After dinner, Old Lady Su arranged for the eldest son to drive a borrowed ox cart to pick up the doctor.

The second brother drove the ox cart to the county to find a doctor at the beginning of the morning, which is about five o'clock in the morning now. When we get back, the eldest brother will take us back!

It normally takes two hours to walk from the village to the county. If you drive a bullock cart, it depends on the load of the cart, but it takes nearly an hour at the fastest, and an hour and a half or even longer if it is slow.

Old Mrs. Su gave the money to the eldest brother and said, "When you get to the pharmacy, just get five days' worth of medicine." The five days' worth of medicine would cost two and a half taels of silver.

"Mom, please give him a few more days! We don't have to run to the county again. Fourth brother will need to take the medicine for two months! Mom, you must cure fourth brother's illness!" If Su Anping didn't know how much his mother loved fourth brother, he would have suspected that his mother was stingy with the money and didn't want to treat fourth brother.

"I have my own plans, just follow my instructions."

Boss Su didn't dare to question his mother anymore and drove the ox cart away obediently.

After sending the doctor away, Old Lady Su started to tell the family to do what they needed to do! If there was nothing to do, they should go back to their own rooms. She said to her eldest daughter, Su Yijiajia, "You and your sister should go back to my room. You have come such a long way this early in the morning. Go back and rest first."

Su Yijia obediently went back to the house with her sister Su Yitong. She thought: As long as my mother doesn't drive me back to Sun's house, anything is fine.

After making arrangements for everyone, the old lady and the third son's family returned to the third son's room. This time, the five members of the family gathered together and held a meeting.

Several people sorted out the current situation.

This is an imaginary dynasty, the Darong Dynasty. History took a turn after the Tang Dynasty, and after experiencing wars, it developed into the current Darong Dynasty. This is an imaginary dynasty, and the current Darong Dynasty has only been established for more than 30 years. Because of the instability caused by years of war, the population of Old Man Su's generation has dropped sharply. As the wars stopped, society gradually settled down, and the population continued to grow after the establishment of the Darong Dynasty.

The ancestors of the Su family were officials. Mrs. Su only knew that they were officials, but she didn't know how high their official positions were. More than 40 years ago, the grandfather of the old man Su moved here with his family to escape the war. There was also a family surnamed Zhao who came here. It is said that their ancestors were imperial doctors. This family is the family of the eldest daughter-in-law.

This is Nanxi Village, Qianchuan County, Yuzhou Prefecture, Dayong Dynasty. Needless to say, this village is located on the south side of a stream flowing down from the mountain.

The Su family originally had some assets, but after years of war, they had to settle down again and spend money over the years, so they didn't have much left. After deducting the medical expenses, the current assets include: 20 acres of paddy fields, 30 acres of dry land, a total of 50 acres of land, 37 taels of silver, and the current brick and tile house, and the books passed down by the Su family. Among the 37 taels of silver, there is also 20 taels brought back by the fourth son, so the Su family actually has 17 taels of silver left. With such assets, the family is already considered a wealthy family in the village.

Old Su was a scholar who passed away 9 years ago. Less than half a month after Old Su's death, the county issued a conscription order. The Darong Dynasty favored scholars, and families with scholars or above could be exempted from military service. Only the only son in the family was exempted from military service. Other families had to strictly follow the requirements to serve in the military, and could not redeem themselves with money. The conscription that year was extremely strict.

The only scholar in the family, Old Man Su, passed away, and the men in the family had to serve in the army.

The Su family decided that the eldest son Su would go, but the fourth son Su secretly went to the head of the village to change his name, and finally went to serve in the army in place of the eldest son.

The Su family has a large population.

The head of the Su family, Mrs. Su, is 52 years old this year. She is the daughter of the head of the village. Her father was the head of the village, and the current head of the village is her brother. Mrs. Su gave birth to four sons and two daughters. Except for the fourth son and the youngest daughter, the rest are married.

The eldest son, Su Anping, is 35 years old. He married Zhao Yun, 34 years old, and has three sons. The eldest son, Su Zhicheng, is 17 years old, the second son, Su Zhibo, is 15 years old, and the youngest son, Su Zhixuan, is 11 years old.

The second son, Su Ankang, is 33 years old. He married Li Hongmei, 32 years old, and has two daughters. The eldest daughter, Su Guoguo, is 13 years old, and the second daughter, Su Miaomiao, is 10 years old.

