Hot Farmer's Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm

154 Wang Erya was Pricked by Black Locust Thorns

“Mom, it hurts…ah, it hurts! Mom!” It was Wang Erya’s voice.

Lin Xiaoyue’s expression changed, and she quickly knocked on the door.

“Who is it?” Aunt Wang’s voice quickly came from the courtyard.

“Aunt Wang, it’s me!” Lin Xiaoyue quickly said.

The door opened, and Lin Xiaoyue immediately saw Aunt Wang, who had a worried face and red eyes.

Not far behind her was Wang Erya, half of her face and hands red and swollen.

“What’s going on?” Lin Xiaoyue quickly asked.

After she entered, she quickly walked towards Wang Erya.

The poor girl’s eyes were filled with tears. The side of her face, and her eyes were red and swollen. Her right hand was also swollen, with no less than two wounds on it.

“She was stabbed by a black locust thorn! I just took some alcohol to disinfect her wounds. She couldn’t take the pain, so she was crying…it’s my fault, I shouldn’t have let her pick the thorns.” As Aunt Wang spoke, she used her sleeve to wipe her tears.

It was all because of her. If she didn’t ask her daughter to pick the black locust thorns, she wouldn’t be injured.

Lin Xiaoyue then noticed the wine and cloth on the small table.

“Aunt Wang, don’t blame yourself. The thorns are poisonous and Erya’s condition might be serious. We can’t simply use wine to deal with it. We have to hurry to the town’s clinic!” Lin Xiaoyue said.

Seeing that Aunt Wang was still hesitating, Lin Xiaoyue quickly said, “Erya is injured in so many places, and two of them are on her face. And I can see that there’s a broken thorn in her wound, so we have to take it out.”

When Wang Erya heard this, she burst into tears.

“Mom, I’m scared…”

Lin Xiaoyue’s heart ached when she saw this, let alone Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang’s tears were streaming down her face as she hurriedly hugged Wang Erya, “alright, I will bring you to the clinic! It’s all my fault. Erya, don’t cry!”

“Calm down. I’ll go back and bring the ox-cart over. Aunt Wang, pack up and bring Erya to the intersection to wait. I’ll bring you there!” Lin Xiaoyue quickly said.

“Sorry to trouble you.” Aunt Wang wiped her tears again.

“There’s no need to be so polite at this time. Quickly go and get ready.” Lin Xiaoyue instructed and stuffed the pastry in Aunt Wang’s hand. Then, she turned around, and ran away.

Back at the Liu family house, Lin Xiaoyue entered the kitchen from the side door.

Seeing Li Xiao preparing to unload the ox-cart, Lin Xiaoyue quickly stopped him.

“Erya has been pricked by a black locust thorn, so she has to be sent to the town’s clinic. I have to ride the ox-cart to send her and Aunt Wang there.” Lin Xiaoyue said.

Liu Shi also came out of the kitchen when she heard the noise.

“Is she seriously injured?” She asked anxiously.

It must be serious if she had to go to the clinic.

“It looks quite scary. There are wounds on her face and hands. The two wounds on her face are very serious. I have to go with them to make sure she’s okay.” Lin Xiaoyue answered as she got on the ox-cart.

“I won’t be back for lunch, so you don’t have to wait for me. After lunch, please soak 25 catties of polished rice, and wait for me to come back to grind it.”

“Alright.”

Liu Shi suddenly thought of something and quickly ran to the kitchen.

“Wait a minute. I’ll get you some buns, you guys can eat on the way.”

After a while, Liu Shi took out a bag of buns and handed it to Lin Xiaoyue.

“Aunt Wang and Erya must not have eaten either. Give these to them.” Liu Shi said.

“Yes, I’ll go now.”

Lin Xiaoyue took the buns and rode the ox-cart away.
