Chapter 143: Urging Marriage
Jiang Wan usually spends money lavishly. A few or ten cents is fine, but twenty or thirty taels is really painful.
She didn't sleep well the whole night, and when it was almost dawn, heavy rain pounded against the doors and windows, making it even more difficult to sleep.
Both mother and daughter, who had experienced typhoons, knew that this rainstorm was just a small scene before the typhoon came.
When the typhoon actually hits the island, the wind and rain will be much more terrible than they are now.
Fortunately, their houses are now made of stone and brick, so they don't have to worry about the destructive power of the typhoon and can just survive a few days.
Jiang Wan took out all the shells and slowly drilled holes in them, while Yin Ning sat beside her and embroidered attentively.
The couple next door were also busy. They placed pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table in the pharmacy and were copying books together.
This is the reward that Yin Huaishan promised to give to the top three students in the class.
It is quite expensive for children to buy a book by themselves, which costs several hundred coins. It would be much more economical if they copied the book by themselves.
Anyway, there's nothing to do in such a storm outside.
The family members were busy with their own things. They had dry food when they were hungry and water when they were thirsty. They lived a very leisurely life.
The next day, the wind and rain were much stronger, and a lot of rain seeped in through the cracks in the doors and windows. The door was banging in the wind, and it was as if there were ghosts outside, making a continuous howling sound.
From time to time, you can feel the sound of something being blown by the wind and hitting the door and the wall.
Very scary.
Jiang Wan and her daughter were fine, but Yin Ning's family was terrified. After all, they were born and raised in the north, and they had never seen such a scene before.
During the two days when the typhoon was at its worst, probably no one in the village could sleep well.
The overwhelming wind and rain seemed to be about to overturn the entire village. In addition to rain, there were all kinds of things blown up into the sky.
There are sundries from the villagers’ homes, various weeds and gravel, and a variety of seafood.
Yes, seafood.
Typhoons are not only fierce on land, but also in the sea. Many shallow sea seafood will be pushed to the shore by the surging waves, and then the strong wind will blow away all the seafood.
In modern times, after a typhoon passes, the beach is full of seafood and the tears of farmers.
If the house was closer to the shore, you could pick up a few buckets without leaving the house.
There are no fish farmers here, but the resources are more abundant than in modern offshore areas, and there should be a lot of seafood on the beach as well.
Jiang Wan hoped that the typhoon would stop soon so that she could reap some benefits, but her mother was worried about how many people in the village would be injured by such a severe typhoon.
Last time, it was just a house collapse caused by heavy rain, and my brother's leg was broken and has not recovered yet. This time, with such a strong typhoon, some houses in the village will definitely not be able to withstand it. I hope no one will be injured.
It's just that good spirits don't work, and bad spirits do. When the typhoon was just weak, some villagers came to ask for help in the wind and rain.
Some were hit on the head by the wall collapse, others on the arms and legs. The most seriously injured had already fainted from bleeding, and no one dared to touch him.
Yin Huaixi quickly packed up the medicine box, took everything with her and went out.
Jiang Wan wanted to talk to her but she wouldn't give in.
"It's not so stormy now, maybe some villagers will come to see the doctor. You're the only one who knows the medicines I usually prepare. If the situation is not serious, you can take care of him first."
This made sense, so Jiang Wan stayed at home.
Not long after, I saw a man walking in from the gate carrying someone on his back.
"It's Lian Yue and his grandmother!"
Yin Ning was sitting short, so he could see clearly and recognized it at a glance.
Jiang Wan quickly opened the door of the pharmacy a little to let the two people in.
"Where's your mother, Xiao Wan? My grandma got hit on the head by the wall! She's been bleeding!"
"My mother was called away by the villagers. Some of her were seriously injured. Please move aside and let me take a look at her wounds."
Jiang Wan knew how to bandage the wound simply, and there was no shortage of medicine in the pharmacy, so she could start the operation directly after determining the location of the wound.
But when she took out the powder and the tape, she was in trouble.
Although the wound on Lian Yue'a's nipple was not big enough to require stitches, it was not small. In order to clean the wound and stop the bleeding, she would definitely have to cut off some of her hair.
