With a startled cry, Old Lady Zhao took two steps back.
Chunyan'er put her hands on her hips and said, "My eldest sister and I only have daughters. It's your son's fault for not being able to conceive properly, so don't blame your mother! I'm not your weak and delicate eldest sister; I have plenty of strength and means to deal with you!"
Although Chun Yan'er was a concubine and not as beautiful as Wu Yan Yan, who sang for money, she was naturally skilled at seducing men in bed, and she managed to keep Huang Zhigao from yelling at her.
"You're nothing but a concubine my family bought. What's there to be proud of? Boss, hurry up and sell this piece of trash to me!"
Granny Zhao covered her bleeding eyes and cursed.
Old Huang's eyes gleamed with a hint of impatience as he said, "Hurry up and wrap your eyes with a cloth!"
His eyes were gouged out, and they were simply wrapped in cloth.
"I...I need to see a doctor!" Granny Zhao said.
Old Huang said, "Why see a doctor? Seeing a doctor is free! You spendthrift woman, just wash yourself with a cloth and rub some grass ash on yourself! If you dare to see a doctor, I'll break your legs!"
Old Mrs. Zhao also lost her domineering manner.
Her son, Huang Zhigao, remained oblivious to everything else, focusing solely on his promiscuous relationship with Wu Yanyan.
Wu Yanyan is very beautiful.
Granny Zhao had one eye gouged out, and she was crying out in pain at home. Zhang Chunyan was outside, hands on her hips, cursing:
"You old hag, stop whining and go cook! I'm not cooking without your sister here! If you want to die, die now! Before your son gambles away your life savings, if I were you, I'd hang myself from a tree right now! So that no one will bury me when I die!"
Upon hearing her second son's words, Old Lady Zhao trembled with fear. Afraid that Zhang Chunyan would gouge out another eye, she said in a trembling voice:
"Old man, let's bring the eldest son back!"
Old Huang said, "Hmm!"
His son is quite lucky with women; he has three beautiful wives, and his first wife is a delicate beauty.
Although the concubine he took in was not particularly beautiful, she still possessed a captivating charm.
Needless to say, the newly seduced little vixen had a swaying, graceful figure as she walked, like a willow swaying in the breeze, naturally exuding a flirtatious charm.
Chen Yu mixed eggs with flour, added some scallions and salt. She had just finished making one pancake from two large bowls of flour when Niu Er picked it up. It was still a little hot, so he quickly blew on it to warm it up.
"Little Fu Bao, your second uncle will blow it out before you eat it!"
In three months, Xiao Fubao will be one year old. Xiao Fubao has already started teething, and the scallion pancakes smell delicious.
Little Fu Bao took a small bite, chewed it in her little mouth, and said, "Second... Uncle."
Niu Er rubbed his ears; he thought he heard Xiao Fubao speak: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I think I heard Xiao Fubao speak! She's calling me!"
Thinking he was talking nonsense, Madam Shen laughed and said, "She's still young, how could she talk?"
Niu Er said, "Sister-in-law really spoke. You can hear it if you don't believe me. Little Fu Bao, call him Second Uncle! Call him Second Uncle!"
But little Fu Bao wouldn't cooperate. He hung his head, played with his fingers, and didn't say a word.
Niu Er scratched the back of his head: "Could I have misheard? But Xiao Fu Bao really did speak!"
Shen Yu instructed, "Second brother, don't give Xiao Fu Bao too many pancakes, or she'll get an upset stomach!" She then cracked a bowl of eggs and steamed them.
After eating the flatbread, Niu Er followed Niu Da to the front to build a house.
Old Mrs. Zhong picked up Little Fu Bao and fed him bite by bite: "Little Fu Bao, call me Grandma!"
"Grandma!"
"Oh, this child seemed to have called out to someone just now!" Old Mrs. Zhong said to Shen Zishan.
