Chapter 1187: Chapter 376: Settlement, Saving People_2

Xiao Ruiyuan didn’t quite understand her thoughts, and seeing the regret in her brows, he couldn’t help but comfort her, "Just because you can’t now doesn’t mean you can’t in the future, even the day might come when women can enter the court and become officials."

"Mm." Mo Yan nodded with a smile, her eyes brimming with an indescribable sense of happiness. She was merely expressing a fleeting sentiment, aware that it was unrealistic for women to attend school, but she still felt warmed by the man’s words.

Even though there was a significant gap in thinking between her and this man, at least he respected her. If it were another man hearing her words, he’d likely sneer and dismiss her with "A woman’s virtue lies in her lack of talent," just like her father had, chuckling while telling her she was "talking nonsense" when she first voiced her complaints!

Xiao Ruiyuan, seeing the adoring and joyful gaze from his fiancée, felt a bit tipsy and suddenly wanted to do something in return. So, he followed the deep longing in his heart, pulled Mo Yan into his arms, and gave her a deep kiss...

Spring faded to summer, and the year’s hottest season arrived in the blink of an eye. This year’s summer seemed particularly brutal. Just entering June, the entire land felt like a huge steamer, and even sitting still without moving would leave clothes damp and clinging to the body. The heat was unbearable even for Mo Yan, who didn’t typically mind it, let alone others.

Fortunately, while the weather was hot, the rainfall remained plentiful, as in past years. But the fields couldn’t withstand the scorching sun and required frequent watering. The villagers had to go out to carry water for the fields early in the morning and sometimes work at dusk when it was cooler, which was extremely hard work.

The Mo Family’s fields were all taken care of by hired help. They didn’t have to worry about the water supply. Even without rain for a period, the fruit seedlings in the orchards needed watering every three to five days. After entering June, Zhao Mu and others were busily at work almost every day without rest.

The elderly with weak constitutions or chronic diseases had improved significantly after half a year of rest, eating grains and vegetables from the "Space" and regularly drinking diluted Spirit Spring Water, along with frequent check-ups from doctors from Du’s Medical Hall. They regained enough strength to do some light work, such as weeding or pruning, without much difference in pace compared to others.

In the midst of their busyness, they felt much more at ease than when they first arrived, no longer feeling like they were freeloading, and gradually started to treat Liu Yang Village as their own home, caring for those fruit trees as if they were their children.

With effort comes reward, and this year, all twenty-plus orchards bore fruit. Aside from the two which had been planted earlier and had now grown, the trees planted last year only kept three to five fruits each. With suitable temperatures and adequate sunlight, along with careful tending, the fruits ripened into a very juicy state, especially in the two orchards that were planted first; the branches were laden with heavy fruit, a delightful sight.

However, the weather was excessively hot, and despite being cautious, there were still people who suffered from heatstroke every day. The small clinic of the Mo Family received one or two patients each day who either had severe heatstroke or other ailments brought on by exhaustion.

These patients included locals from Liu Yang Village and visitors from outside. Since the name of Mo Yan as the "Little Divine Doctor" had spread, more and more people came to her for medical care. Firstly, because it was closer than Jing City, making it more convenient for treatment, and secondly, because the fees were cheaper than in the city, not to mention her medical skills were superior to many doctors, Mo Yan’s reputation as the "Little Divine Doctor" had grown ever more resounding over time.

One day, an elderly couple came to Mo Yan for medical treatment, supporting each other. The sick one was the elderly man.

Seeing that the old man’s complexion was ashen, and his entire body relied on the old woman, barely able to walk steadily, Mo Yan quickly came forward to help. The chill from his touch startled her, and without a moment’s pause, she and the old woman helped him to the sickbed and placed wooden pillows under his feet.

After a preliminary diagnosis, Mo Yan determined that the old man had a severe case of heatstroke. What’s more, his constitution was weak, and he also had heart issues, making his condition far more serious than the typical severe heatstroke.

"Old madame, your husband has a severe case of heatstroke. You need to take off his clothes and fan him. I’m going to fetch well water. Afterwards, you should use it to cool him down," Mo Yan instructed.

Having treated quite a few severe heatstroke cases before, Mo Yan knew exactly what to do to ensure the old man’s condition improved as quickly as possible.

"Alright, alright, I’m on it," the old woman responded without a moment’s hesitation. As Mo Yan hurried to the well with a bucket to draw cold water, the old woman frantically stripped her husband of his clothing and tirelessly fanned him with a nearby fan.
