Reborn in 1965, I can obtain resources just by sweeping the floor.

Leaving his bicycle aside, Su Chen squeezed into the crowd.

In front of the clinic, there were four men and two women. In front of them was a flatbed cart, on which lay an elderly woman in her sixties.

On the other side of the flatbed cart, Bai Peiyao and Feng Lan tightly protected two twelve or thirteen-year-old girls. The little girls had a purplish-red handprint on their faces and tears welled up in their eyes.

"Sister Yaoyao, Sister Xiaolan, what happened?"

“Brother, you’re back. You’re back just in time. Didn’t you treat someone in Dawangzhuang a few days ago? Well, her family came looking for her, saying that she became like this because of your medicine. They want you to pay compensation and be responsible for all of the old lady’s future expenses.”

“They came yesterday, but you weren’t home. They came again this morning, saying you were scared and that’s why you were hiding. They insisted on searching your yard, but the villagers stopped them.”

Upon seeing Su Chen arrive, Feng Lan quickly gave a brief introduction. Standing before her were the old lady's four sons and her two daughters-in-law.

"What!"

Su Chen was stunned for a moment. He had never encountered such a strange person before.

"Dr. Su, I'm so sorry, we've caused you trouble. I'm so sorry, it's not like that..."

The two girls, who were being protected by Bai Peiyao, lowered their heads in embarrassment when they saw Su Chen.

"Oh, it's the two of you. I remember now."

It was only then that Su Chen remembered that just a while ago, these two girls came to the clinic, knelt down and kowtowed without saying a word, begging Su Chen to save their grandmother. After careful questioning, he learned that the two girls were from Dawangzhuang next door.

Dawangzhuang is about 15 or 16 miles away from Kaoshantun. The two thin little girls walked over step by step. The older girl was called Lin Daya and the younger girl was called Lin Erya. They were twins.

Lin Daya's father starved to death during a famine a few years ago, and her mother remarried and moved away. The two girls lived with their grandmother. A few days ago, their grandmother fell ill, but none of their uncles took care of her. They heard from the villagers that there was a miracle doctor in Kaoshantun, so they discussed it and came to Kaoshantun to find Su Chen.

Su Chen felt sorry for the two girls and thought it was not easy for them to be so filial at such a young age, so he did not refuse and rode his bicycle to Dawangzhuang.

Their grandmother didn't actually have a serious illness, just a common cold. The main problem was that she was old and her bodily functions were severely declining. Even if she recovered from the cold, she wouldn't live for more than a few months. She left them some medicine, so Su Chen didn't think much of it and went back home.

To Ling Su Chen's surprise, after so many days, the old lady's sons actually came to his door, and with such a bizarre excuse.

"Dr. Su, don't be afraid of them. I've never seen such shameless people. If the village chief hadn't told us not to make a move, we would have chased them away long ago."

"It's Dr. Su. Who are they? Village Chief Yang has already gone to Dawang Village to find their village chief."

Seeing that the people of Kaoshantun were all eager to get started, the man in his thirties standing at the front patted the flatbed cart.

“Don’t bully us just because you have more people. I’m telling you, we’re not afraid. You must be Dr. Su. We had already found a doctor in the county and planned to take my mother to the county hospital the next day. Who knew that she would end up like this after taking your medicine? It’s all your fault.”

"Yes, brother is right, you have to take full responsibility."

"I've seen shameless people before, but I've never seen anyone this shameless," Su Chen sneered as he looked at the four of them.

"Heh! So you're saying your mother became like this after taking my medicine? Then let me ask you, why did it take so many days to come to me? If it weren't for the two little girls begging me, I wouldn't have gone. Now what exactly do you want?"

Su Chen was curious to hear what they could ask for.

"Dr. Su, no,...that's not how it is..."

"Shut up, you two brats! If you dare to spout any more nonsense, I'll slap your faces to pieces. You two good-for-nothings, behave yourselves."

"Those two are just busybodies who are a waste of money. Their father is dead, so they have no say in this family. We don't have any other demands, but you have to be responsible for the old lady's medical care, food, and drink, and give her one yuan every month..."

