Bei Yutang waved at Xiao Zimo, and he came over.
She held Xiao Zimo in her arms. Although he was still very thin, he was much better than before.
Bei Yutang hugged him and whispered, "Mother, I will always be with you."
"Yeah." Xiao Zimo replied softly.
In the evening, after dinner, Bei Yutang took Xiao Zimo for a walk in the fields to help digest the food.
The village head came hurriedly.
"Finally I found you." The village head walked over.
"Village Chief, what's going on?"
"Something's going on. Did you and your son go to the government office to register your own household?" asked the village head.
"right."
After she woke up, she went to the yamen to handle this matter.
The original owner, Mu Zhitao, was divorced by her husband's family, and her natal family refused to take them in, so she had no choice but to set up her own household. In the Great Zhou Kingdom, female households were rare, but they did exist.
"It's like this. The government has announced that every household must send one person to perform labor service. Although you are a female household, you still have males in your family, so logically, someone should be sent over. The higher-ups have also taken this situation into consideration and have made a special solution, which is to pay a sum of money to be exempted from labor service." said the head of the village.
If it were two months ago, the village head would have been afraid to come over. But now that he knew she had money in her pocket and was much more approachable, he dared to speak.
"How much?"
"Five taels of silver."
"So many!" Bei Yutang looked at him in surprise.
Five taels of silver is not a small amount. An ordinary farmer may not earn five taels of silver in a year.
The village head explained, "This is an order from above, and there's nothing we can do about it."
The head of the village thought that since she could build a courtyard wall and wear cotton clothes, she should have this amount of money, so he was not worried that she would not be able to come up with it.
"Okay, I'll get it for you."
Bei Yutang returned to the inner room, took out a five-liang silver note from the cabinet, and handed it to the village head. After seeing the note, the village head smiled and said something, then left.

In an ancient manor thousands of miles away, an old man with a white beard was giving acupuncture treatment to a stern young man. There was a thick fog around them, making it difficult to see clearly.
Countless hot air would automatically bounce away when it touched the man, as if encountering some resistance.
Every time the old man with the white beard gave an injection, more sweat would appear on his forehead and his face would turn pale.
This pattern continues for the time it takes to stick of incense.
After one stick of incense, the old man took back all the golden needles.
The old man came out of the secret room, and was immediately greeted by a middle-aged man with extraordinary aura who was guarding the door.
"Doctor Xue, how is the young master?" asked the middle-aged man.
"Manager Feng, Young Master Feng's illness is truly bizarre. I've been practicing medicine for many years, and I've never seen anything like it. I've searched through various ancient texts, but I still haven't found the cause, let alone what Young Master Feng's illness is."
Doctor Xue touched his gray beard, his brows tightly furrowed.
"Even you don't have a solution?" Even though Manager Feng was mentally prepared, he still felt a little disappointed.
Doctor Xue shook his head.
"Young Master Feng has been ill so frequently this time. What did he touch or eat?" asked Doctor Xue.
If we can find it, we may be able to find the cause of the disease.
Over the years, Young Master Feng's illness has been very regular, occurring every six months, and sometimes even once every one or two years.
