She glanced fearfully at Mo Lingxi, pulled Tao Lengshuang to the side, and spoke softly about the Luo family's affairs.
According to Shen Ershen, after some of the Luo family's relatives were frightened by Mo Lingxi, they ran to the Luo family to complain, accompanied by a large crowd of onlookers from the village.
The villagers spread the word from one to another.
Within the time it took to eat lunch, the news of Luo Yang's shamelessness had spread to all the surrounding villages, and even the reputations of Old Man Luo and his wife were almost ruined.
Now, whoever mentioned Luo Yang in the village called her a slut, a shameless, low-life thing.
"Mo family, you don't have to worry anymore, Luo Yang won't snatch your man anymore."
Shen Ershen showed disdain and disgust: "I've long disliked Luo Yang. Look at what she's done. What decent girl could do such things?"
Before, Old Man Luo was the village chief, and everyone in the village fawned over Luo Yang, and no one dared to say much. But now it was different.
Tao Lengshuang felt no sympathy for Luo Yang, but she harbored no ill will either: "This matter is not over yet."
Shen Ershen was startled, then understood, and wiggled her fingers: "You're right."
"A family like the Luos, how could they give up so easily?"
She chuckled, looking puzzled: "Luo Yang clearly had a better way out, why must the Luo family cling to your man?"
Tao Lengshuang smiled and changed the subject: "Shen Ershen, I'm going to the mountains to gather firewood. Do you want to come along?"
Shen Ershen repeatedly said: "Don't go to the mountains to gather firewood yet. My relative has arrived and is waiting for you at my house."
"If you have time now, come with me to take a look?"
Tao Lengshuang said "Okay," then took Xiao Feng's hand and followed Shen Ershen to her house.
As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, she saw a woman in a linen dress, with a pale face and a thin figure, looking about thirty years old, walking with difficulty.
"Cousin, you're back. Who are these two...?" she asked weakly.
Shen Ershen quickly went forward to help her cousin sit down, smiled, and introduced Tao Lengshuang and her son, emphasizing how good Tao Lengshuang's medical skills were.
"This time, you must try it. Look at you, you're only in your twenties, older than me, and weaker than those old men and women."
As she spoke, she introduced her cousin to Tao Lengshuang: "My cousin's husband's surname is Li. You can call her Aunt Li."
Tao Lengshuang smiled and called out to her, asking kindly: "Aunt Li, may I take a look at you?"
When Aunt Li arrived, she had already heard from her cousin that she was going to invite a doctor to treat her, but she didn't expect the doctor to be so young.
Thinking it was her cousin's good intention, she smiled and nodded, extending her right hand.
Tao Lengshuang could see that Aunt Li did not believe her. Without explaining anything, she patiently felt her pulse and asked about the relevant situation, coming up with a treatment plan.
"This illness, simply put, is deficiency."
Shen Ershen and Aunt Li: "Deficiency?"
Tao Lengshuang nodded and explained in detail: "Aunt Li's body was not very good to begin with, and she didn't get enough nutrition while pregnant, which led to her current condition."
Aunt Li looked doubtful and distrustful: "But I've been nourishing my body, yet my health is still not good."
Being doubted, Tao Lengshuang was not annoyed. She smiled and explained: "Aunt Li, there are many ways to nourish the body."
"More importantly, it's about using the right medicine. Not all tonics are suitable for you."
Shen Ershen nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes. It's like my Zhuzi. Illnesses are also divided into many types."
Since Zhuzi's incident, she had understood two things: medicine should never be taken carelessly, let alone that every medicine was effective.
Aunt Li naturally believed her cousin. Hearing this, she suddenly realized: "So, the tonics I've been taking were all wrong?"
Tao Lengshuang shook her head, then nodded: "A small portion was right, but most were wrong."
"For example, the ginseng slices you've eaten were unnecessary. For your condition, dietary therapy combined with medication is the most suitable."
Aunt Li listened with surprise, a hint of hope emerging: "Really... can it be cured?"
Tao Lengshuang knew very well that to make Aunt Li believe her, she had to prove it with results: "Yes."
"For your condition, with good dietary therapy and prescriptions, it would take about half a year. If it's worse, it would take more than a year."
Shen Ershen, on the side, told her cousin to take two doses of medicine back to try. It was better than her current sickly appearance.
If she was truly cured, and then gave birth to a child for her in-laws, they would surely be even happier.
Aunt Li thought that she only had one son, and she was lonely, and had no help. She gritted her teeth and asked: "How much will it cost?"
Tao Lengshuang held up five fingers, her smile widening slightly: "Fifty copper coins for two doses of medicine and a half-month dietary therapy prescription."
When Aunt Li heard that it only cost fifty copper coins, she was truly astonished. In the past, when she saw a doctor, it cost at least one tael of silver, and sometimes two or three taels.
If it weren't for her illness, their family wouldn't be living so poorly.
"Is it really just fifty copper coins?" she asked uncertainly.
Tao Lengshuang said word for word: "This time it's fifty copper coins. Next time you get more medicine, it will be a hundred copper coins, but the total will not exceed half a tael of silver."
"Your illness, frankly speaking, as long as you use the right medicine, you don't necessarily need expensive medicine."
Aunt Li didn't understand these things. In her opinion, the more expensive the medicine, the better it was.
"Then I... should I try?"
"You must try!" Shen Ershen held her hand and patted it gently: "Cousin, it's only fifty copper coins. If it's cured, it's good for you, and it's good for your in-laws."
"To put it bluntly, if something were to happen to you, and your man remarried, would the new wife truly treat your son well?"
These words made Aunt Li no longer hesitate. She immediately gave Tao Lengshuang fifty copper coins: "Mo family, I'm troubling you."
She had to take care of herself for her son, if not for herself.
Finally having a customer, Tao Lengshuang was overjoyed. She immediately took her son to the mountains to gather medicinal herbs, and also secretly took herbs from her spatial medicine garden.
Then she went home and wrote out the dietary therapy prescription.
The writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone at home were bought by Mo Lingxi. They were the worst quality, but they were already very good in the village.
She handed the dietary therapy prescription and two doses of medicine to Aunt Li, giving her instructions and emphasizing the points to note.
"Aunt Li, after you finish these two doses and eat the dietary therapy for another five days, come and see me. I will adjust it according to your condition."
Aunt Li took the medicine and the dietary therapy prescription as if they were her life. She repeatedly promised to come.
After seeing Aunt Li off, Tao Lengshuang gave Shen Ershen ten copper coins: "This is a thank-you gift."
"According to the rules, Shen Ershen, you get a thank-you gift for introducing patients to me."
