A'Lan stepped forward and smiled shyly, "Are you my Second Cousin's wife, Wang-shi?"

Upon hearing her, Wang-shi was stunned and only then did she learn that it was Sun-shi's relative who had come.

"It turns out that it was Cousin who had come. Mother is resting inside the house. Come in first and I'll call her."

After speaking, Wang-shi was about to turn around. Unexpectedly, A'Lan covered her mouth and smiled.

"Second Cousin, this is the first time we've met. I've heard people say before that second cousin's looks are average and her figure isn't that good either. I didn't believe it before, but it really was…"

Saying this, A'Lan didn't continue, she just squinted at Wang-shi, covering her mouth while laughing.

Xiaoya was instantly furious. She was about to come forward to ask for an explanation, but was held back by Wang-shi.

"What Cousin had said was right. I am already a mother of two, so how could my appearance be compared with A'Lan?"

She twisted her body while feeling proud.

"Of course, in the entire Shili village, the one that could be as pretty as A'Lan isn't born yet!"

"Who was arguing outside and woke me from my sleep?"

Before Wang-shi could reply, A'Lan was already one step ahead of her.

"Aunt, is that Aunt? It's A'Lan!"

Then, they heard the sound of footsteps from inside the house and saw Sun-shi rushing out.

"Oh, it's A'Lan. Quick, let Aunt take a look at you."

Sun-shi held onto A'Lan's shoulders and took a careful look, and then looked again.

"Aiyo, my lovely niece is getting more and more beautiful now!"

A'Lan smiled. "A'Lan misses Aunt. Mother asked me to bring this to Aunt. In that case, A'Lan will be troubling Aunt for a while."

With that, A'Lan handed the package in her hands to Sun-shi.

Sun-shi immediately smiled, "Look at you all, you're being too courteous."

After saying that, Sun-shi hurriedly opened the package and took a look,her face suddenly sank.

Luo-shi, who was listening at the door, noticed it immediately. She hurried forward to take a look and then burst out laughing.

Sun-shi immediately rolled her eyes.

Luo-shi muttered: "I thought it was some good stuff, but it turns out it's just some wild vegetables."

But Sun-shi still had to give some face to her niece.

She quickly smiled: "These wild vegetables are pretty good and A'Lan really even had to bring them all the way here. Quick, go in."

A'Lan wriggled and entered the house.

If a pretty girl came to the village, wouldn't everyone know soon? At this time, there were already many men with mud on their legs gathered in front of the Lin Family's courtyard, wanting to see what that pretty girl looked like.

At this moment, a man shouted at Wang-shi, "Lin's Second Daughter-in-Law, I heard that your relative has come? Why don't you show us how that girl looks so that we can have a feast in our eyes?"

"That's right, this good girl is just like a good thing. You can't just hide her to yourselves!"

These men kept talking and their words made a married woman like Wang-shi feel shy. She quickly pulled Xiaoya inside the house.

But Wang-shi was really grateful towards A'Lan in her heart, who just happened to come at this time, otherwise, she would be scolded by Sun-shi.

At this moment, Lin Xiaoye took the basin and went to the river with her changed clothes. Recently, she had been bathing rather diligently and the smell on her body wasn't that bad. Most importantly, it was due to the ginger juice.

It seemed like she was slowly heading towards the right path these days, so she was in quite a good mood.

When she arrived at the riverside, she saw that many of the wives were chatting among themselves. Upon seeing her passing by, they only took a glance before turning their heads to continue their chatter.

Lin Xiaoye smiled.

Half of the village knew her reputation and if this was in the modern era, she would probably become a celebrity.

Unexpectedly, these people actually weren't talking about her.

"All of you didn't see it. After my husband returned, his eyes were vertical."

A woman said.

"Really? It's the same with my husband as well, he seemed to have lost his soul. Do you think that relative of the Lin's Old Matriarch is some sort of fox spirit who seduces the souls of men?"

"What? There was such a thing?"

"Isn't it? I heard from someone that we have to be careful with this kind of thing. When we go back home, we have to look after our man."

"Say, that relative of the Lin's Old Matriarch is really evil. There was someone like that before and now there's this fox spirit. It really is unsettling."

After that, those aunts rolled their eyes at Lin Xiaoye.

Lin Xiaoye initially thought that she had done a good job of washing her clothes, but she suddenly felt a gust of cold wind from behind her, causing her to shudder.

Fox spirit? A relative of Lin's old matriarch? Could it be that a new person had appeared?

However, she didn't want to get involved in this. The most important thing for her was to earn money. As for whether or not it was a fox spirit, it had nothing to do with her.

Could it be that she could hook Huo Li's soul as well?

Lin Xiaoye suddenly shivered with this thought.

"If that fox spirit can really hook that iceberg, then she's really capable."

Thinking about Huo Li, she couldn't help but laugh.

What she didn't know was that these things would soon come true.

In the next few days, Sun-shi was too busy taking care of A'Lan, so she didn't have the time to teach Wang-shi and Xiaoya a lesson. Furthermore, there were quite a few men surrounding their Lin's family courtyard every day.

As a result, after so many days passed, Wang-shi and Xiaoya had a few days of comfort.

As for Lin Xiaoye, she had put in a lot of effort during this period of time, allowing Wang-shi and Xiaoya to have some good food everyday. It had only been a few days, but Wang-shi's weak body and pale face instantly improved by quite a bit.

But at this moment, a problem arose. It was because of her hard work, that the silver in Lin Xiaoye's hands suffered.

As Lin Xiaoye walked through the town while counting the ten copper coins she had left. She was so anxious that her scalp was breaking.

"It's not going to work if this goes on, but how can I be so lucky as to find something good every day?"

The herbs on the mountain were also worthless, the herbal medicine shops were not in need of them, could it be that her livelihood would end like this?

Just as Lin Xiaoye was feeling worried, she scratched her neck. All of a sudden, there was a sign board in front of her; "Jishi Hall".

"Jishi Hall? Could it be that this clinic possesses the ability to resurrect the dead and save the world?"

Since I had nothing better to do, why not go in and take a look?

With this in mind, Lin Xiaoye headed towards the clinic. There were really a lot of people in the clinic.

Looking at the people walking in and out of the hall, which was crowded with quite a few people, Lin Xiaoye was speechless.

What is this? Was there a plague or bird flu? Why are so many people sick?
