Chapter 218 The Crutch



"That's true, you can cook a dish for us to try occasionally."

Wei Yuyan nodded, "I couldn't stand eating this much sweet food every day."

After finishing her meal, Wei Yuyan went to sleep. She was so tired; sleeping after a good meal was the happiest thing.

"Sir, you said before that your wife worked hard, so why didn't you agree to let me cook?"

Leng Feng looked at Wu Chen with a puzzled expression.

"I don't like the food you cook, I just want to eat what she cooks."

Wu Chen felt that being able to eat Wei Yuyan's cooking was a kind of happiness in itself; if he couldn't eat it, he would probably feel uncomfortable all over.

After washing the dishes, Leng Feng went to the new house in the afternoon to clean it, wiping everything down, including the furniture and floors.

"Cold Wind, go to town and buy some meat tomorrow morning. We'll treat everyone to lunch tomorrow."

Tomorrow is the last day of the month, a day for family gatherings and payday.

"good".

Leng Feng swallowed the food in his mouth before replying.

"Who should we invite?"

Wu Chen looked at Wei Yuyan.

"The two brothers, Li Fu and Li Cai, who work for me, are helping me. Their whole family is here."

There are twelve people in total, big and small. Let's just have two tables tomorrow.

Wei Yuyan thought about how tomorrow would be another lively day, and it would also be the last time they would have a meal together in this small courtyard.

Next time, it will be in a new house.

"Li Cai and his wife are also good, honest and hardworking."

Wu Chen nodded, looked at his legs, and realized that his legs were in the way and he couldn't do anything.

How can I improve Yu Yan's feelings for me? I'm so annoyed by this sick leg.

"Well, I don't know anyone else in the village anyway, and I can't think of anyone suitable to help me."

Wei Yuyan began to consider the suggestion Wu Chen had made last time: to buy someone who would be loyal and wouldn't cost much.

"Leng Feng, let me go with you tomorrow to the clinic to get your leg injury checked."

Wu Chen wanted to see a doctor to see how his leg could recover quickly, and whether he needed to take medicine or apply ointment.

After Wu Chen finished speaking, Xiao Lei, Qian Qian, and Wei Yu Yan all looked at his legs simultaneously.

In the two or three days since he returned home, all we know is that he injured his leg, but we don't know what kind of injury it is, whether it's internal or external.

Only the cold wind kept nagging, telling him to stand less and so on.

"Brother, how about I go with you tomorrow?"

Xiao Lei wanted to see how his older brother's leg was, and how serious it was.

"No need, you're going to school tomorrow, just see a doctor."

Wu Chen patted Xiao Lei's head.

The next morning, Wei Yuyan cooked noodles. It had been a long time since she had noodles, so she made a simple vegetable and egg noodle dish.

Everyone enjoyed the meal, especially Wu Chen, who ate two bowls.

"Yu Yan, what have you thought about that thing we talked about before?"

"Should we go to the human slave dealers and see if they have any suitable candidates?"

Before leaving, Wu Chen asked again.

"Forget it, let's talk about it next year."

Wei Yuyan thought it was already December, and her brother-in-law would be arriving soon, so she decided to just make do for now.

I'll go back to the human slave dealer after the New Year next year to see if there are any suitable candidates.

"Did you tell Leng Feng how much meat you wanted to buy?"

Wu Chen asked again.

"Yes, I've explained it."

Wei Yuyan nodded. She had already given instructions when she cooked noodles that morning.

Leng Feng led Wu Chen to the town and they went to the market to buy meat first.

"Boss, I'd like two pounds of pig's trotters, four pounds of pork belly, and three pounds of spare ribs."

Leng Feng went to buy meat as Wei Yuyan had instructed.

"Eighty-eight coins".

The butcher quickly chopped up the ribs and pig's trotters and wrapped them in oil paper.

Wu Chen then tossed his purse to Leng Feng to pay.

"Sir, shall we go to the clinic now?"

Leng Feng placed the meat on the carriage and asked Wu Chen if there was anything else he needed to do.

"Okay, let's go."

Wu Chen nodded.

"What ailments are you two seeking treatment for?"

When we arrived at the clinic, there weren't many patients today. The doctor sat at the door, looking at a medical book, and asked questions casually.

“My husband fractured his leg a few months ago and it hasn’t fully recovered yet. Could you check how he’s recovering and whether he needs to take medicine or apply ointment?”

Leng Feng pointed to Wu Chen's leg.

"Come inside."

The doctor put down his medical book and led them to the inner room, where there was a bed.

"Lie down and take off your shoes and socks, let me see."

The doctor sat down, Wu Chen lay down, and Leng Feng helped him take off his shoes and socks.

The doctor gasped in shock; such a large wound, yet the leg was still intact.

The wound ran from below the knee down to the ankle.

The doctor gently pinched it with his hands, from top to bottom.

"Does it hurt?"

The doctor asked.

"It hurts a little bit, and it can hurt a bit if I stand for a long time."

Wu Chen was also a little worried, wondering if he would become a cripple in the future.

"It's okay, you've actually recovered about 70-80%. Just continue to avoid standing for long periods and exerting yourself for the next month."

Take good care of yourself for a month, and you won't feel pain when you walk next month.

In addition, I'll prescribe some medicine to reduce swelling and relieve pain. Soak your feet in it after you get home; it will be good for your bone growth.

After the doctor finished speaking, he got up and went outside to get the medicine. Leng Feng helped Wu Chen put on his shoes and socks.

"Grandpa, you can rest assured now. Your leg will be fine. You can just rest and recuperate at home."

Leng Feng helped Wu Chen put on his shoes and socks and helped him stand up.

"Why don't we buy a cane? That way you won't need to hold on, and you can help with some chores."

Wu Chen thought it would be good if Leng Feng could help Wei Yuyan share the burden.

"Alright".

Leng Feng nodded. "Buying a cane wouldn't be bad. It would allow Grandpa to walk around more."

After getting the medicine, the two asked the doctor where they could buy a walking stick, and then went to buy one.

"Leng Feng, I always feel that it's weird of you to call her sister-in-law."

Wu Chen had wanted to say this for a long time: Leng Feng calls him "Master" but calls Wei Yuyan "Sister-in-law," isn't that a generational difference?

"If that's how you put it, then I'll call you brother from now on. Brother and sister-in-law, wouldn't that make a perfect couple?"

Leng Feng was in a bad mood. He called her "Madam," but Wei Yuyan was unhappy. He called her "Sister-in-law," but Wu Chen was unhappy.

"From now on, you can call me Brother Wu and her Sister-in-law Wu. That way, everyone will know we're husband and wife."

Wu Chen came up with a good title.

“Yes, Angkor…”

Leng Feng shouted helplessly.

"Hmm~".

Wu Chen was very happy to hear this and felt much more at ease.

"Sister-in-law... Sister Wu, we're back. Look, the ribs look good today."

After arriving home, Leng Feng took the meat to the kitchen. Wu Chen now had crutches, so they didn't need to worry about him anymore.

"Okay, I'll wash and prepare the vegetables now."

Wei Yuyan almost didn't realize that Aunt Wu was calling her. She decided to let it be.

"I'll help."

Leng Feng deftly washed and chopped the vegetables.
