Chapter 1021 The lazy and evil sister-in-law of a blessed girl from a rural family (17)
Xu "Hob Meat" Yin is accompanying Comrade Xiao Jin to treat his leg in the county town.
She had thought about it before coming here. If the old imperial doctor who retired from retirement refused to come for treatment, or if the so-called old imperial doctor was just a gimmick and was not as powerful as the rumors say, then she would do it herself.
So she declined the villagers' offer to accompany her, hired a carriage, and brought Comrade Xiaojin to the county seat alone.
Unexpectedly, there is such a person as the old imperial doctor, and he is also a kind-hearted person. As long as the patient who comes to seek treatment is not a serious sin, he is eager to treat them.
It has been four days since I received the injections.
In addition, Xu Yin would add a spoonful of Linghu water every time she made medicine, so her leg injury recovered really well.
It was said that three more days of injections would be enough, and he would take good care of himself for three months at home, ensuring that he would be as flexible and strong as before the injury.
Of course the consultation fee is also expensive.
If Xu Yin hadn't taken out a 50-year-old ginseng from the system warehouse, pretended that it was dug deep in the mountains of Dawa Village, and gave the old imperial doctor money for the consultation, otherwise she would have just sold ordinary herbs, wild boar meat, and bamboo weaving.
The little bit of silver I earn is not enough!
However, the old imperial doctor was of really good character. Not only did he not lower the price, he also charged the ginseng at the highest price on the market. After deducting the cost of the consultation and medicine, he even gave her a hundred taels.
With these one hundred taels, the silver taels she took out to spend in front of Comrade Xiaojin would be available. It was a rare trip to the county town, and she couldn't help but want to do some shopping so that she could get some things that were not available in the town in the future.
"You take the medicine and have a good rest. I'll go shopping. We'll go back after the injection tomorrow. It's a rare trip to the county, so we have to bring something back. I asked Goudanniang to look after our house for us, and that day,
If it weren't for the help of Daddy Goudan, Uncle Dawang and others, I might not be able to take you to the town for medical treatment by myself. I want to buy something to thank them."
"It should."
Cui Mengjin leaned on the elevated pillow, his dark eyes falling on Xu Yin's fair face.
He left for service early the morning after the wedding, and their wedding was put on hold because she came to Kuishui. As the candlelight flickered, he couldn't remember what she looked like. She felt fatter and darker than she is now.
"Thank you for your hard work during this period. When I recover from my injury, I will go to the town to pick up more part-time workers during the slack season and earn back the ginseng money." He promised lightly but firmly.
"good."
Xu Yin smiled.
I saw that his complexion was much rosier than the day he was sent to the town hospital.
As expected, she borrowed the inn's stove for the past few days and stewed soup every day to nourish him. According to his physical condition, she also put a few Chinese herbal medicines in the soup to regulate the body.
Added a few ounces of meat.
However, he was still too thin. When I helped him wipe his body and change his clothes, he felt that almost all the hard parts were bones, which made him panic.
I'll take care of myself after I get home.
She needs to lose weight and he needs to gain weight. They both have a difficult task!
Four days later, Xu Yin and his wife returned to Dawa Village, and the carriage took them to the door of their house at the end of the village.
The coachman wanted to help him, but Xu Yin easily picked up the man, carried him into the house without stopping, and put him on the bed.
Coachman: "!!!"
Darling! This woman's strength is not ordinary!
Cui Mengjin had a numb face: "..."
got used to!
During the few days of treatment at the county inn, I was often carried around by her, changed sheets, and took medicinal baths. I really got used to it!
After paying the fare and sending the groom off, Xu Yin just carried a bunch of items bought in the county into the house. Neighbors who usually move around a lot came to visit Cui Mengjin.
"Meng Jin's family, what does the county doctor say? Can Brother Meng Jin's leg injury be cured?"
"Yes, as long as you take good care of yourself in the next three months, you can return to the same state as before."
"That's good! That's good!"
"Erya, everything has been fine at home these days since you have been away. The chickens, ducks, piglets, dogs and eggs are being fed more actively than I am."
"Thank you sister-in-law! Thank you children for me too!"
"Thank you for helping me."
"Meng Jin, then you should take good care of yourself and we will come see you another day."
After exchanging pleasantries, the concerned, curious and enthusiastic villagers were finally sent away.
Xu Yin breathed out, began to clean the house, lit a fire and boiled water for dinner.
Cui Mengjin lay on the bed, quietly looking at the thatched roof above her head, with thousands of thoughts in her mind.
On the way back from the county town, he heard from his wife that the family had been separated... No, to be precise, their eldest family had been separated and they lived alone, and the second, third, and younger sisters still lived together with their mother.
Why so divided?
The wife made fun of herself, saying that she separated the family because she was too lazy to eat at home and she couldn't bear it.
But his legs were injured, but his eyes were not blind.
It's really delicious and lazy to cook. Will you spend money to rent a stove in the inn, go to the street to buy ingredients and come back to stew supplements for him?
If you are really lazy, you will arrange your home in such an orderly manner and raise a group of chickens, ducks and piglets?
It’s really delicious and you’re too lazy to cook it. Would you be willing to take out ginseng to give him money for medical treatment?
From the time he came back dragging a pair of bloody stumps to today, she has never bought for him the popular pastries and preserves in the county, roasted chicken and goose. All she bought was to replenish his health, buy items for the family, and give gifts.
As a souvenir, I also cut some pieces of cloth to make some new clothes for him.
Now, it can be said that the clothes he wears from head to toe were purchased by his wife with the money from selling ginseng.
Cui Mengjin lowered his eyelids, his long black eyelashes covering his red eyes.
He's just not very talkative since he was a kid, but he's not a fool.
He went to serve in the Black Stone Kiln for Lao Cui's family, and was almost buried underground by a collapsed cave. He escaped from death without receiving a greeting from his mother or a word of concern from his brothers and sisters. Instead, what greeted him was a thatched hut separated from his family, and being alone.
How does it make him feel better to support his wife alone?
No wonder she is so much thinner than she was on her wedding day. It must have been a very hard time, right?
His legs were saved by his wife.
The old imperial doctor said on the first day of consultation that if his legs were not cured, his life expectancy would be three years at most.
Therefore, his life was saved by his wife taking ginseng!
He doesn't owe Lao Cui's family anything.
As long as I am still here, the filial piety I should give you every year will not be less, but it will not be more than my other brothers and sisters.
If my mother is gone one day, his ties with Lao Cui's family will be even less.
From now on, the only one worthy of his care and affection is his wife.
Xu Yin noticed that something was wrong with Comrade Xiaojin recently——
When someone from Lao Cui's family came to visit the next day, he had a sullen face and spoke very little.
The other party said ten sentences, and he replied in a concise and concise manner, very much like the dull person who "three sticks can't beat a fart" that Cui often said.
But when there were only two couples at home, he actually didn't talk much. At least he would respond to whatever she said.
Xu Yin rubbed her chin, puzzled.
Do "divers" have different situations and targets?
Forget it, if he likes to talk, he can say more and if he doesn't, he can say less. It's not a big problem.
