Zhuqing saw a strange look on his face, and her heart moved. She wanted to say something, but she stopped when she reached her mouth.
Kang Yizhi looked at the tearful eldest lady with a look of pity and lowered his voice and said: "Speaking of which, so-and-so is also from the Northwest Army. Your husband-in-law should also be considered a comrade of mine. Although we are strangers to each other.
We haven’t met each other before, but since I met my colleague’s family today, I should take care of them. I have a hundred taels of silver notes here, take it first and ask for medical treatment for the old lady.”
As he spoke, he took out a banknote from his arms and handed it to the eldest lady.
"This, how can this happen!" The eldest lady couldn't help being frightened when she saw that he was so polite.
"My family and my mother-in-law are not particularly well-off, but they still have dozens of acres of thin farmland, so they can still live a comfortable life. No need, really no need!" She quickly refused.
"Just accept it if I give it to you! This is just a small talk. It seems that your mother-in-law's disease can't be cured in a day or two. There are many places to spend money. Don't worry, I will go and follow you when I get to Fucheng.
Say hello to the magistrate, I will not let other people come to disturb your life!" Kang Yizhi obviously rarely does this kind of thing to help others, so when he saw the lady's refusal, he felt a little uncomfortable and said bluntly.
He said with a stern face.
Then he assigned several sergeants around him: "Hurry and help carry the old lady back!"
The eldest lady looked like a cowardly person at first glance. Seeing Kang Yizhi's toughness and the fact that she really couldn't bring her mother-in-law back alone, she thanked her in a low voice and followed them to lead the way.
After the mother-in-law left, the old lady's mood slowly stabilized. In order to comfort her, Zhu Qing just applied a little peppermint oil to her temples on her head, which made her sober up a lot.
When she heard that Kang Yizhi introduced himself as being from the northwest and helped his wife, she became a little excited again: "You, you, come back with me, go back...Da Lang, Da Lang..."
Kang Yizhi nodded to her and told her to calm down: "Don't be anxious, old lady. I'm not in a hurry to leave today. I will definitely visit my house later!"
After hearing that Kang Yizhi agreed to go to their home, the old lady finally calmed down and went back on the sedan chair hired by the soldiers on the street.
After the old lady's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked away, Kang Yizhi asked Zhuqing carefully: "Doctor Sun, if the old lady's body is taken good care of, how many more years can she live?"
Zhuqing thought about it carefully and replied: "If you take good care of yourself, it will not be a problem for ten or eight years. If you cannot rest and take good care of yourself, and you are constantly suffering from anger, it is difficult to say whether you can live for another year and a half."
Kang Yizhi frowned when he heard this, and then said: "Doctor Sun, I have an unkind request. Can you try your best to treat this old lady so that she can live as long as possible? I know it all depends on
Your doctor may not be able to help, but this matter is really important. Can you do your best?"
Zhu Qing wanted to find out, but he knew that this matter must be unusual, so he suppressed his doubts and curiosity.
He just nodded and said: "I'll do my best!"
Kang Yizhi nodded with satisfaction after hearing this: "Thank you, Doctor Sun!"
They calmed down the incident and the onlookers on the street gradually dispersed.
When they returned to Yingxian Tower, several girls gathered around and asked Zhu Qing what happened before.
Zhuqing briefly told what happened, then called Wutong and Xia Xiang: "I'm going to Liu's house later. You two come with me and help me. By the way, write down the medical records.
.”
"Okay, okay!" Wutong and Xia Xiang were very happy when they heard this.
As for the other girls, Zhuqing glanced at her somewhat disappointed cousin Zhuang Wenjing and said to her: "Cousin, I'm not here, you have to be responsible for teaching Huixiang and Xiaoxiu how to read. Although their medical skills are passable,
But she doesn’t even know many words. Wutong’s knowledge is not as good as yours, so she goes with me and I can only trouble you to teach them how to read.”
Hearing Zhu Qing's explanation, Zhuang Wenjing, who was a little disappointed at first, felt relieved. Zhu Qing's arrangement was indeed quite reasonable.
The Liu family is located on the edge of Liuxian Town, close to the outskirts of the town. The Liu family's courtyard is a common three-entry courtyard in this area. They have quite a lot of houses, and it seems that they have been glorious in the past. It's just that
Currently, there are only two hostesses and an elderly servant couple living in the house.
The desolation in the house made this huge courtyard look very desolate. At first glance, it looked like the family was in decline.
When Zhuqing, Kang Yizhi and the others arrived, the old servant who opened the door saw Kang Yizhi dressed as a soldier, and subconsciously looked fearful and defensive.
"Who are you looking for?" The old servant was not very polite.
"We are here to treat you old lady!" Zhu Qing felt that she was young and a girl, making it easier for people to be unaware, so she stepped forward and said.
"Oh, oh, you are the honored guests that the lady has said to you! Come in, please come in!" When the old servant heard about the treatment, he realized that they were the guests that the master had told him to do.
"I haven't had any guests in my house for many years. I'm so shameless, so I still want to invite guests!" At this time, the eldest lady had already heard the news and rushed out.
Seeing Kang Yizhi and others, they quickly stepped forward to accuse him.
"How's the old lady doing?" Kang Yizhi didn't want to embarrass her and asked directly about the old lady's situation.
"The old lady is back and she is in much better spirits. It's just that she has been thinking about seeing you, so she hasn't rested yet," the eldest lady said.
In fact, after hearing that Kang Yizhi was also a member of the Northwest Army, she also wanted to see him again and wondered if she could get some information about her husband from him.
"I promised the old lady, and I will definitely not break the promise! Now, Dr. Sun is here too, and she will give the old lady a good diagnosis and treatment," Kang Yizhi said.
"Ah, that's great! Thank you, Dr. Sun!" The eldest lady's eyes lit up when she saw Zhu Qing.
"You two, please follow me!" The eldest lady led the way.
She obviously didn't treat the two people as outsiders, and she didn't have any sense of defensiveness. She took them directly to the main courtyard where the old lady lived.
"Mother-in-law, the military officer and Dr. Sun are here!" The old lady lying on the bed perked up when she saw Kang Yizhi, Zhu Qing and the others.
"Okay, great!" The old lady struggled to get up, but she still couldn't sit up.
The older maid beside her hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and finally forced her to half-rely on the pillow.
Her condition seemed to be a little better than before on the street. Her articulation was also obviously clearer. However, her speech was still a little skewed.
