Chapter 24
It was a quarter past noon when Li Changsheng finished giving Li Yushu acupuncture.

The whole family had a good meal and stayed outside. When they saw Li Changsheng coming out, they rushed over: "Doctor Li, how is it?"

Li Changsheng raised his eyes and looked over, it was Father Lin.

He stretched out his hand with a serious expression: "The consultation fee is eight taels."

Father Lin was taken aback for a moment, then took out the bank note from his pocket and went over.

Li Changsheng happily took the bank note, subconsciously he was about to take out his wallet in his arms, and he did it halfway before he noticed that it was a 100 tael bank note.

He is stupid.

I only put twenty taels of silver in my purse, which is not enough to find.

Li Changsheng returned the silver ticket in pain: "I don't have that much money with me, do you have any scattered ones?"

Father Lin glanced at the bank note, and then he and his sons stared at me and yours.

He gritted his teeth and took the bank note back, "Doctor Li, please wait a moment."

Father Lin raised his legs and entered the main room. Mother Lin was lying on the bed waiting for the news. Seeing Father Lin coming in, he hurriedly asked, "How is the fourth family?"

Father Lin waved his hand. He had heard what Yang Hongfen had said and knew that Yushu was fine.

"Doctor Li said there's nothing wrong with it, so he prescribed a prescription. Let's take the medicine for a few days first. It's eight taels of silver without the diagnosis fee. Doctor Li couldn't find a bank note, so I thought about taking the money first."

Lin's father didn't pause at all in opening the box, but Lin's mother frowned and said, "Then you need to get medicine, can't you go to the county to give it?"

Father Lin had already found the money from the public office, and he took it and said, "You don't understand, there is something bright in his consultation money."

Father Lin used to be a clerk in an inn in the county, so he knew these things very well, let alone a doctor, he himself did this kind of thing back then.

Mother Lin knew it, and when she heard Father Lin say this, she knew in her heart that it was her own turn to do this, and she was somewhat uncomfortable, so she turned around and simply kept out of sight.

"Go out quickly after you take it, I'll sleep for a while."

"Hey~"

Father Lin responded, covered the box, and slowed down his steps, trying not to let himself make a sound.

After paying the consultation fee, Li Changsheng proposed to leave. Lin Yudong and Lin Yuxi had already had dinner, and they already knew that Li Yushu had honored Mother Lin with a ginseng.

This time, Li Changsheng was sent back to Baekje Hall, not only to take medicine for Yushu, but also for Mother Lin by the way.

The three got into the bullock cart, Lin Yudong raised his hand and waved his whip, and the group of people drifted away.

Now the sky has cleared up again, and the sun is very poisonous. Father Lin drank his saliva, picked up his sickle and went to work in the field again.

The two patients in the hospital, Zhao Chunhua and Yang Hongfen, also had a rare two-day rest.

A few little radish heads ran to the village to play, Zhao Chunhua and Yang Hongfen picked up their clothes and went to the river.

Just as the two of them passed by, a woman approached her. Zhao Chunhua looked up and saw that it was Lin Guifen, the daughter-in-law of the Lingen family at the end of the village.

"Isn't this Yuxi's daughter-in-law, come to do the laundry? What was the quarrel at your house last night? The two brothers called the doctor because of the quarrel?"

The women next to her also pricked up their ears.

Zhao Chunhua put down the wooden basin with a calm expression, and then said to the person next to her:

"Auntie, make room for me. You see, my place is too narrow, not enough for my sister-in-law and I to squat."

The woman on the side moved the wooden basin awkwardly, Zhao Chunhua took Yang Hongfen down and squatted down, and the two began to wash clothes.

Only then did Lin Guifen realize that she had been ignored, and not only that, there was no room for washing clothes by the river.

She squeezed over dissatisfied, trying to squeeze out a seat, "Wife Yuxi, move to the side, and what happened to your house last night?"

Zhao Chunhua knew that Lin Guifen was shameless, but she really didn't know how shameless she could be to this extent.

She lowered her eyes slightly, as if she couldn't hear, took out the clothes from the wooden basin, put some soap locust cream on it, and then picked up the mallet and beat it.

Seeing this, Lin Guifen became angry from embarrassment, rolled her eyes, and noticed Yang Hongfen who was silent beside her.

She yelled: "Daughter-in-law Yudong, step aside." But the man pushed her directly.

Yang Hongfen didn't react at once, and with a "plop", she fell directly into the water.

It happened so suddenly that the people around were shocked, let alone Lin Guifen, the culprit.

She was trembling, her face was pale, she just wanted to push to the side, but it didn't take much effort, why did she fall into the river?It's over, it's over...

Yang Hongfen didn't know how to swim, and the river wasn't shallow. She watched the splashing water gradually get smaller.

At the critical moment, Zhao Chunhua finally came to her senses, jumped down from the river, and rescued Yang Hongfen with her brute strength.

Seeing this, Lin Guifen didn't care about the unwashed clothes, and sneaked away while no one was paying attention to her.

The other women also left the river calmly. Their lives were at stake, and they didn't want to wade into this muddy water.

There were a few kind-hearted people who helped to invite the doctor and inform the Lin family.

Zhao Chunhua put Zhang Hongfen on the ground and pressed her abdomen hard. She remembered that someone drowned in her natal home before, and the doctor saved people like this.

"Fen'er, wake up, Fen'er..."

Zhao Chunhua pressed hard, her eyes were reddened, she and Yang Hongfen grew up together, if Yang Hongfen left like this, she would definitely pay Lin Guifen blood for blood.

Perhaps it was Zhao Chunhua's pressure that had an effect. Yang Hongfen, who was on the verge of death, coughed violently, and vomited out the water she drank in her stomach.

Seeing this, Zhao Chunhua quickly hugged Yang Hongfen into her arms.

"It's okay, luckily you're okay..."

"Chunhua, I thought I was going to die," Yang Hongfen said weakly.

Tears welled up in Zhao Chunhua's eyes: "Whatever you die, don't talk nonsense, I've saved you so many times, your life is already mine..."

"The doctor is here"

"Ahem..." Yang Hongfen wanted to say something, but when someone called the doctor, she swallowed the words again.

It was Dr. Lin who came, and Zhao Chunhua stood up.

"Doctor Lin, show my sister-in-law quickly."

Dr. Lin nodded, walked over and squatted down to feel his pulse.

Zhao Chunhua looked at the woman at the side again, raised her hand and leaned slightly, and said respectfully, "Thank you, aunt, for your help in inviting Dr. Lin here."

The woman waved her hand: "Everyone is from the village, it's a duty to help, you also fell into the water, your clothes are soaked, after Dr. Lin sees your sister-in-law, go back quickly, this woman is cold No way."

After Zhao Chunhua heard the last sentence, her eyes narrowed slightly, her fingers clenched into fists, and her phalanges creaked.

Of course she knew that if a woman was exposed to the cold, she would suffer from unbearable pain during menstruation if she was too young, and if it was too big, it would affect her children.

Doctor Lin took his pulse and said, "I'm fine, go back and make some ginger soup and drink it. Be careful if you have a fever tonight. If you have a fever, go to my place to get medicine."

After hearing this, Zhao Chunhua thanked her quickly: "Thank you, Dr. Lin, but I came here to do the laundry, so I didn't bring any money with me. The consultation fee..."

"It's okay to be late, you'd better go back quickly."

After all, both of them were drenched, and it would not be a good thing to get a cold if the cold air entered the body.

Zhao Chunhua naturally knew this truth, she helped Yang Hongfen up and was about to walk to Lin's house when she saw Xiaohua and Erni running towards her with teary eyes in the distance.
