Chapter 43.3

Translated by Aviana

The next day, early in the morning, Yang Tiegen came along with Yao-shi. They had brought Yang Tiezhu’s and Lin Qingwan’s thick clothes, along with the needlework basket. This was what Lin Qingwan had specially asked them to get. After all, other than feeding Yang Tiezhu his meals and medicine, there was nothing else to do here. Also, she can’t just sit idly all day long.

Lin Qingwan had asked Yang-shi to go back and have a good rest for a few days, as for the past few days, Yang-shi was also shuttling from here to there.

Yang Tiezhu had also asked Yang-shi to take back some wound healing medicines for Dahei and Erhei. Both of them were also injured, but all of them were light injuries, nothing serious.

Yang-shi glared at Yang Tiezhu, saying he doesn’t have to remind her about these. After going back, she would let the village physician take a look at them. Further adding that those two dogs were not just raised by him, she had also raised them.

Yang Tiezhu was suddenly a bit embarrassed.

Yang-shi once again spoke a few words with Lin Qingwan before going back. Yang Tiegen, fearing that it would be inconvenient for two women, went and brought few vegetables for them after hearing that Lin Qingwan had bought rice noodles.

Both of them spent their days at the medical center in this manner. Taking care of Yang Tiezhu’s diet every day, wiping his body, and helping him to relive himself, such things were all done by Lin Qingwan.

When they had nothing to do, they would sit in the room and do needlework whilst chatting. In this fashion, time also passed quickly.

During this period, the Old Doctor changed Yang Tiezhu’s dressing several times. The prescribed concoction he used to drink in the beginning was also replaced with another one.

In between, Yang-shi also came twice and brought them home-cooked food. In Yang jia, apart from Yang Tiegen and Yao-shi, no one dropped by.

Also don’t know what they were thinking. Even if they didn’t pay any silver, can’t they at least drop by to visit the patient? Lin Qingwan’s heart was surging with indignation. However, in front of Yang Tiezhu, she didn’t say anything unpleasant, fearing that she might hurt his heart.

Yang Tiezhu was also quite indifferent to no one in the family coming. He sincerely recuperated to heal his wound. And once in a while, when Yao-shi was not present, he would try to get Lin Qingwan’s pity by acting a bit coquettish.

Only at this moment did Lin Qingwan come to know that this guy was unexpectedly quite good at acting coquettish. Don’t be fooled by his big burly physique. When acting coquettish, he was totally natural, with his wet eyes, he completely appeared pitiful and weak. Every time she couldn’t help but go and pat his head and console him.

Yang Tiezhu’s health was in good condition. Not long after, he regained his spirit. After few days, he was able to walk a few steps slowly with Lin QIngwan’s support. But only a few steps, and also his left shoulder still couldn’t be moved an inch.

When the old doctor changed Yang Tiezhu’s dressing last time, Lin Qingwan saw the wound; a thin layer of scab had already formed….

Once Yang Tiezhu was able to move, Lin Qingwan asked Yao-shi to go back. She can’t always stay here. Yao-shi still has housework to do and also had to take care of two children.

After another two days, the old doctor informed them that they could go home.

He also briefed them on a couple of precautions that need to be taken care of – He had to continue the medicine he had prescribed till it was finished. The wound can’t get wet, and for the next few days, he had to come back regularly to get the dressing changed. And he also needs to take more food that nourishes qi and blood. Yang Tiezhu had injured his shoulder bones and tendons and must properly recuperate his wounds at home. It takes hundred days for the bone to knit and tendons to heal. Before that, he can’t do heavy work. Or else it might leave behind root problems in the future….

Lin Qingwan kept the old doctor’s every word in her mind.

Now was different from her past life. As long as it wasn’t a terminal illness, it could be cured. But even the slightest negligence might leave behind a root problem, or in severe cases, it might even cost a person’s life. Lin Qingwan didn’t dare to take such risks in the case of Yang Tiezhu.

…………

The day Yang Tiezhu was discharged, Yang Tiegen came to pick them up. Yang-shi also wanted to come, but Lin QIingwan didn’t let her, fearing that shutting here and there might tire her out. As Yang Tiezhu was still recovering from serious injury, and the days outside were also colder, Lin Qingwan gave Yang Tiezhu silver and had him specifically bring a horse carriage from Rental Carriage Dealer.

After packing everything up and clearing the bill in the medical center, Lin Qingwan calculated the silver spent. After adding everything, from the 50 teals of silver, they got in an exchange with Yang Tiezhu’s game, a bit less than 10 taels were left out.

In other words, they had still made 10 taels this time? But looking at Yang Tiezhu’s weak state, Lin Qingwan secretly decided to not let Yang Tiezhu go into the mountains again in the future.

After the carriage came, the three of them got into the carriage. As Yang Tiezhu couldn’t sit for a long time, he leaned against the carriage walls. With the thick clothes cushioning him from below, he didn’t feel much jolts.

Not only the horse carriage didn’t have many jolts as in ox cart, the carriage walls also blocked the wind.

After arriving at Yang jia, Yang Tiegen helped Lin Qingwan carry the bags into the room. After which, both of them together helped Yang Tiegen walk into the room.

Yao-shi had already cleaned the second branch room two days earlier. Thus, as soon as they entered the room, Lin Qingwan and Yang Tiegen helped Yang Tiegen lay on kang.

Yang Tiezhu’s brows bead with sweat from pain just from this short walk. After he laid down, Lin Qingwan untied his clothes to check on the wound. Fortunately, there wasn’t any bleeding.

At this time, Yang laoyezi pushed open the door and came in.
