When the doctor came over, Cai really fainted.

The doctor felt the pulse, stroked his goatee with one hand and said, "Not good, not good." It's not that the wound on the forehead is serious, but that Cai has been poor inside for a long time and will die sooner or later. They all live in the same village, and he has heard a lot about the Jiang family. Liu is really cruel. It's not a famine, and I have never seen anyone torture their daughter-in-law like this.

Facing Liu's old face asking about the price, the doctor said coldly: "One tael of silver."

Liu was so angry that she said, "What kind of precious medicinal material is worth one tael? We live in the same village, are you trying to rob us?"

"One tael of silver is just the money for the medicine for my treatment. I haven't even paid you for the prescription yet! Even ten taels of silver would not be enough to cure your daughter-in-law's illness!"

Liu was angry: "What's wrong with you? Stop talking nonsense here."

The doctor did not argue with Liu, but only said to the children: "Your mother is in a very weak condition. She needs to rest more and not work too hard. I need to prescribe some medicine to regulate her. Otherwise, she won't live for many years."

Jiang Xue burst into tears. She was really about to lose her mother.

Jiang Ming was anxious: "Doctor, you have to treat my mother. We will pay any price."

The doctor shook his head and handed over a prescription: "I don't have all the herbs here. Follow this prescription and go to the big pharmacy in the county to get medicine for your mother. It would be best if you can see a doctor in the county again."

Liu said in a strange voice: "How can rural people afford such precious gold? Just heal the wound."

The doctor was angry and didn't waste time talking to Liu: "Give me money, one or two taels of silver for the treatment."

Liu had a stern face and reluctantly took out one or two taels of silver and gave it to the doctor.

After sending the doctor away and seeing that the crowd was about to leave, Jiang Xue said loudly to Liu: "My mother is sick, and the doctor said that she needs to take medicine and take care of herself. Grandmother hasn't paid for the medicine yet."

Liu turned her face away and said, "Who among the peasant families can afford to pay ten taels of silver for medical treatment? Didn't the doctor say that ten taels of silver is not enough? Where can we find money to fill the bottomless pit?"

Jiang Yue just lowered her head and pulled Jiang Ming, Jiang Ming understood: "Grandma has also heard that my mother's body is exhausted. Since you don't pay for the treatment, you can't let my mother do the housework in the future!"

Everyone turned their heads, wondering why they didn't understand. Was there something else going on here?

Jiang Xue blinked: "Grandmother divided our eldest house and didn't give us any food. We can only work and can't eat!"

The crowd began to discuss quietly: "Sure enough, they weren't kissing."

"No wonder a few kids are wandering around the mountain all day long."

"What a cruel heart! I think he wants to starve Jiang Youshan and his family to death."

Liu's face turned greener and greener, and she had no place to vent her anger: "It is natural to respect your parents-in-law, and you dare to brag about it."

"My mother needs to recover from her illness, so she won't do housework anymore."

"It's embarrassing, so hurry up and take your mother back to recuperate." Liu was vague, and said that she should take her mother back first. There was no point in arguing with a few bastards about work. If Cai dared not to work, she would be unfilial to her parents-in-law, and she had the right to divorce her.

Li was unhappy and pulled Jiang Youtian into the house.

"His father, you said you were my mother's eldest son and that my mother loved you the most. Why are you throwing all the dirty water on me now?"

Jiang Youtian grinned, "Don't worry, it's just this little thing, my mother will remember it, and will definitely give us some benefits in the future."

Mrs. Li was even more unhappy. "Our two sons are getting married soon. We are being accused of beating up our eldest sister-in-law. This will affect us!"

"Do you think others are stupid? They all know... Forget it, forget it, I won't say it anymore. I can't explain it to you clearly."

Jiang Ming settled Cai and left Jiang Xue and Jiang Lei at home. He carried a hoe and followed Jiang Yue to dig taro.

"Big sister, why don't you let the upper room pay to go to the county town to get medicine?"

Jiang Yue sighed: "Do you think we can get more money?"

Jiang Ming was unwilling: "That's what I want!"

Jiang Yue explained: "Since you don't want to pay, you should get other benefits first, get our mother out, and then get our father out!"

Jiang Ming's eyes lit up: "Big sister, do you want our father to split up the family? But this is not easy to do. If the brothers want to split up the family while the parents are still alive, they will be accused of being unfilial. Our father will definitely not agree."

"Then let the one in front bring it up."

Jiang Ming was puzzled: "I just saw our father's good labor, why would he mention it?"