Shen Zishan was holding Niu Baolan, who was a little over a year old, riding a horse when he heard this and leaned over, saying, "Then try having her call me 'father-in-law'!"
Xiao Fubao's pronunciation of the character "翁" is not very accurate.
"Old man, look, our little Fu Bao can really greet people now! Bao Zhu, Mei Hua, come here!" Old Mrs. Zhong said happily.
Niu Meihua and Niu Baozhu put down their wooden carts and ran over. Niu Baozhu tilted her head and looked at her fifth younger sister, saying, "Call me sister! Call me sister!"
"chicken"
Niu Meihua ran happily to the pig cage, grabbed Chen Yu's hand and said, "Mom, my little sister can really talk! Come here if you don't believe me!"
Chen Yu was somewhat skeptical, but she walked over, took Xiao Fubao's chubby hand, and said, "Call me Mommy! Mommy!"
"Mwah"
Although Xiao Fubao's pronunciation was inaccurate, Chen Yu was still so excited that she cried out, "Oh, my dear daughter!"
After six or seven days of rest, Niu Xiaomei was feeling better. She took Xiao Fubao from Granny Zhong's arms and said, "My dear in-law, your arms must be sore from holding him for so long. Let me hold him for a while!"
"good!"
“Call me Auntie! Auntie!” Niu Xiaomei said.
Little Fu Bao opened her mouth and made "ah ah ee ee" sounds.
Madam Shen laughed and said, "Although this child learned to speak early, he has only just learned to talk. How could he know so much already? Little sister, you should rest a bit. You can't overwork yourself!"
"Is this the Niu family?" a handsome young man asked from outside the door.
Niu Da and Niu Er looked up at the young man and said, "It's Doctor Xue! Second Brother, quickly invite Doctor Xue in for a seat!"
Although Xue Simiao's son, Xue Huaimin, knew Niu Da, he had never been there before, so he couldn't help but ask a question.
As soon as he entered, Chen Yu said, "It's Doctor Xue! Please come in! Mei Hua, pour Uncle Xue a cup of tea!"
Xue Huaimin said:
"My father is seeing another seriously ill patient today and couldn't come in person, so he asked me to take over your sister-in-law's case! I've already learned the general situation from my father!"
After Xue Huaimin drank his tea, Niu Meihua led him to where Niu Xiaomei was sleeping. The area was surrounded by a canopy. Just as Niu Xiaomei was about to get up, Xue Huaimin said:
"You don't need to get up, you can look at it like this!"
Niu Xiaomei stretched out her arm, which was covered with knife scars and vine marks. Xue Huaimin was startled, but these knife scars and vine marks had been there for a long time, and their colors varied in shade.
Xue Huaimin had a general understanding of the situation and didn't ask any more questions. He simply covered his wrist with a handkerchief and placed his hand on it. "You're still a little weak and your blood and qi are imbalanced, but it's not a big problem! Let me check the other parts of your body. Is that convenient?"
"Then, I'll have to trouble you, Dr. Xue!" said Niu Xiaomei.
When Xue Huaimin lifted the curtain and saw the woman on the bed, he was momentarily stunned. "Dr. Xue, Dr. Xue!" Niu Xiaomei called out a few times before pulling Xue Huaimin back from his daze.
He coughed lightly twice, then bent down and pressed on Niu Xiaomei's stomach a few times through her clothes. "There's still some prolapse. You need to rest well every day, but you also need to get up occasionally to keep your bowels moving. You need to eat more vegetables. I've prescribed some blood-tonifying medicine for you, and your prolapse is quite severe."
"In addition to acupuncture, I will also perform uterine massage for you every day. After about six months of this, you should recover. Please tell me if you feel any discomfort!"
Niu Xiaomei said somewhat embarrassedly, "Wouldn't that mean we'd have to trouble Doctor Xue to come in person every day?"
“It’s alright. Doctors are compassionate. Besides, you can come to my pharmacy for treatment after you’ve finished your postpartum confinement!” Xue Huaimin said.
