In the years of famine, the knife in my mother's hand is not bad either

The doctor responded to Lin Ze's question.

Confused.

He just looked at the woman in the carriage and saw that she had had eye disease for at least dozens of days. How could she be said to not have it?

Could it be that I saw it wrong?

Or is it that the woman is deliberately concealing it?

Thinking of the latter, the doctor lowered his head for a moment and dared not speak anymore.

Seeing this, Shen Qian said softly:

"Isn't this eye disease a recent one?"

The doctor listened to Shen Qian's question and did not dare to hide anything. He nodded immediately and stated his own judgment:

"It should be at least a month."

"The condition inside the eye is quite serious and I'm afraid there is no chance of recovery."

"If she can still see the road clearly these days... perhaps I am not a good doctor and have made a misjudgment."

Having said this, he looked intentionally or unintentionally at Lin Ze who was kneeling beside him.

Lin Ze's eyes widened when he heard the doctor's shocking words.

The sky is falling!

At least a month.

If we go back in time, wouldn't it be the time when I and my mother would snatch the last remaining food from her and abandon her?

Thinking of this, Lin Ze supported himself on the ground with his hands in disbelief, his breathing becoming more rapid.

Mrs. Lin was furious:

"Don't make random accusations if you don't have good medical skills."

"How could the eye disease have lasted for at least a month?"

"She...she must have just developed this eye disease. Otherwise, how could our family have lived with her for so long without noticing it?"

After she finished speaking, she actually felt a little weak.

During this period, Wang Miaomiao was nominally married to her third son Lin Ze.

But in fact.

Firstly, Wang Miaomiao and her son are not actually married. Secondly, she did not stay at her home, but always stayed at the home of the village chief Wang Dakuo.

That's why she felt guilty when she said such words.

A villager from Wangjia Village nearby asked in confusion:

"Mrs. Lin, does Wang Miaomiao talk to your family for more than three sentences every day? Isn't she always with Uncle Dakuo's family?"

"You eat and drink at the village chief's house, and I've never seen Wang Miaomiao take the initiative to go to your house to look for you guys, right?"

"I think I saw Miaomiao go to the bathroom before, and she kept bumping into things when she came back. I was wondering, it turns out there's something wrong with her eyes."

"..."

There is evidence provided by the villagers of Wangjia Village.

Old Mrs. Lin was speechless.

If this disease is really caused by her Lin family, then her sin is even more serious.

And it was she who decided to let her son marry a woman with eye problems.

Thinking of this, Old Lady Lin looked at Lin Ze with deep guilt in her eyes.

If Wang Miaomiao really reached the southern border alive, their family would be ruined.

If you have to make a living with a blind person, I'm afraid the whole family will have to take care of her.

"Since I've married into your family, it's your family's responsibility to treat the people of my Wangjia Village well." Shen Qian said coldly, reminding Old Lady Lin.

Seeing this, Old Mrs. Lin nodded repeatedly.

Then Shen Qian continued:

"If a woman from my Wang Village dies in your house, then your family should remember this kindness. Lin Ze, the third son of the Lin family, will never marry."

"What!" Old Mrs. Lin was originally very humble, but when she heard that her beloved third son would never marry, she immediately became angry and her voice rose eight octaves.

"If your Lin family hadn't been protected by Wangjia Village, you would have been torn to pieces and eaten clean by the refugees on the road, right?" Shen Qian glanced at the furious Old Lady Lin and spoke calmly, secretly despising her in her heart.

Not profound at all.

When something happens, I raise my voice.

I really don’t know how I could have argued with such a stupid person in Wangjia Village.

"But..." Old Mrs. Lin wanted to say something.

Shen Qian reminded her:

"Don't forget the contract you signed with Village Chief Wang Dakuo."

"Wangjia Village will really sue you in the southern border."

"And I, as Earl and Overseer, will supervise the implementation of the regulations by local officials."

"It's just to protect the interests of the villagers in Wangjia Village."

As Shen Qian spoke, she bit herself to death to speak up for the villagers of Wangjia Village.

At the same time, he prevented Old Lady Lin from blackmailing him.

He also gained the favor of a group of villagers in Wangjia Village.

How could a person who wholeheartedly cares about the villagers of Wangjia Village not be loved?

So they all pointed their spearheads outward, targeting Old Lady Lin, with sharp words:

"Mrs. Lin, don't think we don't know what you're planning. Didn't you marry Miaomiao for the protection of Wangjia Village? We protected you, and you still want Miaomiao to die before reaching the southern border so that Sanlang Lin can marry again?"

"Forget about that plan. Your Lin family has to settle down with us. We will supervise your Lin family then."

