Mrs. Lin was carried back to her residence in the house by her son, followed by Mrs. Zheng who was holding her granddaughter.
This is a remote guest room, with two doctors, Qin Gou, living on the left and right.
Mrs. Lin's ability to identify medicinal materials by smell had just reached their ears, and the two of them were secretly checking the Lin family's activities through the crack in the door.
Not long after seeing the Lin family enter the house, several neatly dressed maids knocked on the door next door with heavy packages in their hands.
"Old lady, Butler Li saw that you didn't bring any packages when you entered the house. He was worried that it would be inconvenient for you to live in, so he specially ordered us to send you some clothes and daily necessities. You can rest assured to stay here. If there is any inconvenience, just go to the front yard. Find us."
The Lin family had never been treated so warmly before. They hurriedly thanked each other for a while, who knew there would be a bigger surprise waiting for them.
A maid pushed a large object in from the door, and the sound of wheels rolling immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"What kind of thing is this? It has wheels on its feet. It looks weird."
Zheng was born and raised in the countryside from childhood to adulthood. She had limited exposure to the world and was extremely curious about many things.
The maid smiled and explained: "This is called a wheelchair. It is specially designed for people with limited mobility. It has just been taken out from the warehouse. It is a bit old, but it is no problem to use. Manager Li asked us to bring it over and give it to Mrs. Lin, I should like to thank you for saving my master today."
Mrs. Li was happy in her heart, but felt that she had deserved it. Just when she was about to refuse, Xiangyun kept shouting "Err...ah..." and kept staring at the wheelchair, unable to move away from her surprise.
Very good! With the wheelchair, it will be much easier for grandma to go out in the future.
The maids saw that Xiangyun was soft and cute, and her clever little appearance was particularly interesting. They gathered around to tease her, laughing from time to time, and Mrs. Lin couldn't find a chance to interrupt.
There was laughter and laughter here, but the two doctors Qin Gou were jealous and red-eyed in the room.
Two people who usually dislike each other stand on the same front for the first time.
Doctor Qin was so angry that he rolled up the medical skills in his hand into a ball and threw it on the document.
"Didn't you say that she is just an ordinary peasant woman who has never seen the world?"
"That old woman used to practice medicine, but... that was already thirty years ago. I didn't know that she could still have the skills she has now after not practicing medicine for decades!"
Doctor Gou was so angry that he was so angry that his mouth was crooked, especially when the servant he bribed came over and told him that Manager Li took the decoction he prepared and gave it to Old Mrs. Lin for examination. The damn old woman didn't know what she was talking about. He took the medicine residue and left the house.
"Whether she is really capable or pretending to be capable, if the person we have not cured is cured by an old woman who is half-broken into the ground, we will no longer have to mess around in Fuhai City!" Dr. Qin clenched his fists and glared sharply. I wish I could poke the family next door to death through the brick wall.
"Don't worry... She swore a poisonous oath back then. She would never practice medical consultation again in this life. If she violates this oath, she will be struck by lightning and die a good death!"
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Dr. Qin became interested. Mrs. Lin was so talented, but she was willing to give up years of hard work. I'm afraid she had some special experiences.
Doctor Gou stroked his gray beard, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
"Just wait and see, in a few days, their family will be disgraced and driven out of the city!"

Boss Lin led the remaining eight members of his family to live in a dilapidated woodshed with the city guards.
Next door to the woodshed is the tile-roofed house where the city gate guards take a break during the night. From time to time, you can hear the noises of drinking, punching, and betting on dice.
"Bah, we don't have enough to eat or wear or keep warm outside the city gate, and these soldiers are drinking and gambling here. They pay so much food tax every year, and in the end we support these ghosts!"
Zhao Ruoxia spat, cursed in a low voice, quickly carved out a large space in the woodshed, and pulled Tianji Tianrui to sit next to her.
Mrs. Zhang silently took down the things from the cart. Boss Lin stepped forward to help and found a clean place to put the valuable food and bedding.
