Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 231: 229: A hundred days of damaging the meridians and moving the bones, Ye Lei’s little plan

Doctor was busy packing up items: “It takes one hundred days to recover from a broken bone! His skin has suffered too much damage and is too deep. To be able to recover to his current state is already very good. Now it’s just a matter of healing his broken ribs, which can only be done slowly. Besides, it is essential not to stop taking the soup medicine and not to slacken in eating. Once the two deepest wounds have healed, it will be a significant improvement.”

“Thank you, Sir. It must have been hard for you to travel back and forth. There’s one more thing. Do you think my husband can walk around?”

As long as Ye Lei’s body is healed, everything else can be discussed!

“It’s been more than twenty days now, so it’s ok to get up and move around a little in a short time! Dr. He specifically instructed to use the best medicine. I dare not slack off!”

The doctor had a kind face.

“It’s all thanks to Dr. He and you, Sir.” Hearing that they can get up and move around for a short time, Di Yelei and Liu Sisi felt relieved.

After coming down from Heilong Mountain, Liu Sisi initially went to Dr. He. However, Dr. He was too old to travel easily, so he asked a capable doctor in the clinic to make daily visits. That has continued until now!

Seeing the doctor off, Liu Sisi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Don’t walk around so much. Aren’t you tired? Sit down and rest for a while, have a chat with me. I’m stuck here all day recuperating, and I don’t have anyone to talk to.”

The impatient Di Yelei, who was lying on his side at the head of the bed, called out to her.

“How are you feeling? You didn’t have a fever today, did you?”

As Liu Sisi spoke, she reached to feel his forehead.

“I didn’t have a fever a long time ago. I have a strong resistance and recover fast. Don’t worry.”

Di Yelei grabbed her hand and rubbed it against his face: “Sisi, you heard what the doctor just said. How about you help me get up and walk around?”

“Absolutely not! You’re going to the old house tomorrow. Even though they said you could do light activities, you should continue to rest now and move tomorrow.” Liu Sisi didn’t relent.

“But, I feel stiff all over, my muscles are all tense. Don’t believe me, just pinch it!”

Di Yelei pleaded and even extended his arm for Liu Sisi to pinch.

“Who are you kidding? The doctor just said it’s one hundred days for injuries like yours. You need to take care of your bones once your external injuries heal. This is a lifetime event, and you can’t fool around!”

Liu Sisi looked concerned.

“Don’t worry! The medicine I’m taking is a secret ancestral formula passed down in Zhang Peng’s family. It’s specifically for treating bone injuries. Their family has been using this secret recipe for many years, and it can’t be fake.”

It seemed that Sisi wouldn’t let him get up no matter what, so Di Yelei yawned sleepily.

It must be said, though, that the medicine is potent, and he felt that his healing speed was significantly faster than before.

“Oh, have you all had lunch? Do you want me to heat up the soup for you?”

Liu Sisi suddenly remembered another matter.

Recalling that the men in black mentioned that it was a special medicine for treating injuries, its effect was probably much better than ordinary medicines!

“Xuan’er has already heated up the food and brought it here to eat. The child is so focused, studying quietly. I don’t know who he takes after.”

Di Yelei struggled to say, his eyes trembling.

“You should sleep for a while if you’re tired. I’ll go make some medicine for you. I’ll call you when the medicine soup is ready.”

She spoke softly, tucking the quilt corner in and quickly going to the kitchen. The bowls and chopsticks were neatly placed in the kitchen, with no signs of mess. Xuan’er was becoming more and more sensible.

She opened a pack of medicine, soaked it in warm water, and then began to eat her lunch while thinking about the game. After cooking the medicine, she brought it to Di Yelei and sat by the bed.

“Ye Lei, I’m thinking, should we send some rabbits and pheasants to the old house?”

Liu Sisi said this, not as a gesture of submission to Ms. Zhao, but because of Elderly Mr. Di.

Di Ah-bao is ultimately Dad’s youngest child, and Dad is now inconvenient to walk around. The louder the old house is, the more uncomfortable Dad feels. If the marriage of Di Ah-bao is ruined because of some game, it would be the most difficult for Dad.

So, after thinking about it, Liu Sisi suggested sending some game to the old house.

This made Di Yelei pause while drinking the soup medicine, he gently put down the medicine bowl, and thought for a moment.

“How much silver do we have left?”

Liu Sisi thought for a moment: “Recently, changing medicine every day costs 700 to 800 silver coins. I still have 11 taels of silver. It’s not a solution to only have expenses without income, so I thought about hiring a temporary employee to open the bookstore. At least we won’t have to cover the 10 taels of silver every month.”

As Liu Sisi spoke, she couldn’t help but gently tug at the corner of her clothes, unable to say the rest of it.

With only 11 taels of silver left, it was indeed impossible to support the tenant rent.

Di Yelei nodded without saying much. He sighed, “Alright! Let’s do it this way for now.” After thinking for a while, a light flashed in Di Yelei’s eyes! “The temporary worker you want to hire, do they have to be able to write and calculate?”

“What? Do you have a candidate to recommend?” Liu Sisi breathed a sigh of relief!

She was afraid that Di Yelei would be angry when he heard that she wanted to hire a temporary worker for the bookstore, after all, he absolutely refused to let her go to the bookstore initially.

“Yes, indeed.”

Di Yelei nodded honestly: “You know him too, I’m talking about Di Cheng! Although this child can’t read, he’s reliable and hardworking. You can rest assured if he manages the bookstore.”

Most importantly, he could set his mind at ease too!

Liu Sisi’s eyes lit up instantly!

“Di Cheng? This child is indeed good! The problem is with your Second Sister-in-law… it might be difficult to pop the question.”

If she had to pick the most reliable person in the old house, it would probably be Di Cheng! This child was not talkative and always quietly did his work, with quick actions and less scheming.

If there was anything bad about him, it was that he was being dragged down by the oppressive environment of the old house.

“If you think he’s capable, when we go to the old house tomorrow, I’ll talk to Second Sister-in-law. If she doesn’t let him go, I’ll find Dad, who will surely agree.”

Di Yelei was quite confident.

Liu Sisi’s eyes shifted, and she immediately understood.

Although Ms. Wang was domineering, she didn’t dare to pick a fight with Di Yelei in front of him. If Di Yelei talked to her, it would surely have a good effect. If Ms. Wang really didn’t let Cheng go, they could ask Dad for help!

“Alright! You’ll handle this!”

Once the matter was settled, Liu Sisi, who had laid down the big rock in her heart, couldn’t help but smile.
