Chapter 707 Borrowing Food



Before going up the mountain, Tian An specially gave Tian Mingwu ointment and asked him to apply it to An Wan morning and evening to soften the wounds on her face.

After returning, the first thing Tian An did was to inspect the results. After carefully evaluating the scar on An Wan's face, Tian An immediately announced that the operation could begin the next day.

Originally, going back for surgery was the best option, but considering that Mrs. An was old, she was afraid that she would feel sad, blame herself, and hurt her body after seeing An Wan's face.

If the operation had been completed in the valley and he had rested for ten days on the road, even if the scars had not been completely removed by the time he returned to the capital, they would not be as scary as they are now.

The next day, before the operation, Tian Mingwu kept pulling Tian An, asking her to be gentle during the operation and not to hurt An Wan. He was even more nervous than An Wan.

In the end, Zhao Yiming couldn't bear it any longer and stepped forward to comfort her: "Father-in-law, you have to believe in An An. She will definitely consider everything for her mother-in-law.

Besides, if you keep nagging like this, your mother-in-law will be nervous, and if you delay, the light will be bad, and the operation will be more difficult." He quickly let go of Tian An's hand.

Everything was ready and the operation began. Tian An directly used silver needles to give An Wan general anesthesia, and then took her into the space to start the scar removal operation.

This operation was very simple for Tian An and was successfully completed in less than two quarters of an hour.

When An Wan opened her eyes and heard Tian An say the operation was over, she was a little confused. "I felt like I just dozed off. I thought it hadn't even started yet! How come it's over already?"

Tian An smiled and helped her up, "It's just a minor operation, it will be quick."

He showed her the mirror and said, "The original scar has been removed. From now on, as long as you persist in applying the ointment every day, it will be back to normal in a month and a half at most."

An Wan looked in the mirror and saw that the scar that had originally been dark red and enlarged was now only a pink mark, and she was so happy that she almost cried.

It was hard to imagine that the ugly scar had really disappeared, and I subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch it.

Tian An saw this and quickly stopped her hand, "Mom, the operation has just been completed. There are bacteria on your hands. Don't touch them."

By the way, he reminded her: "Even in the future, you can't use your hands directly when applying the medicine." Then he handed her a box of ointment that he had prepared in advance. There was a small flat spoon for applying the medicine in the compartment of the ointment lid.

Tian An pointed to the small spoon and said, "When applying the ointment, wash your hands with soap first, then use this small spoon to take an appropriate amount of ointment from the box and apply it to the scar."

He then took a veil that was slightly thicker but softer than the one she had worn before and put it on her: "Before the scar completely disappears, be sure to avoid being blown by the wind and eat a light diet. Avoid spicy, greasy, raw, cold and other irritating foods to avoid irritating the body and hindering the recovery of the scar.

Eating more fruits and vegetables can increase nutrition in the body and help improve skin elasticity. "After a while of instructions, Tian An helped An Wan out.

Seeing the two of them leave, Tian Mingwu immediately surrounded them, helped An Wan over and looked at Tian An, "How is it, girl, is your mother okay?"

Tian An raised his chin, patted his chest with confidence and said, "Don't worry! With me here, I guarantee your face will be restored to its original state. After the scars are completely healed, I will personally prepare a set of skin care products for you. I guarantee your skin will be white, translucent and tender, comparable to that of an 18-year-old girl."

An Wan's heart was moved by what she heard, but she didn't expect to be compared with the other girls. "As long as this scar can be removed, I will be satisfied. How can I still expect to be compared with those girls!"

Tian An didn't care. What woman doesn't love beauty? She just thought An Wan didn't believe her: "Just wait, mother."

"Okay, okay, Mom will wait." She naturally believed what her daughter said.

After An Wan's surgery, Zhao Yiming and Tian Mingwu began to discuss their return trip.

These children of officials could not travel far, and the captured Xiao Qingheng could not show up in public, so they could only let Qin Wen and Shen Cheng take people to the nearest town to purchase a carriage.

The hostages and criminals had to be taken back to the capital, but it would be difficult to deal with the original villagers.

They originally lived in this valley on a self-sufficient basis, rarely going out, and had a generation gap in communication with the outside world.

But later, the valley was occupied by King Wenxuan's people for so many years, and they only produced the minimum amount of food and made them do the hardest work, which had long broken their self-sufficient life chain.

Now they have neither money nor food. In addition, the young people in the village neither know how to farm nor have ever been out of the valley, so they have no idea how to work outside to support their families.

As soon as Tian An and his men left, the village would be almost starving and on the verge of death.

Seeing Zhao Yiming and his group packing up to leave these past two days, the villagers could no longer sit still and went to the village chief for help.

So, just after Tian An finished dinner that day, the village chief came to the courtyard where Tian An and his family lived, supported by Ye Qing and Ye Zi.

To be precise, this was their home before, but it was later rebuilt by King Wenxuan's people.

When the three of them saw Tian An and his companions, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Please have mercy on us, nobles, and help us!"

Tian An hurriedly asked someone to help the three of them stand up: "Old man, if you have anything to say, please sit down and we can talk slowly. You are so old, and you kneel down before me. Isn't that embarrassing for me?"

The three of them apologized quickly: "Sir, we're sorry, we really didn't mean it."

Tian An waved his hand and asked them to sit down and talk, "Just tell me what you have to say."

The three of them looked at each other, and Ye Qing stood up and walked over to Tian An and Zhao Yiming. "I, I would like to ask Madam and the official to help us, our village."

Tian An and Zhao Yiming looked at each other and said, "How do you want us to help you?"

Hearing that Tian An did not refuse outright, Ye Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with some difficulty: "I would like to borrow some food from you, Madam. I want to borrow some food for the winter and some seeds for next year."

Hearing this, Tian An didn't say whether to lend or not, but only said: "Have you thought of what to use as collateral?"

After all, he was young and had never left the valley or dealt with outsiders. Tian An's only words made him embarrassed and at a loss. He really couldn't answer, so he had to turn around and go back to see his grandfather.

The old man was very embarrassed about this, but for the sake of the villagers' lives, he had to stand up and say, "We are penniless now and have nothing to mortgage to the madam. We can only wait until we grow food and then return it to the madam." He also knew that this was too much, but he had to fight for it.

"Does the old man know that borrowing things will incur interest?" Tian An reminded.

"Interest?" Ye Qing and his sister were stunned for a moment and looked at their grandfather blankly. In the past, when people in the village borrowed things, they had to pay back what they borrowed and how much they borrowed. This was the first time they heard of interest.
