Chapter 21 (1/2)
”Sister Su, my mother asked me to bring you some hot water.” It's Erya. She has a bunch of coppers in her hand.
Er Ya knows Zhang's situation. Her mother usually thinks that Zhang's poor will send some porridge secretly.
”Mother said we can't have the money, sister Su take it.”
Su Muge didn't answer. ”This money is for you. You can take it. I need your help later.”
”If sister Su is busy, just say so.”
Su Muge was not polite to see Zhang's situation. She told them what she needed and left Erya to take care of Zhang. She went to the end of the village with Hutou to find the only barefoot doctor in the village to take some medicine for Zhang.
Zhang's leg has begun to rot. the carrion must be cut off, or the leg will be ruined.
She's poisoned now. She hasn't found out the ability of her palm yet. Now she dare not use it easily.
It's much later when we survive.
Zhang's body is still weak, and the light is not good. Su Muge can only let Er Ya boil the medicine for Zhang first, and then operate tomorrow.
”Thank you so much today.”
”Sister Su, don't you really come back with me? This There's no place to sleep. ” Erya looked at the room with only one earthen Kang and one broken table and two broken chairs.
”No, thank you.”
”Let's go back and come back tomorrow.”
Er Ya leaves with Hu tou, and Zhang falls asleep.
Su Muge picked the oil lamp and looked at the medicine he had brought back from the barefoot doctor.
These medicines are of poor quality, but I can't help but make do with them first.
The night in the village was very quiet. Su Muge sat on the table and went to sleep.
”Ah! You, who are you! ”
A sharp exclamation, let Su Muge wake up, a woman with fat body, narrow forehead and prominent cheekbones pointed at her.
Su Muge sat up and turned to look at Zhang, who was lying on the bed. Zhang had already woke up and was waiting for the fat woman with big eyes.
”Wang Shi, what else do you want to do? Come and see if I'm starving!” Zhang was excited to get up from bed.
This woman is Wang's eldest daughter-in-law. She will come to see if Zhang is dead in two or three days.
Wang's disgusted glance is the same as Zhang's. ”Niang, I'm here to give you food. Why can't he die? He hasn't married a daughter-in-law.”
The death of a close relative in the countryside is also to keep filial piety for three years and not to be married. Wang's words are just heartfelt.
Su Muge guesses her identity as soon as she hears Zhang's name for Wang. Before she came, her mother had made her a member of the foreign population.
”It turned out to be the great aunt. The great aunt came to give food to her grandmother in the early morning. It was really thoughtful.”
Wang heard Su Muge say so, turning a pair of mouse eyes up and down to look at her.
Seeing Su Muge wearing clothes and skirts, it is not affordable for the family. One eye is still covered with a veil, and the face is dark and can not see clearly. But even so, Wang thinks Su Muge has extraordinary bearing.
”Who are you? Aunt's daughter? ” After that, Wang didn't think it was right. Zhao had a sister in front of him. He married to a peddler in the town and gave birth to two daughters and two sons. The daughter she had seen had no such bearing.
”My parents are worried when they hear that my grandmother fell down accidentally. Let me come back and have a look.”
”Your father, your mother...” Wang first frowned, then suddenly opened his eyes and clapped his hands. ”You are my sister-in-law's daughter!”
Su Muge did not nod his head in a negative way. In Zhang's case, it's not enough to rely on her alone. She's struggling with Wang.
”You, your mother asked you to come to see this old man Your grandmother? You are the girl who went to the capital to become a miss official! Oh, I'll go back and tell your uncle soon. ” As soon as Wang's face changed, he was so excited that his fat flesh was trembling. He turned around and ran out without any baskets in his hands.
Su Muge looks at the basket on the ground. There is a broken bowl containing some gruel that has been rancid!
”I don't think this shameless finger wants something crooked. Muge, grandma is OK. You, go back soon.” Zhang's face was full of worries at Su Muge. She had always thought it would be easy for Zhao to follow Su Lun. But now when she saw Su Muge coming to Zhao's village alone, she knew that Zhao must have cheated her a lot.
”Grandma, I'll go back when you're stable, or my mother will blame me.”
Su Muge goes out and cooks medicine for Zhang first, and then cooks some gruel in a small pot brought by Er Ya.
”Sister Su, you wake up so early.” Er Ya came in with a basket.
”My mother asked me to bring some pancakes for you and Aunt Zhang, as well as the things that sister Su said to use yesterday.”
Su Muge is welcome this time. ”Thank you.”Su Muge feeds Zhang, drinks medicine for her, lights the only kerosene lamp in the room, takes out a few silver needles borrowed from barefoot doctor and stabs Zhang's acupoint. After a while, Zhang faints.
Two ya a face surprised. ”Sister Su, what are you going to do?”
Su Muge doesn't look up. ”Have an operation, or the leg will be broken.”
She opened the windows and doors so that there was enough light in the room. She took out spirits and knives from the basket and disinfected them. She was ready to start cleaning up the carrion.
”Wait outside first. Don't let anyone in.”
Erya saw Zhang's leg frightened, and ran out with a white face and a nod.
