Chapter 101 Regret
Fifteen minutes later, Sun Yin finished examining Chen Yongnian and came out of the house.
"How is it?" Wan Qiqi's intuition told her that Chen Yongnian's condition might not be good.
Sun Yin sighed, "He fell on the mountain yesterday and was hit, fracturing his chest cavity. He needs to rest well these days. I'll go back, prepare the medicine, and bring it to you."
Wan Qiqi's expression changed upon hearing this. She took out a piece of silver from her purse and handed it to Sun Yin, saying, "This is for the consultation and medicine fees."
Startled, Sun Yin immediately returned the silver coins, saying, "Why would I need so much? Fifteen coins would be enough."
Wan Qiqi was also a little embarrassed. She had never seen a doctor in ancient times and always thought they would be very expensive.
Then, she exchanged the money for twenty copper coins and handed them to Sun Yin, saying, "The extra five coins can be used to make some medicine to prevent miscarriage. I heard from my second brother that Chongniang has not been sleeping well lately."
Sun Yin did not refuse and accepted the copper coins. "Is Yongxing's wife about seven months pregnant?"
Wan Qiqi thought for a moment and said, "It's almost August!"
Sun Yin nodded. "That's normal. It's difficult to fall asleep for eight months. Let her walk around in the yard during the day and not stay in the house all the time. If she starts bleeding, go and call a midwife immediately."
After seeing Sun Yin off, Wan Qiqi leaned against the doorway, staring into the room.
Chen Yongnian was about to get up when a look from her startled him, and he lay back down. "Wife, I'm fine..."
"Whether it's serious or not is up to Uncle Sun. You should rest and rest for the next couple of days." Wan Qiqi was puzzled. Why would she suddenly have a fever?
It turns out that the infection caused by the fracture led to inflammation in the body!
"Wife..." Chen Yongnian muttered, with a hint of coquetry in his voice.
Wan Qiqi had never seen a tough guy act cute before; this was the first time, and she was quite dumbfounded.
Then, she cleared her throat, feigning anger, "None of them give me any peace of mind..."
Chen Yongnian finally shut his mouth, stopped talking, and lay down obediently.
Time flies when you're at home; a day passes quickly.
As agreed, I was supposed to deliver honey pomelo jam to the town today.
Chen Yongliang had just finished packing his things and was about to leave when he discovered that his sister-in-law was also sitting on the mule cart. He was so frightened that his face turned pale.
He thought that since his elder brother was sick, his sister-in-law would forget about what happened to him a couple of days ago, but judging from this situation, his sister-in-law was planning to go with him to find out what was going on!
"Sister-in-law, my brother is sick. I can go alone to deliver the honey grapefruit jam."
Wan Qiqi glanced at him, showing no intention of getting off the mule cart. "You go deliver the sauce, I have something to do in town."
Chen Yongliang was skeptical, thinking that his sister-in-law had just made up an excuse, but he didn't dare to stop her from going.
Seeing that the bruises on Chen Yongliang's face hadn't faded, Wan Qiqi suddenly remembered that he had come home late, and a smile appeared on her lips. "What? Are you afraid I'll go to town?"
"No...no way!" Chen Yongliang quickly turned around and drove the mule cart forward, afraid that Wan Qiqi would notice something amiss.
With such poor acting skills, even an ordinary person, let alone Wan Qiqi, could tell that something was fishy.
But Wan Qiqi never revealed it.
Upon reaching the town entrance, Wan Qiqi indeed disembarked from the mule cart and did not enter the town with Chen Yongliang.
Wan Qiqi remembered that the villagers had said that the Qian family lived in the mountains outside Hefeng Town.
It wasn't really a village, just a small cluster of five or six households, all of whom made a living by hunting.
I had agreed with Ms. Qian that I would give her the money after she returned from the county government office. But unexpectedly, she left without even asking for the money back!
The other party may forget, but she cannot; she has always kept her word.
The town is not like the ones in movies and TV dramas, surrounded by walls on all sides. Instead, it is a maze of roads, so there are many people selling things at the town entrance.
Wan Qiqi found a popular steamed bun stall, ordered two steamed buns and a pot of water, and sat down by the busy roadside.
At this time, people from the surrounding villages come to town to set up stalls. Many people stop to eat here because the prices are low before going into town.
From where Wan Qiqi was sitting, she could see a mountain, but she rarely saw anyone coming down the road at the foot of the mountain.
At that moment, the conversation between two women at the table next to her caught her attention.
"Hey, have you guys heard? Someone died!"
Where did someone die?
The woman pointed: "On that mountain!"
Wan Qiqi could see very clearly that they were pointing to the mountain she wanted to investigate, and immediately asked, "Who died?"
The two women didn't recognize her, but judging from her appearance, she must have been a village woman from some village. They probably also enjoyed hearing these interesting stories, so they started talking without restraint.
"I heard it was a woman who had just divorced her husband a couple of days ago."
Wan Qiqi was taken aback. Could it be such a coincidence?
"Yes, I heard they even took it to the county government!"
Wan Qiqi was certain that they were referring to Qian Shi, and asked, "How did she die?"
"Is that even a question? Of course, he'll go back home and be ostracized!"
"Yes, if things escalate to the county government and they get a divorce, who will be willing to take her back to her parents' home?"
"If you ask me, I think she could just endure it, why bother with a divorce! Now look what happened, she went back to her parents' home and died after only one day!"
Wan Qiqi didn't quite believe it. How could someone die after just getting a divorce?
"I heard she hanged herself outside. The hunters who went out hunting yesterday evening were scared half to death!"
"Tsk, it's one thing for this person to hang herself, but to do it outside like that, if someone with a weak heart were scared into following her!"
Wan Qiqi still couldn't believe that the person who had offered to sell her a mule just two days ago would hang himself after returning to his parents' home.
Having already escaped the Lin family, and not even afraid of death, what else can't they overcome?
