Chapter 406 They Came to Our Door
Faced with Yao Qingqing's sincerity and efforts to fight for her, Li San Niang was somewhat moved, but considering the things about herself that she couldn't let outsiders know, she really couldn't accept this disciple.
Unlike Song Fuling, Yao Qingqing was not young; she was already a married woman in her twenties with her own family.
The reason why Li San Niang took Song Fu Ling as her disciple was that Song Fu Ling was intelligent, young, and had her own opinions. She was a disciple who could be guided and gradually taught into the kind of person she hoped to be.
Secondly, the Song family lived in the same neighborhood as him and had a clean reputation.
It can be said that after Li San Niang successfully took Song Fu Ling as her disciple, the Song family and the Li family were basically united, sharing both prosperity and adversity.
As for Linglan, the young lady from Shihualou in Pingkangfang, Li Sanniang wanted to take her as her apprentice. Firstly, she valued Linglan's eagerness to learn. Those with such a mindset, regardless of their intelligence, can always give their all.
The second is naturally Li San Niang's secret identity within the Bad Guys organization.
Linglan used to be a maid in a brothel. She aspired to become a female doctor so that she could provide medical care for maids in such circumstances. This shared aspiration with Li Sanniang, who wanted to help maids in brothels.
Therefore, after much deliberation, Li San Niang accepted Ling Lan as her disciple.
But Yao Qingqing is not an option.
Yao Qingqing is intelligent and eager to learn, but this does not make her suitable for Li San Niang to take as a disciple.
The risks are too great, there are too many variables, and it doesn't align with what Li San Niang is going to do in the future.
"Madam Yao, rest assured, whether you become my disciple or not, I will teach you everything I know."
What I teach my disciples about being a midwife, I will certainly teach you as well.
After thinking for a moment, Li San Niang stood up and said, "Wait a moment, I'll go get something."
After a while, Li San Niang came over with a medical book she had written earlier about treating women's illnesses.
Li San Niang handed over the book: "This is a book I compiled about female infantile diseases and delivering babies for female infants."
Seeing how eager you are to learn, I think you don't just want to be a midwife, but rather aspire to be a female doctor.
Take this book home and read it. If conditions allow in the future, there might be a women's medical school. If you're ahead of the curve, you'll definitely be able to become a female doctor.
After giving her some encouragement, Li San Niang finally helped Yao Qingqing onto the carriage.
Although she did not agree to take Yao Qingqing as her disciple, Li San Niang was still very pleased with Yao Qingqing's character.
Only those who fight for their own future can live a better life!
Li San Niang thought to herself, "It's still too slow, too slow. When will we be able to openly and legitimately let female doctors take the stage?"
Regardless, life must go on.
Today, while on duty, Li Sanniang felt the enthusiasm of the women who came to see her.
That morning, Li Sanniang brought over twenty young women, all of whom came to inquire about having children.
However, among them, only two women came to see the doctor with their husbands; the rest were accompanied by their mothers-in-law or mothers.
Among these people, there were indeed a few who had not been able to conceive for a long time due to their own poor health. As for the others, before they called Lang Xu to come and examine them together, Li San Niang could not determine the reason for their infertility over the years.
"Haha, I knew it, didn't I?"
"Now that you've cured that couple's infertility problem, people will surely hear about your skills and come to you for treatment!"
Tang Mingyue said this to Li Sanniang with a smile. Li Sanniang nodded helplessly: "It's fine if they ask me to treat them, but they won't bring their husbands with them. How can I treat them?"
As a physician, Tang Mingyue naturally understood what Li Sanniang meant. This important matter of having children required the union of husband and wife to conceive. Therefore, if they were to come for a consultation, both husband and wife had to come together.
However, nowadays there aren't many men who are willing to set aside their pride and be considerate of women, which explains why Li San Niang is so helpless.
After chatting for a few more minutes, Li San Niang and Qiu Xiang went out to have lunch.
The boss wasn't so busy that afternoon. Aunt Luo (who appears in Chapter 290), who had visited earlier, and her daughter-in-law Xiuniang came together.
Looking at Aunt Luo's appearance, Li San Niang knew that she must have been well taken care of by her family recently, as her fair and rosy complexion was good proof of that.
After taking her pulse, Li Sanniang called Aunt Luo into the inner room, performed a palpation examination, and even used her special abilities to examine the fetus inside Aunt Luo's abdomen.
Li San Niang calculated the days, mentally comparing the size of the fetus she had just seen with her X-ray vision, and said to Aunt Luo, "Auntie, this child is being raised very well. I just checked the pulse and felt the baby, and it seems the child has grown quite large."
"Auntie, you're getting on in years. The children grow faster as they get older, so you need to be extra careful, otherwise it will be really difficult to conceive later."
These words made Aunt Luo blush. As Xiu Niang had said, Li San Niang did indeed prescribe hawthorn pills to aid digestion.
As the two women took their medicine from the medicine cabinet and walked out, it was clear that Xiu Niang was whispering something to Aunt Luo.
"Mother, you can't keep eating like this."
As Dr. Li just mentioned, raising this child too big will make future births more difficult.
Aunt Luo looked around and, seeing that no one was paying attention, quietly pulled Xiu Niang's arm and said, "Hey, hey, I know, I know, don't say anything more, everyone's watching us."
After finishing her shift today, Li Sanniang specially sent Nineteen to Wuhoupu, mainly to see Lianniang.
"I got a fever that night, but I haven't had a fever since."
Dr. Li, when do you think we should remove the stitches?
I asked the little girl, and she said she felt a little itchy.
As soon as Li San Niang entered the door, she saw Lian Niang looking at herself in a bronze mirror. Her mother exclaimed in surprise, "Doctor Li, you've come!"
Lian Niang then put down the bronze mirror and looked at Li San Niang with a happy smile.
"Are you feeling alright? Does the wound hurt? Does it itch?"
After examining Lian Niang, Li San Niang repeatedly reminded her not to get it wet before saying to the doctor who had come with her, "Wait two more days and see. If there's nothing wrong, the stitches can be removed in two days."
After visiting Lianniang, Li Sanniang did not return to the Li family. Instead, she picked up Linglan, who was carrying Ping'an, on the way, and the group headed towards Pingkangfang.
Ever since Qi Zhidie first brought Dilibier to the Li family's door (appearing in Chapter 82), and even after Li San Niang put the maids of Shihualou into the secret book of the Maids' Assistance Association, Qi Zhidie has given them a certain amount of money and valuables every time.
Of course, even if Qi Zhidie doesn't pay, Li Sanniang will still help the women of Shihualou.
But Qi Zhidie gave money, which made the situation a little different.
The money was naturally handed over directly to Sister-in-law Li and entered into the secret ledger of the Women's Assistance Association's accounts.
But Li San Niang always had the mentality that if she took someone's money, she had to do a good job for them. Therefore, every ten days or half a month, Li San Niang would come to Shi Hua Lou to treat the women in the brothel.
Therefore, when Li San Niang and her companions got off the carriage at the back gate of Shi Hua Lou, they saw Qi Zhi Die waiting there with a lantern.
