The Valiant Farmgirl's Blackhearted Husband Wants a Hug

Chapter 26: Chapter 26: The Generous Father-in-law

"The injuries are not light, but the wounds have been treated. In addition, I came here in time, so there is still hope of recovery."

Song Que's face lit up with joy.

"Doctor Li, are you serious?" He looked at Doctor Li in surprise.

Doctor Li nodded.

"However, you not only have a wolf bite wound on your leg, but you also have an injury caused by a bear trap. As the toxicity is different, I have to use different types of medicine."

"If you want to completely heal your injury, I'm afraid the medical expenses won't be low."

"If it should be treated, we'll treat it!" At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.

Immediately, Doctor Li and Song Que looked at the doorway and saw two muscular men coming in from outside.

They were Qin Sanya's father, Qin Dazhuang, and her eldest brother, Qin Dahu.

The two of them had come to the Song family to check out the situation and to give silver to their daughter and sister.

As soon as they arrived, they heard that Doctor Li had already arrived, so the duo came directly to this room.

Qin Dazhuang stepped forward.

When he saw Song Que's injured leg, he immediately frowned.

It seemed like his daughter really didn't lie to him. His pauper son-in-law had indeed suffered a serious injury in the mountains.

Looking at his brother-in-law's injuries, Qin Dahu also frowned.

He regretted not stopping his wife and stepmother from bullying his sister yesterday.

"Doctor Li, how much money do you need to cure my son-in-law's leg?" Qin Dazhuang asked Doctor Li.

Doctor Li stood up and cupped his hands at Qin Dazhuang in greeting.

Then, he looked at Song Que, who was lying on the bed, and knew what to do.

It turned out that the injured Mr. Song was the son-in-law of butcher Qin.

Recalling some of the rumors he had heard before, Doctor Li's eyes flashed with interest.

From the looks of it, the rumors could not be believed.

Although Ms. Qin's appearance was indeed a bit rough, there was nothing to pick on with regard to her character. She was genuinely very concerned about her husband.

Also, butcher Qin's attitude towards his son-in-law didn't seem to be fake.

"I estimate that it will cost ten taels of silver. The amount of medicine required will be hefty in the early stages, but after a month, when his condition has clearly improved, the amount of medicine can be reduced and he can slowly recuperate."

Stroking his beard, Doctor Li thought for a moment and continued. "If he wants to recover fully, I'm afraid it will take at least half a year."

Everyone was shocked to hear this.

"Of course, if it's just walking around, he should be able to do that in one and a half months. However, even if he's on the ground, he has to take good care of himself and avoid walking too much. "

Song Que was shocked after listening to the doctor.

Even Qin Dazhuang and Qin Dahu couldn't be bothered to hate him anymore. There was only one sentence echoing in their hearts. His leg would be fully healed in half a year.

He would not turn into a cripple…

"Then let's treat it!" Qin Dazhuang immediately said.

After speaking, he even took out his money bag and handed money to Doctor Li.

Doctor Li saw this and looked at Qin Dazhuang with admiration, but he didn't take the money.

"You don't have to pay all the silver in one go. I'll write a prescription and give some medical advice later. After this, you just need to follow the doctor's advice and go to the Hundred Herbs Hall to get the medicine. When the time comes, the Hundred Herbs Hall will collect the money based on the amount of medicine obtained each time. "

All three of them were relieved to hear this.

"How much do you charge for this consultation then?" As Qin Dazhuang spoke, he prepared to untie the money bag.

Doctor Li turned around and looked at Song Que's injuries.

"The house call fee is twenty copper coins, and Ms. Qin has already paid ten copper coins as a deposit, so there is still a balance of ten copper coins to be paid. The consultation fee is five copper coins. In addition to the medicinal powder and the medicine that needs to be changed later… I'll charge you eighty copper coins in all," he said.

Qin Dazhuang was stunned.

He looked at his pauper son-in-law's injury. "Just eighty copper coins?" he asked in disbelief.

"Yes," Doctor Li replied.

"When I make house calls, I only bring some ordinary medicine. This time, I'm here mainly to take a look at the patient's condition and perform some cleaning."

"For Mr. Song's injuries, you'll need to rely on the medicine to be procured later. When the time comes, you'll need medicine for both external application and oral consumption. You'll have to go to the Hundred Herbs Hall and buy it yourself. "

Qin Dazhuang understood.

Nodding his head, he quickly took out a tael of silver from his money bag and handed it to Doctor Li.

Doctor Li didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the silver. He gave Qin Dazhuang twenty copper coins back in change.

Qin Dazhuang didn't want to take the change, but after Doctor Li forced him to accept, he reluctantly pocketed the change.

At this moment, Qin Xiaoyao brought over some hot water. Seeing that her father had paid for the medical fee, her eyes turned red.

Doctor Li didn't pay any attention to this. He asked Qin Xiaoyao to quickly bring the hot water and handkerchief over and began to clean Song Que's wound.

Qin Dazhuang and Qin Dahu took the opportunity to lead Qin Xiaoyao outside.

In the courtyard.

Qin Dazhuang immediately shoved the money bag into Qin Xiaoyao's hands.

"Doctor Li said that son-in-law's injury will take half a year to recover completely, and it will cost about ten taels of silver in total."

"Take this money. There's no need for the IOU."

His son-in-law was so seriously injured that he would most likely be crippled if he was not treated.

Under such circumstances, there was no longer any need to force the other party to sign an IOU.

As for his wife's displeasure, he decided to let it go. At most, he would just go back and receive a scolding.

Qin Dahu also took out two taels of silver from his pocket and shoved them into his sister's hands.

"We came here in a hurry, so Father and I didn't bring you anything. This is Big Brother's small token of appreciation."

"Don't hold it against your sister-in-law for what happened yesterday."

Qin Xiaoyao only felt the hot sensation of the silver in her hand.

She didn't want to accept her father and brother's money, but she could only bite the bullet and accept it.

After thinking for a while, she opened the money bag her father gave her and took out five taels of silver. She then returned the rest to Qin Dazhuang.

"It's not like we have to pay up all ten taels at once. I'll just borrow five taels from you, Father. That should be enough. You can take the rest back and return it to Aunt."

Seeing that Qin Dazhuang did not agree, Qin Xiaoyao continued. "This way, even if you don't get a written IOU from Husband, Aunt won't have too much objection."

"Also, please tell Aunt that we'll definitely return the money within half a year."

Qin Dazhuang still didn't accept it. He still wanted to persuade his daughter to take the money.

However, Qin Xiaoyao firmly shoved the money back into his hand.

"I already know Father's good intentions. However, Aunt is pregnant now, so she needs to spend a lot of money. We should also consider her feelings."

"Regarding the matter of borrowing money, if I weren't really out of ideas, I wouldn't..."

"In short, you must explain it clearly to Aunt. When this crisis is over, I'll go to your house to thank her."

Qin Dazhuang was shocked by his daughter's change. At the same time, his heart ached even more.

Meanwhile, Qin Dahu was totally stupefied.

Not only was he surprised by his sister's words, but he was even more shocked by the girl's words that their stepmother was pregnant.

So, their father was…

He was going to be a Big Brother again?

"Big Brother, I will accept your silver without shame." As Qin Xiaoyao spoke, she turned to look at Qin Dahu.

"When we're better off in the future, I'll buy more snacks for my nephew."

Qin Dahu was taken aback, then he scratched his head.

"I still don't know if your sister-in-law can give birth to a boy," he said with some embarrassment.

He was six years older than his sister. He had been married for three years, but there was no sign of movement in his wife's tummy.

It wasn't easy to get a pregnancy this time, so he was very nervous.
