Chapter 3003 Love
Her daughter-in-law then raised her head slightly. Zhou Man took a look and said, "She looks fine. There's nothing wrong with her."
When the daughter-in-law heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, raised her head a little, straightened her back a lot, and looked at Zhou Man with a pair of watery eyes.
Zhou Man met her eyes, paused, and then asked some more detailed questions. Her fingers never left her pulse, and he asked her to switch hands to feel her pulse. Then he said to the woman, "There's nothing wrong. Why don't you ask your son to come over and take a look?"
The woman's face turned pale and she said quickly, "Sir, my son is very strong and can do things in the fields very well."
"Well, although things like nephrology are related to physical condition, sometimes they're not that relevant. Why don't you ask him to take a look first?" Zhou Man said, "I'm also very good at treating male infertility. I cured many infertile men when I was in the capital."
She said, "Women shouldn't be afraid to see a doctor. The same goes for men. Our clinic treats women, but we also treat men."
Woman: ...
She failed to appreciate Zhou Man's good intentions and felt like the sky was falling.
She turned her head to look at her daughter-in-law, and saw that she was also sitting there with a gloomy face. She shuddered and went to comfort her daughter-in-law, "Second Mother, you know that Dalang has always been strong. He won't have such a disease. Maybe it's just that fate hasn't arrived yet. Yes, it's fate that hasn't arrived yet."
After comforting her daughter-in-law, the woman went to Zhou Man and asked, "Master Zhou, could you please take another look at my daughter-in-law?"
Zhou Man frowned slightly, turned around and asked her daughter-in-law, "Do you want to watch it again?"
The daughter-in-law felt a little uneasy. After a moment's hesitation, she shook her head and whispered, "I'll persuade my husband to come and take a look when I get back."
Zhou Man nodded and said to the woman, "She's fine. She has strong Qi and blood, and is actually very fertile. If she's not pregnant, it's either because there's something wrong with your son or because fate hasn't arrived yet."
She said, "Actually, I've always advocated that couples come together to pray for a child. Only when both husband and wife are healthy can they have a child. There's nothing shameful about it. Just as a woman might not be able to have children, so naturally, a man can't have children either. A woman's illness can be cured, and so can a man's. They're just illnesses, just like a fever or a cough. All you need to do is take medicine and it will heal."
The only difference is whether it can be cured well or not.
Zhou Man suppressed the last part of his words and encouraged the woman, "Your son is still young. If he gets sick early, it will be easier to cure. Young people also recover quickly. If you delay it for a long time, it will be difficult to cure."
The woman wanted to sit on the ground and cry, but she was afraid of scaring her daughter-in-law away. Besides, there were many relatives, friends and people from the same village outside. If she cried, everyone would definitely know, which would be very embarrassing, so she didn't even dare to cry.
I could only nod.
Zhou Man looked at the other little girl. She was younger, only about eleven or twelve years old, so he softened his tone and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
The little girl didn't dare to speak for a moment.
The woman cheered up and said to Zhou Man, "This is my daughter. She is already fourteen years old, but she is still small and has not had her period yet. I am worried that she is a barren woman."
Zhou Man asked her to sit down and asked while taking her pulse, "Was she born full-term?"
"No, it was a month early. I slipped and fell while working in the fields. I gave birth there. So this child was difficult to raise. He couldn't eat since he was little, and no matter how hard I tried, he wouldn't grow big."
Zhou Man felt her pulse, looked at her pale face and dry hair, and asked, "What do you usually eat?"
"Just like at home," the woman said. "They treat her very well at home. She eats whatever her father and brothers eat. But eating too much good food is not good."
Seeing that the little girl had been silent and her mother had been speaking for her, Zhou Man smiled and said, "Let me touch your stomach and check your body to see if there is anything wrong. Let's go into the inner room."
Zhou Man brought the little girl into the house. The woman was about to follow, but Mingda raised her eyebrows and looked up slightly. The palace maid serving beside her reached out to stop her and looked at the woman unhappily and said, "Master Zhou doesn't like people following him when he's treating patients in the inner room."
"I'm her mother..."
"Don't even mention you're her mother. Even if you're the king of heaven, it wouldn't work. When Lord Zhou treated the Empress, His Majesty would retreat."
The woman choked and dared not speak.
Mingda, still sitting upright in his chair, fanning himself, asked his daughter-in-law softly, "Has everyone in your village heard about the free medical services at the hospital?"
"I know." The daughter-in-law, who looked younger than Mingda, raised her dark eyes carefully and glanced at her. Seeing her sitting there like a fairy, she was a little unsure what to do. "Master Zhou once came to the village to provide free medical treatment..."
There are just many people who are suspicious. Although there are many people who go to join in the fun, most of them are elderly people in the village. They do not allow young people and children in the village to go, for fear that the people who come are bad people. What if they are beggars who take people away?
Even though Zhou Man was accompanied by a yamen runner, no one really believed her.
"Some time ago, the wife of the Zheng family told us that the medical office was a blessing from the Empress Dowager, and that as long as we didn't get any medicine, we didn't have to pay for it. For those who were poor, even the medicine could be waived. That's when we realized there was such a good place in the county town."
Because the wife of the headman boasted that she had seen the princess, the emperor's daughter, who was as beautiful as a fairy, and that Lord Zhou was sent by the royal family to do good deeds for the empress and the princess.
The villagers believed it without a doubt, so they made an appointment to come to the county town to receive the merit.
Zhou Man walked into the inner room, took the little girl's hand and sat her on a hospital bed. He pulled her hand over to feel her pulse and asked quietly, "What do you eat for breakfast at home?"
The little girl heard her whispering softly, as if she was whispering something to her. After a moment's hesitation, she whispered back, "Eat some steamed buns."
"flour?"
The little girl shook her head, "How can we possibly afford to eat white flour? We eat multi-grain steamed buns."
"Do you like it?"
The little girl hesitated for a moment and then shook her head.
Zhou Man asked her quietly, "What do you like to eat?"
The little girl also whispered: "I like to drink porridge, rice is also OK, but I don't feel good eating steamed buns."
"Have you told your mother?"
The little girl nodded, her voice low, "My mother said that eating dry food is good, it fills you up and gives you strength."
But she has a weak spleen and stomach, especially insufficient stomach qi. The grains she eats are not fine enough, which is actually a burden on her stomach and intestines, and she cannot absorb them well.
Zhou Man asked her again, "What work do you want to do at home?"
"I don't do much work. My mother only lets me wash clothes and cook. Everything else is done by my brothers and sisters-in-law."
Zhou Man: "...For example?"
"For example, collecting grass to feed the pigs, cleaning the pig pens, and carrying water to the fields," the little girl said frankly. "My mother said these jobs were hard and I wasn't in good health, so she wouldn't let me do them. She let my brothers and sisters-in-law do it all."
Zhou Man held her hand and said, "Everything else is fine. Don't wash clothes anymore. Try a different job. Cutting grass for pigs is good."
Little girl: ...
See you tomorrow
