Bai Sanshu stood up tremblingly and said thanks to everyone. When he looked at his relatives in the old house, there was nothing but disappointment in his eyes.
"Mr. Chen is the old shopkeeper of Tongjitang, and his medical skills are also recognized by big families. Please show it to my grandma and my second aunt. Although they... we are juniors and have cleared our grievances.
What's wrong?" Bai Ling said aggrievedly.
Mr. Chen nodded appreciatively and went into the house to see old lady Bai and her daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Bai didn't dare to offend the doctor, especially since Mr. Chen had good medical skills, so she had no choice but to let him check her.
"Eat less meat, and you won't have a problem living for more than ten years. Put a few plasters on your arms to prevent further injuries, and you'll be fine after three or two months." After watching it for Mrs. Bai, Mr. Chen had no intention of doing so.
After writing a prescription, I went to check it out with Mrs. Bai Qi.
By this time, Mrs. Bai Qi had been helped by Bai Mei to sit on the kang. Her nose and face were bruised and swollen, and her mouth had blood marks.
"It's all a skin injury. I'll pull out the two front teeth and it'll be fine. But I hurt my body during childbirth and took the wrong medicine. I'll never get pregnant again in this life." Mr. Chen told Bai Qi truthfully.
's condition.
"What!" Bai Ershu rushed over and asked with an ugly face: "The doctor is saying that my mother-in-law can't have a baby?"
"You have to ask the doctor who prescribed medicine to your wife back then. It was obvious that she was injured due to heavy postpartum bleeding, but he still prescribed medicine to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis. If your wife is alive, she is lucky." Shaking away Bai Ershu, Chen
Lao hummed and walked out the door.
After practicing medicine for so many years, Mr. Chen has seen all kinds of people, but he didn't know that there could be such a top-notch family as the Bai family.
Bai Ershu looked at Old Madam Bai fiercely, and finally his eyes fell on Bai Dashu, as if he wanted to tear the two of them apart.
"You wicked people, how can you harm the second wife like this? You are trying to destroy the second wife!" Mrs. Bai Qi patted the edge of the kang and cried loudly, and was about to rush towards Mrs. Bai, but she fainted on the kang.
It made a thud sound.
"Mom!" Bai Mei hurriedly went over to support Bai Qishi, crying so hard that she couldn't help herself.
"Okay, since there's nothing serious about Nai, let's go home. I'll send a fish over tomorrow to replenish Nai's health." Bai Ling winked at Bai Wei, lest they would be innocent if there was an internal fight in the old house.
Injuried.
The two sisters supported Bai Sanshu and were about to leave, but Mrs. Bai shouted: "Bai Sanshu, my arm is broken, you have to spend a lot of money on the medicine! No, the doctor was hired by Bai Ling, you can pay for the medicine."
After you leave the third house, give me another hundred taels of silver to keep you healthy, or else I will accuse you of being unfilial."
Mrs. Bai, who was originally feeling guilty, immediately thought of business when she heard Bai Ling say she was leaving.
"Mom, haven't you made enough trouble?" Bai Sanshu said weakly, but he directly rejected Old Mrs. Bai, "Whoever broke my arm, I will ask for money for medicine. The three families are poor,
I can't afford a hundred taels of silver to support my mother. Tomorrow my son will go into the mountains to set up traps, and if he catches anything, he will bring it to his mother to replenish his health."
"You unfilial man, Bai Ling can make so much money, why can't your family come up with a hundred taels of silver?" Old lady Bai was so angry that she forgot about her arm injury. When she got off the ground, she screamed in pain, "Bai Sanshu"
, From now on, Sanfang will give me one hundred taels of pension money every year. If you don’t give it, I will let all the villages in the ten miles know that Sanfang is unfilial and watch how your children get married!"
"Is this old lady Bai crazy? What does it have to do with her son who has already separated from the family, no matter how much he earns? If he asks for an extra pension, it's still a hundred taels, why doesn't she grab it?"
"Village chief, you have to take care of this matter, otherwise the old people in the village will be like this in the future. Will the son who has been separated from the family still have a way to survive?"
