Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

She spoke with difficulty: "You, I have never seen you torment people like this, shopkeeper, you have to compensate me for making me so uncomfortable!"

The shopkeeper quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, she's still young and didn't take it seriously. Please don't argue with her. I'll compensate you for the medicine right away!"

Seeing him take out the silver, Lin Yiwan said slowly, "No need to compensate her. I've already found the cause of her illness. The reason her throat is swollen and sore is because there's a blood-sucking leech in it!"

"Ah?" Not only the shopkeeper was stunned, but even the mother-in-law was frightened.

She pleaded in fear, "Boss, please save me! You can't let this thing stay in my throat!"

The shopkeeper frowned and looked at Lin Yiwan: "Are you sure you saw it clearly?"

Lin Yiwan nodded and pressed the wooden board under her mother-in-law's tongue again: "If you don't believe it, just see for yourself!"

The shopkeeper looked carefully and saw a black thing constantly moving back and forth like a cricket pupa.

His stomach tightened and he quickly ran into the yard.

When he came back, his steps were a little weak.

His face turned pale as he said, "This is troublesome! It really is a blood-sucking leech. How did you manage to drink this thing?"

The mother-in-law argued innocently: "I didn't mean to. When I was drinking, I took a special look and didn't find anything wrong at all!"

Lin Yiwan explained: "Blood-sucking leeches can shrink. When they're tiny, they might slip between your fingers and you wouldn't even notice them. But once they get into your throat, they'll start to grow bigger!"

My mother-in-law's scalp went numb when she heard this. She never thought that she would provoke such a disaster just by drinking water in the wild.

The shopkeeper said worriedly, "Don't talk about this for now. We have to find a way to get it out for her quickly. If this goes on, she will die sooner or later!"

Lin Yiwan nodded: "Well, go get me some salt, crush it, and pour it down her throat!"

The shopkeeper was stunned. Salt?

What's the use of this?

He couldn't help but question, "Can you remove it? I've lived for a long time, but I've never heard of using salt to remove leeches!"

Lin Yiwan spread her hands: "Then it's your turn?"

An awkward look flashed across the shopkeeper's face. He said nothing more and went to the kitchen to get some salt.

Lin Yiwan crushed the salt and asked her mother-in-law to eat it. Her face turned pale from the pain, and her eyes widened when the salt dissolved in her mouth.

She said in pain: "Oh, this is really choking me to death!"

Lin Yiwan advised, "Mother-in-law, think about it yourself. Is it better to eat some salt and suffer to get the leech out? Or let that thing stay in your throat until you suffocate to death?"

The mother-in-law was so scared that she broke out in cold sweats. She wanted to live.

She didn't hesitate any longer and quickly ate more salt.

After a while, Lin Yiwan asked her to rinse her mouth with warm water. She pressed the wooden board to the bottom of her tongue and saw that the blood-sucking leech had shrunk a little.

She quickly took out a silver needle and effortlessly poked the little thing out.

When my mother-in-law saw the blood-sucking leech appear in front of her, she was very surprised.

She grabbed Lin Yiwan's wrist and praised: "Miss, you are really a living Bodhisattva. You saved my life. I am very grateful to you!"

After saying that, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Lin Yiwan couldn't stand this. She quickly stopped him, "Mother-in-law, stop it. I was able to remove the leech successfully thanks to the fine salt the shopkeeper sent me. If you continue to drink the medicine he prescribed for a few days, your throat will be completely healed. Also, remember not to drink raw water from the mountain stream, so as not to get sick from your mouth!"

The mother-in-law nodded quickly: "I've made a note of it. Thank you for the reminder, young lady!"

After the shopkeeper ordered the servant to send the mother-in-law away, he looked at Lin Yiwan with admiration: "You really are quite capable, but I don't understand why you had to pour fine salt down your throat to remove the leech."

Lin Yiwan didn't hide it, she explained generously: "Because the fine salt can stimulate the leech, making it subconsciously curl up into a ball, so that the tentacles that pierce the skin will also retract!"

The shopkeeper suddenly realized what was going on. He had been worried that if the tentacles broke off and got stuck inside the skin, it would be even more troublesome.

But I didn't expect that fine salt would have such a wonderful use.

He quickly took a pen and paper to write it down and kept it carefully.

After he finished his work, he looked at Lin Yiwan solemnly and said, "Although you have some abilities, I still want to remind you that the madwoman in the City Lord's Mansion has a serious illness!"

Lin Yiwan asked in surprise, "How is it so unusual?"

The shopkeeper brought her into the study and said in a low voice, "It is said that the mad woman has gone through a great change. She doesn't like others to touch her. If anyone gets close to her, she will reach out and strangle herself. She is very strong and will not let go until her face turns purple and she passes out!"

Lin Yiwan felt her throat tighten, and a surge of sadness and anger suddenly rushed to the top of her head.

She didn't know if this was the feeling of a mother-daughter bond, she only knew that she was eager to see that woman.

She had read in the medical book her grandfather had given her that people became demented and insane because they suffered a huge mental blow.

That blow was something she could not bear and was unwilling to face.

If you want to cure her, you have to tear open the bloody wound and let her face reality.

She took a deep breath and said, "Boss, I still say the same thing. Take me to treat her. If I can cure her, the credit will be yours. If I can't, there will be no loss to you at all!"

The shopkeeper pondered for a long time, somewhat undecided.

He spoke tentatively: "Miss, can you tell me your identity frankly? You also know that Ye Tianqing is cunning, suspicious and ruthless. I am just the owner of a pharmacy and I am afraid of being implicated!"

Lin Yiwan frowned. She would never reveal her true identity to anyone.

She said impatiently: "Since the shopkeeper doesn't believe me, then I won't force it. After all, yours is not the only pharmacy in Lingnan City. I believe there are other shopkeepers willing to take over this huge fortune!"

The shopkeeper never expected that she would leave without saying anything, and immediately hurriedly tried to stop her: "No, it's not that I don't trust you, I just want to understand more clearly. Since you have something to hide, I won't force you. How about this, I will say that you are my distant niece and you just came here for refuge?"

Lin Yiwan bowed and said, "Thank you, boss!"

The shopkeeper pressed the issue, "You must have a name, right? Otherwise, if City Lord Ye asks, I won't even know my niece's name. How embarrassing would that be?"

Lin Yiwan uttered two words lightly: "Mu Yi!"

The shopkeeper nodded and went to the City Lord's Mansion to deliver the invitation in person.

At dusk, Lin Yiwan followed the shopkeeper to the City Lord's Mansion. She raised her eyes and looked in the direction of the Fang family army camp, thinking that Zhan Yan should have come down from the City Lord's Mansion?
