Chapter 72 She refused to go to town for medical treatment
After hearing what his father said, Gu Xiaoxi hurried out and brought back the chestnuts he would need for tomorrow.
After carrying it back, she left the house again with the basket on her back and found the old patriarch's home from her memory.
The old patriarch was smoking his pipe at the door with a sad face. When he heard footsteps approaching, he slowly raised his head.
Under the dim moonlight, Gu Xiaoxi saw tears in the eyes of the kind old patriarch.
After the old patriarch saw that it was Xiaoxi, he forced a smile and asked, "Why are you here, girl?"
"Let me see Granny Carrot." Gu Xiaoxi stepped forward and helped the old patriarch to stand up.
The old patriarch looked at Xiaoxi and said, "I heard that you have been doing business with your brothers these days and have really started to turn over a new leaf."
"Don't worry, old patriarch, I will let my parents live a good life. Besides, I have cured my father's leg. I heard that Grandma Luobo was sick, so I came to see her." Gu Xiaoxi said.
When the old patriarch heard that Xiaoxi had cured Gu He's leg, his eyes suddenly lit up. He hurriedly said, "Quick, go check on your carrot grandma. She refuses to go to town for treatment. She says...she says it's a waste of money. She also says...she's leaving."
After hearing what the old patriarch said, Gu Xiaoxi walked quickly into the yard and rushed into the house where the old patriarch lived according to his memory.
In the house, the old patriarch's eldest son Gu Yuntian and Yuntian's wife were guarding Grandma Luobo.
Seeing Gu Xiaoxi rushing in, Yuntian's wife, who had always disliked Gu Xiaoxi, didn't ask why and just rushed over to chase her away: "Get out, get out! My mother-in-law is already like this, and you still have the nerve to come and borrow money?"
"I'm not here to borrow money." Gu Xiaoxi knew that this aunt had never liked her, or rather, didn't like their family.
"Then what are you doing here?" Yuntian's wife said fiercely with her head raised.
"I'll come and see Granny Luobo. Please, Aunt Yuntian, move aside first." After saying this, Gu Xiaoxi was about to walk towards the bed, but was forcibly pushed out of the door by the other party.
The old patriarch had just walked to the door when he saw Xiaoxi being pushed out by his eldest daughter-in-law. He shouted angrily, "What are you doing?"
"Dad, she said she came to see mom. How could she come without anything in her hands?" Yuntian's wife said with a look of disgust.
"You blind man, get out of my way!" The old patriarch hated the snobbish look of the eldest brother's wife the most. He pulled her away and then pulled Gu Xiaoxi into the house.
snort!
Yuntian’s wife snorted coldly. She didn’t know what had happened to her father-in-law. Why did he treat Gu He’s family so well?
"Don't worry, old patriarch, let me take a look." Gu Xiaoxi comforted the old patriarch and then quickly walked to the bedside.
Gu Yuntian had heard from people in the village before that Gu Xiaoxi had found a master outside and learned some medical skills, but he didn’t know if it was true?
However, now my mother is unwilling to go to the town to see a doctor, and I guess my father also wants to try his luck.
"What are you doing here? Light an extra lamp in the room and let Xiaoxi see your mother." Seeing his wife become like this, the old patriarch has been in a particularly bad mood these past two days and wants to yell at everyone he sees.
Gu Yuntian hurried out and brought the kerosene lamp from his room.
After being scolded, Yuntian's wife stood at the doorway, not daring to go in. When she saw her husband coming out, she went up to him and complained, "What kind of medical skills does that debt collector have? He's just here to cheat people out of money."
"Shut up right there. If you keep talking nonsense, I will slap you to death even if I don't!" Gu Yuntian was also very angry. It was already a certain time, and this woman had no sense of propriety at all.
Yuntian's wife looked aggrieved and didn't dare to say anything. She went to get the oil lamp and brought it in.
Gu Xiaoxi briefly examined Grandma Luobo and then said, "Light a big fire in the house and close the doors and windows. You two can go out for a moment while I give her a thorough checkup."
"You, what can you do?" Yuntian's wife muttered in a low voice.
Bang!
Gu Yuntian slapped his wife in the face.
This time Yuntian's wife was completely quiet, and she covered her mouth and added more fire to the brazier.
The old patriarch asked worriedly, "Xiaoxi, tell me the truth, your grandmother Luobo..."
"Don't worry, old patriarch. I'll take another look at my mother-in-law." Gu Xiaoxi couldn't answer immediately. She needed to check carefully.
There are examination instruments in the space room, which were prepared for the master before, and there is also a small operating room inside.
After listening to this, the old patriarch nodded and let his eldest son help him out the door.
Gu Xiaoxi went forward and locked the door, then put a cloth on Grandma Luobo's eyes and carefully brought the old lady into the space operating room.
After an examination in the operating room, it was found that the elderly man was just suffering from a cold for too long, which made him too weak, and there were no other problems.
After getting the results, she first gave Grandma Carrot the antipyretic medicine, then put her back on the bed outside, and then opened the door.
The father and son outside the door were so nervous that their hearts jumped up in their chests. When they heard the door open, their heartbeats quickened.
"Xiao, Xiaoxi, my mother, my mother Ru, how is she?" Gu Yuntian's voice was trembling, afraid to hear a bad result.
"It's just a common cold, it's just that it's been delayed for a little too long, so the body is so weak. I'm going to give Po Po an acupuncture later, and it will probably take an hour. You can't come in and disturb me." Gu Xiaoxi told them the situation.
Because Granny Carrot was too weak, she had to be given an IV drip, which was very time-consuming and could only be called an acupuncture injection these days.
After hearing what Gu Xiaoxi said, Yuntian’s wife thought it was a lie.
However, the old patriarch chose to believe it. He said seriously, "Okay, you give me the injection, and I'll guard it for you. I won't let anyone in until you come out."
"It's windy outside, don't catch a cold. Just wait in the next room." Gu Xiaoxi saw that the old patriarch was already very worried. He probably hadn't slept well in the past two days. If there was another wind, he would have to lie down again.
"Xiaoxi is right. Let's just close the yard door and wait in the next room." Gu Yuntian was also worried that his father would fall ill.
Uh-huh!
This time the old patriarch was obedient and went to the next room to sit down with his eldest son.
Yuntian's wife glanced at Gu Xiaoxi, somewhat worried that her mother-in-law would die at her hands. She couldn't help but whisper a warning, "If anything happens to my mother, I'll kill you!"
"If you want to kill me, do it now. I don't owe you anything." Gu Xiaoxi was also a little angry. This woman was simply a fool.
Gu Yuntian had just sat down when he heard Gu Xiaoxi's voice. He rushed out and slapped his wife twice.
"You blind thing, get out of the house!" He was really angry to death. Even if Gu Xiaoxi couldn't cure his mother, it was a good thing to be able to calm his father's emotions first.
