202 Ping An takes action
Ping An hadn't even gotten off the car when he heard someone say loudly, "Wan Qing, I'll return the engagement gift to you. This marriage is over from now on."
Ping'an and his uncle got out of the car, and Erqiang and others followed behind them.
The man almost hit He Zilin, but He Zilin dodged.
"Wanqing, peace has arrived."
"Uncle He."
The young man was tall and looked a bit like Wan Changsheng. Ping An felt he was very friendly at first sight.
"Are you Ping An? You've grown so much taller that I can't recognize you." Wan Qing grinned bitterly, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself in front of you."
The man stopped and said, "Wan Qing, is this child your second uncle's? Your second uncle is working outside. If you are willing to pay for your father's medical treatment, you can keep the marriage."
Wan Qing's face darkened: "Our two families have already called off the marriage, and besides, there is no reason for my second uncle to pay for medical treatment."
Ping An knew that his father had been keeping a low profile since returning, and Er Qiang never talked about it, so no one back home knew that they were actually living a very good life now.
"Wan Qing, some relatives are coming to your house. Do you want to look at the house now?" a middle-aged man next to him urged.
Ping An said, "Brother Qing, the house is not for sale. I will take care of the matter. Let them go and come with me into the house."
Wan Qing whispered something to the man, and the man didn't get angry. He just turned around and left.
Ping'an came into the house and sat down in the main room with his uncle.
"Brother Qing, what happened? I came back to take the county exam. When I arrived at my grandfather's house today, my uncle told me that he heard someone say that something happened to my uncle yesterday, but he didn't know the details."
Wan Qing told the story again with a wry smile.
"My mother took away all the money in the house and didn't go to my grandparents' house. I don't know where she went. I really can't find her.
I had no choice but to prepare to sell this house, and my family moved into my second uncle's house. This house can only be sold for about ten taels temporarily, and I plan to borrow some more, and if it is not enough, I will sell an acre of land.
As for the one who came to cancel the engagement just now, just let him cancel it. He doesn’t want to suffer with me, so there’s no need to take him with me.”
Ping'an was also speechless. He had heard from his father that his sister-in-law loved money like her life. It was true. She didn't treat her husband's injury and ran away with the money. Didn't she know that it was not safe outside now?
"Is uncle in Baicaotang in the county town now?"
Wan Qing nodded.
"Brother Qing, what do you think of your two younger brothers and sisters? You're worried about leaving them at home because they're too young, right? I'll go to the county town with you."
He Zilin said, "I'll take her home, Wan Qing, you can pick her up when you come back."
Wan Qing bowed and said, "Thank you, Uncle He."
Without further ado, Ping'an sent Uncle He and the two children back to the He family, said goodbye to their grandfather and others, and the carriage headed straight for the county town.
Ping An insisted that Erqiang stay for a few days. He finally got home, but he didn't know when he would come back next time.
Erqiang thought about it and agreed. Ping An already had Lin Feng and Masters Da and Xiao Wu by his side, so it wouldn't matter if he was missing.
But the old couple He felt unhappy. When their grandson came home, he didn't drink a sip of water or eat a bite of food.
But after all, the one who got into trouble was Changsheng's brother, and the woman was ignorant, so it would be better for Ping An to help, otherwise Changgeng's family would collapse.
Ping'an and the others arrived at Baicaotang.
Doctor Sun just came out of the ward. Because some patients find it inconvenient to go home during treatment, the clinic has prepared several small rooms, which is not available in every clinic.
"Ping'an, why are you here? Oh, because of your uncle Changgeng?" Because of selling medicine, Doctor Sun knew that Wan Changgeng was Wan Changsheng's brother.
"Doctor Sun, how is my uncle?"
Now Doctor Sun’s youngest daughter is his eldest cousin’s wife, and is of the same generation as his eldest uncle, but he and his great-uncle are brothers, so the generation relationship cannot be discussed.
"Ping An, your uncle is not in good condition. His left arm is broken, which is not a big problem. His left ankle is broken and difficult to treat. The tiger bone ointment we sell is quite effective, but the cost is high and the price is not cheap. I am worried that there are still bone fragments. I am afraid that only the eldest son can try to take it out. I dare not."
Ping An had an idea in mind: "Doctor Sun, I'll go see him. I'll pay for his expenses. I hope the medicine can be as good as possible."
Wan Qing's eyes turned red, but she bit her lips tightly. She couldn't refuse these. Her father was only in his thirties, and he couldn't live his whole life with inconvenience in walking.
He will repay some favors slowly.
"Okay, come with me. He is in a bad mood and it's not good for his treatment." Everyone would be in a bad mood if they meet such a bad wife and father-in-law.
Because the Yue family was injured, no one in the Yue family ran away.
Ping'an saw from afar a young man stewing medicine outside.
"Shoko." Wan Qing called out.
The boy raised his head. Ping An noticed that he was somewhat similar to Wan Qing and was also very calm. He never thought that a woman like that could raise several good sons.
He remembered that the boy was one year younger than Erqiang and was fourteen this year.
"Brother." He noticed Ping An next to him.
Lin Feng carried his medical box, while Xiao Wu and others stayed in the lobby.
Ping An smiled and said, "You are Xiang's cousin, right? I am Ping An."
The boy opened his eyes wide: "Safe?"
Wan Qing said, "He is Ping'an's cousin from my second uncle's family. He just finished the county exam yesterday. He knew that my father was injured, so he came to see me. How is my father?"
Wan Xiang lowered his eyes: "Not very well, it hurts a lot, the doctor just came and gave him some medicine."
Doctor Sun said, "I saw that he was in a lot of pain, so I gave him some painkillers, but the pain relief only lasts a limited time. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do acupuncture, and neither do the other doctors here."
Ping An knew that there were not many people in the Great Zhou who knew acupuncture, and it was generally not passed on to outsiders. Therefore, when his master dealt with elderly people who did not have any illnesses but were afraid of death, the best way was to give them a few needles, to cure the illness if they had it, and to promote blood circulation and unblock the meridians if they did not have any illness.
As they were talking, they arrived at the room where Wan Changgeng lived. They saw him lying on a small kang with a painful look on his face. The 35-year-old man seemed to have aged a lot.
"Uncle, I'm safe, are you feeling better?"
The man opened his eyes: "Safe? Is the Changsheng family safe?"
"Yes, uncle, I came here to take the county exam. I just finished the exam yesterday. Today I heard that you were injured. Can I take a look at your injury?" He turned to ask Doctor Sun, "Doctor Sun, can I take a look at your injury?"
Doctor Sun nodded: "Of course."
His cousin wrote to him, praising the boy for his skill in acupuncture.
Ping An carefully checked his arm and found that the arm bone was indeed broken, but Doctor Sun had bandaged it well and he would be fine after two or three months of rest.
Checking his ankle again, it was almost the same as Wang Qing's. The location of the injury and the small broken bones were basically the same.
This kind of injury was a piece of cake for him, and he didn't plan to hide his ability at this time, otherwise his uncle would be afraid that it would be difficult for him to leave the crutches in the future.
Even though he was safe and careful, Wan Changgeng was still sweating profusely from the pain.
"Uncle, I'll help you relieve the pain."
