Lin Ying looked at Su Yun, who was once again devastated, and at the people around her who had been roused by Cheng Jiaojiao's words, and couldn't help but smile again:

"First of all, Suyun herself, you should know that your body has been weak since childhood. The doctor who treated you before should have told you that this may be your only child."

It was your own inability to fight for a better life for yourself, your inability to resist the life you had before, that led to your long-term malnutrition, which eventually resulted in the miscarriage.

You can blame yourself for your incompetence, resent your in-laws for their heartlessness, resent your own family for their cruelty and neglect, and even resent your husband for leaving you to face all of this alone. This matter has nothing to do with me. If you have resentment and want to vent, don't come to me. I'm not a punching bag, and I won't accept it.

After saying that, Lin Ying didn't look at Su Yun, who was already slumped over there, but instead looked at the others.

"Secondly, after all the groundwork you've laid for me, if I suddenly went to her and told her that the baby in her womb had died, would you really believe me? No, you wouldn't. You would only say disgusting things to me. But when the problem occurs, you would say it was because I said those words that this happened."

So even if someone harmed her, it wasn't me, it was you!

Afterwards, Lin Ying looked at Cheng Jiaojiao and said, "And you, not to mention that she hasn't finished her postpartum confinement and just had surgery, so it's not suitable for her to come out now. What were you thinking when you told her that I have medical skills?"

Given her current situation, if she develops any negative thoughts, can you bear the responsibility?

Cheng Jiaojiao's face darkened, and she stammered, "What, what does this have to do with me? You were the one who stood by and watched her die. It's also because she's not well."

Lin Ying didn't want to say anything more to such people. Instead, she looked at the crowd and said, "I forgot to remind you all that there are sick people everywhere on the streets. Even when I was a doctor, I didn't have the habit of taking everyone's pulse. I have no obligation to treat you unless you step into my Lin Family Clinic. In fact, even if you go to a Western hospital, if you don't pay the fees, even if you die there, do you think they'll take care of you?"

Doctors are human too, not saints to ordinary people; their radiance cannot reach everyone. Even saints want their followers to create a golden statue for them! Don't take yourself too seriously, and don't treat everyone else like fools.

Lin Ying spoke the last sentence to Cheng Jiaojiao. After saying this, Lin Ying turned to Li Yue'e and said, "Sister-in-law, would you like to come inside and sit for a while?"

Li Yue'e waved her hand: "Next time, it's almost noon."

Lin Ying looked up and saw that it was already past ten o'clock. "Okay then, next time, sister-in-law, just come to my house."

After saying that, Lin Ying stopped looking at the crowd and turned to go home.

Back home, Lin Ying looked at the cartload of timber on the ground and had no choice but to manually saw the timber into planks again, then sprinkle salt water on the planks and steam them.

Lin Ying spent a whole day just processing the wooden boards. The next day, she cut the boards and began assembling them.

Finally, on the third day, Lin Ying finished making the table saw.

After that, Lin Ying spent three more days making a handcart. This way, she could collect a lot of Ula grass in one trip, and even borrowed water buckets from Li Yue'e's family when fetching water, so she could push four buckets of water at a time, which made things much easier.

Seeing this, Li Yue'e also started using Lin Ying's handcart to fetch water every day.

After preparing the grass and loess, Lin Ying decided to go up and check the roof first. If the main beam of the house was wide enough, she would not use planks but instead use whole pieces of wood to cover the roof.

However, Lin Ying never expected that when she stood on the scaffold she had made to dismantle the roof, she heard a loud "bang" and the roof on the right side collapsed completely.

Because the noise was so loud, even Li Yue'e ran out of her house and rushed towards Lin Ying's house, asking, "What happened?"

Lin Ying climbed down from the shelf, glanced at Li Yue'e, and then shook her head: "I don't know. I plan to repair the roof. It seems like the back collapsed when I was working on the roof."

Li Yue'e looked at Lin Ying in disbelief: "It collapsed? You used too much force?"

Li Yue'e knew how strong Lin Ying was. Could it be that she lost control of her strength and knocked Lin Ying down?

Lin Ying was both amused and exasperated: "How could that be? I've only managed to get this much, and I haven't even gotten to the rest yet."

After saying that, Lin Ying was about to go in to check the situation when Li Yue'e stopped her: "Don't do anything rash. Half of the house has collapsed, and we don't even know the situation yet. Don't go in. Wait a minute, I'll come over and lend you a hand."

Lin Ying was very grateful to Li Yue'e. To be honest, the reason she felt so comfortable here was because of her good neighbor, Li Yue'e.

When the two arrived at the site of the collapsed wall, Li Yue'e couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "How come there's so much water here? It's soaked through half of the wall. It's a good thing you moved out, otherwise, this house might have collapsed any day now."

Lin Ying couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

The house here is right next to the toilet, so it gets damp. That's why it wasn't noticed for a while. If Lin Ying hadn't cleared away the grass in front of the house, causing it to lose its balance, it wouldn't have collapsed so suddenly.

However, it was only a matter of time before the house collapsed.

Seeing this, Li Yue'e couldn't help but say, "It must be because the rainwater from the mountain couldn't flow away and accumulated here. This house is more damp than other houses, so it's been empty all this time. We were in such a hurry at the time, and this was the only house we had, so we moved you here. Now it seems that this house is the problem at all. Sister, you have to go to the logistics department and find Zhang Shanlin, and ask him to find you a different place!"

Lin Ying nodded in agreement. With the rain eroding the water so badly, it was very unsafe to sleep at night.

Without hesitation, Lin Ying went directly to the military base to find Zhang Shanlin.

When Zhang Shanlin heard that his house had collapsed, he couldn't help but feel a lingering fear and was also glad that Lin Ying had moved out. Otherwise, if something had happened, his position as the head of logistics would have been in jeopardy.

However, when Lin Ying asked if it was possible to change houses, Zhang Shanlin was a little embarrassed: "Comrade Lin Ying, it's not that I don't want to change houses for you, but as you know, most of our troops have been transferred to support other units, and the remaining personnel are on duty around the clock. There's simply no time to build more military dependent housing. Several battalion commanders have already submitted their applications to accompany their families, but they've been put on hold because of housing issues. The specific time for resettlement will depend on the actual situation."

Lin Ying felt helpless upon hearing this. She was fine living in the kitchen shed now, but there was no way to make ends meet in the winter.

There was no one to even repair the roof before, so it's definitely not possible to rebuild the house now.

“Since that’s the case, how about this? That spot is where the rainwater is stored, which is why this is happening. We have rocks on the mountain. Can I apply for some cement, lime, and sand? I’ll repair that area and let the water flow away, and then there shouldn’t be any problem.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shanlin immediately replied, "No problem! Here's what we'll do: I'll write you a note right now, and tomorrow when the cafeteria goes to get supplies, they'll have them buy the items and deliver them directly to your home! Go back and see what the specifics are."
