"Doctor Yun, I'm not feeling unwell anywhere. I'm just here to sell herbal medicine."
"What medicinal herbs?" Doctor Yun raised his head and looked at Lin Shuang curiously.
"Ginseng." Lin Shuang smiled slightly.
Doctor Yun immediately straightened up a lot, "Bring it out so I can see it."
Lin Shuang took it out from her backpack and carried it on her back so that no one could see that she was actually in the space.
When Doctor Yun opened it, his eyes widened and his hands trembled slightly.
"This ginseng is a thousand-year-old ginseng! Look, it has become a human shape. Did you dig it yourself?" Doctor Yun took a look.
"Yes, I dug it out completely."
"That's great! I haven't seen such fresh and good ginseng in a long time. How much do you want for it?"
"How much can Doctor Yun offer?" Lin Shuang only knew that ginseng was valuable, but he didn't know how much it could be sold for.
"This thousand-year-old ginseng could probably be sold for over a thousand taels, or even two thousand taels, in the capital. However, we're just a small town here, so the most I can offer is 900 taels."
Doctor Yun was not lying. Most people could not afford so much money, especially since he was the owner of Jishi Medical Clinic.
"Okay, I believe Doctor Yun will not lie to me.
By the way, try to exchange it for silver notes, and fifty taels for small change."
"Okay." Doctor Yun went to the backyard.
After a while, he came back.
The two counted the silver in front of each other, "Doctor Yun, you go ahead and do your work, we will leave first." Lin Shuang smiled.
After getting so much silver, the group headed back.
"Zhou, we're here. We can handle the transfer now, right?"
"Okay, let's go to the government office together."
The group went to the yamen and after paying the silver, the government seal was placed on the house deed.
Lin Shuang has her own house here.
"Mom, we have our own house in town now." Xiao Jingyu was very excited. Things at home would get better and better.
"Yeah, we should go back."
"Sister Lan, thank you for accompanying me for a walk today. When I move to town, we can talk all night long." Lin Shuang said to Mei Lan with a smile.
Mei Lan smiled and said, "That's great! I'll definitely come find you. I just don't know if your husband agrees."
"He will definitely agree. I am the one who makes the decisions at home." Lin Shuang shouldn't worry about this issue at all.
"Okay, when you live in town, we'll have a party. We need to prepare for our recognition of our relationship now."
"good."
Lin Shuang took the children and bought some pork and pastries back home.
After returning home, the two children waited at the door for Lin Shuang and the others to come back.
"Stepmother, you're back." Xiao Ce pulled the ox cart, and Xiao Wangshu helped Xiao Nanxin down from the cart.
Xiao Jingyu jumped down by himself and took down everything in the car.
The few of them entered the house. Lin Shuang gave Xiao Ce 30 coins and said, "Xiao Ce, return the ox cart to the village chief."
After Xiao Ce took the copper coin, he drove the ox cart to the village chief's house.
He came back not long after.
"Stepmother, Dad fainted again." Xiao Ce was a little worried about Xiao Yi's condition. After all, only his mother knew the situation clearly.
Hearing this, Lin Shuang's face showed no surprise. She comforted Xiao Ce, "Xiao Ce, it's okay. Your father's illness is not fully recovered yet. He sleeps for a long time every day. Don't worry." She touched Xiao Ce's head by the way.
When Xiao Ce heard his stepmother say this, the heavy stone in his heart finally relaxed.
He smiled shyly at Lin Shuang, "Thank you, stepmother."
"Why are you being so polite to me? Oh, by the way, I have some good news for you. We sold the ginseng we dug in the mountains today and bought a house in town."
"Stepmother, you actually bought a house in town!" Xiao Ce was quite shocked when he heard this. Stepmother made money really fast. Back then, stepmother was bought by father for 3 taels of silver.
“Yes, I plan to open a shop in town and ask Aunt Li and her family to run it. I will provide the goods and they will sell them.
Then, I plan to buy another house in town where our family can live and send you guys to school."
"Mom, wuwuwu, how can you be so nice to me." Xiao Jingyu hugged Lin Shuang's thighs directly.
"Jingyu, you are my good boy."
"Don't worry, mother. When I grow up, I will buy you a bigger house and have many maids to serve you."
"Okay, wait until you grow up." Lin Shuang couldn't help but tell a lie.
Xiao Wangshu couldn't quite believe it. The house in the town was bought just like that. Today's stepmothers were really too powerful.
"By the way, I bought some cakes for you guys in town. Share them."
The children then divided the cakes among themselves, leaving some for Lin Shuang and Xiao Yi.
Lin Shuang went straight to the kitchen to cook. Because of the house buying matter today, she came back later than usual.
Several children were whispering on the side, and Xiao Jingyu wanted to praise Lin Shuang to the sky in front of Xiao Ce and Xiao Wangshu.
After Lin Shuang finished making lunch, she brought it to the table and went to Xiao Yi's room.
After patting Xiao Yi gently, Xiao Yi slowly woke up, "Lin Shuang, what's wrong?"
Xiao Yi looked at Lin Shuang in confusion, his whole body was dazed, and his eyes were clear. Seeing this, Lin Shuang reached out and touched Xiao Yi's head.
Xiao Yi was completely shocked, "You, what are you doing?"
The aggrieved expression seems like someone has been bullied by others.
"I didn't do anything. I just saw that your hair was messy." Lin Shuang didn't blush or feel nervous even when her confession was exposed.
"Oh." Xiao Yi reluctantly believed it.
"I'm calling you to get up and eat, do you want to eat?" Lin Shuang no longer planned to use the potion on Xiao Yi. Since Xiao Yi could usually stay awake, he might as well eat with them.
"Yes." When Xiao Yi said this, he looked at Lin Shuang with some resentment. What do you mean by whether I should eat it or not? If I don't eat it, does that mean I will become an immortal?
Lin Shuang helped Xiao Yi up and was about to put shoes on him. She didn't think too much about it. When she was at home, she would take care of her parents when they were sick, and putting shoes on them was a very common thing.
The tips of Xiao Yi's ears turned slightly red, and he said righteously, "No, I can do it myself." Lin Shuang looked at Xiao Yi strangely.
After putting on his shoes, Lin Shuang helped Xiao Yi out.
Several children immediately gathered around.
"Daddy, you're awake. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Fortunately, it's much better now than before, thanks to the medicine your mother gave me. Otherwise, Daddy wouldn't have recovered so quickly."
Xiao Yi directly mentioned Lin Shuang's contribution, because he could see that among the children, only Jing Yu was sincere to Lin Shuang, while the other children still had grudges deep in their hearts.
However, Lin Shuang is no longer the same Lin Shuang as before. She has come to save them, so he cannot treat her like this. Now that he knows the truth, he cannot pretend that he doesn't know.
