Su Li looked at Old Madam Liu and said, “He can stand up, but he needs to undergo surgery. Let him recuperate well for the next two days. When the time is right, I’ll get someone to pick him up.”
He still had to go to her house for the surgery. The conditions here were not suitable for surgery.
When Old Madam Liu heard Su Li’s words, she hurriedly pressed her palms together and said, “Thank God. God bless, God bless!”
She thought that her son would be like this for the rest of his life, but she did not expect Su Li to still be able to help him stand up.
When Liu Kui saw Old Madam Liu like this, tears welled up in his eyes.
Seeing that it was about time, Su Li pulled out the silver needle. Liu Kui felt much more relaxed, and even the pain in his body decreased.
Liu Kui said in surprise, “I don’t feel so bad anymore!”
These few days, he had been in so much pain that he couldn’t fall asleep. He didn’t even have an appetite anymore, and his energy was gone in an instant. Su Li had only given him a simple acupuncture just now, but he felt that something was different so quickly.
Old Madam Liu asked excitedly, “Are you really feeling better?”
He felt comfortable after just an acupuncture session?
Liu Kui nodded. “Mother, it’s true. My waist doesn’t hurt so much anymore.”
Old Madam Liu said happily, “That’s good, that’s good!”
Su Li put away the silver needles. “Rest well for the next two days. I’ll prescribe you two sets of medicine later. Drink it first. You can undergo surgery in two days. I’ll get someone to pick you up.”
Liu Kui hurriedly nodded, but then he remembered that he did not have the money to buy medicine and said with a troubled expression.
“I-I don’t have the money to buy medicine!
When Old Madam Liu heard this, she became anxious and quickly said, “Son, don’t worry. Even if I sell my coffin, I’ll think of a way to buy the medicine for you.”
Liu Kui quickly stopped him. “No! Don’t touch that money.”
He did not know what would happen to him in the future. If he was like this for the rest of his life, his mother would at least have a coffin for the next hundred years. If she sold the coffin, what would happen in the future!
Old Madam Liu looked nonchalant. “If there’s really no other way, just get the villagers to take a mat and roll me up and bury me. The villagers will take care of us, so they probably won’t care about this.”
Liu Kui’s eyes turned red. “No, we can’t do this no matter what. I’d rather die!”
When Old Madam Liu heard Liu Kui’s words, she pounced on the bed and cried.
She even muttered some words.
Su Li rubbed her temples. Did these two think she didn’t exist?
“I’ll give you this medicine first. I’ll deduct it from your salary in the future.”
“Really?” Liu Kui asked.
Su Li said, “Why would I lie to you? Do I get money to spend?”
Only then did Liu Kui heave a sigh of relief. He looked at Su Li and said seriously, “I’ll remember your kindness for the rest of my life. If I really get better, I’ll be your slave in the future!”
Old Madam Liu sniffled and said, “Miss, you’re a good person and you’ll be rewarded. You’ll definitely be rich in the future. Guanyin Bodhisattva will bless you with a safe and happy life.”
Su Li smiled and said, “Alright, thanks for your blessings. I’ll go back first. I’ll get someone to send the medicine over later. I live in the He Family Village next door.”
When Old Madam Liu heard that Su Li was leaving, she wanted to grab a chicken for Su Li to eat.
Fortunately, that woman left in a hurry and only took the money from home. She could not bring the chickens, ducks, and food with her. Otherwise, the mother and son would have a hard time.
Su Li hurriedly rejected, “There’s no need. You can continue raising the chickens! ”
Old Madam Liu said, “We’ll have to eat it sooner or later anyway. We might as well kill it now.”
Although there weren’t many chickens left at home, Su Li was an esteemed guest, so she had to treat her well.
Her son had become like this. They did not have any extra money to hire a
doctor and buy medicine. Looking at his uncomfortable expression, she felt as if her heart had been cut by a knife. Hence, she sold everything she could sell at home.
Now that most of the things in the house had been sold, she realized that the money was insignificant. Those doctors refused to come at all.
Su Li smiled and said, “Then leave it for him to eat. His body is currently weak and needs to nourish his body.”
Old Madam Liu continued to persuade him to stay. “Eat a little before you leave!”
She was sincerely grateful to Su Li. Although she didn’t know if Su Li could really make her son stand up, at least Su Li had given them hope now. Otherwise, her old eyes would be blind from crying.
“There’s really no need. I still have something to do at home,” Su Li said.
Liu Kui’s family seemed to be having a hard time now, so it was better for her not to burden others.
Seeing that Su Li really wasn’t eating, Old Madam Liu sent her to the door.
During this time, Old Madam Liu kept wiping her tears and thanking Su Li.
“There’s no need to send me off. Just here will do!” Su Li said.
Old Madam Liu was still a little worried. She grabbed Su Li’s hand and cried, “Miss, you have to save my son! My daughter-in-law and grandson have run away. Now, there’s only the two of us in this family to rely on. With him in this state, I won’t be able to rest in peace even if I die!”
She was really afraid that Su Li would go back on her word.
Su Li patted her hand and comforted her. “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely do my best.”
Madam Liu watched as Su Li’s back view gradually disappeared. After she disappeared, she turned around and returned to the house.
After Su Li left Liu Kui’s house, she was not in a hurry to go home. Instead, she walked around the vicinity, looking for an herb called Hemerocallis fulva.
As written in the famed Chinese medicine book, Hemerocallis fulvas helps disperse itchiness, curing blood to stop bleeding, clear heat and dehydration, detoxification to reduce swelling, antibacterial, diuretic and prevent bugs from sucking blood.
It’s usually used to treat edema, jaundice hepatitis, turbid urination, gastrointestinal ulcers, vomiting blood, diarrhea, lymphadenitis, acute mammitis, etc.
It has short rhizomes and fleshy, fat spindle-shaped roots. The roots of the grass are poisonous and can cause poisoning if eaten accidentally.
Liu Kui’s symptoms could be cured with grassroots. After using the grassroots, his back pain would lessen. There should be a lot of grassroots in the fields, so she planned to pluck some for Liu Kui. In any case, she did not need to spend money to buy them. It was just a little more effort.
Seeing that there was no one around, Su Li took out the small hoe and basket from her space and started digging.
Soon, she dug up more than half a basket worth of grass roots. Then, Su Li planned to return home.
She still threw the small hoe into the space. In order to avoid suspicion, she continued to carry the things in the basket.
She washed her hands in the gutter and had just gotten up when she was hit squarely by someone.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” That person hurriedly apologized and ran away. It looked like something had happened..
