After spending a few days on the island, the family prepared to go back home.
Having been out for so many days and completely out of contact with the outside world, if I don't go back soon, I'm afraid Sister Wang will think I'm a swindler and that I'll disappear without a trace without even signing a contract.
She took out the cruise ship again and had Lu Baichuan drive it back to port.
The island was really far away. Lu Baichuan drove the cruise ship for several hours before returning to the place where they had stopped earlier. It took another two hours to gradually reach the shore, but they still chose a very far place to switch back to the small wooden boat they had started with and slowly rowed back.
Although they set off early in the morning, it was already dark when they returned to Cangcheng.
Too lazy to go back and cook, I ate my fill at a restaurant on the street before going home.
Just as she reached the door, Wang's sister-in-law's door opened, and Wang Shanshan saw an elderly doctor carrying a medicine box off, her eyes still red.
"Shanshan, what's wrong? Is someone in the family sick?"
The dog had already gone inside, so Jiang Jiuniang handed the things to Lu Baichuan to take inside, and stayed a little longer herself.
Seeing Wang Shanshan's red eyes, I knew something might have happened to the Wang family.
Wang Shanshan had been holding back her tears, but when she saw Jiang Jiuniang, she could no longer hold them back and instantly burst into tears, sobbing as she said, "Madam, you've finally come back... Waaaaah..."
"Don't cry, don't cry. Talk to your auntie and tell her what happened."
Jiang Jiuniang hurriedly wiped away the little girl's tears, and soon found out what had happened.
It turned out that the Chen family martial arts troupe had come to cause trouble, bringing up the matter of the two burly men who had caused trouble before, and proposed to challenge the Wang family martial arts troupe. The Wang family martial arts troupe originally refused, but the other party was tough. They said that if the Wang family did not agree, they would cause trouble and destroy things everywhere. Helpless, the Wang family had no choice but to agree.
But no one expected that Chen would resort to underhanded tactics, causing injuries to several of Wang's people during the competition.
More importantly, someone tried to attack Sister Wang when no one was paying attention, but Old Wang stopped them, and Old Wang was injured as a result.
The wound wasn't large, but the other party tampered with the hidden weapon, causing Old Wang to be poisoned and remain unconscious for several days. The old doctor just told them to prepare for the worst.
Sister-in-law Wang's eyes are almost blind from crying these past few days. She even said that if Old Wang were gone, she wouldn't want to live anymore.
Jiang Jiuniang never expected that these things would happen after she had been gone for only a few days. That Chen Shi was really shameless.
"Good child, take me to see your father, perhaps I can save him!"
Wang Shanshan, her eyes brimming with tears, was momentarily stunned when she heard Jiang Jiuniang's words. She paused for a moment before turning her tears into a smile and saying, "Alright! This way, Madam!"
She wiped away her tears and led Jiang Jiuniang inside, her steps hurried, afraid that if she was even a little slow, she would delay her father's treatment.
After a few days apart, the Wang family was in a state of desolation.
All the daughters of the Wang family who had married had returned, and the whole family stayed by Old Wang's bedside, their eyes red with tears.
After learning of her son's accident, Mrs. Wang also fell ill and hadn't eaten properly for several days.
Wang's wife had to look after her husband while also taking care of her ailing mother-in-law, and she lost a lot of weight.
"Mother, Mrs. Lu from next door is here!"
Wang Shanshan strode over, her voice filled with excitement, which seemed somewhat out of place with the atmosphere at home.
But no one said anything. The youngest sister was the only unmarried child in the family, so she received more love and care from her older brothers and sisters from a young age, and they were very tolerant of her.
Wang's sister-in-law was already listless, as if she had lost her soul, but upon hearing this, she reacted instantly and hurriedly stood up to go out and greet them. However, because she stood up too quickly, her vision went black and she almost fell. It was only with the help of her eldest daughter sitting next to her that she was able to stand up properly.
The eldest daughter was already married and didn't know who Madam Lu next door was, but seeing her mother so anxious, she figured it must be someone important, so she quickly helped her mother out to greet her.
Jiang Jiuniang had already reached the door. Seeing that Sister Wang was still coming to greet her despite her condition, she felt a pang of sadness and said, "Sister-in-law, it's only been a few days, how come you've become so thin?"
Hearing Jiang Jiuniang say this, Wang's sister-in-law's emotions, which she had managed to control, began to surge again. She hurriedly wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief to stop her tears before saying, "Jiang Jiuniang, you're finally back! I... I've heard that you are skilled in medicine. Could you please take a look at my husband, Lao Wang?"
"That's why I came here. I'll go see Master Wang first. Sister-in-law, don't worry."
With a life at stake, Jiang Jiuniang didn't bother with pleasantries and strode inside. She saw that Old Wang's lips had turned purple and immediately sensed something was wrong. She lifted the blanket to check the wound and found that it had become infected. If it wasn't treated soon, they would really have to prepare for his death.
At that time, doctors did not have the idea or the technique to remove rotten flesh. Especially since this place was remote, there were not many doctors with good medical skills. They were all ordinary doctors who could prescribe medicine. It was not easy for them to keep Old Wang alive until now.
Jiang Jiuniang didn't say much, but asked Wang Shanshan to go to the neighbor's house and ask Gou'er to bring her first-aid kit over.
While waiting for the first-aid kit, she fed Old Wang an antidote pill, and then spoke to Wang's sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, I can heal Master Wang's injuries. You should take your family to wash up and have something to eat. These past few days must have been tough for you, so go and rest. Shanshan can help me here."
"Really? Madam Jiang, can you really cure my old man?"
Sister-in-law Wang pulled Jiang Jiu Niang aside to confirm repeatedly. It wasn't that she didn't believe Jiang Jiu Niang, but she was too shocked. They had consulted many doctors in the past few days, and they all said there was no hope.
“Of course it’s true. You suffered this misfortune, and I’m partly to blame. If I hadn’t gone too far that day, the Chen family wouldn’t have retaliated. I should give you an explanation.”
Sister-in-law Wang hurriedly waved her hand: "This matter has nothing to do with you. If it weren't for your help that day, those two would have humiliated me in a certain way. Our two families are old enemies. It has nothing to do with you. Don't overthink it. Now that you have saved my husband, you are our family's great benefactor. From now on, I will not charge you for any goods you need to deliver. We will deliver them to you for free!"
If we can really save Lao Wang, we don't care how much we lose; the important thing is that he's alive.
"Oh, sister-in-law, look at you, how did you bring this up again? I already said it's business, I will definitely do it according to what we agreed on before. One thing at a time, sister-in-law, you are just too impatient. You can either go eat something and rest, or wait for me to help Master Wang treat his injuries before we talk."
The dog had already arrived with her first-aid kit. The little guy was very sensible; he wasn't curious about so many people. He simply gave a brief greeting to everyone and then helped Jiang Jiuniang open the first-aid kit and prepare the necessary items.
When he's out and about, he's his mother's little medical assistant.
At such a critical moment, the Wang family naturally refused to leave. Even though they didn't understand medicine, they all stood nervously by. For some reason, after Madam Lu arrived, they instantly felt at ease and believed her words that their father would definitely be alright.
