The snow blocking the village entrance was more difficult to deal with than Jiang Ling had imagined. It was thick, hard, and plentiful. Even with de-icing agents, the pile of snow blocking the village entrance was still very difficult to handle.

But the workers didn't care. They knew the consequences if the snow wasn't cleared, so everyone silently continued with their work.

As she was working, Jiang Ling suddenly heard what sounded like voices coming from the other side.

Jiang Ling tentatively called out towards the other side, "Is someone on the other side?"

“It’s me, Shen Qianhe, your mother-in-law! Don’t worry, we’re helping you clear the snow! Lord Duan is here too!” Shen Qianhe’s voice came from the other side.

Jiang Ling was overjoyed to hear this, and she said to everyone, "Let's work harder, Lord Duan and Master Shen are both helping us!"

"Godmother, I'm here too!" Zhao Qianyu's voice rang out at this moment!

Jiang Ling was even happier when she heard this, and her hands moved much faster.

From dawn till dusk, the snow blocking the entrance to Lujia Village was finally cleared away by everyone's concerted efforts. When Jiang Ling saw Shen Qianhe, Lord Duan, and Zhao Qianyu on the other side, her nose tingled and her eyes reddened!

"Great!! Great, we're saved!" Everyone cheered as they saw the flattened village entrance.

Magistrate Duan rushed to Jiang Ling's side and asked, "How are you? Are you alright?"

Just as Jiang Ling was about to shake her head, the woman suddenly ran over. She was different from before; her eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles.

She knelt down in front of Jiang Ling with a thud and said, "You're a living Buddha! You really are a living Buddha! My...my...my daughter's eyes are healed! I...I'm kowtowing to you!"

As she spoke, the woman began to kowtow to Jiang Ling excitedly. Jiang Ling stood there awkwardly, and it took her several seconds to react. She quickly helped the woman up, saying polite things like "It's okay, it's alright."

Magistrate Duan, curious about Jiang Ling, said after seeing the woman off, "Her daughter got snow blindness the day before yesterday while watching the snow."

"Snow blindness? What kind of disease is that?" Magistrate Duan asked again, somewhat curious.

"Magistrate Duan, Master Shen, you've both worked hard! Come in and sit down, lest you catch a cold from the wind!" The village chief said hurriedly to Jiang Ling and Magistrate Duan, who were still standing there talking.

Everyone nodded and followed the village chief toward his house.

Shen Congxin looked around and, not seeing Jiang Yaojie, was about to speak when Jiang Ling smiled and said to her, "Congxin, go find Yaojie! He's home!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Congxin blushed immediately, acting coy and shy like a young girl. Shen Qianhe, however, laughed heartily, patted Shen Congxin's shoulder, and said, "Go on, you almost cried when you saw how thick the snow was just now, why aren't you in a hurry now?"

Shen Qianhe's words made Shen Congxin's face turn even redder. She stomped her foot, exclaimed "Ouch!", and ran away with a flushed face.

This scene, like a minor interlude, caused everyone present to burst into laughter.

"What happened to your forehead?" Magistrate Duan asked, his sharp gaze falling on Jiang Ling's forehead.

Seeing the sharp look on Magistrate Duan's face, Jiang Ling knew she couldn't escape the matter, so she casually recounted the whole process to him.

The more Magistrate Duan listened, the more his brows furrowed. After Jiang Ling finished speaking, Magistrate Duan remained silent for a long time before saying, "No wonder those refugees called you a living Bodhisattva. That's no exaggeration at all!"

After hearing this, Jiang Ling simply smiled faintly and said nothing more.

"Jiang, you have no idea, you've solved a major problem for me!" Magistrate Duan said solemnly, stroking his chin.

It turned out that a week ago, the Emperor issued an imperial edict requiring magistrates in various counties to properly resettle the displaced people. If they failed to do so, they would be punished for disobeying the imperial edict.

Upon receiving this imperial edict, almost every county magistrate was at their wits' end. Many of these refugees were desperate criminals who had risked their lives for life, and settling them in subordinate towns would only bring unnecessary trouble.

Magistrate Duan was delighted to hear the news. The people of Lujia Village had already resettled a large number of refugees. If he were to report this to the Emperor, he would probably be the first to do so!

Now that I've heard that Jiang Ling was injured while preparing winter clothes for these refugees, if I beautify the story a bit, His Majesty will definitely be overjoyed.

"By the way, Jiang, do you know what this snow blindness you mentioned is all about?" Magistrate Duan suddenly remembered the woman at the village entrance and quickly asked.

Jiang Ling then explained the causes and symptoms of snow blindness again. Magistrate Duan listened with great interest and quickly asked Zhao Liu, who was standing next to him, to write down the details of snow blindness.

Magistrate Duan then asked, "So, what method did you use to treat it?"

Jiang Ling's face flushed red. She looked around at the people and bit her lip, saying, "There are two methods. The first method is to use boiled and cooled milk, one drop at a time, with a few minutes between each application, for a total of five to six times! The other method, sir, is too embarrassing to mention!"

Everyone looked at Jiang Ling in surprise after hearing this, even the village chief cast a strange glance at her. At that moment, the village chief had just gone with others to warn people about snow blindness and hadn't heard what method was used to treat it.

Seeing Jiang Ling's flushed face, Magistrate Duan knew that she must have some unspeakable trouble. He didn't make things difficult for her, but simply nodded and said, "Alright, then I won't make things difficult for you. This method is also very good!"

The village chief wanted to invite Magistrate Duan and Master Shen to stay for a meal, but Magistrate Duan declined, citing business at the yamen. Master Shen also declined, saying he was busy with his daughter's wedding.

As she was leaving, Shen Congxin, her face and eyes red, placed a handkerchief in Jiang Yaojie's hand and said softly, "Take care of yourself! Don't encounter any more danger! I'll go to the temple tomorrow to get you a good luck charm!"

Seeing this inseparable young couple in front of her, Jiang Ling felt she had been fed a full dose of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

Zhao Qianyu, who was standing to the side, reminded Jiang Suihe, "It's cold, take care of yourself. I saw a white cloak at a clothing store a few days ago that would suit you perfectly. I'll buy it for you in a few days!"

Jiang Suihe bit her lip, revealing a shy and demure expression, and remained silent.

Jiang Ling felt even more helpless upon seeing this scene. Did these people even respect their mother?

Magistrate Duan looked at Jiang Ling with a worried expression and instructed her, "Be careful!" Then he got into the carriage and left Lujia Village.

Jiang Yaojie was also reluctant to part with Shen Congxin, and only returned home dejectedly after seeing Shen Congxin off at the village entrance.

Looking at Jiang Yaojie's appearance, Jiang Ling couldn't help but tease him, "Look at you! You two will be getting married in less than four months. Then you'll be inseparable every day and no one will care!"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yaojie pouted and said, "Mom, there are things you wouldn't understand!"
