Chapter 402 Face

Ever since Li San Niang mentioned how difficult it is to raise children, Qi Zhi Die consulted with Mr. Bu Ke and had Ling Lan reported as having died of illness and removed from Shi Hua Lou.

They took the path of the unscrupulous and re-registered Linglan's household registration, claiming that Langxu had died of illness and that she had brought her posthumous child to Chang'an to seek refuge with her distant aunt.

Currently, Linglan and Ping'an have rented a house in a residential building across the street from Li Family Medical Hall in Changshoufang.

Ping An has gone from looking like an old man to looking like a skinny little monkey, but he can eat and sleep well, which puts Li San Niang at ease.

"What did Lady Qi say to Song Yulang?"

So they're just abandoning the child to you? Are they just going to wash their hands of it?

After examining Ping An, Li San Niang sat down and chatted with Ling Lan, her words carrying a hint of indignation on Ling Lan's behalf.

Li San Niang genuinely wondered why Ling Lan would spend her whole life taking care of their children.

Before Jiu Niang died, she asked Qi Zhi Die to take care of the child. Song Yu Lang was the child's biological father. No matter which of the two of them was entrusted with Ping An's care, and no matter how they were to raise the child, it should not have been given to Ling Lan.

Linglan was already very kind to help take care of the baby during her postpartum period, out of consideration for their sisterhood.

Now, Linglan has been given an identity, but once the child is registered with Linglan, it will be Linglan's responsibility for the rest of her life.

"Master, please don't be angry."

I did it voluntarily. This little person is growing up in my hands every day, and I have long regarded Ping An as my own child.

Moreover, I'm very happy to be able to leave that building and, with peace of mind, openly and honestly learn medicine from my master.

Seeing Linglan's state, Li Sanniang shook her head, sighed, and said nothing more.

Linglan is not a young girl like Song Fuling, who is only eight or nine years old and can be taught.

Linglan is already in her early thirties, a mature adult who has experienced many ups and downs.

Since Linglan had already made this choice, Li Sanniang stopped mentioning it after bringing it up once, and instead addressed the questions Linglan had recently raised from reading medical books.

The next day, Li San Niang went to work at the clinic. Early in the morning, Tang Mingyue excitedly pulled Li San Niang aside to talk: "This is my family's effective remedy for headaches. Can I use this to exchange for the cricothyroid membrane puncture procedure with Doctor Li?"

As for why Tang Mingyue took so long to bring out the prescription, it was mainly because the prescription was inherited from the Tang family. If she wanted to exchange the prescription for the technique, she would naturally have to make it clear to the Tang family.

Thus, it took more than half a month before Tang Mingyue received confirmation from the Tang family in a reply, and only then was she able to take out the prescription to exchange for the technique.

Tang Mingyue's voice was quite loud, and both Dr. Li and Dr. Cui, who were seeing patients next door, heard it. However, neither of them said anything, so it's unknown what they were thinking.

"Sure, let's go to the teahouse after lunch to discuss this in detail."

"Yes, there's something else I need to tell you."

Tang Mingyue looked over, and Li Sanniang explained, "I discussed it with my father and second brother, and we came up with a plan."

My family brought out ten prescriptions and several techniques that I knew.

From now on, anyone like you who wants to learn techniques can join this exchange hall and, based on their contribution, be ranked and given access to the items within.

Tang Mingyue understood what Li Sanniang meant: "Doctor Li means that if I can produce more than just this prescription for headaches, but other effective remedies, then I can check out more items in the Exchange Hall?"

Li San Niang nodded, "Yes, that's exactly it."

In that case, if more people join this exchange hall in the future, we can learn from each other and surely achieve something in our respective fields.

However, some people may not be able to accept this change, so if they want to join, they must sign a contract in advance.

Think about it first. If you're unsure, discuss it with Sister Afu or ask your elders. Once you have an idea, then you can bring up the matter of joining.

I can trade you this cricothyroid membrane puncture procedure first.

Tang Mingyue's eyes lit up when Li Sanniang said this; he understood what Li Sanniang meant.

Nowadays, apart from the Imperial Medical Bureau regularly sharing some techniques and prescriptions, the truly good prescriptions or skills are all in the hands of various medical families.

Just like the Tang family, as far as Tang Mingyue knew, the Tang family actually had not only a medical book containing more than a dozen good prescriptions, but also a booklet specifically about making plasters for injuries from falls and sprains.

However, because everyone cherishes their knowledge and is afraid of letting others learn it, they limit it to their own family members. Over time, when they encounter someone who is not good at medicine, all these prescriptions and techniques are wasted.

However, Li San Niang's exchange hall can integrate useful prescriptions and techniques, and hand them over to talented physicians to master, so that these things can be used to their maximum effect and can successfully and effectively save more people.

Moreover, those with exceptional talent might even discover new recipes and techniques from it.

Li San Niang explained the general purpose of the exchange hall, and the old doctors Li and Cui in the medical hall understood it clearly.

At this moment, Dr. Cui felt that this method was quite good, and he was even thinking about what prescriptions he had that he could exchange for.

However, Dr. Cui only thought about it that way; he wasn't the kind of person who wanted to be the first to try something new.

"Let's see, let's see. If Tang Mingyue can benefit from this, then I'll ask Li Sanniang to join in."

Just as everyone was pondering the exchange hall that Li San Niang had set up, five or six people suddenly entered the medical hall in a grand procession.

Leading the way were a woman and a young girl, followed by two men, a woman, and a child.

Li San Niang looked up and saw that it was the little girl who had come to her earlier to have the mole on her face examined. (First appearance in Chapter 335, second appearance in Chapter 350)

Lian Niang raised her head and looked at Li San Niang, saying resolutely, "Dr. Li, I've made up my mind. I want to have the surgery you mentioned!"

"Dr. Li, this girl, Lianniang, insists on doing this. Even when we went to talk to her father and elder brother, we couldn't explain it to them."

"That's why our whole family came, wanting to hear how to get rid of the mole on Lian Niang's face."

Li San Niang glanced at the woman and Lian Niang, then looked behind her and saw an old man with a hunched back, a dark-skinned man standing next to him, and a young woman with similarly dark skin next to the man, with a small child being led by the hand of the woman.

It's obvious they're a family. It seems that although Lianniang has some flaws, she's still highly valued at home.

Qili was very perceptive. He moved two benches over and invited everyone to sit down before Li Sanniang called Lianniang to her side.

"This is growing inside the flesh. To remove it, you have to cut it open like this, cut this piece along the skin, and then sew it up with a needle."

These are simple; the difficult part is the recovery process.

If you get infected, you'll be fine if you survive, but if you don't, you might not live.

Li San Niang brushed aside the stray hairs that Lian Niang had used to cover Ai's forehead and used her fingers to measure the area in the air for them to see.
