Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In the bullock-cart, Old Madam Lin kept crying.
What would she do if something happened to Lin Yuanshan?
From time to time, she would even curse her heartless eldest and second sons.
After some time, they finally arrived at Qingshi Town.
After entering the city, Fourth Uncle Lin rode the ox-cart to the clinic.
He knocked on the door of the clinic for a long time before someone opened it.
Knowing that they were here to see a doctor and that it was an emergency, the a.s.sitant let them in despite his bad mood.
Then, he called the doctor out.
The doctor examined Lin Yuanshan’s condition and frowned.
“Why didn’t you send him here earlier?” He asked Lin Dachui and the others.
Lin Dachui wiped his tears.
“Is there still hope?”
Old Madam Lin’s expression changed when she heard what Dachui Lin said.
“He will definitely be fine! Stop talking nonsense!”
The sharp voice made the doctor frown.
“I can save him.” He couldn’t bear to see the old couple worry too much.
Upon hearing this, Lin Dachui and Old Madam Lin heaved a sigh of relief.
“However, I’m afraid that his legs…” The doctor looked at Lin Yuanshan’s injured leg and sighed.
The wound on this person’s leg was extremely deep, and the bones were dislocated. It seemed to be caused by the trampling of a horse’s hoof.
Such injuries were destined to be incurable.
After treatment, he would be considered lucky if he could walk.
“What’s wrong with his leg?” Before Lin Dachui could say anything, Old Madam Lin had asked sharply.
Although she did not know much about the imperial examination, she knew that disabled people were not qualified to take it.
If something really happened to his leg, it would be over.
Lin Dachui also nervously looked at the doctor.
The doctor frowned again.
“His leg was trampled by the horse’s hoof, and his bones were broken and deformed. Even if 1 can help him put it back into place, 1 can’t fully heal him.”
“Best case scenario is that he could walk with a limp.”
“What? You said my son will become a cripple?!” Old Madam Lin was so angry that she looked at the doctor angrily.
“You quack! Don’t talk nonsense if you don’t have the skills! My son is a scholar. In the future, he will take the examination. How could he become a cripple?!” As she spoke, she looked like she was going to fight the doctor to the death.
The doctor was so frightened that he took a few steps back.
It was only when Fourth Uncle Lin and Lin Dachui came forward and pulled Old Madam Lin back that her expression calmed down a little.
“Crazy woman!” He said to Old Madam Lin.
Before Old Madam Lin could continue, the doctor said, “I can’t treat him. Hurry up and leave!”
If it weren’t because they were so anxious, he wouldn’t have woken up so late at night to help them.
His kindness was not rewarded and he was even scolded.
Lin Dachui’s expression changed and he was about to speak.
However, Old Madam Lin interrupted him.
“Let’s go! Yuanshan doesn’t need a quack like you to treat him!”
“Let’s go find someone who can help!” Old Madam Lin said to Lin Dachui.
Although Lin Dachui did not like Old Madam Lin’s att.i.tude, after hearing the doctor’s words, he also wanted to find another doctor.
Yuanshan cannot be crippled. Otherwise, his future would be gone, and so would theirs.
“Doctor Mo, I’m really embarra.s.sed.” With a red face, Lin Dachui apologized to the doctor.
Doctor Mo was the only doctor in Qingshi Town. He charged the most reasonable fees, and his medical skills were very good.
Although Doctor Mo’s words were inappropriate, he did not want to offend him.
After all, there was still a long way to go…
The doctor glanced at Lin Dachui with disdain.
Then, he turned around and left.
Old Madam Lin was furious when she saw that.
Just as she was about to curse, she was stopped by Lin Dachui. He even gave her a warning look.
Old Madam Lin finally stopped.
“Carry your brother on your back. Let’s go to Huichun Hall in the east of the city!” Lin Dachui said.
Huichun Hall was the largest clinic in Qingshi Town. The doctors there charged a high fee for consultation, so their medical skills must be good.
Fourth Uncle Lin looked at Old Madam Lin questioningly.
Her mother was willing to pay a hefty price for the consultation and medicine fees in Huichun Hall?
“Yes, let’s go to Huichun Hall!” To his surprise, Old Madam Lin answered readily.
Seeing that his parents, who had always been stingy, were actually so willing to give money to his brother, his heart once again surged with injustice.
However, he still carried Lin Yuanshan on his back and left the clinic..
