"The wound has recovered well, and it can be seen that the snake venom has been almost completely removed. However, because he did not receive treatment immediately after being bitten, there is inevitably some residual venom in the body.
"I'll prescribe a prescription. You'll take it for a few days to clear away the remaining poison, and then nurse it back to health for a few days and it'll be good."
After Shen Tianshu finished speaking, he saw that Mingyu was still looking at him eagerly, and comforted her: "Don't worry, there won't be any root causes of illness."
When Mingyu heard this, he finally broke down in tears and said with a smile, "Thank you, girl."
After confirming that Qiu Jun was fine, Shen Tianshu went back to his hometown first, leaving Mingyu to take care of his brother in the hospital.
Although the medicinal materials in the carriage were not lost, Qiu Jun's clothing and luggage had long been divided up by a group of black-faced men.
Mingyu saw that Qiu Jun didn't need anyone to take care of him, so he planned to go home and get him some clothes and toiletries.
It was a rare occasion for her to come back, and her parents were pleasantly surprised as soon as she entered the house.
"Oh, I just thought something good would happen today, but I didn't expect my daughter to be back." Qiu's mother was washing vegetables in the yard. When she came back, she quickly stood up and wiped her hands on the apron around her waist. With the water in his hand, he came up and said, "Why are you so free today?"
Mingyu said: "I have something to do with my sister-in-law, I will leave immediately."
Although Qiu's mother felt strange, she still said: "Your sister-in-law is looking after the child in the house. You can go in and look for her yourself.
"Are you going to eat at home tonight? If you eat at home, I will go out and add two more dishes."
Qiu Jun is not at home these days, so the old couple and their daughter-in-law eat simply. If Mingyu wants to stay for dinner, the food will definitely not be enough.
"Mom, stop working. I'll be leaving soon."
Mingyu said and walked quickly into the house, and saw the Qiu family's sister-in-law coaxing the children to play on the kang.
"Sister-in-law, I'm going to look after the child for you. Please help me pack some of my brother's clothes, both inside and outside.
"My brother is busy these days and won't be able to come back for the time being. Someone sent me a message saying that he didn't have any clothes to change. I came over quickly to get a few items for him. I have to go back and hand them over immediately."
Hearing this, the Qiu family's sister-in-law didn't think much about it. She put the child into Mingyu's arms. She turned around and took out a piece of furoshiki from the box and spread it on the kang. She packed three sets of clothes from the inside out and put them in. She also asked: “Are three sets enough?”
"It should be almost done." Mingyu was eager to leave. He grabbed the four corners of the furoshiki, tied it and left.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, Father Qiu pulled him aside and asked, "What happened to your elder brother?"
Mingyu was stunned when he heard this, wondering where he had exposed his flaw?
"Dad, my brother is fine..."
"Can you still deceive your father?" Father Qiu puffed his beard and glared, "Why don't you tell me now!"
Mingyu could only say as briefly as possible: "Didn't the eldest brother go out to help the girl with errands? Unexpectedly, he was bitten by a snake on the way back and was delayed for several days before he returned to the city.
"Brother was afraid that you would be worried, so he didn't dare to go home. He asked me to come over and help him get some changes of clothes. He planned to come back after he recovers from his injuries."
Father Qiu's thinking was very clear. He seized on the loophole and asked: "Your eldest brother brought a change of clothes with him when he left. Even if he was bitten by a snake, wouldn't the clothes be worn anymore? Do you need to ask you to come back and get them for him?" Several sets of clothes?”
Mother Qiu became anxious when she heard this. She also put down the dishes she was washing and came over to ask, "What's wrong with your brother? You kid, tell me, you're going to be so worried!"
"Mom, don't worry. My eldest brother is almost healed. Now the girl has placed him in Madam Tong's hospital. He will be fine in a few days."
At this time, the Qiu family's sister-in-law also heard their conversation in the back room. She anxiously hugged the child and came out: "Sister-in-law, I want to go too. Is your elder brother seriously injured?"
Mingyu was helpless. She originally just wanted to come back to help her elder brother get something. Before she came, she thought her excuse was perfect, but her father Qiu saw through it at a glance.
Father Qiu seemed to see through her thoughts and said, "I gave birth to you. Can I tell whether you are lying or not?"
Mingyu was alone when he left, but when he came back he brought a whole family with him.
Qiu Jun said helplessly: "I told you a long time ago that I wouldn't let you go, but you insist on going back to get your clothes. It's okay now. The whole family has been alarmed. So why should I come here to live? I might as well go home to recuperate." never mind."
Mingyu was speechless by what he said.
Father Qiu stepped forward to see his son's condition and saw that he was fine. Then he felt relieved and said, "Isn't it just that he was bitten by a snake? There is nothing to hide from the family.
"If you two always report good news but not bad news like this, how can we believe what you say in the future? Aren't we going to have to worry all the time?"
These words made sense, leaving Qiu Jun and Mingyu speechless to refute. They both admitted their mistakes obediently and said they would never dare to do so again.
The Qiu family's sister-in-law didn't care about all the unreasonable things. She walked directly to Qiu Jun, looked at his swollen face and red eyes, and asked worriedly: "Where is the injury? Let me see!"
Qiu Jun pulled up his trousers to show her the wound, and then wrote lightly: "It's fine. It's almost healed."
The Qiu family's sister-in-law gave the child to her mother-in-law. She looked at Qiu Jun's wound again and again by the bedside, feeling so distressed that she shed tears.
"Okay, it's not a big deal, why cry?" In front of his parents, Qiu Jun felt embarrassed and wanted to push his wife away.
"Didn't you say that you just went out to get some things and would be back soon? How could you be bitten by a poisonous snake when you are fine?" Sister-in-law of the Qiu family choked and said, "If something happened and you want to hide it from the family, can you still say something? truth?"
"Isn't this the truth!" Qiu Jun said, "I just wanted to go to the forest for a while, but I was bitten by a snake. Fortunately, I was discovered and saved in time."
"Then you got hurt like this just to do something for the eldest lady. Did the eldest lady just leave you here and ignore you?"
"What nonsense!" Qiu Jun scolded his wife, "Who said the big girl doesn't care about me!"
Mingyu also said hurriedly: "Sister-in-law, do you know where this place is? This is Mrs. Tong's medical clinic. If the eldest lady doesn't care, do you think my eldest brother can live in our house?"
"Besides, all the medicines that eldest brother is taking for external and internal use are all prescribed by Lady Tong. If it weren't for our girl, you wouldn't be able to get Lady Tong to look at you even with your money."
"As my sister-in-law said, your brother did it because he was doing something for the eldest girl. Isn't that what he should do!" Sister-in-law of the Qiu family said displeased, "Let me tell you, now the family has some savings and the children are older. , I don’t have to hold it and look at it all the time, and I can free up my hands a little bit.
"We might as well use the money to start a small business and open a mom-and-pop shop. We don't expect to make much money. It's enough to make enough food, drink, and clothing for the family."
The Qiu family's conditions were not good at first, so it would be great to have a wife, and there wasn't much to choose from.
Therefore, although the Qiu family's sister-in-law has no bad intentions, she is uneducated, so her vision is inevitably a bit short-sighted, and her behavior is not grand enough.
After she had some savings, she wanted to do some small business. She mentioned it to Qiu Jun in private, but he vetoed it.
At this time, she didn't know whether she was frightened by Qiu Jun's injury or wanted to take the opportunity to win the support of the Qiu family, but she actually brought up the matter again.
