Most rural people in this era were very simple, and Pei's mother never thought that Jiang Xi would lie.

Jiang Xi is a high school student, which makes him very impressive in the eyes of rural people. If he could go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, he would be a college student.

It is normal to know some medical skills.

Moreover, Jiang Xi was taught by an old doctor when he was still studying, so he must be very good, which is why he asked the old doctor for guidance. You have to know that this industry is all about apprenticeship, and teaching the apprentice will starve the master to death. How many people would be willing to pass on the family skills to others?

So when Jiang Xi was adding firewood to the stove, Pei's mother suppressed her bitterness and quickly stopped him: "Xiao Xi, you take care of the medicine, I'll take care of these!"

"No problem, I can do it." Jiang Xi shook his head and refused. The farmers were reluctant to use coal, so they used wood in the stove. The smoke was a bit bigger, but the fire was very strong. They took out the burnt ashes and put in new wood. It was a very simple operation.

But she was still pushed away by Pei's mother: "No, no, your hands are not meant for this, I'll do it, I'll do it."

Jiang Xi was squeezed aside and had to step aside and wait for her to finish.

The potion was boiled for an hour and turned into a thick brown color. It accumulated in the bowl and the bottom of the bowl could not be seen. She carried the bowl to the main room. Li Aimei, whose complexion had improved a lot, was lying there weakly. When she saw her coming and wanted to get up, her legs went weak and she sat back down.

"Please sit down." Jiang Xi put the bowl on the table beside him. "You can drink it if it's a little cold. Drink it twice a day, morning and evening. Come back tomorrow morning."

With no points and no money, I can only let her drink the medicine a few more times for the time being. Although the effect of the medicine won't be as good later, it's better than not drinking it.

"Okay!" Li Aimei nodded repeatedly. Meeting her gaze, she said shyly, "I, I only have 60 cents. It's probably not enough for the medicine. Can you give me the rest later?"

Jiang Xi said softly, "It's okay, that's enough."

Overall, I completed the system's tasks and earned 20 points. I only spent 15 points to treat her illness, so I still earned 5 points, which is half a pound of meat.

Li Aimei was overjoyed at once. She knew very well that this money was definitely not enough. She was poisoned, and going to the town clinic would cost at least two yuan. Sixty cents was not even enough to buy medicine.

But she couldn't give it to him now, so she could only accept Jiang Xi's kindness. She wanted to live!

For this, Li Aimei knelt down on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you very much!"

This fight scared Jiang Xi. In her previous life, she cured many people, but they were young and everyone just expressed their gratitude or sent her banners.

It won't be like this.

She quickly helped him up: "No need to be like this, get up and talk."

Li Aimei was helped to stand up and then sat back in the chair. The chair had a backrest and she leaned back comfortably.

After she calmed down, Jiang Xi slowly said, "Under normal circumstances, it's just a little bit of rotten fish and shrimp, and it's far from being this serious. It's just that your body is too weak, and your stomach is already in bad condition due to long-term hunger, so it's like this. You must eat better in the future and take good care of your stomach. If your stomach really collapses, no medicine can cure it, and you will be even more miserable."

Although everyone is hungry these days and many people have stomach problems to varying degrees, there are probably not many people around here with such serious problems.

If gastrointestinal problems are not treated properly, they may turn into cancer, and the patient will suffer terribly. When Jiang Xi was alive, gastric cancer had not yet been conquered. In the late stages, patients looked emaciated, could not eat, and were bedridden in extreme pain.

Li Aimei's face froze, and she nodded hesitantly: "I understand."

"If a dog bites you, you can't bite back, but you can hit her back. Hit her until she's scared and won't dare to bite you again. Otherwise, you'll be bitten to death by her." Jiang Xi couldn't help but say one more sentence.

Life is so hard for women in this era, but she has to rely on the Pei family to survive for the time being. She has no spare energy to rescue them and can only give them a few reminders.

Li Aimei was stunned for a moment, and the next second she saw Pei's mother coming over. She looked at her in panic and lowered her head.

Teaching a daughter-in-law to beat her mother-in-law was seen by her own mother-in-law!

Will anything happen to this young doctor?

But Mother Pei looked natural and spoke in a gentle tone, "Xiaoxi, do you still have this medicine?"

Jiang Xi had never expected this. She and Pei's mother were not a traditional mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship, so she stretched her waist calmly and relaxed her tense and tired body: "Yes, just keep it, mother, I'm a little tired, I'll go back to the house first, Xisheng's wife will be almost ready after she rests for a while."

"Okay, go ahead. The third child doesn't have to watch over you all the time. Just take a nap if you're tired." Mother Pei said. When she saw her daughter-in-law come in, she was about to go back to the kitchen to prepare medicine. She turned around and saw Li Aimei staring at her. She wondered, "Xisheng, why are you looking at me like that?"

Li Aimei lowered her eyes and shook her head in envy: "No, nothing."

Mother Pei stared at her for two seconds and whispered, "You should be more careful. Xisheng's mother is not even as tall as you."

