I was sold when I opened my eyes! My sick and disabled husband comforts me every night after he wake

Seeing Mao Mao's stubborn gaze, Lan Zhi smiled knowingly.

When she appeared before Mo Ning with four taels of silver in her hand, Mo Ning's face also showed a look of surprise.

"Mao Mao, you're better than Uncle Mo Ning; you know how to earn money to support your family."

Lan Zhi's lips curved into a perfect smile, and she nodded in agreement.

"Yes, this is our first income. I've been thinking about going to the city tomorrow to buy some meat to make dumplings for you, and then buying Mao Mao a couple of changes of clothes."

Mo Ning immediately nodded in agreement, while Mao Mao scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

Looking at this first income, Lan Zhi seemed to see hope for life.

……

Today marks exactly two months since Aunt Mo left home, but she hasn't returned.

Sitting in the courtyard, Mo Ning nervously fidgeted with his fingers.

He longed to see his mother return, to show her his hands, which he could move freely, and to let her know that one day he would be able to stand up again.

But to his disappointment, he waited from morning till night, but nothing came of it.

When the food was served, Mao Mao pushed the rice towards him and said happily:

"Brother Mo Ning, the meat stewed by my sister smells so good, you should try it."

Mo Ning looked at the plate of stewed meat in front of her and suddenly her eyes welled up with tears.

Mao Mao pouted, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"Brother Mo Ning, how long has it been since you've eaten meat? Are you moved to tears?"

Hearing what Mao Mao said, he suddenly laughed.

He shook his head and smiled bitterly.

“Last month, your sister Lan Zhi made meat for me. I was just thinking about some things.”

Mao Mao sighed softly.

"I miss my mother too. I can eat meat, but I don't know if she can. I wonder where she is now."

Two people in similar circumstances were reminded of their mothers by a plate of meat, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became somewhat somber.

Lan Zhi came over with a bowl of tofu soup and greeted them:

"What are you talking about? Are you praising how delicious my meat is?"

The two men nodded in unison.

"Yes."

Lan Zhi sat down, served each of them a bowl of soup, and then urged them:

"Eat up! I earned another two taels of silver today. If this continues, we'll be able to eat meat every day from now on."

Upon hearing this, Mao Mao danced with joy, and Mo Ning's face also showed a happy expression.

A month later

In Kangzhuang Village, there is a female doctor who specializes in treating difficult and complicated diseases. Her medicine is effective and cures all ailments. Moreover, she does not charge consultation fees, and the cost of her medicine is also low.

The news spread like wildfire throughout Binjiang Town and nearby villages, attracting more and more patients, and Mo Ning's courtyard became increasingly bustling.

Mao Mao no longer needed to go to the city to recruit patients, so she simply became Lan Zhi's assistant and took care of the patients for her.

After a period of training, Mo Ning was able to push her wheelchair around the yard by herself, which made Lan Zhi feel much more at ease.

After seeing off the last patient of the day, Lan Zhi ran into the kitchen to cook.

No matter how tired she was, she made sure that Mo Ning and Mao Mao had three meals a day, which made Mo Ning feel sorry for her, but there was nothing she could do.

During the meal, Mo Ning couldn't help but ask:

"If I could walk like a normal person, wouldn't I be able to share some of your burden and you wouldn't be so tired?"

His words made Lan Zhi sense something.

She looked up at him.

"Are you in a hurry again?"

Mo Ning quickly shook his head.

"No rush. I just feel sorry for you seeing you so busy every day, cooking for us."

The moment Lan Zhi heard those three words from his mouth, she was moved.

She looked at Mo Ning with a smile on her lips.

"Although we're very tired every day, it's worth it because we've made money. I've been thinking that if we earn more this year, we can renovate this house next year..."

Just then, a shout came from outside.

"Ling Lanzhi, if you're still alive, come out, Ling Lanzhi..."

The voice sounded familiar to her.

Cui family?

What is she here for?

Mo Ning also heard the shouts outside and hurriedly asked with concern.

Who's calling you?

"My aunt, I'm going out to take a look."

Mo Ning quickly reminded him,

"Be careful."

She nodded solemnly.

"I know, you and Mao Mao should eat first!"

After saying those words, she turned and left.

Madam Cui and Ling Lanhua were standing at the doorway, peering into the courtyard. Ling Lanhua tugged at Madam Cui's sleeve with some concern.

"Mother, Ling Lanzhi died that morning. Could she be here?"

Cui rolled her eyes in displeasure.

"The disabled wife in Kangzhuang Village is a legendary doctor; the word has spread far and wide. How could it be wrong?"

"But she was clearly dead that morning. We carried her into the car ourselves. Could she have come back to life?"

"Didn't you hear what everyone's saying? She received divine teachings. Maybe she was faking her death that morning. Anyway, we'll know once we see it."

It's true what they say, people are afraid of becoming famous, just like pigs are afraid of getting hurt. If Lan Zhi hadn't become famous for treating people's illnesses, the Cui family probably would never have come to visit her in her entire life!

After Lan Zhi came out of the house, she went straight to Cui Shi and her daughter. Through the door, Ling Lan Hua pointed at her, her lips trembling as she gasped in surprise.

"Mother, look! It's her! She's not dead! She's still alive!"

Lan Zhi crossed her arms, looked at the mother and daughter through the door, and snorted disdainfully.

"Yes, I'm still alive. I've let you down!"

Cui nudged Ling Lanhua with her elbow, then looked at Lan Zhi with a fawning smile.

"Lan Zhi, your sister didn't mean it, don't be like her. How have you been these past few months since you got married? Have you suffered any grievances? I've been wanting to come see you for a while, but I haven't been able to find the time. I only had some free time today..."

"Aunt Cui, don't try to get close to me like that. I've already been sold out by you. Two hundred taels of silver! I didn't expect I was worth so much. But once you accepted those two hundred taels of silver, we had nothing to do with each other anymore. Did you come here to see a doctor? If so, you'll have to come and get a number tomorrow morning. I don't have time right now."

After saying this, she turned to leave, but Madam Cui called her back.

"and many more……"

She stood there with a slight smile on her lips, but before she could turn around, Madam Cui couldn't wait to start accusing her.

“Ling Lanzhi, since you won’t even let us in the door, it means you don’t care about this family relationship anymore. Fine, then let’s make things clear today. My Ling family has raised you for seventeen years and we can’t let that go to waste. Based on your expenses of fifty taels of silver per year for food, drink and clothing, you should give me eight hundred and fifty taels of silver. Take the silver now, and from now on we’ll sever all ties.”

Just as she guessed, the arrival of the Cui mother and daughter was definitely not a good thing.

She turned to look at Madam Cui, and suddenly smiled.

"Fifty taels? You don't even spend five coins on me every year, and you still dare to ask me for fifty taels? Cui, aren't you afraid of divine retribution for lying like this?"
