Chapter 216 Lin Yu invited the third elder
Seeing Lin Ruoli crying, her mother-in-law's expression eased a little.
"You still know how to look ugly and cry, so there is still hope."
"Li'er, remember, we can do what we want, but we can't show it on our faces, okay?"
"Look at you like this. If you see them again in the future, they will be wary of you and hate you without you having to say anything."
"Starting today, let's add an extra course."
Lin Ruoli opened her tearful eyes and looked towards her mother-in-law, "Grandma, what are you learning?"
"Just learn how to smile. How to smile sweetly, how to smile adorably, how to smile with grievance, so that people want to protect you and want to die for you."
Lin Ruoli's eyes lit up instantly, "Okay, I'll learn! I will definitely study hard!"
The mother-in-law finally showed a satisfied smile, "This is my good pear."

Lin Yu took the three elders and rode back to the farm at full speed.
Lin Yu still has a good impression of the Third Elder who once saved his life.
He was also very polite when facing the third elder.
But his mother's condition was so urgent that he was anxious, so he kept urging her along the way.
Fortunately, the Third Elder was a really nice person. Even though he was urged repeatedly, he did not show any displeasure and was always smiling.
Now that they had reached the gate of the manor, Lin Yu immediately dismounted and walked to the side of the carriage at the back, urging again, "Third Elder, we're here, let's go in quickly!"
The third elder lifted the curtain of the carriage and walked out.
Looking at Lin Yu, who was filled with anxiety, the Third Elder smiled again and said, "I've already told you before that since your mother's condition has been going on for a few months, it doesn't make any difference whether I come earlier or later. You don't need to be so anxious at all."
This was not the first time that the Third Elder had said such words, but it was of no use.
Lin Yu was still very anxious.
"Third Elder, please hurry up! Isn't it said that the longer a disease like this is delayed, the smaller the chance of recovery? I'm really worried that if it goes on like this, my mother will really..."
As he spoke, Lin Yu's eyes turned red and his voice choked again.
Ever since he could remember, Lin Yu had always been a fearless person.
But when he saw his mother lying on the bed like a living dead, he always wanted to cry and couldn't control himself at all.
He didn't even dare to think about what he would do if something really happened to his mother.
That's his mother!
It’s the person who gave birth to him and raised him!
No matter how she treated Lin Siqiong and her daughter or Yu Tingwan and her daughter, she was always very good to him, very good!
How could he say so many heartbreaking words to her for the sake of others?
If he hadn't said those words, would his mother not have become like this today?
Seeing that Lin Yu was about to cry, the third elder sighed, got off the carriage decisively, and entered the manor with Lin Yu.
As soon as he entered the village, Lin Yu felt that something was wrong.
Why are these people looking at me with eyes full of fear?
Also, where is the village headman?
Although he felt a little strange, the most important thing in Lin Yu's heart was his mother, so he did not stop to ask.
After running all the way, we finally arrived at the house where Mrs. Lin lived.
As soon as I entered, I saw the little maid.
The little maid also heard the noise and looked over.
The next moment, the little maid fell to her knees on the ground with a thud, "Master, you are finally back!"
Her actions startled Lin Yu, "What's wrong? Did something happen to my mother?"
"Madam is fine now—"
Hearing the words "it's okay", Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
I'm glad you're okay!
I'm glad you're okay!
"Third Elder, please come in and take a look at my mother!"
At Lin Yu's urging, the third elder entered the inner room.
As soon as I entered, I saw Mrs. Lin lying on the bed, her eyes open, staring at the curtains above the bed without blinking.
The last time he saw Mrs. Lin, she was still the Marquis's wife.
At that time, she was rich and powerful, and lived in a high and mighty position.
Only half a year has passed, but everything has changed.
She is now very thin, with deeply sunken cheeks, prominent cheekbones, and eyes that are so big that they are a little scary.
At this moment, those eyes were staring straight at the top of the tent, and no one knew what he was thinking.
As the third elder approached the bed, he smelled a faint stench of decay.
He understood and was neither surprised nor disgusted.
But Lin Yu's face darkened.
Lin Yu's reaction was not disdain or disgust, but anger.
He turned his head and looked directly at the little girl kneeling on the ground, "What's the matter? Didn't you take good care of my mother?"
Did you poop in bed without changing clothes?
Otherwise why does it stink so much?
The little maidservant shook her head repeatedly, "Sir, no, it's not me. I really took good care of Madam! But now, for some reason, Madam's skin has started to rot, piece by piece, and there's nothing I can do!"
