Chapter 118: Self-inflicted Hardship

ously ill, he forgot all about seeing a doctor and only cared about drinking and eating meat.Wang Yan'er wouldn't even hate him, that was already pretty good.Old Mrs. Wu was so angry she almost wanted...Fang Jinxiu looked at Zong Yu, "Husband, I listen to you, if you say save me, then save me."

"If you don't want to save me, I won't let you save me."

Upon hearing this, Tie Zhu didn't hesitate. He immediately turned his head and kowtowed frantically to Zong Yu, admitting his mistake. "Second Brother, I was wrong. I'm a jerk, my mouth is out of control."

"I shouldn't have been going against you from the start of climbing the mountain. I admit it, I was jealous of you and deliberately tried to make things difficult for you."

"I know I was wrong, please beg your sister-in-law to save me."

Zong Yu didn't care how the villagers viewed or spoke about him, but Fang Jinxiu's actions towards him still deeply touched his heart.

He's grown this big, and besides his mother, no woman has ever truly cared for him.

His mother treated him well because of the blood tie between them, and besides, she had more than one son. In fact, her kindness was quite limited.

His mother often told him to be patient for his younger siblings.

Ke Fang's embroidery was exquisite, but it was so straightforward and naked, even without considering right from wrong, she just wanted to protect him.

"Husband What's wrong with you" Fang Jinshi saw Zong Yu staring blankly at her, motionless, and her heart was pounding.

Could it be that she was too fierce just now, scaring people away

Her hand was suddenly seized by a man, and Fang Jinshu instantly came to her senses.

"Save me, save me and I'll take you to another place to find herbs."

Zong Yu is truly too kind. How could someone like this be called a demon by the villagers

Fang Jinshi smiled lightly at the man, "Okay, I'll remove the snake venom from him right now. Let's continue gathering medicine."

It's really not worth wasting her time gathering medicine for those good-for-nothings in the village.

The next second, she retracted her gentle smile and glared viciously at Li Gouzi, who shivered in fear.

"Lie down flat, and don't move until I tell you to." His tone was menacing, completely different from how he spoke to Zongyu.

The dog's eyes welled up with tears. How could this woman have two faces

Zong Erge, did you see that She's so scary!

Li Gouzi kept giving Zong Yu meaningful looks with his eyes, trying to get him to control his own wife.

Unexpectedly, Zong Yu had a smile on his face, his eyes filled with tenderness and pride as they fell upon Fang Jinshu. His gaze lingered on Li Guzi's line of sight.

Pretend you didn't see anything and calmly moved away.

Just then, Fang Jinshi had already pounded the medicinal herbs into a poultice and forcefully slapped it onto the place where Li Gouzi had been bitten.

"Ouch! That hurts!"

Li Gouzi's howl made all the birds in the forest fly away. The villagers, hearing his dreadful cries, involuntarily shivered and instinctively distanced themselves from Fang Jinshi by a few feet.

It's terrifying, Zong Yu's daughter-in-law is truly terrifying.

Fang Jinshi admitted that she had a vengeful motive. After all, this kid had been making trouble for her since he went up the mountain.

Yesterday, the dog was still restless, but since Fang Jinshiu wasn't there, it didn't get seen.

She tore a strip from Li Gouzi's clothes and bandaged his wound. She patted her hands and stood up.

Tie Zhu walked over, "Sister-in-law, is this better now"

Isn't it saying that the snake venom is very strong, so can antidote be this simple

Fang Jinshi raised an eyebrow. “If you don’t believe me, you can take him down the mountain to find another doctor.”

Just as Fang Jinshi was tending to Li Gou, Tie Zhu's mind raced.

Their village was extremely poor. Going to town meant climbing over a mountain, making travel very inconvenient.

In the village, men, women, and children usually bear headaches and fevers themselves. It is less convenient to see a doctor here compared to other villages.

Since Fang Jinxiu can heal the sick, they truly shouldn't offend her.

With her around, people in the village wouldn't have to travel so far when they got sick, and no one would die from minor illnesses anymore.

Tie Zhu smiled and said, his tone even more polite than a few days ago, "Of course I believe my sister-in-law."

"I'm afraid this snake venom won't be completely removed by the dog, and then I'll have to trouble my sister-in-law again."

Fang Jinshi looked at Tie Zhu and let out a playful smile. It was child's play for her to detoxify this snake venom. At most, in half an hour Li Gou would be able to move freely, just like any ordinary person.

But since they don't trust or believe her, hehe.

This is all Li Gouzi's own doing.

She turned and took the medicine box from Zong Yu's hand, then pulled out seven or eight herbs from inside and threw them to Li Gouzi. Four of them were Coptis chinensis.

"Take these medicines back and boil them with water, three bowls of water boiled into one bowl. The dregs can be boiled repeatedly, drink three times a day, and continue for three days."

Li Gouzi clutched the pills like a precious treasure, his eyes flashing with malice as soon as he got his hands on the antidote.Fu Ming has always had a premonition that this couple coming to Beijing would inevitably bring earth-shaking changes to the city.He ignored the dissuasion of his trusted officials behind him and insis...
