Can Dad's Leg Really Be Healed?

Zhou Wanwan looked at Zhou Qingyan beside her, Zhou Qingyan quickly nodded and said:

"There are hidden mechanisms inside, you don't need to worry about that."

Anyway, these big trees won't hurt us.

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "Mom, my dad's leg has been dragging on, hasn't it? We haven't been able to fix it yet. I'm planning to fix it for him tomorrow."

"OK..."

With one thing after another happening in the village, Zhou Wanwan really didn't have time to worry about her family.

Now that things have settled down in Black Wind Stronghold, she plans to help Zhou Fusheng heal his leg.

The next morning, Zhou Fusheng kept pacing around her door.

"Dad, why are you up so early?"

Liu Su'e said helplessly, "Your father didn't sleep a wink all night; he's overjoyed."

Zhou Fusheng rubbed his hands together and stammered, "Wanwan, will Dad's leg really get better?"

Zhou Wanwan quickly nodded and said, "Yes, definitely! Don't worry, I'm here. It's just a minor surgery."

Zhou Fusheng's nose tingled, and he looked at Zhou Wanwan and said:

"Daughter, your father has been so frustrated all these years. You don't know, since I was a teenager, they've called me a cripple."

I always felt that having a limp made me inferior to others.

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "Dad, you're better than them in every way."

Zhou Fusheng shook his head and said:

"Now the eldest, second, and third brothers are all working in the government, while we've become wanted criminals."

Thinking about this makes me feel sad. Imagine if we were at home...

Liu Su'e glared at him and said:

"You're so clueless! If you were really at home, your daughter would have been sold. How could you possibly live such a good life then?"

You really did enjoy a few days of good fortune and then completely forgot about what happened before.

Even if we're at home, we're just servants; we're expected to do everything.

There's no time to catch your breath; how can you feel comfortable here?

Zhou Fusheng scratched his head and said, "Hey! That's true! I misunderstood."

Zhou Wanwan looked at Zhou Fusheng and said:

"Dad, our lives will get better and better. We have no worries about food or clothing now."

Their success is only temporary. Don't worry, our future will be much better than theirs!

Zhou Fusheng chuckled and said, "Alright, Dad's been waiting for this day."

Zhou Wanwan looked at Zhou Fusheng and Liu Su'e and said:

"Mom and Dad, didn't we start a preschool class?"

I think you guys should also learn to read, since we older brothers will all have to participate in scientific expeditions in the future.

When I go to the capital, I'm sure I'll encounter all sorts of problems.

If you don't have a skill or specialty by then, you'll definitely be laughed at.

Liu Su'e looked at her and said, "Girl... girl, we're getting old, aren't we too old to be learning new things? Is it difficult to learn to read?"

Zhou Wanwan quickly shook her head and said:

"It's very simple. The key is Mom. If you learn to read, you can read many, many books, and the content in those books is very interesting."

For example, do you enjoy the stories I read to you every day?

Liu Su'e quickly nodded and said, "It sounds beautiful, especially beautiful."

Recently, Liu Su'e has become obsessed with storybooks.

Not only was Liu Su'e obsessed, but even these big trees enjoyed watching her.

In the evening, he would pull Zhou Wanwan aside to read storybooks.

Zhou Wanwan said:

"Once you learn to read, you can read storybooks on your own."

"I can also learn to manage a household; there are so many things to do in our family, I can't manage them all by myself."

Liu Su'e nodded and said:

"Honey, why don't we study together? Think about it, when we get to the Upper Capital, everyone there will be an official."

What if our son becomes the top scholar in the imperial examination and marries a daughter of an official? Would that family even look down on us?

We can't hold the child back, can we?

Zhou Fusheng nodded and said, "Once my leg heals, I'll study hard, and who knows, I might even pass the imperial examination and become a scholar."

Zhou Wanwan laughed directly. Actually, she thought Zhou Fusheng was quite smart, but he was a bit insecure and easily influenced.

In addition, being from the countryside, his limited perspective led to this very narrow way of thinking.

What Zhou Wanwan needs to do now is broaden their thinking and let them see the outside world.

That would give them confidence, and Zhou Wanwan began preparing the things needed for the surgery.

For her, it was a minor surgery, but complications were common in ancient times, and she dared not risk her father's life.

So she decided to use a very conservative treatment method, and she only kept her three older brothers.

Zhou Wanwan immediately administered anesthesia to Zhou Fusheng, then looked at the Old Scholar Tree beside her and said:

"I might need your help in a bit; you're much stronger than me."

I might need you to help my father realign his bones.

Zhou Wanwan originally planned to break his leg with a hammer and then readjust its position.

But then I saw the Old Scholar Tree next to me and an idea popped into my head. I could use the roots of the Old Scholar Tree to help me, which would save a lot of effort and be more effective.

She walked up to the Old Scholar Tree and whispered a few words of advice, "When I tell you to exert your strength, then do so. Don't rush."

The Old Scholar Tree's branches swayed gently, as if in agreement.

A moment later, a crisp "click" was heard, and the roots of the Old Scholar Tree put the dislocated bone back in place.

Zhou Wanwan leaned closer to take a closer look and said, "Just a little bit to the left, just a tiny bit, and it will fit perfectly."

The Old Scholar Tree's roots adjusted slightly, and with two soft "crack" sounds, its structure was completely straightened.

The three brothers standing nearby turned pale and dared not utter a sound.

Zhou Qingyan couldn't help but tug at Zhou Wanwan's sleeve and said, "Wanwan, is this really going to cure our father?"

Zhou Qinghe, trembling beside her, chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, this method is terrifying! Does forcing it really work?"

Zhou Qingchen couldn't help but complain, "Big brother, second brother, what's the panic? When has Wanwan ever done anything she wasn't sure of?"

Zhou Wanwan nodded, her tone resolute:

"Don't worry, this method will definitely work. I've already figured it out."

The Old Scholar Tree's strength is measured and precise; you can't be wrong about it.

See, it's all done now!

This method saves time and effort. Zhou Fusheng only needs to rest for a little over a month, plus the specially prepared Lingbao bathwater, and the problem will be solved.

Zhou Wanwan had the Old Scholar Tree put Zhou Fusheng on the bed and then went to the yamen.

Last night was absolutely insane! Zhou Wanwan thought they had only moved one house, but now she realized that those big trees had actually moved all the county government buildings back.

Bah! Except for the outhouse.

The Old Scholar Tree chuckled and said:

"That outhouse was so smelly, we couldn't stand it, so we didn't move it back."

However, these houses are all quite nice. The county government building is particularly sturdy, and the wood used is all very good quality.
