Chapter 59: Seeking Zong Yu

and run away ahead of time."Wang Yan'er hurriedly asked, "What should we do now Should we just let our mother-in-law's death go uninvestigated so as not to alert anyone"Fang Jinshi shook her head, a...The elder patriarch also valued his eldest grandson very much. If he knew that his eldest son hadn't brought the doctor back, even if he had to swallow his pride, he would go to others and ask for help to find a doctor elsewhere.

After pondering for a moment, the elder said, “It's already dark; it's too late to go find a doctor now.”

"Your mother-in-law used to be a fortune teller. It's said she cured many difficult ailments in children with folk remedies. Little Tiger, hold your child and let's go find her."

Zong Hu frowned, “Grandfather, can Mrs. Daohua really cure Xiao Xiao Hu”

Wang Yannei held her child tightly.

The elder glanced at the child's face, his heart ached. He felt that this child was probably beyond saving, too much time had been wasted.

"Right now, who else could we possibly turn to If you carry the child into town, he's as good as dead."

Everyone in the village knows how dangerous mountain roads can be at night. Zong Pingkang and Zong Yulian were just plain lucky yesterday evening that they didn't meet with an accident.

And on the other side of the mountain, the commotion caused by Zongyu's brothers killing the wolves probably scared away other beasts that came out to hunt at night.

"A dead horse can be treated as a live one, better than watching the child just disappear."

Zong Hu went to hug the child, but Wang Yaner refused.

"A fortune teller won't cure you, Tiger Brother, please beg me, let's go find a doctor."

"If you encounter wild beasts, you can push me out to feed them."

Zong Hu forcefully took the child over and comforted his daughter-in-law.

"It's okay, I'm here. I won't let anything happen to the child. Just stay home and wait."

Mrs. Wu said sarcastically from the side, "Right now, rice flowers are skyrocketing in price. It's so expensive that people who seek treatment only need to pay with grain and don't even need money."

"If we could get a doctor to come, do you think we'd be happy to go find rice flowers"

The Zong family hurried over, holding the child, to knock on the door of the Dahua family.

After finishing dinner, Fang Jinshu pounded the herbs she had collected and applied them to Zong Yu's wounds.

If it weren't for his awkward movements when he was chopping wood in the evening, this man would have tried to hide the fact that his shoulders and arms were so severely scratched.

"You're not afraid of getting an infection"

"Don't you want arms"

"Or are you just not trusting my medical skills at all, that's why you haven't been telling me the truth"

When the two brothers came back, she clearly asked him if he was hurt. This guy lied to her and said it was a minor injury, no big deal.

Looking at the deep wound before him, this was considered a serious injury among flesh wounds.

Dig deeper, and you'll rip through the innards.

Zong Yu's face turned crimson, as if genuinely angry. He stammered nervously to explain himself.

"No, it isn't."

"I believe in your medical skill."

"This kind of wound really isn't a problem. In hot weather, it heals slower and might get infected or feverish, but it won't kill you."

"I've always gotten through this way, I'm used to it."

Now that Jade Lotus is gone, afterwards mother and the household chores will depend on you even more.

"I just don't want to be a bother."

"This wound doesn't need to be worried about, it will really get better on its own with time."

Zong Yu, fearing she wouldn't believe him, rolled up his shirt to reveal his solid chest and abdomen. He pointed to a scar about ten centimeters long on his side and said.

"See, even that long wound healed itself back then."

Fang Jinshu was so surprised she couldn't speak, raising her hand to touch the scar, her fingertips trembling slightly.

"You stubborn fool, enduring so much pain."

This man, what kind of life has he been living all these years

She knew Zong Yu must be having a hard time, and now it seemed he was suffering even more than she had imagined.

What kind of hardship and pain does one shoulder alone How could there be such a foolish man in the world.

Lien Fang-jin herself hadn't noticed, but when she saw the scar, her eyes were already slightly moist.

She had just finished putting medicine on Zongyu's wounds when Tiezhu, the village head's son, knocked on Zongyu's door.

"Uncle Zong, are you home"

"My father came to ask me to find you to discuss the matter of digging a water channel. He hopes you can also help."

Zong Yu crawled out of the house, Fang Jinxiu following closely behind.

When Tiezhu saw a clean and neat girl appear, he was stunned.

"Brother Zong, who is this"

Very few people in the village knew about Zongyu's marriage. Zongyu disliked Tiezhu's gaze lingering on his wife, so he stepped forward, blocking her and said with an unreadable expression.

Just call me sister-in-law.Well, you could just have some wine before going back to your room every day from now on."Fang Jianren was almost driven to tears by anger."You! You, Fang Mingxia, you are too much, wow wow wow, Fath...
