Chapter 46 Fang is sick
Complaints being complained, Qin Mengshang still asked Zhou Lingqi to come back for lunch later.It's not even noon when I get home after closing the stall every day, and I have an extra half hour of rest on the river bank, just in time to get back.

Zhou Lingqi didn't feel awkward and agreed immediately.

In the evening, the three of them sat around the table in the cramped kitchen, and the hot braised pork exuded the alluring aroma.

Jinbao and Yuanbao, who were standing by, groaned and scratched the table legs. Qin Mengshang stuffed each of the two little guys with a piece of meat.Lu Ximing immersed himself in the meal. It was so delicious that he had no time to talk.

Zhou Lingqi was about to put his chopsticks into the bowl of braised pork, but a bowl of corn porridge stood in front of him.

"You have a stomachache. Eat something lighter tonight." Qin Mengshang smiled.

Lu Ximing, who was concentrating on cooking, also raised his head: "Well, sister is right."

The corner of Zhou Lingqi's mouth twitched imperceptibly, and his eyes seemed to say, 'Is it appropriate for you two to eat meat and me to drink porridge? '

Qin Mengshang smiled: "Don't worry, I will keep it for you."

"..."

Qin Mengshang kept his word and left a separate portion for Zhou Lingqi.

After a long and busy day the next day, I finally cooked all the konjac. On the morning of the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Sun Dawang specially drove the car to the door to meet him.More than a dozen konjacs were all loaded into the car. It was so full that there were just two spaces left.

As soon as I got in the car, a crisp voice suddenly came from over there: "Brother Dawang, wait a minute!"

Sun Dawang looked back and said, "Xiaohe, why are you here?"

Qin Mengshang looked over and saw that Xiaohe's cheeks were red and he was panting: "Brother Dawang, my mother is sick. Can you wait a while and take my mother to the town to see a doctor?"

Is Fang sick?

Qin Mengshang subconsciously looked at Yuanbao who was guarding the entrance of the courtyard. The little guy was very majestic and much stronger than when he first arrived.It's been four or five days since Fang was bitten, and she hasn't heard any sound.If Xiaohe hadn't come today, she would have forgotten about it.

Sun Dawang hesitated and looked at Qin Mengshang: "Sister-in-law, look at this."

The bullock cart had already agreed to deliver goods to Changxing Restaurant today, and no one else could be picked up, but Fang was ill and couldn't delay seeing a doctor.

Xiaohe bit his lower lip, knowing that the person who could make the decision was Qin Mengshang, he said with red eyes: "Sister-in-law of the Zhou family, it was my mother who was wrong before, but she has a high fever, sister-in-law, she will die if she doesn't see the doctor, just agree. I promise I will never let my mother speak ill of you again!"

After all, he was just an eight-year-old child. Although he didn't like Fang, he still couldn't bear to see his mother suffer.

Qin Mengshang didn't like Fang either, but he wouldn't just watch people lose their lives without being indifferent. "I'll go back with you and take a look. Xiao Ming, you can come too."

Lu Ximing nodded and followed him to Li Zheng's house.

After being bitten, Ms. Fang was afraid that her parents-in-law would ask her why, so she kept silent.It was fine to apply the herbal medicine for the first two days, but on the third day the wound became more and more painful and even a little inflamed.I thought I would just endure it and get over it, but who would have thought that I suddenly had a high fever last night.

Mrs. Chen was unhappy when she saw that her third daughter-in-law had not made any movement early in the morning. She opened the door and went in to take a look, only to find that the person was burning up. She immediately asked Xiao He to run to the village to see if the oxcart had left. .

When Qin Mengshang and his party arrived at Chen's house, Mr. Chen's wife was making breakfast in the kitchen. She heard the noise and hurriedly came out: "Daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, why are you here?"

"I heard from Xiaohe that Sister-in-law Chen San is ill. I came over to take a look."

Mr. Chen's wife laughed, feeling that she was too generous.

On weekdays, Mrs. Fang always talks about the Zhou family borrowing food. She is also jealous that the Zhou family can make money quickly by doing business in the town, so she doesn't know how to arrange things behind their backs.Now that Mr. Fang is ill, even if Qin Meng Shang doesn't take pleasure in his misfortune, he still comes to visit?Looking at it this way, the third daughter-in-law is really petty-minded.

At this time, Mrs. Chen walked out of the house and was surprised when she saw Qin Mengshang: "I asked Xiaohe to call the bullock cart, why did I call you here?"

Qin Mengshang: "Auntie, my cousin knows some pharmacology, let him show it to Sister-in-law Chen San."

On the way here, Lu Ximing heard her talk about Fang's situation, and he knew it well.

Only then did Mrs. Chen notice a handsome young man standing next to her, and said quickly: "Aren't you from exile? Where is your cousin from? This child looks about the same age as my eldest grandson. He can understand Treatment? Auntie knows you have good intentions, but you can’t seek medical treatment in a hurry!"

With that, he waved to Sun Dawang: "Dawang, my aunt will give you ten cents. You take your third daughter-in-law to the town hospital. The medicine will cost -"

Thinking of the cost of medicine, Mrs. Chen got entangled.

Dr. Lu is not here, so we can only ask the doctor from the medical clinic.However, the medical clinic fee alone costs [-] cash. Considering the condition of the third daughter-in-law, it is impossible not to take medicine. Rough calculation, it will cost at least [-] cash!

Once the account was settled, Mrs. Chen's face darkened, she cursed "a prodigal woman" secretly, and turned around to get the money from the house.

"Auntie," Qin Mengshang stopped her, "my cousin studied medicine with a famous old doctor for two years. Why don't you ask him to take a look at Sister-in-law Chen San? If it doesn't work, it's not too late to ask a doctor."

Li Zheng, who had been unable to speak, finally had a chance to speak: "The Zhou family's wife has said so, so let's see. Anyway, I went to town to ask a doctor and he won't be back for a while."

After asking about Qin Meng's discussion about the terraced fields, Li Zheng thought that as long as she dared to say it, it must be credible.

The head of the house had all spoken, and Mrs. Chen didn't want to say anything more, so she led Lu Ximing in.

Farmers don't have so many rules. Lu Ximing first checked Fang's pulse, then looked at the wound on her calf, frowned and said: "The wound is suppurating, and the high fever is also caused by this. Grandma Chen, do you have a knife and wine? ?I need to clean the wound."

"What are you doing with the knife?" Old Mrs. Chen was afraid that he would cut off the third daughter-in-law's flesh.

Qin Mengshang interjected: "The wound is suppurating. The pus must be drained out before the medicine can be applied."

"Yes."

Lu Ximing had seen his grandfather treat people's wounds in this way before, and he didn't dare to use the knife at first. But if he didn't dare, the injured person would only get sicker.

Old Mrs. Chen was doubtful and asked the eldest daughter-in-law to go to the kitchen to get a knife and wine.

Xiaohe held Xiaocao and stayed by the side. Chen's second wife was afraid that the children would be frightened, so she led them out.

Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen each held down Fang to prevent her from moving.

Wiping the wine on the knife, Fang immediately woke up from the pain. She turned around and saw Qin Mengshang was there, her face turned pale: "What are you doing here! I'm already like this, and you still want to watch my jokes?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a heartbreaking pain in his legs, and he started howling at the top of his lungs.

"Who came to see your joke?" Old Mrs. Chen glared at her impatiently, "Shut up if you can't speak!"

Chen's wife also said: "Third brother and sister, the Zhou family's wife heard that you were sick and brought her cousin here to see you. You have to thank her properly."
