Chapter 46 – Showing skills (I)
Yan Xiaosi had a serious expression on her face, “Dazhuang, I’m not joking. My father was a renowned scholar in Shaoyao Village and I have read all the medical books he left behind.”
“Ouch, it hurts so much!”
Mrs. Wang kept crying out in pain, her face turning pale. It seemed like she had really fallen hard.
Tian Dazhuang had originally planned to ask Ge Dongshu from the Ge family to come and take a look at Mrs. Wang, but Ge Dongshu had always been arrogant and liked to take advantage of others. Now that Mrs. Wang was in so much pain, even if he could get Ge Dongshu to come, the consultation fee would definitely not be low.
“Xiaosi, do you really know medicine?”
Mrs. Wang’s money was hard-earned and Tian Dazhuang couldn’t bear to give it to Ge Dongshu.
Yan Xiaosi confidently patted her chest, “Dazhuang, I swear that if I’m lying to you, I’ll never be able to marry a wife in my life.”
Anyway, she wasn’t a man and didn’t need to marry a wife, so making this vow was like making none at all.
Seeing her seriousness, Tian Dazhuang turned to Mrs. Wang and said, “Mom, how about letting Xiaosi try? If she can’t cure you, I’ll go ask for Doctor Ge’s help.”
Mrs. Wang was also reluctant to spend money. If Yan Xiaosi could cure her, she would be more than happy.
She glanced at Yan Xiaosi and shouted in pain, “I’m about to die from the pain. Yan Xiaosi, hurry up.”
Yan Xiaosi walked up to Mrs. Wang and smiled, “Aunt Tian, I’ll help you with your treatment. In return, you’ll have to lend me your ox cart tomorrow.”
“Lend the ox cart? Yan Xiaosi, you wish.”
Mrs. Wang didn’t even think about it before rejecting Yan Xiaosi’s request outright.
Yan Xiaosi shrugged her shoulders, “Aunt Tian, in that case, there’s nothing I can do.”
“Dazhuang, you should hurry and ask Doctor Ge to come. It’s getting late, so bring more money, and maybe Doctor Ge will come.”
Mrs. Wang had fallen quite hard just now. Not only did she dislocate her left arm but also hurt her leg. Yan Xiaosi assumed she couldn’t go to Ge Dongshu’s house, so she mischievously reminded Tian Dazhuang and then pretended to leave.
Tian Dazhuang hurriedly stopped her before persuading Mrs. Wang.
“Mom, Xiaosi is only borrowing our ox cart for a day. It’s better than spending a lot of money to ask Doctor Ge for help.”
Mrs. Wang was good at calculating and weighing her options. Compared to spending a lot of money to ask Ge Dongshu for help, she decided to let Yan Xiaosi give it a try. At most, all it would cost her is lending her ox cart to Yan Xiaosi for a day.
“Yan Xiaosi, can you really treat my arm?”
However, she still didn’t quite believe in Yan Xiaosi’s medical skills and looked at her with some suspicion.
Yan Xiaosi walked up to her with a smile, grabbed her left arm, and while she was asking the question, twisted her arm, making a cracking sound in the kitchen.
“Ah! Ah!”
Following that were Mrs. Wang’s screams, like a pig being slaughtered. She glared at Yan Xiaosi and shouted, “Yan Xiaosi, are you treating me or trying to kill me?”
Hearing Mrs. Wang’s screams, Tian Dazhuang’s heart was on edge. He urged Yan Xiaosi, “Xiaosi, be gentle with your hands.”
Yan Xiaosi released Mrs. Wang’s arm, clapped her hands, and said, “Aunt Tian, try moving your arm and see if you can move it now.”
After the intense pain subsided, Mrs. Wang calmed down. Following Yan Xiaosi’s instructions, she carefully moved her left arm. To her surprise, the previously stiff arm could indeed move. Although it still hurt a bit, it was much better than before.
“It’s fine now. I can move my hand.”
Tian Dazhuang looked at Yan Xiaosi with disbelief.
“Xiaosi, you’re really quite something. With these skills, why don’t you set up a stall in Daxing Town and treat people?”