"Yes! She is still a mother-in-law. Even if she says this to Old Lady Bai, it is not too much to drive her out of the village. Our Nanshan Village cannot have its reputation ruined because of an old lady. There are so many children in the village who want to be married off!"
The villagers shouted out one after another, completely forgetting that they were still standing in the Bai family's yard, and almost rushed in to beat Old Mrs. Bai.
The village chiefs, one head and two big, waved their hands and said: "Shut up, do you think I, the village chief, am just a freeloader? The family separation document is clearly written. As long as Sanshu doesn't agree, even suing the official will be useless."
When everyone heard this, they all looked towards Bai Sanshu, fearing that this coward would nod.
Bai Sanshu seemed not to hear the voices around him, and only looked at Old Mrs. Bai with a complicated expression.
After a long time, he finally said: "Mom, we country people also have rules. Girls keep all the money they make for dowries. I, Bai Sanshu, can't do it. I want my two girls to support a big family. I can't use my daughter for anything."
I want to give you a dowry as a favor. Just stop thinking about it. The money earned by my eldest brother and second brother, as well as the money I gave to my mother over the years, is enough for my mother to live for the rest of her life."
After Bai Sanshu finished speaking, he turned around tiredly and walked out. He didn't want to stay in the old house anymore, and he even forgot to say hello to the village chief.
He gave Bai Wei a wink and asked her to follow Bai Sanshu home, while Bai Ling stayed to deal with the aftermath.
"Uncle Village Chief, I'll leave you with the trouble here. I'll go to my house for dinner later, and you'll have a drink with Mr. Chen and my dad. You'll also have to trouble Brother Hongyun to send Mr. Chen back." Bai Ling said sheepishly.
The village chief said.
"You girl, you have thought carefully. Okay, go back first and persuade your father to order." The village chief nodded.
Bai Ling thanked him and called to Mr. Chen: "Mr. Chen, please come to my house. My parents, brothers and sisters are not in good health. Can you take a look? You can also try the farm food I made.
vegetable."
"Okay, girl, lead the way." Mr. Chen nodded and had a good attitude towards Bai Ling.
Bai Ling greeted Bai Hongyun again and walked towards the third room with them.
When Bai Ling and his party left, they heard the village chief shout: "Bai Dashu, you can be considered a promising person in our village after hanging out for so many years. If your mother doesn't cause trouble, are you going to follow suit? It's state-owned and national law,
The village has village rules. If your family keeps doing this, I will drive you out of the village! As for whether the clan wants to punish you, I will also ask a few clan elders for instructions..."
There were no vegetables grown in the third house, so after returning home, Bai Ling asked Bai Wei to go to the village to buy some, and also bought a chicken. There were fish and meat at home, so it was not difficult to put together six vegetables and one soup.
However, Bai Ling forgot that there was no place to sell wine in the village, so Bai Hongyun went home and got a jar. Bai Ling refused to accept the money and had to pay it back later.
Mr. Chen checked the health of Bai Liu and several other people, and determined that Bai Liu's health was in good condition and the dosage of the medicine could be reduced.
As for the rest of the Bai family, they can survive if they eat good food.
However, Bai Sanshu's leg disease made Mr. Chen quite difficult, but he had no better treatment plan.
Fortunately, although Mr. Chen was a medical fanatic, he was not an unsophisticated person, so he did not tell anything about Bazhen Tang. Bai Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
"Girl, I think those relatives in your family are not easy to deal with. I'm afraid a document of family separation is not enough. If you have a lot of money, just spend a few taels of silver and get a letter of certification from the village chief, as well as a share of the family.
The family documents go to the county government office and go through the clear way, which will save a lot of trouble in the future." Before leaving, Mr. Chen gave Bai Ling some advice.
Hearing this, the village chief slapped his forehead and said, "I've forgotten about this problem. One is that Sanfang couldn't afford this money before, and the other is that this has never happened in the village. Bai Ling, you are a capable person."
Yes, this is really how it is done, I will go home and write a document for you." (To be continued)
