Chapter 148.1 Table of contents

After the old doctor received Zhao Han’s instructions, he arranged the two people, and tried his best to treat the patient.

In fact, there was basically no real medicine to cure a disease like his; the only option was to take care of it carefully.

To put it better, it was because the patient was too weak and suffered from wind and cold, so he took so many medicines and could not recover on his own for a long time.

In fact, the wind and cold were trivial matters. The weather was neither cold nor hot now, so he could drink some medicine.

The main reason was the patient was too tired, mentally and physically exhausted, had insufficient energy and blood, and had imbalanced yin and yang. If this person wanted to be cured, he must be in good spirits.

They all lived in the same county, and even if they didn’t know each other very well, the old doctor had met them several times, so he knew what their family’s situation was like.

“Well…” The old doctor looked at Jinli’s mother with great sympathy: “You are too weak. You didn’t take a good rest after you gave birth to the child. In addition, you are so sick after years of hard work. Let me prescribe it for you first, take some nourishing food to nourish your body. Don’t think too much during this period. Just take care of yourself. And our county master is good, you can ask the county magistrate to make the decision for you in your family affairs.”

“Thank you, doctor, for your concern. I also know my physical condition. I really want to live, and I want to take care of my child. As long as the child is well, it will be fine. As for the county magistrate, we will not trouble him about our family affairs. The county magistrate is busy taking care of the town, how could he be so free to take care of family affairs?” Jinli’s mother shook his head; he knew his own situation.

The county magistrate was such a noble person; how could he condescend to take care of his family’s affairs?

The old doctor saw that he couldn’t listen at all and felt sad for his misfortune and angry for his inability to argue.

How could this person know that the county magistrate would not take care of it if he didn’t try? Even if it was a wishful thinking, there was nothing wrong in trying.

It would be really sad if he didn’t have the courage to give it a try.

Jinli’s mother was so immersed in his own world that he didn’t know how to open his eyes and see the difference between now and before.

In the past, man only cared about himself, but now the man in the family had to care about the situation of his significant other. Nowadays, men basically gave half of their attention to their family.

Those who got married, whether they were rich or poor, were different.

People from rich families now held their heads high when they went out, and they were generous and admirable. When the weather was cool, they would go out for a walk from time to time. But how could they dare to do this in the past? Basically, they had to wear a veil when they left the first door.

Poorer people now went out to work and could do easy tasks such as planting flowers and grass, helping with harvesting, etc., to support the family. It was no longer like before, with only small jobs like cleaning up housework, washing some clothes or selling some vegetables.

People always had to look forward. Now, if they didn’t cherish the time when the county magistrate was in office, it would be even more difficult if he left in the future.

.

After the old doctor prescribed the medicine for him, he pulled Jinli to get the money and said, “Child, if you a little older, you would have been married to someone else by now.”

Jinli didn’t know why the old doctor wanted to say such things to him. Was he trying to set him up with someone? He also looked very ordinary, and because many people in the county considered that he had such an unsatisfactory father, no one had ever proposed to him.

Jinli, played with the money from Zhao Han and blushed. He was thinking about how to refuse the old doctor’s kindness and say that he already had a sweetheart. He even fantasized about the old doctor asking him who his sweetheart was. How should he describe the man?

“So, there are some things you should know; your father is gone and your mother is sick like this, you are the only one who can continue your family line. You should stand up.” The old doctor said sincerely.

Jinli immediately woke up from his fantasy. He was a little disappointed that the old doctor didn’t ask as he thought, but what the old man said was based on experience, and he should listen to it.

“I understand, doctor. I will take good care of my mother,” Jinli promised.

The old doctor shook his head. It seemed that Jinli didn’t understand what he meant. He was still a child after all.

And for children who grew up under no education, it was normal for them to be naive.

“Not only do you have to take good care of your mother, but you also have to think about how to deal with your father.”

“Deal with my father?!” Jinli looked at his small arms and legs. How could he confront his strong father? Was there a way?

Jinli looked at the doctor expectantly, hoping for some kind of solution.

The old doctor felt like he was talking to a brick wall. Doctors were kind and patient. He silently recited these four words in his heart.
