Chapter 396 Zhao Di, Pan Di, Lai Di, Yin Di, Di, Ying Di, Jie Di
No matter what, life goes on.
Today, the number of women coming to see Li San Niang for treatment has increased significantly compared to the previous two days.
Li San Niang had just seen off a pregnant woman who was clearly suffering from iron-deficiency anemia. She didn't prescribe any medicine, but only told her to go back and buy some pig's blood and liver to eat.
Yingniang and Shunzi sat down at the consultation table together, and Li Sanniang felt happy when she saw Yingniang's rosy face.
"Dr. Li, we're here again."
Haha, the city was bustling with activity during the Lantern Festival a few days ago; we made quite a bit of money.
Li San Niang smiled and responded, gesturing for Ying Niang to extend her hand to take her pulse.
Yingniang had long been familiar with the process, so she placed her wrist on the pulse pillow that had been placed there beforehand, and remained calm and silent so as not to delay Li Sanniang's pulse diagnosis.
Shunzi remained seated without uttering a sound, but as Li Sanniang's expression changed, Shunzi's heart also wavered.
This is because, although vegetables cannot be sold in winter, there is a small river next to their village that is not shallow, and some fish can come from it.
Shunzi's family started selling fish. This morning, when the fish soup that had been simmering all night was served, Yingniang actually gagged at the smell of the fish.
At that moment, Shunzi's mother's face lit up with joy, "Oh my, Yingniang, could it be that you're possessed by a child?"
Therefore, Shunzi and Yingniang came to Li Sanniang's place today to take a look.
If she really is pregnant, then Yingniang will have to take good care of herself from now on, because this child really didn't come easily.
If it's just normal dry heaving, don't worry, we can talk about having children later.
Therefore, when Shunzi saw the joy on Li Sanniang's face, he was overjoyed.
Seeing the hopeful looks in their eyes, Li San Niang nodded and said with a smile, "Haha, it's definitely a pregnancy, only a month or so."
"Ah! I'm going to be a father! I'm having a baby! I'm going to be a father!"
Shunzi was so happy she didn't know where to put her hands, so she grabbed Yingniang, who was also smiling broadly, and shouted loudly.
As she spoke, Shunzi choked up and burst into tears.
"Ah, Yingniang, thanks to you," Shunzi, hiccuping, clung to Yingniang like a child, "thank you for not disliking me."
"Yingniang, I'm going to be a father! I have my own child now!"
These words were heartbreaking. Even the usually cheerful Yingniang, who was smiling, had her eyes redden after Shunzi's words.
After a long period of comforting, Li San Niang finally calmed the two down.
"Now that you have twins, you shouldn't do any heavy work for now."
In terms of diet, if possible, eating more meat and eggs is good.
If we could buy a ewe, it would be good to drink some goat milk every day.
This is still early pregnancy, so to be on the safe side, it's best to avoid sexual intercourse during the first three months.
Although Li San Niang spoke softly, it still made the shy Shunzi blush, and he could only nod in agreement.
“We all listen to Dr. Li, whatever Dr. Li says goes.”
Then Li San Niang let Ying Niang into the inner room and performed a palpation on her. She also took the opportunity to use her special ability. It was truly a double blessing that Ying Niang had two gestational sacs in her uterus!
Twins!
However, let's wait until the two of them come again to tell them this news. After all, when Li San Niang took their pulses just now, she only detected a positive pulse, but not twins.
"Be careful with your food, don't do any heavy work, and come back to see me next month."
"Oh, Dr. Li, you're busy. We'll come back to see you next time."
After seeing Shunzi and Yingniang off, they heard Tang Mingyue from next door peek over and wink at Li Sanniang.
"Dr. Li, the number of people coming to see you about having children is probably going to break down the door of our clinic!"
Li San Niang was stunned for a moment, then realized what was going on.
"Haha, if that's really the case, then it's exactly what I wanted."
