Ning Jing followed behind Tan Dingguo and Tan Qingshan for more than an hour before finally reaching the town.
When she sat down on the wooden bench in the health center, she felt as if her legs had lost all feeling.
Seeing Tan Dingguo and Tan Qingshan working without even breaking a sweat, Ning Jing felt a deep sense of admiration.
There was only one doctor in the clinic, who was nearly sixty years old. He wore glasses with the temples and frames glued together with white tape, and then a strap was tied to each temple, which he hung in front of his chest.
They didn't seem flustered at all when they saw someone carrying a child in.
He slowly stepped forward, gestured to place the person on a table, and then put on his glasses and squinted to examine them.
He touched it a couple of times, then stood up straight and said, "This child's arm is dislocated."
After saying that, he pointed towards Ning Jing, who was still covered in sweat, and asked Tie Dan curiously, "Who's that?"
Tie Dan had been carried on Tan Qingshan's back. Although he didn't have to walk on his own, he couldn't move his arms at all, and the pain made him pale.
He's still very nervous when he sees the doctor.
Unexpectedly, the doctor asked about his sister-in-law. He was taken aback at first, then replied, "That's my sister-in-law... ah..."
Before he could finish speaking, the old doctor lifted and pressed his arm, and after a moment of pain, Tie Dan was surprised to find that he could move his arm again.
"Hey, don't move around."
It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone, but this dislocation was caused by human intervention.
There are still bruises on my arm, I need to apply medicated wine to disperse the blood stasis.
Also, it must be strapped and secured to the chest; you can only pick up things and move around after it's healed.
The old doctor frowned and turned to give instructions to Tan Dingguo.
Ning Jing didn't expect that it would be over before she could even catch her breath.
Tan Dingguo and Tan Qingshan, however, looked completely at ease. They took the prescription from the old doctor and went to pay the fees first.
"Doctor, thank you!"
Ning Jing took a deep breath, calmed her breathing, and thanked the old doctor.
The old doctor glanced at her, ignored her, and continued to bandage Tie Dan.
She waited for Tan Dingguo to come out of the clinic with the ointment and the bandaged Tiedan; it only took about ten minutes.
"Village chief, thank you so much!"
Don't worry, I'll pay you back for the treatment and medication as soon as I get the money.
Ning Jing said to Tan Dingguo with a sincere expression.
Tan Dingguo felt a slight pang in his heart after hearing this.
Where would a woman like her get the money?
If you're talking about having money, it's the money your family spent on buying recruitment quotas from her family.
"Alright, that's 80 cents. Your family isn't well-off either."
Now that we have money, let's buy some good stuff for Tiedan!
But when he thought of Ning Jing suddenly becoming a woman and child, he sighed, waved his hand, and said indifferently.
80 cents?
Ning Jing's face stiffened slightly, as if she only ever saw these small amounts of money, like a few cents or dimes, when she was grabbing red envelopes on WeChat and QQ.
However, after going to the fields today, she learned a lot of information while chatting with Sister Guihua.
For example, nowadays, 1 work point is worth 9 cents. An adult laborer would earn about 90 cents a day.
This 80 cents is equivalent to a normal day's wages for a manual laborer.
Although the village chief said not to worry about it, Ning Jing wouldn't listen.
However, the money hasn't been received yet, so there's no point in saying anything more.
Therefore, Ning Jing did not refute the village chief's words, but simply smiled and said nothing.
