Chapter 124 Something growing in the stomach?
The villagers with eye diseases were so grateful that they almost knelt down to Jiang Lianzhu. This is hope! !
Eyes are the most important thing for a person. If a person is mute or lame, it is not a big deal, but if a person is blind, he is basically useless.
…
Jiang Lianzhu gave all the villagers a preliminary diagnosis. If there was a way, she would give them medicine directly. If there was no way, she would try her best to find a way to relieve everyone's physical pain symptoms.
To the best of her ability.
The villagers were excited and grateful, and kept praising Jiang.
Jiang Lianzhu was so busy that she didn't even have time to cook lunch, so Jiang Chengshi had to go into the kitchen and cook for the family.
Jiang Cheng’s cooking skills are good, and my daughter loves it very much, eating half a bowl more.
Wang Laowu was also very considerate. Apart from leaving a large bowl for Jiang Lianzhu, he cleared away all the remaining food.
Jiang Cheng was also happy as long as it suited their taste. She could help her daughter with housework. She was finally useful. Her daughter was busy with important things, and she helped with some housework within her ability. It also relieved her daughter's worries and it was not a waste of food and clothing.
After seeing off all the villagers, Jiang Lianzhu ate the lunch left for her and was just about to take a break for a nap when suddenly, someone came to look for her outside the yard.
She thought that some fellow villagers came to see her for medical treatment again, but unexpectedly, the person who came was a stranger.
It was a strange woman and a boy in his teens.
It should be a mother and son.
The woman was wearing an old gown and her face was full of vicissitudes, as if she was extremely sad. Her eyes were swollen and could hardly be opened, and she looked very haggard.
The snow was heavy and they surrounded the two people and roared wildly, frightening them so much that they held on to the doorstep and dared not come in.
"Excuse me, is this Madam Jiang's home?"
"It's me. What's up?"
Jiang Lianzhu came out and said, "Xue Da, Xue Er, Xue San, go play somewhere else..."
The three wolf cubs looked at the two strangers again and again. They didn't seem to be bad people, so they lay down and played by themselves in disappointment.
The woman introduced herself, "Madam Jiang, we are from the Sifang Restaurant in town. Our restaurant is having troubles right now and we're planning to close it down."
When Jiang Lianzhu and her friends went there a few days ago, they saw that the Sifang Restaurant was closed and thought something must have happened.
I never thought that it would really close down?
Jiang Lianzhu welcomed the mother and son into the reception room in the front yard and poured them tea.
"What exactly happened? Why are you closing down? The last time I saw your boss renting my shop, he was so ambitious and wanted to make the restaurant bigger and stronger. Why are you closing down all of a sudden?"
The woman wiped her tears, too sad to speak.
Her son, the half-grown boy, stepped forward and said, "My father suddenly fell seriously ill. The town clinic couldn't cure him, so we sent him to the county town for treatment for half a month. The doctors tried every possible method, but he still couldn't recover. All our family money was gone, and we even sold the Sifang Restaurant. We can't run it anymore."
Jiang Lianzhu asked, "Excuse me, what disease is it?"
The young man replied, "The doctors said my father has something growing in his stomach, but they don't know what it is. He's been using medication, but he hasn't gotten any better."
Something growing in your stomach?
This scope is very broad. When people here usually say stomach, it includes the heart, liver, spleen, stomach, lungs, intestines, etc. God knows where the thing is growing? What is growing?
Jiang Lianzhu asked again,
"What symptoms does your father have when he's sick?"
The young man didn't know why Jiang Lianzhu was so inquiring about other people's private matters. If he asked her if she could cure the disease or recommend a famous doctor, wouldn't it be useless to ask?
But this time they had something to ask for, and since they were in the wrong, they patiently replied, "When my father has an attack, he presses on one side of his stomach and cries out in pain. The pain is unbearable, and he can't sleep at night or eat..."
Jiang Lianzhu asked again, "One side? Which side?"
The young man's patience has run out.
He didn't reply.
He guessed that Jiang Lianzhu must have guessed why they came, and was deliberately delaying and talking about other things, just because she didn't want to give him the money.
The woman wiped her tears and said, "Madam Jiang, the reason we're here today is because we've come here uninvited... Our family is really in financial difficulty right now, so we've come here as a last resort. We want to discuss something with you. Our boss rented your shop for six months, paying three taels of silver a month, and we also paid you a ten-tael deposit. Now we really can't rent your shop anymore. Could you please be flexible and return the deposit and the remaining five months' rent to us..."
Jiang Lianzhu was still stroking her chin, thinking about what the illness the young man was talking about was.
The woman felt uneasy when she saw Jiang Lianzhu didn't say anything.
Fearing that she would not agree, he pleaded again, "Madam Jiang, we also know that the lease is for six months. According to the contract, no matter what happens, the prepaid rent is not refundable, and the deposit can only be refunded after six months. But our family is in a difficult situation now. Please be kind to us. Good people will be rewarded. Accumulate merit, Madam Jiang..."
Jiang Lianzhu came to her senses and said, "Since you said so, fine, I'll refund the rent and the deposit. Did you bring the contract and the keys?"
Both the woman and the young man were pleasantly surprised.
Being able to return twenty-five taels of silver can solve many urgent problems.
Twenty-five taels of silver would not be a big deal before the head of the family fell ill, but at this moment, it could be said to be life-saving money.
"Thank you, thank you!"
"Mrs. Jiang, you are such a good person..."
"I brought it."
Jiang Lianzhu asked them to take out the contract, checked it, and confirmed that it was correct. She also took back the keys to the front and back doors of her shop.
"Normally, I should go to town with you and check the store. If there's no damage, I'll return the money to you. But I trust you and I'm too lazy to check. I have a lot of things to do at home, and it's getting late. There's a patient at home, so I'll return the money to you so you can go home early."
"Thank you so much!" The woman cried again, this time out of emotion.
"Please wait a moment. I'll go back to the backyard to get the banknotes."
Jiang Lianzhu put away the lease and keys, quickly went to the backyard and came over.
He took twenty-five taels of silver, not a penny less from them.
The mother and son took the banknotes and left with many thanks.
The two of them looked much happier when they left than when they came.
After they left, Wang Laowu looked at their receding backs in the yard with a look of regret.
His hearing was excellent, and even though he was in the yard and didn't go into the house to join their conversation, he heard roughly what they thought. Jiang Lianzhu asked about the mother and son's condition, but if they didn't tell him the truth, they would regret it later.
