After Mother Remarried, I Laid Down Three Ground Rules With My Stepfather

Reborn into this life before the age of two, my Father vanished on his way to the provincial exam in the capital—alive, he was never found; dead, his body never returned. That very month, Grandfa...

307 Luyang City Disturbance

307 Luyang City Disturbance

The day before Sun Sicheng left, he asked Wanli to pay 50 taels of silver per head. The youngest Xiao Ming also received 10 taels of silver because he had been helping with firework in the military medical department.

This made everyone very happy.

Including the monthly wages from both sides, the travel expenses from the military camp, the occasional red envelopes from Master Ping'an, and these fifty taels, each person has over one hundred and fifty taels, which is a huge sum of money.

Erqiang was thinking about whether he should leave some private money after returning home this time.

It would be better to keep half of it. I have taken it all back every year in recent years. I have several hundred taels now, and I should keep some for my future family.

He is eighteen years old this year. His parents will definitely mention marriage when he goes back, and it is indeed time for him to get married. However, he is still unsure about what kind of person to marry, so it would be best to ask Ping An someday.

Master Xiaowu and Xiaoshan are going to get married this time when they return, and of course they are both older than him.

But this is not the point. The point is that the people they want to marry are all subordinates of the eldest son and Ping An. They are all engaged, so they can be kept by their side without worrying about anything being leaked.

If he married a girl from his hometown and didn't bring her out, he wouldn't see her all year round. What's the point? If he brought her out, would there be a lot of relatives hanging around? Maybe he would be disliked by the eldest son in the future.

Erqiang had no idea that he was at peace.

But I have to say that his concerns are correct.

It was already afternoon when we arrived at Luyang City. It was no worse than Yingtian, with people coming and going in the city, and the snack business was especially busy.

Ming Wanli led the convoy directly into the Sun family’s house here.

Jixiang and Daniu had arrived ahead of time. The maid and the doorman who stayed in the house had already boiled hot water, cooked food, and cleaned the house.

This is a two-story house with more than a dozen rooms in the front and back, enough for them to live in.

Sun Sicheng and Ping An had just gotten off the car, and Jixiang thought about it and said, "Master, something happened at the medical clinic. No, it can't be said that it happened at the medical clinic."

He Jin urged him, "Jixiang, what are you talking about? Come on."

Jixiang said, "A quarter of an hour ago, I came to the door of our clinic, ready to tell the shopkeeper that you were here, when I saw two groups of people arguing in front of the door. I hurried over to take a look and found that it was a young woman from West Street who was giving birth. I heard that the fetus was in an abnormal position, so one of the midwives ran away and the remaining one was helpless.

The woman's family found a doctor and wanted to ask a doctor to help the baby to position itself, but the mother-in-law would not allow the doctor to come in and only allowed the midwife to teach. The midwife did not understand anything and no one knows how the baby is doing now."

Sun Sicheng frowned: "Does Manager Liao know I'm here?"

Jixiang nodded.

Baicaotang is not far from here. As long as conditions permit, he will try his best to build his house near the medical clinic so that it will be convenient when something happens.

"Ping An, let's go and take a look. Ruyi, bring a medical kit and follow us. Wanli will be on the way. The others can go inside and rest. We will stay here for a day tomorrow."

Ping'an followed his master for less than a short while and saw a fight breaking out in front of the clinic entrance.

The shopkeeper was roaring, "Everyone, leave, or I will report you to the police."

This man with full of energy doesn't look like a shopkeeper at all, but rather an instructor.

A middle-aged man said angrily, "Mrs. Wan, I am divorcing your son on behalf of my daughter. Da Hu, Er Hu, go and carry your sister home. Anyone who dares to stop us will be killed with a knife."

Two young men picked up axes and prepared to leave.

A young man with red eyes said, "Boss, please let Doctor Xu go with you. They are my wife and my child. I don't care about them. At worst, we can just split up the family, but I won't allow you to divorce me."

"Young Master, you are here." Shopkeeper Liao looked delighted.

Ping'an suddenly felt that the voice did not match his appearance at all. The shopkeeper was not very old, only about thirty years old, very gentle and fair-skinned.

"What's the commotion?"

"Master, Master You's daughter is giving birth, the fetus is in an abnormal position, it is suspected that she was stepped on, the midwife couldn't help, Doctor Xu wanted to do it himself, but her mother-in-law refused, so Doctor Xu had to come back, I don't know how it's going now."

"Stupid, if it was your own daughter, would you have just let her die and not let the doctor touch her? It's just a normal pregnancy through the clothes, what's the big deal?"

The middle-aged man knelt down with a plop: "Master, you are the master of Baicao Hall, please save my daughter. If you don't save her, both the adult and the child will die."

The young man also knelt down and said, "Master, please save my wife and child. She is not my biological mother, so why would I care about my step-wife's life or death? I went to buy medicine before, and I don't know about the doctor's affairs. Master, as long as you save people, it has nothing to do with that person."

A woman was throwing tantrums on the ground: "I don't care, I don't care. My kindness was taken for granted. I was touched by a man. I will see whether I can live with dignity in the future."

Sun Sicheng said angrily, "Manager Liao, if anyone from this woman's family comes to see a doctor in the future, you don't have to treat her or sell her medicine. Just say it was me who said so and go."

The old woman forgot about her tantrum and said that Baicaotang was the best hospital here. Her son was not in good health, so she would come to get some medicine from time to time.

Ping An raised the corners of his lips, and the master was angry.

Well done.

What an extremely stupid person! Even if it's just torturing your stepson, you can't joke about human life.

The old woman didn't catch up after all.

When Sun Sicheng and his team arrived at the bedside of the woman in labor, her face was pale from the pain and her mother was crying anxiously.

"Ping An, give her a piece of ginseng to hold in her mouth."

Ping An opened the medical box, took out a piece of ginseng and put it in the mouth of the woman in labor. This was also a sin in ancient times. The woman in labor looked very young, no more than sixteen or seventeen years old.

Women of this age haven't even fully developed their pelvis yet, making them most likely to have accidents during childbirth.

Sun Sicheng looked at the young man who followed him in and asked, "Are you her husband?"

The young man nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Master, how is my wife? I will do anything to save her and her mother."

"It's very bad. Both mother and child are not well. I'm afraid it's too late to normalize the fetus now. Ping An, you try to normalize it."

Ping An did not hesitate. There was a thin sheet covering his young wife. He did not lift the sheet but directly touched the fetal position. The placenta had already fallen and it was a little difficult to deliver.

If it were modern times, it wouldn't be that troublesome. A caesarean section would be enough, or you could put your hand in to help with the position, but these don't work here.

He could only recall the most useful set of massage sequences in modern times. The young woman screamed repeatedly, and Sun Sicheng gave her another piece of ginseng.

A quarter of an hour later, Ping An stopped and said, "Master, that's enough. Give her a few more injections. She should be able to give birth soon."

Sun Sicheng said, "Let me do it."

He can accurately find the acupuncture points through clothes, so Ping An is okay, but not as good as him.

When Sun Sicheng removed the needle, the young woman screamed even more miserably.

Sun Sicheng looked at the midwife and said, "Let's go out first. She should be giving birth soon. You can deliver the baby as normal."

The midwife nodded, and the young woman's mother also came to her senses and started to help.

After less than half an hour, the baby was finally born with a cry.

Sun Sicheng left with Ping An and Ruyi without saying goodbye to anyone. What happened to the family was none of their business. Being able to avoid two deaths made them feel good.
