They've all separated, so what does it matter to me if they get poorer and poorer?

Chapter 243 All three were dumbfounded

"Just kidding! Just kidding!"

Young Master Qi forced a smile, feeling both embarrassed and ashamed, and pushed the man aside.

Xu Zhichun didn't have time to pay attention to him and quickly left with Liang Xiaoman along with Yang Xiaoan and Chunfen.

At the clinic, Xu Zhichun, behind Liang Xiaoman's back, specifically instructed Doctor Tang: "Just examine the patient carefully and use the best medicine."

Dr. Tang glanced at her and nodded.

Treatment for patients with ample funds is quick and efficient, requiring no deliberation or hesitation.

Soon, Liang Xiaoman's injuries were treated with medicine and bandaged as needed.

"The injury is a bit serious. Don't move around too much when you get back. You need to rest in bed for at least seven or eight days before getting out of bed. Don't do any heavy work for six months. It looks like there are also internal injuries. I've prescribed some medicine. Go back and decoct it as soon as possible and take it three times a day. Try it for two days and see."

Xu Zhichun's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "Dr. Tang, is this internal injury serious? It can be cured with medicine, right?"

In this era, without the relevant instruments and equipment, the diagnosis of internal injuries could only rely on doctors.

Dr. Tang smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. Just go home and rest well. As long as you don't do anything reckless, you'll generally be fine. However, things can be complicated, so don't be anxious."

Those who weren't talking about it were getting increasingly nervous!
Xu Zhichun knew the doctor wouldn't give a definitive answer, so she suppressed the urge to ask more and thanked him. She should have medicine for internal injuries in her storage space; she'd look for it and see if she could find another way to get Liang Xiaoman to take it.
Yang Xiaoan went to the market to inform Liang Mingliang, and soon Liang Mingliang and Zeng Xiaoyan came running over, panting.

Liang Xiaoman finally saw her first and second real relatives. Her eyes welled up with tears, and she cried out, "Third Uncle! Third Aunt!"

"Xiaoman!"

Liang Mingliang doted on his nephew. They were only a few years apart in age and had grown up playing together. He always considered himself the elder and looked after his nephew. Seeing his nephew injured like this, he felt both heartache and anger. "Don't cry, don't cry, you'll hurt your wound if you move it. How are you? Are you feeling better? Doctor, doctor!"

Xu Zhichun quickly said, "Brother Liang, don't worry, everything is alright now."

There were other patients in the clinic, and with so many people, the place felt cramped and noisy, so they left first.

Yang Xiaoan and Chunfen went to help Aunt Zhu'er continue selling things, while Xu Zhichun went back to the village with Liang Mingliang and the others.

It's obviously impossible to buy the cow today; we'll have to find another time.

Fearing that the bumpy ride would aggravate the wound, the already slow oxcart took even longer on its return journey.

Liang Xiaoman slowly recounted what had happened at the dock.

His father spent money and used connections to send him to be an apprentice. He learned to take inventory, count goods, do accounting, and do bookkeeping from his master. Perhaps it was also because Liangli was giving generous New Year's gifts during the holidays. His master also took good care of him. He was sweet-talking, diligent, smart, and eager to learn, so he didn't suffer much as an apprentice.

Unexpectedly, a few months ago, the warehouse was put in charge by a new manager, Zhang, who was parachuted in. Within a few days, Zhang found a reason to fire Zhang's mentor.

He couldn't leave because he had signed a contract with the merchants.

But once his master left, he was reduced to doing odd jobs.

Liang Xiaoman was in pain and conflicted during that time, and after thinking it over, she still didn't tell her father about it.

His parents have already worried enough about him, so he should just stay put. There will always be a chance.

Liang Xiaoman stayed behind to do odd jobs, working diligently, but without his master's care, what could a fifteen-year-old boy with no background or connections do? He was bullied quite a bit.

