Although there were many restrictions on women in the Daimyo Dynasty, the requirements were not as strict as those in previous dynasties. Although it was not appropriate for women in the harem to be present when men were talking about business, Han Yu and Deng Tong did not mind, and they were just chatting casually, so Su Wenyue did not avoid it.
People of different levels talk about different topics. Han Yu was a man of ambition, or rather, ambition, so he made friends with Deng Tong. When he was with Deng Tong, most of the topics they talked about were about court and local affairs. Su Wenyue was not actually very interested in these things, but due to her experiences in her previous life, she was not unfamiliar with these contents and could understand them.
Deng Tong did not deliberately observe Su Wenyue. A friend's wife should not be bullied, so he would not do such an offensive thing. However, as they sat at the same table, he could always see Su Wenyue's expressions and reactions. He was surprised to find that Su Wenyue could actually understand what he said and occasionally showed expressions of approval or disapproval. He paid more attention to Su Wenyue and felt that Su Wenyue was no ordinary person, and he respected her more in his heart.
"Miss, Master, we finally found you!" A few people came out of the restaurant and were about to say goodbye when a servant ran over and said hurriedly, with a look of anxiety and joy on his face.
Su Wenyue recognized that this was the servant of the Su family. He was in such a hurry to find them, so he must have something wrong at home. He was also a little anxious: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong at home that made you come to us so anxiously?"
"Don't worry, take your time to talk." Han Yu was also a little worried, but he was calmer than Su Wenyue.
"Miss, son-in-law, something happened to the Han family. Someone from the Han family came and said that the wife of the in-laws was injured by a thief who broke into the house and hit her head. They sent someone to find you and take you back."
Su Wenyue was relieved to hear the servant say that nothing happened to the Su family. However, she remembered that the person was her mother-in-law. Although she didn't have much affection for her, she was Han Yu's biological mother. She became worried again. She turned to look at Han Yu and saw a worried and anxious look on Han Yu's face.
"Did anyone tell me how serious my mother-in-law's injury is? Has she asked a doctor to see her?" Su Wenyue asked the servant.
"I don't know either. The master and the mistress sent me to look for you as soon as they heard the news, so I don't know the exact situation. Master, Miss, you should go back quickly."
After listening to this, Su Wenyue looked at Han Yu and said, "Husband, let's hurry back and ask a doctor to come back. There aren't many good doctors in Xiaohe Village. They can only treat minor illnesses like headaches and fevers. If mother's injury is serious, the doctors in Xiaohe Village may not be able to help. Besides, mother hit her head. No matter what, we have to ask a good doctor to check her out to rest assured."
Han Yu nodded. His wife's treatment was the best. Deng Tong, who had not left yet, also spoke up: "Brother Han, I am familiar with the county town. I know that the doctor at Baoan Hall is a good doctor. I will take you to find him and ask him to go to Xiaohe Village to treat your mother."
Han Yu did not refuse. What he was most concerned about now was his mother's injury. He just wanted to find a doctor and rush back as soon as possible. "Thank you, Brother Deng."
The group hurried back to Xiaohe Village. Fortunately, they came in a horse carriage, which saved them a lot of time on the road. They hurried back to Xiaohe Village in less than an hour.
Han Yu got off the carriage and went home first, and Su Wenyue called for the doctor to follow behind.
"Fourth brother, why did you come back just now? It's been so long. The woman lying on the bed is your own mother. Could it be that you don't care about your mother for the sake of your wife?" Han Lin didn't seem to be that worried. When he saw Han Yu coming back, he finally found the evidence and blamed him sarcastically, accusing Han Yu of being unfilial with every word he said.
Han Yu was really worried about Yang. He ignored Han Lin and looked at Han Hu and Han Ping, anxiously asking about Yang's condition: "Brother, second brother, how is mother? Is she seriously injured?"
Han Lin looked at Han Yu with increasing disdain, "Now you're worried! What were you doing before? If something really happened to mom, it would be too late by the time you come back. It's a pity that mom was so partial to you before. Now you know that you can't be trusted."
Han Yu was angry. It was okay that Han Lin was not very serious on weekdays, but he behaved like this at a time like this. It was obvious that he was not worried about his mother at all.
"Fourth brother, don't worry. Mother just took some medicine and fell asleep. The village doctor said that mother's injury was not too serious. However, it was a head injury after all, and she lost so much blood. His medical skills were limited and he was not so sure. He just told mother to take good care of herself. If she was worried, we had to go to the county town to ask a doctor to see her. But mother herself disagreed, saying that it would cost too much money to go to the city to ask a doctor. We couldn't do that either. Otherwise, we wanted mother to take care of herself like this. If the injury is not healed, we can go to the city to ask a doctor to see her."
Han Hu and Han Ping are both filial, but they listen too much to Yang's words and are a little foolishly filial. They couldn't make up their minds for a while, so they discussed it with Han Yu.
Old Man Han was worried. He was more worried about his wife than his sons. In his heart, he actually wanted to go to the city to hire a doctor for Yang. However, given the situation at home and Yang's opinion, he still had to listen to his sons' opinions.
Han Yu was relieved to learn that Yang was not in danger for the time being. At this time, Su Wenyue also invited the doctor in. The people in the Han family knew that Han Yu came back late because he went to the city to invite a doctor. No wonder it took him so long to come back. According to the distance from the county town to Xinhe Village, if he went to the city to invite a doctor back, it would be considered fast. He must have sped up his journey because he was worried.
Old man Han was pleased to see his son behave like this. He usually felt that Mrs. Han was a little partial to her younger son. As they were both sons, Mrs. Yang always said that Han Yu was promising and responsible. He didn't agree with that in his heart, but now it seems that the old woman does have vision.
Just look at the reactions of the sons to this incident today. Not to mention the third son, he was not worried about his own mother being hurt. He is a heartless man. This son was raised in vain. The eldest son and the second son are filial, but they are of no use at the critical moment. In the end, the decision has to be made by the youngest son.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"Doctor, could you please check my mother's injuries to see if they are serious?"
The doctor at Bao'an Hall diagnosed Yang again and confirmed that she had just lost too much blood and would be fine if she took good care of herself. He simply prescribed two tonic medicines and returned to the city.
After the doctor at Bao'an Hall said so, Han Yu was finally relieved. However, Yang would be fine, so there was another matter that needed to be brought up.
