Grandma Ma's family, old lady Ma gave birth to six children in total, but only three survived.
The eldest is Ma Kui, the second is Ma Shuan, and the youngest is a daughter, Ma Xiu Lian.
After Ma Xiulian got married, her eldest uncle and second uncle's families separated and lived separately.
The second uncle was a clever, sweet-talker and manipulative man, and he married the daughter of a village secretary.
But it's just marrying, which is no different from marrying someone.
The second uncle lived with the daughter's family, and his first son took the daughter's surname, so he usually wouldn't come to Old Madam Ma's house.
The two old men were living with their eldest uncle Ma Kui. This time they came to visit their father and bumped into him.
My eldest uncle had three sons and one daughter: the eldest Ma Chengdong, the second Ma Chengxi, the third Ma Chengbei, and the youngest Ma Chengxue.
Ma Chengdong is married to Su Bofen and has a son and a daughter. The son is twelve years old and the daughter is eight years old.
Ma Chengxi married Ma Lanhua and had a son.
Ma Chengbei moved to the next village and rarely went home.
As for Ma Chengxue being able to visit her mother's home, that was...
Ma Xiulian hurried to see her father. Looking at the old man sitting on the kang with a pale face, Ma Xiulian's tears fell down.
Her father was such an energetic person, but she hadn't seen him for a year. How come he became so lifeless, as if he had been beaten and made angry?
"Come back, little boy! You're always crying in front of your grandma. Don't be afraid of being laughed at. Daddy is fine." The old man said with the corner of his mouth.
"What do you mean nothing? Dad, why didn't you let my family send me a message? What if..." Ma Xiu Lian complained and turned to ask Ma Chengdong.
"Brother! What did the doctor say about Dad's leg? Tell me the truth."
"Dad broke his leg and was supposed to be hospitalized for surgery, but when he heard that hospitalization would cost a lot of money, he insisted on going to the hospital. It's my eldest brother who is useless and can't afford so much money for Dad's surgery." Ma Kui said as he squatted on the ground, holding his head with both hands, burying his head in his knees.
Ma Xiulian calmed down and asked, "How much will the surgery cost?"
"The doctor said that Dad's leg is broken and needs to be repositioned and put in a cast. He also needs regular checkups. Dad is old and his bones are brittle, so it may be difficult for him to recover in the later stages. He needs to take good care of himself. All in all, it will cost more than a hundred dollars."
As Ma Kui spoke, his face turned pale.
Not to mention more than a hundred, the whole family's money combined can't even come up with a hundred yuan.
Not to mention, there is a whole family waiting to be fed and drunk, I really feel helpless.
100 bucks!
Ma Xiulian remained silent.
She did have some money, but she had a family to support, and if she really wanted to use the money to treat her father, it would be very costly.
What's more, there is still an unmarried old man in the family, and the money must be saved for marrying a daughter-in-law, so it cannot be touched.
At this time, Cheng Yunan took the initiative to walk forward a few steps and said, "Mom, how about... I help grandpa first."
Ma Xiulian slapped her thigh and said, "Yes, yes, yes, look at me, I forgot about you when I was worried.
Nan Nan, come here quickly, let me introduce you, this is your grandpa, this is your eldest uncle, your second uncle, and this is your eldest uncle's cousin Xiaoxue. "
Ma Xiulian continued, "Dad, Mom, Big Brother, Second Brother, this is my third son's new wife. You can just call her Nan Nan."
Everyone had noticed her just now, but because Ma Xiulian didn't speak, they couldn't be sure of her identity.
After all, Cheng Yunan doesn't look big, and is similar to Lu Jianshe, so I'm afraid of confusing them.
Knowing that she was Lu Shiye's daughter-in-law, the old lady said yes in a loud voice.
It was mainly because of the third grandson's face and temperament, which were cold enough to scare away most women.
Unfortunately, I am the most capable one in the family, and I am already 26 years old and still single.
Now, he has married a beautiful wife who speaks well and has a temperament that is obviously not from the countryside.
Her three grandsons, apart from not being good-looking and speaking in a cold tone, are actually quite worth talking about.
The old lady was so happy to marry such a beautiful grandson-in-law.
"Grandpa, grandma, uncle, second uncle, cousin, hello! I am Cheng Yunan, Lu Shiye's daughter-in-law." Cheng Yunan was generous and generous, which made everyone in the Ma family have a good impression of her.
"Little sister! When is Xiaoye getting married? Why didn't you inform our family?"
"It won't be long, just about a month. You know, Xiao Ye rarely comes back and the vacation is not long. I thought I would come to see you next time I come back, so I didn't notify you.
Nan Nan is an educated youth from the city. She had learned medical skills from a local doctor and is very capable. Let her help Dad first.
If that doesn’t work, we’ll go to town again.”
"Really? Nan Nan also knows medicine?"
It's not that we are suspicious, it's mainly because this girl looks too young and doesn't seem to know any medical information.
For example, old man Liu, the barefoot doctor in our village, has a huge beard and walks with his back hunched.
When the old man had the problem, he immediately asked old man Liu to take a look, but there was nothing he could do.
Well, let's try our best. Things are already like this, and they can't get any worse.
“Cheng girl, grandpa’s legs look ugly. If you’re scared…” Old man Ma moved a little and covered his legs with the blanket.
The truth was that a hungry wolf had torn off a large piece of his flesh, which was white, and he was afraid that it would scare the little girl.
Cheng Yunan smiled faintly, "It's okay, Grandpa, I'm a doctor, I've seen injuries more serious than yours, I won't be scared, just let go, I'll open your wound."
Cheng Yunan smiled gently, with a hint of temptation, and Old Man Ma unconsciously loosened his hand.
It is the beginning of August now. Although the weather is not that hot anymore, the old man has been lying on the kang for the past few days. He dared not let others see his wound, so it has become a little inflamed and there is a strong smell of blood.
Cheng Yunan lifted the blanket. The smell was a bit pungent, but her expression remained unchanged.
After removing the bandage on his leg, the old man's leg injury was completely exposed.
There was a large tear on the side of the calf bone, and the whole leg was severely swollen, with some redness around it.
Most importantly, the calf shaft is significantly deformed.
When Cheng Yunan saw the injury, a solemn look appeared on his face.
"Grandpa, let me take your pulse first."
Cheng Yunan motioned for the old man to stretch out his hand and press his fingers on the pulse for a few minutes before withdrawing his hand.
"Uncle, go outside and find two splints and sticks to fix his legs first. Uncle, go to the village to borrow a bullock cart. Mom, we have to take grandpa to the hospital today.
The wound is inflamed and Grandpa has started to have a fever. If he is delayed, not only will his leg be lost, but it may be even more dangerous. "
"What?! Nan Nan, are you serious? Is your grandpa's leg injury really that serious?" Ma Xiu Lian thought, Dad is almost ten years old, it doesn't matter if he is lame, at most he has difficulty walking.
But I didn't expect it to be so serious, even serious enough to cost my life.
"Well, I think grandpa's leg bone is broken, and there are also wounds from being bitten by a wolf. The wounds were not treated in time, and the bandages were not changed in time, so they have become swollen and inflamed.
Grandpa, does your wound hurt a lot? Especially at night! "
Before the old man even opened his mouth, the old lady nodded vigorously, "That's right, my child, you are really a miracle. Your grandpa often groans in pain in the middle of the night."
"My dear wife, can you heal your grandpa's leg?"
This way we don't have to go to the hospital, which, after all, costs a lot of money.
And we are really poor.
