Chapter 68 -68 What to Do When You Want to Chop Someone Up_1

As soon as Lin Yuan mentioned that she needed to consult a doctor for Lin Jiaxin, Lao Fan immediately frowned, plunked himself down on a stool, and grumbled, “Charlatans, they’re all charlatans!

They clearly agreed to make me something delicious after seeing the patient, huh, liars!

Another little charlatan!”

She behaved just like a bullied child, Lin Yuan held back a laugh, having never seen such an adorable old man.

“Like it or not!” Having already figured out Lao Fan’s temperament, Lin Yuan immediately threw out her trump card, “Da Ya, is the rice ready?

In a bit, your big sister will make you boiled fish, and yes, let’s also prepare some stir-fried river snails, get plenty of chili peppers ready, oh, and some small bamboo skewers.

Later, when eating the snails, use a skewer to pick and suck lightly, and the flesh will come right out from the shell.

Oh wow, that flesh, don’t even mention how tender it is, that flavor…”

“Where’s that patient?

Quick, let the old man take a look at once!”

In the eastern room, Lady Liu anxiously clutched her husband’s hand, while the Lin Yuan Sisters also looked at Lao Fan with faces full of worry.

The old man had been taking Lin Jiaxin’s pulse for quite some time, and just as Lin Yuan was getting impatient, wondering whether he was all talk and no substance, she saw the old man let go of Lin Jiaxin’s hand and started tapping and pressing on his leg and finally lifted the leg high, causing Lin Jiaxin so much pain that he grimaced and broke out in cold sweat.

Lin Yuan watched with distress and stopped the old man’s hand, the she-wolf beginning to throw a fit again, “You old codger!

Do you have any compassion at all?

Which doctor treats patients by torturing them like you do!”

“Da Ya, don’t be like that, let go!” Lady Liu, fearing that her daughter might offend Lao Fan and cause him to refuse to treat her husband, quickly intervened.

However, it seemed Lao Fan was well accustomed to such things and paid no mind to Lin Yuan’s attitude or actions.

Instead, his eyes twinkled with a strange light as he rambled on as if bewitched, “Rare indeed, to come across such a leg.

This must have been a fracture from the winter.

The bone setting was done alright, but sadly, they started walking on it before the bone was fully healed, so no wonder the bone is crooked.

It wouldn’t be too difficult to fix, just smash it and set it again.”

His solitary mumbling terrified the Lin family, to smash and set it again?

Wouldn’t that mean enduring the pain of a broken bone once more?

Not to mention that, if the old man failed to set it after smashing it, then what would they do?

They had never heard of such a bizarre method of treatment before.

Just as Lin Yuan was about to curse him out, she heard Lao Fan shaking his head and continuing his soliloquy as if nobody else was there, “That’s not enough, the leg not only has external injuries, but there is also dampness inside, the pathology has deeply penetrated the muscle tissue…”

Lao Fan muttered on and on, with Lin Yuan not quite understanding the back end of it, but she did grasp one thing – Lin Jiaxin had broken his leg in the winter, and the position of their house was not ideal, being on the shady side, with barely any sunlight throughout the day.

The house was damp and wet, which was bad enough for anyone living there, all the more so for Lin Jiaxin, a patient who needed sunshine due to his broken leg.

After all this talk, could he be cured or not?

That was the most pressing question for Lin Yuan and her family.

“Hey, old man, stop chanting spells!

Tell me, can my father’s leg still be healed?” Lin Yuan grabbed Lao Fan’s shoulders and shook them hard, finally snapping him out of his trance.

Lao Fan shook his head and sighed, “Tough, really tough, extremely tough.”

His repetition of ‘tough’ made Lin Yuan’s heart sink.

Lady Liu and Lin Wei already started to wipe away tears, and Xiao Linshuang bit her lip, holding back her tears.

It was Lin Jiaxin who gave a wry smile, comforting his family, “It’s fine, I’m doing quite well as it is, still able to carve models for Da Ya.”

Hearing this, Lin Yuan felt even more bitter.

She had initially thought she had really come across a once-in-a-lifetime expert, only to find that the outcome was just as poor.

Lin Yuan sniffed hard, suddenly feeling a tug on her sleeve.

Turning her head, she saw Liuzi, looking secretive as he leaned in and whispered, “I’ve heard the shopkeeper say that our boss loves to exaggerate to show off his super high medical skills and…”

Before Liuzi could finish, Lin Yuan had already grabbed Lao Fan by the collar, not knowing whether it was out of anger or joy.

She even felt the old man was endearing—where on earth was he endearing at all?

He was clearly just an annoying and troublesome old geezer!

She was furious!

“You damn old man!

Stop pretending and tell me if you can cure it or not!”

Startled by her outburst, Lao Fan immediately showed his true colors with a heh-heh laugh, “After eating boiled fish, I’ll tell you whether I can cure it or not.”

You jerk!

Lin Yuan wanted to find a kitchen knife again.

She really wanted to chop him into pieces!

In the end, Lin Yuan managed to captivate both Lao Fan’s stomach and his hands with a new dish every day.

He finally agreed he could cure the condition, but first, Lin Jiaxin had to re-break the bones that had grown crooked and let them heal properly.

During the recovery, Lao Fan’s unique acupuncture and herbal soup would assist.

Within three months, guaranteed, he could walk on the ground.

However, Lao Fan also emphasized one point, because Lin Jiaxin had been lying on the kang for over half a year.

Although Lady Liu often massaged him, his legs had atrophied somewhat.

Even if he could stand in three months, it was best not to walk immediately but instead use crutches and exercise gradually.

As for the complete recovery time, it would depend on the treatment process and his recovery condition.

Despite the arduous journey, at least there was hope.

The Lin Yuan family was very happy, and Lady Liu waited until the daughters left, then hugged her husband and had a good cry.

Lin Jiaxin’s legs couldn’t start treatment today, as Lao Fan hadn’t brought the tools for bone setting and acupuncture; thus, he could only come back tomorrow.

Lin Yuan didn’t care whether he really hadn’t brought the tools or just wanted to score another meal at her place.

Either way, she was happy today, and these little things didn’t matter anymore.

Since Lin Yuan had promised to use delicacies as compensation, Lao Fan didn’t ask for silver.

He even paid for the herbal soup Lin Jiaxin needed to consume.

Not only that, but Lao Fan also arranged for Liuzi to deliver fresh ingredients every day.

Whatever Lin Yuan needed, she just had to say the word, and as long as she could make something tasty to satisfy his mouth and stomach, that would be enough.

Lin Yuan suddenly felt it was incredibly lucky to have encountered such a professional and deep-level foodie.

With this deity presiding, her family could also improve their meals.

However, there was another pressing issue: Lin Jiaxin’s leg injury had worsened precisely because the house was damp.

Their house had poor orientation, so she had to consider building a new one.

Building a house in the countryside was no small matter.

Although she had some silver in hand, she didn’t understand the market and knew that the weather was still a bit hot.

It would be best to wait until the fall when the farm work was done to find people to work on the house.

Therefore, she thought of consulting someone knowledgeable about the market before deciding when to build.

Of course, there was an even bigger issue that was most troubling.

Despite the family having divided their property, the pack of wolves at the old house were always watching this side.

For the sake of two taels of silver, Lady Yang and her two daughters-in-law could come knocking, demanding payment and even trampling her vegetable garden.

So she had to settle matters there as well.
