"Oh? Really? It just so happens that I have a good relationship with Director Liu. His medical skills are indeed amazing. I will visit him in person someday to see if this is really as simple as you said."

When Zhao heard Su Yu mention Director Liu, her expression suddenly became flustered, but she quickly adjusted her mood and regained her composure.

A girl from outside, no one has asked about her for so long, obviously she is not from here, how could she have any connection with Director Liu? She must be bluffing.

Besides, so many years have passed. Even if we go find Director Liu, I'm afraid he has already forgotten the past, so it would be useless to ask.

So Zhao pulled the quilt over her, wrapped herself tightly, and lay down again, saying only, "Go if you want to, don't disturb my rest."

Su Yu walked out of the room and told Jiang Xunzhong, "Remember what I asked you to do. Ziling is anxiously waiting for you."

Jiang Xunzhong nodded repeatedly, with a hint of excitement in his eyes: "Okay, okay, don't worry, I will arrange it as soon as possible."

When Jiang Xunzhong thought that his son's leg would hopefully recover, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable joy and anticipation in his heart.

Su Yu observed that there was a subtle pain in his expression, not complete indifference and ruthlessness, so she slowly stopped her steps that were about to leave. The curiosity and confusion in her heart prompted her to ask: "Do you really know nothing about hiring a doctor and asking for medicine for Jiang Ziling? Where were you at that time?" There was a bit of involuntary concern and exploration in her tone.

Jiang Xunzhong sighed softly upon hearing this, as if the past had brought back the pain in his heart: "Alas! At that time, I was urgently summoned by the government to participate in the repair work of the city wall. I was away for three months and could not return home. If I could have stayed at home, perhaps the two brothers would not have been so seriously injured."

After saying this, his eyes dimmed, as if he was recalling those unbearable days. "When the unfortunate news came like a bolt from the blue, I almost fell off the high city wall. Although the foreman felt pity for my situation, he did not dare to let me go without authorization due to the urgency of the task. Fortunately, he sympathized with my anxiety and made an exception to advance ten taels of silver as my wages. I hurriedly asked a fellow villager to take the money home and told his mother to find a good curator to save Ziling."

Su Yu's mind suddenly became clear, and many doubts seemed to have found a reasonable explanation at this moment.

She thought to herself that Zhao was stingy with money and it was very likely that this had delayed Jiang Ziling's treatment.

But this is just her speculation based on the current situation and lacks solid evidence.

Therefore, she decided to visit Director Liu first and inquire about the whole story in detail. After all the truth was revealed, she would make it public and expose Zhao's true face.

At the same time, in that simple house, Fang Qin's eyes followed Su Yu's departing figure until he completely disappeared from her sight.

Si Niang's words just now were like a thorn that pierced deeply into her heart and she could not let it go.

If there really is something unexpected, there must be Su Yu's careful planning and manipulation behind it.

A thought quietly arose in my mind: If I can get ahead of myself and get rid of this threat, wouldn't I be able to rest easy from now on?

Thinking of this, Fang Qin's eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of fierceness.

However, her thoughts were interrupted by the timely crying of the baby Dazhuang in her arms.

She was unable to breastfeed and looked around, but no one was willing to lend a hand. She was completely helpless and had to bite the bullet and step into Zhao's room again.

At this time, Zhao had just found a chance to catch her breath from exhaustion and was about to close her eyes for a rest, but unexpectedly Fang Qin's visit again broke this rare tranquility.

Zhao felt mixed emotions and could not help muttering to herself, complaining: "When can I have a moment of peace? I am already weak and frail, and even a moment's rest has become a luxury. Is it true that life will be impossible without me?" Even though she was unwilling in her heart, when she thought of her hungry grandson, she still forced herself to sit up despite her sick body, took out a few copper coins from her hidden private money, and handed them to Fang Qin.

He didn't forget to scold her: "Why don't you have a brain? You go to someone to ask for help with nothing in your hands. Why should they do you a favor for free?"

Fang Qin took the money and rushed out the door in a hurry without even saying thank you.

Along the way, her mind raced, and she quickly considered whether there were any women in the village who had young children, in addition to the families she had visited before, and might be able to help with breastfeeding.

Finally, at the east end of the village, Fang Qin unexpectedly met Bai Ling'er.

The Jiang family's baby is about to turn three years old and is still not weaned. Bai Ling'er originally planned to wait until the child is three years old before making any plans.

At this moment, faced with Fang Qin's sudden visit and the reward she mentioned, the balance in her heart instantly tilted. How could she still hesitate at all... Anyway, her own boy was strong and accepted all kinds of food. He ate every meal with relish. Even if he drank a few sips of milk occasionally, it would not be a big deal.

In this way, I can take advantage of this opportunity to wean him and get some unexpected money. It's the best of both worlds.

Where else can you find such a wonderful thing? Bai Ling'er smiled and took the chubby little one from Fang Qin's arms, gently lifted her clothes, and prepared to bring the baby closer to her warm embrace.

However, the little guy was very smart and was particularly sensitive to strange smells. How could he let anyone get close to him so easily? Da Zhuang's small body was twisting non-stop, making a deafening cry. His round little face was red from crying so hard, and he looked both lovable and a little stubborn.

Bai Ling'er looked at this scene and could only shake her head helplessly and sighed: "Big sister, you see, your baby is obviously not happy. I am really helpless on my side."

Fang Qin looked at her son with distress, as he looked like he had suffered a great injustice. Her heart felt as if it was being cut by a sharp knife, and her dissatisfaction with Su Yu grew day by day.

"What should I do? The child is still so young, and I can't let him eat dry food directly... wuwuwu." Before she finished her words, tears fell like beads from a broken string.

Seeing this, Bai Ling'er quickly comforted him: "Okay, okay, don't cry. Let's do this. You coax him to sleep first. When he is drowsy and hungry, he may be willing to try."

"We can only try this."

Fang Qin accepted the suggestion and hugged Da Zhuang tightly. Sure enough, as time passed, the child's crying gradually subsided until he fell asleep.

As a mother, Fang Qin felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife when her child cried because of hunger. It was as if two heavy stones were pressing on her chest, and every step she took was accompanied by pain.

In order to relieve the discomfort, she could only take the opportunity to drink a lot of water, even though doing so made her abdomen swell like an inflated ball and it was uncomfortable, there was no other way.
