The next day.

About an hour and a half after Chen Lang left, a young man from the village came running to the door of the Chen family's house and shouted, "Is Aunt Qin home?"

Qin responded, "I'm here, what's wrong, Dabao?"

Chen Dabao said, "The village chief asked me to inform you that Ping Zhilin's little genius doctor is coming to our village to provide free medical consultations. If you are free, you can go and let the little genius doctor take a look at your health."

Qin was quite surprised and said, "Free medical treatment? Is there such a good thing in the world?"

Chen Dabao said, "The little doctor said that someone in our village saved his master, and in order to repay this kindness, he came to the village to provide free medical treatment."

"Aunt Qin, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss this opportunity, you'll never see it again. The little genius doctor usually charges a lot for his consultations."

"I still have to notify the next family. You can make your own decision."

Qin immediately came to Qian's door and called her out, "Lazy daughter-in-law, don't sleep anymore. Take Nian Nian and Yue Yue with you and follow me."

Qian opened the door and asked sleepily, "Mom, what's wrong? I haven't had enough sleep yet."

"This is a godsend," Qin said. "Ping Zhilin's amazing doctor is here to see us, free of charge."

"This is such a bargain, how can I miss it?"

When Qian heard this, she became excited and said, "Mom, wait for me, I'll change my clothes."

A moment later, Qin and Qian each walked out holding a baby.

At this time, Qian found Li Xiuzhi sweeping the floor, touched Qin's arm, and whispered, "Mother, do you want to call her too?"

Qin said unhappily, "You want to show off your ability, right? Shut up and take the child with you."

Qian didn't know what she said wrong, which made her mother-in-law angry, so she shut up in dismay.

The reason why Qin had this attitude was because Chen Lang had "talked nonsense" in the village last time, saying that he had abused Li Xiuzhi. As a result, when the villagers mentioned Li Xiuzhi now, they would think of Chen Lang's words.

If he took Li Xiuzhi to see the young doctor, and found out that she was seriously ill, wouldn't that confirm the rumors that he had abused her?

So Li Xiuzhi absolutely cannot go.

Not only Li Xiuzhi couldn't go, but Guoguo couldn't go either.

In order to prevent Li Xiuzhi from sneaking away, Qin gave her a strict order, telling her not to leave the house at all.

Afterwards, Qin and Qian came to the big locust tree in the center of the village. Xu Fei's temporary clinic was opened under the tree. There was a long queue in front of the examination table. More than 80% of the people in Hezhong Village had come.

Qin hurried to line up.

Xu Fei's consultation speed was so fast that the villagers felt that he was a bit perfunctory, but because of his title of "little miracle doctor", the villagers did not dare to ask too many questions even though they had doubts.

Soon it was Qin's turn.

Xu Fei didn't know that this was Chen Lang's mother, so he followed the previous method to examine her, and it was over in a few breaths.

Qin was a little dissatisfied and said, "Doctor, please take a closer look. You only took my pulse for a short while, what can you diagnose?"

Xu Fei raised his eyebrows and said, "Auntie, you're in very good health. Do you really need me to tell you that you have something wrong with you in order to make a proper diagnosis?"

Qin thought about it and realized the same thing. She smiled awkwardly and left her seat.

At this time, someone nearby shouted, "Qin, where is your Li Xiuzhi? Why didn't she come with you?"

Qin glared at the man and said, "There are so many things going on at home, how could she come?"

The man then asked, "Isn't your third daughter-in-law, Qian, here too? Could it be that the rumors are true? Li Xiuzhi does all the work, big and small, in your household by herself?"

Qin said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense here."

When Xu Fei heard the three words "Li Xiuzhi", his heart trembled.

Isn’t this the name of Chen Lang’s wife?

It turns out that the old woman in front of him is Chen Lang’s mother.

Xu Fei was also a very smart person. He guessed Qin's thoughts immediately. She didn't let Li Xiuzhi come because she was afraid that Li Xiuzhi's poor health would be exposed to the villagers.

