Chapter 98: The 98th Palm: Already Prepared_1

Lin Yue had to take care of Zhao Erhu, and all the household chores were now led by Dalang with the help of his younger brothers. Faced with this family misfortune, the children were more sensible than ever before, which was Lin Yue’s only consolation during her monts of exhaustion.

In order to take care of Zhao Erhu and prevent any adverse developnts, Lin Yue stayed by his side almost every hour of the day. While caring for him, she also did embroidery work, hoping to earn so Silver Coin sooner. Zhao Erhu’s current condition had already consud more than two taels of silver for only one batch of dicine. The six taels borrowed from the third uncle were definitely not enough. Although the third uncle had said she could borrow more if necessary, Lin Yue had no intention of doing so. Borrowed money would eventually need to be repaid. Besides, borrowing a first and second ti did not an one could keep doing so indefinitely. They had to rely on themselves. Before running out of silver, Lin Yue planned to embroider more items to sell for cash.

Lin Yue had only a small part left unfinished on the fan surface she had been embroidering earlier. With an afternoon’s effort, she completed the remaining portion. Then she found a fairly decent piece of fabric and continued embroidering fan surfaces. She had thought of making a double-sided embroidery which would be worth more, but after so thought, she gave up the idea. Firstly, the double-sided embroidery required much more ti and energy, and the available fabrics at ho were not very suitable. If she were to put in such significant effort and ti, she would want it to be the best. Moreover, she needed to sell her embroidery quickly for money and couldn’t wait that long. Double-sided embroidery would have to wait for another day.

Zhao Xinglin still rembered the job opportunity at the governnt office for Zhao Erhu and had calculated the ti when Erhu should be returning from the mountains. Upon arriving back in the village, he promptly visited Zhao Erhu. He believed the constable position could be a good opportunity for Erhu, but it had to be accepted by the man himself before anything could be settled. After all, everyone has different desires. What Zhao Xinglin didn’t expect was to arrive and learn that Zhao Erhu had been gravely injured while hunting in the mountains and was unconscious. After visiting Zhao Erhu once, Zhao Xinglin inquired about his conditions and which local doctor had been consulted.

“It was originally Doctor Zheng. I actually thought about finding another doctor with better skills for a second opinion, but now it seems unnecessary. Doctor Zheng’s dical skills are quite good, ranking among the best in Xin’an City. With him treating Erhu, I believe there won’t be a problem. Sister-in-law, you should also be at ease. Erhu is quite robust and can endure quite a bit. A few days of rest should undoubtedly lead to his recovery.”

Zhao Xinglin, having spent many years in the city, knew Xin’an City extrely well. If he said soone was good, they must be. In the past, Erhu had consulted many doctors to treat Lin Yue without success until he learned of Doctor Zheng’s excellent dical skills and invited him over. Since then, for any dical need at ho, they always turned to Doctor Zheng.

“Doctor Zheng’s dical skills are indeed excellent. The last few tis I was ill, I quickly recovered after taking a few doses of dicine he prescribed. Borrowing Brother Xinglin’s auspicious words, I too believe that Erhu will certainly recover. It’s just that the job as a constable he won’t be able to take up now, wasting Brother Xinglin’s kind intentions.”

“Ah, that’s nothing. I didn’t exert much effort. It was just that the opportunity was indeed rare. Not making it is nothing to regret. If only Erhu could wake up from this misfortune, who knows, he might have an even greater future ahead of him. Erhu is a capable man.” Zhao Xinglin was open-minded and thought things through clearly.

Despite Lin Yue’s ticulous care, two days had passed, and Zhao Erhu still hadn’t awakened. Though his breathing was steady, he showed no response no matter how he was called. Fortunately, thanks to Doctor Zheng’s instructions, she was prepared for such a situation.
