Shen Rong came home after washing clothes. Before she even entered the door, she heard a familiar voice coming from the yard.

"Sixth Grandfather, how is my grandmother? Do I have to go to town to get medicine? All my money has been stolen and I don't have much money to pay. Can you...can you prescribe some cheap medicine?"

In the morning, after Shen Yuan woke up, he went into Liu's room.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Liu lying on the bed unconscious, her face pale. The cloth she had hastily used to bandage the wound last night had long been soaked with blood, and the pillow was covered with blood.

When Shen Yuan saw everything in front of him, he suddenly panicked.

Of course, she was not worried about Liu, but she was afraid that Gu Zhaoming would know that Liu's injury was caused by her.

However, Shen Yuan did not go out to find a doctor immediately. Instead, he took out all the money that Liu had hidden. In total, he only found a few pieces of silver, only two taels of silver.

Shen Yuan took the silver and went to the home of Old Man Shen, who was driving a cart at the entrance of the village, and asked him to help him go to the county to bring a message to Gu Zhaoming that his mother was sick.

After leaving Uncle Shen's house, they went to Shen Rong's house to ask Grandpa Shen Liu to check on Liu's injuries.

Shen Lianchuan treated the wound and took her pulse, then asked seriously, "How did your mother-in-law get hurt?"

Shen Yuan thought without thinking: "She fell. My mother-in-law fell last night and hit her head on the door. She seemed to be fine last night, so she bandaged it casually and went to sleep. I didn't expect that in the morning..."

Shen Lianchuan has already seen what happened.

Mrs. Liu had lost too much blood and was still unconscious. Her wounds had not been treated in time and she had a fever. After careful consideration, Shen Lianchuan prescribed a prescription for her.

The medicine in this prescription was based on what was available at home, so it was naturally not expensive. However, Mrs. Liu's illness could only be cured completely by taking more expensive medicines, so he temporarily prescribed two sets of medicine for her to take.

So, after Shen Lianchuan treated Liu's wound, he asked Shen Yuan to get medicine. He also told Shen Yuan that her mother-in-law must take medicine worth three taels of silver per dose before she could get better.

Naturally, Shen Yuan was unwilling to spend so much money to buy medicine for Liu. She hoped that Liu would never wake up, but she still had to do some face-saving work.

This is what Shen Rong heard before she entered the room.

Shen Rong paused. What happened to Liu?

Shen Lianchuan stroked his beard and said helplessly: "Forget it, just try this medicine first. If it doesn't work... I'll try another prescription."

Gu Lianchuan wrapped the medicine and handed it to Shen Yuan. At this time, Shen Rong walked into the yard.

"Grandpa." Shen Rong called him Grandpa, then looked at Shen Yuan, "Yuanyuan, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Yuan frowned and said worriedly, "My mother-in-law fell down last night and hit her head. She hasn't woken up yet."

Shen Rong raised her eyebrows. She didn't believe a word of what Shen Yuan said.

Sure enough, before she could say anything, Shen Yuan's inner voice reached her ears: Why didn't the damn old woman throw her to death?

Now I am lying in bed half dead, and I still have to spend money to buy medicine. A dose of medicine costs ten cents!

If she had known earlier, she would have done nothing after the old woman fell last night and let her die from excessive blood loss.

Shen Rong put down the basin and walked to Shen Yuan, showing a surprised expression on her face, "Ah! Why did you fall suddenly? Is it serious?"

How did you fall?

Of course she pushed it! Shen Yuan thought.

If that old woman dares to scold her, she should be prepared to be beaten.

However, this cannot be told to outsiders, not even Gu Zhaoming.

Shen Yuan said sadly:

"My mother-in-law slipped and hit her head on the door lintel when she fell. She got up as if nothing had happened. There was no light in the room, so I couldn't see clearly.

My mother-in-law casually bandaged the wound and went back to her room to sleep. Unexpectedly, when I got up in the morning to see her, she was still asleep and there was blood on her pillow. I was scared.

Sixth Grandfather said that I need to take good blood-replenishing medicine, but good medicine is expensive. My family’s money was stolen by thieves, so I can’t afford expensive medicine. I can only prescribe some cheap medicine for you to take first, and wait for my husband to come back, and then we’ll see what to do!”

The dead old woman can't get out of bed now, and has to make a living at her hands. She will definitely let the old woman taste the dangers of this world.

Shen Yuan just felt extremely happy.

Shen Rong listened to Shen Yuan's inner thoughts and watched him talk nonsense in a serious manner. She felt very complicated. As expected, evildoers will be punished by evildoers. In her previous life, she never dared to think that she, as a daughter-in-law, would hit her mother-in-law. The word "filial piety" was more important than anything else, and it suffocated her.

If she could be like Shen Yuan, she wouldn't have suffered so much, endured so much hardship, and ended up like that.

Shen Rong looked at the false worry on Shen Yuan's face and felt mixed emotions.

She seemed to understand vaguely that as long as she didn't care about the eyes of others and was not held morally hostage by others, no matter where she was, and didn't put herself in a difficult position, no one could put her in a difficult position.

