101 For the Week after Surgery, you are Bed Bound

On the bed, Xie Yunjin remembered how Lu Jiao had just gone out to see a patient. He casually asked, “What happened with Widow Li’s daughter-in-law? Did you manage to help her?”

Lu Jiao nodded, “She made it through. If they waited any longer, she wouldn’t have made it.”

Xie Yunjin raised an eyebrow. This woman seemed to be a pretty good doctor. She must’ve been very capable before.

Xie Yunjin then nonchalantly asked, “You have a lot of medical knowledge?”

Lu Jiao became alert. Did this man suspect her identity?

She smiled, “It’s a coincidence that Grandma Huang taught me just the right things to be able to save these people. My medical knowledge is just so-so.”

Xie Yunjin’s gaze subconsciously deepened as his lips curled up.

Under this dim light, it was obvious that his gape was vast like the ocean.

Lu Jiao felt like this man could see right through her.

Quickly, she adjusted herself. Hmmph, just how much could he possibly guess? There was no way he would think she was transmigrated.

She calmed down and beamed, “I’m just a woman. How capable can I be?”

Xie Yunjin raised an eyebrow. He knew for a fact that this woman was a professional liar so she must be lying. She definitely was an amazing doctor.

Thinking that, he suddenly asked, “How much do you know compared to Dr. Qi?”

Lu Jiao felt suffocated. She wondered if he was going to question just who really did the surgery.

Or maybe, he was purely curious.

With a collected face, Lu Jiao prepared to answer but Xie Yunjin beat her to it, “Do you know how to perform surgery?”

Lu Jiao put on a scared face, “What are you talking about? I am a woman! I don’t dare to do surgery. That’s horrifying.”

Xie Yunjin thought about it. That was reasonable. Even if she knew a lot about medicine, women didn’t really dare to do surgery. Most women could not handle how bloody surgeries were.

He thought it through and commented mellowly, “Even if you don’t know surgery, your medical knowledge is amazing.”

Lu Jiao sighed in relief. She didn’t want to discuss this any further. After all, this man was highly observant and could see through her when her expression let slip of the truth.

Lu Jiao went outside with the empty bowl. Outside, Xie Erzhu arrived.

Once arrived, he shamefully looked over to Xie Yunjin, “Third brother, I am sorry. I wasn’t able to accompany you to your surgery today.”

Xie Erzhu sadly lowered his head. He wanted to go but his mother and father denied him and only brought his eldest brother, youngest brother, and youngest sister.

Of course, Xie Yunjin knew what had happened. With his gaze soft, he said to Xie Erzhu, “Second Brother, I know your intentions are good and I would never blame you.”

Xie Erzhu looked up, “Third brother, you truly don’t blame me?”

Xie Yunjin beamed, “I know you wanted to go and our mother and father stopped you.”

Xie Erzhu nodded with a grim expression. The way his parents planned out today made him want to fight someone.

But his third brother didn’t blame him. That made him feel better.

“Third brother, how are your legs? Are you going to be okay?”

Xie Yunjin knew that Xie Erzhu was worried, “After some time, I’ll be able to get down and walk. Don’t worry.”

Xie Erzhu nodded happily, “That’s great news! You’ll be able to study again.”

If his third brother succeeded, he’ll be more respected as well.

Because of his third brother, his entire family was highly respected and nobody dared to take advantage of him.

The more Xie Erzhu thought about it, the happier he got. He caringly asked, “Third brother, do you want to pee? Or poo? I can help you.”

Lu Jiao heard this and turned to Xie Yunjin, “For the week after surgery, you are bed bound. You must pee and poop while in bed.”

She then walked over and pulled the portable bamboo potty she made from under the bed.

Finally, this thing could be put to good use.

“Use this.”

Xie Yunjin stared at the strange object in Lu Jiao’s hand and his face dropped. His lips pressed into a line as he physically rejected the idea.

After some time, he finally managed to say, “I can get down.”

Lu Jiao snapped, “You don’t want your legs anymore? If you don’t, then go ahead and get off that bed. If you want your legs, you are not allowed to get down for the next week.”

Xie Yunjin’s face was now black. In the end, he accepted his fate, “What about after this week?”

“After a week, you can come down and sit on the toilet. You have to make sure you aren’t applying pressure with your legs.”

Xie Yunjin suddenly looked up at Lu Jiao, “You seem to be very familiar with all this.”

Lu Jiao’s heart skipped a beat and explained, “Dr. Qi was very detail-oriented. He taught me all the stuff to know. I remember all of it.”

Xie Erzhu added, “This doctor sure is a good doctor. Doctors from the Capital City sure are better than doctors from our town.”

Xie Yunjin didn’t interrogate Lu Jiao further.

Lu Jiao gave the portable potty to Xie Erzhu and warned him, “No matter what, do not let him out of the bed. The surgery only happened this morning and his bones haven’t grown together. Getting out of bed may cause his bones to dislocate for a second time. If that happens, he won’t be able to walk again.”

Xie Erzhu was frightened and promised, “Don’t worry, I won’t let his legs touch the ground.”

Xie Yunjin heard Lu Jiao and didn’t dare to ask to try walking again.

Lu Jiao walked away.

Inside the room, Xie Erzhu started helping out Xie Yunjin. Since they were brothers, Xie Yunjin was very relaxed. After all, he was raised by his Second Brother.

After Lady Tian and Lu Jiao did the dishes, they took the four little ones outside for a bath.

Lady Tian said to Lu Jiao, “Jiaojiao, now that Yunjin has surgery, you can take more time resting. There’s not much here for me to do anymore, I will go home tomorrow with your brother.”

Lu Jiao wasn’t surprised to hear that.

“Mom, you can go tomorrow after lunch.”

Lady Tian’s been staying here for a while now and now knew that Lu Jiao didn’t lack money. She didn’t persist in going back early tomorrow.

“Okay, I’ll do as you say.”

Lu Jiao planned on going hunting in the morning tomorrow. She’ll pack some baked goods that Xie Yunjin’s classmates brought for her mom, and give her some fruits from her space. There were also those greens she grew that she could pack.

All those combined made a pretty good gift. It should be enough.
