His own medicine to stop the bleeding was not worth a few dollars, but the prescriptions from the Ji Shi Tang were hard to find. The doctor was busy waving his hand, “No, save it for the patient to buy something tasty.”
The Song family didn’t want to do it, but the doctors in the countryside were all treating the poor, and their consultation fees and medical fees didn’t add up to a few coins.
Master Song said, “Lin’er has to keep bothering you, if you don’t take it this time, we’ll be too embarra*sed to come back to you next time.”
At this point, the doctor didn’t say anything else, “Alright, I’ll take the money for the medicine to stop the bleeding, but the consultation fee will be waived, if you feel bad about it, you can give it to me later when your family has more money.”
Master Song was so grateful that he personally escorted him out the door.
Inside the house, Grandma Song looked at her unconscious eldest son and couldn’t help but redden her eyes, she had been holding on strongly with the doctor present just now.
Xu wanted to get up, but after propping herself up on the edge of the bed and moving twice, she didn’t get up, looking at Song Wan Yue with a white face, “Yue’er, wet the sweat towel, I’ll wipe your father’s face.”
Song Wan Yue went to the water basin and wet a sweat towel and handed it to her. Xu took it and gently wiped Song Lin’s face, but as she did so, tears fell from her eyes.
For so many years, from the time he had known Song Lin to the time he was married, Song Lin had always been alive and well, rarely even ill, and now he was lying on the bed, his life and death uncertain.
With a low sob, he spoke, “Open your eyes and look at me.”
Grandma Song’s eyes were originally only red, but when she heard her cry, tears also spurted out, and she was busy covering her mouth with her hand, holding back the sound of crying.
Song Wan Yue spoke softly, “I asked, the doctor at Ji Shi Tang said that as long as he finished the medicine and ginseng for the next few days, my father would be fine.”
“I know.”
Xu still gently rubbed Song Lin’s face, “How could your father leave us behind, he will definitely wake up.”
“You’re right ……”
Grandma Song also choked up and spoke, “Lin’er will definitely wake up, he still has to watch Yue’er grow up.”
Outside the courtyard, Elder Song sent the doctor away and did not immediately go back inside, but found a secluded place to sit down and wipe his tears.
The moment Song Lin was brought back covered in blood, he almost followed him, thinking he was going to lose this son. Fortunately, fortunately, God saw their pity and let them off the hook.
“The medicine is ready!”
Inside the courtyard, Song Shu shouted.
Elder Song immediately wiped away his tears, got up nimbly and went back inside.
Xu held the medicine bowl, scooped up a spoonful of medicine, blew gently and carefully fed it into Song Lin’s mouth, leaving the medicine juice down the corners of his mouth.
The people were a little anxious, if the medicine didn’t go in, the person wouldn’t get better.
“How can this be done?”
Song Wangyue thought of an idea, “Let’s all go out and let my mother feed the medicine to my father.”
“How can we feed it, big brother can’t drink it at all now.”
Song Wan Yue glanced at Song San Xiao, “I’ll tell my mother the method.”
Song San Xiao wanted to ask more, but Song Shu covered his mouth and dragged him out, followed by Elder Song and Grandma Song.
Song Wan Yue leaned down and whispered a few words in Xu’s ear, which immediately turned red.
“This is the only way to go for now.”
Xu’s voice was thin and mosquito-like, “I know, you can go out first.”
Song Wangyue left the house, leaving Xu alone in the room, Xu blushed, took a sip of medicine, lowered her head and fed it into Song Lin’s mouth, waiting for him to swallow it all before raising her head, took another sip and continued feeding.
It took a long time to finish feeding a bowl of medicine. Xu dried the corners of Song Lin’s mouth before wiping her own clean and said, “You’ve finished feeding, come in.”
Song San Xiao was just about to enter the house, but was dragged back by Song Shu.
He became anxious, “Second brother, what are you dragging me for?”
Song Shu hated him and covered his mouth again, forcibly dragging him to the side, wanting to teach him a few words, but thinking that he hadn’t married a daughter-in-law yet and didn’t know anything about this, he sighed, “You say that you just know how to fool around all day, and you haven’t even got a daughter-in-law.”
The Song family’s original conditions were more than enough to get a daughter-in-law for Song Sanxiao, but he didn’t do his job and went out to fool around when he couldn’t see.
Grandma Song was determined not to give him a daughter-in-law, so as not to delay a good girl.
Song Sanxiao did not think so, “What’s so great about a daughter-in-law, can she be used as food or drink? I can do whatever I want now, one person can eat and the whole family can’t go hungry.”
Song Shu put a big hand on the back of his head, “What nonsense, how can a man not marry a daughter-in-law?”
The back of Song San Xiao’s head hurt, he wanted to protest, but when he looked at his second brother’s big, bushy hand, he didn’t dare to say anything, so he covered the back of his head and silently went back to the house to eat snacks.
He covered the back of his head and silently went back inside to eat his snack. Grandma and Elder Song didn’t go inside either. They were relieved to know that the medicine had been fed. Their tense spirits were relieved and their bodies were a little weak, so they went back to their houses to wait for news.
Only Song Wangyue entered the house, poured Xu a gla*s of water for her to drink and pulled the wooden stool over to keep her company in silence.
Until it was about to get dark, Song Lin’s eyelashes moved, Xu kept her eyes on him, saw it, and hurriedly shouted, “Dangjia’s ……”
Song Wangyue looked over, Song Lin’s eyelids moved, and then slowly opened his eyes.
Xu cried tears of joy, “You’re finally awake.”
Song Wan Yue had already gotten up and walked out, “Grandpa and Grandma, my father has woken up! Second uncle, bring the ginseng soup over here!”
Everyone ran out of the house at the sound of the voice.
Song San Xiao ran the fastest and was halfway across the courtyard, out of the corner of her eye she saw her parents stumbling out and hurriedly turned in a different direction and ran over to hold one arm around the other, “Slow down guys, since big brother is awake, he’s fine.”
The ginseng soup had been boiling for a long time and had been warming in the pot, Song Shu took a few big steps into the kitchen, lifted the lid and brought the ginseng soup out and brought it over carefully.
“Father, Mother, I’ve made you worry.”
Song Lin’s voice was weak.
“Quickly stop talking and drink the ginseng soup first.”
Song Lin had just woken up and hadn’t reacted yet. Only when Xu had fed the bowl of ginseng soup with half of it left did he come back to his senses, “Where did you get the ginseng soup at home?”
He couldn’t have been clearer about the family’s current situation, as the entire family’s money did not add up to more than five taels of silver.
“I borrowed the silver to buy it.”
Grandma Song didn’t hide it, “When you get better and sell your hunting, we’ll pay them back.”
Listening to her tone, Song Lin thought that the ginseng had only cost a few taels of silver and that he would soon finish drinking it.
“Father ……”
Song Wangyue grabbed his hand and took the opportunity to take his pulse.
Song Lin thought she was frightened and lifted his hand to touch her head, “Father is fine, tomorrow when he wakes up from his sleep, Father will be alive again.”
“The doctor has prescribed medicine for you for three days.”
Song Lin’s hand stiffened and retracted sarcastically, giggling at his precious daughter, “Then father will sleep for two more days, and he will go hunting in the mountains the day after tomorrow.”
