Chapter 55

"Are you buying it or are you buying it for your family?" Jing Xian was a little surprised, but not surprised. "Is it rheumatism or joint pain?"

Jing Xian asked Zhao Xiuzhi a question that left her confused.

She said, “I don’t know either.”

Jing Xian was silent for a moment, then asked, "Then what do you know?"

"I don't know what hurts Wu Zhanfu." Zhao Xiuzhi has been married to Wu Zhanfu for many years. After she was able to follow the army, Wu Zhanfu asked her to bring her children over.

It's such a mess outside, but it's much better inside the army.

Although I couldn't get enough food anywhere and life was extremely hard, it was still much better than living in the countryside.

She felt sorry for Wu Zhanfu from the bottom of her heart.

Although she had many faults, Wu Zhanfu never thought of abandoning her, nor did he ever touch her with a finger.

In the countryside, when a couple fights, it is common to see people hitting each other on the head with rolling pins or kicking each other. Some people even throw things around during a fight, smashing everything in the house. When they wake up, they find that there is no one left to eat at home, so they eat with half a broken bowl and accidentally cut their lips.

Jing Xian thought she was too embarrassed to say where she felt uncomfortable, but when she heard it was Wu Zhanfu, she said, "Then when he comes back, you guys can come directly over. I will then take a look at him and make some ointment for him. Otherwise, it would be a waste of money if the ointment is not used for the right disease."

Jingxian is a conscientious doctor.

"Okay, we'll come over after dinner." Zhao Xiuzhi left happily.

After Shang Nanchen and the others left, he asked in surprise: "When did you become so close to her?"

"I want to know, too." Jing Xian didn't dislike the current relationship.

Zhao Xiuzhi was quite annoying at first.

When he wanted to report her, he only reported it to Shang Nanchen, not to the troops. Otherwise, it would definitely affect Shang Nanchen's future. Later, the matter became a big deal, and Shang Nanchen had already handed over the evidence from the investigation.

The marriage partners of military personnel must be reviewed. Jingxian had no problems at the time, but that doesn't mean Jingxian as a person has no problems.

What if someone catches the leak?

Liu Cailan is a good example.

Liu Caiying replaced "Liu Cailan" as Chen Baomin's wife, and secretly had affairs with other men. She wanted to get all kinds of information, but unfortunately Chen Baomin was a ruthless man and very sensitive. He did not make any moves, but just did not let any information be passed on.

The men she came into contact with were capable, but their minds were not in the right place.

This also resulted in Liu Caiying trying her best but still failing to obtain any useful information.

Finally he was arrested and thrown into a secret prison.

It's really a loss of both the wife and the army.

I had nothing to do and there was a cold stove.

Jing Xian carried the sweet potatoes that she had forced to grow and took Shang Nanchen to the stone mill.

Before the sweet potatoes can be made into sweet potato flour, they need to be pulverized, which requires a stone mill. This is a very physically demanding job. If Shang Nanchen is not here, Jing Xian can do it, but why should she work so hard when she has a man?

It took a long time to puree all the sweet potatoes.

Take the pulp home and start filtering.

Filter with gauze.

Shang Nanchen made her a wooden frame so that filtering would be easier. Shang Nanchen could do this process himself in a few years. After filtering the sweet potato flour several times, it had to be precipitated. Sedimentation was also a complicated job and required several times of precipitation.

Jingxian saw that it was almost time and went to make dinner.

After dinner, Zhao Xiuzhi and her husband did not come over.

She put the sweet potato flour in a cloth bag and hung it outside to dry. After it dried into sweet potato flour, she made sweet potato vermicelli.

Jing Xian had just finished her work when Zhao Xiuzhi and Wu Zhanfu came over.

Wu Zhanfu didn't have back pain, but leg pain.

It hurts terribly when it's cloudy or rainy.

He didn't want to come at all.

How old is Shang Nanchen's lover? She is only 19 years old now. She is still a child at the age of 19. What can she do?

That is Zhao Xiuzhi

He was making a fuss all day long and insisted on dragging him over to look at his legs.

His legs will be fine until he dies.

Wu Zhanfu was reluctant, but he didn't show it.

"When it rains or is cloudy, our old Wu's legs hurt so much that he can't walk. When the weather changes, his forehead is covered with cold sweat. He has seen doctors over the years, but they couldn't find anything." Zhao Xiuzhi only recently heard about Jing Xian's abilities, "I heard that you seem to know Chinese medicine, so I was thinking of asking you to take a look."

"Okay, lift up your trouser legs so I can see."

"Okay, wait a minute."

Zhao Xiuzhi took action herself and pulled up the pants legs of Wu Zhanfu, who was still feeling awkward.

Jing Xian examined Wu Zhanfu and found that his calf was severely blocked. There was even some residue inside. Looking at the ugly scar on his calf, Jing Xian guessed that it was an injury he had sustained on the battlefield, and that it was not properly treated at the time, which left such a problem.

This leg needs surgery to take out the stuff inside.

Jing Xian would not directly ask: "Did you not see a doctor for this injury and just let it heal on its own?"

Wu Zhanfu was stunned. He didn't expect Jing Xian to have some real skills.

He asked in surprise: "How did you know?"

Wu Zhanfu glanced at Shang Nanchen. Shang Nanchen came here just a few days earlier than Jing Xian.

Shang Nanchen came here for half a year and was in the hospital for half a year before he was released. After he became a battalion commander in the army, he returned home, but something happened at home and he had to take leave several times.

