Chapter 733: Rescue at Night
He is still very frugal when spending money.
The servants in the mansion ate mixed rice three times a day, and during festivals, they ate refined rice. He and Grandma Rong ate refined rice, but only twice a day.
Don’t think that mixed rice is not as good as refined rice.
In fact, many families out there eat brown rice porridge, and even mix some wild vegetables or cabbage and sweet potato to fill their stomachs.
The food this group eats is much better than what other servants in the town eat.
However, it is still not as good as the Jiang family.
No matter whether the food was expensive or cheap, the servants of the Jiang family always ate refined rice, had meat and eggs every day, and even if there was extra milk that the masters couldn't finish, they could also have a drink.
From the main hall of the Dong family, laughter spread to the yard.
The trees in the yard became bare, but there were no fallen leaves on the ground.
The broom placed in the corner was shiny from being held, proving that it had been used many times and bore the marks of age.
After the sun completely set, the sky changed from purple-pink to orange-yellow and then to black-blue.
When it gets brighter, it's already the end of the year.
A heavy snow fell, and the cabbages in the fields were dressed in new clothes.
It's New Year again.
It was as lively as last year, with fireworks as usual.
This year, Meng Bujiu and Meng Zhili finally had a good reunion year at the Dong family without any emergencies or bad news to disturb them.
Meng Bujiu also had dinner with Jiang Fubao when he came to pay New Year's greetings.
The father and son stayed until the fifth day before leaving one after another.
Jiang Fubao originally wanted to rest until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, but on the night of the fifth day, someone smashed his door.
It turned out that the daughter-in-law of a regular customer of the snack shop was having a difficult labor, and the fetus came out feet first. The midwife was so scared that she said there was no hope for the baby and didn't even want any money. She took advantage of the family's anxiety and sneaked away through the back door, for fear of being held responsible.
How could a woman let a doctor treat her during childbirth? Even if the doctor saved the mother and child, her reputation would be ruined. How would the woman live?
I'm afraid I'll be hanged on the beam with a rope.
So the family thought of Jiang Fubao.
Besides her, who else in the city can save lives?
Female doctors were only kept by aristocratic families, and it was impossible for a small merchant like them to get in touch with them.
As the only female doctor, Jiang Fubao was regarded as their life-saving straw.
Jiang Fubao was woken up by the doorman in her sleep. After hearing the whole story, she hurriedly put on her clothes. She didn't even comb her hair properly, but simply tied it up with a hairpin, then left with the medicine box. Xue Huan wanted to follow her, but was stopped by Jiang Fubao.
She was really too young, and I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to bear it after seeing that scene.
The doorman was afraid that if Jiang Fubao went alone, he might not be able to save the woman in labor, and the whole family would go crazy and she would be in danger, so after Jiang Fubao left, he went to the backyard to wake up Pan Shitou and Pan Erya.
The brother and sister also quickly stood up and chased after him.
Just when Jiang Fubao arrived, he caught up with him.
The master and his servants went in together.
When I came out again, it was daybreak.
A ray of golden sunlight shone obliquely on Jiang Fubao's face, illuminating the down on her face clearly, as soft as the snow on the ground.
The sweat on Jiang Fubao's forehead had been wiped clean, but her tired face showed how difficult the treatment last night was.
She pushed the fetus, which had already come out with one leg, back into the mother's womb, then pressed the woman's belly with her bare hands and managed to turn the fetus around.
Unfortunately, the family was too late to call her, and the baby was no longer breathing when it came out. In addition, the mother was frightened and bled heavily.
It took too much time to save the mother and the baby.
This was delayed until morning.
"It's such a blessing that mother and child are safe. If he hadn't come to call young lady, I'm afraid both would have died. No one except young lady can save them." Pan Erya had been with Jiang Fubao, so she naturally went into the delivery room as well.
She breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest which was feeling a little stuffy.
Pan Shitou, who was guarding outside, had no idea what the scene was like inside.
But when he heard the screams of the woman in labor, he guessed how terrifying it was.
"It's a pity. Although he was saved, he has been holding his breath for so long that he will probably be a half-idiot when he grows up. I hope this family will treat him well." He also imitated his sister, exhaled a breath of foul air, and spoke slowly.
"Fortunately, it's a boy. If it was a girl, even if I saved her, she might not be able to save her life." Jiang Fubao breathed a sigh of relief.
She handed the medicine box to Pan Shitou.
Walk lightly to the left.
Although her reputation made many families in and outside the city feel that women were also useful, 90% of families still favored boys over girls, including this family. The child was not even born yet, but they called him "grandson" all the time, as if they were sure that the child was a boy.
If this is a girl, or a idiot who has been suppressed by the will, her fate would probably be to be raised like a cat or a dog, and given food to eat as long as she doesn't starve to death. Or she might not grow up at all. After all, who would marry a idiot? If no one marries her, it means they will have to raise her until she grows old.
A fool is more likely to cause trouble, which is simply a loss-making business.
By then, the child might not even have the chance to see the world clearly, and will sleep forever in the mountains.
Become a lonely ghost.
No wonder Jiang Fubao made malicious assumptions.
Too many baby girls here have died at the hands of their loved ones.
"Come on, I'll treat you all to breakfast, and then go back to sleep, and then go to the clinic this afternoon. This family is quite generous and gave me two taels of silver." Jiang Fubao raised her right hand and waved it. The silver in her hand shone in the sunlight and was a little dazzling.
"Okay, miss, I want to eat meat buns, three! I also want wontons, and a fried pancake, and tofu pudding, too."
Pan Erya has a big appetite.
Pan Shitou and his sister are even more so. They are now very strong and look like thugs in a casino.
Jiang Fubao has gotten used to it.
She repeated everything Pan Erya said.
She only ate half a bowl of tofu pudding and a meat bun. After seeing such a bloody scene, she really had no appetite.
Pan Erya ate the remaining half bowl.
I went home after eating.
Just happened to catch up with Zhang Jinlan and her group coming out.
The concierge had already told them this.
"Are you tired? Get some good sleep later. Erya and Shitou, the same goes for you. Don't be busy today. Get some good sleep. By the way, did you save the woman?" Zhang Jinlan asked, holding her granddaughter's hand with concern.
"He's alive, but it's a pity that the child has been held back for too long. He'll probably be a fool when he grows up. Fortunately, it's a boy." Jiang Fubao replied.
"That's good. Being stupid is fine. It's better than being dead. Anyway, the Yan family is rich, so it's not difficult to support a fool. Go back and have a rest. Grandma won't ask any more questions. If you have anything to say, we can talk tonight."
Zhang Jinlan actually wanted to ask for details, but when she saw her granddaughter's depressed look, she felt so distressed that she sent her back to the second courtyard to sleep.
Then she set off to the snack shop.
Pan Erya and Pan Shitou also went back to their rooms, took off their shoes, and were too lazy to change their clothes. They just fell on the bed and fell asleep.