"If Miaomiao really can't make it, with that contract in place, Lin Ze can forget about remarrying. I, Jia Zhang, have said so!"

"..."

Old Mrs. Lin saw that everyone was pointing their criticism at her.

I also know the seriousness of the matter.

The locals lowered their heads and said nothing.

Soon, the eunuch Zhang Zhengde who was sent to collect charcoal returned with his team.

Shen Qian looked at the pile of coal and praised Zhang Zhengde:

"Well done."

"Let's arrange for everyone to set up a tent nearby."

"There's a forest here to protect us, so it's easier to set up a temporary camp."

When Zhang Zhengde heard Shen Qian say that it was a temporary base, not a place to rest for one night, his eyes showed deep shock.

"Yes!" Zhang Zhengde agreed and immediately went to make arrangements.

Thousands of people act at the same time, and their mobility is very high.

Large areas of forest were cut down.

If this happened in modern times, everyone would be arrested.

But this was ancient times, and the thing that was least in short supply was forests.

......

The scout who went out to look for the doctor returned with Shen Qian's token.

Behind his horse was an old man with a brocade bag on his back and his body covered with white snowflakes.

The scout dismounted and replied respectfully:

"My Lord, the doctor is here."

"I also brought medicine for fever."

As he spoke, he helped the doctor who was sitting at the back of the horse down.

Then the doctor was seen with his legs spread out and trembling as he walked.

It was obvious that he was a little numb from the bumpy ride.

"My old body can't stand this kind of torture." The doctor said, walked towards Shen Qian and bowed respectfully.

The Inspector General of the Supervisory Department is a third-rank official.

He didn't dare to neglect.

The fact that they were able to force the county city gate open after it was closed and bring the patient out shows how high the patient's status was in the other party's eyes.

He can't afford to be careless.

But when he saw Wang Miaomiao, countless doubts arose in his heart:

Isn't it a fever?

Why has it become so out of shape?

And...I have an eye disease, which seems to have lasted for more than a month.

There are so many counties along the way, don’t you go see a doctor?

Thinking of this, he shook his head and sighed:

"This eye disease cannot be cured."

"Even if we can calculate what we can see later, it's absolutely impossible to see clearly what's one meter away."

Shen Qian listened to the doctor's diagnosis and looked at the doctor beside her.

Seeing this, the doctor nodded repeatedly:

"It's the same diagnosis as mine."

"That's true."

After getting the confirmation, Shen Qian looked at Old Lady Lin:

"Based on the time, it's your Lin family who's to blame. If it weren't for your Lin family, my Wang family wouldn't have to endure this kind of punishment. We couldn't see clearly for over a month, and you haven't even noticed yet."

"You really don't treat my daughter from Wangjia Village as a human being."

As she spoke, cold sweat broke out on Old Lady Lin's forehead.

This is like roasting her on the fire.

As expected, when the people in Wangjia Village looked at her, there was unfriendly look in their eyes.

On the way to escape, he took advantage of Wangjia Village and was sheltered by Wangjia Village. He actively sought refuge from Wangjia Village and treated the daughter of Wangjia Village, who had already been hurt by them, like this. Even a clay man has a temper.

What’s more, he is a member of the Wang family?

"Listen...let me explain."

"I have neglected Miaomiao, but don't worry, my family will definitely do its best to take care of Miaomiao for the rest of her life!"

"I, Old Lady Lin, guarantee it with my life!" As Old Lady Lin spoke, she couldn't help but raise her hands to block.

However, it was discovered that the Wang family members from Wangjia Village stopped after taking two steps closer.

The imagined blow did not occur.

"Remember what you said today." Wang Dakuo walked out from the crowd.

A pair of eyes stared at Old Lady Lin.

All the Wang family members around him were stopped by him.

"I discovered it since Miaomiao came back."

"There's something wrong with her eyes, but Miaomiao doesn't want me to tell anyone. She doesn't want people to look at her in a weird way."

"Lin Ze, you married Wang Miaomiao."

"It's not just about taking responsibility, it's more about atonement."

"Atonement!" Wang Dakuo repeated these two words again, his eyes fixed on Lin Ze.

Lin Ze shed two lines of tears silently.

Nodding in response:

"Ming...understand."

The doctor discussed with the physician and came up with a prescription. They would first boil the medicine to treat Wang Miaomiao's fever, and the remaining symptoms would be treated by returning to the clinic tomorrow daytime to get the herbs.

Only then did Shen Qian turn her attention back to her two good sons: Wang You and Wang Liang.

Wang You and Wang Liang felt their mother's gaze and were immediately frightened and shuddered.

What is coming...is finally here!
