A smug smile appeared on Chen Biao's face. He quietly leaned close to Qian Lifeng's ear and whispered a name.

Upon hearing this, Qian Lifeng's face instantly turned ashen, his eyes filled with disbelief. "It's actually her? This... how is this possible?"

Wang Ermazi scoffed disdainfully, "Why is it impossible? We witnessed her kill someone with our own eyes, how could it be fake?"

"As long as you follow our plan, the reward will be yours for the taking."

Despite his many doubts, Qian Lifeng was preoccupied with the tempting reward and had no time to think about anything else.

Moreover, Lin Shu and he already had a deep-seated hatred for each other, and bringing her to justice would also allow him to vent his anger.

As news of Lin Shu's medical expertise spread throughout the village, the villagers looked at her with a newfound respect.

Before this, they had always regarded Lin Shu as a lazy and wicked woman.

Unexpectedly, she not only started a business, but also became proficient in medicine.

This is undoubtedly a huge boon for the villagers.

You know, which of those mediocre doctors with even a little medical knowledge doesn't yearn for a wider world? Who would want to stay in this isolated little village?

Many villagers were eager to see Lin Shu for treatment, but the thought of their relationship with her made them hesitate.

For example, Li's wife and husband had been married for many years, but she had never been able to conceive.

Over the years, they have spent almost all the money they have earned through hard work on medical treatment in town.

However, the clinics in town charged exorbitant fees, which they simply could not afford.

Just one dose of medicine exhausted their savings of half a year, leaving the two of them with no choice but to endure the pain.

Hearing that Lin Shu's medical skills were superb, even surpassing those of the town's doctors, they began to have designs on him.

However, they did not have a good relationship with Lin Shu on a regular basis, and were hesitant about how to bring it up.

Fortunately, Aunt Li was a smart woman. Seeing her daughter-in-law's extreme anxiety, she suggested, "Daughter-in-law, why don't you go and find your Aunt Qi?"

"She has a close relationship with the Lu family's daughter-in-law. Perhaps out of respect for your Aunt Qi, the Lu family's daughter-in-law will be willing to help you take a look."

Upon hearing this, Li's daughter-in-law's eyes lit up immediately, and she nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"Oh dear, I'm so forgetful. How could I have overlooked such an important thing? Aunt Qi and Lin Shu are such good friends. I'll go and ask her to put in a good word for me."

She no longer cares about saving face for her child.

Before she finished speaking, Li's wife got to work. She quickly tidied herself up, picked up a basket of fresh vegetables she had grown herself, and hurried to Aunt Qi's house.

Throughout the journey, her emotions fluctuated like a rollercoaster. She was both hopeful that Lin Shu might agree to help her get medical treatment and afraid that she would be rejected, leaving her feeling anxious and uncertain.

Upon arriving at Aunt Qi's house, Li's daughter-in-law explained the purpose of their visit to Aunt Qi.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Qi frowned slightly, feeling somewhat troubled.

Although she had a good relationship with Lin Shu, it was hard to say whether Lin Shu would be willing to help her with this favor.

But looking into the expectant eyes of Li's daughter-in-law, Aunt Qi couldn't bear it and decided to give it her all.

"How about this, I'll go with you to ask Lin Shu, but I can't guarantee it will work."

Upon hearing this, Li's daughter-in-law nodded vigorously, "Aunt Qi, I am already extremely grateful as long as you are willing to help."

Aunt Qi led the Li family's daughter-in-law toward the Lu family's courtyard.

The two arrived at the entrance of the Lu family's courtyard. Aunt Qi peeked into the yard and asked, "Is Lu's daughter-in-law home?"

Hearing Aunt Qi's voice, Lin Shu, who was inside the house, quickly put down his work and got up to greet her at the door.

Upon seeing Aunt Qi, she greeted her with a warm smile, "Aunt Qi, what brings you here?"

When Aunt Qi saw Lin Shu, she looked troubled and said, "Lu family daughter-in-law, Aunt Qi has something she would like to ask you for help with."

Aunt Qi told Lin Shu about Li's daughter-in-law's situation in detail.

"The couple has been married for many years but has no children. They are both honest people, and they have spent all their savings on medical treatment over the years."

"The clinics in town are too expensive, so they had no other choice but to come to me. That's why I shamelessly brought her here to see you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shu was immediately displeased. "Aunt Qi, what are you saying? Your business is my business."

"If it weren't for your help yesterday, I don't know how badly I would have been bullied."

“Those are minor matters,” Aunt Qi quickly waved her hand.

“These are not trivial matters to me,” Lin Shu said firmly, then turned to look at Li’s wife behind him.

When Li's wife saw Lin Shu looking at her, she became so nervous that she didn't know what to do.

“Sister, I know my coming here is very abrupt, but I really have no other choice. Please help me see how much silver it costs, and I will pay whatever it takes.”

Looking at Sister-in-law Li's anxious expression, Lin Shu smiled knowingly.

“Sister Li, we are neighbors from the same village, it is only right that we help each other, why should we talk about money?”

"I will do my best to help as long as it is within my power, especially since Aunt Qi brought her here."

Upon hearing this, a warm feeling welled up in both of their hearts.

Lin Shu welcomed the two into the courtyard. The courtyard was clean and tidy, and several pots of blooming wildflowers added a touch of life to the small courtyard.

Sunlight filters through the leaves, casting a warm glow on the bluestone slabs.

"Come in and sit down, let me pour you some water first."

As Lin Shu spoke, he entered the bridal chamber, took out several clean bowls and cups, poured in cool boiled water, and handed them to the two men.

Li's wife took the water and looked at Lin Shu gratefully. "Sister Lin, you are such a kind person. My husband and I really don't know how to thank you enough."

"Don't say that. Everyone has their difficulties. We should help each other out if we can," Lin Shu replied with a smile, quickly putting away the things he had been working on.

Seeing this, Aunt Qi also reassured her, "Yes, Li family's daughter-in-law, don't worry, Lu family's daughter-in-law is a very good person."

Upon hearing this, Li's daughter-in-law finally felt relieved, and a long-lost smile appeared on her face.

After Lin Shu finished getting ready, washed his hands and came out of the burial room, he then gestured for Li's wife to extend her wrist so he could take her pulse.

After a moment, Lin Shu frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed.

"Sister, is your period regular? How many days does it last each time?" Lin Shu asked softly.

Upon hearing this, Sister-in-law Li blushed slightly and said shyly, "It's not very regular. Sometimes it comes early, sometimes it comes late, and each time it only lasts two or three days."

After hearing this, Lin Shu understood. He then got up and led Sister-in-law Li into his room, where he conducted a simple physical examination on her.

Back in the courtyard, Lin Shu took the opportunity to take out a small medicine box from his spatial storage.

"Sister Li, it's fortunate that your illness was discovered early and it's not too serious. I'll prescribe some medicine for you. Please be sure to take it on time after you get home. In addition, you should pay attention to getting plenty of rest and recuperating for a period of time."
