"Which piece of land? I'll go and persuade him later."
Old Mrs. Lin pointed to the west.
Lin Shiyu put down her chopsticks and said, "I'll be leaving now. You can take your time eating."
Old Mrs. Lin said "hmm" without even raising her head.
Before Lin Shiyu went to see her grandfather, she first went to see the governess:
"...My mother is in this state. You have to test her carefully later to prevent her from having any uncontrolled thoughts."
The governess nodded with a smile, and after listening, she went to the third branch of the Lin family with a mission.
"Come and eat, the people have gone far away."
As soon as Mrs. Lin finished speaking, a thin figure walked out of the house.
It’s Lin Shiyi.
"Your cousin isn't a cannibal. There's no need to hide every time she comes over."
Lin Shiyi lowered her head and replied "OK".
Old Mrs. Lin sighed. Although she said yes, she would still hide next time.
This person really cannot do evil, and the retribution will fall on his children.
Lin Shiyu left the Lin family's old house and quickly found Grandpa Lin in the direction indicated by Old Mrs. Lin.
After she chatted with Mr. Lin for a few words, Mr. Lin no longer insisted on opening up the land.
"What? You're not going to mess with your land anymore?"
When Mrs. Lin saw him come back, she started to speak in a sarcastic tone.
"Shiyu said that if we want our third son to be an official for a long time, our parents must live long, so she asked me to go home."
Mrs. Lin no longer cared about the sarcasm: "Is there such a saying?"
Forgive them, there are no officials around them, so they don’t know this news.
Old Master Lin nodded: "Yes, if we were gone, San'er would have to come back to observe the mourning period, and then he would not be able to hold his position as an official."
When Mrs. Lin heard that, she was furious: "Then don't be so cruel to yourself in the future. You didn't help San'er before, so don't hold him back now."
What can Mr. Lin do?
I can only agree to it.
It’s a pity, he wanted to open up more land and make more money.
Both his grandsons, Boyu and Bowen, said they wanted to take the imperial examinations, but as a grandfather, he couldn't offer any help at all.
......
When Lin Shiyu returned home, Lin Boyu was still asleep.
Liu, who had been guarding the door, stopped guarding it.
It seems that he was taken away by the governess.
"Miss, someone comes to seek medical treatment."
Lin Shiyu was also called away by the maid. Before leaving, she told the servant to call her if Lin Boyu woke up.
After a trip to the provincial capital, Lin Shiyu's reputation for medical skills spread, and many patients came to see her.
But the majority of people who come here are women.
These days, female doctors with medical skills are rare, and it has always been difficult for women to see a doctor.
It was rare to hear about a female doctor, so those who had been suffering from illness flocked to him.
At first, I suspected that Lin Shiyu’s medical skills were not good because she was too young, but everyone who came said she was good.
This time, more people came.
Many patients suggested that she move to the city, as it was too troublesome to come to Yamada Village for medical treatment.
Taking into consideration the Liu family and the lack of a fully mature industry, Lin Shiyu did not consider moving to the city.
Moreover, she had so many patients coming to see her that if the roads were easier to walk on, wouldn't there be even more? Thinking of her own shabby body, she decided not to overwork herself.
"Miss, the master is awake."
Lin Shiyu nodded, and after examining the patient in her hands, she got up and went back into the house.
In order to make it easier to see a doctor and for privacy, a special room was built where she received the treatment, not in their home.
When Lin Shiyu came to Lin Boyu's room, Lin Boyu was hugging Liu and crying.
"Mom, I didn't pass the exam! Wuuuuuu..."
"I haven't even obtained the qualification of a Tongsheng..."
He locked himself in his room for almost two years to study hard, using the notes his father had given him. Despite such excellent resources, he couldn't even qualify as a student.
Lin Boyu has been sensible since he was a child, and Liu has never seen him cry so sadly.
She stroked the child's head to comfort him, but when she heard the child crying sadly, she finally shed tears too.
The mother and son hugged each other and cried bitterly. Lin Shiyu stood outside the door and didn't want to go in.
What is going on?
After crying for half a minute, neither of them showed any sign of stopping, so Lin Shiyu had to go in and interrupt them.
She slapped Lin Boyu on the head. Lin Boyu grimaced in pain, but for a moment he forgot about his sadness.
"Can't you see that Mommy is about to cry herself to death? Hurry up and stop crying."
Liu cried for too long and felt a little short of breath, her face turned pale.
Lin Boyu was shocked when he saw it.
How could he care about sad things anymore? He stood up, laid his mother down, and comforted Liu.
"Mom, mom, you didn't take the exam, why are you crying?"
Liu didn't want to cry at this moment, but she was crying so hard that she couldn't control herself and couldn't stop.
“Get out of the way!”
Lin Shiyu pulled Lin Boyu away and walked forward to press a few acupoints with her hands.
Slowly, Liu's breathing became smoother and her crying stopped.
"Mom, take a good rest first. I'll go outside and counsel my brother."
Without waiting for Liu's response, Lin Shiyu dragged the person out.
outside the house.
Lin Shiyu just kept looking at Lin Boyu without saying anything.
Lin Boyu felt uneasy when he was stared at.
He timidly tugged at Lin Shiyu's sleeve: "Sister, I was wrong!"
"What's wrong?"
Lin Boyu: "...I shouldn't have let my mother get hurt..."
"That's not your fault." Lin Shiyu interrupted him, "Everyone has emotions. When it comes to a critical point, it's not something you can control just like that."
Lin Boyu was silent.
"Your biggest mistake is your poor mental endurance and blind arrogance. You don't recognize your own strengths, set your goals too high, and only think about the best side of things, never considering the worst-case scenario..."
Lin Shiyu pointed out his mistake.
Lin Boyu became even more silent.
"On the road to the imperial examination, some people never achieve fame and honor until they are old. Are there any of them who are as desperate as you? If everyone were like you, how many would go crazy?"
Lin Boyu: "...but Dad passed the exam on his first try and got the qualification of Tongsheng."
His father's conditions were not as good as his at that time, but he was able to pass the exam, so why did he fail?
He couldn't accept it.
He didn't expect to surpass his father's achievements, but he didn't want to be too bad either.
The young man admires the strong and his target is his father.
"Having goals is a good thing." Lin Shiyu praised him, then belittled him: "Dad was able to pass the exam because he was smart, not because of the conditions."
Lin Boyu: ...
Can you comfort people? If you can't speak, please shut up, thank you!
"Your mental endurance and adaptability are both poor. If you can't improve these two things, then I suggest you give up the exam and go home to farm!"
