As soon as this was said, someone immediately agreed, "That's right! In the town, you charge one fee for seeing a doctor and another fee for prescribing medicine. Old Ma, you dared to make Dr. Shen afraid to treat the villagers again. From now on, if anyone of us is sick, we will go to your house to ask for money and go to the town to see a doctor."

"Right! We can't let everyone else have to pay more for medical treatment just because of your family!"

Shen Lianchuan never charged villagers for his medical treatment, at most he just charged a little for the medicine.

He did not charge for common medicines found in the mountains. He only charged for some medicinal materials that were not found in the mountains and were brought in from the pharmacy. This price was already extremely low for the villagers.

The reason why Shen Lianchuan did this was, firstly, that he sympathized with the poor families in the village, and secondly, he wanted to take care of more villagers so that when the two of them were gone in the future, everyone could take care of Changsheng.

Finally, Shen Lianchuan also wanted to accumulate more good karma for Changsheng.

The villagers crowded into Changsheng's yard, talking to each other, not giving Old Ma a chance to speak.

Old Ma was so angry that her face turned blue. She raised her hand and pinched her second daughter-in-law, "Why are you standing there like an idiot? Call all the men in the family!"

"Oh! Mom, I'll go right away!" Little Ma ran out.

The villagers didn't react for a moment and let Xiao Ma rush out of the yard.

"Old Ma, even if you call your 19 oldest grandchildren over here, you won't succeed in this matter today!"

"Yes! With so many of us, how can we be afraid of your family?"

"If you ask your daughter-in-law to call people, why don't we call anyone?" This was said by a member of the Shen family.

The cousin didn't say anything. He just waved to the children playing outside and asked them to go back and call some help.

Other members of the Shen family followed suit.

Although the Gu family also disagreed with the behavior of the old Ma family, they did not go back to call for help. As fellow clansmen, they had to give Gu Laotian some face.

Seeing that she seemed to have aroused public anger, Old Ma began to feel nervous. She rushed towards Lou and pushed the mother and daughter to the ground, cursing, "Are you a dead person? Your daughter is stupid, and you won't ask for her life?"

Lou fell to the ground while holding her daughter. Xiaocao was frightened, her eyes widened, she didn't know how to cry, let alone get up from the ground, she just lay there in a daze.

Lou was already on the verge of collapse, and her mother-in-law pushed her hard, causing her to fall hard and she couldn't get up for a long time.

Seeing this, Ma became even more furious. "You are a dead man! You have been here for so long and you don't even say a word! The child has such a bad fever and you didn't even tell me earlier... He has become a fool, what shall we do in the future... You are such a money-loser, why don't you just die..."

Old Ma scolded and beat her while Lou hid on the ground with her head in her hands, not daring to look up.

Xiao Cao lay on the ground in a daze. Even after being beaten by Old Ma, she didn't cry or make a fuss.

The villagers couldn't help but shake their heads when they saw this.

This was the scene Shen Rong saw when she came out of the house.

When everyone saw Shen Rong coming out, they immediately advised: "Changsheng's wife, don't take the silver. Our village cannot encourage this kind of atmosphere."

"Yes! Changsheng's wife, you should take the silver back quickly! Compensation is impossible!"

"We all disagree with you paying compensation to Mr. Ma!" the villagers protested.

When Mrs. Ma saw Shen Rong coming, she immediately stopped and looked at Shen Rong with a strong light in her eyes.

Shen Rong didn't look at her, but only looked at her grandfather.

Shen Lianchuan frowned and nodded at Shen Rong.

Seeing this, the villagers immediately stepped forward to stop them.

"Doctor Shen, you can't do that! Don't be stupid, Changsheng's wife. This shameless person can blackmail you once, and she can blackmail you twice. Don't let her succeed."

"Yes! Our village must not encourage this kind of evil trend!"

Shen Rong gave a forced smile, "Don't worry, uncles and aunts. My grandfather is old and mentally weak, and I am not very skilled. I will not treat patients in the future, and I will not be blackmailed. This once is enough."

When the villagers heard this, they felt very disappointed.

In the crowd, Xiao Zhuzi's grandmother cried out with tears in her eyes: "This damn old Ma doesn't give us a way to live! Our village has had Doctor Shen for many years, and every household in our village has been relieved of so much burden!"

After listening to what Xiao Zhuzi's grandmother said, the villagers thought about how Doctor Shen had been treating patients in the village for years and would not charge money if possible. In order to live longer, the two old people went from door to door to practice medicine, one collecting herbs.

At this time, Xiao Ma's voice came from outside the courtyard gate.

"Make way, make way, please make way!"

"I just won't let you, what can you do?"

As the crowd outside was making a lot of noise, another exclamation was heard inside.

"Patriarch Shen is here!"

The villagers looked back and saw that it was really Chieftain Shen, so they automatically made way for him.

As soon as Chief Shen, along with a few young men from the tribe, entered the yard, they saw the mother and daughter huddled on the ground.

Xiao Ma, her husband, uncles, aunts, and nineteen sons and nephews crowded into the yard.

At this time, the Shen family's yard was already crowded with people.

"What's going on?" Patriarch Shen had his hands behind his back, his brows never relaxed.

When everyone heard the clan leader's question, they immediately started talking to clan leader Shen about how old Ma had been making trouble and how Doctor Shen was forced to not dare to practice medicine in the village.

"Nonsense!" Patriarch Shen snorted coldly.

"If this gets out, will our Taohua Village's reputation be ruined? Will you guys still go out? How will people in the village marry off their daughters?"

After Patriarch Shen asked a series of questions, everyone felt that Old Ma was extremely hateful.

"Chief Shen, this is a matter between me and Doctor Shen's family. It has nothing to do with you. This matter is not as mysterious as you say..."

At this moment, even though Mrs. Ma had more than 20 sons and grandsons standing beside her, she still couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

Patriarch Shen snorted again, "I don't want to argue with a woman like you who has long hair and short vision. Who of you can go and call the head of the Gu family and Gu Laotian? I want to ask, what's wrong with the Gu family? Why are they always doing weird things? If you, the Gu family, don't want to live a good life, we, the Shen family and the Wang family, still have to live!"

As soon as Patriarch Shen finished speaking, the younger generation around him immediately ran out to call for help.

When Mrs. Ma heard that the clan leader was being invited, her heart skipped a beat. She was afraid that today's matter might not go as she wished.

Ever since a scholar emerged in the Gu family, the clan leader has become extremely concerned about reputation. Anyone who does something that damages the clan's morals will inevitably be punished.

Now that the Gu family's ancestral hall has been repaired, the most common punishment is either kneeling in the hall or cleaning it. People are locked up in the hall for days. Old Ma doesn't want to keep her ancestors company.

Old Ma's eyes rolled around, and in the blink of an eye, she thought of an excellent reason.
