The old village chief sighed, "With a family like this in the village, what right do I have to be angry with others? I won't say anymore, it's all tears if I talk about it too much."

Yu Mingxiang smiled but did not reply.

Later that evening, while she was seeing patients at the clinic, she heard the follow-up to the story.

It is said that Li Guihua's attempt to steal a chicken backfired. She went to the brigade headquarters and made a scene, but not only did she not get any more grain, she also lost the grain that was originally allocated to her family. Zhao Tiezhu was so angry that he caught her and gave her a good beating.

"I heard that his nose was knocked crooked, his face was covered in blood, and he screamed so loudly that the whole alley could hear him."

"We haven't thanked Dr. Yu for the food yet. My family received about ten kilograms per person!"

"This is the first time I've ever seen the gravy awarded for this. I wonder if it will taste even better. I'll cook some later..."

"..."

The clinic's prices were cheap, and the villagers already had a good impression of Yu Mingxiang. In addition, the villagers received tangible benefits from the grain distribution, which further increased their goodwill towards her.

In just one or two months, Yu Mingxiang's family had completely established themselves in Hedao Village.

As for Zhao Tiezhu's family and Wu Xiangju...

Yu Mingxiang doesn't think she's perfect, and that she can't make everyone like her.

Especially the Zhao Tiezhu family, they are hidden enemies, just waiting to explode!

After the grain was distributed, the autumn harvest was considered over. The old village chief took out the permit for clearing the mountains and led the village's male laborers to clear the mountains.

The harvest from the mountain is scored separately, and the surplus from the following year is also scored separately.

Hearing that potatoes would be planted as a trial crop next year, the brothers Qin Weiguo and Qin Xiangdong gladly went.

For a time, the men of Hedao Village were busy in the wasteland at the foot of the mountain, and Yu Mingxiang and Sun Fenglan also resumed their herb-gathering activities.

As more and more people came to the clinic for treatment, the medicines she received from the town hospital were running out. Yu Mingxiang began to try prescribing traditional Chinese medicine for people. If they had a clay pot at home, they would take it home to decoct the medicine. If they didn't have a clay pot, they would leave it at the clinic and have their daughter-in-law decoct it for them.

Gradually, Yu Mingxiang and Sun Fenglan ran out of Chinese medicinal herbs.

She started teaching the women in the village to recognize medicinal herbs, and when they went up the mountain to pick mushrooms and pine cones, she would also help them pick some medicinal herbs, which the clinic would pay for.

It was a side job, and it also provided an extra source of income, so the women in the village had no reason to refuse.

Soon, even people from the neighboring village began to send medicine to the clinic one after another. Yu Mingxiang had enough medicinal herbs, and her daughter-in-law Xue Ru was more than a month pregnant, so she stopped going up the mountain and started staying with her daughter-in-law, seeing patients at the clinic all day.

While the family of four was living a prosperous life in the countryside, Qin Yuzhu, who had thought that staying in Beijing would bring her a good life, found that things were not as comfortable as she had imagined.

Ever since Wang Dahua beat her up in the street, she now has a legitimate reason to teach her daughter-in-law a lesson, unleashing all her evil mother-in-law skills.

She found a reason to teach Qin Yuzhu a lesson, but couldn't find one...

Even breathing was wrong for Qin Yuzhu. In any case, Wang Dahua couldn't stand Qin Yuzhu no matter what, just thinking about the dowry of 880 yuan.

The relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is practically at its most heated; they argue every day so loudly that the whole street can hear them. As for Wu Yong…

When Wu Yong first married Qin Yuzhu, the woman he had always longed for, he was genuinely delighted for a while, but...

It'll only last a short while!

After the initial novelty wore off, Wu Yong's personality became stagnant, and he started spending all his time running around outside.

That day, Qin Yuzhu had another fight with Wang Dahua and was beaten black and blue. When she saw Wu Yong coming back drunk from outside, she immediately went up to him.

"All you do all day is drink, drink, drink! Aren't you afraid of drinking yourself to death?!"

She grabbed Wu Yong's arm and said with a look of disgust, "Are you going to do anything about your mother? If you don't take care of her and let her bully me, we can't live like this anymore!"

Wu Yong was already drunk and his eyes were blurry. When he saw Qin Yuzhu with her bruised and swollen face, he was so frightened that he reached out and shoved her.

"Damn it, where did this monster come from? It scared the hell out of me!"

Qin Yuzhu was pushed to the ground, and when she realized what was happening, she exploded.

"Wu Yong, you scumbag! How dare you hit me!"

She scrambled to her feet and lunged at Wu Yong, shouting, "I'll fight you to the death!"

Wu Yong stumbled from the tackle and fell against the corner of the table with a loud yelp.

Wang Dahua rushed over when she heard the commotion and was also furious.

"You little bitch, you dare hit my son? I'll fight you to the death!"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law instantly started fighting.

Wu Yong rubbed his sore forehead as he got up, and upon seeing this scene, his eyes widened in surprise.
