After hearing what Shen said, Xiao Lan immediately understood. Shen had been dissatisfied with the eldest brother's family for a long time. She probably came here tonight on purpose to inform them that the eldest brother's conspiracy to murder Xiao Lan was confirmed.

The whole family was silent. Zhang thought of the sad things and wiped her tears silently. Shen and Fu sat beside her and comforted her quietly.

"Where did you go? You said you were going to the toilet, but did you fall in there? Do you want me to rescue you?" Cui's loud voice came from next door.

Shen's mouth twitched and she went back.

Xiaolan's family fell silent again. The mothers and daughters were talking in low voices, "The old family has suffered retribution. They are blackmailed by a man like Zhao Ermaizi. They can't get away from it for a while."

"Yes, mother, we should be more careful in the future. Our family's good days are still to come." Xiaoting said.

"Well, it will be good days from now on. Let's go to bed and let the child's father guard the door and wait for Dalang to return the cow." Zhang said.

Soon the yard fell into silence, Xiao Lan lay down in the quilt, the kang had been heated all day, the temperature was very high, in order to dissipate the heat, the window in the house was opened a crack. This day was really tiring, although the kang was hot and uncomfortable to sleep, she still fell asleep in a daze.

The largest pharmacy in the town is Chunshengtang. It was so late, and the pharmacy had closed early. The owner had already gone to bed. Sheng Hong and Sheng Hao knocked for a long time before the door opened.

Sheng Hong told Xiaoru about her burns and scalds and said he didn't want to leave scars.

The shopkeeper was a bit knowledgeable and knew that after being burned by fire and scalded by boiling water, he thought to himself that it was unlikely that such an injury would not leave scars. He said, "The doctor has gone home, how about I arrange for the doctor on duty to come to your house tomorrow? I have never heard of such a burn leaving no scars at all."

Sheng Hong thanked him quickly, took the painkillers prescribed by Doctor Li, bought a tube of burn ointment and went back.

When Sheng Hao came to send the ox cart, it was already very late at night. The two brothers didn't talk much, so Sheng Xuan locked the door and went to bed.

The next day, Chunshengtang sent Doctor Shi, who was good at treating burns, to Lao Sheng's house.

Doctor Shi looked at Xiaoru's wound and shook his head, saying, "This is the first time I've seen such severe burns and scalds in all these years. My medicine can relieve the pain, but if you want to avoid scars, I'm sorry that I can't treat it because of my limited knowledge." Doctor Shi stroked his beard and thought for a moment, then said, "As for treating burns, I suggest you go to Jishengtang in the county town. Maybe there is a way to treat it there."

Wang and Xiaoru had lost hope at first, but when they heard what Doctor Shi said, their eyes immediately lit up.

Doctor Shi left some pain-relieving ointment and said goodbye.

"Mom, my legs hurt so much. I took the medicine prescribed by Doctor Li last night. I think it works. Please ask your sister-in-law to make some for me." Xiaoru begged Wang with tears in her eyes.

"Okay, okay." Wang immediately went to find Xu to boil the medicine.

Sheng Nuo and Sheng Hong saw Doctor Shi off and went back into the house.

After being educated by Grandpa Sheng, Sheng Nuo knew the priorities of things. The most important thing now was to treat Xiaoru's leg. The New Year was coming soon, so they had to start the treatment today.

Sheng Nuo's family was discussing going to Jishengtang in the county town. The medicine prescribed by Doctor Li and the ointment left by Doctor Shi could only relieve pain, but would leave scars. If Xiaoru wanted to continue treatment, she had no choice but to try her luck at Jishengtang.

Wang agreed, "The medicines in the county are definitely more complete than those in the town, and they will definitely cure Xiaoru."

Sheng Nuo told Grandpa Sheng and Cui about the family's decision, and they didn't object. This time they didn't go to Xiaolan's house to borrow a bullock cart, because the journey to the county town was long and they disliked the slow movement of the bullock cart.

Sheng Hong went to call a carriage, and Xu brought the boiled medicine to Xiaoru. Xiaoru had already applied Doctor Shi's ointment, and her legs still hurt a little. She tilted her head back and drank the medicine in the bowl in one gulp, and said she would hurry to the county town.

Sheng Hong carried Xiao Ru into the carriage and went to the county town with Wang and Xu. Sheng Nuo stayed at home. Wang was on guard against him, fearing that he would make plans for Xiao Ru again.

Xiaolan's family got up very early today. It's the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year is only two days away. Zhang Shanfeng can't wait to go home.

"Grandma, grandpa, uncle, aunt, Sister Xiaoyan, Xiaohu, my family will build a big house next year, and you all can come to my house to celebrate the New Year. This year the house is small and too crowded, so we won't force you to stay." Xiaolan said with a smile.

"Oh, these words sound very nice coming from Xiaolan's mouth." Zhang Shanfeng laughed heartily.

Sheng Xuan and Zhang started loading things onto Zhang Shanfeng's carriage early in the morning. They loaded four bags of steamed buns, four rabbits, six salted fish, and the frozen tofu from yesterday. They also loaded two bags of flour and a basket of chestnuts. These things were quite a lot, but Sheng Xuan and Zhang still felt that they were far from enough.

The couple wanted to buy some pork and wine for them, but Zhang Shanfeng refused. They also wanted to pay them, but they were also forcibly rejected. The couple simply stopped being polite with them.

Zhang was a little reluctant to leave, "Dad, Mom, we will build a house in the spring, you have to come and help."

Zhang Shanfeng nodded and agreed, "You guys go back, we'll come over to help after the New Year."

After seeing off Zhang Shanfeng and his group, Xiaolan's family went to the town to buy New Year's goods.

Most of the family's money was in Xiaolan's hands. She put the money in her purse, got on the ox cart and followed her family to the town.

Today is the market day, and it is the last big market day of this year. There are so many people at the market day, and everyone is smiling.

Sheng Xuan parked the ox cart in front of the grain store and asked the waiter to help look after it. Their family was now a big customer of the grain store, so looking after the ox cart was naturally no problem for them.

"Mom, big sister, let's go to the jewelry store." After walking a few steps, Xiao Lan saw a gold and silver shop. The shop had made money this year. Xiao Lan looked at her mother and her three daughters with bald heads and hands, and she decided to buy some jewelry.

As soon as the family of five entered the shop, they were warmly received by the shopkeeper. The county town was not big, and everyone knew that her family supplied tofu to Tianxianglou. Tofu was very popular in the town during this period, and Xiaolan's family and Tianxianglou made a lot of money.
