Yang Xiuxiu's meaning was clear. She wanted Lin Ting to ask Shen Qingzhou for a child.

"Mother-in-law, I don't have that in mind right now."

Lin Ting bent down, picked up Shen Wanyi, and returned to the room she had tidied.

As soon as I entered, I saw Shen Qingzhou lying on the floor. He had difficulty walking and the bed was not suitable for him to sleep on.

This man had wheat-colored skin and was very good-looking, but Lin Ting was not the same Lin Ting, and he was not familiar with him.

Yang Xiuxiu asked her to have a child with a man she didn't know well, and to do it herself. Lin Ting got goosebumps just thinking about it.

When two people are together, they usually don't talk. It was like this before and it is like this now.

The next day!

The sky at the hour of Mao is hazy, as blurry as reaching your hand into the fog.

Shen Qingzhou got up at this time. He grabbed two small stools, sat on his wooden board, and prepared to go to the county to write a letter to someone.

When Lin Ting heard the sound, he immediately got up, woke up Shen Wanyi who was still asleep, and helped her wash her face and rinse her mouth.

He followed Shen Qingzhou with a basket of calamus and a small cloth bag of plantain seeds on his back.

The calamus had been left overnight, and since it was summer, the moisture had been lost. Lin Ting felt much lighter on his back than yesterday.

Normally, this road would take only one hour to get to the county, but Shen Qingzhou had to walk for an hour and a half every time.

In addition, Lin Ting was now carrying a backpack and walking and resting, so his speed was about the same as his.

"Mom, are we going to the county with Dad to write letters?"

Shen Wanyi walked beside Shen Qingzhou in a baby voice. This was her first time to the county, and she was very happy.

"Yes, let's go to the county with your father. If you are with your parents, the bad guys won't dare to get close to Xiaobao."

Shen Qingzhou and Lin Ting had nothing in common. She followed him probably because she was afraid of Shen Jizu's family.

After all, something like that happened yesterday, and Lin Ting, a woman and a child, must have been scared.

After walking for an hour, it was dawn and the sun was shining on the treetops. Lin Ting and the other two sat under a tree to rest.

"Shen Qingzhou, how long do we have to walk? My legs are sore."

When Shen Wanyi heard this, he immediately patted Lin Ting's legs with both hands.

Shen Qingzhou looked around and said calmly, "We'll be there in another half an hour."

He handed the kettle to Lin Ting. He had no good feelings towards the lazy woman in front of him.

Lin Ting was just his wife, so she had responsibilities.

This body has become too weak because it has not been used for many years.

After walking for a while, they heard the sound of wheel behind them. Turning around, they saw that it was the head of Wushan Village.

"Qingzhou, why did you bring your family with you to the county today?"

"Hello! Village chief."

Lin Ting greeted the village chief with a smile. The sunlight shone through the leaves, and the mottled light fell on her body, making her look bright and confident.

"Village chief, thank you for helping our family last night."

Shen Qingzhou was so busy yesterday that he didn't even have time to thank the village chief.

"It's within my job scope, so it doesn't count as helping. I also need to go to the county. Come up and I'll take you along."

"That's great, Xiaobao, go and thank the village chief."

"Thank you, Grandpa Village Chief!"

Before Shen Qingzhou could say anything, Lin Ting agreed first because she was really tired from walking.

The ox cart was not high, and with the help of the village chief and Shen Qingzhou's strong arm strength, he quickly got on the ox cart.

As soon as he got on the car, the village chief smelled the fragrance of calamus coming from Lin Ting's backpack. Even though it was covered with a cloth, it couldn't block out the fragrance.

While driving the ox cart, the village chief talked to Lin Tingdao behind him.

"Are you planning to sell this waterweed?"

Lin Ting smiled and nodded: "Yes! I want to try it."

The village chief stopped talking, but he felt sorry for the family in his heart.

Water plants can only be used as spices, and they grow almost everywhere by the water. Who would sell them?

He was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

Along the way, it was Lin Ting who asked about the village chief first.

"Village chief, I'm actually very curious. I see that every family has some land, so why can't they have enough to eat?"

The village chief smiled knowingly. He didn't expect that someone like Lin Ting would ask such a question.

"Well, there's little land and a large population. Every household has one or two acres of land. Besides paying taxes, people also need clothes and food.

Sometimes someone in the family would have a headache or fever and need medicine or medical treatment, and the money for medical treatment would have to be exchanged for grain.

Many of the fields you see are owned by owners, who rent out the remote fields to farmers for cultivation.

Farmers can only get 30% of their food, so life is difficult for everyone."

After a pause, the village chief looked back at Shen Qingzhou, who remained silent, and continued.

"Actually, what Shen Liu said is not wrong. Qingzhou and his family's ancestors did serve as officials, so their family is considered a well-off family in Wushan Village.

There are two scholars in the family, so we don't have to pay grain taxes. Unfortunately, we trained the wrong people and spent money on the wrong land, making our family live a hard life. "

When they arrived in Wenzhu County, the village chief placed Shen Qingzhou and Lin Ting at the place where Shen Qingzhou often set up his stall.

His bookcase is well designed, with four hidden wooden bars that turn into a small table when pulled out.

Then I took out a banner from the book box that said "Letter writing and book copying" and hung it up, and it became a stall.

Lin Ting held Shen Wanyi's hand and asked others as they walked where the largest medical clinic and pharmacy in Wenzhu County was.

After walking two streets, she and Shen Wanyi finally stood under the three words "Wanhetang".

This clinic is very large and there are many patients coming and going. Lin Ting took the child and walked directly to the pharmacy.

"Hello! I picked some very good calamus. Would you like to buy them?"

There were several people behind the counter dispensing medicine for the patients. One of them was wearing brocade clothes and a jade crown on his head, and he didn't look like a medicine boy.

Hearing Lin Ting's words, he turned and looked at Lin Ting.

Wan Weiran has run a clinic here for three years, and this is the first person who comes to him to sell medicinal herbs.

Looking at the woman in front of him, her clothes were worn out and even the patches had turned white. She had a clean appearance and a pair of cold peach blossom eyes.

She carried a basket on her back, held her child in one hand, and took out a large piece of high-quality raw calamus with the other hand.

“Madam, this is a medical clinic and we have a supply of specific medicinal herbs. Calamus is not a rare herb, and yours is still raw.

If we collect it, we not only need to clean it, but also slice it and dry it before we can preserve it for use.

This is not cost-effective for our clinic. If you want to sell these herbs, you can find a merchant who buys them. We at Wanhetang only accept patients."

The young man was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. He was as gentle as jade and spoke softly, which made people feel comfortable listening to him.

"This gentleman looks like the owner of this clinic. Could you tell me where the medicinal herb dealer in Wenzhu County is?"

Lin Ting had followed his master in his previous life, and he knew that some medicinal herbs had to be purchased from merchants, but most of them had to be found by themselves in the mountains.

If others find it, I will sell it to them, but this method doesn’t work here.

"There are no medicinal herb merchants in Wenzhu County. The nearest one is in Minzhou."
