Ever since he was deposed from the position of chief, Osas' life has not been easy.
If no one comes to seek justice, he will not be rewarded with a chicken, duck or egg after the trial. Don’t underestimate these small favors. The entire population of Lerea is thousands, and there is nothing else to do during the busy farming period.
All disputes are resolved by others.
But now, he had borrowed a large amount of foreign debt, and his creditors are also coming to collect debts.
This world always puts interests first...
It turns out that if he doesn't repay the money, it's because Osas has value to his creditors. It's conceivable that the people who can lend him money are local gentry. This involves many interest disputes, such as landlords and farmers who hire farmers for commissions.
Regardless of the harvest ratio, the existence of Osas can make profits for these people as much as possible and give a relatively 'fair' trial result.
Without power, Osas is of no use to the gentry, and the money that should be repaid must be paid back in full.
As for the common people, those who have been favored cannot do anything to help them, and those who have been offended cannot add insult to injury. The most they can do is ridicule them.
To talk about the source of Osas’s life...
It's still the kind of farming and hiring people.
However, in order to repay the debt, the land was rented out for free, which meant that the family had no fixed source of income.
For Osas now, money is irrelevant.
Because he still has his last resort, his ace.
As long as the treasure is dug, money is just a simple number, and the whole family can move to the capital and have a taste of what it's like to be superior to others.
so.
His anxiety now is not about being forced by life, or about his child's upcoming tuition fees for the next quarter, but when his dearest partner, Brother Xiao Zhou, will come back with the equipment.
Counting the days, it should be almost there.
Tula felt her husband's anxiety, and naturally felt uncomfortable. She wanted to let her husband try to cooperate with her two brothers. Her brother's family was in charge of a tribe's fur business, and a share of the pie could support the whole family, which was life.
The quality is definitely not as good as before.
But she didn't dare to mention it now. Her husband hadn't regained his composure yet, and a man's self-esteem always had to be maintained. Maybe he could give it a try after he recognized the facts clearly.
"Tula, go to the health clinic and get me some medicine. I feel uncomfortable again."
Tula couldn't laugh or cry.
Is there anything wrong with my husband?
She simply wanted her to go see if Dr. Zhou was back, but it was not convenient for him to go by himself. After all, it was Asang's territory.
"Osas, what are you discussing with Dr. Zhou?"
"What can we discuss? I feel unwell, don't I just want him to check me again when he comes back?"
"But other doctors at the health clinic can also review you."
"What do you know..."
Then.
Tula went anyway.
To untie the bell, one must tie the bell. No matter what the husband and Dr. Zhou discussed, the matter had to be resolved before the husband could get back on track.
In Tula's view, that Zhou is not a bad person, maybe...
What other things can the husband do with him.
Women cannot think too much, and Tula also felt that she was stupid compared to her husband.
…
health clinic.
The busy herbalists would not care about Tula's arrival.
These days Tula is more like a non-staff member of the medical team. Whenever he comes, he will always help with small tasks, such as fetching two buckets of water, making fire for cooking, or taking care of patients.
After Nodra discussed with Aka, she didn't think too deeply about it and just thought she was here to thank her for her previous treatment.
The time comes to noon.
Tula prepared the patient's meal and prepared to leave.
Just now, she asked Nodra from the side. She didn't know when Zhou would come back, but now she had to go back to serve her man, otherwise Osas would have to eat some pitiful potatoes to satisfy his hunger.
But.
Don't wait for her to leave.
The sound of a car gradually approached. Aka walked out the door and looked back. He turned around in surprise and said, "It's the teacher who's back."
Zhou Shengsheng is the core and soul of the team.
For more than a month, Nodra and Aka learned a lot of Chinese medicine knowledge from him, and their learning progress was even faster than when they were in the national hospital. As working doctors, they did not feel embarrassed.
Because traditional Chinese medicine originated from China, for them, it was probably like the young assistant who accompanied him when he was assisting China. In the eyes of factory and mine leaders, he was an unattainable senior intellectual, much more powerful than his own people.
Tula's heart skipped a beat, and instead of staying, he accelerated his departure pace.
Didn't her husband just want to know that Zhou Hui didn't come back? She wanted to report the news.
People and cars passed each other.
"That seems to be Osas's wife." He Congshuang, the co-pilot, saw Tula.
When Zhou Shengsheng heard this, he looked back and almost braked to stop, but he still reacted instantly. If he did this, it would easily lead to suspicion and reverie. He slowly parked the car under the courtyard wall and took the lead with
The herbalists said hello.
…
House of Osas.
Tula told him the latest news as soon as he walked in: "Zhou is back. When I left, he had just arrived at the health clinic."
"Really? He didn't say anything to you?" Osas became excited.
"No, I didn't show up. I just came back to tell you the news."
Osas was not angry about this, but after careful consideration, he felt that his wife's approach was correct.
When Zhou comes back, he will naturally come to find him.
There was silence for a while.
While Tula was making lunch, Osas entered the room, closed the door and window, and took out the map again.
The general area has been demarcated, but there are three burial sites left by Osas's father, two of which are located in no-man's land, and the other has been turned into farmland.
However, Osas has been plotting this matter for more than ten years, how could he not be prepared at all?
He borrowed money to buy the farmland where the third treasure was located. However, his financial resources were limited and it was impossible to achieve a complete monopoly. The surrounding area was still privately owned by others.
This involves a problem. Detection can be carried out silently at night, but when it comes to excavation, the noise is not small.
All I can do now is pray that something will be found in the other two places.
…
Lao He saw Tula, and Zhou Shengsheng naturally knew that Osas was waiting impatiently.
However, after being away for many days, there are always tasks that need to be done, such as checking medical records and re-examining patients.
Nodra and Aka have dealt with the basic common diseases very well, but recently there have been more and more patients, and the conditions have gradually become more complicated...
The most common local diseases are gallstones and kidney stones.
However, if you think about it, you can understand that the local people's diet is complex. The drinking water comes from the ground, and the water quality is relatively hard. There is no such thing as filtration. In rural areas of our country, people who drink groundwater for a long time and have a single diet mostly suffer from this type of disease.
disease.
Due to the nature of the region, in many places a family or a village suffers from the same disease.
Minor illnesses are not fatal, but there are cases where gallbladder inflammation develops into gallbladder gangrene, perforation leads to suppuration and death, and kidney stones and urinary tract infection lead to uremia, which is a big problem.
The most severe kidney stone patients have symptoms of mild hematuria, urinating like dripping, and pain in the urinary tract as if they are about to explode because they cannot control urination.
I have a headache on Monday.
Even at Delia's place, there was no equipment for sonic lithotripsy. If surgical treatment was required, the only option was open abdominal stone removal, and even the conditions for minimally invasive surgery were not met.
The medical records were placed on the desk. Zhou Sheng frowned for a long time and concluded: "These two serious patients will be hospitalized after they arrive tomorrow. I will check the situation first. If surgery is really needed, I will take them to Delia for treatment.
The traditional Chinese medicine Paishi Decoction can continue to be used, and there is no problem with your prescription."
This busy work ended in the evening.
Osas couldn't bear it anymore and called Tula over to invite Zhou Sheng to dinner.
Everyone was not surprised by this. Since the old guy was hospitalized, he seemed to get along well with Zhou Shengsheng, and since he repaid his kindness, everyone didn't think much about it.
After finishing what they were doing, Zhou Sheng and Lao He set off, leaving little Jie Laer at the health clinic under Aka's care.
"Tula, get in the car, let's drive."
There are also metal detectors on the car. If the car is unloaded at a health clinic, it will be too eye-catching.
