Chapter 135 People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong.
"Village chief, I've borrowed the ox cart..." The villager who borrowed the ox cart ran back panting, pulling the cart.
"Peichun's family, I have explained everything to you. We will send the person to the hospital immediately."
The village chief explained again and again to Secretary Liu's wife.
Secretary Liu's wife nodded and said, "Let's send him to the hospital..."
"Okay then. If anything happens on the way, you can't blame the villagers for not trying to save him." Then he turned to the villagers in the office and said, "Come on, carry him onto the bullock cart and send him to the hospital for emergency treatment."
Several villagers brought a bundle of straw from the brigade's warehouse and spread it on the ox cart. They hurriedly lifted the person onto the cart and dragged him to the military hospital on the island.
Before the ox cart passed the He family's door, Secretary Liu's parents caught up with them. Old Mrs. Liu started to curse Secretary Liu's wife.
“You son of a bitch, do you want to kill my Peichun so that you can remarry that pig butcher in your village?
If Peichun dies, there will be no room for you and your bastard in this family.
If you want to get out, no one will stop you. Hurry up and marry your bastard instead of harming my son here."
“Mom, I’ve been explaining this for more than ten years.
There really was nothing like what the rumors said about me and the pig butcher in our village, except that he came to my house to propose marriage that year.
Sitian is really Peichun’s child, not a bastard.”
People say that family disgrace should not be made public. Secretary Liu's daughter-in-law never expected that her mother-in-law would talk about these things in front of so many people.
She did date the village butcher for a while, but her family did not agree, so they stopped dating.
Later, through a matchmaker, she married Liu Peichun.
After I got married, my mother-in-law heard from somewhere about my affair with the village butcher and has been talking about it for more than ten years.
It just so happened that Liu Sitian was born prematurely that year, less than eight months after giving birth, and she couldn't even explain it.
If Liu Peichun had not been a village cadre and was afraid of the negative impact of divorce, the two would have divorced long ago.
It was also because of this incident that a grudge arose between him and Liu Peichun. For many years, the relationship between the two was lukewarm, and he and Liu Sitian suffered a lot of grievances in the Liu family.
It was not until the birth of the youngest son that the relationship between the family members eased slightly.
Liu Peichun's attitude towards her changed. The mother-in-law no longer mentioned the incident that happened that year, and their life became ordinary.
I don't know how I made my shrewish mother-in-law angry today, and she brought up things from the past again.
When Old Lady Liu said that in front of the villagers, the one who couldn't stand it the most was Liu Sitian, and tears of grievance immediately flowed from her eyes.
She has been called a bastard at home for more than ten years, and now I'm afraid that everyone in the village will call her a bastard.
People in Guangze Island knew something about Secretary Liu's family affairs. Some gossipers had talked about them behind his back in the past, but as time passed, they forgot about them.
If Old Lady Liu hadn't brought it up today, no one would have mentioned this matter for more than a decade.
"Village leader, don't listen to her.
I am the one who makes the decision about my son. Please ask everyone to send Peichun to the He family. If anything happens, my Liu family will not cause trouble to anyone in the He family."
The village chief raised his eyebrows. Although this old lady Liu had a very good relationship with her daughter-in-law and was known as a notorious evil mother-in-law in the village, she was also a straightforward person.
She said that she would not cause trouble to the He family if anything happened, and she really would not cause trouble to the He family.
“Aunt, sending it to the He family is just everyone’s suggestion.
You have sent the person there, but whether Xuan Xuan will accept him or not is another matter.
Otherwise, let's just send him to the hospital as Peichun's family said."
Although Old Lady Liu was a straightforward person, she knew that Secretary Liu's wife was a difficult person, and she didn't want to cause trouble for Zuo Zixuan.
"Village chief, just help me drag the man over. I'll go and beg that girl."
"This..., Auntie, this is not good, right?"
"If you keep dragging your feet, I'll really blame you if anything goes wrong."
"Well, then, okay..."
How come this is a threat?
The village chief was helpless. He looked at Secretary Liu's wife and asked the villagers to drag her to the He family.
"Mom..., He Xiaoer's wife is not even a barefoot doctor, maybe..." Secretary Liu's wife stopped her anxiously.
"roll……
Take your bastard and get out of the Liu family right now."
Old Lady Liu was furious. Even at this time, her daughter-in-law was still trying to stop her.
The conflict between her and her daughter-in-law was not just because she concealed her affair with the butcher from the same village before she got married.
But this woman is too cunning and is always trying to cheat and cheat. She always wants to take things from her parents' home every other day and she can't support the family at all.
If it weren't for the fact that Liu Peichun was a village cadre and her grandson was still young, she would have divorced her long ago and let her go back to her parents' home.
After Old Lady Liu yelled for a while, Secretary Liu's wife could only shut up and keep silent in grievance.
The village chief didn't dare to say a word and asked the villagers to drag Secretary Liu to the He family.
Snap, snap...
Old Lady Liu knocked on the He family’s door.
It was Aunt Zhang who opened the door. She was a little confused when she saw the scene outside.
"Sister-in-law, what's going on?"
Old Lady Liu said to Aunt Zhang's son with red eyes, "Sister, my Peichun fell down. Could you please ask Miss Xuan to take a look at him?
Thank you, elder sister, for being here..."
Aunt Zhang stretched her neck to look at Liu Peichun, whose face was pale on the cart. She thought he was dead and shuddered with fear.
"Old sister, wait here, I'll go call her."