"I don't know what's going on with my mother and third brother. A'bao is still so young, and suddenly his food rations are gone. I don't know if he can adapt."
Lin Laoer sighed, worried about his family.
"They left in a carriage. Now they may have high beds and soft pillows, and they can eat chicken, duck, fish and meat as they like. You should still worry about me and my son!"
Zhao Ruoxia complained repeatedly and felt extremely unbalanced. Lin Laoer rolled his eyes at her and remained silent.
It's late summer now, and the night wind is no longer as hot as before, but brings a bit of coolness.
Although the surrounding environment is messy, the Lin family is content. This is already a hundred times better than sleeping in the wilderness. At least they have a roof above their heads and walls to block the wind.
Tianji Tianrui was at a noisy age and couldn't sit still. He quickly broke away from Zhao Ruoxia's arms and ran to tease Lin Tianfu.
Lin Tianfu has recently grown out his front teeth, and he is always talking loudly. Tianji loves to tease him.
Originally, the compulsory lesson for several teenagers every night was to take turns teasing their sister. But tonight, when her sister was not here, the burden fell on Lin Tianfu, which suddenly made him feel like he was back to the days before his sister came home.
"Mom, when will my sister come back?"
Lin Tianfu tugged on Zhang's trouser leg and his lips started to bleed.
Mrs. Zhang wiped him clean with her sleeve and said, "It'll be quick. I'll be back in two days."
As he spoke, he took out the earthen jar from under the cart, intending to cook a simple meal for the whole family. Suddenly he noticed that the weight on his hand was light. When he opened it, there was not a drop of water inside.
She was deep in thought when the woodshed door was suddenly kicked open from the outside, making everyone tremble.
"Everyone is here. Count them and send them back to me tomorrow morning."
The man who spoke was tall and thin, with a suit of armor hanging slanted on his shoulders. The weight seemed to be bending him. He burped and turned sideways, and soon several strong and ferocious men squeezed into the room. .
Boss Lin immediately stood up and stood in front of the family: "What do you want to do?"
A few people seemed not to hear what he was saying. It was more like they were too lazy to pay attention to him and were concentrating on their own.
"Three men and two women, up to five heads."
"There's a slightly older boy over there who can do it too."
The big man glanced at Lin Tianci's thin arms and legs, with a look of disgust on his face: "This is considered half-work at best, take it away."
As soon as he finished speaking, several strong men rushed forward to take someone away, their actions rough and arrogant.
Lin Lao Er, Lin Lao Er and Zhang were determined to resist, but they couldn't stand the crowd. They were quickly subdued and forced out.
Zhao Ruoxia was so frightened that she kept screaming, and was slapped in the face by a man. Half of her face soon swelled to the size of a pancake, and even her eyes were bloodshot.
She was still crying: "Let me go, whatever you want to do, I will never obey you even if I die!"
The man lifted her onto the bullock cart like a chicken, laughing and joking with his companions.
"This bitch is so damn annoying. People who don't know better think we are going to sell her to a brothel."
The companions laughed in unison: "Then she will definitely be beaten to death by the madam because she can't receive customers, hahaha..."
"We are decent people with household registration and road guidance. Why are you holding us captive? Are there any royal laws?"
Li Laoer was so angry that his veins popped out. He tried to twist his wrist to break away from the rope, but found that the rope was getting tighter and tighter, making him unable to breathe.
"Don't waste your efforts. This is a rope made of beef tendons soaked in wine. It is the strongest. Even ten more of you, let alone you, can't pull it!"
The strong man quickly put a hood on everyone's head, shouted, and the ox cart moved forward. Under the moonlight, the vehicle turned into an uninhabited path and gradually drove away from the city gate.
In the dilapidated woodshed, the wind howled through the windows and coffins. Tianji Tianrui held his youngest brother Tianfu in his arms and cried so hard that he was out of breath.
"Milk, milf, where are you..."
"Wuwuwu, Tianfu is afraid, Tianfu is afraid..."