"The more experience you accumulate in treating a particular illness, the better you'll be at finding ways to cure it, which is a good thing."
As for how Yingniang happily told her mother-in-law when she learned she was pregnant, and how Shunzi's mother was so happy to tell the villagers and even the customers she often came to the city to sell her goods, Li Sanniang had no idea.
Right now, standing in front of Li San Niang was a pitifully thin woman with dark skin, but a protruding lower abdomen. Beside this woman stood a little girl who was equally thin, like a reed stick.
"Please sit down, madam, so I can begin my examination."
"Oh," the woman said cautiously as she sat down on the stool, while the little girl, as thin as a reed, stood behind her with her head down.
"Where is my wife feeling unwell?"
The woman seemed to have mentally prepared herself. After Li Sanniang waited for a couple of breaths, the woman whispered to Li Sanniang, "I've been bleeding from my lower body these past few days. I'm worried about the baby in my belly, so I wanted to see a doctor."
Wang Zhaodi thought about the ten copper coins she had just handed over, and then she mustered up the courage to speak to Li Sanniang.
It should be noted that these ten copper coins were secretly saved by Wang Zhaodi after she married into the Sun family.
It was Wang Zhaodi's first time visiting the clinic. She had heard that there were female doctors there, and for the sake of the baby in her womb, she gritted her teeth and paid the copper coins.
Li San Niang asked Wang Zhao Di with a calm expression, "When was the bleeding first discovered? How much was it? How much was it?"
Do you have abdominal pain?
Have you seen a doctor? Have you taken any herbal medicine?
After Wang Zhaodi finished explaining everything, Li Sanniang let her into the inner room so she could perform a physical examination and check the cause of the bleeding from her lower body.
But when Wang Zhaodi got inside, she found that the wooden bed frame was covered with a light green cloth. Wang Zhaodi looked at her own clothes, which she had worn to work, and found them to be gray and dusty.
If I lie down as the doctor suggested, won't I just get this cloth dirty?
Li San Niang noticed Wang Zhaodi's discomfort and simply smiled, "It's alright. If you're worried about getting it dirty, just take off your outer garment."
Qiu Xiang wanted to take the outer garment that Wang Zhaodi had taken off and put it aside, but unexpectedly Wang Zhaodi said to the young girl who came in with her, "Laidi, you hold this for your mother, don't make this place dirty."
Lai Di obediently stepped forward and hugged Wang Zhaodi's not-so-clean outer garment, then stood quietly to the side and waited.
Li San Niang felt a little uncomfortable when she heard that the young girl was called "Lai Di", but she still wanted to examine the person first.
After Li San Niang finished her examination and then used the external device to examine Wang Zhao Di's uterus, she felt a heavy heart and a sense of pity. This was reflected on her face, making both Wang Zhao Di and Lai Di tremble with fear.
After everyone sat down again, Li San Niang focused on asking Wang Zhao Di about her reproductive history. When Wang Zhao Di proudly said, "I married Lai Di's father when I was fifteen, and gave birth to Lai Di the following year."
The year after that, she gave birth to Pandi, paused for a year, and then gave birth to Yindi.
In less than a year, Yingdi was born.
Later, she gave birth prematurely to a girl, but the baby didn't survive.
Wang Zhaodi touched her belly and continued to say to Li Sanniang, "This is my seventh child. People say that this time my belly is pointed, so this baby will definitely be a little boy."
"Doctor, did you figure it out for me? Is this baby a boy?"
Li San Niang counted in her mind, and realized something was wrong; one child was missing. So she asked.
As a result, Wang Zhaodi, feeling guilty, avoided Li Sanniang's gaze and stammered without speaking. Li Sanniang then said, "If you sincerely want me to treat you, you must tell the truth, otherwise what will happen if you harm the child in your womb?"
Then Wang Zhaodi whispered, "When I was three months pregnant, the itinerant doctor examined me and said it was a girl, so I took some medicine and miscarried."
