They are all in the same team, and Qiao's mother has watched Wu Xiaoqiu grow up, so she knows Wu Xiaoqiu's temper very well.
This girl has a good temper and is not as domineering as her mother. If she were domineering, she would not be unable to make her own decisions in marriage.
Everyone knows that Wu Xiaoqiu's sister, Wu Xiaochun, also married out of exchange, but she didn't live a good life and often came back injured. However, no one in the Wu family could stand up for the eldest daughter. If Wu Xiaoqiu had been even luckier, she might have repeated her sister's path.
Qiao's mother invited Wu Xiaoqiu in to sit down. "You know that our family doesn't have a good relationship with yours. If you encounter difficulties in getting married, we can't help you..."
Wu Xiaoqiu quickly said: "No, no, no, I'm not here for myself, I'm here for my eldest niece..."
"Your eldest niece?"
"Um!"
Wu Xiaoqiu called out, and her eldest niece Wu Pandi came in timidly. She looked about twelve or thirteen years old, and was very thin and frail. Qiao Zhiyi noticed that the girl had a pale face, was bent over, and had her hands on her stomach. It was obvious that she was not feeling well.
Wu Xiaoqiu went to help his eldest niece in.
The little girl is thirteen years old this year. She suffers from severe dysmenorrhea. She can't help but feel nauseous and vomit every time her period comes. She even fainted last night. However, her family favors boys over girls, and no one really cares about Wu Pandidi's dysmenorrhea. Only her aunt Wu Xiaoqiu cares about her.
Because since her eldest niece was born, she, the younger aunt, has taken care of her more. Now she is going to get married soon and will not be able to take care of her eldest niece anymore. She heard that the daughter adopted by the Qiao family is very skilled in medicine and is a college student. She thinks that such a person must be more capable than ordinary doctors.
I had originally planned to come and take a look this morning, but I had no idea that there would be trouble between my mother and the Qiao family.
Wu Xiaoqiu almost gave up, but when she saw her eldest niece lying in pain on the bed, she secretly brought her eldest niece to see him without telling her family.
"My eldest niece got this disease this year. Every time it comes, she's in excruciating pain. I went to see a barefoot doctor, who gave me painkillers. They worked at first, but then they became less and less effective..."
Wu Xiaoqiu looked unsure and spoke haltingly, taking a long time to finish her description. Qiao's mother asked Wu Pandi to sit down and take it easy.
Qiao Zhiyi was listening patiently when she suddenly noticed a familiar figure outside the house. She hurried out to take a look and saw Qu Rucui leaving stealthily.
After thinking for a while with his eyes lowered, Qiao Zhiyi curled his lips and sneered.
She walked back into the room. Everyone else was surprised. Qiao Zhiyi asked Wu Xiaoqiu calmly, "Your niece has such severe dysmenorrhea. Do you have this problem?"
"Me?" Wu Xiaoqiu said, "I don't have it, but my eldest niece's mother has this problem..."
Qiao Zhiyi nodded.
"Having this disease is really painful. I know many girls have this problem..."
Qiao Zhiyi took Wu Xiaoqiu's niece Wu Pandi's pulse and checked her tongue. He then carefully observed Wu Pandi's face, which was pale with pain, with cold sweats pouring out, and her voice was weak. So he said to Wu Pandi, "I'll give you a few injections to relieve your pain first..."
Wu Xiaoqiu is very grateful.
She thought she would have to wait for a while, but she didn't expect Qiao Zhiyi to treat her so readily.
Qiao Zhiyi went to the back of the hall to give her acupuncture to prevent the man from coming back suddenly and witnessing this embarrassing scene.
Tangtang and Qiqi were still eating grass jelly. They were no longer surprised by acupuncture and had no interest in it at all. Qiao's mother, Sister-in-law Qiao, and Wu Xiaoqiu went to take a look behind the hall.
First, the needle was inserted into Sanyinjiao. Qiao Zhiyi used a strong stimulation method, causing Wu Pandi to cry out in pain. Qiao Zhiyi continued to twist the needle for a minute or two, "Bear with it for a while..."
Wu Pandi bit her lip.
When Qiao Zhiyi withdrew the needle, Wu Pandi felt a slight relief and the pain in her abdomen significantly subsided. She said to Wu Xiaoqiu, "Aunt, I feel much better..."
Wu Xiaoqiu was overjoyed and thanked Qiao Zhiyi repeatedly. Qiao Zhiyi waved his hand and then taught Wu Pandi some massage techniques, "When you go back, massage these acupuncture points on your stomach frequently..."
Qiao Zhiyi fetched the brush his father usually used, dipped it in a little ink, and marked the acupuncture points on Wu Pandi's body. "This is Zhongji, Qihai, and Guanyuan... Focus on these three points each time and massage them for ten to fifteen minutes each time..."
Wu Pandi nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, sister."
Wu Xiaoqiu asked: "Doctor Qiao, does my niece need to take medicine?"
"Yes!" Qiao Zhiyi went to write her a prescription. "Her condition requires regulating Qi and activating blood circulation, a two-pronged approach to treatment. You can follow this prescription and get medicine from a barefoot doctor, or you can go to Yanghetang in the commune..."
"It must be quite a bit of money..." said Wu Xiaoqiu.
"Yes, we need some money." This is all Qiao Zhiyi could tell her.
She knew the plight of these poor and lower-middle peasants. Many of them could hardly even get enough to eat, let alone anything else...
But Qiao Zhiyi himself is not a wealthy man, nor does he have the ability to do charity, so he cannot help them with their financial difficulties. They have to find a solution themselves.
Seeing that his niece's condition had improved, Wu Xiaoqiu wanted to pay Qiao Zhiyi's medical expenses first. Qiao Zhiyi shook his head and said, "I've been seeing you for free these days. No charge. Use this money to buy medicine..."
Wu Xiaoqiu felt embarrassed. She had heard that many people who came to see the doctor were given free gifts such as egg noodles and some even fish. She didn't want to take advantage of them.
Especially now that the relationship between the two families is so tense, the other party is still willing to help. It is really a great favor. She must give the money.
