Chapter 134 Broken Leg
The once famous business celebrity in Shanghai is now just an old man sleeping on a tattered bed.
Jiang Jinshan looked even older than his wife because he was ill and had accidentally broken his leg while working not long ago.
People of his age have a greatly reduced ability to recover and it is difficult for them to heal after breaking a bone. In addition, the medical conditions in the village are backward and their family is poor. They don’t even have any nutritional supplements to replenish their bodies. How can they recover?
Jiang Tang walked into the room and became anxious from the moment he saw Jiang Jinshan.
She called out, "Dad," and then hurriedly asked, "Brother, Mom, what's wrong with Dad? Why does he look so bad?"
Jiang Jinshan's eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Tang. He seemed to be an old man without any vitality a moment ago, but suddenly he burst out with energy and looked at Jiang Tang in disbelief.
"Is it Tangtang? It's really Tangtang, why are you here?"
"Dad." Jiang Tang quickly walked to Jiang Jinshan's side, sat down beside the bed, and held Jiang Jinshan's trembling hand tightly. "Dad, I'm Tangtang. I'm here to see you. What's wrong with you? Are you sick?"
Jiang Jinshan pulled himself together and said, "I'm fine. It was just raining the past few days, and the weather changed drastically. I didn't dress properly in time, so I caught a cold. I'll be fine after a few days of rest. Let me see how our Tangtang is doing now."
Jiang Jinshan's shining eyes were exactly the same as Jiang's mother's, looking back and forth at Jiang Tang.
As soon as Jiang Tang heard Jiang Jinshan's words, he knew that Jiang Jinshan was lying. If it was just a minor cold, his face would definitely not be so pale.
Also, during the previous quarrel in front of the commune, Chen Taohua mentioned that she had sent ten kilograms of rice. According to Jiang Tang's observation, given the seemingly polite and friendly relationship between Jiang Chengzhou and Chen Taohua, Jiang Chengzhou would not accept Chen Taohua's help for no reason. He was very arrogant and self-respecting in his bones.
Unless... it was the situation in this family that forced Jiang Chengzhou to accept Chen Taohua's kindness.
Jiang Tang looked around the house carefully again. It could be described as bare and extremely poor.
She looked at Jiang Chengzhou, "Brother, tell me, what happened to Dad? Don't lie to me. Is Dad seriously ill? Don't treat me like an ignorant little girl anymore. I've been through so much over the years and I understand a lot. If you don't tell me the truth, I'll only be more worried and uneasy."
Jiang Chengzhou and Jiang's parents looked at each other for a few seconds, and finally nodded helplessly.
"Tangtang has grown up, we can't lie to her anymore."
Jiang's mother sighed and felt relieved, then slowly opened her mouth and explained why Jiang Jinshan broke his leg. It was an accident, and also because their family was in a bad situation in the village. Because of their background, many villagers did not like them, and those people were secretly trying to do bad things.
Jiang's mother sighed, "...Luckily, Taohua is still willing to interact with our family, otherwise our situation in the village would only be worse."
After hearing this, Jiang Tang became nervous and worried.
She pressed on, "Has Dad seen a doctor for his leg?"
Jiang's mother said, "Your brother carried him to the next village to see the village doctor. He's been bandaged and fixed, and he's been recuperating in bed for over half a month. He's just old, so he's healing slowly. Tangtang, don't worry, this is normal. In another ten days or half a month, your father will be able to get out of bed and walk again."
Jiang Jinshan nodded repeatedly, "My bones are strong, and I'm fine. I'll definitely be fine after a while!"
Jiang Tang was comforted by his family and couldn't help but tear up again.
She suddenly said, "Dad, Mom, Big Brother, wait a moment, I'm going out for a while."
After saying that, Jiang Tang didn't wait for others' reaction, he suddenly walked out of the house and rushed out.
Jiang's mother quickly reminded Jiang Chengzhou, "Chengzhou, go out and check. Don't let Tangtang get lost. The village is noisy today. It would be bad if something happens."
Jiang Chengzhou immediately went out to see Jiang Tang.
But when he came out, Jiang Tang was nowhere to be seen. He had already disappeared without a trace.
At this time, Jiang Tang found a remote location and then entered the Lingbao space.
"Rice, yes! Flour, yes! White sugar, yes! Pork, yes! ... And a cotton quilt, please! A few sets of clothes! ... Medicine! Anti-inflammatory medicine, cold medicine, gastrointestinal medicine... Forget it, take them all, at least it's better to be prepared."
In addition, Jiang Tang also opened the treasure chest in the small attic in the Lingbao space.
The box was not only full of gold, silver and treasures, but also some Chinese herbal medicines.
She didn't know much about medicinal herbs, but she knew about ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, deer antlers... these things that can nourish the body.
If you take too much, you will be suspected, so start with a ginseng, and then add some astragalus for replenishing qi, and put them together just right.
When Jiang Tang opened her eyes again, there were three sacks full of things in front of her, and she was holding them in her hands.
Later on the way, Jiang Tang met Jiang Chengzhou who came to look for him.
Jiang Chengzhou saw Jiang Tang holding a bunch of things and hurried over to help, "Tangtang, where did you get all these things?"
"Brother, these are all good things. Let's go back first and see our parents, then I'll explain." Jiang Tang said.
So, after a while, they returned to their poor house again.
Jiang Tang was surrounded by his family and said with a smile, "Dad, Mom, Big Brother, look, these are edible... these are things you can wear and use... and these are all Chinese medicinal herbs that nourish your body. You can use them to make tea."
When Jiang's father, Jiang's mother, and Jiang Chengzhou saw these things, they were stunned.
Jiang's mother reacted quickly, subconsciously walked out to take a look outside the house, and then quickly closed the door.
Jiang Chengzhou frowned and asked solemnly, "Tangtang, where did you get so many things? How much do they cost?"
From grain to cotton, all are in short supply, not to mention such a large ginseng. If seen by others, they will immediately report it to the village party secretary out of jealousy, and the Jiang family's situation will become even worse, and Jiang Tang may even be dragged down.
Jiang Tang quickly explained, "Dad, Mom, and Big Brother, don't be nervous. These things were all obtained honestly. There's nothing wrong with them. They're just a small token of appreciation from me... Fu Sinian and I. Fu Sinian is the group leader now, and I get his monthly salary and allowances. I can afford these things."
When Fu Sinian was mentioned, Jiang Chengzhou and Jiang's father and mother's expressions relaxed.
Jiang Jinshan glanced at Jiang's mother with urging in his eyes.
Jiang's mother hesitated for a moment, then took Jiang Tang's hand and asked, "Tangtang, your parents went to the countryside early and didn't see you get married. We haven't been able to contact you all these years, and we haven't had the chance to ask you, are you and Fu Sinian doing well after getting married?"
