Chapter 249 Encountering Swimming Crabs at the Pier

"A-choo! A-choo! A-choo!!"

Qin Yue sneezed three times in a row, and her mother immediately reached out to touch her forehead.

"Why are you sneezing again? Are you feeling cold from your period? It doesn't seem very hot to the touch."

Qin Yue, whose face turned pale due to stomachache, shook her head and quickly said she was fine.

Doesn't she know the condition of her own body? Apart from the severe stomachache, she has no other problems.

If my mother continues talking, I will have to drink another bowl of medicine. It's really annoying.

Why do women have menstrual periods every month? Why don’t men have periods?

Every time Qin Yue felt like she was dying from the pain, she couldn't help but ask the heavens in her heart.

It's so so so unfair.

She always claimed that she was not afraid of pain, but she would cry out in pain every time she had her period.

"hiss……"

A familiar pain came from her lower abdomen, and Qin Yue curled up into a ball again, with cold sweat on her forehead.

Mrs. Qin was so distressed that tears fell from her eyes, but she had seen a doctor and taken medicine, and she knew that it would take long-term treatment to recover, and the pain could not be relieved immediately.

"Madam, the master is back..."

After hearing what the maid said, Madam Qin wiped away her tears.

"Ayue, wait a moment. Mom will go talk to your dad for a few minutes and then come in to accompany you."

After saying this, she left her daughter's room.

"Ying Niang, I just heard Chang An say that you asked someone to hire a doctor for Ah Yue. How is Ah Yue?"

"It's still my daughter's monthly period. Ah Yue is still in pain. I feel very sad when I see her like that."

"What did the doctor say?"

It was not convenient for Qin Zhen to enter his daughter's private room, and no matter how worried he was, he could only ask a few questions from outside.

"The doctors all said the same thing. Ah Yue caught a cold a few years ago and didn't get rid of the root of the problem. Now she's suffering. She can only slowly take the medicine to recuperate."

Qin Zhen frowned, thinking of the time when his daughter fell into the water.

In his early years, he went to school alone, and his wife took care of everything at home. Because he was studying, all the money in the family was spent on him, and the family was very poor. His daughter fell into the water because she was ridiculed for her shabby clothes and ended up fighting with someone.

It was winter in the north and the river was almost frozen. When my daughter was rescued, she had a high fever and almost died.

Later, my health seemed to be better, but during those few days every month when I went to my daughter's house, I was in so much pain that I couldn't even get out of bed.

As a parent, it is so painful to see the children suffer but unable to help.

He owes his daughter all this...

"By the way, I heard that Madam Yin is good at treating women's diseases, why not ask her to take a look at Ah Yue."

"Madam Yin? Is she Xiao Wan's mother?"

"That's her. Both the mother and daughter are capable people."

Although Qin Zhen had never seen Yin Huaixi diagnose patients in person, his subordinates had heard a lot of information about her.

She was able to cure the difficult rheumatoid arthritis in the fishing village, and even people from nearby fishing villages came to her for treatment.

I heard that he also cured a dying person and a pregnant woman who was having difficulty in giving birth.

All in all, her medical skills are quite good.

Madam Yin is a woman, and as a woman as well, maybe she could come and see if there is a better way to treat her daughter's illness.

Qin Zhen looked at the sun. It was a coincidence that Jiang Wan and her daughter were in the city today. He just didn't know if they had returned to the village. If they hadn't, it would save a lot of effort and he could just invite them over.

He was a man who did what he thought, and he immediately instructed Chang An to send someone to keep an eye on the dock, and to invite Jiang Wan and her daughter if they saw them.

Soon, a servant who had met Jiang Wan before went to the dock. He also brought a coachman and a carriage, which showed his sincerity.

——————————————

At this time Jiang Wan and her mother had not returned home yet. They finally came out, and with Baozhu and Anan helping them to carry things, the family had a great time shopping.

Yin Huaixi first went to the pharmacy to replenish the medicinal materials, mainly the white schisandra and angelica root for the subsequent preparation of skin care products. She was planning to develop a side business with her daughter, so of course she had to be well prepared.

After buying the herbs, I took Baozhu Anan to watch the street performers and eat some street snacks.

Finally, I went to buy some cloth and took it home.

These cloths were bought by Anan. Many people in the cloth village at the foot of the mountain liked them, but they never had the chance to buy them. She and Yueliang were very close, and she was going to give the cloth to Yueliang when she got married.

Of course, she had no money.

So, it has to be given by my uncle.

As for whether his uncle could seize this opportunity, Anan didn't know.

She used to think that her uncle was more powerful than the ferocious wild wolves in the mountains, but now, she sometimes felt that her uncle was not even as good as the puppy of her master's family.

Niu Niu and Hua Hua both know that they should cling to their master every day and act coquettishly.

Look how much the master dotes on them now. He even remembers to buy them some delicious food when he goes shopping.

Compared to him, my uncle is nothing.

well……

There is still no sign of the master becoming an aunt.

Anan was holding a bunch of things, his thoughts drifting away.

"Anan? Anan?"

"Ah? What's wrong?"

"What are you thinking about? You've fallen behind. Xiao Wan and Master are picking crabs over there. Let's go over there too."

Baozhu pulled Anan into the crowd.

At this time, there was a large dry straw mat on the roadside, with several large bamboo baskets placed on it. Through the gaps in the bamboo baskets, you could clearly see that there were lively crabs inside.

"Eh? What kind of crab is this? Why haven't I seen it before?"

Anan had never been to the sea, and the crabs she usually ate were blue crabs or stone crabs caught by Jiang Wan. She was not familiar with the pile of crabs in front of her.

Jiang Wan picked up a large crab and stuffed it into her bag while answering, "This is a swimming crab. It's delicious. I'll steam it for you to try tonight."

The swimming crab is named after its carapace, which is similar to a shuttle. It has many nicknames in different regions.

For example, white crabs, flying crabs and so on.

Its roe and roe are not as fragrant as those of blue crabs and big crabs, but its meat is really fat.

September and October are the seasons when swimming crabs are plump and juicy. If you catch a swarm of crabs, you can catch a lot of them in one net.

Jiang Wan likes steamed swimming crabs the most. After removing the inedible crab heart and other parts, she breaks the crab in half to reveal the plump, white and tender meat on both sides, which is sweet and full and really delicious.

(I just bought two kilograms today and ate them all, hehe!)

Since she met them at the pier, of course she couldn't miss it, so she had to pick a few more to bring back.

It’s a good opportunity for my cousin and aunt to have a taste of it.
