Chapter 174 Treatment
Several aunts were directly assigned to the kitchen. They were asked to cook whatever ingredients were available that day. There was no time to go shopping.
Village chief Liu also arranged for the villagers to go back first and hold a meeting with everyone in the evening.
Liu Shitou's family were all injured. Zheng Sisi let them live in the yard and asked Village Chief Liu to arrange someone to send Liu Cui'er over.
Village chief Liu was also afraid that the little girl would be depressed after suffering such an injury. He thought that she would be fine now that she had a few elderly people to accompany her. It would be bad if she committed suicide at home alone at night, so he promised to send her over later.
Zheng Sisi looked at the empty yard and felt sad. In this era of imperial power, if there is no backing, the fate is to be squeezed and twisted. Just like these hardworking people, they always make a living under the hands of others. If they do not do well, they will be beaten and killed. Even their own lives are not guaranteed.
Zheng Sisi is now very glad that she had stopped the imperial carriage to find the emperor. If she hadn't had the emperor's support, she didn't know what would have become of her. She might have been dismembered by some people with ulterior motives.
Zheng Sisi is even more convinced that she will take the emperor with her in everything she does in the future, so that they can get rich together and become strong together. Otherwise, she is worried that she will not be able to protect herself.
Zheng Sisi could never have imagined that the Emperor Yongshun valued her so much and believed in her unconditionally because the prophecy made by the abbot of Baiyun Temple paved a smooth road for her.
The Third Prince saw Zheng Sisi standing stupidly in the yard for a long time. He didn't know what she was thinking about. Her face was full of expression. He leaned over and asked, "Sisi, what are you thinking about?"
Zheng Sisi came back to her senses and looked at Sheng Zhen. This also had a big and thick leg. She could hug it and save her life.
She replied, "Nothing, I just thought that there is still a lot of work to do later, and the double-season rice planting in this farm is several days slower than that in Wohushan Farm."
Sheng Zhen consoled him, "It should be fine in a few days. Do we need to soak the rice seeds in water tonight?"
Zheng Sisi nodded: "Well, soak it first."
On the other side, the doctor checked Shitou's injuries, removed the gauze, and saw that the wound had been treated well. He was surprised at the magic of the medicine and the peculiar method of treating the wound, and wanted to know who treated the wound.
He took Shitou's pulse and confirmed that there was nothing serious, just excessive blood loss, so he prescribed some herbal medicine.
Then he fixed Shitou's leg bones and told him to stay in bed and not walk for three months. This frightened the couple and they were stunned for a long time.
The doctor also felt very sympathetic towards them. They all earned their food by doing hard labor. Now that they could not walk or work, their lives would become even more difficult.
After a while, Shitou Niang burst into tears and slapped her thigh while crying, saying, "Oh God, why don't you give us a way out? Both of the laborers in the family are injured, and one of them can't go to the fields for three months. Even if we rent the land, we can't plant it. How can we live?"
The two injured people lying on the bed also had tears on their faces, and they hated themselves for being useless and unable to do the work.
Zheng Sisi and Sheng Zhen heard the crying and came over. They found that the servants had already moved Shitou and his father to a side room and made them lie down. This should be the room where the servants lived, and all the items were available inside.
Zheng Sisi entered the room and saw the family of three crying, so she asked Qingfeng, who was accompanying the doctor to treat the wound, "Qingfeng, what happened?"
Qingfeng replied, "County Lady, the doctor said Uncle Liu's legs need to be healed and he can't walk for three months. His family is worried that they won't be able to work and harvest, and won't be able to make a living."
After hearing this, Zheng Sisi said to the three members of the Liu family, "Uncle Liu, just rest and recover. It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. The doctor is not kidding you. If you don't recover your leg, you will be lame for the rest of your life.
Don't worry about having no money to live on. I will distribute the property of the Fang family to the villagers, and I will also pay for your family's medical expenses, which will be enough for your family to live on."
Aunt Liu said sadly: "The child's father can't work in the fields and needs someone to take care of him. I don't know if Shitou's injury will affect his work. We won't feel at ease unless we rent some land and save some food."
