Li Jiaxing is the only doctor in the village. He fled here and settled down with his wife and children.

The family had no land and was not good at farming. They survived by collecting herbs and treating patients, and they could barely make ends meet.

Shen Nanzhi came in carrying ginger mother. Doctor Li was grinding the herbs and almost crushed his hand. "What happened?"

He is a handsome middle-aged man in his early forties, with a calm temperament, wisdom and elegance. Although he is called a doctor, he looks more like a person in power who has been in a high position for a long time.

"My mother-in-law is sick and fainted. I am so anxious. Doctor Li, please take a look at her as soon as possible. No matter how much it costs, I will definitely cure her."

Shen Nanzhi's face was not red and she was not out of breath, but Jiang's mother vomited directly. Her face was pale, as if she was really sick and it was very serious.

"Oh, why did you vomit? Could it be that you are pregnant? My mother-in-law is really amazing, an old clam gives birth to a pearl!"

"you shut up!"

Jiang's mother really wanted to strangle her to death, but unfortunately she didn't have the strength.

All the members of the Jiang family came in, too tired to speak. The villagers gathered outside the yard to watch the fun. Shen Nanzhi patted her mother-in-law on the back with concern. She thought she was being gentle, but she almost hurt Jiang's mother's heart. She was so angry that she couldn't speak.

"Well, be gentle."

It was Doctor Li's reminder that made Shen Nanzhi stop and let me be filial to you. Haha, you have to be able to bear it.

"Oh, why are there so many people here? I'm just treating my mother-in-law, it's nothing serious, everyone please go away, go away."

Mrs. Jiang took a deep breath and said, "Are you here to treat a disease? You are murdering my mother-in-law. She is too old to bear such torture."

"How could that be? Sister-in-law, please don't wrongly accuse me. It was you who said that my mother-in-law was seriously ill and asked me for a tael of silver to see a doctor. I thought it would be unreliable to pay for her without taking care of her. But then my mother-in-law fainted, and I was confused and wanted to send her to see a doctor. What was wrong with that?"

The villagers outside were shocked. "One tael of silver? How dare you ask for that? Even if you go to the county town to see a doctor, you can't spend that much."

"What do you know? Isn't this just cheating the Fourth Family out of their money?"

"Oh, is it so dark?"

The villagers are not stupid. Although Shen Nanzhi is a daughter-in-law who married in and does not communicate much with the villagers, she is diligent and capable. She takes care of the housework and adopts a child for the family. She is hardworking and obedient, and is a good daughter-in-law.

The Jiang family has been slandering her, as if she had taken great advantage, and even more people sympathize with her.

The original owner’s previous efforts were not in vain, and someone still saw it.

Mrs. Jiang blushed: "I just said that you should pay so much first, and then you can make up for the shortfall. Who doesn't know that seeing a doctor is a bottomless pit?"

Doctor Li said, "Don't say that, as if I'm a quack. Generally speaking, a patient's fee is no more than 100 to 180 coins. Everyone in the village knows that."

The village chief Jiang Zhongyang came in. "Why are you making such a fuss about seeing a doctor? What's so good about it? Don't you even cook?"

The Jiang family is a large clan in the village, and other clans have merged in for various reasons. Village chief Jiang is the one who has the final say, and no one dares to disobey his words.

Shen Nanzhi greeted first: "Hello, Uncle. I was worried and confused. My mother-in-law fainted, so I wanted to find a doctor quickly. I disturbed everyone. It's my fault."

Seeing such a good attitude of admitting mistakes, Jiang Zhongyang looked better: "You did nothing wrong, so go see a doctor immediately.

Yonggui, your health has been really bad in the past two years. You've been sick every now and then. If you're not feeling well, go to the county and have a good checkup."

Doctor Li felt her pulse and said, "No need, her qi and blood are just a little weak, nothing serious. She is much better than other old ladies in the village, and her body is still strong."

"If the Qi and blood are not properly regulated, it will be very troublesome. Doctor Li, please prescribe some medicine to nourish the body. Our family cannot live without our mother."

Jiang Chen bowed and pretended to be a filial son.

Shen Nanzhi agreed: "That's right, we must prescribe good medicine, including ginseng and astragalus. Mother-in-law has worked hard all her life and raised so many daughters. She must enjoy her old age."

Everyone can say nice things. Shen Nanzhi is more filial than his own daughter.

"Okay, I'll prescribe the medicine right away. I just picked a ginseng a few days ago. I'll give it to you. Take it for half a month and you'll be able to go up the mountain and hunt tigers."

Everyone in the village laughed, and Doctor Li did not hold back and really used ginseng.

He kept it for his own use, but when he came to him for trouble, Doctor Li did not show any mercy.

The Jiang family members all looked unhappy and wished they could eat Shen Nanzhi.

"Okay, three bowls of water boiled into one bowl of water, three days of medicine, one tael and three hundred coins, take the money."

"so much?"

Shen Nanzhi, on the other hand, kept silent with her hands in her pockets, looking at the Jiang family with sarcasm, wondering if they could trick her in front of so many people.

The Jiang family members all pretended to be dead. The eldest brother Jiang winked at Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen had no choice but to ask Shen Nanzhi for help: "Shen, there is no extra money at home, why don't you pay for it first?"

Shen Nanzhi said in embarrassment: "It's okay, but I'm not well off. Since we got married, you haven't brought a penny home. All my money is the dowry my father gave me before he left. Now I've taken in two pigs, and I still owe them half a tael of silver. I'll pay it back after I kill the pigs.

I'm really sorry, husband, I really can't do anything, please don't be angry."

What else can Jiang Chen say?

He also has to save face and is dissatisfied with Shen Nanzhi, so how could he tell others that he is not making money?

He has no idea how to maintain the dignity of the head of the family. He is so unvirtuous.

Boss Jiang was also mean: "Why don't you just owe it to me first, and we'll deliver it another day."

"Okay, go back and be filial to the old lady. It's best to take this medicine for half a month. This is only enough for three days. Remember to come and get the medicine and continue taking it. Only then can the old lady live a long life."

The Jiang family members' faces were as dark as ink. They couldn't even get enough money for three days, and they still had to eat for half a month?

Might as well drink their blood.

Let’s take the old lady away first. Everyone in the Jiang family had a gloomy face, except Shen Nanzhi, who was smiling.

"Why don't you go home, you disgrace yourself."

Jiang Chen couldn't help but curse, but Shen Nanzhi didn't indulge him and was about to cry: "My husband, you are so sad to say this. Isn't it all for this family that I have been slaughtering pigs and selling meat?

Since my husband is not satisfied, I will not do these chores anymore and will only serve my husband."

If a cute little girl was aggrieved and acted coquettishly, people would still feel pity for her, but her dignity makes people feel disgusted.

Jiang Chen's face darkened: "Go home."

"Okay, husband, thank you, Doctor Li!"

Shen Nanzhi waved her hands. Doctor Li was quite understanding. He knew that she wanted to trick the Jiang family and cooperated very well.

"I'm going back, Uncle. Come to my house for tea later. Aunt Wu, Aunt Sun, see you later."

"Hey, see you later."

Jiang Chen didn't know when she became so familiar with the villagers?
