Chapter 438: Shouldn’t the Song family be the ones to be afraid?
Xiao Jiayuan tried hard to swallow the rice and food in his mouth, but he swallowed so fast that he rolled his eyes.
Su quickly handed the water next to her forward and said, "Slow down." Su stood up and patted Xiao Jiayuan's back to help him breathe.
"No one's trying to snatch it from you?" Xiao Jiuyue sat aside, watching him gulp down water and wait a long time before swallowing his food, and reminded him, "Eat your food one bite at a time."
"Mom, I'm fine." Xiao Jiayuan sighed and said, "I will be more careful next time." The feeling of choking on food was so uncomfortable.
During the meal, Xiao Jiuyue and Su had already put down their chopsticks, and Xiao Jiayuan went in like a whirlwind, eating up all the remaining food.
"Mom, has grandma's health improved?" Xiao Jiuyue asked with concern. He had been doing free medical consultations all day and had dinner only after dark, so he had not had time to visit his grandmother.
"Doctor Xiao Wang's medicine is good. Your grandmother's health has obviously improved. Even Xin Niang said that Doctor Xiao Wang's medical skills are amazing."
When Mrs. Su mentioned this, she couldn't help but laugh. She said, "Oh, right, your grandmother's migraine is still a little painful. Doctor Wang said he wanted to stew old duck heads with Gastrodia elata. Tomorrow, Jin Wen is going to take people to the back mountain to see if there's any Gastrodia elata!"
"The boss and his men said there's Gastrodia elata in the deep mountains behind us." Su was quite happy when she talked about this. "The boss and his men really look different from the bandits, except that they look a bit more ferocious."
"If they really were bandits, the Third Prince wouldn't help them." Xiao Jiuyue chuckled. The strong laborers of Jiutouzhai were trained to be bandits, and they were even stronger than ordinary villagers. She looked at the Saltpeter Mountain, and saw that the Third Prince was also training intentionally. The strong laborers of Jiutouzhai were all trained like soldiers!
There are a lot of people in Jiutouzhai, and if they are well trained, they will be a good team.
"That's right." Su nodded in agreement and said, "It was right to choose to cooperate with the Third Prince."
Su looked at Xiao Jiayuan who had finished her meal. Before she could speak, Xiao Jiayuan said, "Mother, sister, I'm going to check the pulse."
Xiao Jiayuan was anxious to catch up with his sister, so he was reluctant to waste any time.
After finishing the pulse examination and it gets dark, Xiao Jiayuan can practice his boxing. He also needs to hone his skills as he will have to protect his sister and mother in the future.
"Yuer, what do you think of the Third Prince?"
In the room, all the dishes on the table had been cleared away. Su took a sip of a cup of scented tea and suddenly asked.
"His Highness the Third Prince keeps a low profile and treats the people well. If he can really ascend to a high position, it will be a blessing for the people of Nanyue." Xiao Jiuyue was a little expectant. If Jun Lie sat on that high position and wore the dragon robe, with his naturally noble temperament, he would probably be the most handsome emperor, right?
Su's eyes flickered slightly: "Then, what kind of woman do you think is worthy of him?"
"Shouldn't I ask him about this?"
Xiao Jiuyue's thoughts hadn't come to her senses yet. When she heard Su's words, she suddenly responded, "Mother, you don't think I have feelings for the Third Prince, do you?"
"Mom, I don't want to get married, let alone marry into the royal family!"
Xiao Jiuyue took Su's hand and looked up at her: "I want to find someone like my father, who doesn't take concubines."
The Xiao family has a tradition of not taking concubines. Except for the second uncle, no man in the Xiao family takes a concubine. There are not so many secrets in the Xiao family's backyard.
Su lowered her head. Xiao Jiuyue's eyes were clear. When she mentioned Jun Lie, there was not a trace of charm in her eyes.
"After returning to Shengjing, I will inevitably run into the Song family, and there will be no shortage of rumors."
The closer they got to Shengjing, the more Su Shi looked forward to a family reunion and became more worried about Xiao Jiuyue.
The cancellation of the engagement with the Song family had caused a huge uproar. They were far away from Shengjing and did not hear any rumors, but when they returned to Shengjing, they would inevitably run into the Song family.
"Mom, the mouths are on other people's bodies. Let them say whatever they want. I'm not afraid."
Xiao Jiuyue was certain that the Su family wouldn't take advantage of her marriage. After just a few small talk, Xiao Jiuyue sat up straight. "When we broke off the engagement, it was the Song family who broke their promise and took advantage of us. When they proposed, they talked more sweetly than they could sing. But when something happened to the Xiao family, they wanted to throw us aside immediately. So, they are the ones who should be embarrassed."
"Anyway, if you meet them, it's best not to mess with me." Xiao Jiuyue took a sip of tea. She was not worried about meeting the Song family.
After hearing her words, Su Shi felt relieved. She chuckled and said, "Since you know what's going on, then I'm relieved. Go to bed early."
On the second day of the free clinic, Xiao Jiuyue saw Gao Shan bringing his grandfather to see a doctor. After taking his pulse, Xiao Jiuyue learned that Gao Shan's grandfather was not only unable to move, but also suffered from frequent headaches. Xiao Jiuyue silently glanced at the grandfather and felt that Gao Shan was taking good care of him!
Otherwise, with my grandfather's immobile body, he would have developed bedsores after lying in bed for so many years.
She had heard that many people who were paralyzed in bed had bedsores because they did not receive good care. Some even had holes rotted on their waists and legs, and some even had maggots!
"Miss, can my grandfather cure it?" Gao Shan looked at Xiao Jiuyue with expectation. He was raised by his grandfather. If it weren't for his grandfather, there would be no him.
Grandpa is sick now. He took him to the county town to see a doctor, but there is no cure.
"I'm just an apprentice, I still have to look up to my master." Xiao Jiuyue is just a beginner. She might be able to treat common colds, but she definitely can't treat difficult and complicated diseases like Grandpa Gaoshan's.
"Don't worry, I'll take a look." Doctor Wang, after observing, smelling, asking, and feeling the patient, had a rough idea in his mind. He said, "Gao Shan, right? You take good care of your grandfather."
Doctor Xiao Wang praised him. He liked people like Gao Shan who were kind and righteous. He said, "The boss has already taken people into the mountains to look for Gastrodia elata. If they find some good-aged Gastrodia elata, combined with the prescription, it can relieve headaches. If you want a cure..."
"Grandpa has been having a headache. It's so uncomfortable. It would be best if it could be cured." Gao Shan's eyes lit up and he looked at Doctor Xiao Wang expectantly.
Doctor Wang said, "Take one dose of medicine first and see how it works. If it works, your grandfather will be pain-free for six months or even a year. Then you can take the medicine again and it will work."
"You should pay more attention to keeping warm in daily life. As for your grandfather's inability to move, that's difficult." Doctor Wang said, "I'll try acupuncture first. Maybe the upper body can move, but it will take too long to heal the legs."
"Doctor, it's great that we can move our upper body!" After hearing this, Gao Shan excitedly knelt down in front of Doctor Xiao Wang.
There are not only Gao Shan who are as excited as him, but also other people in Gaoliang Village. Gao Feng's mother has a typical gynecological disease, with irregular menstruation and her period lasting half a month.
