At this point, Widow Zhou had no choice but to do as she was told.
Two logs of similar length and thickness were found nearby, and Qin Mosheng's arms were secured with a thin hemp rope.
Qin Mosheng's arms, especially his ankles, were swollen badly. When he was being fixed, he first woke up from the pain and then fainted again, suffering terribly.
Qin Mosheng was unconscious, and some kind villagers lent them a cart to push him.
Qin Mosheng was the only man in the Qin family. When he fell down, only Qin Wanru and Widow Song could push him.
Wang Laosi wanted to help, but Zhang Fengxi's look stopped him in his tracks and he had to give up.
Later, Qin Wanru was so tired that she discussed with Widow Song to stop and rest.
Just as he took a few breaths, Wang Yongchang, the son of Wang Laowu, a wealthy man in the village, came over.
Wang Yongchang's family is richer than most villagers, and his family has the most grain.
But Wang Yongchang was a lustful person. He was always teasing people in the village. Even after he got married, he still coveted Qin Wanru's beauty.
Qin Wanru always avoided him when she saw him, and now she tried to avoid him even more when she saw him coming.
"Mom, let's go."
Widow Song was also very disgusted when she saw Wang Yongchang. Who dared to covet her daughter? Her daughter was going to marry a high-ranking official in the future. How could they, the villagers, get involved in her?
She rolled her eyes at Wang Yongchang and brushed off the dust on her trouser legs. "Let's go."
"Hey, don't be busy yet."
Wang Yongchang came over with a playful smile, "Aunt Song, look at this Mo Sheng brother, he broke his arm and will be half disabled from now on. You can't live without a man in your family."
“…”
Su Man, who had been deliberately walking slower to listen to the noise behind her, almost burst out laughing when she heard what Wang Yongchang said.
This Wang Yongchang knows how to chat.
As expected, Widow Song was already upset because of Qin Mosheng's injury, and Wang Yongchang's nagging almost made her die of anger. "What nonsense are you talking about! My Mosheng only suffered a minor injury. He can be cured once we find a doctor! He will still pass the imperial examination and become the top scorer!"
Wang Yongchang remained unfazed by the criticism and said with a smile, "Seeing a doctor and buying medicine all cost money. Buying medicine in peacetime is not a small sum, let alone in this famine. Even if you see a doctor, do you have the money?"
Wang Yongchang's words stumped Widow Song. Yes, they had no money!
Before fleeing the famine, they had already spent a lot of money on buying food and clothing. All their family savings were just a few coins, which was a drop in the bucket.
Seeing that Widow Song was speechless, Wang Yongchang turned his gaze to Qin Wanru, "What's more, you don't even have any food now. I'm afraid you will starve to death before you see a doctor."
"What do you want?" Widow Song said angrily.
"What can I do? I just want to help you. So, as long as you marry Wanru to me, I will take care of your food and Brother Mosheng's medical expenses."