And Shen Yuan is just like that, even if it means using any means necessary to satisfy his lies, he only does it for himself.

People like her will live well no matter where they are.

To be honest, Shen Rong admired Shen Yuan from the bottom of her heart. However, she would not harm others for her own benefit like Shen Yuan, nor would she hurt innocent people for no reason.

Of course, Shen Yuan and Gu Zhaoming are not innocent in Shen Rong's eyes.

Shen Rong followed Shen Yuan's words and comforted her for a while.

Shen Yuan didn't really need Shen Rong's comfort. She wished the old woman would die quickly.

"Sanniang, I'm going to go back and boil some medicine for my mother-in-law."

Shen Yuan didn't want to say much. Performing in front of outsiders must be tiring, okay?

"Okay, let's talk next time when we have time." Shen Rong said softly.

Shen Yuan took the medicine and left Shen Rong's house.

"Bastard son, bastard son!"

Under the old soapberry tree in Taohua Village, a group of children saw Gu Erniu passing by carrying a bundle of firewood, and they all pointed at him and shouted with smiles.

Gu Erniu's head drooped even lower.

Ever since the incident at the Gu family ancestral hall, Gu Erniu, as a son of illegitimate children, could no longer hold his head up in the village. His former playmates no longer wanted to play with him and kept their distance from him.

In the village, even little kids of only a few years old dared to point at him and scold him.

If it were in the past, he would have taught these little brats a lesson, but now, he just wanted to stay away from these people and didn't dare to fight with them.

Gu Erniu was scared, but the kids had no intention of letting him go.

One by one, they held clods of earth in their hands and threw them at Gu Erniu.

Gu Erniu was beaten till his face was covered in dirt. It didn't hurt but it was extremely insulting.

Changsheng was standing among a group of little rascals. He looked at Gu Erniu and threw clods of earth at him in an intimidating manner.

When Shen Rong came over, she happened to see this scene.

She didn't expect that Changsheng would bully others again.

However, she didn't stop.

When she was just reborn, she fell into the water and was rescued by Changsheng. Then her brother was bullied by Gu Erniu for no reason. This time, Changsheng was avenging his brother-in-law.

Since her rebirth, Shen Rong has never intended to be a goody-goody, and she will always seek revenge.

"Changsheng, go home for dinner!" Shen Rong shouted while standing not far from the old soapberry tree.

Although the family had an extra 20 acres of paddy fields, Shen Rong did not take them back, but rented them out to the family that had cultivated the fields before. Then she would only need to collect rent. All Changsheng had to do every day was to take care of the five medicinal fields. It was not a lot of work to do, and Changsheng had some time to play with his friends every day.

He said he was playing with those kids, but in fact he was just watching a few kids play from the side.

When Changsheng heard Shen Rong's call, he turned around and saw Shen Rong, his eyes suddenly lit up. He walked to Shen Rong's side with a few steps, and habitually held Shen Rong's hand, "Go home."

"Yeah." This time, Shen Rong did not hesitate, nor did she break away from Changsheng's hand because of other people's eyes. She let Changsheng hold her.

Shen Rong had figured it out long ago: as long as she didn't hurt others and did what she liked, no one could interfere.

Now, she knew very well that she would like Changsheng to hold her hand and go home together.

The two of them turned around holding hands, and Shen Rong saw Gu Zhaoming standing behind her carrying a book box.

Shen Rong's eyes naturally moved away from Gu Zhaoming, and then fell on the face of the person next to her, "Changsheng, I steamed the rice, and grandpa bought a piece of meat from the next village, and I also roasted it..."

Shen Rong walked past Gu Zhaoming while talking to Changsheng.

Gu Zhaoming was ignored. His eyes were fixed on the hands of the two people. He didn't believe it. He didn't believe that Shen Sanniang was willing to marry a fool. Shen Sanniang must be doing it for him to see!

Overwhelmed by jealousy, Gu Zhaoming forgot that before Shen Rong turned around and saw him, she and Changsheng were holding hands.

After dinner, Shen Rong was about to get some water to wipe her body clean and lie down on the bed to rest.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. If I don’t wipe the sweat off my face before taking a nap, I will feel uncomfortable.

Changsheng was very positive about everything clean. When he saw Shen Rong fetching water to wipe her sweat, he took a shower in the yard without Shen Rong telling him to.

"Changsheng, why are you taking a shower now?" As soon as Xiao Zhuzi entered the room, he saw Changsheng, who was all wet, and couldn't help but feel curious.

Changsheng glanced at Xiaozhuzi and said, "I'll be honest."

Shen Rong came out of the room carrying a basin of water, "Who are you talking to?"

When Changsheng saw Shen Rong coming out of the house with a basin of water, he immediately stepped forward, took the basin from Shen Rong's hand, and then poured the water into the corner.

When Xiao Zhuzi saw Shen Rong, he immediately remembered the purpose of his visit.

He trotted over to Shen Rong, "Aunt Rong, I saw it."

Shen Rong was stunned. "What did you see?"

"I saw the scholar's wife pour out her mother-in-law's medicine."
