Chapter 6 Vigilance
  "What to do?" Gu Yunting looked alert.

Could it be that Lin Ling wanted to use the four taels of silver to make bets and make a fortune?
  One look at his expression, Lin Ling knew that he had misunderstood.

Previously, the original owner had not planned like this. She wanted to use a small trick to make a big deal, and if she made a profit, she would be the one to keep it. If she lost, she would keep Gu Yunting's name. However, she did not have the principal in hand at the time, so she made a few circumstantial inquiries. I gave up this idea.

"Ms. sir, you misunderstood." Lin Ling explained softly, "I want to help you repay your debt. After all, one person's strength is weak."

Her eyes were sincere and sincere, and a bit of surprise flashed in Gu Yunting's eyes.

After a while, he tentatively said: "There are still twelve taels left."

Lin Ling was speechless.

There are so many? !
  She thought about it and nodded. Just when she was about to speak, she heard the cheers of the third child——

"Mom! Dad! It's time to eat!"

Lin Ling responded, greeted Gu Yunting again, and walked back first.

Gu Yunting stared at Lin Ling's back and frowned. Why did he feel that Lin Ling seemed to have changed?
  But he didn't dare to let down his guard. She had always been too arrogant. He had been deceived by her many times before, and suddenly changed his mind. He was probably trying to relax everyone's vigilance, either for gambling to make a big gain out of something small, or because he wanted to sell again. Boss’s wife!
  Thinking of this, Gu Yunting was cautious.

But when he packed up his knitting things and walked home, he was stunned when he saw the fragrant, white rice on the table.

Especially the third child is still cheering, "Dad! There are still eggs today! Mom bought them too, one for each person!"

When he said that each person had one, he only glanced at Lin Ling with guilty eyes.

In the past, they had to honor their mother, and he would eat one with his sister.

Lin Ling touched his little head and said, "Yes, one for each person."

The third child cheered even more happily and ran around the simple dining table. Gu Panxue also jumped down from the bench and ran after him. The eldest daughter-in-law was peeling eggs for everyone with a smile, while the eldest son was serving rice. The steady second brother shook his head, and after setting the chopsticks for everyone, he sat upright on the dining table, like a little adult.

Gu Yunting looked a little dazed.

There has never been such a harmonious atmosphere at the Gu family's dining table.

But I haven’t forgotten to ask, “Where did these things come from?”

In times of famine, rice was a luxury, let alone eggs.

Lin Ling's expression didn't change, and she said calmly: "I was passing by the town and bought it."

"The children have lost weight, so it's time to eat something good."

Gu Yunting obviously didn't believe it, but in front of the child, he didn't say much, and expressionlessly helped Gu Panxue, who was running so happily that he almost fell, and there was a bit of tenderness in his stern eyebrows.

"Xiaoxue, be careful."

Gu Panxue responded with a sweet smile.

Lin Ling never received another look from Gu Yunting. She shook her head secretly. The original owner had gone too far. Gu Yunting had no trust in her at all.

But she still wanted to give it a try, looked at Gu Yunting, and said solemnly: "I really plan to live a good life with you."

Gu Yunting's eyes flashed and he didn't answer, but said: "Let's eat first."

"Yes, yes! Dad, sit down and eat quickly! I'm hungry!" Gu Laosan said greedily, touching his belly, swallowing his saliva and calling for the peeled eggs.

Gu Yunting nodded and sat down.

Lin Ling picked up the bowl and chopsticks first. After she moved the chopsticks, several children also picked up the chopsticks. Although everyone had not had a full meal for a long time, Gu Yunting usually restrained the children well and ate the meal quietly.

Lin Ling rarely had a full meal.

At night, she and Gu Yunting slept back to back again. Lin Ling knew that Gu Yunting didn't believe her yet, but he was not in a hurry. There was only a long time to come. At dawn the next day, there was a knock on Gu’s door, accompanied by an urgent shout——

"Yunting! Yunting, are you at home? Your elder brother fainted!"

As soon as Lin Ling sat up in a daze, she saw that Gu Yunting had already rushed out with a quick stride.

Soon, there was a conversation.

"Mom, what's wrong, brother?"

"I don't know either! He said he wanted to go to the toilet in the morning, and as soon as he got up, he fell to the ground...I...I couldn't help him! Yunting, what should I do?!"

Gu Yunting quickly calmed down, took out a few coins and asked Bai to call a doctor, while he went home and prepared to help Gu Dashan, who was still lying on the ground.

Lin Ling also followed out.

"What are you doing here?" Gu Yunting scolded, "Go back! Don't make trouble!"

His tone was cold, and Lin Ling didn't care. "That's my eldest uncle after all. I have to go and see."

She is a doctor, and being there at times like this is always useful.

Gu Yunting was concerned about Gu Dashan's safety and didn't want to waste his words on this matter, so he quickened his pace. When the two of them helped Gu Dashan to the bed, Bai also pulled a rickety man like a farmer into the house.

"Ah Cai, look at my mountain." Bai said anxiously.

The rickety man sat down, opened Gu Dashan's eyelids, took a look, and then made a decision, "He's hungry! I'll just give him a few injections."

Lin Ling was immediately stunned.

You pried off someone's eyelids and didn't even feel their pulse, so you said the patient fainted from hunger?

Is this doctor so watery?
  Looking behind him, Lin Ling realized that he had judged too early, because the "doctor" called Ah Cai meant to prick Gu Dashan's tiger's mouth with an embroidery needle. There were all blood beads, but he didn't mean to wake up at all, and there was a bit more blood on the bed.

"Do you know how to cure it?!" Gu Yunting also saw something was wrong, grabbed Ah Cai's collar and asked angrily.

Ah Cai spoke righteously, "Why can't I do it anymore? I have cured all the pigs, cows, and sheep in the village. Which time did I fail to cure them?!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ling realized that Bai was hiring a veterinarian!
  Gu Yunting threw Ah Cai out directly.

"I'll do it." Lin Ling sighed, sat next to Gu Dashan, and took his pulse.

It was a fever. It had been extremely hot in Dawan Village for the past two days, and Gu Dashan fainted from the heat.

Lin Ling was glad that she got the silver needle rewarded by the system, but the silver needle had to be sterilized. "I need to light strong liquor and candlelight. If there is really no wine, fire will do. I have to simply sterilize it."

Gu Yunting was stunned.

"You know how to treat illnesses?!"

Bai Shi gave up, "Lin Ling! I know you have been complaining in your heart that I ignored your wishes and insisted on setting up your marriage with Yunting with your father. But over the years, our Gu family has not been kind to you. Bar?"

"Even if you are angry, just vent it at me!"

Lin Ling looked confused.

Where is this going?

But before she could explain, Bai burst into tears, sat down on the ground and shouted, "If you want to move the mountain today, just step over my body!"
