Chapter 107 Su Tai is Pregnant
Zhou agreed with this and immediately became much more friendly towards Ma Yuqing.
The Mo Laotian family outside the door did not stay any longer after receiving the silver, and left the Ma residence quickly.
"Dad, my mother's eyesight still needs to be treated by a doctor." Mo Erli said.
Mo Laotian nodded and sighed, "Let's go! Let's go to the clinic. I don't know if the clinic will be open during the New Year."
At the same time, Shen Yi and his group just arrived at Doctor Li’s house.
Doctor Li's wife has passed away, his sons have started their own families, and his grandchildren have grown up and are no longer together.
He lives alone and it's very lonely during the New Year.
Seeing Shen Yi coming to the door, he was a little surprised, "Why are you here? It's not the time to see a doctor during the New Year!"
Shen Yi didn’t expect Han to come to see Doctor Li, and felt a little embarrassed.
Han smiled and swiftly went into the yard carrying her things. "Doctor Li, we came here specially to wish you a happy new year. The rest is just by chance."
Doctor Li immediately understood what Han meant. He invited the three people into the house and looked at Han. "But is there anything wrong with saying it?"
Shen Yi thought Han wanted to see the doctor, so he quickly avoided her and went to the yard to help Doctor Li chop firewood.
Han took the opportunity to say, "Doctor Li, it's not me, it's my daughter. She's been married for several months, but her stomach has not moved. Can you take a look?"
Doctor Li was not surprised. He said to Su Tai, "Stretch out your hand. I'll take your pulse."
Su Tai obediently lifted the clothes on her wrists and cooperated well.
Doctor Li couldn't help but smile and began to feel her pulse carefully. After a few breaths, he let go of her hand and asked Su Tai to use the other hand.
Han was so nervous that her heartbeat almost reached her throat. "What...what happened?"
Doctor Li chuckled and did not answer Han. Instead, he picked up the pen and wrote a prescription, saying slowly, "It's still early in the month and your pulse is not strong. Come back to the clinic in a month to have my pulse checked. I'll prescribe some mild and nourishing soup for you. Go back and drink it for a few days and have a good rest."
Su Tai and Han were both shocked.
"Doctor Li, is my daughter pregnant?"
"What else?" Doctor Li shook his head speechlessly, "The young couple is careless, and there is no elder watching over Shen Yi. Fortunately, you, as a mother, are concerned."
Doctor Li knew about Shen Yi's situation, so he had to give him some advice.
Han was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She kept nodding her head in agreement, and she cared more about it than Su Tai, the pregnant woman.
After giving the instructions, Doctor Li personally escorted the mother and daughter out.
When the three of them arrived at the courtyard, Shen Yi immediately put down his axe and walked over to pay the consultation fee.
Doctor Li held out his hand to stop him. "We agreed that you are here to celebrate the New Year, not to see a doctor. We won't charge you for the consultation. Go back and eat more good food. Don't get tired. It's nothing serious."
Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him quickly before leaving with Han and Su Tai.
As soon as the three of them got on the donkey cart, they ran into Mo Laotian and his group again.
Han didn't even look at them and urged Shen Yi to leave quickly.
However, Xiong Kai's eyes always fell on Su Tai inadvertently, with a complicated expression. In Guan's eyes, it seemed that he still had feelings for Su Tai. She was so angry that her only remaining eye turned red, "Bah! Why is a hen that doesn't lay eggs so arrogant!"
Mo Laotian frowned, "What are you scolding again?"
"I curse that bitch from the Su family. She's obviously a hen that doesn't lay eggs, but she still says she's blessed. She's always suppressing our daughter. Humph! Wait until she makes the Shen family extinct, then you'll know who's blessed!" Guan cursed and mocked with ill intentions.
Mo Laotian's frown deepened, "You can't even protect yourself now, and you still have time to care about other people's affairs! This is Doctor Li's house, you have to talk to him properly later. I don't know if you can still save your eyes."
Guan's face was gloomy, and she glared at Mo Laotian angrily, "It's all your fault! If you hadn't asked me to set off the firecrackers, my eyes wouldn't have been injured! You're really blind and have served me all my life!"
Mo Laotian didn't dare to argue with the furious Guan and could only endure it silently.
Xiong Kai walked up to the door expressionlessly and knocked several times in a row. He only opened the door when he thought the neighbors would come out to see what was going on.
Doctor Li glanced at Guan lying on the cart, and finally his heart as a doctor overcame his emotions. He let them into the house, but his expression was indifferent and he didn't say anything extra to them.
Guan Shi seemed to not understand. Relying on their large number, she not only did not talk about her own illness as soon as she entered the door, but instead asked about Shen Yi and his group, "Doctor, what illness did those three people come to see just now?"
Doctor Li's face suddenly turned serious. "You are so rude, woman. Don't you know the rules?"
Guan curled her lips with disdain, "We country folks don't care about rules. If the doctor doesn't want to tell you, then don't tell him. It must be some shameful disease. Otherwise, why would he come here during the New Year?"
Doctor Li immediately withdrew his hand and said, "You are right. The diseases that people see doctors for during the Chinese New Year are not to be seen. Please go and come back after the Chinese New Year."
"Hiss!" Mo Laotian was anxious and hurriedly apologized for Guan. "Doctor, my wife's temper has become very strange since her eyes were injured. She also speaks rudely. Please don't bother with her."
"She is sick, are you sick too? She doesn't know the rules, don't you know them too? She asks about the patient's privacy as soon as she enters the door. What does she want to do? If you don't want to see the doctor, get out!" Doctor Li got angry and didn't intend to give face to Mo Laotian at all.
Xiong Kai and the other two looked at each other and frowned.
"Mother-in-law, it is indeed a taboo for doctors to inquire about other people's illnesses. Please apologize to Doctor Li so that we can finish the examination and go back quickly." Xiong Kai spoke first.
Only then did the Mo Dali brothers follow suit and try to persuade them.
Seeing that everyone was waiting for her to apologize, Guan became so angry that her face turned red. She felt ashamed and annoyed. It was hateful that she was the one who needed treatment, so she had no choice but to bow her head.
Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and admitted her mistake, "Doctor Li, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked about other people's medical conditions."
"Humph!" Doctor Li snorted, "You've made more mistakes than just this! First of all, they come to me just to see a doctor? What? Don't I have a few relatives and friends as an old man? They come to me to wish me a happy new year, but instead they are cursed and become sick. I'm already giving you face by letting you in!
In the end, you guys still don't know what's good and you speak without restraint. I don't even want to show you what I'm saying!"
Only then did Mo Laotian and the others notice the unopened paper packages on the cabinet in the main room, and their faces instantly turned red with shame.
Guan's face turned blue, white, and red. She had been making a fuss for most of the day, but the other person didn't come to see a doctor at all, but she kept saying that he was sick. It seemed like she was the one who was sick. She was like a joke.
Doctor Li checked Guan's eyes only after he saw that they had been beaten almost enough. His attitude was not very friendly during the whole process.
Mo Laotian and the others could only endure it.
Guan spent one or two taels of silver to change the medicine.
Mo Laotian suspected that Doctor Li was seeking revenge, but they had already offended the person, and they would have to go to Doctor Li for treatment in the future, so they did not dare to question him and could only leave in frustration.
On the other hand, let’s look at the Han family.
Because Su Tai was pregnant, she almost smiled her face off in the snow on her way back.
Seeing this look, Shen Yi felt that his mother-in-law was seriously ill and did not dare to ask at all.
Su Tai didn't want to open her mouth to eat the northwest wind, so she didn't explain.
Shen Yi continued to misunderstand this until he returned to the village.
