Chapter 325 His head was split open.
Xia He remained silent, and Xia Fanshi dared not make a decision on her own.
Finally, Fan Da simply invited a few people into the house: "If you don't pay, then we won't leave. We'll eat and drink here."
"You..." Xia He glared, but looking at the four tall and strong men, he knew he couldn't beat them, so he could only remain silent.
“Brother, we don’t have much money.” Xia Fan’s lips twitched. “Besides, we didn’t take any money in the first place. We just wanted to spread the word and improve your reputation. You…”
"I don't care. Now that my only grandson is injured because of you, you have to take responsibility." Fan Da was spoiled by his parents since he was a child. His older sister existed only to support him. So, even now that he is old, he still doesn't have much respect for his sister.
She's the type who'll do anything for whoever feeds her and whoever has money.
Yun Yi, Wang Tianshun, and Xiao Jinxiu were setting up a room in the medicine hut that could be used for surgery. Everything inside had been boiled at high temperatures and then disinfected with purified strong liquor.
The only drawback is the lighting. There's no electricity here, so we can only use candles or oil lamps, which both produce smoke and flickering flames, making it very inconvenient for surgery.
Even with glass, this problem still cannot be solved.
Of course, Yunyi could make a manual power generator, but that would require a lot of work, such as rubber, conductive wire, and so on...
In short, if we were to actually develop electricity, it would directly propel society forward by a century.
No way, it's too tiring, and it's too outrageous.
So, let's just make do.
Of course, Yunyi is setting up this operating room mainly for the two pregnant women in her family, especially He Miao, whose due date is next month and she could go into labor at any time.
In this era, childbirth is like putting a woman on the brink of death; one wrong move and both mother and child could die. If she didn't have medical skills, that would be one thing, but now that she does, she naturally has to ensure the safety of both mother and child.
There's also Liu Mei, an older mother, coming up next.
Just then, a commotion arose outside, and then someone was heard calling for Doctor Wang.
When Wang Tianshun went out to take a look, he was shocked to find that Xia He had actually cracked open someone's head. Without even asking why, he hurriedly ushered the person into the room and began to treat the wound.
With Xiao Jinxiu assisting, Yunyi didn't step forward. After all, it was just a head injury, not a death sentence. So, she gossiped with the village chief who brought the person: "What happened?"
"Sigh." The village chief sighed, glancing at Xia He with some disgust. "Isn't it all because of these two clueless people? Fan Dadong got beaten up and came demanding money. Xia He refused, so he got beaten up too. We heard the commotion and went to help, but Fan's wife blocked us from doing so, so..."
Yunyi laughed: "So, it was all for nothing."
Even the village chief couldn't help but shake his head.
The wound was quickly treated. Although it looked quite scary with all the blood, it wasn't very big. Fan Da had thrown a brick at Xia He, who dodged it, so it didn't hit him hard, but it did scrape off a piece of scalp.
"Master, don't forget to collect the consultation fee," Yunyi reminded him. "We're all from the same village, so give us the cost price."
"Ten coins," Wang Tianshun said without hesitation.
Xiahe's face was very ugly, but he couldn't refuse to give her the money. He took out ten coins, put them down, covered his head, and walked out. He really couldn't keep that woman. She had been beaten by her brother, and she had even pleaded for him. Since that was the case, he would go back to his brother.
Just as they reached the door, they encountered Xia Jinshan, who had rushed over after receiving the news. Seeing Xia He's face covered in blood, Xia Jinshan asked anxiously, "Dad, what happened to you? Are you alright?"
Xia He looked at his eldest son and then thought of his youngest son who had died young. Suddenly, his eyes reddened. He had sons, so why did he have to let that guy surnamed Fan come and bully them?
"Dr. Wang, what's wrong with my father?" Xia Jinshan couldn't help but look at Wang Tianshun behind him.
"You must be stunned by the impact," Wang Tianshun chuckled. "It's alright, go back and rest, eat something good, and you'll recover in a few days."
Xia Jinshan finally breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but glance around: "Where's Mother?"
"She's worried about her brother," Xia He said irritably. "I'm going back to divorce her right now."
Yunyi's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly followed. Since she had nothing better to do, she figured she might as well watch the excitement.
Xia Fanshi had already seen her younger brother's family off and was rushing to see Xia He when she encountered him returning to the medicine hut. She hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master, you..."
*Slap!* Xia He slapped her across the face: "Fan Pandi, I'm giving you a divorce letter right now. Go back to your Fan family."
"My lord, you can't do this!" Madam Xia finally panicked. "I've been married to you for so many years and have given you two sons. You can't treat me like this, you..."
"How dare you say that all these years ago, your family demanded a dowry of twenty taels of silver, and later sent it back to your parents' home whenever you had a little money? Now, your brother wants to beat me to death, and you're still protecting him. Do you expect that if I get beaten to death one day, your whole family will go to your brother?"
It must be said that Xiahe is quite clever, but he is also extremely selfish. So, when he was exploiting his two sons at first, he didn't think much of it. But now that his younger son is dead and his older son no longer relies on them, he finally realizes that something is wrong and decides to stop his wife's behavior.
"No, husband, my family has only had one son for three generations. You know we don't have any grandsons. I was thinking that in the future we'll probably have to rely on Da Dong, so..."
“You have sons, and both your sons and daughters-in-law are filial. How can you expect anything from a grand-nephew?” Gao Shunfang scoffed. “I’m telling you, Jinshan’s mother, are you out of your mind? Besides, Miaomiao is already married. At least her future children will have a son with the surname Xia. Wouldn’t that be Xia family blood? There’s even less need for the Fan family, don’t you think?”
Xia Fan lowered his head and remained silent.
"In short, I'm definitely divorcing you, my wife." Xia He's attitude was firm. After all, he had had enough of life these past few years since his son and daughter-in-law moved out. Anything good had been sent to the Fan family. He couldn't even have a bite of meat. Why should he?
Xia Fan's face turned pale, making the side of her cheek that had just been slapped appear even redder: "Xia He, if you dare to divorce me, I'll hang myself at the door."
"Damn it." Xia He scoffed. "You hang yourself today, and I'll marry a new woman tomorrow. You think you can scare me with that dead thing? Only your two sons believe that. It won't work on me." With that, he pushed the other person away and walked straight away.
