A woman in her 1970s remarried a tycoon with no heir, and gave birth to triplets, stunning the famil

"Zhang Tieshuan, what do you mean by that?" Many villagers looked puzzled.

How could they not know that Grandpa Jiang would ask them to pay for his medical treatment? It's not like he only needs a bunch of vegetables and a few eggs.

Zhang Tieshuan looked at everyone and said earnestly, "You have all been deceived by Old Master Jiang. The first ten medical visits for each person are indeed free, but once that is exceeded, he will demand money."

"I went to the doctor today, and he asked me for money. He even told me to put the money in my food. I'll show it to you right now if you don't believe me."

He was about to get the money when Jiang Linwan immediately stopped him: "You're not allowed to go near these vegetables. Who knows if you're holding a grudge against our family and have teamed up with these people to frame us?"

Zhang Tieshuan immediately panicked and started cursing without thinking: "You stinking woman, stop spouting nonsense." As he spoke, he reached out to push Jiang Linwan.

Suddenly, a pair of large hands gripped his wrists with precise and powerful force, the grip so fierce that Zhang Tieshuan cried out in pain: "Who the hell are you! You want a beating?"

Lu Qiyue didn't loosen his grip, holding Jiang Linwan tightly in his arms. He slowly raised his eyes, his cold gaze sweeping over Zhang Tieshuan: "Continue?"

Zhang Tieshuan trembled in fright. His previous arrogant and domineering attitude dissipated in an instant. The curse in his throat was stuck halfway, and he dared not utter the second half of the sentence. He subconsciously shrank back.

"I'd like to see who dares to lay a finger on my wife." Lu Qiyue's gaze swept over the red-armbanded personnel. His back was as strong as a mountain, firmly shielding him from all malice and conflict. He looked down at Jiang Linwan in his arms and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Jiang Linwan's tense body relaxed instantly, and she tugged at Lu Qiyue's clothes, saying aggrievedly, "They said my parents embezzled money, and that I seduced those leaders, which is why they let my parents go."

Lu Qiyue's gaze darkened.

Zhang Tieshuan was given a wink by the captain, and he suppressed his fear and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Even if you are an officer, you can't bully others by abusing your power."

The Jiang family's embezzlement is right before your eyes; the money is currently hidden in those vegetables. I'll take it out now so you can see it clearly.

"Yes, Grandpa Jiang took our money." Then several villagers stepped forward, along with a few people from other villages.

Jiang Linwan recognized one of them at a glance. It was the same scoundrel she had saved from the beach when he was suffering from hypothermia. He had also asked her to save someone else, but that person died, and she hadn't been able to save him.

"Inspections are fine, but these people can't be allowed in. Who knows if they might secretly slip money in to frame us?"

"Then I'll do it." Captain Ma stepped forward to search, but Jiang Linwan shouted, "No, you can't either. You've always disliked our family, so who knows if you're hiding money?"

I will go and check; only in this way can fairness and impartiality be demonstrated.

Captain Ma looked at her suspiciously: "No, who knows if you'll hide the money."

Jiang Linwan: "I'll just stand in the yard and check. You can all watch carefully. You can also search me afterwards. I can't possibly hide money from a distance, can I?"

She can indeed hide money remotely, but who would believe that?

Lu Qiyue stood there and made a decision that left no room for doubt: "Let my wife go."

Jiang Linwan turned to look at her, and Lu Qiyue gestured for her to go ahead.

"If you don't agree, are you really planning to let these people secretly slip you money now?" Tian Zhaodi shouted, suppressing her fear.

Captain Ma glared at Tian Zhaodi. Although he was somewhat unwilling, he had no choice but to agree.

Jiang Linwan walked towards the pile of vegetables. Captain Ma and the others, fearing she might secretly hide money, watched her movements closely.

Jiang Linwan put her hand into the basket and slowly rummaged through it. Sure enough, she touched something made of paper. She didn't dare to look closely at it. As soon as her fingertips touched it, she immediately put it into her spatial storage.

Captain Ma was getting impatient with her slow movements: "Dr. Jiang, right? Hurry up and stop wasting my time."

Even if your military region's top leader came, he couldn't protect you if you were caught red-handed.

Jiang Linwan carefully checked the contents several times, storing all the money into her spatial storage before slowly standing up and looking at the people with a cold tone: "I have already searched, and there is nothing there."

I think someone above you is coveting our Jiang family's medical skills and deliberately sent you to frame us.

Captain Ma's face flushed red when his secret was suddenly exposed, and he quickly retorted angrily, "Stop talking nonsense."

You did search, tell me how you searched? The money was hidden in the vegetables, why don't you open all the vegetables one by one and show everyone?

You're afraid because there's money inside, right?

"No, don't make baseless accusations." Jiang Linwan said, deliberately blocking the basket with her body.

When Captain Ma and his men saw this, they were immediately overjoyed; the woman was scared.

They went directly behind the basket, picked up the contents, and threw them out.

Jiang Linwan deliberately shouted, "Don't throw them away, you're ruining all these vegetables!"

Seeing her flustered state, Captain Ma felt even more pleased. After this matter was accomplished, the leader said he would promote her to the county revolutionary committee.

He'll finally be free from this wretched village. When he goes to the county town, he'll be able to reap even more wealth.

Jiang Linwan looked at all the vegetables that had been smashed on the ground and ran over with a pained expression: "You people are the ones who act like capitalists. These vegetables were all grown by the villagers with great effort."

Do you know that this amount of food could feed an entire family for over a week, while countless fishermen are still going hungry? This is how you waste food.

"That's right, so many vegetables have been wasted." Nowadays, everyone feels the pinch when they see the vegetables and eggs smashed to pieces on the ground.

Grandpa Jiang looked at this scene with anger: "I kindly treated the people in our village, and everyone knows whether I charged them or not."

You people are deliberately framing me; do you have any conscience at all?

"That's right. Our Dayu Island lacks medicinal herbs. My grandfather is very old, but he still goes to the surrounding mountains to collect herbs for you, just in case he encounters a patient one day and there is no medicine to treat them."

"He doesn't want any patient to collapse in front of him. He stays up all night making medicine for everyone, and yet you're slandering my grandfather like this." Jiang Mingwen glared at these people and said.

Dr. Mo added, "If the medicines collected by the Jiang family were sold to our health center, they would fetch several hundred yuan a month."

Grandpa Jiang provided the medical care to everyone for free, not so you would be so ungrateful.

Just now, I was actually a little suspicious of Grandpa Jiang's people, but now I'm filled with guilt and hanging my head.

Tian Zhaodi tugged at Jiang Linwan and pointed at Zhang Tieshuan: "That man is Zhang the Butcher's cousin."
