  Li Mingyun returned the duck eggs to Lin Lan: "Just help carry it here."

  Lin Lan smiled and said: "Thank you!"

  Li Mingyu looked up at the sky: "At this time, the market is probably already dispersed."

  Lin Lans view of Li Xiucia changed greatly along the way. Firstly, Li Xiucai was not as weak as she had imagined. The basket of duck eggs weighed at least 20-30 kilograms, but he carried it all the way without switching hands, strolling effortlessly. Secondly, Li Xiucai actually helped her consider whether the duck eggs would sell or not, which didnt seem like his usual indifferent self.

  "Its okay, I have a way." Lin Lan smiled slightly, this little thing couldnt stump her.

  Li Mingyu nodded and didnt say anything else, then went into the city first.

  Lin Lan brought duck eggs to Hus pharmacy.

  Hus pharmacy in Fengan County is very famous, although it is not a hundred-year-old brand. However, Hu Daifus kind heart and excellent medical skills have earned him the love and respect of the common people. When wealthy families ask him to diagnose their illnesses, he charges them a consultation fee. When poor families ask him to diagnose their illnesses, he only charges them for the cost of medicine. If they are really too poor to afford even the cost of medicine, he waves his hand and waives the fee as well. Other doctors not only charge tuition fees but also require students to sign a ten-year contract, forcing them to work for free for ten years. In contrast, Hu Daifu does not charge any tuition fees to those who are eager to learn from him; instead, he teaches them with all his heart and soul. As he says, "If there is one more person in this world who can save lives and alleviate suffering, then there will be one less share of suffering." What a great deed! How can we not admire such a selfless act?

  Of course, doing good things requires a price to be paid. The price is that although Hus pharmacy business is booming, it also loses money. So, after opening the pharmacy for so many years, Dr. Hu not only didnt make any money but also suffered losses. If it werent for the nearby medicinal herb farmers who appreciated Dr. Hus kindness and were willing to sell herbs at a low price to Hus pharmacy, Hus pharmacy would have closed down long ago.

  Lin Lan also thought so, and would rather earn less money, but sell the herbs to Hu Ji, considering it as tuition for Master Hu.

  "Little sister is here!" Second Brother Wang Da Hai, who was in charge of maintaining order for the patients, smiled and came over to greet Lin Lan when he saw her arrive.

  "Second Master, where is Master?" Lin Lan put the duck eggs behind the medicine cabinet and untied the bamboo basket.

  "Master has gone out to see a patient, and Big Brother is sitting in the hall!" Wang Da Hai took over the bamboo basket and looked at it: "Ah, this time youve picked quite a few irises! The shop is just short of these!"

  "I knew the store was short, I specially picked some up. Theres not much calamus in our area, it took me a lot of effort." Lin Lan rolled up her sleeves: "Ill help Big Brother sit in on the diagnosis."

  "Wang Dahai hastily said: Dont worry, little sister, go eat first. Ive asked the kitchen to keep some food for you."

  Lin Lan smiled and made a silly face, flattering: "Second Brother is still the best."

  Just then, Mr. Hu walked in with a gloomy face.

  nb)

  Lin Lan and Wang Dahai looked at each other in dismay, wondering if their master had encountered some kind of trouble today.

  "Master..." Lin Lan and Wang Da Hai called out respectfully.

  Mr. Hu nodded and sighed, then went into the inner hall.

  Wang Dahai called out to Fifth Brother Mo Ziyu and asked in a low voice, "Whats wrong with Master?"

  Mozi You slammed down the medicine box and indignantly said: "They say that evil people will get their retribution, but I think its all nonsense. It seems like those who bring disaster can live for a thousand years."

  "Eldest Master, lets get straight to the point." Lin Lan said urgently.

  Moziyou beckoned to the two of them and signaled for them to come closer, whispering: "The Zhang family has had another death."

  Lin Lan took a cold breath: "Which girl has been harmed again?"

  "She was the daughter of a tenant farmer in Zhangs family, because she owed five taels of silver to Zhang Dahu, Zhang Dahu took her away as compensation. The girl was also a strong-willed person and couldnt bear the humiliation, so she swallowed gold and killed herself this morning..." Mo Ziyu stuck out his tongue, rolled up his eyes, and made a deadpan expression.