"Ah..., thank you for your help."
In two minutes, all members of the He family came out.
Before Old Lady Liu could ask for help, Zuo Zixuan saw Secretary Liu lying on a cart like a dead man, and hurried out to check.
"What happened? How did you get hurt like this?"
The village chief gave a brief account of the matter.
Zuo Zixuan called out, "Quick, carry the person into the pharmacy."
The village chief ordered the man to be carried into the He family.
Just as Secretary Liu's wife was about to speak, Old Lady Liu shouted in a stern voice:
"If you dare to say a word that doesn't please me, don't blame me for being rude to you."
Secretary Liu’s daughter-in-law could only shut her mouth in grievance.
She wanted to go in with everyone, but was stopped by Old Lady Liu, who wouldn't let her in and told her to either wait at the door or go home.
There were misunderstandings between her and Secretary Liu, but as a couple, they are bound by love for each other for a hundred days, so she could not let it go.
If something really happened to Secretary Liu, even if she and her daughter were not kicked out of the Liu family, their lives would only be more difficult than before.
The villagers and Liu's family were reluctant to leave after sending the person to the pharmacy.
Zuo Zixuan didn't chase them away. If they wanted to watch, they could stay here and watch. She had to hurry to save people right now and didn't have time to waste on talking to them.
The first step she took was still acupuncture, and then she wrote a prescription and asked Ning Rong to get the medicine.
"Rongrong, take some of He Fan's medicine and give it to Secretary Liu."
Ning Rong understood immediately, took the prescription, looked at the medicine on it, and said with embarrassment:
"Sister, you give He Fan's medicine to Secretary Liu. What will He Fan use?"
“Save lives first!
As for He Fan, let Dad figure it out later."
"That's okay..."
The two of them acted out this scene in unison, not to make the Liu family remember the favor of the He family, but to tell everyone here that the family only had these medicines because of He Fan's illness.
Zuo Zixuan didn't want to waste his efforts in vain. If he saved the person, he would be reported by someone with ulterior motives.
After giving the patient an IV drip, Ning Rong treated the patient's external injuries, and the patient woke up in about an hour.
The villagers were surprised and delighted to see the man wake up.
He Xiaoer's wife is really amazing. No wonder people on the island are saying that He Xiaosan's cancer is about to be cured. It seems to be true.
After waking up, Secretary Liu looked around and saw that the villagers were surrounding him. He asked weakly, "What happened?"
"Oh, Lao Liu, you finally woke up..."
"Son, are you awake? You almost scared me to death..."
"Secretary Liu is awake, really awake..."
Everyone expressed their concern and greetings to Secretary Liu.
"Secretary Liu, do you feel dizzy and want to vomit now?" Zuo Zixuan asked while standing beside the bed.
"I'm not dizzy, just a little painful." Secretary Liu said weakly.
Zuo Zixuan nodded, "That's not a big problem. Just get an IV for a few days and rest for a week and you'll be fine."
"Son, you fell down and it was girl Xuan who saved you." Old Lady Liu interrupted.
Secretary Liu wanted to sit up and thank Zuo Zixuan, but Zuo Zixuan held his shoulders.
"Don't move, just lie down..."
"Xuanxuan, thank you..."
Zuo Zixuan didn't say any polite words, just smiled.
After the drip, Old Lady Liu took the five dollars and insisted on giving it to Zuo Zixuan as medical expenses.
Zuo Zixuan knew that although the villagers on the island seemed to have large courtyards and high walls in their homes, their economic conditions were not good. However, she really couldn't refuse, so she symbolically took one dollar.
Before leaving, the Liu family thanked her profusely.
At dawn the next day, a long line formed in front of the He family’s gate.
Zuo Zixuan was still asleep when she was awakened by a knock on the door.
"Xuanxuan, there's a long line of people lining up at the door of our house, all claiming to be here to see you for medical treatment. What do you think we should do?"
Zuo Zixuan was also confused. Why did so many people suddenly come to see him for medical treatment?
"I guess everyone in the village has heard about Secretary Liu's incident, so they all came to see you this morning."
Zuo Zixuan sighed deeply. It is true that people are afraid of becoming famous just like pigs are afraid of getting fat.
She couldn't sleep, so how could she let others sleep peacefully? She slammed the doors of Ning Rong and He Chu's rooms and pulled them up.
Ning Rong has always wanted to learn Chinese medicine, so this is a good opportunity to teach her.
He Chu was simply forced to do hard labor to collect medicine.
He Chu had been with Zuo Zixuan for a long time and had memorized the locations of the medicines. He was also very good at dispensing the medicines.
Zuo Zixuan only charged a symbolic fee of one or two cents to the villagers who came to see her for treatment. For some illnesses that could be cured with a few slices of ginger, she would not charge a penny.
There is no charge for acupuncture.
She charged cheaply, and of course she didn't give much medicine. But her medicine was effective. For common fever and cold, she would give a few injections and a dose of medicine and the patient would be almost cured in two days.
Zuo Zixuan's reputation for curing diseases with her medicine spread throughout Guangze Island.
Many people from other villages would come from far away to see Zuo Zixuan for medical treatment.
Zuo Zixuan had no evidence, but no villagers reported her.
Everyone knows that Zuo Zixuan did not make any money from them. He just charged a symbolic amount for the medicine, and might even lose money.
So the villagers of Guangze Island are very grateful to her.
Just because no one from Guangze Island reported it doesn’t mean that no one outside Guangze Island reported it.
