The situation outside is getting worse and worse, and it looks like a war is about to break out. She only cares about how the village construction is going, how the artillery and gunpowder are coming along, and how accurate the people recruited for the village guard are.

However, the matter of Matchmaker Wang served as a reminder to her.

In just two days, Lin Jinyue convened a meeting with everyone in the village.

She chattered away, her words full of deception: "As you all probably know, my mother is a very skilled doctor; one of our ancestors was a royal physician."

These words immediately silenced everyone.

Everyone was curious about what Lin Jinyue wanted to say.

Lin Jinyue continued, "My great-grandfather said that he read in a medical book that if you have children too early, it may damage your health, and you will live 20 or 30 years less than the average person. Moreover, your old age will be particularly difficult, and some people will not even be able to walk."

Lin Jinyue deliberately exaggerated the consequences.

After all, having children too early is really bad for your health.

Lin Jinyue suggested that it's best for women to get married after the age of 20, and the villagers seemed quite accepting of this.

When did Er Ya say she missed something?

When he first arrived in the village, he did have some doubts, but seeing how convinced everyone seemed, he didn't say anything. However, he started to wonder if he should postpone his daughter's marriage.

After all, Jiang Yun's medical skills are truly miraculous.

One pulse reading and I'll expose everything about you.

Lin Jinyue dismissed everyone, leaving only a few key people for a meeting.

Lin Jinyue said, "Chen Mazi, you know the people here, so I really can't trouble others with this matter. I'm thinking of recruiting strong laborers from nearby villages to help with the work. It'll be 600 coins a day, with extra pay for overtime, and three meals a day will be provided."

Chen Mazi hesitated for a moment, "This...does it really have to be done? It's all that old woman Wang's fault. Our village's reputation isn't good these days, and I'm afraid something bad will happen."