Li Aimei's heart moved slightly and she clenched her hands nervously.

Mother Pei didn't know what to say. She made a cup of sugar water for her and another cup for her daughter-in-law, added an extra spoonful of sugar, and after sending them to the room, she went to the kitchen again.

Li Aimei was left sitting alone in the chair for a long time, until the sun was about to set. Her stomach finally felt better and her strength returned a lot. She ran to say goodbye to Jiang Xi and Pei's mother, and walked back like a ghost.

As usual, Xu Cui came back a little early to cook. With so many people in the family, cooking takes a lot of time.

But on the way back, she ran into Xisheng's mother, whose eyes immediately lit up and she took the initiative to approach her: "Auntie Fen, how is your daughter-in-law?"

Xisheng's mother frowned and said, "I don't know. That bastard is very tough. He should be fine now, right?"

Xu Cui's eyes darkened. This was not the answer she wanted to hear. She deliberately said, "Hey, I didn't expect my sister-in-law to be so capable? Then your daughter-in-law should be able to do the job, right?"

Xisheng's mother curled her lips: "How can it be so fast?"

Xu Cui was surprised, and then said in a voice that was not loud but just loud enough for the people walking beside her to hear: "My mother-in-law has always praised my sister-in-law for her ability, and I thought she would be able to cure it. But now I have spent money and still can't cure her, and she is suffering. It's really terrible..."

Xisheng's mother has always been a person who likes to take advantage of others. Many people don't want to deal with her because she will always argue and make trouble even if no one pays attention to her.

Now, when she accidentally heard Xu Cui's mumbling, Xisheng's mother's eyes lit up. She insisted on having He Jun's wife treat him in the afternoon just for the pension, and she heard that the money was not small.

Her husband died early, her only son was a good-for-nothing, and her daughter-in-law couldn't give birth to a son.

She was always worried and wanted to change her daughter-in-law, but she had no money. If she could get a little more money, wouldn't she be able to change her daughter-in-law to a better one? The current one was tall, but always timid, not quick in doing things, and even made her son dizzy. She couldn't keep it.

As Xisheng's mother thought about it, her expression changed from indifference to panic. She pretended to be surprised and said loudly, "Oh, come to think of it, my daughter-in-law is still with Sister Guizhi. Sister Guizhi said her daughter-in-law is amazing. I have to go and see if she's cured. It's been so long!"

Many people from Peijia Village were on the road. After hearing what Xisheng Niang said, they were all a little surprised: "Xisheng Niang, what are you talking about? What are you curing?"

Xisheng's mother said, "I don't know what my daughter-in-law ate. She is vomiting and having diarrhea. She is almost vomiting bile. She looks like she is dying. Sister Guizhi said that her daughter-in-law can be cured. She also guaranteed that she can be cured. I thought it was too late to go to the town, so I sent her there. I am going to check on her now."

Xu Cui quietly stepped aside, listening to what Xisheng's mother said, grinning silently.

However, Auntie Lanhua, who had a good relationship with Pei's mother, was suspicious: "Did Guizhi really say that? Impossible! Yesterday I heard her say with my own ears that her daughter-in-law could cure a dislocation!"

"That's right, I haven't heard of it either!"

"Being a doctor is no small matter. I saw your daughter-in-law this afternoon and she was very ill. How could she recover so quickly? How could Guizhi say that?"

Xisheng's mother put her hands on her hips and said confidently, "Don't disbelieve me, Guizhi, the eldest daughter-in-law, come here and testify. Did your mother-in-law say that?"

Xu Cui, who wanted to watch the show, froze. She tried to avoid it, but when Xisheng's mother called out, everyone's eyes focused on her. Her face was stiff, but at this time she could only bite the bullet and nod: "I told you so."

Auntie Lanhua had a gloomy face but said nothing more. No matter how much she said, she could never compare with her daughter-in-law.

Others who heard it also believed.

"Yes! I'm talking about mine. I'm not making it up. My own daughter-in-law has testified to it!" Xisheng's mother was very proud. She looked at them and invited them warmly: "If you have nothing to do, come with me to see the doctor. If he can really cure it, then our village has a great doctor. In the future, we don't have to go to the town clinic for headaches and fevers, right?"

Someone testified that it was only when the noise started that it was easier to ask for money.

A great doctor really makes many people excited: "Okay, let's go and take a look."

Xu Cui looked at the crowd of witnesses, feeling a little heavy in her heart, but also a little expectant. Suddenly, her arm tightened, and Auntie Lanhua pulled her, saying with an unpleasant face, "Mrs. Deming, why don't you go and see what the brother-in-law your mother-in-law praised is like."

Xu Cui's face turned dark.

There were quite a few people in the group, about seven or eight women. Except for Aunt Lanhua, most of the others liked to gossip with others on a daily basis.

This time I came here not only to see the great doctor that Xisheng's mother mentioned, but also to see the excitement.

We are from the same village, so naturally we know who Xisheng's mother is.

