Chapter 461 The Prodigal Girl
The woman helped Old Sheephead into the house and laid him down. She took off his clothes and found that blood was oozing from his shoulder blade and his entire arm was completely stained red with blood.
Fubao also came in to help and happened to see the old sheep's wound.
Without saying a word, she turned and ran out.
She remembered that the golden wound medicine in her father's carriage seemed to have not been used up, so she could give it to her uncle.
But she couldn't get out because the door had been locked from the inside by the woman. She was small and couldn't reach the bolt, and even if she could, she couldn't pull it.
"Dad, please come and help me. I need to get some medicine for my uncle. He is injured."
When Wan Laoer heard this, he felt so heartbroken that his heart was bleeding. This spendthrift girl took everything away. That was golden medicine for wounds, and one bottle cost him five taels of silver. This girl really didn't know how expensive firewood and rice were if she didn't manage the household.
Now their business has not been completed yet, and they have to pay five taels of silver. This business is a loss-making business no matter how you look at it, but his daughter has already cried out, what can he say? He can only spoil his own daughter.
Wan Laoer helped Fubao open the door and followed Fubao to the carriage outside.
Wan Laoer carried Fubao onto the carriage. Fubao ran into the carriage and took out the golden wound medicine that he had just put into the secret compartment.
Jia Yanbing looked at Fubao's impetuous appearance and was a little surprised, "Girl, what are you doing?"
"Sir, a thief broke into uncle's house. Uncle was injured in the shoulder by the thief and lost a lot of blood. If he is not rescued, he will die. Fubao wants to send medicine to uncle."
After Fubao finished speaking, she turned around and ran out of the carriage without waiting for Jia Yanbing to continue asking questions. Wan Laoer was waiting for Fubao beside the carriage. As soon as the little girl came out, he took her away.
When Jia Yanbing lifted the car curtain and looked out, the father and daughter had already entered the yard.
Wan Laoer turned Fubao over to the ground and let her go in by herself. He also had to guard the gate of the yard. There were flocks of sheep wandering around everywhere in the yard, and he had to be careful not to let them run away.
He is a farmer and can understand Old Sheephead's feelings best. It's the same principle as when he grows crops. If someone comes to steal his food, he will fight to the death.
These sheep are the old sheephead’s food, and they even cost more than growing crops.
Wan Laoer was guarding the door while preventing the thief from waking up and running away. In fact, it would have been best to tie him up while he was unconscious, but Wan Laoer was not familiar with Lao Yangtou'er's house, and it was not convenient for him to walk around in someone else's house, so he could only keep a close eye on the thief.
Fubao rushed into the house like a gust of wind.
"Uncle, aunt, I brought the medicine for wounds." Fu Bao's voice was already heard at the door before he entered the house.
When she ran into the house, sweating profusely, the woman had already stood up and came out to greet her.
"Aunt, hurry up and apply it on uncle. This is the golden wound medicine my father bought at the clinic. It works. After my husband used it, the bleeding stopped."
The woman took it with many thanks and didn't care about anything else at this point. She was about to give the old sheephead the medicine.
The old sheep was still conscious and heard the conversation between the two. When he saw his wife was about to give him medicine, he quickly stopped her and said, "No, this medicine is expensive and we can't afford it. Just go to the kitchen and get me some firewood ash (wood ash) to sprinkle on it. Our folk remedy is just as good for stopping bleeding. We can't owe others any more favors."
The woman did not know the value of this golden wound medicine. She had only heard that this medicine was good at stopping bleeding.
"Dad, what time is it now? Are you still concerned about this? At worst, we can buy it with money. Is your life more important or money?"
The woman said with some distress.
"We can't afford it. We can't afford it. This small bottle costs five taels of silver. How can our family have that much spare money? You should give it back to the child." The old sheephead refused to apply it no matter what.
The woman's excited face immediately changed color at this moment, "What? This thing is so expensive? It's only a little bit, and it costs five taels of silver?"
There was a bloody hole in the old sheep head's shoulder blade caused by the dagger. He had lost too much blood and was breathing heavily when he spoke.
The woman felt very distressed when she saw the man's appearance, but her family did not have that much money. It would be unreasonable for her to use his medicine without paying him.
Fubao had been staring at the woman and Old Sheephead, and heard their conversation. She became a little anxious. No matter how good the medicine was, it was to be used by people. Otherwise, what was the point of making it?
Fubao doesn't care about money. In her eyes, nothing is more important than human life.
She stood on tiptoe to snatch the porcelain vase from the woman's hand. She glanced and saw a small stool next to her. She turned around swiftly and dragged the stool to the edge of the kang.
Just like at home, she stepped on a stool and got onto the kang.
The woman was dumbfounded. What did this girl want to do?
Fubao didn't even take off her shoes. She lay down beside the old sheep head, unplugged the porcelain bottle, and sprinkled the medicine powder on the old sheep head's wound.
By the time the woman reacted, it was too late. Fubao had already completed the application of the medicine, and the medicine could not be taken back once it was poured out.
"Hey, girl, what are you doing? This medicine is so precious, why are you going through so much trouble? How can you use so much?"
The woman felt so distressed that her first reaction was to reach out and pick up the excess powder.
But when she stretched her hand halfway, she realized that her action was unnecessary. How could she possibly collect the powder?
The woman was so anxious that she slapped her thigh, but Fubao breathed a sigh of relief. She wiped the sweat from her forehead with her little hands and looked at the old sheephead with her big, bright eyes.
"Uncle, my husband said that money is earned by people. If you are dead, what's the point of having money? No matter how expensive this medicine is, it is not as valuable as your life. If you die, what will happen to your aunt?"
Fubao thought of her own parents when she saw the couple. If her father was gone, her mother would definitely be very sad, so she thought that if Old Sheephead died, her aunt would definitely be very sad too.
The woman stood under the kang and wiped away her tears. Even children could understand such a simple truth, but the adults were obsessed with money. Well, since the medicine had been used, they should stop being pretentious. Even if they had no money, they still had the sheep.
The tough guy, Old Sheephead, also started crying at this time. He lay on the kang and sighed.
"Girl, uncle is sorry for you. I scolded you just now. You don't blame uncle, right?"
Fu Bao immediately shook his head with a smile, but then put on a serious face, "Uncle, next time don't say this to others, if that person is petty, you will become enemies."
Fubao's serious sermon made the woman burst out laughing.
"Well, the girl is right. I really should change my temper, or I will fall flat on my face."
The old sheep also came to terms with it.
"By the way, where is the thief? How did he do it? Mother, please go out and check. I'm fine now. The bleeding has stopped. Please don't let the guests get hurt."
The old sheephead quickly asked the woman to go out and help.
