Chapter 401 The Hunter's Little Darling 62
Seeing that Tu Shen was about to close the door, Ma Erya became anxious.
"Hey, don't close the door, I have important business to attend to."
"Get to the point." Although Tu Shen stopped closing the door, he only opened it a crack, urging her to speak quickly.
"I've come looking for you several times these past two days, but you've never been home. Shuanzi has hurt her leg again, and we need you to go check on her." Ma Erya said, glancing inside, "Is she still not up?"
"This is none of your business. If you need to see a doctor, we'll be there in a bit." Tu Shen's attitude was cold.
Since she had important business to attend to, Ma Erya didn't linger there and quickly went back, reminding Tu Shen and Xie Qingyu to hurry over.
Normally, doctors would come to your home to see a doctor, but since Shuanzi had injured his leg and couldn't come over, we had to go to his home.
Tu Shen simply ladled out the cooked food and let it cool so Xie Qingyu could eat it as soon as she woke up.
Then he went in to wake Xie Qingyu up.
Sleeping outside is not as peaceful as sleeping at home. Xie Qingyu finally got a good night's sleep after returning home, but Tu Shen woke her up.
"Ma Erya just came over and said that Shuanzi hurt his leg again and wants you to come and take a look." Tu Shen gently woke her up and told her what was wrong.
Xie Qingyu managed to regain some consciousness, and then Tu Shen helped her wash up and eat before she went over.
Since they had already stopped for two days and it wasn't an extremely urgent matter, they didn't go quickly.
But it didn't take very long.
Xie Qingyu only regained consciousness on the way.
"Dr. Xie is here." There were many people in Ma Erya's family, and they all greeted Xie Qingyu when she arrived.
Ma Erya didn't say anything, but led them to the inner room to look at the brush holder.
This time, it was the same leg that I injured before.
"He fell again a couple of days ago. He said it didn't hurt as much as before, but he still can't walk. Can you tell what's wrong?"
Xie Qingyu didn't say anything, but went over to check first.
He then frowned, "It's that same place again. I might end up crippled."
Upon hearing this, Shuanzi's mother became agitated and immediately started throwing whatever she was holding at Ma Erya, disregarding the presence of so many outsiders.
"What do you mean? I didn't think it was as serious as last time, so how come I'm lame now?" Shuanzi couldn't believe it.
"Your injury last time was too serious. You should have taken good care of yourself. But it doesn't seem to be going very well. Logically, this shouldn't be the case. Shouldn't the whole winter have been enough for you to recover?" Xie Qingyu asked, somewhat puzzled.
They don't go out much during the winter, how did they get into this state?
"What else could it be? It's this shameless girl who drags Shuanzi up the mountain all day long, saying she's looking for some herbs and ginseng. She makes Shuanzi carry her back and forth, without caring about Shuanzi's legs at all!" Shuanzi's mother really hit her, even pulling Ma Erya's hair.
She truly regretted it. All she wanted was for Shuanzi to get married, but who knew he would end up marrying someone like this.
He doesn't do any housework and often comes up with strange and unusual ideas, always going against Shuanzi's mother.
However, once Shuanzi brings his new wife home, he will definitely spoil her, giving Ma Erya the confidence to challenge Shuanzi's mother.
However, even Shuanzi gradually found it hard to keep up with Ma Erya.
He was always busy, yet he was still not satisfied. He complained that he didn't hunt enough prey and insisted on going up the mountain with him. The last time he was injured was because of Ma Erya.
This time was no different. She insisted that there were good medicinal herbs in the mountains that could be sold for a lot of money, more than hunting, and asked Shuanzi to take her to find them. As a result, she rolled down in an unfamiliar place, and Shuanzi injured his leg again while protecting her.
“How can you blame me? He didn’t stand properly and fell. I didn’t want him to hurt his leg.” Ma Erya argued as she ran, then shifted the blame to Xie Qingyu. “If anyone is to blame, it’s her for not being home before. After Shuanzi injured his leg, I went to their house twice and no one was home. If they had seen a doctor then, he could definitely have been cured.”
“I didn’t say I could cure it right away, and whether I’m home or not is my business. If you think there’s a problem, then don’t come for treatment. I’m not a professional doctor, and I haven’t charged you any money for my services. I have no obligation to be on call all the time.” Xie Qingyu said as she stood up.
Ma Erya remained calm, but everyone else panicked.
There were no doctors on the mountain, so Xie Qingyu's presence provided some psychological comfort, as it meant they wouldn't have to wait to die if something happened.
If Xie Qingyu stops seeking medical treatment because of Ma Erya's two sentences, who will she turn to if she gets sick herself?
"No, Dr. Xie, she just had a brain injury back then and can't speak. We all know that, so how can we blame you? It's just that they were careless."
"Yes, don't be angry. We feel at ease knowing you're here to treat our children. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what to do when my youngest son was sick last time. I thought we wouldn't be able to raise him again."
They had many children, but only a few were able to survive.
The most common cause of premature death is illness.
Based on this calculation, Xie Qingyu could indeed save her life.
"I'll kill you!" Shuanzi's mother was the most agitated.
She was already angry when Xie Qingyu said that Shuanzi's leg might not be curable, but Ma Erya said something like that.
This would be like kicking Xie Qingyu out directly; what would happen to her son's leg then?
Just as Shuanzi's mother was about to lose her temper, someone came up to persuade Xie Qingyu not to argue with Ma Erya.
After slamming Ma Erya twice, Shuanzi's mother begged Xie Qingyu to help Shuanzi think of a solution.
Xie Qingyu turned to look at Shuanzi, whose gaze fell on Ma Erya and was not friendly.
Xie Qingyu raised an eyebrow; it seemed that Ma Erya's future days were not going to be easy.
"I'll try my best, but it's uncertain whether I can fully recover. I must take good care of myself during this period. I can't put weight on this leg, not even throughout the spring."
At this point, whatever Xie Qingyu said was law.
The stick that had been removed from his leg last time hadn't been thrown away yet, and Xie Qingyu had already tied it back on him this time.
Shuanzi's mother reluctantly brought over two pheasants.
It's still alive; Shuanzi caught it recently while he was up in the mountain.
Spring is the perfect time for hunting, so their family has had a decent catch these past few days.
But the thought of Xie Qingyu saying that Shuanzi's legs couldn't walk all spring was hard to accept.
Xie Qingyu ignored what they were thinking, had Tu Shen pack up the things, and left.
She's given all the necessary instructions, and she can't control whether things will get better or not.
"You wouldn't deliberately leave his leg untreated, would you?" Ma Erya asked as Xie Qingyu prepared to leave, standing outside the crowd.
Upon hearing this, Xie Qingyu turned around with a slight smile on her lips, "Why do you think that? I have no grudge against him."