  "When I and my master rushed over, the girl had already lost her voice, only constantly crying. Alas! My master wanted to save her, but unfortunately, it was too late."

  Lin Lan was furious: "How can no one control this? Such bullying and evil deeds, is there still any justice?"

  "Money can make a ghost grind a mill," Wang Dahai sneered, "let alone an official who opens his eyes when he sees money."

  Mozi shook his head and sighed, waving his hand: "I think Master must have been uncomfortable for a while now, lets all be careful!"

  Masters mood is not good, Lin Lan thinks its inconvenient to ask questions, after dinner, she helped busy in the pharmacy, and then bid farewell, carrying duck eggs to Yes house in Fengan County.

  In terms of financial resources, the Ye family far surpasses the Zhang family. However, the Ye family is low-key in their actions and occasionally provides porridge to help those in poverty, earning the head of the Ye family the reputation of being a great philanthropist. Its said that the Ye family has connections within the imperial court, so while the wealthy Zhang family dares to bully anyone in Feng An County, they dont dare to provoke the Ye family.

  It so happened that Lin Lan knew Yao Mama, who was in charge of purchasing food materials for the Ye family. Lin Lan planned to sell the basket of duck eggs to the Ye family.

  "Lin Lan! Its not that I dont want to help, its just that the people in the mansion are tired of eating duck eggs." Yao Mama said with difficulty, looking at the full basket of duck eggs. Ever since she got to know Lin Lan, there seemed to be no end to the duck eggs on the dining table of Ye Mansion, and everyone in the mansion had a lot of opinions about it. The pressure on her as the person in charge of food procurement was huge!

  "Mother Yao, just help me out this one time! Besides, duck eggs are great! Theyre nutritious and cool in nature, nourishing the yin and clearing the lungs. They can cure all sorts of ailments like dry coughs, sore throats, diarrhea, and dysentery..." Lin Lan rattled off a string of benefits.

  Mrs. Yao frowned: "I know duck eggs have many benefits, but... everyone is really tired of eating them."

  Lin Lan had to brazenly say: "Then you take it and make salted duck eggs! In the summer, paired with white porridge, its the most delicious. Just this once, I wont come to trouble Old Mother Yao again."

  Mrs. Yao couldnt bear to lose face, and besides, Lin Lan had saved her daughter-in-laws and grandsons lives before... The other party had already said it so clearly... Mrs. Yao reluctantly said: "Alright then, well just accept this for now."

  Lin Lan was overjoyed: "Thank you so much, Auntie Yao! Youre really a kind person!"

  Mrs. Yao smiled wryly, hoping this was really the last time.

  Lin Lan felt relieved after resolving the duck egg issue and was ready to head home.

  On the small path of Xi Village, Yao Jinhua twisted her waist, with a smile on her face and a pleasant mood.

  She had just been to Wangs matchmakers house and received a huge piece of good news, saying that Zhang Dahu in Fengan County was willing to take a young, beautiful, healthy girl as his 18th concubine, with a generous betrothal gift. Zhang Dahu is 53 years old this year, with many wives and concubines in the family, but unfortunately, he has few children, and at the age of 50, he has no sons, only three daughters. Zhang Dahu put out the word that if any of his concubines could give birth to a son, he would reward them with 300 mu of good land and 800 taels of gold. Yao Jinhua thought, young, beautiful, healthy, isnt Lin Lan suitable? If Lin Lan marries into the Zhang family and has the good fortune to give birth to a son, then the vast wealth of the Zhang family will belong to Lin Lan and her mother, and she, as Lin Lans sister-in-law, can also benefit. She had already asked Wangs matchmaker to go to the Zhang familys house to respond, and Wangs matchmaker patted his chest and guaranteed that this matter would definitely be successful, telling her to wait for good news.

  Yao Jinhua thought the more beautiful, as if she saw a pile of gold in front of her eyes flashing ... careless stepped on a soft and fluffy thing, almost slipped.

  Yao Jinhua looked down and saw that it was a pile of cow dung, she was so angry that she jumped up and scolded: "Damn it! Whose cow is so blind, shitting everywhere? When I have money in the future, Ill go live in a big mansion, no longer living in this broken place..."
