The rural doctor is busy with farming, and her abstinent husband can't bear it

How could a dignified official endure such humiliation? His face turned livid and he was furious. When he left, his face was as black as charcoal, extremely gloomy.

"Hahaha……"

When Su Yu heard this, she was already laughing so hard that she was bent over. Just imagining the official's miserable appearance was enough to make her laugh uncontrollably.

"Xiao Yun was humiliated, so naturally he vented his anger on the Zhou family's wife, blaming her for having the money he brought with him, but her home was still like a pigsty, with chickens and ducks running around everywhere. It was all the 'masterpiece' of these poultry..."

"Since that day, Xiaoyun has never set foot on this land again, let alone bring it back to the official in glory."

Not only did the Zhou family fail to curry favor with the powerful, but they also angered high-ranking officials, and were naturally very depressed.

Since then, no trace of poultry could be found in the Zhou family's courtyard, and it was completely silent...

"So if you want to raise chickens and ducks here, she will definitely nag."

Xie Qifen added.

After hearing this, Su Yu looked relaxed and indifferent: "Why would I be afraid of her nagging?"

After several confrontations, Su Yu had already seen through Zhao's character. She was nothing more than a shallow village woman who bullied the good and feared the evil.

Su Yu was confident that such a person would never dare to do anything excessive to him.

In comparison, Su Yu was more curious about what would happen to Bai Xiaoyun later.

"Sister, what then? In this way, won't Bai Xiaoyun lose favor?"

Su Yu asked.

Xie Qifen chuckled, as if she knew more about the situation: "It can't be that simple, otherwise how can we say this girl has skills."

These words made Su Yu even more curious.

How could a high-ranking official let it go easily after receiving such "courtesy"? Even if he did not vent his anger on others, he would probably feel resentful inside.

Xie Qifen continued mysteriously, "We originally thought that Xiaoyun was going to fall flat on her face, but unexpectedly she had her own clever plan. She used some unknown means to make the official change his mind. In the end, she only paid a small amount of money and completely severed her relationship with the Jiang family. There are even rumors that she even changed her name."

Su Yu was surprised when he heard this: "Change your name?"

Xie Qifen nodded heavily, her tone full of affirmation: "It seems to be the case. Now the Jiang family has kept silent about her, fearing that it will affect her bright future."

"Bright future?"

Su Yu was surprised again and again. It was hard for her to imagine what the connection was between her status as a concubine and her so-called bright future.

Xie Qifen said lightly, but her eyes revealed a bit of disdain: "That's right, Bai Xiaoyun, although a concubine, can occupy a place in that wealthy family, and her words carry weight. Her distant cousins, all rely on her care, to gain a foothold in this prosperous city, and each of them has a job, and their lives are also decent. But it is her own brother who is idle all day long and does nothing, but even so, Xiaoyun still can't bear to see him down and out, and privately helped him with a lot of money to help him get married and start a business."

Well, this...if you think about it carefully, there is indeed some truth in it.

In those powerful families, the weight of a word may be equivalent to half a lifetime of hard work of ordinary people.

Su Yu felt mixed emotions and did not make any comment.

Women in the world become concubines either because of bad luck or because they willingly pursue wealth and glory. Each has her own choices and pursuits. Although it is difficult for her to fully understand, she knows the importance of respecting other people's choices.

But on second thought, if the Zhou family is so wealthy, Bai Xiaoyun will naturally be able to help the family, but why are Jiang Ziling and his brothers still living in poverty? It seems that this mother and daughter are not kind-hearted people.

Although Su Yu had never met Bai Xiaoyun, he had no good impression of her. Now that Bai Xiaoyun had become successful, she would not set foot in this remote village, and she would not have any contact with him.

Therefore, to Su Yu, this piece of gossip was nothing more than something to talk about that added some interest to his life. He just listened to it and did not take it too seriously.

However, things in the world are unpredictable, and the interactions between people are sometimes like the wheel of reincarnation, always colliding with each other inadvertently and in unexpected ways.

Su Yu had not foreseen this at the time.

Thinking of how much Mrs. He had spent on medicine, and that this was just the beginning, the long-term accumulation would amount to a considerable expense that was definitely not something an average family could afford, Su Yu said with concern: "Sister, Uncle's illness requires long-term medication, and the cost is really high, you..."

Speaking of this, Xie Qifen couldn't help but frown: "Oh, that's right... This disease may cost hundreds of taels of silver to cure. Where can I find so much money?"

Although her husband Wang Yuanyou went to the town to slaughter pigs every day and earned a considerable income of about fifty cents a day, which was one of the highest incomes in the village, it was still a drop in the bucket compared to the high medical expenses and was of no help.

Facing this cruel reality, Xie Qifen's eyes were firm, as if she had made up her mind: "As long as I can cure the disease, I will go bankrupt even if it means losing everything... I will go to my mother's house tomorrow to see if my brothers can help..."

Looking at Xie Qifen's sad face, Su Yu couldn't help feeling distressed, and thought to himself that maybe there was something he could do.

After all, the price of the medicine prescribed by Director Liu is very favorable, and the cost is relatively low, so I can save a lot of expenses. However, I think about it again. If I make an exception and help you this time, what about next time? Once the word gets out, everyone will come to ask for a low price to buy medicine. Wouldn’t it be a dilemma to refuse? Director Liu runs a medical clinic, and the profit is limited. It is rare for him to give me such a discount. If I abuse this favor because of my selfishness, wouldn’t it be too unfair to him?

Su Yu would never do such a thing as taking advantage of other people's kindness to benefit himself.

After thinking for a moment, she gave her own plan: "I will come to give uncle a physical examination every month to ensure that the treatment is progressing smoothly."

Su Yu decided to provide help within his ability.

Hearing this, Xie Qifen's face bloomed with a grateful smile again. She agreed repeatedly, and her heart was filled with warmth.

People are so contradictory. They will forget the slightest favor in the blink of an eye, but once the benefits become more abundant, they will complain that the giver is getting in the way.

What’s worse, selfless dedication to the extreme is taken for granted and loses its due value.

The carriage sped along the winding paths like an arrow shot from a bow. Its open-top structure allowed cool breezes to blow freely, bringing with it a sense of freedom or adventure that was hard to tell.

Xie Qifen, who was experiencing this kind of speed and passion for the first time, felt a thrill of novelty in her heart, but also a little panic that she could not hide. Her slender fingers tightly grasped the rough wooden strips on the edge of the carriage, as if they were her last link with the stable world, fearing that if she was not careful, she would be thrown into the unknown abyss by this unbridled speed.
