Chapter 312: Chapter 0312 Bone Setting 2_1

Feng Qingxue had no words to say.

Filial piety doesn’t depend on whether one has many or few children, but on the heart.

If the heart is filial, whether one has many or few children, they would be very filial when they should be, and vice versa.

The fact that all four sons of Grandma Lu Sannong were lazy was widely known among the people of Wanglou Brigade. Whenever there were idle talks, people would say that they were lazily waiting for death. If it weren’t for work points related to provisions, they wouldn’t have been willing to work.

Besides working during the busy farming season, Feng Qingxue didn’t usually work. But everyone knew that she was pregnant and still had to treat injuries, practice medicine, and deliver babies for everyone, which kept her busy. In addition, she had money sent by Lu Jiang and things sent by comrades to get by.

Had the four sons of Grandma Lu Sannong any money? They were barely surviving on that little food. While diligent families grew a variety of melons and vegetables in their own fields to last them half a year, their fields were largely uncultivated.

It was devilish that the wives they married had the same lazy nature as them.

When they arrived at Grandma Lu Sannong’s house, with the help of neighbors, the collapsed roof and beams had been removed, and Grandpa Lu Sannong had already been carried to a shed by everyone.

Grandma Lu Sannong’s house had no yard, just two thatched huts and a shed for cooking.

Lu Sannong was lying in a pile of hay, groaning in pain. Outside the shed, a lot of people were standing, all there for the spectacle.

"Make way! Make way!" Feng Qingxue parted the crowd and walked into the shed. She put down her medical box, gently supporting her waist as she knelt down to examine Lu Sannong’s injury. The beam had unfortunately collapsed on his leg.

She touched his leg and found one leg was broken, and the femur of the other one was probably cracked.

The bones of the elderly are fragile, and many times a fall can break their legs.

Moreover, in such cases, elderly people with broken and cracked legs can’t have steel pins inserted. They can only lie in bed to recuperate, waiting for the fractured bones to heal themselves. Whether they can stand after healing up is entirely up to fate.

This is not just because medical science lags behind, even in the 21st century, if such an elderly person was sent to a hospital, this is what the doctor would say .

At the military region hospital, Guo Xiuying told her that the most important things in rural areas were deliveries and postnatal care, as well as minor injuries and ailments. Wu Zheng also told her the same thing, so setting and connecting bones was a major part of her learning.

In Lu Sannong’s groans of pain, Feng Qingxue skillfully set and connected his bones, using wooden boards to immobilise them. She also immobilised his leg with a cracked bone, worried that moving around might further split the cracked bone. She said, "A muscle or bone injury takes a hundred days to heal. The recovery of the elderly is not as quick as that of the young. Without at least half a year, the bones cannot heal. From now on, you should just lie in bed to recuperate."

Grandma Lu Sannong’s tears began to fall. Choking, she said, "What are we to do! With our house collapsed, where are we to live? How am I, an old woman, supposed to take care of him by myself?"

Feng Qingxue did not respond, and no one else had anything to say either.

Who doesn’t know the situation of their family in the neighborhood? If any of their sons were a bit diligent, they wouldn’t be in this state now.

"Instead of just crying, what good will crying do? Find your sons! You have four sons, each with a house. Can’t they accommodate you two old folks?" Lu Sannong’s elder brother, Lu Ernong, angrily thumped his crutch.

As soon as he had finished speaking, someone outside the crowd shouted, "Speaking of his sons, two of his sons’ houses have collapsed too!"
