Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 268 Fractured Ribs
Wei Laosan and Li Yuegui watched helplessly as Wei Jingyuan pressed and pressed on their son's chest. Their son's body trembled with each press.

The couple were furious, especially Li Yuegui, whose eyes were practically spitting fire as she glared at Wei Jingyuan.

If Wei Laosan hadn't held her hand down, she would have slapped Wei Jingyuan across the face long ago.

Finally, Wei Jingyuan stopped and looked up at Wei Laosan and Li Yuegui. He spoke calmly, "Aiguo's injury is likely a fractured rib caused by external force."

"What did you say?" The sharp voice came from Li Yuegui.

Wei Laosan also wanted to ask, but he was taken aback for a moment and was a beat slower than Li Yuegui.

“I said, Aiguo’s injury should be a broken rib caused by external force,” Wei Jingyuan repeated, adding, “To put it bluntly, Aiguo’s ribs are broken, but not broken.”

Her son's ribs were broken, but not fractured. Li Yuegui stared at Wei Jingyuan speechlessly for a few seconds, then flew into a rage and raised her hand to slap Wei Jingyuan's face…

Although Wei Jingyuan was not prepared for Li Yuegui to suddenly hit him, he still moved to the side and avoided Li Yuegui's hand.

Having failed to hit Wei Jingyuan, Li Yuegui was enraged. Her finger trembled as she pointed at him, "Wei Jingyuan, how dare you... how dare you..."

"Jingyuan." Wei Laosan looked at Wei Jingyuan with disappointment and said with heartache, "I am your third uncle, and Aiguo is your cousin. We will not blame you for your poor medical skills."

"But to say that the bones of patriotism are broken is going too far."

This was a sign that they didn't believe his diagnosis. Wei Jingyuan smiled indifferently and slowly stood up. "It doesn't matter that my third uncle and aunt don't believe my diagnosis."

"You can take Aiguo to the town hospital, or you can go directly to the county hospital for treatment."

"My diagnosis is that Aiguo suffered a rib fracture due to external force. Such injuries generally do not require medication and can heal slowly in two or three months."

"As a village doctor, I only report my diagnosis and treatment plan; the rest is not my responsibility."

After saying that, Wei Jingyuan didn't look at anyone else, walked up to Tao Qiuyi, and stood side by side with her.

Not only did Wei Laosan and Li Yuegui not believe Wei Jingyuan's diagnosis, but everyone else present, except for Tao Qiuyi, also disbelieved it.

After a series of examinations, he gave such an unbelievable diagnosis. Who would believe it?
"I told you not to let him show it to Aiguo, but you wouldn't believe me." Li Hongying finally found an opportunity to vent her anger, first scolding Wei Laosan and Li Yuegui.

Then he scolded Wei Jingyuan, "I knew you had ulterior motives, and it turned out to be true. Wei Jingyuan, Aiguo is your third uncle's son, and your cousin."

"How dare you say such a thing? You're talking nonsense. My precious grandson's heart is hurt because Tao Qiuyi stepped on him. It was Tao Qiuyi who hurt my precious grandson's patriotism."

"Wei Jingyuan, you're saying this to exonerate Tao Qiuyi and to protect her."

"You treacherous, ungrateful bastard! My Wei family is truly unfortunate to have produced such a creature as you."

Wei Laoda and Zhou Mei wisely stayed out of it, watching them make a scene.

Wei Laosan suddenly said, "Mother, you and Yuegui watch over Aiguo. I'll go find my fourth brother to rent an oxcart from the village, and we'll take Aiguo to the town hospital for a checkup."

Although he was a bit of a scatterbrain, he was still clear-headed and knew that his son needed to see a doctor.

Wei Jingyuan's medical skills were poor; he couldn't diagnose where his son was injured. But other doctors were skilled and would certainly be able to diagnose it.

"It's getting dark, and we're heading to town now..." Li Hongying didn't finish her sentence, only looking at the sky with worry.

"Don't worry, we'll send a few more people." Wei Laosan said and ran outside. Tao Qiuyi blinked; Wei Laosan's behavior surprised her. She had always thought of Wei Laosan as a mama's boy, always listening to his mother.

I didn't expect that he could still make decisions at crucial moments.

On the other hand, Wei Laoda seems to be doing everything, but in reality, he does nothing at all.

Wei Jingyuan wasn't surprised at all by Wei Laosan's decision. His third uncle was lazy by nature, liked to take advantage of others, meddled in everything, and lived a comfortable life relying on his grandmother and third aunt.

But when it really comes down to it, he's a very clear-headed person.

Time ticked by, and Wei Laosan returned with the oxcart; it was already dark. The only light in the courtyard was from the roaring fire in Wei Jingyuan's fireplace.

Wei Laosan returned alone, handing the torch he was holding to Li Yuegui. He then called Wei Laoda to help him lift the patriotic little fat boy onto the oxcart.

Zhou Mei was left at home to look after the house, while the four of them, along with Wei Aiguo, drove the oxcart straight to the town.

It was already dark. Zhou Mei glanced at Wei Jingyuan and Tao Qiuyi, snorted softly, and went back into the house.

Zhou Mei's gaze made Tao Qiuyi uncomfortable, sensing that she was holding back something bad. Wei Jingyuan noticed her mood, took her hand, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Shaking her head, Tao Qiuyi asked, "When I pushed your grandma out the door, I controlled my strength. She should have at most fallen on the chubby boy. How could the chubby boy have broken his ribs?"

A rib fracture isn't considered serious, but it takes time to heal on its own.

Wei Jingyuan said that medication is generally not needed, which is indeed standard treatment. If her homemade ointment is used, the bone can heal in just a few days.

"It must have been when Grandma got up that she pressed her hand on Aiguo's chest, fracturing his ribs," Wei Jingyuan said, speaking with a professional air.

"What a coincidence?" Tao Qiuyi was surprised, not knowing whether to say that Wei Aiguo, the chubby boy, was lucky or unlucky.

“Sometimes things just happen by chance.” Wei Jingyuan nodded and took her hand, leading her into the house.

Suddenly remembering something, Tao Qiuyi stopped in her tracks. "Wei Jingyuan, how can you be so sure that your grandma broke the little fat boy's ribs instead of me stepping on them?"

She not only stepped on Wei Aiguo's chest, but also kicked him out of the door.

“You stepped on Aiguo’s chest just to teach him a lesson, you didn’t mean to really hurt him.” Wei Jingyuan looked down at her and gently stroked her cheek.

"What if I didn't control my strength and accidentally hurt him?" Tao Qiuyi didn't know why she was so fixated on this matter; she just wanted to cause trouble.

“No, with your abilities, such an accident wouldn’t happen.” Wei Jingyuan said confidently, “My grandmother wouldn’t let me treat Aiguo’s injury because she wanted to cover up the truth.”

He knew all too well what his grandmother was thinking.

"That analysis makes a lot of sense." Tao Qiuyi nodded. "Tell me why your grandmother and uncle made such a fuss?"

"For the wild boar meat we're sharing today."

"That simple?" Tao Qiuyi felt it wasn't worth making such a fuss over a little bit of wild boar meat.

"Of course it's not that simple," Wei Jingyuan sighed.
