The woman wiped away her tears with her sleeve. "I can help, I can help! My daughter has a terrible stomachache, she's curled up in a ball! Doctor He has gone out on a house call again, and I heard he won't be back until tonight. I was thinking, if she's in pain until tonight, will she be able to hold on? I thought I'd carry her out to town to get some help! I just got here and saw you coming by in a donkey cart, so I thought I'd hitch a ride. Is that alright?"

As he finished speaking, his voice grew softer and softer, as if he was afraid that Su Nanxi would disagree, or perhaps he felt embarrassed!

After all, you're asking for something from someone, so you'll always feel inferior to them.

Su Nanxi and Mo Qinghe exchanged a glance. Mo Qinghe nodded, and Su Nanxi understood. It was just a small thing, so she would help if she could.

However, to avoid suspicion, since it was her daughter's home, Su Nanxi told Mo Qinghe to go back later and bring him along next time.

Mo Qinghe understood and didn't get upset.

When the woman saw that Su Nanxi had agreed, she said thank you and ran off to be with her daughter.

Su Nanxi then noticed that there was another person under the tree, but he was lying on the ground, curled up, and would not be noticed if you were not paying attention.

Uh! She thought it was a dog!

Thankfully she didn't say it, otherwise she might have gotten beaten up!

Other villagers passed by and, seeing this, asked the woman, "Tao, why is your Ahua still like this? She must be weak. Buy some meat and cook it with mugwort for her to eat, she'll get better soon!"

Tao's wife gave a bitter smile. She knew all too well that the meat was not meant for her, but where would she get the money to buy it? Even if she did manage to buy it, she wouldn't have a say in the matter; the meat would definitely not end up in her daughter's mouth!

If her daughter hadn't been in so much pain, she wouldn't have even considered going to town, because she had no money!

But we can't just stand by and watch our daughter faint from the pain because we don't have the money!

At this point, you have to have money even if you don't!

Let's borrow it first and talk about it later!

Seeing that Tao remained silent, the villagers knew she was in a difficult situation, sighed, shook their heads, and left.

Su Nanxi figured it out a bit; could this girl be having menstrual cramps?

People who haven't experienced menstrual cramps won't know what that kind of pain is like!

Look, the girl named Ahua has no color in her face, her eyes are tightly closed, her brows are furrowed, her lips are pursed tightly, and she is covered in cold sweat. It is clear that she is enduring pain.

Tao tried to carry her on his back, but she curled up tightly, as if that would make her more comfortable.

Having no other choice, Su Nanxi had to go and help.

She didn't know what was wrong with the girl, but since she was in this state, she had to see a doctor. No matter how much pain she was in, she had to bear it and get in the car first!

After lifting the people into the car, Su Nanxi said to Mo Qinghe, "You go back first. I'll take them to see a doctor. I don't know when I'll be back, so please let your family know!"

Mo Qinghe was very obedient this time and readily nodded in agreement.

Su Nanxi got on the donkey cart, waved to Mo Qinghe, and then left.

Mo Qinghe kept watching his wife until she was out of sight before slowly heading home.

On the donkey cart, Ahua was still curled up, clutching her stomach.

Su Nanxi couldn't help but ask, "Auntie, does your daughter often do this?"

Tao's mind was completely blank. She was caught off guard by the question and didn't know what to do. "Huh? Oh, Ahua has been like this ever since she started her period. It used to hurt, but it would get better after lying down. But it's gotten worse and worse over the past year. Every time it hurts so much that she rolls around in pain! She has to take medicine!"

really!

Su Nanxi guessed right, alas! This pain is quite unusual. If it's not properly treated, it will cause problems with fertility in the future!

Skinny and severely malnourished, no wonder it hurts!

Sigh! Meeting her must have been fate!

Perhaps it was fate that she was asked to save this girl, so she would save her!

As Su Nanxi asked, she reached into her basket, "What did the doctor say? Did you take any medication afterwards?"

Tao sighed heavily. "Oh! What else can we say? Let us buy some good food to stew for her! But we're very poor, and my mother-in-law is a sexist, so we'll never get anything good! We can only keep putting it off, knowing it will get worse, but we have no other choice!"

As she spoke, tears streamed down Tao's face. She turned her face away, not wanting Su Nanxi to see, and secretly wiped away her tears.

Sigh! Another unfortunate soul!

That evil feudal ideology!

What's wrong with my daughter again?

Which mother-in-law didn't start out as a daughter?

She really thinks she's directly ascended to the position of mother-in-law!

Pshaw! I despise these kinds of people the most!

She herself had gone through the hardships of being a daughter-in-law and then a mother-in-law, and knew all too well how difficult it was for women. But once she was promoted, she forgot all about her past and became arrogant and disdainful of everyone!

Pooh!

Tao was a good woman; for her daughter's sake, she disregarded her mother-in-law's objections and resolutely carried her daughter to get treatment!

For that reason alone, Su Nanxi helped!

"Aunt Tao, if you trust me, please give this to Ahua! I've also experienced pain so bad I couldn't get up before, and this helped a lot! This is something I had on hand, but I don't need it now, so please give it to Ahua!"

Tao was alarmed and refused with both hands, "How can that be? If you need it and use it now, won't you suffer later? No, no!"

Su Nanxi thought that Tao was a decent person and worth helping. "You can buy more when you run out! It's no big deal! Besides, I don't need it anymore. I don't feel any pain anymore. If I don't use this medicine, it will lose its effectiveness and become useless! Aunt Tao, you see, it's better to give it to Ahua, otherwise it's a waste!"

Tao paused, then began to hesitate. What he said made perfect sense!

Finally, under Su Nanxi's persuasion, he gave the medicine to his daughter.

With the help of the spiritual spring water, the medicine took effect quickly, and Ahua soon felt no pain and gradually regained her senses.

She said weakly, "Thank you, mute girl!"

Although she spoke very softly, Su Nanxi still heard her and turned around to say, "You're welcome! It will get better slowly once the pain subsides. You should rest for a while; you must be tired after expending so much energy!"

"Mmm!" Ahua closed her eyes, her expression much more relaxed.

Su Nanxi had some ideas in mind and kept thinking about them on the way.

The donkey knew its owner was slacking off again, so it had no choice but to be extra vigilant!

When they arrived in town, Ahua was basically fine, but Su Nanxi still took her to see a doctor. As expected, the doctor told her to buy some nourishing food but didn't prescribe any medicine.

Since the pain was gone and Ahua was in much better spirits, Tao Shi didn't want to prescribe any more medicine because it cost money!

Su Nanxi had no choice but to let them be.

Seeing that Ahua was still weak and had little strength to walk, they decided to take them to eat rice noodles!

"I'm hungry! Let's go get some noodles! That place is having a promotion, a once-in-a-lifetime deal, buy one get two free! Let's go!"

Tao didn't want to go, so she said, "Let's... not go!"

They didn't set aside any money for food!

Su Nanxi said anxiously, "They need three people to go. If you don't go, you won't be able to enjoy the event! And those two bowls of noodles will be wasted!"

Are you really going to send it?

"Of course it's true!"
