When the old man went in, he saw Doctor Li applying medicine to Da Niu.
Xu Daniu's calf had changed color, turning purple and black, and was swollen several times. It was obvious that it had been hit by a heavy object.
The old man quickly asked, "Doctor Li, how is this big cow leg?"
Doctor Li said, "It's quite serious. The calf bone is fractured. He needs to be taken good care of."
The old man said, "Doctor Li, no matter what medicine you use, please make sure to cure Daniu's leg. We will pay for it!"
Xu Daniu's face was distorted with pain, and beads of sweat were dripping down his face. Hearing the old man's words, he said with some difficulty: "Uncle, I... I'm fine, it just hurts a little."
The old man said, "Silly child, can you call this a little painful? The bones are all broken. From now on, you should just stay at home and take care of your leg. Don't leave any sequelae!"
Doctor Li said, "The old man is right. Danniu, you can't move your legs easily. I'll go back and get you some medicine. You must drink it on time every day. It will be good for your bone healing."
Xu Daniu said: "As for the construction site..."
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by the old man: "You kid, what has become of you? Why are you still thinking about working? Listen to your uncle and take good care of yourself at home. I will arrange for someone to bring you bone soup every day to nourish you."
Xu Daniu said, "Uncle, it's not a problem. I'm young and I recover quickly. There's no need to drink bone soup every day. I just need to take care of myself."
Da Niu's mother looked at the beads of sweat falling from her son's face with heartache, picked up her sleeves and began to wipe the sweat off her son's face.
The old man said, "Sister, I'm so sorry. If it weren't for Daniu helping my family with the work, I wouldn't have suffered this. But don't worry, all the medicine for Daniu's leg will be paid for by our family."
Da Niu's mother wiped her tears and said, "Brother Xu, although I feel sorry for my son, I'm not the kind of unreasonable person. He was just being stubborn and insisted on carrying the tree trunk by himself. We can still afford the medical treatment. Your family is busy right now, so I'll take care of Da Niu."
The old man said, "Sister, you can't say that. Our family is also responsible for this matter. There is no need to say anything. Just do as I say. I will pay the wages as usual. Just take good care of your injuries."
Mother Da Niu was grateful and said, "Thank you so much, Brother Xu!"
The old man said, "I'm afraid it's a bit hard for you to take care of him alone. I'll have someone call Da Niu's wife back from the winery later. She can go back to work until Da Niu's leg injury is healed. Don't worry, you will get every penny of her wages."
Xu Daniu said, "Uncle, this is not right. You can't get paid without doing any work. This is not right."
The old man said, "What's wrong with that? Didn't you say before that no matter what decision I make, you'll listen to me?"
Xu Daniu was speechless.
Doctor Li said, "It takes a hundred days for a broken bone to heal. Danniu, if you can stay still, don't move. Otherwise, the bone will become crooked and it will be bad. I'll use a wooden frame to fix your calf later."
Big Cow’s mother said, “Please excuse me, Doctor Li.”
Doctor Li waved his hand and said, "I came in a hurry. I'll go back and get what I need. I'll be back soon."
The old man said, "Doctor Li must use the best medicine. No matter how much it costs, as long as Daniu's leg can be healed."
Doctor Li nodded and went out with his medicine box on his back.
The old man said, "I'll go back and ask my family to make some bone soup."
Big Cow's mother said gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Xu."
The old man left the house, and the villagers were still gathered at the door of Xu Daniu's house. Seeing the old man come out, Chunsheng asked, "Uncle, how is Daniu? Doctor Li just rushed out in a hurry and didn't have time to say a word. Everyone is worried!"
The old man said, "Doctor Li said it's quite serious. Danniu can't move for a while and needs to be taken care of."
When everyone heard that it was serious, they began to worry.
Seeing this, the old man comforted him, "Don't worry, everyone. I have asked Doctor Li to use the best medicine. You will recover if you take good care of yourself."
Everyone was relieved.
The old man then spoke again: "One more thing. I will continue to pay Danniu's wages while he recovers from his injury. Is that okay with everyone?"
"Uncle! What are you talking about? Daniel is already like this. If we still have opinions, we are still human beings!"
"Yeah, uncle, what can we object to? Daniu has suffered so much. When I carried him back just now, his leg was covered in bruises. It hurt just looking at it!"
The old man nodded and said, "I'll go back and ask my family to make some bone soup and send it over for Daniu. You all should go and get busy. Standing here won't help."
"Okay, since Daniu is fine, let's get back to work."
The crowd then dispersed and continued to do their unfinished work.
The old man returned home and told his family what happened.
Wang said anxiously: "No, I have to go and see."
The old man said, "Let's stew the soup first. It won't be too late to go later. Old man, go to the winery and call Da Niu's wife back. Da Niu's mother alone can't take care of it."
"Okay, Dad, I'll go right away." After saying that, Zhang went out with Qiaozhu by her side.
Wang arranged for Jin Po to go to the kitchen to stew some bone soup, and she went to the box in the room and took out a ginseng that Qibao had given her, cut it into two slices, and planned to stew it together with the bone soup to replenish Da Niu's vitality.
After Qibao finished her embroidery lessons and returned home with Mrs. Qian, she saw that her grandparents looked strange, and knew something must have happened. So she asked, "Grandpa, what happened?"
