Chapter 502: Relief
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The smell of smoked meat and sausages was fragrant, the winter bamboo shoots were delicious and tender, and the hot spinach and egg soup made people warm and comfortable. The food made them, who had been driving the whole day, feel so refreshed. They could not help but develop good feelings towards the Shao Family.
The meal just eased them up.
Back in the room, Shao Yunduan smiled and said that they could really be relieved after listening to the doctor’s words.
Shao Yunduan could not understand the truth and Qiao Xuan found it funny.
She was not confused at all but still tried to cover it up.
She explained. “It is said that there is a specialization in surgery. Doctor Dong is good at treating trauma, so it is not surprising that he can diagnose more accurately than Manager Qin. Furthermore, the elder brother had just been injured on the day when Manager Qin came, so the doctor’s diagnosis might not be so accurate at that time. After all, no one knows how well the elder brother’s body can heal. Now it seems that it has something to do with the elder brother’s physique. Perhaps the eldest brother himself tends to recover easily.”
Shao Yunduan thought what Qiao Xuan said made sense. But something seemed amiss after pondering over it.
He might have overthought about this. Thankfully, it was all good now.
Shao Yunduan slightly relaxed and nodded with a smile. “You are right, Darling!”
Doctor Dong and his disciple left early the next morning, since the patient’s situation wasn’t urgent.
Qiao Xuan conducted two more days of acupuncture and after the medication from the new doctor, Shao Dalang felt much better.
His wounds still ached, and there was inflammation, but the pain did not cause him too much discomfort. It was bearable.
Shao Dalang was so grateful and kept thanking Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan.
“Oh yes, Fifth Sister-in-law, I can just stay here and rest, you can do whatever you want. Don’t bother about me. I am sorry that I can’t help you now…”
“That is okay!” Shao Yunduan smiled. “We can take it slow with our work. Elder Brother, just focus on your recovery.”
Seeing that Shao Dalang was doing well, Qiao Xuan and the others went into the mountains to cut the creeping figs.
Qiao Xuan did not allow Shao Yunduan to tag along.
He was not needed for the remaining work.
It should turn out well.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Sanlang, Yang Xiaoni, Taotao and Qi spent three days gathering enough creeping figs.
Then, their work would be sorting flower fields, digging the soil and removing weeds. They hired Shao Dali and a few others from the village for help, together with Young Xiaoni, Qi and Taotao who supervised the work.
They only hired people with sealed lips. The hired workers saw a house inside the flower field and got curious, but they stopped prying when Taotao said that it was a place for them to take a break and appreciate flowers.
No one saw the whole set of tools of lipsticks inside, thus saying nothing.
The whole village soon learned about the hiring.
Qiao Xuan hired three families including Shao Dali, who were paid 30 Wen each. It was a great deal.
Everyone in the village got really jealous about it.
The second and third section of the family were furious. But they thougth of how they owed them the free labor. They gave up making a fuss since they did not want to work for the first section of the family for no payment.
Moreover, Ms. Fang was not in a good mood these days due to Shao Dalang’s accident. So, the other sections of the family did not dare to cause any trouble..
