The two of them were indeed smart. They understood immediately and were very protective of their own. Their protection today warmed her heart.

Her family was no more than this; they were such weak children.

They were much more robust than old man Gu and Madam Hua. That family had lived half of their lives in a dog’s stomach.

However, she had made a scene in town today and did not buy anything. She could only give the sweet potatoes in the space to the second son and Mrs. Wu for dinner.

On the way, they met people from the village who were going to the market and greeted those they knew.

When they were about to reach the village entrance, they met some people walking towards them. One of them was Madam Hua. Madam Hua had been suppressed by old man Gu for the past few days and had not come to look to scold.

Seeing that the three had returned so early, she tilted her head and looked at the things in Gu Qingli’s basket.

She would feel uncomfortable if she didn’t cause trouble for their family.

Seeing that it was a few packets of medicine, she pursed her lips and walked past the three siblings.

Three packets of medicine didn’t cost a few copper coins. Thinking about how Madam Wu had been taking medication these days, although one dose of treatment didn’t cost many copper coins, it still cost a lot.

Thinking about how that b*tch had taken so much money just like that, she felt her heart and liver being scratched.

However, when she thought of the ten taels of silver, she gritted her teeth and endured it.

As long as that cheap girl got married, she could deal with Mrs. Wu however she wanted.

No matter what, the three siblings were still the younger generation. Madam Hua went over to them, and they called her ‘grandma,’ but she only gave an ‘En’ and glanced at them. Her eyes were full of disdain and disgust.

Madam Hua went on, and Da Shuang patted his chest. Fortunately, they didn’t buy any big buns today. Otherwise, the fact that they purchased buns to eat would have been exposed.

If that were the case, they would have wasted their efforts these past few days. Their grandma would take away the money they earned from selling herbs, and it would be impossible for them to buy buns to eat in the future.

Not to mention getting medicine for their mother.

Gu Qingli had a different thought. She felt that something was going on between Madam Hua and second brother.

A mother not only loathed her grandchildren, but she also disliked her son.

This was not normal.

If she knew the reason, she could start from this aspect and think of a way to get second brother Gu to leave the Gu family.

The three siblings went up the mountain after they returned. Only today, the two of them had seen the value of ginseng and had no choice not to go.

On the other side, as soon as Madam Hua entered the town, she ran into Zhang Qiaozui. As expected, Zhang Qiaozui explained to her, and Madam Hua was furious.

After sending money to her son and grandson, she hurried back to settle the score with Gu Qingli and her brothers.

Today, Mrs. Jiang also brought her eldest daughter-in-law and second daughter-in-law to the town market. Coincidentally, they ran into Zhang Qiaozui’s mouth, which was flying with saliva.

When Mrs. Jiang heard Zhang Qiaozui say that her son was a wife-killer and that he had not killed the second girl of the Gu family yet, she did not feel anything. It would be best if he could kill her. She did not like this second girl.

However, Zhang Qiaozui’s rotten mouth wanted to go up and tear her apart. She went around talking nonsense. And that old woman from the Hua family, even when her granddaughter was being scolded, she still helped to scold her. She had no shame at all.

The three of them pouted and left.

Xiao Yunjing, who was behind them, glanced at Zhang Qiaozui and Madam Hua.

When Gu Qingli came back at night, she thought Madam Hua would interrogate her, but it was quiet as usual.

It wasn’t that Madam Hua didn’t come to look for her, but that old Gu stopped her.

These few days, second brother had been very abnormal. If they went to find trouble with them again, second brother would fall out with them.

He couldn’t work anymore at his age, so he was counting on the second brother to do the work.

It was more like he was counting on his eldest and third sons to dream. He didn’t know how much silver he would have to give to his two grandsons and older sons.

The next day, Zhang Qiaozui woke up feeling a sharp pain in her mouth. She touched it with her hand and realized that it was swollen.

“Master.” She pushed Gu Datian, who was sleeping soundly.

Gu Datian opened his eyes and immediately saw Zhang Qiaozui’s sausage-like mouth. He got up and pointed at her mouth. “What did you eat to make your mouth so gluttonous?”

Zhang Qiaozui’s eyes widened as she raised her fist and punched Gu Datian, “You’re so heartless. If there’s anything in the house I secretly ate, it would still end up in your son and daughter’s mouths. Quickly get up and look for physician Li to see me.

Gu Datian was in pain and no longer tired. He quickly got up and went to find Dr. Li.

As soon as Dr. Li got up, he was pulled away by Gu Datian.

Dr. Li arrived and took a look at Zhang Qiaozui and her pulse. In the end, he shook his head. “I can’t tell what poison it is, but this old man will prescribe you a few doses of fire-reducing poison.”

When Zhang Qiaozui heard this, she was shocked. Was she poisoned?

What poison?

When did she take the poison? Why was she the only one in the family who was poisoned?

Also, Dr. Li couldn’t tell what was going on with her. Why did he still want to prescribe medicine after he was done?

What did he mean? Was he trying to steal her money? She couldn’t take it anymore. Covering her mouth, she pointed at Dr. Li and said, do you know how to treat illnesses? You can’t tell what poison and still want to prescribe medicine. How is this treating illnesses? Aren’t you harming my life?”

Dr. Li was stunned. He was so angry that his beard twitched. “Good, good, good. I’m incompetent. I’ll leave now. In the future, even if you invite me, I won’t come.”

As he spoke, Dr. Li grabbed his first aid kit and left. He had been dragged here by Gu Datian in the morning without even eating, and as a result, he had been scolded.

Although he couldn’t cure the poison immediately, he could slowly cure it bit by bit. He would only make Zhang Qiaozui suffer a little more.

Physician Li was so angry that smoke seemed to seep out of his seven orifices. This clever mouth and broken mouth were indeed impressive. They even said he did not know how to treat illnesses and was harming people’s lives!

As a doctor, she doubted his medical skills.

Forget it, forget it. If Dr. Li were to treat their family’s patients in the future, he would no longer be Dr. Li.

Gu Datian covered Zhang Qiaozui’s mouth and hurriedly went to stop Dr. Li, who had exploded. He smiled apologetically and said, “Dr. Li, she’s just an ignorant woman talking nonsense. Please prescribe her medicine.”

Dr. Li shook off Gu Datian’s hand and glanced at Zhang Qiaozui, “This old man doesn’t dare to do it, so you’ll look for someone else. In this old man’s opinion, your wife’s words will bring about retribution.”

Hmph! After Dr. Li finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left angrily.

Although he did not know this poison, he was still a doctor. It was not that he had not treated snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the village, but he had never seen such a sinister poison.

A poisonous mouth didn’t harm a person’s life. Wasn’t it evident that someone hated her rotten mouth?

Zhang Qiaozui and Gu Datian choked and watched helplessly as Dr. Li flicked his sleeves and left.

“What are you waiting for? Let’s go to town.” Zhang Qiaozui’s mouth felt even more painful.

The two of them packed up and quickly went to town. In town, they had also rented a small courtyard for their son to concentrate on his studies. Their daughter, Gu Qinghua, cared for their son’s daily needs.

When they arrived in town, they asked Gu Qinghua for food. They went to two medicine shops, but neither could cure them.

Zhang Qiaozui’s mouth was so swollen that she couldn’t even speak.

The two of them had no choice. They didn’t have any money to go to the county, so they could only go home and ask Dr. Li to prescribe medicine.
