"For example, there are mostly male doctors in the world, and women doctors are often looked down upon. But my medical skills are no worse than any man's. Even though everyone looks down on female doctors, when they encounter a disease that only I can cure but others can't, they will ask me to go. After seeing my medical skills, people will gradually change their original conventional ideas and think that it turns out that women doctors in this world are no worse than male doctors!"
Yu Jiao paused and continued, "Many men in the world are unfaithful. They have affairs with prostitutes and mistresses, but they are rarely criticized. It's not you who is wrong, it's the world. That's why you should live a good life and live a decent life so that everyone knows that they are wrong, and it's the world that is wrong."
As Wang Xueyan listened to her shocking words, her eyes gradually brightened, as if a spark of fire was burning in her pupils.
Shen Guan's gaze towards Yu Jiao also became somewhat different. She had never seen or heard such a woman or such words anywhere else.
These girls have been taught since childhood to follow the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, and to be gentle and virtuous ladies from wealthy families. Only in this way can they marry a man of their dreams.
As long as you marry a good man, there will be a good result in this life.
Even if their husbands were philandering and lustful, they could not be jealous, but should generously help their husbands take concubines and welcome the new people with a smile. Otherwise, they would be considered jealous and violated one of the seven grounds for divorce, thus bringing chaos to the family.
But what Doctor Yu said today made her realize how ridiculous these rules and regulations she had been taught since childhood were.
People use harsh books like "Female Commandments" and "Female Training" to put layers of shackles on women, but are particularly tolerant of men.
When a husband takes a concubine, it is a sign of lust and immorality on the part of the man, but a woman should not even be jealous, otherwise it will be detrimental to the continuation of the family and cause family discord.
But if you trace it back to the root cause, it was all the men's fault. They were the ones who wanted to take concubines, but they put the blame on the women.
Yu Jiao's words today not only awakened Wang Xueyan, but also planted a seed in Shen Wan's heart.
Yu Jiao walked to the bedside and said, "If you are alive, there will be less blame and criticism for women who are forced to divorce like you in the future."
Wang Xueyan looked at Yu Jiao's clear eyes, and suddenly felt her heart filled with endless courage. She said firmly, "Miss Yu is right. I should live a good life!"
She had been submissive and weak for the past eighteen years, leading to her current situation.
No matter how bad the second half of my life is, it will never be worse than living in the Sun family. What is there to be afraid of?
Chen Wan burst into laughter upon hearing this, hugged Wang Xueyan and said, "Cousin, you are right to think so."
After comforting Wang Xueyan, Yu Jiao followed Chen Wan to the outer room.
Seeing Shen Wan coming out, the leading doctor Lin said, "Miss Shen should make plans early. If you delay like this, Madam Sun may be in danger of her life."
Chen Wan looked at Yu Jiao, "Doctor Yu, do you have any way to remove the dead fetus in my cousin's belly? Doctor Lin wants to use a strong medicine, but my cousin's body may not be able to withstand it. Do you have a better way, Doctor Yu?"
"Miss Xueyan has lost too much blood. If she uses more strong drugs, I'm afraid there will be two deaths." Yu Jiao said in a factual tone.
Upon hearing this, Doctor Lin looked at Yu Jiao with contempt in his eyes and said, "May I ask what advice this female doctor Yu has?"
Yu Jiao looked calm, "I can perform a cesarean section to remove the dead fetus."
"Cesarean section..." Chen Guan felt that these two words sounded very scary, and expressed his worries, "How can my cousin survive if the fetus is removed by cesarean section?"
"Nonsense!" Lin Fang on the side swung his sleeves and said in a condescending manner, "Miss Shen, I don't know where you found this female doctor. If you believe her, Madam Sun will definitely die! Caesarean section to remove the fetus is really sensational. Cutting open the belly, this is not saving people, it is clearly killing people!"
Of the two doctors who came with Lin Fang, one of the younger male doctors also said, "It is unheard of to open the abdomen to take out the fetus. Doctor Lin said that if the abdomen is opened, Madam Sun will definitely die. This female doctor Yu is a little too fanciful."
Chen Wan was just a girl in the boudoir. After hearing what Lin Fang, a doctor, said, she asked Yu Jiao, "Miss Yu, do you have a better idea?"
Yu Jiao shook her head and said calmly, "If you want me to save Miss Xueyan, the only way is to perform a cesarean section to remove the fetus. Although a cesarean section sounds a bit scary, I can indeed save people. The doctors think it is alarmist, but it is just because they are not well-trained and have little experience! Ginseng is a treasure, but it can also harm people. Arsenic is poisonous, but it can also save people. It's the same principle."
Lin Fang smiled coldly, "You are so arrogant! I don't know where this little girl came from, but she dares to call herself a female doctor!"
He raised his hands to the sky and said proudly, "Lin's master is known as a gynecologist in the Imperial Hospital of the capital. He is a well-known imperial physician. Even the imperial physician has never heard of cesarean section to remove the fetus. I would like to ask who you are studying under? What is your master's name?"
Yu Jiao smiled faintly, "That's because your master is ignorant! You don't need to care who I am studying under or who my master is. Treating illnesses and practicing medicine does not depend on whose master is famous, but on whether you have real skills."
"What a skill you have! If you cannot save Madam Sun by performing a caesarean section, do you dare to die as an apology?" Lin Fang was very angry at Yu Jiao's frivolous look. He learned from the imperial physician and had made great achievements in the medical field in Qingzhou. Everyone respected him. Even officials were quite polite to him. No one had ever accused him of being unskilled in front of him.
Seeing the strong tension between the two, Shen Guan hurriedly advised, "You two are both trying to save my cousin's life, so let's discuss it properly and don't hurt the harmony."
Yang Jiyan tugged at Yu Jiao's sleeve and gently warned her, "This is a matter of life and death, don't do anything reckless. Doctor Lin is a highly skilled doctor and he is several decades older than you, so you should listen to him."
Shen Wan also said, "Doctor Lin's method is more reliable. Miss Yu, it's not that I don't trust your medical skills, but it's related to my cousin's life, so I have to be cautious."
Upon hearing this, Yu Jiao said nothing more and sat down on a chair nearby.
Seeing that Chen Guan and Yang Jiyan valued him more, Lin Fang's attitude also became arrogant. After asking people to get the medicine according to his prescription, he glanced at Yu Jiao and said, "Little girl, I still want to advise you that practicing medicine is to save people, not a joke. Relying on medical practice to cheat people harms lives. Even if you are lucky enough not to cause a big disaster, it is only a matter of time before you get involved in a murder lawsuit! As a woman, you should abide by the rules and stay at home to learn needlework and knitting. You really shouldn't be ignorant of the world and show your face outside!"
