Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming

Early the next morning, Li Tian and Chen Fu brought the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren back and went directly to Mr. Ma's clinic.

The two of them had spent the night at Zhang's house. The old lady's coughing and wheezing hadn't stopped, and the two of them hadn't slept well. So, before dawn, they persuaded the old man to take the old lady to see a doctor.

The family was very poor and all their savings were spent on their son and daughter-in-law's illnesses. When the old lady fell ill, she could only find some herbs she knew to prolong her life, but it was obviously of little effect.

The two old men, upon hearing that they were to be taken to see a doctor, did not want to be blamed for something they had done wrong and tried to refuse. Li Tian and Chen Fu persuaded them in every possible way, and after much persuasion, they finally agreed.

Mr. Ma was very pleased to see that the two had done a good job. After settling the two elders, he let them go back to their work. He was examining the old lady, and the more he examined her, the deeper his frown deepened, which made the old man waiting beside him very anxious.

"Mr. Ma, how is my old wife?"

Mr. Ma withdrew his hand and asked in a deep voice, "Did the old lady get hurt when she was young?"

Zhang Quanyou nodded. "Yes, to be honest, I rescued my wife from the roadside. When I first saw her, she was completely submerged in water and had a head injury. We found a doctor, but his medical skills were limited. He only said there was congestion in her brain and abdominal injuries, and he could only do his best. Later, her injuries gradually improved, and we thought she was fine."

Mr. Ma nodded in understanding and continued, "The old lady was seriously injured when she was young. Although she appears to be healed on the surface, she is actually ill on the inside. Does she cough every time she gets a cold, and is she suffering from the pent-up qi in her lungs?"

"Yes"

"The blood clot in her brain is fine now, but her lungs are very difficult to treat. She can't overwork or get cold. She needs to be well taken care of, otherwise even a god won't be able to save her."

Zhang Quanyou heard this and said anxiously, "Sir, please save my wife. Please use whatever herbs you need. Don't worry about the money. I have a jade pendant passed down from my ancestors. Please do your best to save her."

As he spoke, he pulled out the jade pendant from his bosom and handed it to him. This was why he finally decided to come with the doctor. He had lost two of his loved ones in a row, and if he lost his wife as well, he really didn't know how he would survive.

Originally, he wanted to leave this to his grandson, but after thinking about it, he realized what was the point of keeping it now that his family had dispersed.

Mr. Ma took one look at the jade pendant and saw the piercing wound. He pushed the thing back and said, "Sir, there is no need to do this. I will treat this, old lady. You can take it back."

Zhang Quanyou refused to accept the treatment and said firmly, "If you don't want to accept the treatment, then we won't treat you. This means that this is our fate."

Mr. Ma didn't expect that this man would be so stubborn in his temper. No matter how he was persuaded, he would not listen and was determined to exchange the goods for medical treatment.

Finally, Mr. Ma gave in: "Sir, I will accept this jade pendant and keep it for you for the time being. I will also do my best to treat your madam's illness."

Seeing him accept the gift, Zhang Quanyou breathed a sigh of relief and bowed solemnly to Mr. Ma: "Thank you very much for your kindness, sir."

Mr. Ma gave her a firm hand and said, "Madam, your illness is serious and requires long-term care. It's not easy for you to travel long distances. My clinic has a ward specifically for patients to recuperate. If you don't mind, you can stay here temporarily. It will be convenient for both you and me."

This time Zhang Quanyou did not refuse and agreed immediately.

Mr. Ma wrote a prescription and prepared the medicine himself, and explained in detail to Zhang Quanyou how to decoct the medicine. Now there are only him and Qingzhu in the clinic, and Qingzhu has to go to school half a day every day, so they have to do it themselves.

After making arrangements for the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, Mr. Ma went to look for Grandpa Yu with the jade pendant in his pocket.

Old man Yu has recently developed a new hobby. He happily follows the villagers to the mountains to look for wild game, and is as happy as a child. Sure enough, when Mr. Ma asked, he found out that he was still in the mountains and had to wait until lunch.

"Godfather, aren't you tired? You've been running all morning, and I've never seen any old man as lively as you." The other people were busy with serious work, and only Yu Shiwushi followed the old man every day.

Old Master Yu glanced at him sideways and said, "Humph, you're neither good at literature nor martial arts, and you're not good at martial arts, and your cooking skills are not as good as those of a lazy eater. How can I ask you to go into the mountains with me to hunt for some game? I'm wronged by asking you to do that?"

"How am I lazy? Don't I often help with the work? If you didn't go to the mountains every day and my brothers were worried and insisted that I come with you, I wouldn't come." Yu Shi replied unconvinced.

"Who wants you to watch me? I'd be happy if you weren't here."

"Yes, you are relieved. I am carrying all these things on my back! My adoptive father has been out for quite some time now. Most of the villagers have gone back. Should we go back too? The sun is very hot here. If you want to play, you can come back tomorrow morning. Don't tire yourself out." Although Yu Shi disliked his adoptive father, he was genuinely concerned about him.

Old Man Yu was also feeling very sticky at this time. Seeing that Yu Shi's backpack was full, he did not insist and turned around to go back.

The two of them first returned to Chen's house and put down the wild fruits and other things they picked today before leaving.

Mr. Ma waited until he finished washing up before coming over to him and asking, "Look at this, what is this?"

He handed Zhang Quanyou's jade pendant to him and asked him to look at it.

"This belongs to the Zhang family in Jinling. Where did you get it?" Old Master Yu took the jade pendant, looked at it carefully, and asked in confusion.

Mr. Ma said, "This was given to me today by Zhang Quanyou. It's for his wife's medical treatment."

Old Master Yu stroked the jade pendant repeatedly for a while before saying, "I was thinking he was well-spoken and knowledgeable. Although something happened at home, I never thought he was from the Zhang family in Jinling."

"Yes, I saw it when he took out the jade pendant for me."

"I think he has guessed some of our origins. This thing is just a dead object to him now, but if I give it to you, I can also help his grandson gain a future."

"Well, no matter who he is, if I meet a patient, I will definitely do my best to treat him. He took this thing out, partly because he didn't want to owe anyone a debt, and partly because he wanted to take a gamble for the child."

"Yes, the Jinling Zhang family was once so prosperous. His father, a first-rank official, was wrongfully killed, and the entire family collapsed overnight. Although the new emperor avenged the Zhang family's injustice, few members of the Zhang family are still alive."

Talking about this matter, the two of them couldn't help but sigh. The previous emperor was so cruel that so many good ministers were unjustly killed, but it was not something they could say much about.

"If you're so frank, then keep it. If the child is intelligent, send him to school and let Yu Wu give him some guidance."

"He's quite knowledgeable. Why not let him stay and continue teaching? That way, the three of them, the grandfather and the grandson, will have a way out."

Old Master Yu smiled and said, "As expected of my brother Pingchuan, you're so thoughtful. That being the case, I'm sorry to bother you. Qing Ning and the others will be finishing school soon, so I'll go to Chen's house and wait for them."

Mr. Ma's face darkened when he heard this, and then he shook his head helplessly. This guy is really going backwards. Just because Qing Ning mentioned making some ice jelly today yesterday, this guy really can't wait a moment.

Mr. Ma followed him and turned to Zhang Quanyou to make arrangements and explain the plan. Zhang Quanyou naturally agreed with gratitude.
