"My eldest daughter-in-law saw that the child was not well, so she brought the child to seek medical treatment. Unexpectedly, the child had a miserable life. Doctor Shen happened to be away from home. If the child had not been treated in time, she would not have become a fool. My poor granddaughter! How will she live in the future?"

Old Ma cried and shouted at the same time, her shrill voice was particularly harsh.

When she said this, the villagers who were watching the fun were shocked, but many villagers also sympathized with Xiaocao.

Oh my god! This old Ma is really good at talking nonsense! He is just trying to extort money, he doesn't care about his dignity at all!

Old Ma became angry and embarrassed by the surprised looks of the crowd.

"What are you looking at? Is there anything wrong with what I said? If Doctor Shen had not treated Cao'er in time, would my granddaughter have become a fool?" Old Mrs. Ma argued.

When the villagers thought about it, it seemed to make some sense. If Doctor Shen was at home, perhaps the child would have received timely treatment and would not have become stupid.

Some of those with simple ideas were really fooled by Mr. Ma for a while.

Some people also started to discuss, "It seems that what Old Ma said makes some sense. If Doctor Shen had treated the child at home in time, perhaps the child would not have become a fool."

"Hey! Who says it's not true? That child is so pitiful. We can only say that she has a miserable life!"

Mrs. Feng opened her mouth and wanted to say something in rebuttal, but was stunned by Mrs. Ma's shamelessness and was speechless for a moment.

Liu Jinfeng snorted for a long time, "You, you old hag are just making trouble!"

Sixth Grandpa sighed. After watching for so long, if he still couldn't see old Ma's purpose, then his life would be lived in vain.

However, what he is most worried about now is the child. The Gu family has been here for so long, but they have no intention of letting him see them.

"Let me see the child first!" Sixth Grandpa frowned.

When Mrs. Lou heard what Sixth Grandpa said, she suddenly looked up at Grandpa Changsheng, and excitedly picked up the child and was about to come up.

Shen Lianchuan could see the meaning in Lou's eyes. Thinking of the hardships he and his wife had gone through when raising Changsheng, Shen Lianchuan didn't say anything to discourage her.

But when Mrs. Ma saw that Mrs. Lou was about to step forward, she grabbed her eldest daughter-in-law.

"What are you doing? This girl's brain is burnt out. Can you cure her brain?

If it can really be cured, why has Changsheng remained stupid for so many years without recovery? "

Old Ma grabbed her eldest daughter-in-law, poked Lou's head with her right hand, but glanced at Changsheng who was standing beside her.

Changsheng's eyes widened, "I'm not a fool!"

Old Ma didn't care about Changsheng's reaction. After teaching her daughter-in-law a lesson, she turned to look at Shen Lianchuan and said, "Doctor Shen, don't look at him anymore. Anyone with eyes can tell that the child's brain is burned out. Can you cure him by just looking at him?

If you really have this ability, why is your father still a fool?

This girl has become a fool because of your delay in treatment. How can she get married?

We are from the same village. If it is any other minor illness or pain, we can just delay it and endure it, and we won’t say anything. But this girl has become a fool now. You must know what a fool is like better than me. How is she going to live in the future?

This girl is now in my hands!

I can't get married, and I need someone to serve me. We are all poor people. It's good enough for us to support ourselves. How can we afford to support this big Buddha?" Old Ma slapped her thigh and complained.

When the villagers thought of the difficulties faced by Mrs. Ma, they couldn't help but feel sympathy for her.

"Although Mrs. Ma is unreasonable, her situation is really pitiful." A villager said with sympathy.

"Who says it's not true? Her family is having a hard time. Who among us doesn't know that?"

"Yes! We were already poor, and now we have a stupid girl who can't get married. Life will be like this from now on, tut tut tut..."

"However, this is not Dr. Shen's fault." Feng interrupted the crowd.

Someone immediately retorted, "You can't say it doesn't matter at all!"

"What does this have to do with Doctor Shen?"

"Didn't Mrs. Ma say that when the girl was brought here, Doctor Shen was not at home, which delayed her treatment."

