Unlimited Resources: Raising a Minister with a Space Supermarket-Chapter 536 - 470: Hatred

In the entire city of Yangcheng, all the doctors are male, except for Doctor Jin from the west side of the city who has a daughter. She’s his only child, so Doctor Jin teaches his daughter medicine hand by hand to ensure the family skill isn’t lost.

Yu Xiaolian had met Doctor Jin’s daughter once during the joint effort to treat the epidemic in Quanyang City. Female doctors are rare, so Yu Xiaolian managed to exchange a few words with Doctor Jin’s daughter.

Fang Cao complied with Yu Xiaolian’s request and took away the charcoal fire with an iron poker.

"Herbal, hurry and bring in cold water, as much as you can!

Bath bucket, bring the bath bucket in for me.

Right, don’t let the servants come in; you call Xincao, and you two move it."

Yu Xiaolian saw Sun Manyue grimacing in pain and became even more anxious.

Burns are incredibly painful, unlike any other injury. The burning sensation on the skin doesn’t fade away easily.

"Manyue, hang in there. The cold water is coming soon. When it does, get into the water for relief from the pain," Yu Xiaolian comforted Sun Manyue.

Sun Manyue cried so much her eyes couldn’t open. Her tears were salty and made her eyes feel gritty.

Yu Xiaolian handed over two sheets of tissue paper, and Sun Manyue wiped her tears vigorously.

"My mother is just as stubborn as a pig. If I had known, I’d rather not marry in this lifetime than follow her back to Yangcheng.

To be honest, she wanted me to marry my cousin. No matter what she said, I didn’t agree. I had to threaten and plead with her until she brought me to Yangcheng to find you."

On the way, her mother, concerned about her own reputation, specifically warned both of them not to let Yu Xiaolian know about this matter. But at this moment, Sun Manyue couldn’t help but want to spill everything, all the grievances she suffered in Canghe Village.

"She claims she came to Yangcheng for me, but I believe she was thinking about her parents. It wasn’t for me at all. If she hadn’t forced me back, I wouldn’t have wanted to return.

Coming back here, they didn’t build a house or farm the land, just attended to her parents out of filial piety. Now, it’s all messed up; they spent all the money, even the dowry money my grandfather saved for Mansheng’s wife.

Sister Xiaolian, I want to return to Luocheng, back to Taohua Village!" The more Sun Manyue spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, and the louder she cried.

"What’s going on in there, Xiaolian?" Su Jingchen’s voice sounded outside the door.

Yu Xiaolian couldn’t afford to comfort Sun Manyue. She pushed the door open and explained the situation to Su Jingchen.

Su Jingchen frowned, his expression complicated as he looked at Sun Wulin’s wife standing nearby until she lowered her head deeply. Only then did Su Jingchen withdraw his gaze.

"Since Manyue is injured, it’s inconvenient for me to help, so I’ll trouble you.

I still have matters to attend to in the front, so I’ll go first." Su Jingchen was initially with Li Wenyuan, auditing this year’s autumn tax amounts for the shops. Suddenly, he heard the cries of a woman from the direction of Yu Xiaolian’s room in the back courtyard. He thought something had happened to Yu Xiaolian. Seeing his wife was alright, Su Jingchen returned to the front courtyard.

"Xiaolian, how is Manyue?" Sun Wulin’s wife grabbed Yu Xiaolian to ask. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"She’s seriously injured, and she might have a large scar on her body!"

Yu Xiaolian’s voice was cold; she couldn’t pretend to be warm and gentle with Gao at the moment.

She witnessed with her own eyes how much force Gao used when she slapped Sun Manyue. If Gao had been a little more gentle, Sun Manyue wouldn’t have lost her balance and fallen into the charcoal basin.

The real culprit was Gao. Yu Xiaolian didn’t want to pretend like others, comforting Gao by saying it wasn’t intentional or on purpose.

She didn’t want to say those words at all.

Not to mention Sun Manyue hated Gao; Yu Xiaolian hated her too!

Back in Taohua Village, Sun Erji’s wife was always worried, unhappy, but Gao, also a ’widow,’ was completely the opposite. She was strong and independent, optimistic, raising four children alone without a man, which was something Yu Xiaolian respected.

Yu Xiaolian didn’t expect Gao to be such a ’foolishly dutiful’ person.

"What? A large scar?" Sun Wulin’s wife gaped, her eyes brimming with tears, "I knew it, her clothes caught fire, and I knew it wouldn’t be minor."

Sun Wulin’s wife undoubtedly loved Sun Manyue. She regretted it deeply, cursing herself for losing her temper when her daughter threatened to file a lawsuit and failing to control her own actions. It was all her fault.

Yu Xiaolian didn’t say much to Sun Wulin’s wife and instead quickly went back inside.

Cold water was ready, and Yu Xiaolian urged Sun Manyue to get into the bath bucket.

Once Sun Manyue was in the cold water, it soon turned into warm water.

Initially, the burning sensation reduced, and Sun Manyue’s pain lessened, making her sigh with relief.

Sun Manyue soaked in the cold water for about fifteen minutes before Yu Xiaolian had her come out.

Her buttocks were a mess of blood and flesh; soaking longer would easily lead to infection.

Sun Manyue was reluctant to leave the water. Only when soaking in the water did she not feel pain. As soon as she left the water, the searing pain drove her to the brink of despair.

Sun Manyue lay on the kang, sweating profusely from the pain. Yu Xiaolian muttered to herself as she opened the cabinet while lifting Sun Manyue, "I remember we have burn ointment at home, let’s see where I put it, I’ll look for it!

Hey, found it. I’ll apply some for you. This might help relieve the pain."

The pharmacy of Doctor Jin in the west of the city was quite far, though by now someone should have invited them back. It’s likely Doctor Jin’s daughter went out for a consultation and wasn’t home.

Doctor Jin’s daughter can be said to be even busier than Doctor Jin himself. Many women, concerned about reputation, had some private ailments unsuitable for male doctors, so they endured until the news spread that Doctor Jin’s daughter could practice medicine. Women and young ladies then sought her out in an endless stream.

Yu Xiaolian, unwilling to let Sun Manyue endure endless pain, simply took out disinfectant and Jingwanhong ointment from her space.

Sun Manyue wanted to turn to look, but Yu Xiaolian quickly pressed her head down, "Don’t move!"

Yu Xiaolian first disinfected Sun Manyue’s wound. Due to the large area of injury, Yu Xiaolian directly poured a bottle of disinfectant over Sun Manyue’s buttocks and waist without using cotton swabs.

"Ow, it hurts!" Sun Manyue gasped in pain.

"I’m disinfecting your wound; don’t move around. Bear with the pain a bit!" Pouring disinfectant on a raw wound surely hurt, but feeling some pain now was better than letting the wound fester from improper treatment.

Just after disinfecting Sun Manyue, Fang Cao returned with the female doctor, and Yu Xiaolian quickly put the ointment and disinfectant back in the space.

"What’s that smell?" The female doctor had a keen sense of smell; she immediately noticed the strong scent of disinfectant upon entering.

"It’s disinfectant. I’ve already disinfected her wound." Yu Xiaolian did not hide it.
