Ugly girl only wants to farm
Chapter 38: See the Doctor
The house was in complete chaos. Everyone helped carry Meng Jiuhe inside. When Li Sanniang saw her son unconscious and covered in blood, her legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground, muttering to herself, "What should we do? What should we do? What should we do?"
Seeing that the whole family was like this, Xu Chaoyan knew that if she didn't step forward, things would probably get out of control. She quickly instructed Meng Jiuxia to boil a large pot of water so that she could change her eldest brother's clothes later.
She gave the men some money as a reward for their hard work, and also slipped some copper coins to the two uncles, telling them to buy some wine and thanking them for their hard work today.
The two men refused to accept the money, telling her to keep it to find a doctor for Meng Jiu: "You two uncles have worked hard. You must have been frightened by the place you went to today. Let's have a pot of wine to calm your nerves."
She quickly asked the uncle, "Is there a doctor in this village? My husband has fainted like this; we need to get him medical attention right away."
The two men quickly shook their heads and sighed, "We don't have any doctors in this poor, remote area. When we have a headache or fever, we just pick some herbs, boil them in water, and drink the water ourselves, or we just tough it out. But that kid's injury looks pretty serious. I think we should get him to town as soon as possible. If this continues, I'm afraid..." They finished speaking with a worried look on their faces.
Xu Chaoyan knew she should send him to town, but given his current condition, he shouldn't be moved again. After thinking for a moment, she had someone quickly find the uncle who drove the oxcart and ask him to go to town to pick up an old doctor. She said that as long as the doctor was willing to make a house call, the consultation fee would be no problem.
Meng Jiuxia was a bit calmer than her mother. She obediently went to the kitchen and quickly boiled some water. At this moment, her grandmother had disappeared, leaving only the two of them.
Xu Chaoyan and the other woman worked together to clean Meng Jiuhe's body and put dry clothes on him. Seeing his pale face and tightly closed eyes, Meng Jiuhe burst into tears.
"Morning Glory, will Big Brother wake up with his forehead covered in blood?" Meng Jiuxia cried, tears and snot streaming down her face.
Xu Chaoyan didn't know how to comfort someone, so she reached out and patted her shoulder: "Don't cry. Let's not panic. Didn't you see that Mom has collapsed? Go and boil some hot water for her, and check on her to see how she is doing so she can recover. We don't want our whole family to collapse before the doctor arrives."
Li San Niang's legs went weak for a moment, then her vision went black and she fainted. She is still lying in the house, with Meng Jiu Dong watching over her.
After hearing her words, Meng Jiuxia raised her sleeve and wiped the tears from her face: "Okay, Trumpet Flower, I'll listen to you. I'll cheer up, but you have to promise to take good care of my older brother. I'll be right back. I'll never argue with you again. I beg you to take good care of my older brother. Look at that big hole on his forehead, it must hurt a lot."
After she finished speaking, she started sobbing again.
Xu Chaoyan nodded: "I will. He is also my husband, so of course I care about him. If something happens to him, it won't do me any good."
After she finished speaking, she took out a handkerchief and rubbed her eyes hard a few times. Her eyes instantly turned red. She said things against her will, but she was thinking to herself that this girl was being too wary of her, as if she thought she would do something to her older brother.
She wasn't the type to take advantage of someone in a vulnerable situation. After a busy morning, she was tired and thirsty, so she picked up the teapot and started gulping down her tea.
Meng Jiuhe's eyes were still closed and he showed no signs of waking up. Xu Chaoyan touched his forehead and it seemed that he had started to have a fever. She became worried. He was already unconscious, and it had rained all night. What could be a good thing if he developed a fever?
She quickly brought over another basin of warm water to try and lower his fever physically, hoping it wouldn't rise further before the doctor arrived.
Two hours later, the oxcart driver finally arrived with the doctor. The doctor complained for a long time, "This godforsaken place, this old man's bones are almost broken from sitting in this oxcart."
Xu Chaoyan quickly put on a smile and went over: "Doctor, I'm so sorry, my husband is seriously injured and can't go to town. I'm sorry to trouble you to make this trip. Of course, we won't shortchange you on the consultation fee."
The doctor stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction: "Hmm, let me take a look."
Meng Jiuxia came running over at this moment: "Morning Glory, Dr. Morning Glory is here, isn't he? How is my older brother?"
She kept talking nonstop, and the doctor frowned, looking displeased.
Xu Chaoyan quickly covered her mouth and whispered, "Don't speak yet, wait until the doctor has examined you."
In the past, when watching TV dramas, we often saw those old doctors who were all very eccentric. You shouldn't offend the doctor you finally managed to invite.
The doctor removed all the bandages from Meng Jiu's head, frowning repeatedly. He asked them to come over and help clean the wound, then sprinkled some hemostatic medicine on it.
He then examined his legs. Xu Chaoyan and Meng Jiuxia were both on tenterhooks. Seeing the old doctor frowning and shaking his head, they didn't dare to utter a sound. They finally managed to finish the consultation after half an hour.
Meng Jiuxia rushed forward, her face filled with anxiety: "Doctor, how is my elder brother? Is there any hope of recovery? Why hasn't he woken up yet? Is his life in danger?"
The old doctor looked up at him and then answered after a moment: "You've asked so many questions. I'll answer one first. You little brat, why are you making such a fuss? Can't you wait until I catch my breath before you speak?"
Meng Jiuxia, looking anxious, stood there somewhat awkwardly after being scolded, and weakly said, "I was just too worried about my brother, and I acted rashly."
Seeing the little girl's uneasy expression, Xu Chaoyan came to her rescue by tugging at her sleeve: "The doctor must be thirsty too, could you pour me a bowl of water?"
"Doctor, please sit down here and rest for a while. How is my husband's condition right now? Is there any hope for treatment?"
The old doctor didn't say anything and rummaged through his medicine box for a while before handing over a porcelain bottle: "Remember to change this medicine every three days. I'll write a prescription and get the medicine for him to drink first. As for the rest?"
After speaking, he paused and remained silent for a moment before carefully choosing his words: "I can treat these minor injuries, but his leg was injured quite badly, and I'm not very confident in treating it. Why don't you take him to the county to see a doctor?"
Meng Jiuxia happened to be carrying a bowl of sweet soup when she heard the following words, and she almost dropped the bowl.
Her eyes were red and swollen, and she spoke with a sob in her voice. She put down the bowl in her hand and grabbed the doctor's arm: "Please, please save my brother. I'll kowtow to you."
After he finished speaking, he banged his head against the ground repeatedly.
