Chapter 196 I, Can’t Be Provoked



They looked at the bottle of wine in the woman's hand with curiosity.

Smelling the familiar smell, they learned for the first time that "wine" can also reduce fever.

"If you keep rubbing it, he'll be cold before dawn."

The woman was so frightened when she heard this that she dropped the handkerchief in her hand and almost knocked over the wine jar.

"A jar of wine costs ten taels of silver, a body scrub costs one hundred coins, and if you break the jar, you'll have to pay for it."

With a swish, the people around moved away from the wine jar.

What kind of precious wine is this? It costs ten taels of silver per jar?!

The onlookers were wondering in shock and suspicion, wondering if Lin Shiyu was trying to cheat them out of their money.

Lin Shiyu doesn't care what others think of her.

These wines are not the ones bought outside, they are strong liquors she made herself.

In order to make these wines, she spent a lot of money on the tools used to make them.

"I don't have any money, I don't have any money, let's not drink this wine..."

When the woman heard that it cost one hundred coins for each wipe, she thought that the wine was a scourge and she wished her husband would just die.

"If you don't have money, you can write an IOU. Just because you don't have money now doesn't mean you won't have it in the future."

Lin Shiyu called Lin Boyu and prepared to write an IOU and have someone sign it.

"No, no, no, I won't sign. Can't I just not use it?" The woman resisted, shaking her head almost like a rattle.

"It's too late to say no now." Lin Shiyu took the IOU written by Lin Boyu and said, "Come here and put your fingerprints on it."

The woman was unwilling and refused to come over.

Lin Shiyu, who already had a bad temper, would not continue to argue with her, so she directly called someone over and asked them to force her to sign.

"I know what you're up to. I suggest you put all your little tricks aside.

This is not a charity. Medical treatment is not free. I have to charge for everything I do.

Secondly, don't think that just dropping off a patient at my doorstep will solve the problem and I won't do anything about it. If a patient has an emergency, I can treat them promptly, but that will cost money.

Whether the disease can be cured or not is another matter. In fact, humans are not gods, you should know this.

And don't think that these people will blame me just because they died in front of my house. We don't take responsibility for this. I, Lin Shiyu, am not a pushover, and the people of our Shantian Village are not people who can be bullied easily."

In the middle of the night, a large group of villagers from Yamada Village gathered in a circle, watching them and responding to Lin Shiyu's words. The effect was amazing.

.......

silence.......

In fact, there were not many villagers who came to watch. Most of them were villagers who were on good terms with Lin Anru. Thinking that there were so many strangers outside the Lin family's house and Lin Anru was not at home, they came over spontaneously to keep watch.

Others are villagers assigned by the village chief to patrol the village.

The villagers didn't know why they had to patrol the village suddenly, but since the village chief asked them to do so, they did it. Then when there was a dispute here, they came here to watch.

"Those lying on the ground are your relatives. As relatives, you don't take good care of the patients and only rely on me as a doctor. Then don't blame me for charging high consultation fees."

After saying this, Lin Shiyu pulled Lin Boyu home to take a nap.

The villagers of Yamada Village also scattered in all directions. As to whether they went home or did something else, who knows?

The group of patients and their families under the greenhouse did not start moving until the people from Yamada Village left.

Some of them returned to their original positions to take good care of the patients, some were in a daze, some were chatting with acquaintances, and a small number of them packed up and prepared to go home overnight...

Only a very small part of it left.

After all, it took a lot of determination to get these poor people to come and see a doctor, so how could I give up so easily?

.......

The second day.

Early in the morning, Lin Anji called the young men from the village to help install tiles on Lin Shiyu's roof.

The wall had been repaired when he and Grandpa Lin were repairing the fence, but the tiles on the roof had been left unrepaired because they were broken.

I was originally thinking of going to the county town to buy new ones, but the village chief said that he had some extra ones at home and could just take them back to use.

The village chief wanted to give it to Lin Shiyu for free, but Lin Shiyu didn't dare to take it for free. In the end, she gave a rough amount to the village chief's wife after some consideration.

The village chief's wife was so happy that she was displeased. Even if the village chief glared at her, she would still be happy.

Everyone heard the latest gossip about what Lin Shiyu said last night early in the morning.

So, after the villagers helped to install the roof, they took the broken tiles and installed them on the wall.

"Hey, now let's see who can crawl into your house."

The wall surrounding the third branch of the Lin family was already built high enough, so it was impossible to climb up with bare hands.

Unless he uses a ladder, but most thieves would not carry a ladder to steal in such a high-profile manner. He might be caught before he even enters the village.

Liu looked at the top of the sharp wall and sincerely thanked the villagers who came to help.

I couldn't treat them with delicious food and drinks, but I still made a slightly hearty lunch to thank them.

They felt that the workload was not worth the meal.

Feeling indebted, they took sacks to the river to dig sand, and stacked the sandbags that Lin Anru had made before up a lot.

"By the way, what's the use of this spacer bag?"

The villagers were puzzled by the Lin family's actions.

Lin Anji didn't know either, so he turned around and asked Lin Shiyu.

"Waterproof, fireproof, and anti-beast." Lin Shiyu thought for a while and said.

The source of water for Yamada Village is on this mountain. According to the old people in the village, there is a large natural reservoir deep in the mountains.

Therefore, the nearby villages have never had to worry about water supply, and unlike other places, they do not have to spend manpower and resources to build a reservoir for backup.

Lin Shiyu is afraid of death, so she thinks a lot. If the reservoir above is full, their village will suffer, so waterproofing is the most important thing.

I didn't think it would be waterproof, I just thought that when the time came, this partition bag could give me a chance of survival.

Fire prevention is even easier. It is close to the mountain and has many trees and forests. If a fire occurs, the fire will at least not spread to this side all at once due to the partitions.

"You scholars just think too much." A villager shook his head.

"From my grandfather's generation to my own, there has never been a flood, so there's no need to be on guard against this. But we do need to be on guard against fires. Those little bastards in the village love to have a snack at the foot of the mountain.

As for wild animals, we're far from the mountains here, so there won't be any wild animals. At most, there will be some small animals. There's no need to be on guard against those small animals. Even if they dare to come out, no matter how many there are, they won't be enough to fill our stomachs."

The surrounding villagers burst into laughter when they heard this.

They started to drool as they laughed. They hadn't had a full meal for a long time, let alone meat.
