After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

Chapter 307: Broken muscles and bones

"My second uncle went there. My father is in the city too, so he must have gone there too."

Old Man Ye pushed the bowl away and walked out with his hands behind his back.

"Grandpa, go eat something else." Ye Qing persuaded Old Man Ye.

"I'm full. You guys eat. Don't worry about me. I'm going to the village entrance to chat with people." Old Man Ye left without looking back.

Li called out to Boss Ye who was about to follow her out, "Don't worry about him, you guys eat first, he's thinking about the third brother, I'll make him some more later."

Boss Ye sat back down again. He had been busy all day and was very hungry.

Ye Dalang ate faster because he was worried about Old Man Ye going out alone.

Ye Zhu and Ye Cheng ate absent-mindedly. There was no elder in the family, and they were the oldest and had to take care of the other children.

"Ye Zhu, eat more. Just treat it like you're at home and eat your fill." Zhou picked up some food for the children.

"Thank you, auntie. We can get it by ourselves." Ye Zhu took the dish and took two bites.

Seeing how happily they were eating, Zhou gave them another bowl of rice. Little boys, you are eating too much. Children of this age are just at the age when they can eat.

Ye Qing watched them eat happily and added another half bowl of rice. Only after he finished eating did he realize he was too full.

After finishing his meal, Ye Qing followed Ye Dalang and the others to the village. Everyone in the family was worried about Third Grandfather, and they would not feel at ease until they saw him come back in person.

Ye Dalang brought a cup of tea and handed it to Old Man Ye.

"Da Lang, why hasn't your Third Grandfather come back yet? Is it because your Uncle Wen Zheng can't take care of him alone?"

Ye Dalang scratched his head and said, "Grandpa, I have to go to the police station in a while. I'll ask Qingya to find someone to check it out." Ye Dalang was busy with official business and couldn't walk around.

Qing Ya took over the conversation, "I'll ask Ye Fan to take someone to take a look."

Old Man Ye was old and thought a lot, so he agreed to let Ye Fan take people to take a look.

Ye Qing asked Ye Zhu to follow her to Qingbufang, and then the two of them drove a ox cart to the city.

"Is Brother Ye Fan here? I'm Ye Zhu."

Ye Fan heard the noise and came out of the workshop, and saw Ye Qing and Ye Zhu standing at the door with anxious looks on their faces.

"Qingya, has something happened to Ye Zhu?" Ye Fan's heart was lifted.

"Third Grandpa broke his leg and has been in the city for a long time. You take Ye Zhu to the clinic where Doctor Lin is. Here is ten taels of silver. Take it with you for emergency use."

Ye Fan did not dare to delay. He went to the barn to get the cow, took Ye Zhu with him and went to the city.

Ye Qing went to the village entrance to help look after the children. The children were having so much fun that they were reluctant to go home.

Old man Ye was more like a child than the children themselves, and he sat at the entrance of the village waiting for someone to come back.

After a while, Li came over with a few palm-leaf fans and distributed them to Old Man Ye and Ye Qing.

"There are mosquitoes everywhere here, use your fans to fan them away."

Ye Qing and Old Man Li took the fans and swatted the mosquitoes left and right. They both sprayed mosquito repellent on themselves, but there were still mosquitoes that pounced on them desperately.

Ye Fan and Ye Zhu walked for about half an hour, and Ye Qing saw Third Grandma and the women in the family entering the village.

They saw Ye Qing and his grandson sitting at the entrance of the village, stopping the ox cart to talk.

"Brother and sister-in-law are cooling off here."

"Third sister, you are finally back. Your home is empty, so come to my house for a meal first." Li was the eldest sister-in-law and was easy to talk to.

"No need, sister-in-law. Several people at home are waiting for dinner. I'll go back and cook first."

Several young women in the car got off and greeted Li and Old Man Ye.

Old Man Ye didn't say anything, but nodded.

