46 Chapter 46 Treatment
After they were done teaching Chef Zhou, the couple happily pushed the cart out the door. They first went to the bank to convert the check worth one hundred taels of silver into real silver and put it in the interspace.
Then, Zhou Ying looked at Gu Chengrui and said, “Let’s go, Rui. We’re in luck today. We’re going to be able to go shopping once.”
“Sure, let’s go buy some clothes first.” Gu Chengrui looked at the patched sackcloth clothes on her body and said.
“Yeah, I’ll also buy you a long robe. If you’re going to treat patients, you can’t be looking too shabby.” Zhou Ying agreed.
Gu Chengrui smiled and nodded. Then, the two of them walked toward a clothes shop.
However, the two did not dare to be too eye-catching and only bought two sets of coarse cloth each.
Lastly, they spent one silver on buying Gu Chengrui an ordinary satin robe. Afterward, they went to the grain store to buy more green beans and soybeans. Of course, the quantity was not large, but it could be used as a cover.
Not long after leaving the grain store, he saw Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Yao each carrying a bag of snacks. They walked over while talking and laughing and quickly turned to go to the nearby jewelry store.
Seeing this, Zhou Ying said indignantly, “These two people really have the same bad taste and are equally shameless.”
“What else could it be? When we left the capital, our relatives and friends sent us a lot of money, so our family wasn’t supposed to be in such a problematic state as it seemed.
“It was just that there were not many wives who could tolerate the children of concubines.
“So when we split up, I told the patriarch that I wouldn’t care for Mrs. Liu in her old age, and my so-called father also had nothing to say.”
“In this feudalistic society where filial piety is more important than the heavens, I can’t believe you dare to say such treasonous words.” Zhou Ying tilted her head and whispered, but gave him a thumbs up.
“That’s because Mrs. Liu went too far.
“Moreover, she was promoted to wife from concubine. She shouldn’t receive any gratitude for not raising my original body, nor did she teach me a single thing.
“Also, she has a son of her own, so why should we take care of her when she’s old?”
“So, this is a pretty good outcome.”
“Indeed, Otherwise, our days wouldn’t be so peaceful. Let’s go; it’s getting late. I want to go home and eat that steamed fish.” Gu Chengrui pushed the cart and walked forward after saying that.
Zhou Ying saw this and immediately rushed over.
On the way, they ran into Qian Jiale, driving an ox cart.
Just as Gu Chengrui was about to greet him, Qian Jiale jumped off the bullock cart and said, “Chengrui, we’re looking for you. Brother Jiaxing broke his leg when he was carrying wood.
“If you think you can treat it, let’s go.”
Gu Chengrui immediately let go of the cart in his hands and went forward to give Qian Jiaxing a thorough check. “He’s fine. It’s just a fracture in his calf bone. After bandaging it, he’ll just need to take some anti-inflammatory medicine and rest.”
“It’s good that you can treat it. Let’s head back now.” After Qian Jiale said this, he looked at the cart and said, “You guys head back in our cart; I’ll push your cart back for you.”
“Then don’t mind if we do. Zhou Ying can help me when she goes back.” Gu Chengrui immediately turned the ox cart around and let Zhou Ying sit in it, and they immediately rushed to the village.
After returning home, Zhou Ying went into their house and tidied up the brick bed. After Gu Chengrui carried Qian Jiaxing to the brick bed, the two entered the west room.
Then, Gu Chengrui requested Zhou Ying to bring out some anesthetic, many bandages, and two splints.
Afterward, Zhou Ying went to the kitchen to get some hot water and handed it to Gu Chengrui. Then, she stuffed a clean bandage into Qian Jiaxing’s mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue due to the pain.
Gu Chengrui wrung a towel with hot water and waited until it was half-chilled before he cleaned Qian Jiaxing’s leg and gave him some local anesthesia. Finally, Qian Jiale came over and helped put on the splint.
