"Please help me think of a solution. See if you can use cheaper herbs as a substitute, or..."
Jiang Nian understood what he meant and said with a smile, "Actually there is another way."
"You say..." Village Chief Zhou looked at her seriously.
"There are many mountains and rivers in our area. There must be some precious herbs with a long history in the deep mountains and old forests. I can draw these herbs, and Uncle Zhou can organize the villagers to go into the mountains to look for them. Even if the herbs are useless, as long as they are valuable enough, they can be taken to the town to exchange for other herbs. However, there are many dangers in the deep mountains, and it is winter now. The grass and trees are withered and difficult to identify. I am afraid it will take some effort." Jiang Nian said: "Or if you are not careful, you may run into a pack of wolves or wild boars..."
There is no need to say more about what happens next, as it will naturally arouse people's imagination.
Village chief Zhou grew up here since he was a child, so how could he not know the dangers in the mountains and forests?
If precious herbs were so easy to find, the villagers would have become rich long ago. Moreover, as Jiang Nian said, winter is the season when herbs are the most difficult to identify.
People always like to make things difficult for others rather than themselves. Just like just now, if Jiang Nian hadn't proposed this method earlier, perhaps Village Chief Zhou's next words would be to hope that she could go into the mountains to look for it.
Village Chief Zhou was melancholy for a long time. Suddenly, he saw Zhang Er helping to fetch water in the yard. He wondered, "Will Zhang Er's illness require more precious medicinal materials?"
Jiang Nian understood what he meant.
The idea is good, but unfortunately, people who don’t understand the knowledge of pharmacology really cannot understand it.
"Of course I will use it." If she said no, no one would believe her. Or if she had such a disease again in the future, she couldn't waste her time and money every time. "But his disease is different, so we can't generalize."
Anyway, it's impossible to ask her to treat Zhou Shugen for free.
Moral blackmail has no effect on her. What does it have to do with her whether others live a good life or not?
When she is having a hard time, is there anyone who will feel sorry for her?
If that really happened, Xiao Ju's mother would not have ended up hanging herself after living in this village for so many years, and would not have just received brief regret from others.
Even after the body was buried, when Zhou Shugen came back with his new wife, they said that the person was not a decent person, but on the surface they were still chatting and laughing, maintaining an attitude of not caring about it.
Jiang Nian didn't mean to seek revenge for anyone, or to tolerate anything.
But the Zhou family smashed her place and kicked her cat to death. She couldn't just let it go with just one sentence.
Fortunately, it happened in this era. If it were the case back then, she would have let this family die in pain openly.
Those who had been cured by her called her a miracle doctor, those who had nothing to do with the matter called her a poison doctor, but those who were sanctimonious called her an evil doctor and a witch, and she could not live up to this title.
Jiang Nian was unwilling, and Village Chief Zhou had no choice but to leave in disappointment.
Outside the fenced yard, I ran into Yan Jin head-on.
After the greetings, Village Chief Zhou suddenly thought that Yan Jin might be able to help, so he told him the truth about Zhou Shugen's family situation.
"Although Zhou Shugen did something wrong, his family situation is indeed difficult. His mother is paralyzed in bed, his father is old, and his two sons are only 8 years old and can't support themselves. His first wife committed suicide, and the woman he married later ran away when she saw that he was not good enough, and didn't even want the children. If his situation doesn't get better, the whole family will have to rely on the village's relief food to survive, and our village is really not rich..."