He gritted his teeth and endured it all, pretending not to hear and still greeting everyone with a smile, trying his best to do things to the best of his ability, even helping out with tasks that weren't his responsibility. Unexpectedly, fate seemed to be against the honest man. Today, while he was helping carry a box of goods on the road, the foreman's mule cart somehow got spooked, reared up, and crashed into a pile of goods. The pile of goods collapsed with a crash, and everyone screamed and scrambled to get out of the way.

Liang Xiaoman was the unluckiest; he was the one who was most seriously injured at the scene.

Besides him, four or five other people suffered minor injuries.

In an attempt to shirk responsibility, Manager Zhang blamed everything on him, claiming that he had caused the accident by crashing into his mule cart, which led to the subsequent events. Therefore, he argued that it was his own fault for being injured, and now that the business was being merciful and wouldn't ask for compensation, he should just get out of here!

What? He wants compensation too? He'd better dream on!
Zeng Xiaoyan couldn't help but curse, "They're utter bastards! This can't be left like this! We'll settle the score with them later!"

“My wife is right, we definitely have to settle accounts with them. If they’re unreasonable, we’ll put them in a sack and beat them up to vent our anger.” Liang Mingliang was also indignant and furious, wishing he could turn around and fight them right now.

Liang Xiaoman wiped her eyes, tears welling up, and sobbed, "Waaaaah!"

Liang Mingliang and Zeng Xiaoyan hurriedly comforted her, "Don't cry, don't cry, it's alright now."

Xu Zhichun quickly added, "Xiaoman, don't cry. What did Doctor Tang say? You still have internal injuries. If you aggravate them, it'll be no joke. I know you're upset, but it's okay. We'll get our revenge. There's always a way."

“Yes, yes, yes!” Liang Mingliang quickly said, “Your Aunt Zhichun is really amazing now. You’ll see when you get home. Our village and our family are doing much better thanks to your Aunt Zhichun. I think you shouldn’t even think about going to that wretched place. It’s a miserable experience with no money to be made. You should stay home and do something. Or, you could ask your parents to give you some capital and you could start a small business.”

After a short while, Liang Mingliang added, "When you ask your grandparents for capital, don't let your second aunt know. Hmm, and don't let your second uncle know either."

My second brother and sister-in-law are my closest family members. Who knows if my second brother will betray us and inform on us?

Liang Xiaoman was stunned: "."

Why has my home suddenly become so complicated?

He didn't quite understand.
Xu Zhichun's heart skipped a beat. What a coincidence! The small farm in Loujia Village was short of someone to manage it. Although Liang Xiaoman was young, he had already been an apprentice in the city for five years. He could read and write, and he could do accounting. He had seen more of the world than the villagers. Wouldn't it be great to hand over the small farm to him and ask him questions when he had time?

You have to understand, there are very few literate people these days, and even fewer who can both read and do math. Even if Xu Zhichun were willing to spend the money, it would be almost impossible for him to hire someone ready-made.

Unless there are various coincidences for special reasons.

Whether it's a business, a estate, or a farm, aren't the managers all trained by themselves?

There's no job market here where you can just pick and choose anyone.

The village head's family is trustworthy and has a good family tradition. At least from the half-day of interaction, Xiaoman is a pretty good person.

suitable.

Xu Zhichun had a plan in mind, so he also tried to persuade Liang Xiaoman, while casually trying to get some information out of her.

The more I use it, the more satisfied I become.

Once Xu Zhichun made up her mind, she didn't want to hide it anymore, otherwise Xiaoman would run away again, and she would have nowhere to cry.

Even if Zhang Quan and his family are very capable, all they know how to do is farm.

"Xiaoman, I have an estate in Loujia Village, with more than 300 mu of good paddy fields, more than 30 mu of land, and a house. Currently, there are 11 servants from three families living in the house. I am now short of a capable steward. Are you interested in considering it?"

All three of them were dumbfounded!
