Chapter 505: Enlighten My Brother

But Chen Hongxia was not so lucky.

She slumped to the ground, her face full of despair.

If my second brother becomes paralyzed, there will be no strong labor force left in the family.

My grandparents are old, and my sister-in-law just gave birth a few months ago. She also has to take care of two little nephews and is completely unable to get away.

How will the family live with the elderly, the weak and the disabled?

"It's not completely incurable." Perhaps he couldn't bear to see the Chen family get too desperate.

Jiang Fubao suddenly changed the subject.

"First wait for his wound to heal, and then I will use silver needles to assist him. Of course, he will also need your long-term care. After all, he can't lie paralyzed in bed for too long, and his legs will atrophy. You need to support him to walk for more than a quarter of an hour every day to train his ability to stand.

However, you must be mentally prepared. He cannot recover in a short period of time. This is a long battle. In addition, I will teach you a few acupuncture points. When he finishes his daily walk, you need to massage to stimulate these acupuncture points."

Jiang Fubao gave the Chen family hope.

As long as it gets better, it doesn’t matter how long it takes.

Old Chen, who had experienced countless things, quickly cheered up.

Chen Hongxia also secretly vowed that as long as her brother was not well, she would be the strong labor force of the family.

Never marry.

"Okay, I'll go prepare and suture him later." In ancient times, wounds were sutured with thread made from sheep intestines or mulberry bark.

Jiang Fubao used the latter.

After stitching the wound in front of the Chen family, she sprinkled some light yellow powder on Chen Tianfeng's wound. It was a healing medicine she made according to an ancient recipe.

Finally, wrap it with a linen bandage.

And you're done.

"Grandpa Chen, it's getting late. I should go home. But Brother Tian Feng can't go back tonight. Let him rest here. If he has a fever at night, it will be very dangerous. He just needs to get through tonight. Who do you think will stay here with him?" Jiang Fubao washed his hands and prepared to go home for dinner.

It was getting dark.

Before leaving, she asked Old Chen.

"I'll stay. If my grandson has a fever, I'll go to the Jiang family to call you, or I can carry him over there." said Old Chen.

"I want to stay too. Grandpa, you are too old to carry my brother. Let me do it." Chen Hongxia quickly interrupted.

"Then you all stay. There are beds here anyway, and there are vegetables in the backyard if you are hungry. You can cook for yourself or buy some. It's up to you. We are all acquaintances, so don't be so formal. There are two servants guarding the clinic. If Brother Tian Feng has a fever, you can go to the backyard and call them.

You can call anyone you want, and ask him to come to my house to find me, and I will come over. Remember, Brother Tian Feng's wound cannot be easily moved, and don't carry him around. As for Jiang Cheng, you go back first and come to pick them up tomorrow morning."

After Jiang Fubao gave his instructions, he left with his second sister's servants.

Jiang Cheng left the city and returned to the village.

Chen Hongxia washed the blood off her hands, then ran to the street with her bulging purse and bought four steamed buns, two for her and two for her grandfather.

This money was saved by her over the years.

She brought all of them because she was afraid that her brother might not have enough money for his medicine.

"Grandpa, eat some steamed buns, otherwise you won't have the strength to lift my brother tomorrow. Don't worry, since Miss Jiang said so, my brother will be able to stand up sooner or later. I believe in her medical skills."

Jiang Fubao's medical skills have conquered Chen Hongxia.

The person she admires most now is Jiang Fubao.

"Well, you should eat too, Hongxia. It's our family that's a burden to you. Grandpa is at home, so don't worry. Next month, I'll ask your sister-in-law to help find a matchmaker for you. You're seventeen now, so it's not good to put it off any longer."

The person who knows Chen Hongxia best is Old Chen.

When he saw his granddaughter's expression just now, he knew that she had made up her mind not to get married.

"Grandpa, my brother is still injured, how can I feel at ease to get married? Don't say that again. If my brother can't stand up, I will be an old maid for the rest of my life."

Chen Hongxia finished her speech stubbornly, turned her head and started eating the steamed buns.

No more talking.

"Hey, kid, your family is a burden to you. Well, just take it one step at a time." Old Chen sighed and shook his head helplessly.

The fine-grain steamed buns that I used to be reluctant to eat, now taste spicy when I put them in my mouth.

Except for going to the toilet, the grandparents and grandchildren basically never set foot in the backyard. They stayed by Chen Tianfeng's side all the time and didn't even prepare to sleep in bed.

They feel that they are dirty, and if they dirty the bedding, it would be a trouble for others.

At this time, Jiang Fubao was already sitting with his family having dinner.

Today's dinner was not prepared by Jiang Ruyi, nor by the maids and cooks.

Instead, it was done by Zhang Jinlan and her three daughters-in-law.

Since moving to town and hiring a bunch of servants, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law rarely cook.

Jiang Tongji almost cried when he ate the food prepared by his mother and grandmother.

After being away for so long, all he ate every day was either dry bread and steamed buns or food from restaurants.

The food in front of me is full of homely flavor.

Jiang Tongji ate three large bowls of food in a row, so much so that his stomach felt uncomfortable at night, and he had to rely on Fubao to give him acupuncture to help him digest the food.

"Brother, if people don't know, they would think you were fleeing from famine." Jiang Fubao pulled out the silver needle, let some blood out of his elder brother, and then mocked him.

"Burp, it's almost time. The food over there is not to my taste. You don't know how much I miss this meal at home." Jiang Tongji burped and immediately felt much better in his stomach.

After not seeing her for a few months, my sister's medical skills have improved.

"Brother, is the provincial examination difficult?" Jiang Fubao put away the silver needle and asked him curiously.

"It's difficult. It's not as easy as I thought. The first question is about the meaning of the scriptures, which is my strong point. I answered it well, but I started to feel tired in the second question. Let alone the third question. Oh, hiccup."

Jiang Tongji wanted to sigh, but was interrupted by a burp.

"It's okay, brother. How old are you? You're already very good. How many scholars of your age can be found in this town? There is only the young master of the Shen family next door. Don't feel disappointed because Brother Bujiu passed the exam this time. You should know that Brother Bujiu had been in the academy for many years before Second Brother went there.

He just doesn't want to learn, it doesn't mean he can't learn. Maybe he is still pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. Look how smooth his path to the imperial examination was. He first passed the examination as a tongsheng, then a xiucai, and then a juren. If nothing unexpected happens in the next year's joint examination, he will definitely be on the list. Even if his brother is unlucky and ranks last, he will still be a jinshi.

You can still become an official, but it just sounds bad. In fact, it's better for you that you didn't pass. Think about it, if you pass this time, you will just be at the bottom. You will definitely fail the next spring exam. It's better for you to study hard and try again in three years. Then you can pass the exam and get a Jinshi degree. How proud you will be."
