After sending Jiang Qiao'er away, Bai Nuo glanced into the room and, seeing that Jiang San Niang showed no signs of waking up, sighed, turned around, closed the door, and went downstairs. She returned shortly afterward, carrying a basin of hot water with towels inside, which was steaming.
Bai Nuo pushed open the door and went inside.
The room reeked of blood. The floor was still stained with blood because it hadn't been cleaned up yet. Some of the blood had been stepped on by the doctor, leaving faint marks around the bloodstains, making the room look somewhat dirty.
Bai Nuo walked to the bedside, placed the basin on the shelf next to it, and seeing that Jiang San Niang was still asleep, did not wake her up. After placing the basin, he opened the wardrobe door, took out Jiang San Niang's clothes and bed sheets, wiped the bloodstains off Jiang San Niang's skin, and then changed the bed sheets and clothes for Jiang San Niang.
While Bai Nuo was washing clothes for Jiang San Niang in the courtyard, Jiang Qiao'er also returned with the medicine. She stood in the courtyard, staring at Bai Nuo without saying a word. If Bai Nuo hadn't occasionally looked up, she wouldn't have noticed Jiang Qiao'er. It's amazing that Jiang Qiao'er could stand there like that.
Suddenly seeing Jiang Qiao'er, Bai Nuo was also startled.
"Did the doctor say what this medicine is for?" Bai Nuo asked.
"The doctor said it was to treat my sister's facial injury, just one dose of medicine, that's all!" Jiang Qiao'er explained to Bai Nuo with a sob in her voice, her face and forehead covered in fine beads of sweat, showing that she had run out and run back.
"Do you know how to brew medicine? Do you need my help?" Bai Nuo asked Jiang Qiao'er, her hands soaking in cold water.
Jiang Qiao'er shook her head silently and went into the kitchen. Bai Nuo felt very sorry for her when she saw her like this.
Ultimately, the siblings and Jiang San Niang and her sister have too many similarities. Bai Yu was like that before, very stubborn and not talkative, and would fight to the death at the drop of a hat. Just think about how Bai Yu treated Chen Zhi before. When Jiang Qiao'er is not talking, she is very similar to Bai Yu, with a stubbornness that is immediately apparent.
Jiang San Niang and Jiang Qiao'er lost their parents at a young age, and for them, having a father was as good as not having one.
So Bai Nuo looked at them as if they were looking at herself.
Bai Nuo washed the clothes and hung them on the clothesline. She went to the kitchen to check on Jiang Qiao'er. Jiang Qiao'er was sitting on a small stool, holding a small stick in her hand. There was an earthenware pot on the stove, which was steaming.
"I'm going out for a bit to buy some things and I'll be right back. Once you've brewed the medicine, bring it to your sister while it's still hot!" Bai Nuo said, and after receiving Jiang Qiao'er's response, she left the backyard and headed towards the market.
When she returned, she was followed by two burly men.
"That's enough, just put it on the ground. I'll take care of the rest!" Bai Nuo was also carrying a lot of things, and she put them on the ground while directing the two big men.
The two burly men were carrying thirty chickens in one hand and a large jar of rice wine in the other, while Bai Nuo himself was carrying a large bag of ginger.
These are all for Jiang San Niang to eat.
Although it was a miscarriage, it still meant the postpartum period, so it couldn't be taken lightly, otherwise, it could easily lead to health problems.
Jiang San Niang is still so young. She was ruined once by a scumbag. She can't be ruined a second time.
Bai Nuo let the thirty chickens cluck on the ground, walked over, grabbed one, took a knife from the kitchen, stepped on the chicken's wings, held the knife in one hand and pinched the chicken's head with the other, and with a swift motion, the hen that was jumping around just a second ago had its throat slit.
Bai Nuo deftly picked up the hen, bled it, wrapped its head inside its wing, and then tossed it aside, ignoring it completely.
She went back to the kitchen to boil water. While waiting for the water to boil, Bai Nuo took out a large piece of ginger, peeled the whole piece of ginger, and cut it into slices.
After the water boiled, Bai Nuo began to pluck the chicken feathers, cleaned the hen, set aside the giblets, and chopped the chicken meat into large pieces for later use.
She bought so many things to make fried chicken wine for Jiang San Niang. Women in her hometown eat fried chicken wine after giving birth. The people here don't know what to eat, so they simply eat it according to their local custom.
Heat a wok with a suitable amount of oil, similar to what you would use for stir-frying. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken pieces and stir-fry until the moisture in the chicken is released. After the chicken becomes smaller, whiter, and drier, add the ginger slices and continue to stir-fry evenly. Then, pour in a bowl of rice wine, two bowls of water, and salt. Cover the wok and bring the chicken to a boil over high heat. After that, pour all the chicken and broth into a clay pot and simmer over low heat until tender. The stir-fried chicken with rice wine is now ready.
The chicken soup in the stir-fried chicken wine is golden in color and has a mellow wine aroma. The alcohol has long since evaporated after being stewed for a long time, so it will not make you drunk, but it has the effects of stimulating appetite, promoting salivation, dispelling cold and dampness, and nourishing yin and kidneys.
When Bai Nuo brought the chicken soup to Jiang San Niang's room, Jiang San Niang was already sitting up. Jiang Qiao'er was sitting opposite her, silently watching her. When Bai Nuo came in, Jiang San Niang just glanced at her silently and didn't say anything.
His eyes were red, as if he had just been crying.
Jiang San Niang did find out.
"The good stuff is here!" Bai Nuo pulled up a stool and sat on the edge of the bed. She scooped up a spoonful of chicken soup, blew on it, and put it to Jiang San Niang's lips. She smiled and said, "Does your face still hurt? Even if it does, you have to eat some. You have to eat this for the next month. Once you finish it, you'll feel better!"
To hell with scumbag men and scheming mothers-in-law!
