Chapter 554 Broken Leg
Chapter 554 Broken Leg
As soon as Wang Xiuqin heard it, she knew that it would cost a lot of money to cure her niece's leg.
She backed out. Although it was not nice to say this in front of her niece, her family was indeed living a tight life. If she used the money to pay for her niece's leg treatment, the head of the family would definitely be angry.
After thinking it over, Wang Xiuqin let down her niece's rolled-up trouser legs, then pulled her away.
"Wait, in our clinic, women only need to pay for the medicine. If she wants to be treated, she can give fifty cents."
Jiang Fubao spoke up to stop her.
This woman is so pitiful.
Looking at her face, you can tell that she must be a good daughter who works hard at home.
Her broken leg made her walk with a severe limp, and she even frowned with every step. It must have been very painful.
As she gets older, she will suffer more and more pain, and maybe this leg will be completely useless before she gets old.
How would her family treat her if she were paralyzed in bed?
She is obviously still in her prime.
Jiang Fubao couldn't bear it and decided to save her.
"Really? Fifty cents?" Wang Xiuqin turned around, unable to hide the joy on her face.
If it was only fifty cents, she could have kept it a secret from the head of the household and wouldn't have needed to say anything at all.
"Yes, it's only fifty cents, but you will have to endure the pain of a broken leg again. Can you bear it?" Jiang Fubao looked straight at Wang Xing'er.
“What? Another leg to break? This, this…” Wang Xiuqin was horrified.
"Her leg bones are deformed, which means they are crooked. There are many complications. The leg bones must be re-broken and corrected. But I can guarantee that she will recover and walk like a normal person."
Jiang Fubao explained simply.
"Okay, I do." Without waiting for Wang Xiuqin to ask again, Wang Xing'er answered firmly.
"Then let's do it now. The sooner it is cured, the sooner it will heal." Jiang Fubao pointed at the bed behind the screen and motioned for her to lie back down.
"Okay." Wang Xing'er nodded. She pulled out her hand that was being held by her aunt and lay directly on the bed without any hesitation.
"Xing'er, you really don't want to consider it? Have you forgotten how painful it is to break a bone?" Wang Xiuqin was very scared.
If it were her, she would rather be a cripple for the rest of her life.
"I'm not getting married, I just don't want others to laugh at me anymore." Wang Xing'er's soft voice came into Jiang Fubao's ears.
"Dan'er, Lu'er, Erya, the three of you come here and hold her down. Hold this handkerchief and stone in your mouth. Then you can use the hammer to hit her calf. Look carefully, it's the place I'm pointing at. Don't hit it in the wrong direction."
When these words were spoken, the servants in the clinic were all stunned.
The lady is too cruel. Why does she break someone's leg while treating the disease?
But they didn't dare ask more.
I did as Jiang Fubao instructed.
Although Wang Xing'er was pinned down and her face was full of fear, and her body was shaking violently, her eyes were fixed firmly on Jiang Fubao.
This trust makes Jiang Fubao more serious.
"Miss, did I really break it?" Shi Tou swallowed his saliva, feeling a little reluctant.
"When you smash it, use only 50% of your strength, don't use too much force." Wang Xing'er's leg bones were very brittle due to their deformity. If she used too much force, it would cause a comminuted fracture, which would be very painful and difficult to recover.
"Okay..." Pan Shitou took a few deep breaths, then slammed the hammer down.
Because Wang Xing'er had a handkerchief in her mouth.
So she couldn't scream.
But the whimpering sounded scary too.
It sounds like a cat's meowing in the middle of the night, or like a baby crying, which is very scary.
“Mmmmm——” Wang Xing’er’s tears instantly wet her ears.
Her face turned as red as pig liver.
Jiang Fubao took out a silver needle and simply pricked a few acupuncture points, and the whimpering sound stopped immediately.
"I will temporarily paralyze your leg, but it will only last for one hour." After Jiang Fubao said this, he asked the maid to bring splints, ropes and other things to pull Wang Xing'er's bones to the correct position. It took a long time to finish.
As the temperature gradually rose, Jiang Fubao had already changed his winter clothes into spring clothes.
Even so, she was sweating profusely.
"Shi Tou, go to the snack shop and drive the carriage to take them back." His legs were broken, so of course he couldn't walk.
After writing the prescription and getting the medicine, Jiang Fubao decided to be a good person and sent them home for free in his own carriage.
"Fubao, here, I'll give you the money. Thank you so much. Your auntie thanks you." Wang Xiuqin gave ten more cents. She had been watching for so long, so she knew what was going on.
Jiang Fubao not only didn't make any money from treating his niece's leg, he might even have to pay out of his own pocket.
Just looking at the more than twenty kinds of medicine, you can tell how expensive they are.
But she really didn't bring much money.
I only have sixty cents on me.
So much so that her face turned a little red and she felt very embarrassed.
"It's okay, it's only fifty cents. You can use the remaining ten cents to buy a bone and boil it into soup to nourish her body. Remember, boil these herbs into a bowl of water and drink it once a day.
Here is a month's worth of medicine. After you finish it, go to my house and find Jiang Meng or Jiang Cheng. Ask them to drive you to town in a bullock cart. Also, when you go back, don't get out of bed. It will take a hundred days to heal your broken bones. Don't dare to work, otherwise you will suffer in vain."
Jiang Fubao took the copper coins and returned ten to Wang Xiuqin's palm.
"Thank you Fubao, thank you so much..." Wang Xiuqin thanked him for a long time until Pan Shitou parked the carriage outside.
Erya, Dan'er and Lu'er carried the unconscious Wang Xing'er onto the carriage.
The aunt and nephew left.
Before leaving the city, the carriage went to Caishi Street.
Wang Xiuqin spent ten cents to buy several pieces of pork ribs.
Wangjia Village was not too far from the city gate, and it didn’t take long to reach the village entrance. Wang Xiuqin sat outside to show the way.
Until the carriage stopped at the gate of my mother's house.
There were also many villagers gathered outside.
They all pointed at the carriage.
"Oh, such a luxurious carriage, is it that a distinguished person has come to visit? Could it be that Wang Mao's family has become wealthy?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I saw his married sister Wang Xiuqin getting off the carriage. That's not right. Isn't Jiangjia Village famous for being poor? How could she still get on a carriage?"
"I think this carriage looks very familiar. I have seen it at the entrance of the village before. It seems to belong to the chief of Jiangjia Village."
"Wang Xiuqin is marrying into his family? Tsk tsk, she must be very rich to be able to afford such an expensive carriage."
"It seems that Jiangjia Village is not that poor. Everyone here lives a better life than us. Look, Wang Xiuqin is much fatter than before she got married."
"..."
The gossiping villagers spoke in loud voices.
Wang Xiuqin naturally heard it.
But she didn't bother to explain, and directly shouted to her elder brother and sister-in-law: "Brother, sister-in-law, come out quickly and carry Xing'er back."
It wasn’t just Wang Mao and his wife who shouted.
His two sons and daughter-in-law also came out.
"Xiuqin, why did you come back in a carriage? When did you become so rich?" Li said in shock.
