Chapter 42: Confidence Shines
When the three of them returned home, the house was very lively.
Because we invited villagers to repair the house, now three men from the village are cleaning up the broken mud and making mud molds.
Yin Huaixi looked around and didn't see her sister-in-law at home. She only saw her brother talking to the villagers who were working.
"Brother, we are back!"
Hearing her voice, several villagers who were working looked over. However, they were all very sensible, and after recognizing her face, they continued to work.
Yin Huaishan, who was sitting by the door, responded. Seeing that the three people looked good, he knew that the snail meat was selling well today. However, he couldn't ask about the situation in front of outsiders, so he just craned his neck to look into the basket.
Yin Ning smiled secretly in her heart. She turned around and didn't see her mother at home, so she asked, "Dad, where is mother?"
"Your mother went to Xiaoman's house. Xiaoman's mother was originally going to look for your aunt, but after knowing that your mother could write, she asked her to go and ask for help. I don't know what she wrote, but she should be back soon."
Yin Huaixi was stunned. Her elder brother didn't know what to write, but she knew it. Before, Xiaoman's mother had been worried that Xiaoman's marriage was delayed by her illness. Now that she has recovered from the illness, she is planning the marriage.
To get married here, families with slightly better conditions have to write a Geng Tie to match the horoscopes. My sister-in-law should have written the Geng Tie.
well……
Xiaoman is still so young, it would be really bad for her health to get married so early.
Yin Huaixi felt quite helpless. She couldn't get used to such things but she couldn't change them.
"Mother, what's wrong with you? You don't respond when I talk to you."
"It's okay. What did you say?"
"Didn't the lady on the boat come to our house to get food for her daughter? I'm going to make some juice now. Do you want to make something?"
After hearing what her daughter said, Yin Huaixi remembered that she had an appointment with someone on the boat.
"No need to soak anything, just cut more carrots into shreds."
Carrots are also nutritious, and pregnant women can eat them to supplement their nutrition. If the young wife wants to eat something more nutritious, she can just make some chicken and duck meat and soak it.
She didn't worry too much about it; her daughter could handle it herself.
Yin Huaixi packed up the things in the backpack and went to the kitchen to warm up the ointment and then changed the medicine for her brother.
The aroma of medicine wafted through the yard, and the three people who were working on clay figures were involuntarily attracted by it.
They watched with their own eyes as Yin Huaishan's younger sister examined his injured leg and helped him change the ointment. It was obvious that the ointment was not bought from a pharmacy, as it was not applied with a patch but was directly picked out of a jar with a small bamboo stick.
He looks like a doctor.
One of the men named Ayong couldn't help but speak.
"Brother Huaishan, did you make the ointment on your legs yourself?"
Yin Huaishan nodded with a hint of pride.
"This was prepared by my younger sister. She is a doctor and she treated my leg injury. Now my left leg is almost swollen."
I want to be a doctor, so I have to make a name for myself. I can talk to these people and ask them to spread the word in the village. Then I can earn money without having to work outside.
Yin Huaixi was happy to see this happen. She was practicing medicine in this world, and of course more patients would come to her only if more people knew about it.
"Brother Huaishan, can your sister cure leg pain?"
There was anticipation in Ayong's eyes, and he had no interest in the work at hand.
Yin Huaishan looked at his younger sister and questioned her with his eyes. Of course, Yin Huaixi couldn't guarantee anything, so he could only say, "First, tell me how your legs hurt and the specific symptoms."
"It's like this. My father's legs started to hurt a few years ago, especially around his knees. Sometimes the pain was so severe that he couldn't even walk. In the past two months, it's gotten worse and swollen. It's scary to look at. We took him to see a doctor, but he just said it was cold and dampness. He took some medicine, but the pain only subsided after a few days and then came back again."
Yin Huaixi listened carefully and nodded.
Judging from the description of this man, the doctor they found was right. Fenghanshuibi is what we call rheumatic arthritis in modern times. Old fishermen go out in the wind and rain all year round, and many of them suffer from this disease.
This type of disease can be cured in the early stages, but for old fishermen, there is no cure. However, there are many ways to relieve the pain. Unfortunately, she doesn't have a silver needle in her hand now, so the methods she can use are limited and the effect is not as good as expected.
"Little sister, how is it? Can it be cured?"
"I think this brother has heard from the doctor that it is caused by wind, cold and dampness. It cannot be cured, but only relieved the pain."
Ayong nodded somewhat disappointedly.
"Yes, that's what Dr. Li in the city said. He prescribed a decoction to reduce swelling and relieve pain, but it won't work for a few days."
The fishermen in the village depended on their fishing boats for food and drink, so they didn’t have enough money to buy medicine every few days. So after buying medicine twice, his father refused to let him buy it again, so he just endured it himself.
Seeing his father in such pain every day, the family felt bad and urged Jin'er to earn more money to go home. As soon as he heard that the Yin family would give money to repair the house, he came immediately.
"Brother, if you trust me, bring your father here when you are free so I can take a look at him. I can't say it will completely cure him, but at least it will reduce his pain by 70% or 80%, and he will be able to walk without any problem."
When Ah Yong heard this, he immediately became excited. If he hadn't remembered that he had been paid to work, he would have run back home.
"Okay, okay! Doctor Yin, I will bring my dad over for you to see tomorrow!"
After saying this, he didn't ask any more questions and just buried his head in his work.
The two little sisters in the kitchen stuck their heads out to watch, got excited, and then huddled together and whispered to each other.
"Cousin, my aunt is so amazing. She was so... so..."
Yin Ning was stumped, unable to think of words for a moment.
"So confident, huh?"
"Yes, yes, that's confidence."
Obviously, my aunt has become thinner after all the exile and is no longer as pretty as before, but when I saw her just now, I felt that she had a different kind of beauty.
"You can do it, cousin."
Jiang Wan was determined to pull her cousin out of the feudal dregs of the three obediences and four virtues.
"Aniang is confident because of her medical skills. What about you, cousin? You are so good at embroidery, you can also be confident. You can make money on your own in the future. I think your cousin is also very good."
Yin Ning felt her ears warm when she heard her cousin praising her. Was she really as good as her cousin said?
Her embroidery...
Oh no! She hadn't picked up a needle and thread for several months, and her craftsmanship had become rusty. She had to practice quickly.
Yin Ning was no longer in the mood to whisper to her cousin. She quickly washed her hands with water and went into the house with the handkerchief and needle and thread she had bought from the embroidery shop.
What pattern should I embroider?
Yin Ning thought of several handkerchiefs she had seen in the embroidery workshop, with patterns of flowers, birds, and fish. She decided to embroider a similar pattern so that the boss could better compare the embroidery work.
Just embroider a picture of fish playing with lotus leaves, as she had a very deep impression of fish.
She had dreamed about her cousin smashing the fish against the rocks several times...
