Old Wang's injury didn't require professional equipment for examination, nor would it require modern medicine, so Jiang Jiuniang didn't care that people were watching.
Although she herself didn't care, this era still emphasized the separation of men and women, so it was better to have someone watching over her, otherwise many things would be difficult to explain.
Everyone saw Jiang Jiuniang use a small knife to scrape off all the rotten flesh from the wound, squeeze out the black blood inside, disinfect and disinfect it, and finally apply wound medicine and bandage it. Her movements were so smooth and efficient that it was clear she was a professional.
"Don't worry, Sister-in-law Wang. The poison hasn't spread to Master Wang's heart and lungs yet. I've already given him an antidote. If nothing unexpected happens, he'll wake up first thing tomorrow morning."
Overjoyed, Sister-in-law Wang wept tears of joy, holding Jiang Jiuniang's hand and thanking her again and again.
The other children in the Wang family also found it amazing. All the other doctors said there was no hope, but this lady took one look and said she could save him. In just a short while, she turned their father from critical condition to safe. Their admiration for her was overflowing.
They all bowed deeply to Jiang Jiuniang, expressing their heartfelt gratitude: "Thank you so much, Madam, for saving our lives!"
"No need to be so polite. We're all neighbors, and I'm happy to help you."
Jiang Jiuniang smiled and was completely unpretentious, making it hard to reconcile her image with that of the shrew who forced the county magistrate to investigate the Sun family's past.
"By the way, I heard your mother is also sick. I'll go and take a look at her while I'm at it. It's easy to get sick when you get old, so it's best to get her treated as soon as possible."
When the old lady from the Wang family was in good spirits, she always liked to sit in the sun at the door of her house. She was a very easy person to get along with. Jiang Jiuniang had met her a few times and heard her talk about the Sun family. Later, when the investigation began, she also came to ask her a few questions. The old lady always cooperated actively. Jiang Jiuniang had a good impression of the old lady and naturally hoped that she could live a long life.
"Yes, yes, I'll take you there right away."
Sister-in-law Wang pulled Jiang Jiuniang out, not forgetting to turn back and tell her children, "You've all been exhausted these past few days. Go and eat something and rest. Let Shanshan stay here and keep watch."
Wang Shanshan is young and needs to help the whole family with chores, so she is well-fed, unlike the others who are always hungry.
With a huge weight lifted from their hearts, and knowing they were indeed starving, the group didn't say much and went to eat together.
Sister Wang took Jiang Jiu Niang to visit the old lady. The Wang family was frugal, and Sister Wang and her daughters and daughters usually took care of the household chores. Only the old lady had two maids by her side to serve her at all times, which showed how dedicated Sister Wang was.
On the way, Sister Wang chatted with Jiang Jiuniang about everyday things.
“My mother-in-law has always been in good health, but ever since my father-in-law passed away, her health has been deteriorating. She keeps saying that she wants to go and see my father-in-law.”
Jiang Jiuniang joked, "The two old folks have such a good relationship!"
"Yes, my mother-in-law often talks about how good my father-in-law is. When he was alive, he often taught the children that my mother-in-law was the one who helped support the family. The two elders respected and encouraged each other, which is why we have such a good life today."
Sister-in-law Wang is a grateful person. She always smiles when she talks about her parents-in-law, which shows that she has a very good relationship with them.
As the two were talking, they arrived at the old lady's residence. A young maid was bringing out food and, upon seeing Sister Wang, whispered, "Madam, the old lady still doesn't want to eat."
"Give it to me."
Sister-in-law Wang took the bowl and told the maid to leave.
The maidservant responded, bowed, and left.
Sister-in-law Wang led Jiang Jiu Niang inside. The room was dimly lit, with no lights on, and there was a musty smell in the air, probably because the old lady didn't like to open the windows.
"Mother, I have good news! My husband is alright. It was Jiang Niangzi from next door who saved him!"
Sister-in-law Wang put the bowl on the table and went to talk to the old lady herself. The old lady had her eyes closed the whole time, but when she heard this, she opened her eyes wide and looked at Sister-in-law Wang, saying, "Xiulan, are you serious?"
Xiulan is Wang's sister-in-law's maiden name.
"Of course it's true, would your daughter-in-law lie to you? Madam Jiang and her family went out for a trip these past few days and just got back tonight. They came to our house tonight after curing her husband, and hearing that you weren't feeling well, they wanted to come and take a look at you too!"
The old lady was a little hard of hearing, so Sister Wang spoke quite loudly, but her tone was very gentle, and she always had a smile on her face. She was in much better condition than when Jiang Jiuniang had seen her earlier.
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Wang immediately struggled to sit up, but Jiang Jiuniang quickly stepped forward to stop her, saying, "Aunt Wang, you should just lie down. Don't worry, Master Wang's condition has stabilized, and he'll wake up first thing tomorrow morning. You must take good care of yourself and absolutely cannot fall ill!"
As Jiang Jiuniang helped the old woman lie down, she took her pulse.
"Aunt Wang, your illness is a minor problem. You'll be fine after taking medicine for two days, but you still need to eat. I'm waiting for you to go out in the sun so you can tell me about the past!"
Jiang Jiuniang was gentle and had a smile on her face when she spoke, so she didn't seem like a patient coming to see a doctor, but rather a junior who came to chat with her.
Grandma Wang was deeply moved. Holding Jiang Jiuniang's hand, she nodded with tears in her eyes, "Good girl, you are our Wang family's savior! If you ever need anything in the future, just let us know. We will definitely do our best to help you!"
Wang's sister-in-law nodded in agreement, fully agreeing with the old lady's words.
Jiang Jiuniang didn't refuse the old lady's request and nodded, saying, "Alright, don't worry, I won't stand on ceremony with you!"
After writing the prescription, Jiang Jiuniang sat with the old lady for a while before leaving. Wang's wife personally saw her off, expressing her gratitude profusely.
"Sister-in-law Wang, you don't need to be so polite with me. As I said, I caused this whole mess, so I'm sorry. Don't worry, I'll give you an explanation for this."
She hadn't expected Chen to retaliate, and she carelessly took her whole family out to play, which is why Wang was bullied like this.
She had originally planned to let the matter drop once the constables took the two men away, but now that they had come looking for trouble, she wasn't going to be so irritable.
Worried that she might cause trouble, Sister Wang hurriedly advised, "Madam Jiang, don't be impulsive. This is a long-standing feud between our two families. It really has nothing to do with you. Don't let us affect your own life. I'm already very grateful that you came back tonight to save my husband and my mother-in-law. You don't need to do anything else."
Sister-in-law Wang knew that she was no ordinary person and could do a lot of things, but she didn't want her to cause trouble because of her own family's affairs, as that would be a sin for the Wang family.
Jiang Jiuniang didn't seem to care and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I know what I'm doing. By the way, I heard that several people in your martial arts guild were also injured. If needed, have them come over tomorrow, and I'll take a look at them together."
