Chapter 195 Dalang, it’s time to take medicine (5)
Old Mrs. Wei returned empty-handed. Huo Shichu thanked the lady who spoke for her and left, but not all the other onlookers were on her side.
Some people who can't stand seeing others doing well grumbled, "I don't think this Wei Dalang family member is a good person either. Look at her sharp tongue. She's very powerful."
"Don't worry about her. What does it have to do with you whether she's powerful or not? How is she going to be in charge if she's not powerful? It's easy to talk without any pain!" The lady who spoke for Huo Shichu rolled her eyes and said.
The others were silent immediately. That was right. Wei Dalang had become a cripple. If his wife wasn't more capable, how would he live? Thinking of this, everyone could understand a little.
Huo Shichu didn't care what others thought of her. She went home, packed up her things, and then went to Wei Dalang's room and asked him, "I heard from Aunt Zhou that you have severed ties with your biological father's family and were adopted out. You are no longer a member of their family, right?"
Wei Dalang was a little surprised that she would ask this, but it was not something that needed to be kept secret, so he nodded and said, "Yes, so from now on that family has nothing to do with us. If they do something excessive, we don't have to endure it. We can do whatever we need to do."
Huo Shichu was very satisfied after hearing this and said, "That's good. Just now your stepmother tried to steal my things, but I scolded her back."
Wei Dalang's face suddenly darkened, and he pursed his thin lips tightly. After a while, he said, "Well scolded. If they dare to bother you again, go find the village chief."
"Okay." With his words, Huo Shichu naturally knew what to do. It seemed that after this incident, he finally saw through the cold and ruthless nature of the Wei family and would no longer be foolishly filial.
"Do you want me to change the medicine for you?" Huo Shichu asked politely while holding the crushed herbs.
As she expected, Wei Dalang refused: "No, my leg is injured, but my hands are fine. I can change them myself." As he said that, he lifted the thin quilt on his body, supported himself on the edge of the bed with his hands and stood up.
Huo Shichu brought the water and herbs to the broken table beside his bed and said, "Then you change it. Call me if you need help."
This man had a strong sense of self-esteem, and he probably wouldn't be happy for her to see him in such a mess when he was changing the dressing, so Huo Shichu consciously left his room.
Two quarters of an hour later, Huo Shichu finally heard Wei Qi's hoarse voice calling her.
When she went in, she saw that the clear water in the basin had become turbid, the freshly crushed herbs had been applied to his legs, and the newly changed bandages were thrown beside the basin.
Wei Qi's face was a little pale, and there was a lot of sweat on his forehead. It was obvious that changing the dressing was not easy for him.
"Sorry to trouble you." He said to Huo Shichu politely.
"Since you feel that you are bothering me, then just focus on healing your wounds and get your leg healed quickly. Don't delay your condition." Huo Shichu said bluntly, looking up at him, "When I was in my hometown, I heard from the doctor that the patient's mood also has a great impact on the condition."
Wei Qi was a little surprised to hear her words. He thought his nominal wife was a country girl with little knowledge and short-sightedness, but he didn't expect her to say such words. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, I want my leg injury to heal more than anyone else."
Huo Shichu glanced at his thin face and frowned. This man didn't eat well and didn't have enough nutrition. It would be strange if his wounds healed quickly, but what reason should she find to find meat to eat? Even if she could avoid people and hide in the space to eat and drink, she couldn't hide from Wei Qi's eyes for three meals a day. She still had to eat simply. She could tolerate it for a while, but she couldn't stand it for a long time...
Wei Qi watched her packing up her medicine residue and bandages with a serious expression on her face. His eyes darkened for a moment, as if he was thinking about something. He thought she was worried that he didn't have enough money to buy medicine or see a doctor.
So when Huo Shichu came in again, Wei Qi took out a piece of silver, about two taels, and handed it to her, saying, "See if there's anything missing at home, and go to town to buy it tomorrow."
When Huo Shichu saw the small change, her eyes suddenly lit up and she took it without hesitation. She was worrying about how to use the small change she took out from the space openly, and Wei Qi happened to help her solve this problem.
Wei Qi saw her excited look and thought that she was just worried about money and was happy now that she had money. He said, "Don't worry. The money at home is barely enough for me to use while I recover. I will be able to work again when I recover, so I will have no problem supporting the family in the future."
Upon hearing this, Huo Shichu looked at him in surprise and discovered that Wei Dalang was not the honest and simple-minded man she had imagined, who was foolishly filial and dull, and who only woke up after being hit hard recently. On the contrary, he was still a little scheming, otherwise he would not have hidden the silver after the separation - and the separation was not too bad, after all, they got rid of that family of vampires.
"What's wrong? Is there dirt on my face?" Wei Dalang couldn't help but ask when he saw Huo Shichu looking at him strangely.
"No, I just didn't expect that you still had some plans in your mind. All the money on you was not taken away by your stepmother." Huo Shichu said bluntly.
When Wei Qi heard her words, the corners of his mouth curved up and he said, "Maybe it was because she saw me lying on my way home with both legs broken, and she was afraid of being dragged down, so she wanted to get rid of me immediately, and she was so anxious that she forgot to plunder my money."
"So that's how it is?" Huo Shichu said indifferently. No matter how he had left this little money, at least he didn't really become a pauper and need her to support him, even if she was able to support him.
"Then I'll go to the market in town with the villagers tomorrow. I heard from Aunt Zhou that tomorrow is market day." Huo Shichu said, "We need to buy pots, knives, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar for the family. We also need to buy a few sets of clothes and shoes for the two of us. We can't save on these things..."
Wei Qi listened quietly to Huo Shichu telling him seriously what to buy for the family, just like the wife of an ordinary family discussing the family's food, clothing and daily expenses with the head of the family. It was plain and peaceful. Even though it was poor, it made people feel full of expectations. This kind of peace and tranquility was what many people dreamed of but could not get...
When Wei Qi thought of this, his eyes dimmed. When he was fighting on the battlefield in the past, all he saw was blood, broken legs and limbs, and sharp wails. He didn't know when he would die, and the despair of being unable to survive at any time would drive people crazy.
Therefore, Wei Qi, who had experienced such a tragic and cruel situation, felt very happy and content even though his legs were severely injured, he was kicked out of his home and had nothing.