The third brother, Su Anton, is 31 years old. He married Zhou Huilan, 30 years old, and has a son and a daughter. The son, Su Zhihao, is 13 years old, and the daughter, Su Yuanyuan, is 9 years old. Zhou Huilan is the niece of Mrs. Su and the only daughter of Zhou Lizheng. The third brother's family, together with Mrs. Su, is a family that traveled through time.

The fourth child, Su Anyuan, is 26 years old and still unmarried. He left home to join the army at the age of 17 and served for 8 years. He only returned at the end of October last year.

The eldest daughter, Su Yijiajia, was 24 years old. She married into the Sun family and had a son who died young.

The younger daughter, Su Yitong, was 17 years old and unmarried, so her engagement was broken off.

Old Mrs. Su fell ill and fainted due to a series of blows.

The fourth son returned home seriously injured a few years ago. Old Mrs. Su was very worried about his injury. In order to treat his injury, she sold the only cow in the family. The fourth son's injury has cost more than 60 taels of silver. If she wants to be completely optimistic, if there is no more income, it is estimated that the next step for Old Mrs. Su is to sell the land.

After the New Year, just a few days after the 15th day of the first lunar month, the Li family, to whom the youngest daughter was engaged, came to cancel the engagement. This marriage was arranged when Old Man Su was still alive, but she did not expect that the engagement would be cancelled when her daughter was old enough to get married. Old Mrs. Su was so angry that she fell ill. After she fell ill, she passed the disease to her little granddaughter Su Yuanyuan, who slept with her.

Today, before daybreak, Mrs. Su's eldest daughter, Su Yijia, came home with a divorce letter. Mrs. Su fainted after seeing the letter. After seeing her grandmother fainted, Su Yuanyuan cried beside her grandmother, and fell asleep on her side when she was tired of crying.

Next, a family came through and took over this mess.

Su Zhihao was very open-minded: "Grandma, we are lucky. This is not bad. It is better than death."

Old Mrs. Su replied dissatisfiedly: "Call me grandma." Old Mrs. Su knew in her heart that being alive was the best situation now.

"Grandma, we've made a fortune. You've gone from 77 to 52, Dad has gone from 53 to 31, Mom has gone from 52 to 30, my brother has gone from 27 to 13, and I've gone from 23 to 9. Grandma, we've all become younger." Su Yuanyuan changed her words quickly.

Old Mrs. Su agreed, "Yes, yes! It's considered a good deal." In Old Mrs. Su's heart, as long as the family can be together in peace, nothing else matters.

Su Anton looked at his smiling daughter and wailed in his heart: I have some assets in modern times, and my family has an industry. What is this situation now? I have nothing! I have returned to the time before liberation, and I have to start all over again. But looking at my family, I feel comforted. It is better than death.

Modern Su Anton served in the army for 10 years when he was young. After retiring, he and his wife opened restaurants and hotels. The business grew bigger and bigger, and they opened several chains with considerable assets. His children just graduated from graduate school this year. His son studied software engineering, and the family funded the company. His daughter studied business administration and has begun to help him and his wife run the company. Originally, Su Anton thought that after his daughter could shoulder the burden on her own, he and his wife would retire and go traveling. Everything was so beautiful, but now they have to struggle again.

Su Anton, who was complaining madly in his heart, was awakened by his daughter: "Dad, you and Mom should not have children in the future. You are cousins! This is a close relative marriage. What if you give birth to an unhealthy child?"

Su An Dong and Zhou Hui Lan were shocked. Yes! Inbreeding does not mean that you cannot have children. Both of them were embarrassed and did not speak.

Fortunately, both of them remembered that Zhou Huilan was injured when she gave birth to Su Yuanyuan, and the doctor said at the time that she might not be able to have children again in the future.

Old Mrs. Su noticed the embarrassment of Su Anton and his wife, and changed the subject, "I also discovered one good thing. After coming here, our bodies have improved. The problems we had before have disappeared." The old lady described her previous physical condition and the doctor's opinion in detail.

Su Zhihao and Su Yuanyuan were very excited after hearing this. Although they were young and should have no health problems, it was very exciting that the whole family was in good health.

Su An Dong and his wife were also very happy after hearing this, they looked at each other, thought about the issue of close relative marriage, and thought at the same time that they should see a doctor, as these close relatives could not have any more children.
