When it comes to treating gynecological diseases, Qiao Jie isn't particularly skilled, but given her age, she has some knowledge and understands the situation.

In the eyes of the villagers, Qiao Jie's medical skills were actually quite good. After all, a master who could teach a disciple like Jiang Qiao must be very capable.

Therefore, in everyone's mind, whenever someone is sick, the first person they think of is Qiao Jie.

"Girl, your Grandpa Jiang's daughter has stopped menstruating. Do you have any medicine that can help?"

Jiang Qiao was taken aback. "Menopause at such a young age?"

The old man nodded. "Go and prepare some medicine. I'll go over and check your pulse. If there's nothing seriously wrong, I'll use your medicine."

Jiang Qiao turned and went into the inner room. A short while later, she came out with a few packets of medicine and a piece of paper.

"Once this is finished, let her prepare the medicine herself. We're missing some medicinal herbs at home, this is all we have left. If anything comes up, we'll talk about it when you come back."

Qiao Jie took the medicine, carried the medicine box, and left with Jiang Weihan.

Jiang Qiao shook her head and went back to work in the house.

After all the visitors left, Ma Liu quickly ventilated the house and then came out to help Jiang Qiao with her chores.

At this moment, Qiao Jie returned carrying a medical kit. "Grandpa Qiao, how is he? Is he alright?"

Qiao Jie sighed, "It's the New Year, and I really don't want to say anything else, but your Aunt Jiang is really tolerant. She's had several children, how can she have so little common sense? She clearly knew she was pregnant, but the baby hadn't been born yet, and she didn't even go to the hospital to get checked out..."

When it comes to Jiang Weihan's daughter, Qiao Jie has a lot of complaints. She's never seen a woman who doesn't care about her own body.

When Jiang Qiao and Ma Liu heard this, they were both stunned. "What? The fetus is still in her womb? My God, are you kidding me?"

Qiao Jie snorted, "Don't tell me you haven't heard of it; I rarely see it either. Now you know, right?"

Ma Liu asked curiously, "Where is he?"

Qiao Jie went inside, poured hot water, and washed his hands. "He's already been taken to the hospital. He'll probably need surgery."

Jiang Qiao pondered for a moment and understood what was going on. She had never seen this before, but there were records of it in medical books. If the stillborn fetus was not removed now, it would really grow inside the body later.

"Sigh, this eldest aunt of the Jiang family is quite a character. Didn't she have any feeling about whether she had a miscarriage or not? Sigh, it's fortunate that Grandpa Jiang went to find you, otherwise, it's hard to say what kind of person she is."

Going to the hospital is better; at least it's safer. Sigh, life's tough, and everyone's reluctant to spend money. Otherwise, who would put themselves through this?

Qiao Jie went inside to pack his things and came out. "Girl, take this to Grandpa Jiang's house. He can use it to help him recover and regain his health."

Jiang Qiao responded, took the things, gave Ma Liu a few instructions, and ran out in a flash.

Gu Qiuyue was pacing around at home. She wanted to accompany her daughter to the hospital, but her son and daughter-in-law disagreed, so the elderly couple could only wait for news at home.

"Grandma Jiang, my grandfather asked me to bring this over. He said it's for my aunt to nourish her body."

Jiang Weihan sighed, "Look at the mess this has made. Girl, come sit down. Do you think your aunt is alright?"

Jiang Qiao shook her head. "There shouldn't be any problem. Once the fetus is removed, your body will be fine. Just take good care of yourself, and maybe you can have another one in the future."

The old man waved his hand and said, "There's no need to have another one. We already have several children. There's really no need to have another one. As long as you're healthy, that's more important than anything else. Girl, I believe you."

Jiang Qiao smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, would I lie to you, Grandma Jiang? Come and sit down, don't worry, it's just a minor surgery, it shouldn't have any major impact."

The old lady sighed, "Tell me, what an unreliable person your aunt is. She's had several children, and she's still so clueless about this."

"That happened so long ago! I even asked her about it back then, and she said she had a miscarriage. What miscarriage? Thank goodness Grandpa Qiao came, otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble it would have caused."

Jiang Weihan was a little better off; Qiao Jie had said that if they went to the hospital, the child would definitely be fine. But the old lady was still worried.

As people get older, they worry about the children getting into trouble. With a sigh, they say, "Instead of nagging, you should hurry up and pack some things for the children, cook what needs to be cooked, and then take them to the hospital. Everything costs money outside, so we should prepare more at home so that the children can save some money."

Jiang Qiao suggested, "Why don't you stay at our home in the county town if you really want to go? At least it will be more convenient for you to do anything, and you'll have a place to stay."

The old man waved his hand and said, "You forgot? My grandson and son are in the county town, and so is my daughter. They don't need to come to your house. They don't want us to come at all. They said they wouldn't be of any help and were afraid we'd get upset. They've all gone, so it should be fine."

Jiang Qiao chatted with the old man for a while, then got up to leave. "Grandpa Jiang, if you're worried, you can come with us when we go back to the city."

Jiang Weihan shook his head. "I estimate that some of them will be back tonight. I'll find out what's going on then. It's nothing."

Since the old man insisted, Jiang Qiao didn't say anything more. She still had to go home to cook and prepare things for tomorrow's grave visit.

When they returned, Gu Hanting and the others had already prepared everything, placing it in baskets and hampers, so they could simply take it over the next day.

"Grandpa Liu, I'll cook. You just keep an eye on the pot."

Gu Zhengkai helped tend the fire, and Jiang Qiao said to him while cooking, "Uncle, when you leave, take some raw meat and oil with you. You can't buy these even if you have the ration coupons. They're good things to give to friends. Anyway, our family doesn't lack these."

Ma Liu nodded with a smile, "That's right. Qiao'er sent a lot of things back from the south. You really don't need to worry about that. There's enough food at home. We'll make sure the elderly and children have plenty of meat and oil."

Gu Zhengkai remarked with a sigh, "I've noticed that our family's income has increased significantly since you all went out. I'm actually envious of you now, really—"

Ma Liu patted his shoulder and said, “Nephew, don’t envy us. We old men are all in our twilight years. While we can still move around, we want to travel more. You are in the prime of your lives now. When you retire, you can go out anytime you want. You can even bring your grandchildren with you.”

Gu Zhengkai smiled and said, "That's a long time to think about. I'd better think about what's in front of me. How about you go to the provincial capital with your uncle and the others for a while? Then we can keep each other company."

Jiang Qiao joked from the side, "Uncle, that's a good idea. Maybe we'll actually go and take a look. I haven't been to the provincial capital yet. Maybe I'll even run into that wolf."

Ma Liu was so frightened that he quickly spat a few times. "Children say whatever they want, children say whatever they want. What nonsense are you talking about? What do you think that wolf is? You should stay at home and study hard. You have to take the exams, and you can't do too badly."
