Who would have known that the doctor, while not saying much on the surface, was negligent in his treatment due to the meager payment, leading to Shao Yao's disability? And that doctor had the nerve to say it was their own fault. Left with no other choice, he could only swallow the bitter pill of regret, while Shao Yao's mother carried that guilt to her grave.
"I have a method, which is to break Shao Yao's leg and reattach it; this way, she could return to normal. However, I am unsure if you are willing," Shao Yao's situation was different from Uncle Heng's, merely relying on acupuncture had little effect, so Yang Mengchen sought the opinions of Uncle Heng and his daughter.
"Miss?" Hearing suddenly that Shao Yao could return to normal, Uncle Heng was momentarily stunned before looking up at Yang Mengchen with eyes full of hope and hesitation.
He heard the Patriarch say that it was the Miss who healed the broken leg he had suffered, and that she had also healed Nobleman Hua and Prince Situ. It was clear that the Miss's medical skill was exceptional. But to break Shao Yao's leg again must be very painful, right? Shao Yao was still so young; could she endure such pain?
"Uncle Heng has forgotten when I treated Prince Situ's foot, Prince Situ did not feel a hint of pain," Yang Mengchen reminded him. "Shao Yao will naturally be the same. After reattaching the bone and proper convalescence, Shao Yao will be able to walk as normal people do."
Uncle Heng slapped his thigh, that's right, how could he have forgotten? Then, with a thud, he knelt before Yang Mengchen, "This servant and his daughter will be forever indebted to the Miss, ready to work like oxen and horses to repay your great kindness!" Having said that, he kowtowed three times with heartfelt gratitude, tears of appreciation welling in his eyes.
Shao Yao also knelt beside her father and kowtowed; the Miss not only treated her like family but was also going to heal her leg. She would never forget this debt of gratitude in her lifetime.
"Alright, everyone get up," Yang Mengchen gestured with her hand.
Uncle Heng quickly stood up, while Hai Tang also helped Shao Yao to rise.
"Hai Tang, help Shao Yao back to her room. Bai He, go get the medical kit. Wu Tong, go to the small kitchen and prepare the medicine," Yang Mengchen then turned to Uncle Heng, "Uncle Heng, please sit here and wait; you can come in after the surgery is over."
When the four maids first came to her side, aside from Shao Yao, the other three were named after flowers or were simply called 'maid', so she had to give them new names. During this time, not only did she teach them medical knowledge, but she also taught them literacy and martial arts. The four maids studied very diligently and had already made some progress.
"Yes, Miss," Uncle Heng answered respectfully.
Yang Mengchen went up to the second floor, to the room Shao Yao shared with Hai Tang, instructing Shao Yao to sit on the bed and rest her right leg on a stool in front of her, with the middle section being exactly where it needed to be broken.
Once Bai He brought the medical kit, Yang Mengchen first washed her hands in a basin of medicinal liquid, then sat down on the stool, took out the Black Needle and inserted it into the acupuncture points of Shao Yao's right leg to numb it, and then selected a hammer of suitable size from the medical kit to sterilize it.
She signaled to Hai Tang to cover Shao Yao's eyes, and with a well-controlled strike, Yang Mengchen brought the hammer down to the precise spot.
A snap was heard—her leg was broken!
Setting aside the hammer, Yang Mengchen carefully checked that the leg was completely broken, then she properly aligned the bones, applied her homemade healing ointment, and bandaged the leg.
Wu Tong brought over the medicinal soup. After Shao Yao took it, Yang Mengchen instructed Hai Tang and Bai He to help Shao Yao lie down on the bed and rest. She ordered Hai Tang to take good care of Shao Yao over the next few days and mentioned some precautions before returning to the downstairs living room with Bai He and Wu Tong.
In the living room, Uncle Heng was still standing in the same place but was now turned towards the door, his expression alternating between worry and joy. His hands by his side clenched and then released, clenched then released, betraying his unease. Seeing Yang Mengchen emerge, he couldn't help but ask cautiously, "Miss...?"
"The bone has been properly set. Later, I will have Qiao Niangzi prepare a special medicinal diet just for Shao Yao. She should recover within three months," Yang Mengchen said with a smile, "Shao Yao is resting now; you should go check on her."
"This servant thanks the young miss for her kindness!" Uncle Heng knelt down and kowtowed heavily, then rose with tears in his eyes to go see his daughter.
Bai He and Wu Tong were happy for Uncle Heng and his daughter. At the same time, they silently swore in their hearts to remain forever loyal to the young miss, or may thunder strike them down!
After ten days, Shao Yao was able to get out of bed and move around; her recovery was excellent.
Overjoyed to the point of near-disorientation, Uncle Heng was all smiles every day. Already hardworking, he now wished he could work twelve hours a day without sleep, in order to repay the young miss for giving Shao Yao a second chance at life. After all, with Shao Yao well again, he no longer had any worries, and her mother in heaven could rest in peace too.
In the blink of an eye, the employees' dormitories were completed. Yang Mengchen informed the staff in town to move in, and Luo Jingrui quickly sent over more than sixty new employees.
Having recruited more than fifty workers in the village and together with the new employees, Xu Xun took charge of them initially. Meanwhile, Yang Mengchen, Foreman Zhuang, and other craftsmen and apprentices started building a commercial street in town and recruited several village women to cook for the workers.
Yang Mengchen planned to first build a high-end hotel. The first floor would have a grand hall for banquets or for casual dining, the second floor for leisure and entertainment, the third floor for common private rooms, the fourth floor for luxury private rooms, and the fifth floor for VIP suites. With the fourth floor being elegant and the fifth floor opulent, the name would be the Yongchang Hotel.
Each floor and private room would have a bathroom, featuring a design that blended modern with ancient. They would be maintained by dedicated staff, who would ensure cleanliness and hygiene at all times.
Next to it, a large supermarket would be built. The first floor would sell furniture, the second floor general merchandise, the third floor clothing, the fourth floor jewelry, and the fifth floor would be the administrative area, with a basement floor for storage. The name would be Yongchang Supermarket.
Then, a row of three-story shops with unique features would be constructed.
Of course, a well-located residence was chosen for family members to stay when they occasionally visited town.
Having waited for so long, now that they were finally starting to build the shops, Yang Chenghong could barely contain his excitement.
"Sixth Brother, are you ready?" Yang Mengchen asked Yang Chenghong.
Not only Shopkeeper Lin but also Nangong Lingfei said that Sixth Brother had a natural talent for business and was astute and tactful in affairs. However, Sixth Brother was not yet thirteen years old and would only be a middle school student in modern times. She worried it might be too much for him but for now, she would watch over him until he was ready to stand on his own.
Yang Chenghong nodded repeatedly: "I'm all prepared, and besides, Ninth Sister is here. You'll teach me, right?"
"Of course! You're my Sixth Brother, and I will teach you everything I have. Whatever happens, we siblings will face it together!" Yang Mengchen nodded with a smile.
Blinking hard to hide the tears in his eyes, Yang Chenghong laughed joyfully. In his past life, he must have done some great deeds to have the fortune of being siblings with her in this life.
Watching the affectionate brother and sister, Chen Siyuan, who had been standing silently by the side, had a glint of a smile and tenderness in his eyes. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Ninth Sister, I'd like to work under Chenghong. Would that be possible?"
"Brother Siyuan?" Yang Chenghong looked at Chen Siyuan with surprise: "Just a few days ago, Shopkeeper Lin was still praising you for being earnest, diligent, and capable, saying that in a year or two he would promote you to be the manager of the main hall. What's going on?"
