Chapter 202 Fear

“In that case, Grandma, you can practice this method every day. After a period of time, you will definitely feel better. Grandma, you must rest well and not overwork yourself.”

Although Granny Cai was over fifty years old, she still looked a little shy as she listened to Li San Niang explain how to do the action.

Of the women present, only Li San Niang herself seemed unashamed; the others probably all felt embarrassed.

Li San Niang naturally noticed the embarrassment on Granny Cai's face. She smiled helplessly and said, "Granny, please don't feel embarrassed. This method is really effective and can really alleviate your condition."

Grandma Cai nodded: "I know. Dr. Li explained it to me in such detail, it must really be effective. I will definitely keep practicing when I get home."

"That's good. Take the prescription with you and come back to me in seven days."

"Thank you very much, Dr. Li."

After seeing off Granny Cai and the other two, Li San Niang recorded the examination, the questioning, and the prescription for the herbal medicine in Granny Cai's medical record.

Furthermore, Grandma Cai's case served as a reminder to Li San Niang that prenatal and postpartum rehabilitation exercises for women are a topic that can be taught.

Li San Niang took out the lecture notes she had written earlier for her mother and the others, and wrote this down.

Qiu Xiang usually just follows behind Li San Niang. She occasionally helps to pull down the curtain or hand over something, but she doesn't do much else.

She would only do things meticulously when Li San Niang called her to help.

Just like when Li San Niang saved Yang Shi at the wine shop that day, and when she went out to make house calls to deliver Yang Niangzi's baby, Qiu Xiang would give an order and do it.

Qiu Xiang wouldn't do anything on her own initiative; she would only do things when Li San Niang asked her to.

However, Qiu Xiang had just followed Li San Niang behind the inner curtain and watched Li San Niang examine Granny Cai, which greatly shocked her.

So, after Granny Cai and the other two left, Qiu Xiang waited for Li San Niang to finish writing on the paper, then walked up to her and whispered, "San Niangzi, is this something that all women go through after giving birth?"

Li San Niang had long wanted to take Qiu Xiang as her disciple, and she was delighted that Qiu Xiang had finally taken the initiative to ask her a question.

Although I didn't want Qiu Xiang, who was only fifteen, to have any fear of childbirth, she still needed to know the things she should know.

"This is not absolute."

Not every woman will experience this in her old age after childbirth.

Grandma Cai's condition is simply due to the multiple births she had when she was younger.

If it is a physically strong woman, like you martial artists, then she will rarely be like this.

However, it's important to note that you shouldn't have multiple pregnancies in a row; it's best to rest for at least a year before trying to conceive again.

Of course, this is also why women don't know how to prevent pregnancy.

Seeing that there was still a trace of fear in Qiu Xiang's eyes, Li San Niang took her hand and patted it twice: "Alright, you're still so young, you don't need to worry about this."

This is just something women go through, and I'm only telling you a few words. When you get married, if you understand more, you'll be able to protect yourself better.

Qiu Xiang shook her head. "Third Sister, I will not get married from the day I joined the Bad People, unless I have a mission."

...

In the afternoon, only one little girl came to see a doctor because she had menstrual cramps. It was a minor problem. The doctor prescribed medicine and advised her to improve her nutrition by eating high-protein foods, such as eggs.

Ever since she took the initiative to speak with Li San Niang this morning, Qiu Xiang seems to have had her meridians opened, and she has started asking Li San Niang more questions.

However, Qiu Xiang was very sensible and only asked Li San Niang in a low voice when there were no patients around.

"This young lady is in so much pain! I see her face is pale and she's sweating profusely; she must be in real distress. When I have my period, I never experience pain, it's just a bit inconvenient and not very convenient to do anything."

Li San Niang chatted with Qiu Xiang for a few more minutes before it was time to finish her shift.

After Li San Niang and Qiu Xiang left the clinic, they saw Shi Jiu sitting on the carriage shaft waiting by the roadside.

On the way, Li San Niang asked the same question that Nineteen had asked Qiu Xiang before, and learned that Nineteen was only one year older than Qiu Xiang, and was sixteen this year.

"How about we offer you the same salary as Qiu Xiang?"

Nineteen turned back to Li Sanniang inside the carriage and asked, "What does Sanniang mean by this?"

Li San Niang glanced at Qiu Xiang, who shook her head. "Qiu Xiang didn't tell you that although you were here to protect me on Mr. Bu Ke's orders, I think our relationship is more like an employer-employee relationship."

I paid Qiu Xiang the salary of a first-class female martial arts guard. Since Qiu Xiang says your skills are about the same, how about you take the same salary as Qiu Xiang?"

Nineteen looked at Qiu Xiang in surprise, and when Qiu Xiang nodded, a thought popped into his mind: "This Third Sister Li is indeed extraordinary."

Before Li San Niang could get a reply from Shi Jiu, she clapped her hands and said, "Alright, it's decided then."

When they returned to the Li family home, Li's sister-in-law told them that Shijiu had been arranged to stay in the room next to Song Dalang's.

"Thank you for taking care of things at home, sister-in-law. You've worked so hard."

"Alright, stop flattering me. Even if you say all that, you still have to eat that egg this morning."

Don't think I didn't see it; you gave the chicken to Nineteen this morning.

I'll cook an extra one tomorrow morning, saving enough for 19. You can eat yours yourself, don't try to cheat me.

Li San Niang really disliked cooking chicken, always finding it had a peculiar smell that she found extremely unpleasant.

Although chicken eggs were not particularly rare at this time, they were still a delicious treat for poor families who wanted to eat meat.

The fact that everyone in the Li family can have an egg to eat every day is thanks to the money Li San Niang received as a token of gratitude. The Li family no longer has to worry about money, and Li's mother waved her hand and told Li Da Sao to buy as many as she wanted, ensuring that everyone in the family could have an egg.

Before going to sleep tonight, Li's father brought over a bowl of calming soup as usual, and Li San Niang drank it all without saying a word.

After finishing the drink, I quickly drank a sip of warm water to get rid of the taste.

Before going to sleep, looking at the progress of 38/100 in the system task column, I felt very relieved, as I was one step closer to making my wish.

...

Late at night, in the Imperial Guard's prison.

Xue Yao stared intently at the corpse before him, blood streaming from its seven orifices, and a cold voice emanated from his throat: "Have you found it?"

"Reporting to the commander, it was You Dalang, the one who empties chamber pots. He hid poison in the chamber pot. When he returned it, the new recruit took the poison and sprinkled it into the skinny assassin's food. By the time the brothers found out, he was already cold."

"Heh, that's quite a tactic. How's that You Dalang's family doing?"

"You Dalang has no wife but two sons. The information we got from the Imperial Guards is that the two sons left Chang'an three days ago with their household registration certificates."
