Chapter 5: It will take at least a year or two to recover
After accepting the memory, Shen Meng didn't say anything for a long time, and didn't hear the original owner's mother's gasps in her ears. She thought she was asleep.
After a while, Shen Fugui came in with an old man. Wang Guizhi saw this and hurriedly gave up her seat.
"Please take a look, this little Meng woke up and fainted immediately. God, if anything happens to my daughter, I will not live." Wang Guizhi cried.
"Look at you, why are you crying again? The doctor is here, don't worry, don't worry!"
Lu Changhong is from Lujia Village. He is the only barefoot doctor in several nearby villages. Because he used to be in the army, everyone is convinced of him.
He walked to the kang and was about to pull Shen Meng's eyelids, when he saw the person on the kang who had just frowned suddenly opened his eyes. Even though he was used to big scenes, he was still shocked by her.
He coughed lightly, then looked at the wound on her head. There were spider webs and pot ash sprinkled on it, and the bleeding had stopped. This was a rural folk remedy to stop bleeding, but it was unhygienic. He took the salt water he brought with him and asked Wang Guizhi to hold Shen Meng's head close to the kang, while he took a ball of cotton cloth and poured some salt water.
Shen Meng looked weakly at the doctor called by Shen Fugui. He wanted to clean her wound without even applying anesthesia. She was so scared that she raised her hand to stop him.
"Ah~ Um!"
This feeling, so sour and refreshing! ! !
Shen Meng grabbed Wang Guizhi's arm suddenly, shaking with pain. She almost threw Wang Guizhi to the ground.
"Ouch, Doctor Lu, why didn't you tell me? I almost couldn't hold her down."
"You can't tell her, Auntie. If you tell her, she will know in her heart, and she will be scared away when I try to hold her down."
Shen Meng: "..."
What she said seemed to make sense.
After Lu Changhong washed the wound, he applied medicine and bandaged it with gauze. The wound was on the corner of the forehead, so he prescribed some anti-inflammatory drugs. He was a doctor recognized by the commune and could get some medicine from the county hospital, but not much. He would consider carefully every time he prescribed. This time, he prescribed six tablets for Shen Meng, also for the sake of his brother Lu Zhenping.
"It's not a big deal. The wound looks scary, but there's no bone injury. Just take good care of it for ten days or half a month. Take one pill of this medicine later and another before going to bed at night. Be careful at night and don't get a fever. If you have a fever, lower the temperature quickly. Call me if the fever can't be reduced."
"Okay, okay, thank you, Doctor Lu. I'm sorry for you today. I'll pay you."
Shen Fugui saw him packing his things and felt his body up and down. He and his wife came out in a hurry and didn't bring anything with them. Not only that, he was relieved to hear that the young lady was fine, but he felt so hungry.
Lu Changhong looked at Shen Fugui and drooped his eyelids lightly.
"It's seventy cents in total. The expensive part is the salt water for washing the wound, the money for the powder and the pills. It's okay if you don't have it now, you can give it to me later."
Wang Guizhi and Shen Fugui were about to thank them when Shen Meng said quickly, "Wait, wait a minute, Mom. Open my cupboard. There is some change in the black cloth bag inside. Please give it to Doctor Lu for me." When
Lu Changhong heard her say that, he didn't refuse. Lu Zhenping was such a good man, but he married such a hypocritical person. It would be fine if she just had beauty, but she was not good to the children. If he and a few aunts in the village hadn't been watching over them, the children would have been bullied to death.
After receiving the money, Lu Changhong left without even glancing at Shen Meng. Shen Meng knew that he had opinions about the original owner, because the three children of Lu Zhenping were actually the descendants of martyrs. Their mothers either ran away, remarried, or died, and lived a miserable life in their original homes.
Lu Zhenping could not bear it and adopted them into his own hands, but he did not expect to send the children from one hell to another.
"Doctor Lu, wait a moment, Doctor Lu, please, if my mother-in-law asks you about my health, please tell her and tell her that I am seriously injured and cannot get out of bed without resting for half a year. Thank you."
Lu Changhong: "..."
Haha, he knew that this woman wanted to use this wound to avoid trouble. Who knows how she will enslave the children to work like her slaves in the future!
"Wife Zhenping, I shouldn't interfere in your family affairs, but Zhenping and I grew up together, and the Mingyang children are also poor people. Can you please be kind and treat them better?" At least don't hit them anymore.
Lu Changhong didn't dare to say the following words, for he was afraid of angering Shen Meng and causing her to abuse the children behind his back. After all, Shen Meng was the mother of several children, and he, as an outsider, couldn't extend his hand too far.
"Doctor Lu, I call you Brother Changhong, don't worry, I have thought it through after this incident, and from now on I will be good to Mingyang's children, I promise, if you don't believe me, you can, you can supervise me." Shen Meng's head still hurt, and after saying these words, a thin layer of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.
Lu Changhong looked at Shen Meng steadily, and for some reason, he knew at a glance that this person had many ideas, but today he gave people a very different feeling.
He didn't say whether he believed it or not, he just turned around and walked out.
After he went out, he saw Liu Sanjin being held by Zhou Jiaojiao, who was obviously waiting for him.
Liu Sanjin asked nervously and distressedly, "Changhong, how is the eldest daughter?"
Lu Changhong, who was about to say it was no big deal, didn't know why he remembered what Shen Meng had asked him just now. For the sake of the poor children, he believed her once.
"Auntie, Zhenping's wife is not in good condition. If I hadn't come in time, she would have almost died. I washed her wounds and prescribed medicine. Whether she lives or dies depends on her luck. But even if she is fine, it will take a year or so before she can get out of bed. You should be prepared!"
After he finished speaking, he picked up his things and walked out. Liu Sanjin and Zhou Jiaojiao behind him turned pale. When Shen Meng was sent back before, they acted like good people and said that Shen Meng was fine, just fainted and would wake up soon.
If Shen Meng is really dead, the neighbors all know that their family did not hire a doctor. Wouldn't it be a reputation that their family deliberately refused to treat their daughter-in-law and killed her? How can they
hold their heads up in Lujia Village in the future!
Liu Sanjin grabbed Zhou Jiaojiao, who was supporting him, and grabbed her arm and scolded her.
"You short-sighted little bitch, you damn bitch, didn't you say you were fine? The reputation of my Lu family is going to be ruined in your hands. I will let my son divorce you."