By then, her reputation as a wicked mother-in-law will no longer be hidden.

After realizing this, Xu Fei said, "Auntie, if you have anyone else at home, please ask her to come as well. Before I came, my teacher specifically instructed me to treat every resident in Hezhong Village."

"The teacher instructed me, I dare not disobey."

Qin hesitated and said, "She really can't come, and if you don't tell your teacher when you go back, your teacher won't know."

Someone beside him yelled, "Qin, you don't let Xiuzhi come to see the doctor, are you afraid?"

Qin's face flushed red as she said, "Why should I be afraid? You guys just gossip all day long."

"Don't be afraid, then call Xiuzhi over." Everyone cheered.

Qin couldn't stand the provocation and shouted, "Call me if you want, Dabao, run again and call Li Xiuzhi."

While Chen Dabao went to call Li Xiuzhi, Xu Fei examined several other people, and then, using the excuse of insufficient medicinal materials, asked his apprentices to go to the river to collect herbs.

The villagers didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

About a cup of tea later, Li Xiuzhi came late with Guoguo in her arms.

Xu Fei pointed to the stool in front of him and said, "Please sit down."

After Li Xiuzhi sat down, Xu Fei said again: "Please put your hand on the pulse pillow."

Seeing that Xu Fei pretended not to know her, Li Xiuzhi followed suit and pretended to meet him for the first time.

This time, Xu Fei took an unprecedentedly long time to diagnose the patient's pulse.

And the brows become more and more furrowed as time goes by.

Qin's mood also gradually became anxious and uneasy.

After a cup of tea, Xu Fei let go of his hand, shook his head and sighed.

"Madam, have you been doing heavy work for a long time and haven't had enough to eat for a long time?"

Li Xiuzhi glanced at Qin and saw that she kept shaking her head. She then slowly lowered her head and said in a whisper, "No."

Xu Fei said, "Madam, it's useless to deny it verbally, because your pulse tells me the answer."

"I can only say that if you don't change this kind of life, you might not survive until next year."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Most villagers were still skeptical about the rumors in the village about Qin abusing Li Xiuzhi, but now that the young doctor had said so, it was a foregone conclusion that Qin had abused Li Xiuzhi.

This is such a wicked woman!

Qin's face flushed red, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Doctor, why are you talking nonsense?"

Xu Fei sneered: "Why, old woman, are you doubting my medical skills?"

"I cured the magistrate's wife's illness. How could I lie about something like this?!"

The words "County Magistrate's Wife" frightened Qin Shi. She quickly changed her words and said, "It's a misunderstanding. I have absolutely no doubt about your medical skills."

"I just want to ask, how should I treat my daughter-in-law's condition?"

Xu Fei said calmly, "Eat well and drink well, and the disease will go away."

When Qin heard this, she immediately felt relieved.

I was so scared, I thought it was serious, but this is it?

"Don't worry, doctor. After I go back, I will take good care of Xiuzhi and let her work less and eat more." Qin said arrogantly, and at the same time she also hoped that these words could change the villagers' impression of her family.

Otherwise, if her reputation as the "evil mother-in-law" gets out, how will the fourth son ever get married?

However, Qian on the side was not happy. If Xiuzhi worked less, it would mean that she would have to work more. How could this be possible?

My pair of white and tender hands are for cracking melon seeds and eating snacks, not for doing work.

Qin noticed Qian's twisted expression and secretly pinched the back of her hand. Qian understood.

My mother-in-law lied to the doctor. After the doctor left, life continued as before.

Qian suddenly became happy again.

"Old lady, I haven't finished what I'm saying yet." Xu Fei smiled and said, "To maintain this lady's health, she must eat at least one egg every morning."

"I need to have the old turtle stewed with chicken once every two weeks."

"As for the medicine, drink the medicine I prescribe. It's not expensive, five cents per set. Take three sets a month, and you'll be fully recovered in half a year."

The smiles on Qin and Qian's faces froze in an instant!