"Then why don't you say that the Gu family came late? Didn't they say that he had a fever for several days? He was only brought in today, and Doctor Shen happened to be on duty." Liu Jinfeng added immediately.

"Alas! I can only say that the child has a bad fate!"

The villagers were talking about it. Changsheng saw that no one paid attention to him, so he lowered his head dejectedly and muttered softly: "I'm not a fool, I'm not a fool, I'm not a fool..."

Lou listened to the villagers' discussions and lowered her head in shame.

When Mrs. Ma heard the villagers say that the dead girl had a bad fate, she immediately exploded, "Bah! How can this girl have a bad fate? How could she grow up well in my family if she had a bad fate? It's obviously the quack doctor who harmed her!"

She was seen shouting while pointing her finger at Shen Rong. "How long has Changsheng's wife learned medical skills? My girl is seriously ill. She is a half-baked herbalist who has only learned herbs for a few days. Isn't it nonsense to treat a child?

She said that the child drank ginger soup, is it ginger soup? I also said that it was because Changsheng's wife gave this girl random medicine that made my granddaughter become a fool!

Folks, do you think the Shen family should pay for this?"

Old Ma's words once again directed her criticism at Shen Rong.

For a moment, the villagers didn't know which side to stand on.

Shen Rong's heart sank.

If everyone is like Old Ma, will we still be able to treat illnesses in the future? Wouldn't it be a mess?

Shen Rong took a step forward.

"Fellow villagers, please listen to me. I will not tell you that Xiaocao had a fever for a few days at home. When he was brought here today, he was already unconscious.

Just because my grandfather has been practicing medicine in the village for decades, I believe everyone knows what kind of person he is.

My grandfather treated the villagers. He would go up the mountain himself to look for herbs he could find, and he never charged for the herbs he collected.

However, the people in our village are all honest. After seeing a doctor, they will send some vegetables and eggs back. There is no need to say much about the friendship between the villagers.

Now, my grandfather has passed on his legacy to me, teaching me to be a skilled doctor, to value morality, to be kind to the world, to be virtuous, and to be a good doctor to help the world.

Sanniang has always kept her grandfather's teachings in mind, so she naturally doesn't dare to prescribe medicine for anyone without good medical skills. What's more, I am not qualified to prescribe medicine for anyone now. Sanniang dare not act rashly. After all, this is a human life.

Grandma Ma said that I gave Xiaocao careless treatment, which caused Xiaocao to become a fool. I, Shen Sanniang, do not admit this!

If everyone makes a fuss like this, will doctors still dare to treat patients?"

"That's right! Isn't it common that doctors can't cure diseases? If doctors can't cure diseases, everyone will come to trouble them. Who in this world would dare to cure diseases and save lives?"

Shen Wu walked into the yard with a loud voice, followed by his sons, Lu, and several daughters-in-law.

When Shen Rong saw her parents and brothers and sisters-in-law, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Dad, Mom, brother, sister-in-law." Shen Rong simply greeted her family.

As soon as Shen Rong's family arrived, this side immediately seemed less weak.

"Kid, why didn't you go back to your parents' home to call for help when this happened?" Mrs. Lu walked to her daughter and patted Shen Rong's arm.

"Mom, didn't this happen suddenly?" Shen Rong pulled her mother's arm and whispered.

She didn't expect that her mother and brother and sister-in-law would come back at this time. Could it be that her younger brother's marriage has been settled?

Shen Rong couldn't help but glance at her younger brother, but saw that he was staring at Old Ma and his group with a fierce look, and she couldn't make out anything at all.

The trouble was right in front of her. Shen Rong only took a quick glance and then turned her attention back to the old Ma mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Here, Shen Wu and several of his sons stood next to Shen Lianchuan, looking at old Ma with unfriendly eyes.

When Old Ma saw that it was Shen Rong's family who spoke up for her, she sneered, "Oh! Who did I think it was? Your daughter Shen Sanniang made my granddaughter sick, so of course you're speaking up for her! But my granddaughter's brain is seriously damaged!"

Shen Rong looked at Lou who was holding the child without saying a word, "Aunt Lou, what's wrong with your daughter? Please tell me something!"
