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

Before Li Mo'er even stepped into the pharmacy, she heard Doctor Wang instructing Wang Jingmo and the others not to go out for the next few days.

"Today I went to the back mountain and saw that it was full of soldiers patrolling. They seemed to be looking for someone..."

"Oh, right, they also asked me." Dr. Wang was lost in thought.

"They asked me if I had seen a woman who was extremely wealthy, with lots of money."

After carefully recalling for a long time, Dr. Wang only said these two sentences.

"I don't know why they're bringing rich women to our Li Family Village. Why don't they go to the town to look for them?"

When Li Mo'er heard Doctor Wang say that, she really thought he was looking for some rich person. But when she heard him say "lots of money," she realized something was wrong.

Why did those officers and soldiers choose to search in Lijia Village instead of other places?

Moreover, judging from what Doctor Wang said, it seemed that they went to the back mountain specifically to look for it.

The back mountain, Lijia Village, and lots of money there?

Could they be here to see me?

Thinking of this possibility, Li Mo'er quickly and carefully looked around and asked in a low voice, "Dr. Wang, are you sure you're looking for someone extremely wealthy, not someone with lots of money?"

Dr. Wang didn't catch the hidden meaning in Li Mo'er's words and asked directly with suspicion, "Isn't someone who's extremely rich just someone with lots of money?"

Seeing that Doctor Wang didn't understand her meaning, Li Mo'er explained it more clearly, "Exactly, maybe they're looking for someone surnamed Qian?"

Upon hearing this, Doctor Wang waved his hand dismissively, "Oh well, they've come to the wrong place. In Li Family Village, besides the Li family, there's no one with a different surname."

Li Mo'er looked around the room. There were four people sitting inside: Doctor Wang, Wang Jingmo, Su Yanli, and herself.

It seems that apart from herself, no one else has the surname Li.

However, even she herself is not actually surnamed Li; the name she gave to the person surnamed Lin last time was Qian Duoduo.

Dr. Wang watched as Li Mo'er turned her head blankly, staring at them, and even pointed to herself and then at the three of them.

Dr. Wang awkwardly touched his nose, "It's because I've been here so long that I thought I was a resident of Lijia Village and forgot for a moment."

"Anyway, it's good that there's no 'money tyrant' or anything like that."

Dr. Wang said this because many people from Lijia Village had come to her for medicine, so she knew who the villagers were.

When Li Mo'er heard what Doctor Wang said, she felt guilty and didn't say anything, only using drinking water to cover up her unease.

Unexpectedly, Dr. Wang suddenly leaned close to Li Mo'er and said something.

"Do you think that girl with lots of money might have done something wrong and the soldiers came to arrest her?"

"puff--"

"Cough cough cough..."

Li Mo'er choked on her tea before she could even swallow it.

What trouble could she possibly cause? She just saved someone. That person's eyes were innocent and they didn't seem to have any ulterior motives. They probably weren't a bad person.

You can know a person's face but not their heart, and she couldn't be sure that the man was a good person.

Seeing that Li Mo'er was coughing, Su Yanli quickly patted her back to help her breathe. "Are you alright?"

Li Mo'er shook her head, indicating that she was fine.

She recalled the soldiers she had just encountered; they were certainly not friendly.

If he's looking for his savior, that's absolutely impossible.

Could it be that they really came to seek revenge? The more Li Mo'er thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

If she were alone, it wouldn't matter, but now that they're with her, she can't truly be indifferent.

Li Mo'er planned to dispose of the jade that the man surnamed Lin had left her once the storm had passed.

She couldn't keep the jade, but she couldn't throw it away either. She hadn't figured out what to do yet.

When Li Mo'er came to her senses, she was the only one left in the courtyard.

She went into the room and began to recall who else she had mentioned the name Qian Duoduo to, but after thinking it over, the only one she could think of was the man in the cave.

However, she was also very glad that she hadn't used the name Li Mo'er, otherwise she would have been beheaded by now.

These past two days, Li Mo'er has been worried that, like in the period dramas she used to watch, someone would be going around asking questions with her portrait, so she's too scared to leave the house and has been staying at Doctor Wang's house.

"Li Mo'er, come and gather the herbs quickly."

At first, Dr. Wang treated her as a guest, but now he treats her like a servant.

She was responsible for serving tea and water, and although Li Mo'er seemed unwilling on the surface, she enjoyed it immensely.

Because of her interactions with Dr. Wang, she always felt like she was with her mother.

"Mo'er, come and pour your Aunt Ming a glass of water."

Li Mo'er happily carried the water over, saying, "Auntie Daming, here's some water for you."

Dr. Wang picked up his water glass, only to find it was empty. He then pushed it in front of Li Mo'er, saying, "Pour me a glass too."

Li Mo'er glanced at it and muttered softly, "Why didn't you say so earlier? Now I have to make another trip."

She even leaned closer to Dr. Wang's ear so that Dr. Wang could hear her.

Dr. Wang immediately rolled her eyes at her; if she had a spare hand, she would have slapped her across the face.

Seeing the long queue, Li Mo'er teased Doctor Wang for a bit before going to get her some water.

Dr. Wang has been sitting here all morning. If she doesn't help her calm down soon, her efficiency will slow down.

After seeing off the last patient, Li Mo'er rubbed her lower back; she was quite tired from running around so many times.

Fortunately, this is the only busy day of the month. Today is the day when Dr. Wang provides free medical consultations to the villagers, and people from all walks of life, whether sick or not, come to see him.

When Wang Jingmo saw that Li Mo'er's back was uncomfortable, he was about to go over and give her a massage when Su Yanli had already started massaging it.

His outstretched hand froze awkwardly in place, and realizing that Li Mo'er hadn't noticed, he silently withdrew it.

Wang Jingmo's eyes were full of envy. If he were to be with Mo'er in the future, he could take care of her so openly and honestly.

Seeing his son's actions, Dr. Wang felt a pang of heartache, and so...

"Jingmo, come here and give me a shoulder massage."

Dr. Wang was enjoying his son's massage techniques, nodding repeatedly with a look of pure bliss.

Fortunately, Doctor Wang was unaware of Wang Jingmo's thoughts, otherwise she would have given Li Mo'er another lecture.

She wouldn't say a word to her own son, but she could give her thick-skinned daughter-in-law a good beating.

Although I'm reluctant to hit him, I can still vent my frustration by talking about it.

He had raised his son to be like a flower, just as he was about to bloom, when she came and plucked the flower away. Naturally, Dr. Wang felt some resentment.
