Female-dominated society: My husband is clingy and I can't shake him off

Li Mo'er rolled her eyes helplessly. She felt that this Er Gouzi had the potential to be a mother, just like her mother, nagging incessantly.

"It wasn't me, it was Su Yanli."

Li Mo'er pried Li Lin's hands off and freed her head once again.

If I ever end up with my head separated from my body, it will definitely be the work of this idiot.

Seeing Li Lin's shocked expression, Li Mo'er didn't bother with her; buying medicine was the priority.

Do you know where there's a clinic?

Li Lin was still in shock; her impression of Li Mo'er was still based on the past.

Although Li Lin's mind hadn't quite caught up, his body reacted automatically to Li Mo'er's question, pointing towards the small house closer to the mountain.

That was the residence of Doctor Wang. Doctor Wang was originally from Luocheng. Her son was sick and needed medication every day. It required a kind of insect or herb as a medicine to cure him.

Dr. Wang heard that there might be some in the back mountains of this place. At first, she searched for half a month in the mountains with great hope, but she did not find any. She also knew that everything was a matter of chance, so she settled down here and went to the mountains to collect herbs every day.

Li Mo'er saw where Li Lin was pointing and immediately ran towards it.

Suddenly, she stopped and turned back to look for Li Lin.

She glanced at Li Lin, who was staring blankly, and took out a silver coin from her person. She didn't know how much it was, so she waved the coin in front of her.

"Lend me some silver coins first, and I'll pay you back when I have the money."

Without waiting for Li Lin to hear her, she turned and ran towards Doctor Wang.

Upon hearing the word "money," Li Lin snapped back to reality, touched her pocket, and found that she only had one tael of silver left, which was the money she had originally planned to use to pay off her gambling debts that day.

Watching Li Mo'er walk further and further away, she followed helplessly. She had to keep an eye on Mo'er, just in case she made another fool of herself.

Li Mo'er pushed open the pharmacy door and saw Dr. Wang sitting behind the table. She placed the money on the table, remembering the look in the innkeeper's eyes. She dared not confidently slap the money on the table again.

"I need to get some medicine, the kind that can reduce swelling and pain, or improve blood circulation."

Li Mo'er was panting heavily from running, and could barely speak.

She didn't know what kind of medicine to buy, so she could only describe the injuries and illnesses in the language she had heard in ancient texts before.

Wang Xinyu looked Li Mo'er up and down in disbelief. Everyone in the village knew how cunning Li Mo'er was.

Seeing that the doctor didn't move, Li Mo'er assumed he was going to say his name, but how could she possibly know his name? She couldn't very well say she wanted Yunnan Baiyao ointment, could she?

Li Mo'er frowned in thought, wondering what other medicine there was.

While she was thinking, Doctor Wang had already turned around to get her some ointment, but Li Mo'er was too engrossed in her thoughts to notice.

She suddenly clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Ah, doctor, safflower oil will do too!"

This suddenly popped into Li Mo'er's head; this should be universal, right?

Dr. Wang's hand trembled, and then he gripped the porcelain bottle tightly.

Safflower? What does Li Mo'er want that for? Is she going to give it to Yan Li? How does Li Mo'er know that excessive consumption of safflower can lead to lifelong infertility? Or is she doing it on purpose?

Doctor Wang felt a pang of panic, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind, but she didn't show it on her face. She needed to find an opportunity to tell Yanli to be careful.

"We're out of safflower, these are for reducing swelling and relieving pain, which one do you want?"

Li Mo'er didn't realize that Doctor Wang was talking about safflower instead of safflower oil, and she didn't care at all. After all, she was only there to buy medicine to reduce swelling, and it wasn't like she absolutely needed safflower oil.

Li Mo'er picked up the porcelain bottles and looked at them from left to right. Apart from the different colors and shapes, she couldn't tell anything else about them.

"Doctor, which one is the best among these?" Li Mo'er asked Doctor Wang with an embarrassed smile.

Doctor Wang pointed to the light green jar in the middle, which was noticeably smaller than the others, and said, "This is Sanqi wound ointment, but it's also the most expensive, costing thirty coins."

Panax notoginseng is a very rare medicinal herb, so this ointment is much more expensive than others.

"Okay, I'll take the most expensive one."

Li Mo'er handed the silver to Doctor Wang, then put her own handful of copper coins back into her pocket.

As soon as Li Lin entered the door, he heard Li Mo'er say, "Buy the most expensive one."

“Sister Mo’er, this little jar is less than the size of your palm and it costs thirty coins. Why don’t we buy this gray one? I’ve used this one before, and it works very well.”

Li Lin hurriedly recommended other medicines to her, saying that these days, nobody buys the best medicine; as long as it cures the disease, that's enough.

Li Mo'er put away the money Dr. Wang had given her, picked up the medicine, and pulled Li Lin away.

"I bought this for Su Yanli, so of course I have to buy the best. What if he takes revenge on me in the middle of the night if I don't treat him well?"

Li Mo'er thought that she still needed to go back and bribe Su Yanli, so that she could live well while she was still here.

Speaking of Su Yanli, Li Mo'er thought of his scarred back again. If she went back, wouldn't the original owner beat him up again?

"Er Gouzi, let me ask you, do you think Su Yanli likes Li Mo and me?"

Li Mo'er originally intended to blurt out the name "Li Mo'er," but now she became Li Mo'er.

It's really awkward not to ask others if they like you.

"Of course I like him. Brother Su used to always follow you around. Before you got married, there was a time when you were sick, and it was Brother Su who took care of you."

Li Mo'er silently made a mental note of it. It seemed she couldn't make a move on Su Yanli, since she already had someone she liked.

He might see himself as Li Mo'er, but she isn't. She's a modern person who should bravely say no to substitute literature.

When Li Lin returned home, Li Mo'er shook her pocket and said, "I'll use this money first, and I'll definitely pay you back in a few days."

Li Lin waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to return it, since Li Mo'er was the reason she was able to keep the two taels of silver.

Li Mo'er returned home with the ointment and gently pushed the door open.

Huh? It's locked (??_??)?

No, it's only just getting dark, the sun is still halfway up, why is the door locked?

Li Mo'er was about to raise her hand to knock on the door when she wondered if Su Yanli was already asleep. After all, he was injured and should rest early.

So, Li Mo'er circled the house several times before finally finding a slightly lower section of the wall.

I jumped with all my might, but... I couldn't reach it.

Again, no, one more time.

Several times in a row, Li Mo'er jumped lower and lower each time.

In the end, he moved two stones under his feet and jumped up, barely managing to grab the top of the wall with his hands.

Li Mo'er struggled to climb to the top of the wall, but when she looked down at the ground, her legs began to weaken.

That's too high! If she jumps, won't she break a bone?

After hesitating for a while, Li Mo'er carefully climbed down the wall. Even if she had ten times the courage, she wouldn't dare to jump down.

Although the body isn't hers, if it gets hurt, it's her who feels the pain.

Li Mo'er gripped the wall with her hands and slowly slid down, hanging on it. She tried her best to touch the ground with her toes, but she couldn't reach it.

"Damn it, why is the ground level the same on both sides?" Li Mo'er complained inwardly, almost cursing.

Her hands were getting weak, so she slowly released one hand, touched the ointment on her chest to make sure it was in place, then closed her eyes and released the other hand.

"Well--"

The immense inertia caused her to stumble back a few steps, startling her so much that she couldn't help but cry out. She quickly covered her mouth, afraid of waking Su Yanli.

Little did she know that while she was circling and trying to find her way around the wall, Su Yanli had already heard the noise.
