[QTC] MBDT Chapter 662

Bei Yutang waved to him, and Xiao Zimo came over.

She held Xiao Zimo in her arms. Although his body was still very thin, he was much better than the skinny body before.

Bei Yutang hugged him and whispered: “Mother will always be with you.”

“Yeah.” Xiao Zimo responded softly.

In the evening, after dinner, Bei Yutang took Xiao Zimo for a walk in the fields.

The head of the village hurried to the door.

“I finally found you.” Li Zheng walked over.

“Li Zheng, what’s the matter?”

“Something happened. Did you and your son go to the government office to register as independent households?” Li Zheng asked.

“Yes.”

After she woke up, she went to the government office to handle this matter.

The original owner, Mu Zhitao, was divorced by her husband’s family, and her natal family did not take them in, so she could only set up their own households. In the Great Zhou Kingdom, there were few female households, but there were some.

“It’s like this. Now the government has announced that every household must send one person to serve as a corvee labor. Although you are a female household, there are still males in your family, so according to the principle, you must send someone there. The higher-ups also considered this situation and made a special treatment method, which is to pay a sum of money to exempt from corvée labor.” Li Zheng said.

If it were two months ago, Li Zheng would not dare to come. Now that he knew that she had money in her pocket and had become more talkative, he dared to speak.

“How much?”

“Five taels of silver.”

“So many!” Bei Yutang looked at him in surprise.

Five taels of silver was not a small amount. An ordinary farmer’s family might not earn five taels of silver throughout the year.

Li Zheng explained: “This is what the higher-ups told us to do. There is nothing we can do about it.”

Li Zheng was thinking that since she could build a courtyard wall and wear cotton-padded clothes, she should still have this little money, so he was not worried that she couldn’t take it out.

“Okay, I’ll get it for you.”

Bei Yutang returned to the inner room, took out a silver note with a value of five taels of silver from the cabinet, and handed the silver note to Li Zheng.

After seeing the silver note, Li Zheng immediately said something with a smile and left.

In an ancient manor thousands of miles away, an old man with a gray beard was giving acupuncture treatment to a stern young man.

There was a thick fog around them, making it difficult to see clearly.

Countless hot air would automatically bounce away when it touched the man as if it was resisted by something.

Every time the old man with a white beard inserted a needle, there would be more sweat on his forehead, and even his face would turn pale.

This pattern lasted for an incense stick of time.

After an incense stick of time, the old man took back all the gold needles.

The old man came out of the secret room, and a middle-aged man with an extraordinary aura who was guarding the door immediately came up to him.

“Divine Doctor Xue, how is the Young Master?” The middle-aged man asked.

“Butler Feng, Young Master Feng’s illness is really strange. I have been practicing medicine for many years, but I have never seen anything like it. I have read all kinds of books, but I have never found the cause of the disease, let alone what disease Young Master Feng has.”

Divine Doctor Xue touched his gray beard and frowned tightly.

“Even you can’t solve it?” Although Butler Feng was mentally prepared, he was still a little disappointed.

Divine Doctor Xue shook his head.

“Young Master Feng has been sick so frequently this time, but what did he touch or eat?” Doctor Xue asked.

If he could find it, he might be able to find the cause.

Over the years, Young Master Feng’s illness had been very regular, once every six months, and sometimes once a year or two.
