After acupuncture, Grandma Fifth's breathing became much smoother, unlike before, like a leaky bellows. Master Fifth's eyes suddenly softened when he looked at Wei Shichu.
"I will continue acupuncture for half a month to see the effect. By the way, I will also drink the medicine according to my prescription." Wei Shichu pulled out the golden needles from the Fifth Grandma's body, cleaned them, and put them away again.
"Okay, just tell me what medicine you need to prescribe." The Fifth Master said impatiently, "I wonder if you are free during this time? Can you stay at home? In case my wife has any unexpected events after taking the medicine. Condition……"
Hearing his words, Wei Shichu immediately understood that the Fifth Master had already accepted her and found a perfect excuse for her to stay here. Naturally, she would not refuse such kindness, so she smiled and agreed: "Yes. If it’s empty, then I’d like to thank Mr. Fifth for taking it in.”
"Easy to say, easy to say." The Fifth Master waved his hand and his attitude towards her became much kinder.
"By the way, it's not good for Grandma Wu's body and mind to be sick in bed all the time. If the weather is good, someone can take her out to bask in the sun and look at the scenery outside. This will make her feel better. Maybe she will You can think about it one day, and Fifth Master, you can also tell her more happy things and persuade her..." Wei Shichu suggested.
When the Fifth Master heard what she said, he was a little worried: "My wife has been resisting seeing outsiders since she lost control of her hands and feet. Even I don't want to see them. She won't be willing to go out."
"Then I need you to persuade her more, but it's really unsightly to carry her out. It's normal for Grandma Wu not to want to. In this case, why not make a wheelchair so that she can be pushed out of the door while sitting in it? , it won’t hurt your self-esteem too much." Wei Shichu thought about it and suggested.
"Wheelchair? Are you talking about a seat made of wood with two wheels on the bottom? But most wheelchairs like that are useless, bulky and difficult to use. Even if you can sit on it, you have to carry it with two people. Get out..." The fifth master said with a frown.
In fact, when his wife first became paralyzed, he went to inquire about wheelchairs, but he didn't know if it was because few people used them. It was difficult to find them. Even if he found them, they were mostly just decorations, so he gave up. , I didn’t expect Wei Shichu to bring it up again at this moment.
When Wei Shichu heard what he said, he said without hesitation: "If you don't mind, I can personally build a useful wheelchair for Grandma Wu."
"You can even make a wheelchair?" The Fifth Master looked at Wei Shichu with surprise and some suspicion.
"Just wait and see, but you have to provide me with the wood and the tools I need." Wei Shichu said calmly.
Since the Fifth Master agreed to let Wei Shichu treat his wife, he didn't mind trusting her again, so he actually found wood and tools for Wei Shichu.
After giving Fifth Grandma acupuncture again, Wei Shichu went to the yard outside to prepare a wheelchair. Zhao Lue was playing with a jigsaw puzzle obediently. He glanced at his busy mother from time to time, then looked at it, then threw away his toys and moved. He went to Wei Shichu's side.
"Baby, why are you leaning over here? What if something hurts you? Can you go back and play by yourself?" Wei Shichu persuaded him softly when he saw the little guy looking at him while he was working.
"Mom, I also want to play with you..." Zhao Lue said boldly.
Wei Shichu looked at the chisel, hammer and wood in his hand, and thought, good guy, is his son interested in being a carpenter at a young age? It's just that this profession is not popular in this era.
"Baby, Mom is not playing, she is working. You see, she is very tired." As he said that, Wei Shichu picked up the hammer and banged it, pretending to wipe his sweat while banging.
The child was still young after all, so when he saw her like this, he really believed it and said distressedly: "Mom, don't do it if you're too tired."
Wei Shichu choked up and quickly coaxed him: "Mom is doing something very meaningful. It doesn't matter if you are tired for a while. When mom finishes making this wheelchair, can I make building blocks for you to play with?"
"What are building blocks?" Zhao Lue asked curiously. Children's attention is always easily diverted, and they don't remember what happened before when they hear something fun.
"Building blocks are toys, more fun than jigsaw puzzles. When my future mother is ready, she can play with you." Wei Shichu promised, and finally coaxed the little guy aside to play by himself.
Since Wei Shichu wants to make a wheelchair, he must make the most perfect one. Even if it is not as good as the advanced mechanical wheelchairs of future generations, he can still make a wheelchair that is light and flexible and can be pushed by oneself when sitting on it.
The Fifth Master had been paying attention to Wei Shichu's work progress. When he saw the exquisitely designed wheelchair on the drawings, he already believed that she could really make a more practical wheelchair. Therefore, he exclaimed: "Mrs. Wei, I didn't expect you to have something like this." Not only are his medical skills superb, he is also proficient in mechanical skills."
"It's just that I learned more things before." Wei Shichu said modestly.
"I let you be Zhao Yiran's concubine before, which hid your talents. However, since you are so versatile, why don't you rely on these to win Zhao Yiran's favor?" The Fifth Master couldn't help but ask.
Wei Shichu sneered and said: "Fifth Master, do you really think that these talents in me will please Zhao Yiran? What is the duty of a concubine? She is to serve people with sex, to spread leaves and branches for the master, the most important thing is appearance and Fertility. If Zhao Yiran knew that I had medical and mechanical skills, not only would he not like me, but he would be wary of me."
When the Fifth Master heard what she said, he was slightly startled and said, "I took it too naturally. You are right. Zhao Yiran will not allow a woman with medical skills and mechanical skills to be in his backyard."
"That's why I want to leave." Wei Shichu said calmly, "Now I just want to train Zhao Lue and stay far away from the Zhao mansion."
"Aren't you going back to Prince An's Mansion?" The Fifth Master suddenly said this out of the blue, "You didn't tell the people in Prince An's Mansion about your unauthorized separation from Zhao Yiran, right?"
"There's no need to tell them. I don't covet their family's wealth. Should I let them send me out as a concubine when I go back?" Wei Shichu said with a sneer.
The Fifth Master nodded after hearing this and said nothing more.
Five days later, Wei Shichu had built the wheelchair. She sat on it and tried it herself. Sure enough, she could push it by herself. As long as the road was flatter, she could move freely without anyone pushing from behind.
When the Fifth Master saw it, his eyes were red with excitement, and he asked, "Can I try it?"
"Okay." Wei Shichu said and got out of the wheelchair, letting the fifth master sit on it and try it out.
