Chapter 22: Get Hurt
After banishing Butcher Feng, Jin’s meat shop becomes the most popular meat shop of the village. Jin Weiwei takes the money from Feng, humming a tune, and goes back home.
However, as soon as she arrives home, Little Rich stops her.
“What do you want to do?” Jin Weiwei looks at Little Rich vigilantly, holding her money tightly.
“The pill, where did you get it?”
“I’ve told you that it is ancestral, ancestral!” Jin Weiwei stares at him and answers. Little Rich dares to block her in the house. He’s getting more and more disobedient.
Without any words, Little Rich turns around and takes a bowl from the kitchen.
Jin Weiwei finds out this is the bowl in which she mashed the herbs into juice. She was too hurried to clean it. And there is still residue in it. Unluckily, it is found out by Little Rich. This guy seems to be stupid, but in fact he pays attention to everything.
“What is it?” Little Rich puts the bowl close to Weiwei’s nose and questions her.
Of course she doesn’t know what it is. She just took it from the other side of the magic door at random.
Receiving no answer, Little Rich continues his question: “Where does the grass come from?”
“They are just the grass in the west north of our backyard, some weeds, I took it just for fun.” Jin Weiwei answers arbitrarily, attempting to slip by.
“There is no such grass in the backyard, nor in the other place.” Little Rich says firmly.
On the first day he came, he has already observed the whole environment of Jin’s family. These days, he is even clear about the place of each stone and grass.
“Well, they’re just some common grass, why do you want to know about it?” Jin Weiwei guiltily pushes away Little Rich and asks: “I also have a question. Last time you said you didn’t have enough money to pay for doctor Jia. So you begged him to come. But why did doctor Jia give me five sliver as the attendance fee last time? Where did you get the money?”
Little Rich turns his head, refusing to answer.
Well, it seems that little Rich really hides the truth from her. No way. She provides him food, drinks, clothes and room, he belongs to her. How could her Little Rich lie to her?
Jin Weiwei uses her hand to turn his face back and says: “Tell me, where did you get the money?”
While they look at each other face to face, Little Rich feels nervous. He looks down and gives his explanation: “I borrowed.”
Borrow? Nonsense! She is the only person Little Rich knows in this village.
It is clear that he doesn’t want to tell her the truth.
Jin Weiwei curls up her mouth. She wants to go on asking, but she finds Little Rich is still holding the medicine bowl in his hand to study. She doesn’t want him to keep asking her. Well, since they keep each other in the dark about each other’s secret, there is no meaning for them to go on this topic. Therefore, she hurriedly says she is too tired to talk and drives Little Rich out of the room.
Though Feng and his wife are bad eggs, they are really good at business and have great savings. Therefore, though Weiwei gets only one-third of their money, it is still a large sum for her.
In order to achieve her dream of enlarging her business, she makes a decision that she will use all her moneys to buy the store beside her shop. Then she could combine the two stores into one to expand her meat shop.
However, it’s always easy to think but hard to do. The house can be bought with money, but who can help her to get through the wall? In order to save money, of course, Jin Weiwei chooses to rely on herself.
“Here, here. Pound here. Pound heavily!” Jin Weiwei commands Little Rich to smash the wall
Bang.
Bang, Bang.
There is only a rift on the wall.
“Why are you so useless? Stop, let me have a try!”
Jin Weiwei spits in her hand, grabs a sledgehammer, and prepares to smash the wall. However, Weiwei suddenly slips and the hammer drops down. Weiwei’s left foot is hurt by the hammer and she cries out in pain.
“Oh, my God, it’s killing me!” Jin Weiwei picks up her left foot, jumps with one foot, and loses her balance.
Little Rich quickly reaches out for a hug and lifts Jin Weiwei’s whole body off the ground.
In the next second, Weiwei finds herself falling into the arms of Little Rich.
Time seems to be at a standstill here.
Putong Putong……
Jin Weiwei doesn’t know the heartbeat is hers or Little Rich’s.
Is this the so-called Princess hug? Jin Weiwei’s heart is a little happy. You know, neither she nor the original owner has experienced this kind of hug. It is an action which can move every young girl in this world. And now she is actually held by Little Rich.
Close to Little Rich’s solid chest and feeling his warmth, Jin Weiwei suddenly feels shy with her cheeks burning.
“Why are you so careless?”
His blame suddenly calms Jin Weiwei down.
“Accident, it’s just an accident……” Jin Weiwei curls up her mouth and struggles to get down.
“Don’t move!” Little Rich does not obey her but carries her all the way from the butcher shop in the east of the village to their home at the head of the village.
Luckily, there are seldom people on their way, otherwise, she will be extremely shy.
Taking Jin Weiwei into the room and putting her on the bed, Little Rich carefully helps her to take off her shoes and socks. Now, her left thumb is blue and swollen.
“I’ll call Dr. Jia.” Little Rich says and intends to go out.
“Come back!” Jin Weiwei hurriedly shouts to him, “it’s just a hammer hit. We don’t need to disturb Dr. Jia for this little injury. Having a cool compress, my foot will be okay with a rest of a few days.”
Little Rich frowns and does not believe her words.
“Believe me, I’m not as fragile as a princess. Look at me. How strong I am. I’m really OK. I know my condition. ” Jin Weiwei raises her arms with a strong posture.
Little Rich has no choice but to obediently make a cool compress for her. Since Weiwei is hurt, he can’t go to the meat shop. So he closes the meat shop and carefully takes care of Weiwei at home.
Till mid-night, her toes hurt so painfully that she cannot sleep any more.
Suddenly, she remembers that there still have some herbs taken from the magic door last time. She limps into the kitchen, finds the herbs she has hidden, smashes them gently, and aplies them to the wound.
Jin Weiwei thinks the grass will be as effective as it was last time to relieve the pain and swelling of Wang, but it seems that she is wrong this time.
Until the second morning, the herbs still fail to play any role. Her toes are still swollen like bread, and still painful as before.
What’s the reason? Why do they become useless this time? Why do the herbs become as common as grass now?
Does it mean the herbs are not guaranteed to cure all diseases, or they can only work in accordance with the symptoms?
Or, the effect of the herbs is time effective. Maybe the long-time leaving from the magic door will make the herbs lose the magic healing function?Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Or put it another way, the magic grass is overdue now?
