Chapter 614 The Sow with Piglets
For the next five days, Dr. Liang personally administered acupuncture to Sister-in-law Li. After five days, Sister-in-law Li's condition finally stabilized, and her face regained some color.
Since Brother Li, Second Brother Li, and Third Sister Li all had to go on duty every day, Wu Qiaolan, who was staying at the Li family's house, was the one who accompanied Sister-in-law Li every day.
The argument that took place in the main hall that day was known only to those present. Wu Qiaolan was not there at the time; she stayed with Li Dasao to take care of her.
Li Da Xiong, Li Er Lang, and everyone else chose to conceal Li Da Sao's illness from her. As a result, the Li family has been relatively peaceful these past few days, and as Li Da Sao's complexion has improved, the atmosphere in the Li family has become much better.
But this atmosphere became strange on the evening of the sixth day when Li San Niang had a large, fat pig driven into the Li family home.
The sow, being herded into the Li family's courtyard by two men wearing straw sandals and short brown clothes, had no choice but to obediently move her hooves.
Yes, this is a sow. Just look at her plump belly; how could you not know that she's a sow with piglets?
"Here, hey, let's tie it here for now."
The man herding the pigs tied the rope to the trunk of the jujube tree in the Li family's yard, as instructed by Li San Niang.
"Thank you very much."
Five days later, the old man will bring another sow here; this is the deposit.” Li Sanniang took out the agreed-upon silver from her purse and handed it to the old man.
The old man and the younger man bowed to Li Sanniang and then went out the door.
Dewdrop was right next to Li San Niang's legs. She looked curiously at the sow who was lying on her side on the ground and really wanted to touch her.
Even bolder than Dewdrop was Kogoro. Before Li Ersao could react, Kogoro had already approached the sow. But Baoya, quick-witted and agile, stepped forward and grabbed Kogoro's hand.
"Second brother, please build a fence around this pig so it doesn't hurt the baby."
Li Erxiong first glared at the unruly Xiao Wulang, then looked at Li Sanniang with a puzzled expression and asked, "There's still more than a month until the end of the year, is it necessary to buy pigs so early?"
And, Third Sister, this pig must have piglets, right?
Even if we have a large family, we can't possibly eat such a big sow with piglets.
What are you doing?
Seeing that the sow was already lying down eating the dry grass that Xiao Wulang had fed it, Li San Niang turned to Li Er Xiong and smiled: "Second Brother, I'm going to perform a cesarean section to remove the piglets, just to practice my skills."
It's okay, if we can't finish it, we can just give it to a relative.
Either my sister-in-law's or my second sister-in-law's will do. If all else fails, we can make it into salted meat. We certainly won't waste the meat.
Second brother, don't forget about the railing.
Before Li Erxiong could react, Li Sanniang washed her hands and then took Luzhu'er to see the pigs.
Therefore, the Li family's dinner tonight was rather strange. Everyone learned from Li Erxiong that Li Sanniang was going to practice on a sow with piglets, and was going to cut open the sow's belly to deliver the babies.
Even the old doctor Liang, who lived in the backyard next to the Li family, was somewhat amused and exasperated after hearing about this. However, afterward, the old doctor Liang said this to the young boy from Shaoyang: "Your junior sister, besides the grudges between the previous generation of our sect, I also took her in because I cherish talent. Third Sister's talent is indeed high."
But as we spent more and more time together, I grew to like her more and more.
Third Sister's spirit of not fearing difficulties and being willing to work hard for her goals is something you should learn from.
The young boy from Shaoyang nodded, knowing that his master was praising Li San Niang while also subtly instructing him.
The young boy from Shaoyang obtained his medical license through the Chang'an Medical Alliance three months ago and has been working at the clinic under the Chang'an Medical Alliance in Changshoufang for more than two months now.
Of course, the fact that the young boy from Shaoyang was placed in Changshoufang was due to Dr. Liang pulling some strings for him.
The purpose was simply to make it easier for the young boys from Shaoyang to avoid suffering on their way to duty.
The young boy from Shaoyang's medical skills are beyond question. He has been receiving one-on-one instruction from the old doctor Liang since childhood, and being a bright person, he has a natural talent for medicine.
But why is Dr. Liang using Li San Niang's actions to criticize the young boy from Shaoyang today?
This is because the young boy from Shaoyang, as a newly recruited doctor, was unable to integrate into the medical hall and get along harmoniously with the other doctors.
His dedication to medical skills even led to an argument with an elderly doctor on duty last month.
If it weren't for the fact that the head of the clinic was giving face to the old doctor Liang, the young boy from Shaoyang would probably have been sent back to the medical alliance.
Even so, the young boy from Shaoyang developed a rebellious attitude and refused to go to the clinic the next day. He said to Doctor Liang, "I don't want to go. It was clearly his deliberate attempt to prescribe that expensive medicine to make money off that person. I pointed it out. What's wrong with that?"
Do I have to apologize to him?
impossible!
"At worst, I'll just quit my job in the medical alliance, and I won't bother taking the imperial medical exam. I'll just be a traveling doctor in this marketplace."
These words infuriated the old doctor Liang, who had always placed high hopes on the young boy from Shaoyang. Pointing at the boy's thick neck, he scolded him several times, "Good, good, good, you're amazing!"
Finally, unable to bear letting Dr. Liang continue to be angry, the young boy from Shaoyang swallowed his temper and went to the clinic to apologize to the old doctor, thus being able to continue working there.
But because of what he did, the medical alliance extended his internship by six months.
From then on, the young boy from Shaoyang developed a temper, and apart from being on duty in the clinic, he wouldn't say a word to any of the other doctors.
Today, Dr. Liang used Li San Niang's experience of dealing with the problem of "not being able to bring herself to do it" to her own loved ones. She directly faced the challenge head-on and forced herself to practice on a sow so that she could overcome her "fear" and save Sister-in-law Li. This is a reminder to the young boy from Shaoyang not to get angry with himself over such a small problem.
Instead, we should learn from Li San Niang and face difficulties head-on, actively seeking solutions to problems.
Li San Niang was naturally unaware that the old doctor Liang was using her as a role model to encourage the young boy from Shaoyang to face difficulties positively. Three days later, on her ten-day rest day, she brewed a pot of anesthetic powder and fed it to the sow.
Then she specially asked Brother Li Da and Brother Li Er to tie the sow to the table that had been set up. She carefully bathed the sow, changed her into a whole set of clothes, and asked Qiu Xiang to help her. She also called Song Fuling and Linglan to perform a cesarean section on the sow.
Such a bloody scene would naturally scare children like Dewdrop and Kogoro out of their homes.
Of the people from the Li family who remained, one group stood beside Li San Niang, while another group sat not far away, watching Li San Niang's every move without blinking.
The groundbreaking cesarean section began here.
