After Jiang Shan finished speaking, the two sisters-in-law laughed secretly. What could a sister-in-law say?
Doctor Wu shook his head. He already knew what the village chief was suffering from, but he still stepped forward to carefully check Kexin's pulse. After a while, he said, "The village chief is fine. Don't touch cold water or eat cold food for the next few days. He will be fine in a few days."
Ke Xin blushed and nodded: "Can you prescribe some painkiller pills?"
"All medicines are toxic. If you're in so much pain that you can't get up, I can prescribe some for you. But I see the village chief isn't that weak yet. Drink more brown sugar water and keep warm in the later stages. The pain will get better."
Ke Xin uttered an "oh" as her side glanced at the man outside the main hall. She immediately pointed at Wei San and said to Doctor Wu, "This man fainted at the door this morning. He said he was a hunter who accidentally stepped on a trap in the mountains and injured his ankle. Could you please take a look at him?"
Wei San didn't want to look at first, but since the words were spoken to him, Wei San didn't act pretentiously. He stood up and limped into the house, while his two sisters-in-law called Ke Xin away.
"Go and rest quickly. Jiang Shan is here so he won't be in the way."
"That's right, you look pale, go to sleep quickly."
An unmarried girl would not be interested in a man's body, not even his feet, especially since they were not familiar with the man. As soon as the three of them left the house, they ran into Ge Shuzhen who had returned in a hurry.
Ke Xin was afraid that her mother would come after her, so she immediately leaned against her eldest sister-in-law's arms and cried out, "Mom, my stomach hurts."
You were so domineering and confident in the cloth shop this morning. Now you are so listless now?
Ge Shuzhen glared at her and poked her forehead twice: "As soon as you stick your butt out, I know what you are going to do. Go to my room and rest first. Your two sisters-in-law and I will make you a quilt and mattress in a while."
Seeing that her mother didn't scold her, Ke Xin immediately perked up from her listlessness and replied with a smile, "Okay, mother."
After saying that, he waved to the people behind him, and went not to his mother's east room to rest, but to find Su Yan.
Outside the south door.
Ke Xin saw Su Yan and her elder brother talking and laughing. They looked like a passionate couple. Jiang Xin saw the girl out of the corner of his eye and his face turned red.
"Ke Xin is here? Come in and sit down."
Recalling her love affair with her ex-boyfriend in her previous life, it seemed that they had never even held hands. They only had a meal together occasionally and sent messages to each other. Then they got a marriage certificate and decided to get married. It was because everyone around them was married, so she just went with the flow.
Just as she was thinking about what was going to happen next, she was awakened by her eldest brother's call.
She walked in with a smile, sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes wandering between her elder brother and Su Yan, and joked with a smile: "With my future sister-in-law here to accompany you, I guess you will be able to run on your legs tomorrow. You don't know what pain is anymore."
Su Yan blushed and pinched the fat on her waist: "What nonsense are you talking about."
"Are you talking nonsense? Look at my brother. He's clearly injured, but his face is so rosy. How can he look injured? Even though he hadn't fully recovered on the day of the engagement, he will definitely be able to stand up on the wedding day and drag you into the house without any problem."
Su Yan's face turned even redder when she heard this. She glared at Ke Xin and ran out. Jiang Xin's eyes stayed on the door for a long time before he retracted them. He scolded Ke Xin with a smile: "You are so mean. You said that even though you knew she was shy."
Ke Xin rolled her eyes: "Tsk~ What I said is the truth, okay."
After chatting for a while, Ke Xin took out a silver hairpin with a lily pattern from her bosom and handed it to her eldest brother: "I originally wanted to buy a gold one, but I was afraid it would be too conspicuous, so I bought a silver one."
Jiang Xin touched the hairpin in his hand, and was deeply moved: "Thank you, sister. I will return it to you when I make money in the future."
"I didn't think of asking you to return it when I bought it. Besides, why are you brothers and sisters talking about that? Just take good care of your injuries. I'll call Su Yan back to you right away, so that I don't look like a forcible separation of a couple."
Jiang Xin grinned foolishly, looking at the hairpin in his hand, wishing he could wear it on Su Yan's head right now. He thought it must look great.
Ke Xin found Su Yan in her room, took out two taels of silver and placed it in her hand, saying regretfully, "This is your dividend. You can't do this business anymore."
Su Yan held the silver in her hand and asked in surprise, "Why?"
Because someone won’t let me!
"They didn't need it anymore, so they gave us some extra silver. This is just enough for two taels each for us."
Su Yan was dejected after hearing this. She had finally found a way to make money, but now she couldn't do it. It was such a pity. She touched the silver in her hand and returned it to Ke Xin.
"I owe you thirty-five taels. I'm going to pay you two taels now, and I'll pay you back later when I make money."
Su Yan had calculated the thirty-five taels of silver clearly, but Ke Xin hadn't remembered it. She handed the silver back to Su Yan, held her hand, and said, "Why pay it back? Just consider it a betrothal gift. When my brother's leg is healed, I'll have him take you to the government office to have the indenture destroyed, and you can register as a new household. You can be a good citizen in the future."
Su Yan hugged Ke Xin, tears silently falling.
At noon, Jiang Fu came in a hurry with his two younger brothers Jiang You and Jiang Cai. They were sweating profusely, but their faces were full of smiles. When they saw Ke Xin, they said, "Sister, those five piglets have grown three pounds. They may be ready to eat them now."
Jiang Cai wiped the sweat from his face and said weakly, "Those piglets are really good eaters. I'm so tired from making pig food that I almost collapsed."
