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

However, Xie Xinghua's eyes were filled with tears, and the pain in her heart surged like a tide.

Didn't she know her situation? Didn't she want to get rid of this oppression and humiliation?

But her eldest brother needs someone by his side, and his condition is getting worse. What else can she do except endure the humiliation?

Although Ziling has a leg disability, he can still do some physical work and share the burden of the family, but his eldest brother's condition is worrying.

Faced with such a dilemma, Xie Xinghua could only shake her head helplessly, tears silently falling.

Zhao was a mean and ungrateful person. Her indifference and harshness could not bring Xie Xinghua a moment of peace in exchange for her patience alone.

No matter how much you talk about the truth, if it cannot touch people's hearts, it is ultimately just empty talk.

The key lies in whether Xie Xinghua can wake up in the face of adversity, muster up the courage to fight for a better future for herself and her family.

Su Yu did not stay long. She asked San Ya to bring a basin to hold the mulberries that were filled with love. She then carried the empty basin and left with heavy steps.

Before leaving, she deliberately complained loudly outside the door: "I sent the fruit with good intentions, but was treated so coldly. What an ungrateful fellow!"

These complaints are both a satire on Zhao and a reminder to Xie Xinghua, hoping that she can hear the call from deep in her heart.

Zhao, who was hiding in the dark and watching, heard the noise and mistakenly thought that Xie Xinghua had rejected Sang Ren. She couldn't help but sneer with satisfaction: "She's quite sensible."

There was no guilt in her heart, only greed for power and indifference to others.

Jiang Ziling, who was in the house, became suspicious upon hearing the voice and hurried out.

Su Yu had a gloomy look on his face and walked hurriedly into his house.

He saw the empty basin in her hand and asked in confusion, "What happened?"

Su Yu then recounted in detail everything that had just happened at Xie Xinghua's house.

After hearing this, Jiang Ziling sighed, "It's true that we can't blame the eldest sister-in-law for this. After the eldest brother got into trouble, she was pregnant with San Ya, and these years were really not easy. Not only did she have to take care of the seriously ill eldest brother, but she also had to raise several children. You can imagine how hard it was."

Su Yu nodded gently, showing his understanding: "Don't worry, I understand. After all, not everyone can compete with the old woman of the Zhou family like me."

There was a hint of self-mockery in her words, but also a firm determination.

Jiang Ziling chuckled and agreed, "That's right, you are the best! No matter when and where, you can maintain your tenacity and wisdom, which is admirable."

"Oh, by the way, how far is Willow Village from town?"

Su Yu suddenly asked.

"It will probably take two or three hours to walk. What are you going to do in town, Ayu?"

Jiang Ziling looked at her in confusion.

Su Yu's heart tightened. He didn't expect the distance to be so far.

She led Jiang Ziling to the backpack, poured all the remaining mulberries into the basin, then carefully parted the raspberry leaves, and the bright and juicy red Ganoderma lucidum suddenly appeared before Jiang Ziling's eyes.

"Ganoderma lucidum?"

Jiang Ziling was extremely surprised. "This Ganoderma lucidum is extremely rare. How did you find it, Ayu?"

"Just, I bumped into it by chance."

Su Yu shrugged as if he was relaxed, but in fact his heart was full of anticipation for an unknown fate.

"You are really good. You can find such a treasure on your first trip into the mountains. This thing is very valuable. My brother and I also picked it up once before and sold it for three taels of silver."

Jiang Ziling's words were full of envy.

Huh? Three taels of silver is the only thing worth it? Su Yu was full of questions. She didn't know much about the medicinal materials market, but since Jiang Ziling said so, this red Ganoderma lucidum must be worth a lot of money.

She decided to go to town first to check out the market.

"It's so far, is there a car?" Su Yu asked again.

Jiang Ziling nodded. "The fourth and nineteenth day of every month are market days, and many people in the village will go to the town. If you come across someone pulling an ox cart or a donkey cart, you can take a ride. I'll go with you, so that I can take care of you on the way."

His eyes revealed his concern and support for Su Yu.

Su Yu felt warm in his heart. With Jiang Ziling by his side, this long journey seemed less difficult.

She silently made a wish, hoping that this time she went into the town, she could not only sell the red Ganoderma lucidum for household expenses, but also change their lives, away from the oppression of the Zhao family, and towards freedom and light.

It was a sunny morning in the courtyard. Su Yu's eyes sparkled with anticipation, and he asked anxiously, "What day is it today? When can we go to the market?"

There was a hint of uncontrollable excitement in her voice, as if she was about to open the prelude to a new chapter in her life.

Jiang Ziling sat beside her, with a warm smile on his face, gazing at her tenderly.

He gently stroked the bamboo teacup in his hand and replied leisurely, "Today is fine. It's the 19th. But there's no rush. It won't be too late to go after breakfast."

His tone was calm and peaceful, as if all the troubles in the world could not shake his indifferent attitude towards life.

The expectation in Su Yu's eyes became stronger and stronger, and she asked happily: "Will you go with me?"

However, Jiang Ziling shook his head regretfully and said softly: "Xier and I will wait for you at home."

Although there was a hint of helplessness in his words, there was no resentment at all. He just felt ashamed because of his inconvenient legs and feet.

Su Yu understood his difficulties. She knew Jiang Ziling's inner tenacity and dignity, so she stopped forcing him and silently promised: "Well, when I sell this Ganoderma lucidum and buy some herbs, I can help you heal your leg. It's not too late to go after your leg is healed."

Her face was filled with anticipation, as if she had seen the picture of their beautiful future life slowly unfolding, "Once we have money, we can live a good life."

Jiang Ziling's heart tightened, and he asked with concern: "What about Xier's poison..."

As soon as this topic was touched upon, the two of them suddenly felt heavy-hearted.

Su Yu was also discouraged, and explained helplessly: "Xier was not poisoned by ordinary mute poison, but tongue-closing poison. To cure the tongue-closing poison, you have to use Longyin Rao. These two herbs often appear together, but they are extremely difficult to find. I'm afraid it's not easy to find them."

Seeing the deep frustration on Jiang Ziling's face, Su Yu felt distressed. She quickly comforted him, "Take your time. The reason why this poison is special is that it does no harm to the body except making people unable to make sounds."

However, she was also worried and couldn't help but add: "I'm worried that if Xier can't speak, her tongue may completely degenerate over time. By then, even if the poison is removed, it will be useless."

When Jiang Ziling heard this, he immediately panicked, clenched his hands into fists, and his eyes revealed endless anxiety.

"Then, what should we do?"

He asked in a low voice, his voice full of helplessness and fear.

Su Yu looked at him firmly, his eyes full of faith: "Don't worry, things will turn around after I sell the Ganoderma lucidum!"

Her words were powerful, like a ray of sunshine breaking through the clouds, dispelling the haze in Jiang Ziling's heart.
