Chapter 38 If you dare to touch my chicken, I will kill you
"Doctor Zhou, thank you so much, you are such a good person!" Cen Yan's eyes moved when he heard the words, and he expressed gratitude for the other party's kindness.
"You're welcome. Saving the dying and healing the wounded is what I should do. It's just that my medical skills are limited, and I can't always cure patients immediately... Well, I'll go back first. You take good care of your father. If your second branch wants to live a good life, they can't live without him." Doctor Zhou waved his hand at her, and as he said this, he couldn't help sighing again and again.
Cen Yan handed him one or two taels of silver.
After packing up the medicine box and instructing Li on some details about taking care of Cen Dahai, he walked out of the second room.
Cen Yan naturally had to see him off.
Sure enough, Old Lady Cen and the people from the first and third wives were waiting for him outside.
"Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Zhou. How is our second son's injury? Is there still hope?" asked Old Mrs. Cen.
"Well, it's hard to say. Why didn't you come to me earlier? He lost too much blood last night. It took a night and half a day has passed. It all depends on luck!" Doctor Zhou said truthfully.
"What?" Old Lady Cen's face changed. "Doctor Zhou, that girl Cen Yan said she saw the second son's ghost floating around the house today. Our third son's wife also said she bumped into him. Is this true? You are a doctor, you must know if this is true, right?"
"Ghost?" Doctor Zhou was puzzled for a moment.
The person is not dead, so how can there be any ghost?
And they, as doctors, never believe this...
But when he turned his head and saw Cen Yan's pleading eyes, he immediately understood something.
This girl probably used this method to get the money from Old Lady Cen for her father's medical treatment!
Poor child!
He decided to help Cen Yan.
"When a person is about to die, his soul will indeed leave his body. If he dies due to harm or injustice, his soul will become an evil ghost, disturbing the family..." Doctor Zhou said thoughtfully, and his words were very cautious, repeatedly hinting to the people in the Cen family that Cen Dahai was seriously injured like this because of the harm he suffered from them.
"This, this, but we all asked you to come and see him. Even if he turns into a fierce ghost, he shouldn't come back to find us, right?" Old Mrs. Cen was terrified when she heard this, and immediately said guiltily.
"You are his closest relatives. His soul saw how you treated him when he was unconscious. Besides, even if you spend a few taels of silver to ask me to come and treat his injuries, so what? Five taels of silver alone are not enough to save his life." Doctor Zhou continued.
"What? Five taels of silver are not enough!" Old Mrs. Cen felt a pain in her flesh just by hearing these words.
But unexpectedly, what Dr. Zhou said next was like cutting off a piece of her flesh!
"I see that you have so many chickens at home. Chicken soup is the most nutritious. You have to kill at least one chicken for him every day!" said Doctor Zhou.
"Kill the chicken? Grandma, I want to eat chicken and drink chicken soup too!" On the side, Cen Lin and Cen Meng from the eldest wife's house clapped their hands and shouted happily when they heard it.
"Shut up, everyone!"
Old Mrs. Cen was so angry that she jumped up and down. She yelled at the two children and then said coldly, "We only have a few dozen chickens at home, and they need to lay eggs! If he doesn't wake up one day, do we have to kill all the chickens at home? This is absolutely not possible!"
"No? Ha, this is your family's own business. You tell me it's impossible, what does it have to do with me? Anyway, if you are unwilling to try your best to save Cen Dahai, his soul will not be able to return to his body, and he will become a ghost after death. Then you will know whether it works or not!" Doctor Zhou did not want to waste time talking to this arrogant and unreasonable old lady Cen, who was so cold-blooded and ruthless to her own son. After he finished speaking coldly, he took a few steps and walked out of the door of old Cen's house.
"Hey, Doctor Zhou? Let's talk it over nicely. I'll take you back..." Cen Dajiang knew that he could not offend a doctor, so he hurriedly pulled the ox cart to catch up with him.
"No need. It's just a short distance. I can walk back by myself." However, Doctor Zhou just said this and ignored him and walked away quickly.
"Stop! What are you sending? Don't you see that the other person doesn't want you to send it?" Seeing this, Old Lady Cen got so angry that she yelled at Cen Dajiang again.
"Then grandma, I'll go kill a chicken for dad and make some chicken soup to nourish him." Cen Yan didn't care what Grandma Cen's expression was at the moment. As he spoke, he was about to walk towards the chicken coop.
"Stop right there! If you dare touch one of my chickens, I will kill you!" Old Mrs. Cen shouted at her fiercely.
"Oh, well, I won't move. I'll just wait for my dad to turn into a fierce ghost and make the whole house a mess. When that time comes, if my dad wants to eat chicken, not to mention one chicken, all the chickens in the chicken coop will be ruined! By then, I'm afraid that even Yu Banxian will be helpless!" Cen Yan said this deliberately.
"Mom, now is not the time to feel sorry for the chickens at home! Hurry up and give our second brother some good nourishment. Maybe he will wake up in two or three days, and then we won't have to kill chickens anymore!" Upon hearing this, Cen Dajiang hurriedly advised.
"Yes, mother, think about it carefully. Is it better to kill two or three chickens to save your second brother, or is it better for all the chickens, ducks and cows in the family to be harmed by your second brother in the future? By then, let alone the lives of the chickens, I'm afraid we won't be able to save our lives either!" Gao also advised.
"Mom, let's not talk about anything else. Saving your life is the most important thing..." Although Yu was reluctant, she had to say this for the sake of her own life.
Of course, Old Mrs. Cen understood these principles.
So what?
She just can't bear to do it!
When she thought about how Cen Dahai, this lowly fellow who should have worked for her all his life like a slave, would one day not only ask her to pay for his medical treatment, but also ask her to feed him a chicken every day, she felt furious.
But at this time, she could only bear it for the time being!
He owes her now, and after his injuries are healed, she must get it back double from him!
Thinking of this, Old Lady Cen finally felt a little more balanced.
But she did not forget to tell Cen Yan sternly, "You little bitch! Be quick when you kill the chicken! I warn you, this chicken soup is only for your father to drink. The rest, when it is ready, must be served by the first wife first, then the first wife, and then the third wife! For your father's life, the family has already lost five taels of silver. You, the second wife, are not allowed to taste any more than your father!"
Because of what Doctor Zhou had just said, she naturally thought that the five taels of silver she had given to Cen Yan had all been taken away by Doctor Zhou.
Otherwise, she would still be worrying about asking Cen Yan to return the remaining silver to her.
"Oh, I understand." Cen Yan responded.
She walked quickly to the chicken coop and reached out to grab the fattest and largest old hen inside.