Xu Cui had been dragged along all the way, and had already given up, and boasted vigorously: "That's right, it's really amazing, my mother-in-law said so herself!"

"If you feel uncomfortable in the future, you must go to her!"

This is really an exaggeration. Some people who originally believed it no longer believe it and they all look strange.

Auntie Lanhua regretted dragging him over and said angrily, "Just shut up. Who knows if what you said is true? How come you were the only one who heard it and no one else knew? How long have you been at your mother-in-law's house these days? How could she tell you this?"

Xu Cui shut up and followed the crowd. When they were almost at Pei's house, someone suddenly said, "Isn't that Xisheng's wife? That's great."

Xu Cui was startled.

alright?

How is that possible?!

How much can Jiang Xi, that little girl, know? Isn't it all because of her bragging? After giving birth in the afternoon, my wife was already like that, and she is still fine?

She looked up along with everyone else and saw a tall and thin woman walking slowly. She had her head lowered so her facial expression couldn't be seen clearly, but it was completely different from the lifeless look she had in the afternoon!

Xu Cui was in doubt and hurried forward, shouting, "Xisheng daughter-in-law?! Are you okay?"

The woman raised her head. Her face was still pale and she was still skinny. But her eyes were open and she looked more energetic. She nodded reluctantly: "Yes, it's done."

"Oh my God! Are He Jun's wives really that awesome?!" a woman exclaimed.

Someone immediately agreed: "Yeah, it looks really amazing. In the afternoon, I thought Xisheng's wife was going to die. You don't know how scary she was at the time. She couldn't even get up!"

Some people even said enviously, "The Pei Zhong family has really good feng shui. There must be smoke coming out of their ancestral tombs, right? As soon as their son got into trouble, they had such a great daughter-in-law sent to take care of them in their old age. Why don't I have such a good fortune..."

Someone immediately muttered, "So you want to have one less son?"

The envious ones were silent.

Xu Cui watched this group of people praising Jiang Xi again, she felt so angry that her chest ached and she was a little flustered.

Damn, it actually got better!

Xisheng's mother was the same. Her expectations were dashed and she said unhappily, "Why didn't you just tell me earlier? You made me come back half an hour early to cook! You loser!"

"Okay, okay, I'm just fine, let it go." Auntie Lanhua advised kindly.

Li Aimei pursed her lips and whispered, "I don't have the energy to work."

He Jun's wife is right. If she continues to be bitten like this, she may not survive in the future.

She doesn't want to die.

Xisheng's mother didn't stare at her. Instead, she rolled her eyes and headed for the Pei family's yard, muttering, "Hey, you said it could be cured, but now you have no strength at all? It's not cured yet! Sister Guizhi, your daughter-in-law is a quack! Pay the money!"

The women who came with them were all stunned: "Xisheng's mother, there's no such thing as you!"

Why would Xisheng's mother care about these things? She rushed in vigorously.

Xu Cui was even more delighted, she smiled secretly with her hands covering her lips, she originally didn't want to go over, but now she quickened her pace, wanting to see the excitement, but soon she was stunned.

Li Aimei, who had just been sulking, suddenly ran over and threw Xisheng's mother to the ground, crying with a strong sense of resentment: "He Jun's wife finally saved me, what are you going to do? I haven't even paid for the medical expenses! How can I compensate you!!!"

If her mother-in-law really makes trouble for her lifesaver again, she will be as good as dead! No one will give her medicine to save her for free again!

Li Aimei held her down tightly, not letting her move.

But was Xisheng's mother willing to be suppressed by her daughter-in-law? Her face turned blue, and she twisted and struggled to get up, shouting: "Li Aimei, get out! Do you believe that I will let Xisheng divorce you?"

Li Aimei didn't move, hugged her tightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "You can't go! You can't go!"

Xisheng's mother was unable to stand up. She was completely furious. She turned over and pressed on her daughter-in-law, slapping her mercilessly: "Damn it, you are so brave, you little bitch..."

"Pa|Pa|Pa——" The sound of fists hitting flesh caused Li Aimei's face to twist in pain. She did not dare to fight back for a moment and let her mother-in-law hit her several times.

Li Aimei was not fully recovered to begin with, and was still weak. The beating made her even more dizzy. All she could see was her mother-in-law's ferocious and terrifying face, and the sighs of those around her as they tried to pull the woman apart: "What a sin!"

"You are just relying on your wife Xisheng's good temper to make trouble. What will you do if she really dies?"

Dead?

Is she dying?

Li Aimei thought that might be the case, as she was beaten so badly that she couldn't even feel the pain.

But she doesn't want to die, she wants to live, to live!

The desire to survive gave her strength. Just then, someone was holding Xisheng's mother. Li Aimei turned over and pinned her mother-in-law down. Then she grabbed her hair tightly. Her face, distorted by excessive force, looked a little scary. Xisheng's mother was so frightened that she didn't react for a while. Then, she used all her strength to smash the head to the ground, muttering, "Mom, I don't want to die."