"The third child fell down and his leg is hurting. Wen Zheng took him to the clinic, but he hasn't come back yet." Mrs. Li looked worried.

"How did you fall? Is it serious? I'm only going out for a day, why are you so worried?"

"Don't panic, Third Brother. It's just a problem with your leg. Stop crying. Several of your nieces and nephews-in-law have been scared by you." Li hurried to comfort him.

Ye Wenyuan's daughter-in-law, Chen, hurriedly supported her mother-in-law.

"Mom, Dad will be fine. Don't get excited. The family still depends on you to take charge."

Tian patted her daughter-in-law's hand, wiped the tears from her face, and asked a few more questions.

After learning that both of his sons had gone, Ye Fan took his eldest grandson with him as well, and he was no longer so panicked.

"Thank you, brother and sister-in-law, for helping take care of the children. We will go back and cook for them when they come back to eat."

Seeing that Third Grandma and the others were shaking violently, Ye Qing jumped onto the ox cart and sent them back.

Ye Qing sent them home and helped pour some water for them to drink to relax.

Chen took her sister-in-law Yang to the kitchen to cook. Chen first made a bowl of egg tea for her mother-in-law to fill her stomach.

Ye Qing comforted Third Grandma for a few words and continued to wait for people at the village entrance.

This time they didn't have to wait long. Ye Fan was driving the ox cart in front, and Ye Wen was driving the ox cart behind.

Old Man Ye stood up and took a few steps forward.

"Wen Zheng, how is your father?"

Ye Wenzheng also saw Old Man Ye and said, "Uncle, my father's leg is broken. Doctor Lin put a board on it to fix it."

"Brother, I'm fine. I'll be fine in a few days. Don't worry."

Old Man Ye also saw his third brother. Seeing his legs wrapped tightly, his eyes were full of heartache.

"Third brother, we are old and don't need to work in the fields anymore. Not letting our children take care of us is the greatest help to them."

"I know, big brother. You should be careful too. We are old now. Don't try to be stubborn."

Li came over and said a few words of concern, "Wen Zheng, take your father back and take good care of him."

"Don't worry, auntie. There will always be people around my father." Wen Zheng agreed readily.

Ye Wenyuan drove the ox cart over, and Old Man Ye gave him a few more instructions before letting them go back.

Ye Fan did not follow him back, but came over to tell Ye Qing what he had seen.

"Third Grandpa's leg is still a little serious. It will take a hundred days to heal the broken bones. Doctor Lin asked him to lie down and recuperate."

"That's right. I'll buy some bones and send them over tomorrow." Ye Qing guessed so.

"When we arrived, Third Grandpa's leg had just been bandaged, and they didn't have enough money with them, so I gave the money I had to Uncle Wenyuan."

Ye Qing nodded to show that he understood, "Go back quickly, you have worked hard today."

Ye Fan said nonchalantly, "What's so hard about this? I'm also worried about Third Grandpa. I came back with peace of mind only after seeing with my own eyes that he was fine."

Ye Fan drove the cows back home. Now it was late, so he didn't go back to send the cows back. He would feed them at home and send them to the workshop tomorrow.

Ye Qing looked at the sky and helped his grandparents go back.

Neither of them wanted Ye Fan to send them back, they wanted to walk back by themselves, just as a form of exercise.

Ye Qing followed the two men, listening to them telling stories about strange countryside stories, and walked slowly home.

Boss Ye came to pick them up, "Dad, is mom tired? Do you want me to bring the ox cart over?"

"I'm not tired. Let's take a walk and stretch our legs."

Boss Ye did not force them and walked slowly with them home.

"How is my third uncle? Is his leg injury serious?"

"He's been tied up with a wooden board. It will take a hundred days for his broken bones to heal. He needs to recuperate at home." Ye Qing explained the situation.

~ I will update a little later tomorrow, probably in the afternoon. I have been too tired these past two days. I will try to finish the manuscript tomorrow~