It was only after he married Jingxian and brought his two children over that things returned to normal.

There is no way he could know this.

"The wound looks very obvious. Moreover, I suspect that your leg pain is actually related to the fact that the wound was not treated properly at the time. I speculate that there must be something in your leg that needs surgery to be taken out." When Jing Xian said this, Wu Zhanfu was completely stunned.

Zhao Xiuzhi's eyes turned red as she listened to this. Without saying anything, she stood up and said, "Tomorrow, Captain Shang, please ask for a leave for our old Wu. I will take him to the hospital for a checkup. Ask the doctor if the thing on his leg can be removed."

"OK."

Shang Nanchen naturally agreed.

The next day.

Zhao Xiuzhi dragged Wu Zhanfu to the hospital, but Wu Zhanfu refused to go. He thought Jingxian was a liar: "Don't be what others say. What if I don't have anything here? It's a waste of money."

"I'm willing to waste money. I can afford this little bit."

Zhao Xiuzhi just wanted to feel at ease. She didn't know if it was because of Liu Cailan's incident that she realized Jingxian was a friend worth making, and people like Liu Cailan were a nuisance. She had a very good impression of Jingxian.

But Jing Xian definitely doesn't like her very much.

That’s okay, she has a lot of problems, but she doesn’t have a bad heart.

I don't have to be close to Jingxian, but being a good neighbor is always enough.

After arriving at the hospital, Zhao Xiuzhi told the doctor about Wu Zhanfu's leg condition, and the doctor immediately asked Wu Zhanfu to go for an examination.

Wait until the X-ray comes back.

The couple was waiting at the door.

"Is Wu Zhanfu here?" the nurse shouted at the door.

Zhao Xiuzhi held out her hand: "Yes, yes, yes, we are here."

"Come in."

The couple got up and walked in. Zhao Xiuzhi asked nervously, "Doctor, is there something in my wife's leg?"

The doctor looked at Zhao Xiuzhi and nodded: "This thing needs surgery to be taken out. Will you perform the surgery today?"

"Do."

Zhao Xiuzhi agreed without hesitation.

Wu Zhanfu was also shocked.

He didn't expect that what Jing Xian said was actually right.

Zhao Xiuzhi said with fear: "Fortunately I went to find Jingxian."

"Yes, you are right." Wu Zhanfu was also convinced, "I didn't expect Jingxian to be so capable."

"That's not just some ability, that's a lot of ability." Zhao Xiuzhi was happy that Wu Zhanfu's leg was fine after the operation, and it would never be cloudy or rainy again.

It just hurts.

She really needs to thank Jing Xian.

I should thank my mother-in-law even more.

If it weren't for my mother-in-law's pressure

When Mrs. Wu learned that her son had a minor operation, she came to see him. She didn't expect that Zhao Xiuzhi, who used to be lazy and lazy, could be so active and served her very comfortably.

When Zhao Xiuzhi went out to ask the doctor, Mrs. Wu asked her son, "Did she have a head injury?"

Wu Zhanfu: “…”

Although he was embarrassed by what his mother said, he still explained, "She was grateful to you. She insisted on forcing her to apologize to Jing Xian. Otherwise, Jing Xian would not have treated me. If she hadn't treated me, I would never have known that my leg pain was because there was something in my leg."

Mrs. Wu felt that her daughter-in-law had come to her senses for the first time, and it was all because of her son. If it weren't for this, Mrs. Wu really didn't intend to let her son marry Zhao Xiuzhi.

"Has her brain been replaced?"

Wu Zhanfu: “…”

This is my mother.

He can't refute anything his mother says.

Even if he was scolding his wife, he could only listen.

Besides, what his mother said was right, his wife sometimes just wasn't very smart.

While waiting for the surgery, Zhao Xiuzhi took good care of Wu Zhanfu, and she was afraid that Wu Zhanfu would not have the surgery, so she coaxed her mother-in-law to stay.

She went back to get some clothes for Wu Zhanfu. When she opened the cupboard and saw the mung bean cake inside, she felt reluctant to give it away. Although it was not expensive, it was also a snack. Not everyone could afford it.

She took out the green bean cake wrapped in a paper bag and took ten eggs from the basket. She gritted her teeth and carried them to the next door.

"Jingxian, are you at home?"

Zhao Xiuzhi walked inside while shouting. Jing Xian just came back from get off work. She heard the noise and came out. She was stunned when she saw Zhao Xiuzhi: "Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, I just came to say thank you. If it weren't for you, our old Wu wouldn't have discovered the problem with his leg even when he was in the coffin. This is a little gift from me, you have to accept it no matter what." After Zhao Xiuzhi finished speaking, she put the things down and ran away, afraid that Jing Xian would catch up with her and return them to her.

Jing Xian looked at the thing in front of her and smiled slightly.

The relationships between people are really strange.

Until you get into the coffin, no one knows what the relationship will be like in the end.

If it were a month ago, she would never have thought that Zhao Xiuzhi would take the initiative to give her something.

Shang Nanchen came back and saw the things on the table. He asked in surprise: "Who came to our house today?"

"No one, it was just Wu Zhanfu's wife who came to thank me."

Shang Nanchen: “…”

Isn’t Wu Zhanfu’s wife Zhao Xiuzhi?

Why didn't she just say Zhao Xiuzhi wasn't good enough? Why did she have to beat around the bush?

"You just said Zhao Xiuzhi is not okay?"
