Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

Qian screamed in shock, "What a joke! I've never had such a good meal before, so why should she?"

After shouting, I realized something was wrong.

The surrounding villagers all looked over, their eyes full of mockery and sarcasm.

Because Qin An came, the other men of the Chen family, except Chen Lang, did not go to the county town to work in the past few days.

When Chen Dabao went to call Li Xiuzhi to see the patient, these old men also came to the scene.

Qian's words not only made her feel ashamed, but also made Chen Sanlang beside her feel embarrassed. He pulled Qian behind him and whispered, "What are you yelling about? Aren't you ashamed enough?"

Qin also felt that the doctor was deliberately making things difficult for her.

The recipe for food supplements is nothing special. Chen Lang now goes out to fish and catch shrimps every day, and can earn at least enough money to lay two eggs a day. As for stewing chicken with old turtle, Chen Lang can figure it out himself.

The key lies in the prescription. One set costs five cents of silver, and three sets a month would cost one tael and five cents of silver.

How could a rural farming family have such conditions!

But now the eyes of the whole village are on him, and he cannot get through this without expressing his opinion.

Qin secretly sighed and said, "Little Doctor, we are just ordinary farmers. We can't save a few taels of silver after working hard all year round. Now you ask us to spend 150 taels of silver every month for our daughter-in-law's medicine. It is really beyond our ability to bear."

"Do you have any other ideas? As long as it's within our capabilities, I won't refuse."

Hearing this, the surrounding villagers nodded in agreement.

Although Qin was usually mean and sharp, what she said was not wrong.

Farmers work hard all year round, but after deducting various taxes, they really don't have much money left. Moreover, Qin's fourth son and youngest daughter are both unmarried, so most of their family's money has to be saved for these two children. It is really unaffordable for them to spend an extra one or two taels of silver every month to buy medicine for Li Xiuzhi.

Xu Fei thought for a moment and said, "What the old woman said makes some sense. I was simply not thoughtful enough."

"How about this, to improve your diet, eat old turtle stewed chicken once a week, and two eggs a day."

"Then give me another five taels of silver, and I'll prescribe three months' worth of medicine for you. As long as you strictly follow the dietary supplements, you'll most likely no longer need the medicine after three months."

"But I have to tell you in advance, if you want your daughter-in-law to get better completely, you can't neglect her in terms of food supplements. Otherwise, she will have to continue taking medicine after three months."

Qin kept a stern face and said nothing.

Xu Fei frowned: "Old lady, with your attitude, do you agree or not?"

Qin Shi completely stopped pretending: "Of course not. Is she worthy of me spending five taels of silver to treat her illness?"

"Not to mention the old turtle stewed chicken once a week. Can't I eat it myself? Why should I give it to her?"

"You, doctor, are really bored. Why are you doing free clinics for no reason? You must be crazy."

Everyone looked at it and realized that what he had just said was all fake.

In the final analysis, he was reluctant to spend money on his daughter-in-law's medical treatment, and even didn't want to satisfy her with food.

"Earlier, I was thinking of arranging a marriage for the fourth daughter of the Chen family. Fortunately, I didn't tell her. Otherwise, I would have harmed other girls."

"That's right. If my daughter marries him, she'll end up like Li Xiuzhi sooner or later."

"Why is Qian so white and fat?"

"Don't you think about how evil Qian's family is? She has eight brothers. If Chen Lao San dares to bully her, his legs will be broken immediately."

"It seems like Li Xiuzhi only has one brother. No wonder she gets bullied."

These words were like knives, piercing the hearts of every member of the Chen family.

Old Man Chen's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He gritted his teeth and said to his family, "What are you still doing here? Aren't you ashamed? Go home!"

Before he finished speaking, everyone saw the apprentice brought by Xu Fei running all the way over.

"Master, something terrible has happened."

Xu Fei frowned: "Why are you so flustered? Speak properly."

The apprentice gasped and said, "I was just at the entrance of the village and saw someone fainted on the side of the road with two bloody holes on his legs."

"I remember Master saying that this kind of wound is usually caused by a poisonous snake bite."

"I was too weak to carry it, so I ran to find my master."

Xu Fei said anxiously, "Take me over there to have a look."

The villagers also rushed over.

Qin was a person who loved excitement. Although she had just lost face, now that there was something exciting to watch, her heart began to stir again.

Old man Chen shouted sternly, "You are not allowed to go. Go home."

Qin grumbled, "Just take a look from a distance, it won't cause any trouble. Just to see which unlucky person got bit by a snake."

After hearing what the apprentice said, Li Xiuzhi understood.

The person who was bitten by the snake was her man Chen Lang.

Although she knew that this was most likely an act, Li Xiuzhi's heart still tightened uncontrollably.

What if you end up making things worse and actually get bitten by a snake?

Just when Li Xiuzhi was feeling a little panicked, a loud shout came from the direction of the village entrance: "Old man Chen, come here quickly."

"Your Erlang was bitten by a snake!"

Old man Chen's face changed and he immediately ran towards the village entrance.

The other members of the Chen family also hurried to follow.

Qin murmured as she ran, "He was bitten by a poisonous snake. Doesn't this mean I have to spend money to treat him?"

"Useless thing, not only can't you make any money, but you also have to spend my money."

"I'm so unlucky to have such a useless family."

When I arrived at the village entrance, I could hear the villagers talking endlessly.

"There's no escaping this wound. It was a venomous snake bite. A snake catcher in the next village died that way. It was a very tragic death."

"A few days ago, I heard Chen Lang say he wanted to catch poisonous snakes. I even tried to persuade him at the time, but I didn't expect him to go after all. Hey, I said catching snakes wasn't something a scholar could do, and it turned out to be true."

"Why would he catch a poisonous snake for no reason?"

"It was Qin who forced him to do it. He said that catching fish and shrimps made too little money, and that catching snakes made more money."

Qin arrived just in time to hear this and angrily retorted: "Bullshit, when did I ever say such a thing?"

The person who had spoken turned around and saw that it was Qin, and sneered, "You don't admit it? When you asked Chen Erlang to catch the poisonous snake, many people heard it besides me. Do you want me to call them all here to confront them?"

Qin knew that she was in the wrong, so she glared at the man fiercely and squeezed into the crowd, wanting to see if Chen Lang was still alive.

After squeezing through the crowd, I saw Chen Lang lying on the ground, dying. His left calf was swollen like a steamed bun, and black blood was still oozing out of the wound.

When Li Xiuzhi saw this scene, she collapsed to the ground.

Guoguo hugged Li Xiuzhi and cried loudly.

A moment later, Li Xiuzhi crawled to Xu Fei's side, tugging at his clothes and pleading, "Little doctor, please save my husband. I can't lose him, and neither can my daughter."

"Please, please!"

After saying this, he kowtowed to Xu Fei repeatedly.

Xu Fei hurriedly supported Li Xiuzhi and said, "Madam, doctors are kind-hearted. As long as I can save you, I will do my best."

"Please get up quickly."

When Li Xiuzhi raised her head, Xu Fei winked at her, meaning that sister-in-law, don't get excited, it's all fake!