"Rotten?" Lin Yu was stunned. "How is this possible?"
Lin Yu knew that meat would rot and corpses would rot.
But his mother was still alive, how could she rot?
"That's nonsense, utter nonsense! You must have failed to take good care of my mother—"
"Mr. Lin," the Third Elder interrupted Lin Yu. "She didn't lie, nor did she fail to take good care of your mother. Paralysis among those present isn't just a matter of lying there unable to move. If you lie down for too long, you'll develop bedsores, which means they'll fester over and over again."
Since the Third Elder said so, the rumor was naturally believed.
But he still didn't understand.
"But before, the daughter of the King of Huainan was also seriously ill and lay in bed for a long time, and I've never heard of such a situation!"
"I've also seen the girl from Huainan you mentioned, and I know her situation. The reason she didn't have this situation was because, except when she was sleeping, she was always accompanied by more than a dozen maids, big and small, who constantly massaged her, penetrated her, helped her exercise, and took her out to bask in the sun. She also took medicine, acupuncture, and medicinal baths, without missing a single thing.
But judging by your mother's current situation, she probably hasn't done any of these things. It's quite normal for her to be like this with only a little maid serving her.
You should be thankful that the weather is cold now. If it were a hot summer day, her bedsores would probably be infested with maggots."
Just by listening to the third elder's description, Lin Yu's face became extremely ugly.
Although he didn't see the scene with his own eyes, he could imagine it in his mind just by listening to it.
When Lin Yu thought of that scene and that smell, he felt like vomiting.
But while I felt like vomiting, I also felt a little relieved!
Luckily it’s not summer yet!
Fortunately, he invited the third elder!
Otherwise, if his mother really fell into that state, he couldn't even imagine how much pain she would be in.
His mother is such a clean person!
"Third Elder, please stop talking and go see my mother!"
The third elder nodded and stepped forward to take the patient's pulse.
While the Third Elder was taking his pulse, Lin Yu stood by anxiously, not even daring to breathe too loudly for fear of disturbing the Third Elder.
After a long while, he saw the third elder withdraw his hand.
"How is it?" Lin Yu asked hurriedly.
"She was stimulated first, and then poisoned, so she became like this."
"I can only try my best to treat him, but it's hard to say to what extent he can recover."
When Lin Yu heard this, he showed a happy expression.
Since the Third Elder said so, it means that my mother can be cured!
And it can recover well!
"Then I'll trouble you, Third Elder." Lin Yu said gratefully, "As long as you can cure my mother, I will give you any amount of silver you ask for."
"There's no need for a consultation fee, but Mr. Lin will be responsible for the cost of the medicinal materials himself."
Lin Yu was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."
Yaowang Valley has been doing good deeds over the years. It is common for it to provide free medicine to poor families without charging any consultation fees.
But Lin Yu knew clearly in his heart that the Third Elder did not want his medical fee now because of Yu Tingwan and Yu Youning.
"I'll write a prescription now, and buy the herbs first!" said the third elder again.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu hurriedly took the third elder out.
After the Third Elder finished writing the prescription, Lin Yu took the prescription and left the room. "Where's the village head? Ask him to come over!"
The old women looked at each other, each wanting to say something but stopping themselves.
Looking at their expressions, Lin Yu remembered the people he met when he first entered the village. They all had similar expressions.
He knew that something must have happened to the village head, but he still felt angry.
"If you have something to say, just say it directly. Why are you dilly-dallying?"
Seeing that Lin Yu was angry, everyone dared not hesitate any longer.
"A few days after the young master left, two people came. After they arrived, they beat up the village head and then locked him up. They said that if we didn't keep an eye on the village head and dared to let him out, they would lock us up too..."
Lin Yu's eyebrows were twisted into knots. "Two people came? What kind of people? Forget it, he is locked up there, take me over to take a look."
The old woman couldn't explain it clearly at first, but when she heard Lin Yu told her not to say anything, she immediately felt relieved and took Lin Yu to the woodshed where the village head was imprisoned.
As soon as the woodshed was opened, an unpleasant smell hit me in the face.
The village head had his arms tied with iron chains. As soon as he saw Lin Yu, he immediately got up and knelt on the ground.
"Master! Please, Master, give me a quick death!"
"I'm worse than an animal! I deserve to die! I've harmed my wife!"
"I deserve to die, please, sir, let me die!"