The ancients seemed to attach great importance to their hair, and they would still tell the patient about it.
"Brother Lian Yue, we need to cut off some of your grandma's hair, what do you think?"
Lian Yue did not hesitate.
"Go ahead, it's okay."
It's not like I'm cutting it all off, so it's okay.
Jiang Wan immediately used two pairs of scissors to cut off a small tuft of hair, and then began to clean it, apply medicine and bandage it.
When she finished bandaging and was tying the bandage, she suddenly heard her cousin scream. She turned around and saw Lian Yue had fallen into her cousin's arms.
!!!!!!!
It turns out he is injured too!
"Cousin, something seems to be wrong with his right hand!"
Yin Ning's face turned pale with fright. She didn't care about the difference between men and women and quickly helped Lian Yue up to show her cousin her hand.
Lian Yue just couldn't hold on for a moment, and woke up when he was helped up.
My body was actually quite painful at the moment, but when I saw myself lying in Yin Ning's arms, I felt full of energy and even the pain was reduced a little.
However, he only relaxed for a few moments before forcing himself to stand up.
"I'm fine, my hand was just hit. Xiao Wan, just give me some medicine for bruises and injuries."
"That won't work. You need my mother to come back and see what you have done."
Lian Yue was about to speak again, but Jiang Wan interrupted him.
"If you don't treat your hand properly, what if there are any sequelae in the future? There is a high possibility that you will not be able to lift heavy objects or do heavy work."
Upon hearing this, Lian Yue immediately shut up.
He is the pillar of the family, how can he function without strength in his hands?
"Just sit still and wait for my mother to come back. Your grandma has to show it to my mother, too."
Jiang Wan's expression changed after he finished speaking.
People have three urgent needs, and there are men in the room, so she really can't use a bucket.
Forget it, let’s get wet in the rain. Jiang Wan whispered a few words to her cousin and then hurried out wearing a straw hat and a raincoat wrapped tightly around her.
Lian Yue was stunned. When he turned around, he saw Yin Ning's face flushed. His heart skipped a beat and he dared not look at her anymore, so he turned away.
The atmosphere in the room was a little strange, but soon the old man woke up and the atmosphere returned to normal.
"Grandma, how are you? Do you have a severe headache?"
"I'm fine..."
Grandma Lian Yue looked a little weak, and her voice was feeble when she spoke.
"Where am I?"
"Are we at Doctor Yin's place? The wound on your head has been healed with medication."
When the injury was mentioned, the old man suddenly became excited.
She remembered that when the wall collapsed, she protected Xiao Yuanzi, and her eldest grandson also protected himself.
If I was injured when such a huge wall fell down, my eldest grandson must be injured as well!
"Come here and let me take a look!"
"I'm fine. I'm in Doctor Yin's pharmacy. Even if I'm injured, I can get treatment. Grandma, don't worry. Just lie down for a while."
Grandma Lian Yue thought about it and felt that what her eldest grandson said made sense. Since everything was in the pharmacy, there was no need to worry even if they were injured.
Once the stone in my heart was put down, my spirits suddenly became much weaker again.
"Ah Yue... I feel like I'm really not feeling well. When are you willing to go and see a girl? Before I left, I saw that you had a companion..."
Lian Yue felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He did not dare to look back at Yin Ning's expression. He just comforted Grandma as usual and said, "Grandma, you are in good health. There is no need to rush this matter. Xiao Yuanzi has just started school and he has even received a prize from the teacher. You should keep an eye on him and make sure he studies well, right?"
In the past, I could easily fool the old man by saying these things, but this time the old man was very stubborn.
"I'm relieved that you're looking after your brother, but I'm worried about you."
If I can't see my eldest grandson get married, I'm afraid that after I die, this guy may never get married.
Grandma Lian Yue grabbed her eldest grandson and sat him up. Just as she was about to continue talking, she saw a pretty girl sitting not far behind her eldest grandson, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
But when she took a closer look and found that it was Yin Ning, the joy in her heart immediately disappeared.
This girl is good, but I am not worthy of her.
