Chapter 61 Planning to Treat Du Jiang's Leg

"Yes." Du Wanwan did not hide anything and told them casually, "Bitter herbs have a wide range of effects and are the best anti-inflammatory drugs. They can be used for coughs, high fevers, chills, flooding, and vomiting. Whether it will be effective depends on the specific symptoms of the patient."

The man's eyes sparkled: "I'll carry grandma over here, can you take a look at her?"

"Okay!"

As soon as Du Wanwan agreed, the man turned and ran away. Then he thought something was wrong and ran back to bow to her before running away again.

The others rushed to speak.

"Wanwan! My father is dying too. Can you help take a look?"

"And my mother said her chest feels tight and she can't breathe. Can you take a look?"

"Wan Wan! Grandpa Qi is sorry for you! But your grandma Qi is very ill, please take a look at her!"

“······”

Du Wanwan held her forehead with her hand, and finally glanced at everyone, feeling helpless: "Alright! Bring them all over here so I can take a look."

"Hey! Thank you!"

"Thank you so much!"

"Coming right up."

After saying some polite words, everyone left.

Du Jiang glanced at his daughter and said to Yao Meixian, "Wanwan is kind-hearted after all."

"As a doctor, I can't just watch people die in front of me." Yao Meixian was very worried. "The people in Dujia Village are not all ungrateful after receiving a favor!"

"That's definitely not going to happen." Du Jiang sighed secretly, "Just remember one thing, since our family has been expelled, we should never return to the clan. No matter who comes to intercede, I can't agree. I'm afraid of them."

Yao Meixian smiled bitterly: "I am afraid of them too. I won't go back even if I kill myself. If the villagers have any problems again, they will blame it on our Wanwan."

As the couple was talking, they saw the people who had left earlier coming back, carrying several old men and women.

Du Jiang and Yao Meixian didn't go over, they knew their daughter could handle it.

Du Wanwan took the pulse of each patient and asked about their condition. For those who were really serious, she asked Yaya to prescribe medicine and distribute it to them from the wheelbarrow.

For those with milder symptoms, they were given a few herbs and told how to decoct them.

Several people carried the patient back with many thanks and left the medical fees. Some gave copper coins, and some gave gifts.

Du Wanwan confiscated all of them and returned them all, telling them: "This is the first time, and the last time. If you have any illness or disaster in the future, find a way to treat it yourself, and don't always think of bothering me. I am not from Gujia Village, and I have no obligation to take care of you."

It cannot be said that she has to take care of all the people in Dujia Village just because she treated them. She is not that magnanimous. She only takes care of the seriously ill ones and does not want to take care of the rest.

The people of Dujia Village have already expelled their family. If Du Liu hadn't been kneeling down and kowtowed loudly, she actually didn't want to care about anything in Dujia Village at all.

Since it has been started, she will agree to take care of it this time, and only this time, no more than this. She is kind-hearted and can't stand it, but she has a bottom line.

She had better say the ugly words first, so as to avoid a fallout later and the people in Dujia Village starting to scold her again.

"Yes! We remember it!"

Everyone answered in unison and left with their family members' patients satisfied.

Xiao Qi flew over and stood on Du Wanwan's shoulder: "Master! Someone in Dujia Village scolded you just now."

"Who scolded me? What did they scold me for?" Du Wanwan stretched out her hand, let Xiao Qi stand in her palm, and raised it in front of her so that its eyes were level with hers. "Do you know the person who scolded me?"

"I know him." Xiao Qi nodded his head, "That person is Du Hong who came to cause trouble for us last time."

"What did she call me? Disaster star?"

Xiao Qi's eyes lit up, and he felt that his master was very smart: "Yes, yes, that's what I meant."

Aunt Hua flew back and told Du Wanwan: "There is a city not far ahead. We will arrive there tomorrow afternoon."

"Oh?" Du Wanwan became interested. "After walking for so long, I finally saw a city. Is the city big?"

“Very big.”

Aunt Hua tilted her head and thought for a long time before answering. In fact, it really didn't know whether the city was big or not. After all, it was not a human being and couldn't figure out the concept of big.

Du Wanwan also knew this and did not continue to question her. She asked Yaya to bring out millet and water to feed Aunt Xiao Qihua.

After dinner, everyone started to rest. Du Wanwan was still on duty, while Du Jiang and Yao Meixian took their three sons to bed.

There is no way. Du Wanwan is the only one in the family who can understand what Xiaoqi and Aunt Hua say, so they are actually the ones on night duty.

With them, the family saves a lot of trouble. For example, when looking for water, Aunt Hua and Xiao Qi will look for it everywhere when everyone stops on the road.

Once it finds the bird, it will fly back and tell its owner, who will then take his family to fetch water.

Sometimes people from Huojia Village would follow, but Du Wanwan never said anything to them. Those who liked to follow would follow and line up to get water.

Her family only fetches water for show. Most of the water they fetch is used to wash dishes and pots. All the drinking water comes from the space.

After fleeing famine for so long, other children had lost a lot of weight and looked listless, but they were the only ones who didn't look tired at all.

Du Wenjun, Du Wenguan, and Du Wenhuo have all grown up a lot. The clothes they made last year were too short, and they were a lot shorter when they were worn.

Du Wanwan felt that this was not a good idea. If she arrived in the city tomorrow, she would have to go in and buy some cloth, cotton, etc. The weather was getting cold, so she had to prepare cotton-padded clothes and pants quickly.

The clothes my parents are wearing are a little thin. Their physical fitness has improved a lot, but they can't catch a cold.

Treating Ye Tingxiao earned a lot of money, so I had to spend it. The whole family had to be well fed and clothed. It was unknown how long it would take to walk from here to Liang County, so we couldn't go without winter clothes and quilts.

The quilt is actually in the space, but I just don’t dare take it out.

That's not made of cotton, it's made of soybean fiber. I'm afraid it'll be exposed if I take it out, so you'd better buy it!

When it was daybreak, Du Wanwan told Yao Meixian what she meant, but she didn't expect that she was in such an awkward situation.

He took out the little change and copper coins left in his pocket and gave them all to Du Wanwan: "Dalang! This is all the money we have at home. See what you can buy with it."

After taking it and taking a look, Du Wanwan returned the silver and copper coins to Yao Meixian: "Mom! I have the silver in my hand, you can keep these for yourself. I just want to tell you that our family should buy winter clothes and quilts."

Du Jiang was surprised: "Da Lang! Where did you get the money?"

Du Wanwan didn't intend to hide it from her parents, so she lowered her voice and told them, "Does the Prince of Pingyang who came last time know about this? He bought the medicine from me and gave me 100 taels of silver."

"What?" Du Jiang exclaimed after hearing this. He thought something was wrong and covered his mouth. He looked around and was relieved when no one noticed his abnormality. "What medicine did he buy? He actually gave you so much money?"

Yao Meixian's face also changed color: "Dalang! Are you telling the truth?"

Du Wanwan nodded, her expression serious: "I didn't lie to you. Dad! The weather is getting cold, your leg needs treatment. I'll go to the city to buy some things and I'll treat your leg when I come back."

Du Jiang looked at his broken leg and couldn't believe it: "Da Lang! Can Dad's leg be healed?"
