It was still early in the morning when they returned to the Qin Clan, Old Man Qin and the others had not come back yet. Qin Wuya put down the basket on her back, and saw Lady Wang sneaking out of the kitchen with something in her hands.

He then hurriedly put his hands behind him, seeing that Qin Wuya had completely ignored him, he fiercely glared at him and scolded as he dragged his stomach and ran into his house.

"Humph!" "Since the heavens are trying to figure out how to steal an egg to eat, I might as well pretend that they didn't see it." Qin Wuya sneered, she did not care about Wang Shi and started to busy himself with the task at hand.

He used half of the pigweed he had cut today to place in the shade, while the other half mixed with the rotten leaves and soaked it in a wooden basin to clean it.

The final pieces of the battlements were scattered over the wok. After being boiled for almost a quarter of an hour, it would be ready to be fed to the pigs. There were only two pigs in the Qin family, so they did not eat much. The two pigs were already half grown, and if one of them were to eat by themselves during New Year's, they would buy one for themselves and go to the town to exchange for silver.

After cooking the pig grass, Wu Ya cleaned up properly before carrying the empty basket out. He was going to the fields to collect the leftover bowls and chopsticks.

"Mountain..." Mountain... I feel terrible... I ?. "Qin Wuya had just walked to the top of the field when she saw Second Sister-in-Law holding onto a stalk of corn with one hand and grabbing at the mountain beside him with the other.

"Gui Fang? Gui Fang, what's wrong with you! " When Qin Dashan just heard his own wife's shout, he felt weird when he turned around to see that his wife was unconscious on the ground. He panicked and shouted loudly.

Old Man Qin and Madam Lin both heard the voice and hurried over to see Zhang Shi lying in the mountains. His face was pale and cold sweat covered both sides of his forehead.

"Head, what's going on? But the sun is shining. " Madam Lin put down the task at hand and went to touch Zhang Shi's forehead, and took some water to pour on his own hands to pat Zhang Clan's face, but he saw that Zhang Clan did not wake up at all.

"What are you blabbering about? I'm guessing you're suffering from heatstroke. How much work is needed for a useless thing to be done, and you're already on the verge of death. Big Mountain, just help your wife stay in the shade for a while."

Old Man Qin looked at his second son's wife and said with a darkened face: "Big Mountain, hurry. Today, before nightfall, you must take care of all these bract rice."

"Yes, Father." Big Mountain had a worried look on his face, but he didn't dare to refute his father's words. He could only carry Zhang Shi to the shade of the tree and saw Wu Ya, who had come to clean up the dishes.

"Wuya, your sister-in-law fainted for some reason. Just take care of her and bring the chopsticks back later."

"Got it, I'll take care of it." Qin Wuya looked at the pale Zhang Clan member and replied.

Although it did not affect her second brother and Second Sister-in-Law very much, it was not too bad. Compared to Old Man Qin's Wuqing and Eldest Brother's shamelessness, Second Brother and Madam Zhang could at most just sit back and watch while the two sides fought.

Especially the Zhang Clan, although they have never helped Qin Wuya before, and only watched the scene coldly when Qin Wuya was forced to her death, but because of the conflict between her and the Wang Clan, they have always ridiculed the Wang Clan. Qin Wuya decided to help him. It was understandable, but after hearing what Yue Yang had said, the enemy would be his friend. If Mrs Zhang was unable to recover from her sickness, Mrs Wang could not help but be arrogant and overturn the heavens.

Wu Ya shifted his body and used all his strength to help Mrs Zhang lean against a tree's shade. He also picked up all the utensils in his hands and placed them into the basket. Following Madam Lin's example, he poured some of the water from the pot into his hands and washed them before lightly patting Zhang Shi's cheeks and the back of her neck.

She remembered that in her previous life, when she was suffering from heatstroke, her grandmother would pinch the back of her neck and scrape it off. Wu Ya thought about taking Madam Lin's hands, but didn't expect to see a pair of ice-cold hands.

No, how can it be cold? Shouldn't people suffering from heatstroke have symptoms such as fever, fatigue, and burning skin? Looking at Zhang Shi's pale complexion, it didn't look like she was going to faint from the sun at all. Could she be sick?

While Qin Wuya was confused, the unconscious Zhang Shi actually opened her eyes. She covered her stomach with one hand and with the other she grabbed onto Qin Wuya's sleeve while gritting her teeth with difficulty: "It hurts ? My... Stomach... Wu Ya ? "Me."

Wuya could not understand what she was trying to say, but looking at her painful face, Wuya started to panic, and anxiously shouted at Old Man Qin, Madam Lin and the others:

"Mom, big brother, second brother!" Second Sister-in-Law is in excruciating pain, quick! Get a doctor. "

Although Qin Wuya was pitifully thin, her voice was not loud. After shouting out this shout, it couldn't help but shock Old Man Qin and a few others, even Li Clan's people who were close to the Qin family and Old Man Li, and their wives rushed over to help.

It was like this in the countryside. Even though there were usually quarrels over trivial matters, whenever someone had something on their mind, they would come out and help. Revenge comes back to hatred, and help goes back to the sect.

Anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell that Zhang Shi's condition wasn't good, so they had to call a doctor. However, there was only one barefoot doctor surnamed Wang in the Li family village. Last month, Dr. Wang's daughter married and went to Jing Prefecture, and Dr. Wang followed the groom's group to Jing Prefecture.

After that, there were no more doctors left in the Lee family village or the nearby villages. This caused the Qin family to be so anxious that even Madam Lin, who was panicking, didn't know what to do. Fortunately, the woman who came to help had an idea:

"Big Mountain, your wife's condition isn't right, it can't be delayed. Quickly go to the village and borrow an ox cart from the Iron family. Bring your wife to the town's infirmary."

"You're right, Big Mountain, you should bring your wife to the town to have a look. You should take the money we give you, since mom has so much on her. If you don't have enough, I'll send you a message."

As if he had caught hold of his backbone, the Madam Lin followed embolic wife's words and urged him on anxiously. She then took out a piece of paper and stuffed it in Qin Dashan's hands.

"Father, Mother, this is the ox-cart that I am borrowing. You guys take care of Gui Fang. "

After Qin Dashan received the money from the Madam Lin, he did not care about Old Man Qin's ashen face as he rushed towards the village entrance. Fortunately, he was not far from the village entrance.

Seeing that the ox-cart had left, the villagers who had come to help dispersed, but Old Man Qin's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. No matter how hard he tried, he could not disperse.

Old Man Qin's expression was ugly, not because he was worried that something would happen to Zhang family, but because he felt sorry for his son, who had always been rich.

Old Man Qin, who was standing at the top of the field, glared at his wife. He was so frightened that he hurriedly turned his head away and didn't dare to speak for a long time.

He only felt that his son and his wife were making a big fuss over nothing. He felt that since his second son's wife, Mrs. Zhang, was sick, she wanted to be lazy and not work, but the Li family and Li Yu Zi's wife were present. With face, Old Man Qin could only pay the money.

Although he was extremely dissatisfied, Old Man Qin was afraid that the bad reputation of the Qin family would spread and he was afraid that his son's wife would not be treated as a patient and his wife would be mistreated.

No wonder Old Man Qin's heart ached. This year's money was exchanged for two taels of silver, and the usual money was exchanged for a thousand taels of gold, or a thousand taels of gold.

The current technology of copper coin forging was not considered good, so the copper coins were big and thick, and if one were to keep a thousand letters on their body, it would be really heavy. Therefore, Shangguan Family had created a new type of currency for exchange, which was a type of paper currency used as a substitute for the use of money, and was very different from the large face value silver notes that were issued by the banks on the market.

This was exactly what Qin Dashan wanted, how could he not pinch Old Man Qin's chest in anger?

Even if he sold all the six acres of bract rice, he would only be able to get four cents at the most. However, Zhang Clan was sick, so he decided to go first. He did not know if the money would be good or not, but everyone knew that the town's clinic was always dark, and not a single piece of silver would come out.

The whole family's three months of hard work were all for nothing. Thinking about this, Old Man Qin was so angry that he couldn't get past this hurdle. He couldn't help but glare fiercely at Qin Wuya who was standing at the side.

It was all because of this slut, this dead girl, this money loser, not only did he not bring anything good, he even added insult to injury. If she was allowed to marry one person, then she would dare to court death and seek life in the village. Her two elder sisters were both married like this, but weren't they all fine now? How could it be her turn to have so many things to do?

Today's situation was originally a small matter. It would have been fine for Big Mountain to drag Mrs. Zhang home to rest for two days, but now that little girl was shouting so much, it seemed like she was making a joke out of herself.

Before dinner, Xiao Sanzi, who was doing odd jobs in the village came to the Qin family to receive news, saying that it was Qin Dashan, if he brought him along, he and Zhang family would not be coming back tonight.

It turned out that Mrs. Zhang was pregnant. Because of her weak body and the fatigue from days of labor, she was in an unstable fetal position. The doctor in the clinic had given her a shot to prevent pregnancy.

Mountain and Zhang could only stay at the infirmary. They were afraid that the two elders would be worried, and because they didn't have enough money, they let their village's three children bring messages from their families.

The was happy and worried. He was happy that he had someone from his clan, but he was worried that the Zhang Clan was too scary just now, and that they might not be able to keep their baby alive.

Even Old Man Qin's originally cold and indifferent expression eased up, carrying a trace of joy and worry. Qin Wuya laughed coldly, she did not care whether her daughter and daughter-in-law was dead or alive. Now that she knew that the Zhang Clan was probably her grandson, she started to worry.

Qin Wuya was absolutely sure that if she could protect this piece of Zhang family, then it would be fine. But if she couldn't, Old Man Qin would definitely put all the blame on her and Zhang family for pampering his grandson's life and money.

He never would have thought that he was the one who made his daughter-in-law work every day without eating, and that he was the one who saw that his daughter-in-law wasn't feeling well and wouldn't be allowed to see a doctor.

He had seen many parents in the countryside who valued their sons and daughters, but for Old Man Qin to be so heartless, cold and selfish, he could be considered an extremely good person.
