Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 207: Chapter 207 Xue Linfang Got Snubbed

Although Aunt Mao was more cunning than others, she was still a decent person.

Moreover, her son’s face was covered in blood, looking the most serious.

Yunyi directly called Xue Linfang, ”You handle the wounds on his face; I’ll check his arm.”

Xue Linfang saw Zhang Qingshan’s blood-drenched face, and a flash of disgust crossed her eyes. But in front of so many people, what could she say? She had to step forward obediently and began to help clean up.

However, she was not used to this kind of work and was heavy-handed. Soon, Zhang Qingshan couldn’t stand it anymore. ”Xue Linfang, do you even know how to treat wounds, or do you think my face isn’t injured enough?”

Scolded by Zhang Qingshan, Xue Linfang’s movements became even more frantic, and her face flushed red with embarrassment as she gritted her teeth and retorted, ”Cleaning a wound is always painful! Why is a grown man like you making such a fuss?”

Mao Qiaohua, seeing Xue Linfang’s attitude, said, ”Linfang, this attitude won’t do. Every day you’re sheltered from the wind and sun, sitting in the health room and still earning eight work points.

”Having learned for so long, yet with Doctor Gong not here, you can’t even treat a simple wound and have to get the village officials to call for help. It’s clearly your own incompetence, yet you still yell at my son. You’re really something.”

As soon as Mao Qiaohua said this, everyone present echoed in agreement. The Xue Family had always looked down on others, with Xu Wenchang frequently snubbing his nose at them.

And what Mao Qiaohua said was indeed true. If you occupy the position of a health worker but still need to ask others for help at critical times, then what’s the use of you?

Nearby, Qiao Yougen, the brigade leader, watched Xue Linfang with a frown, new plans forming in his mind. The villagers were right; they couldn’t always ask Chu Zhiqing for help every time there was an incident. It was only because Chu Zhiqing didn’t hold it against them. If it were someone else, they might have already set conditions. He had heard from Doctor Gong before that Chu Zhiqing’s medical skills were streets ahead of his.

Although the accident happened while working for the power bureau, the bureau had stated its position. They said it was the workers’ own carelessness that caused the trouble, so they would only bear part of the responsibility, not all of it. If everyone behaved like them, working carelessly and expecting the bureau to cover for any incidents, the power bureau would be overwhelmed with losses. Moreover, with such an incident occurring on the very first day of work, the person in charge at the power bureau felt it was somewhat unlucky. Qiao Yougen also feared that if he pressed the issue, the power bureau might simply replace their village with workers from another. If that happened, the village would likely be thrown into chaos.

While Xue Linfang was still fumbling around, Yunyi had already set Zhang Qingshan’s arm bone and then had people find a flat wooden board to make a splint for him.

Mao Qiaohua stayed close to her son. ”Doctor Chu, his arm won’t have problems in the future, will it?”

Yunyi pointed to his arm. ”Auntie Zhang, don’t worry, it won’t. But it’s best to sling his arm to avoid bumping it again by accident. Also, avoid eating spicy foods.”

Nowadays, no family could afford to use much oil in their cooking, nor did they eat rich meats and fish every day, so she didn’t bother to advise against eating greasy foods.

After listening to Yunyi, Mao Qiaohua thanked her profusely. Turning to her younger son, she said, ”You heard Chu Zhiqing’s instructions, right? You behave yourself during this period and don’t end up crippling yourself.”

With Mao Qiaohua occasionally teasing her son, the atmosphere wasn’t as tense as before.

Next was the young man who had injured his waist, Qiao Weibing, the brigade leader’s nephew. After an examination, it was found to be a dislocation of the lumbar spine. Thankfully, it’s not a fracture, Yunyi thought to herself.

She called over a few strong men to assist her, and with a CRACK, the lumbar spine was snapped back into place.
