155 Getting Treated
Not long after she left the house, Lin Xiaoyue saw the mother and daughter waiting at the intersection.
Wang Erya was being supported by Aunt Wang, and something didn’t look right.
They saw Lin Xiaoyue riding the ox-cart and looked over.
Aunt Wang looked like she found hope.
“Hurry up, get in,” Lin Xiaoyue got off the ox and helped Aunt Wang to help Wang Erya onto the ox cart.
“Woo…thank you…” Wang Erya was still sobbing a little, but she felt much more at ease now.
“There’s no need to thank me,” Lin Xiaoyue said.
Then, she took out the buns.
“Let’s have two each,” she smiled at the two of them.
A hint of gratitude flashed in Aunt Wang’s eyes.
“Yue’er, thank you…your kindness…” Aunt Wang couldn’t finish her sentence. Her tears welled up again.
“Aunt Wang, you’re being too polite again. The relationship between our two families is different from that of other families.”
Lin Xiaoyue took out two buns and handed it to Aunt Wang.
“Take good care of Erya. Let’s set off now.”
“Yes.”
Lin Xiaoyue then turned around and went out of the cart to ride the ox-cart.
Eating the buns, they didn’t speak for the rest of the journey.
Soon, the ox-cart arrived in town.
Lin Xiaoyue and Aunt Wang helped Wang Erya off the ox-cart and into the clinic.
It was the same clinic where Xiao Qing was treated.
The doctor took her pulse and looked at her wound. He frowned deeply.
Only then did Lin Xiaoyue know that there were more wounds on Wang Erya’s body. There were a few on her arms and legs.
The doctor looked at the two of them unhappily.
“She’s so seriously injured. Why didn’t you send her to the clinic earlier?”
“I…I didn’t know it would be so serious. Is she going to be okay?��� Aunt Wang could hardly stand.
“She’s been poisoned. If you come any later, she’ll be barely alive!” The doctor said in an unpleasant tone.
When Aunt Wang heard this, her legs went soft.
Lin Xiaoyue quickly helped her to the side and sat down.
“Doctor, how do you think we should treat it?” She stepped forward and said to the doctor.
The doctor glanced at Aunt Wang and saw that she was very worried so he stopped scolding her.
“I’ll clean the wound first, then I’ll make some ointment to apply on the wounds. Take two doses of anti-swelling medicine every day and she will be fine,” the doctor said to Aunt Wang and Lin Xiaoyue.
After hearing this, the two of them felt more at ease.
“Then, please treat her,” Aunt Wang stood up and said quickly.
The doctor looked at Aunt Wang.
“Hmm,” he responded.
He then instructed his assistant to prepare the tools and make the topical ointment.
After the wound was cleaned, the ointment was also ready.
After applying the ointment for Wang Erya, the doctor got up.
“There’s still some ointment left. It will help reduce the remaining swelling even without medicine.” The doctor looked at Aunt Wang.
“The consultation fee and the ointment cost three taels in total.”
Aunt Wang’s face was a little pale.
“How much does the medicine cost? Will the swelling go down faster if she takes it?” At this moment, her daughter’s face, hands, and legs were unsightly. She could barely stand up.
She had let her daughter and husband down. It’s her fault that she’s in this state.
The doctor looked at Aunt Wang.
He didn’t expect her to want to spend more on medicine.