"Enough, you shameless bastards, you've brought shame to the country. Come back with me now."

Just as the Lin brothers were making all sorts of bizarre requests, an angry voice came from outside the crowd.

An elderly man in his fifties walked in from the back of the crowd, with Yang Dazhuang, the village chief of Kaoshantun, beside him.

"Village chief, we're not leaving. This time, we're determined to get justice for my mother."

"You...you are all bastards. How could your mother have raised such an ungrateful bunch?"

Wang Dana, the village chief of Dawangzhuang, was so angry that he trembled all over and pointed at the four brothers.

“Village chief, you can’t take the side of outsiders. Isn’t it obvious what’s going on? My mother became like this because she took his medicine. He doesn’t want to take responsibility, so that’s unacceptable.”

“Grandpa Village Chief wasn’t like that. That day, after Grandma took her medicine, she…”

"You good-for-nothing, still talking nonsense. If it weren't for the two of you, would your grandma be in this state? Your grandma has spoiled you for nothing. I'll beat you to death today."

Lin Lao Er's wife rushed over and raised her hand to hit Lin Daya.

Thud! Thump!

Before Lin Lao Er's wife could even touch Lin Daya's face, she was slapped across the face first. Then Su Chen kicked her in the thigh, and Lin Lao Er's wife stumbled back a few steps and fell to the ground.

"Oh no! Someone's been killed! You people from Kaoshantun are bullying people! You mistreat someone and then beat them up..."

"You little brat, how dare you hit my wife! I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget..."

When Lin Lao Er saw his wife being beaten, he immediately rushed over, but before he could get close, Su Chen kicked him away, sending him flying not far from his wife.

The three Lin brothers, Lin Laosan, Lin Laosi, and Lin Laowu, who were originally about to step forward, immediately stopped in their tracks. This doctor was too amazing!

"Don't be afraid, Da Ya. Just say what you wanted to say. They won't dare to hit you anymore."

Seeing that the Lin brothers were backing down, Feng Lan took Lin Daya's hand and gave her an encouraging look.

"Grandpa Village Chief, Dr. Su, Grandma got better after taking your medicine that day."

"A couple of days ago, my second uncle and his family came to our house and said they wanted to give my sister and me away to exchange for wives with my fourth and fifth uncles. My grandmother disagreed, so they argued with her, and then she fainted..."

"What nonsense are you spouting, you worthless brat? Who wanted to give you away? We just found you a good family so you could be happy. It breaks our hearts to see the kind of life you've been living with your grandmother. Look how much your fourth and fifth uncles doted on you when you were little. It's because they had to raise you that they can't even find wives now..."

At this moment, Su Chen finally understood that in this era, exchanging wives was a very normal thing. If a family was too poor to find a wife, and his family had both boys and girls, they could exchange wives so that neither family could find a wife and the boys in their family would remain single.

Although it was somewhat unfair to girls, in that era of male chauvinism, almost no one cared about girls' feelings.

The main problem is that Lin Daya and Lin Erya are only twelve or thirteen years old. How can someone so young become a wife?

"You're lying. I heard Grandma say that the person you're talking about is a 30-something-year-old idiot."

"Cough! Cough! Cough!"

Just then, the old woman on the flatbed truck coughed violently and slowly opened her eyes.

"Grandma, you're awake! That's wonderful!"

Seeing their grandmother wake up, Daya and Erya happily rushed to her side.

"Da Ya and Er Ya, my poor granddaughters, I heard what you said just now. Dr. Su, I'm so sorry, this old woman doesn't know how to raise children, I've made you laugh at me... cough cough cough..."

"Dr. Su, please take a look at my grandma..."

Su Chen reached out and took the old lady's pulse.

"Dr. Su, I know I'm not going to make it, but I'm so worried about Daya and Erya. I know you're a good person, and I shouldn't be troubling you, but you saw the state those beasts were in. If I'm gone, Daya and Erya won't survive. This old woman is begging you, please, please take them in. Just make sure they don't starve... cough cough cough..."
