Listening to those intriguing cries.

Lin Shuyun twitched her lips and shook off the nonsense that had been swirling in her mind.

"I haven't finished the medicine I got earlier. I'll get more after I finish it," Lin Dahai said with some difficulty to the young pharmacist at the counter.

He had no money on him and couldn't afford the medicine.

Upon hearing this, Doctor Yang said, "Your previous medicine wasn't quite right for you, so it's best not to drink it anymore. Don't worry, the medicinal herbs that Madam Lin sold have already covered the cost of the medicine."

Master had instructed beforehand that Lin Niangzi could get medicine for free as long as it wasn't particularly expensive.

I guess he bought ginseng from someone at a low price and couldn't live with himself.

That person's character is the best of the best, priceless.

Lin Hongwen hurriedly spoke up, "Dad, this is Dr. Yang, the most famous doctor in town. Just listen to him. Don't you want to get better soon? You can pay my sister back when you're better."

Sure enough, after hearing his youngest son say that, Lin Dahai fell silent.

The young apprentice prescribed Lin Dahai a half-month's supply of medicine, and told him to come back for a check-up in half a month.

Tuberculosis is a chronic disease, and you won't see any results in a short period of time after taking the medicine.

Jiang Changtian's medicine was ready, and Lin Shuyun told her father to wait a while while she went to the backyard to find Jiang Changtian.

Upon entering the consultation room, one could see Yin Han washing silver needles with brown medicine, while Jiang Changtian, lying on the bed beside him, had a flushed face and was fastening his belt.

"What's wrong with you? You look like you've lost your virginity?"

Lin Shuyun got so excited that she blurted out what was on her mind.

Jiang Changtian's face burned like fire. He glared at Lin Shuyun with shame and indignation, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's just that the needles hurt too much."

Yin Han, with a complicated expression, remarked from the side, "Tsk, a grown man like you is afraid of needles, what a waste of such a big guy."

"Remember to come for acupuncture in three days."

After Lin Shuyun agreed, she picked up Jiang Changtian and carried him in her arms.

Seeing this, Yin Han couldn't help but laugh. "This little girl is quite strong. It's quite interesting."

Jiang Changtian leaned back on the donkey cart with a numb expression in everyone's eyes.

Lin Hongwen caught up and couldn't help but ask, "Sis, how come you're so strong now?"

"I'm not strong enough to carry your brother-in-law. I'm going to buy something. Wait for me."

Lin Shuyun left after saying that, and the three members of the Lin family felt bad because of what she said.

A short while later, he returned carrying two half-bags of rice and flour.

Then Lin Shuyun drove the donkey cart to take Lin Dahai and the others back first.

Upon reaching the door, Lin Shuyun unloaded the rice and flour.

Lin Hongzhi quickly stopped her, "Sis, what are you doing?"

"Tell Mother to return the rice we borrowed." Lin Shuyun patted Lin Hongwen's chest after saying that. "I know you like to study, so study hard."

Lin Dahai still wanted to force Lin Shuyun to take the rice and flour back, but Lin Shuyun had already anticipated his words.

He grabbed Lin Dahai's wrist and said, "Does Father prefer to owe others rather than me? Does he really treat me like an outsider?"

Taking this opportunity, she quietly treated Lin Dahai for a while.

Lin Dahai was speechless for a moment; what else was there to say?

Jiang Changtian said, "Father-in-law, we're going back now. We'll come see you again in a while."

Lin Shuyun let go of her hand and said to Madam Li, who came out, "Mother, we're leaving. If you need anything, have Xiao Hongwen come find me."

Madam Li nodded, watching her daughter drive away in the donkey cart with a reluctant gaze.

The family didn't go into the yard until they could no longer see anyone.

"Lin Hongwen, who told you to go and complain to Yunniang?" Lin Dahai closed the door and turned to kick Lin Hongwen.

"Dad, I was wrong." Lin Hongwen dodged away abruptly, patted his chest in fear, and then suddenly felt something.

He took it out and saw that it was two taels of silver.

"Mom, this must have been slipped into my arms by my sister when she was patting me!" Lin Hongwen was clever and immediately realized the answer.

Madam Li couldn't help but want to cry again, "This child, he can't even make ends meet himself, yet he's always thinking about us."

Lin Dahai sighed, "Take it. First, pay back the rice and money you owe. Eldest brother, you go back to work in town tomorrow. When you have money, pay Yunniang back."

Did he become a burden to his daughter?

Suddenly, Madam Li realized, "Honey, you don't seem to be coughing much right now. The doctor did a good job this time."

……

……

The sun was shining in the west.

Lin Shuyun had already driven the donkey cart back to the village.

Lin Shuyun met an old man on the road, whom she did not recognize.

The old man stared at the donkey cart for a while, and then suddenly shouted as Lin Shuyun passed by him.

"Changtian, is that Changtian lying inside?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Changtian sat up. "Uncle Village Chief, it's me."

He can't sit for long periods yet, so he's lying in the car.

When the village chief saw that it really was him and that the wounds on Jiang Changtian's face were no longer so frightening, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He had seen the child with his own eyes when he was brought back that day; his face was disfigured beyond recognition. Now, at least he's still recognizable.

"Where have you been?"

The village chief glanced again at Lin Shuyun, who was driving the cart.

Jiang Changtian explained, "The Lin family went into the mountains to dig up some medicinal herbs to sell, and then took me to town to get my leg checked."

"It seems the rumors in the village are true." The village chief muttered a reminder: "You should go back and check on your family; something has happened to them."

Upon hearing that something had happened at home, Lin Shuyun remembered that Meiqiu was still at home. Without asking about any rumors, she hurriedly sped up her journey to catch the carriage.

When I got to the door, I found that the vines wrapped around the wooden door were still intact, but there were marks on the wall next to it.

Lin Shuyun opened the door, went in, and called out, "Coal Ball!"

Upon hearing the sound, the coal ball immediately ran out and meowed.

"Meow~ You're finally back! A fierce old woman came and stole everything in the house, even my lunch!"

Jiang Changtian narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.

Seeing that the coal ball was alright, Lin Shuyun quickly went into the kitchen.

Sure enough, the rice, noodles, and the remaining vegetables were all gone, and even the broth she had poured into the wooden basin was completely gone.

Lin Shuyun had already guessed who it was. She came out and said to Jiang Changtian, "Our house has been robbed. I'll carry you back inside, and I'll go get our things."

Jiang Changtian grasped her hand that she was holding, "You'll suffer if you go alone, take me with you."

Lin Shuyun didn't hesitate and set off in a donkey cart.

This time, the coal ball also jumped into the donkey cart.

……

Jiang family.

"vomit!"

This was Jiang Shuixian's third time vomiting. Xu Shi, who was standing next to her, let out a foul-smelling fart and ran to the outhouse while dry heaving.

Wang Shi and Jiang Lao Er on the kang (heated brick bed) were not much better off; they were both vomiting and having diarrhea.

At this moment, only Jiang Laosan and Jiang Shoutian are still normal.

They went to the fields in the morning, and no one brought them lunch. They drank some water from the ditch, and when they came back, they saw that everyone else was vomiting and had diarrhea as if they had been poisoned.

Jiang Shuixian covered her nose, her face pale. "Father, please go and get us a doctor! It's so painful."

Jiang Shoutian looked at his daughter and asked, "What did you eat? Why are you like this?"

"It's all Mother's fault. She brought us the meat soup, and after we ate it..."

"boom!"

Before Jiang Shuixian could finish speaking, the door was kicked open.

"Hey, everyone's home?"