"What if our father has no labor?"

"That old woman will definitely kick us all out. But..."

Jiang Yue didn't say anything, she had her own way.

The two found a taro bush. Jiang Ming dug it with a hoe while Jiang Yue followed behind to pick up the taro. Soon they filled a whole basket.

A basket of taro is enough for the family to eat for several days.

After lunch, Jiang Yue began to think about making money. After two days in the mountains, Jiang Yue found that there were not many game in the mountains, and if he wanted to hunt, he had to go deep into the mountains.

You can make a living from the land, so your accuracy should be no problem for hunting. All you need is hunting equipment.

Still need to get hunting gear first.

Jiang Yue asked Jiang Ming: "Is Lao Luotou in the village a hunter?"

Jiang Ming nodded. "It was before, but later it was said that he wanted to change his household registration to a farmer, but I don't know the details. Now Old Man Luo doesn't hunt anymore, and he bought a few acres of land to grow crops."

"Does he still have his hunting tools?"

Jiang Ming's eyes lit up, he glanced at Jiang Xue in front of Cai, and said in a low voice: "He has a complete set of hunting equipment! I just don't know if he is willing to lend it to me..."

"Go try it."

The two hit it off and were about to go out.

Jiang Xue jumped up and said, "Brother, sister, wherever you go, I'll go too."

Jiang Ming would never let her follow him: "We are going to the mountain, what are you going to do? Go to the back and dig wild vegetables later, otherwise what are we going to eat tonight?"

Jiang Xue stamped her feet and said, if she didn't want to go, then she wouldn't go. Her mother also needed to be looked after. The field at the back was close to home, so she could take care of her if anything happened.

Old Man Luo's house was halfway up a hill, with no neighbors around. When he climbed up the hill, he saw that the door of Old Man Luo's house was ajar. Jiang Ming called out twice at the door, and two people, one old and one young, came out to greet him.

On the way, Jiang Ming explained the situation of the Luo family in detail. The Luo family had only one son for three generations. The son of old man Luo was attacked by a black bear while hunting and lost his life. Old man Luo sent his son to his death. Only Luo Douzi was left in the family. He did not dare to let him learn hunting, so he bought a field and farmed for a living.

The two people who came out were Old Man Luo and Luo Douzi.

"Akira, what's the matter?"

Old Man Luo was very surprised by Jiang Ming's arrival. Jiang Ming's father Jiang Youshan was the same age as his son. They had been good friends since childhood and had grown up wearing open-crotch pants together. Jiang Ming and Luo Douzi naturally played well together when they were young, but once they had a fight for some reason. His grandson did not go to play with him, and Jiang Ming did not come to Luo Douzi. Later, when his son got into trouble, Jiang Youshan took Jiang Ming to help with the burial. Old Man Luo saw him once and never saw Jiang Ming again.

"Grandpa Luo, can I borrow your hunting equipment?" Jiang Ming stated his purpose.

"What? You want to borrow hunting gear to go hunting in the mountains? Does your father know? Hunting is not a joke." Old man Luo waved his hand. Living in a village, he heard that Youshan's family had a hard time, but in a remote village, people either rely on the mountains to make a living or farm for a living. Whose family has a good life?

Jiang Ming said sincerely: "Please lend me one, it will not be in vain. I will use one tenth of the prey as commission." On the way here, Jiang Yue instructed Jiang Ming that it would not be in vain.

"It's no joke in the deep mountains. There are poisonous snakes and insects, and there are also man-eating beasts. If you're not careful, you'll lose your life. Grandpa Luo is harming you by lending you hunting gear! Didn't your uncle Chun lose his life because of that?"

Luo Douzi's eyes darkened as he spoke, "Grandfather, you know his family's situation. If you don't lend it to him, will he not go into the mountains?"

Jiang Ming assured again and again: "We won't go into the mountains, we'll just hunt in the nearby woods."

Old man Luo sighed. If there was no way to make a living, why would a child think of going hunting? I am afraid that if he doesn't borrow hunting equipment, he will go into the mountains. Wouldn't that be more dangerous? Forget it. It's useless to leave the hunting equipment at home. Let the child take it.

Leading the brother and sister into the house, Old Man Luo told them: "Grandpa Luo doesn't want your commission. Just hunt pheasants and wild birds in the nearby mountains. Don't go into the deep woods."

Jiang Ming nodded.

Jiang Yue picked a bow, which was large, heavy, and powerful, with thirty arrows. That was about it.
