"Liu Qing's family, it seems that the third uncle in front is not doing well. The village chief is asking if you know how to treat people?"
Despite the commotion, Third Grandma finally decided to invite Lin Xue to come and take a look.
The old man has lived to such an old age, it's not a pity if he dies, but if he can live, who would want to die?
If the old man really dies, then she won't be able to live either.
The elderly couple had supported and understood each other throughout their lives, and even in their final moments, they didn't want to separate.
"You do know how to spot some simple minor ailments. I'll go take a look!"
Lin Xue was almost asleep when she was woken up. Before she could even get angry, she heard the news that her third uncle was dying.
"Wife, you're pregnant!"
Liu Qing was not happy for his wife to treat his third uncle's illness. His third uncle was so old that he would probably die of old age.
We mustn't disturb the baby in my wife's belly.
"It's okay, I'm brave!"
Lin Xue comforted Liu Qing, then took a cloth bag from the oxcart and went to the front.
"Honey, what are you carrying? Let me help you carry it!"
Liu Qing supported his wife, worried that the darkness would frighten the baby in her womb.
The two quickly arrived at their third uncle's place, and Old Man Liu, having heard the commotion, followed them over.
They arrived in front of Third Uncle one after the other. Lin Xue told them not to crowd around him, so that Third Uncle could breathe properly.
After carefully examining the old man, he finally took the bundle from Liu Qing's hands.
He took out a roll of silver needles from it.
"Third Uncle is still half asleep. Old people sometimes fall asleep and don't wake up. If we don't wake him up in time, he might never wake up again!"
Lin Xue took out a silver needle and heated it over a fire before inserting it.
"Liu Qing's family, we understand what you're saying, but we've tried many methods and still can't wake the old man up!"
The philtrum under Third Uncle's nose had been pinched until it was red, but it was no use.
The old village chief was somewhat skeptical of Lin Xue's skills; she was giving people acupuncture right off the bat, and he wondered if she was reliable at all.
But now that the silver needles had already been inserted into his body, it was too late to say anything, so he simply didn't try to stop them.
"Phew~"
Not long after the silver needles were inserted, Third Uncle began to breathe heavily, as if he were having a nightmare.
The next second, his eyes widened and he sat up.
"Oh my god..."
"Cough cough cough~"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
The moment the old man opened his eyes, he broke out in a sweat from breathing heavily.
"Go and bring some hot water for Third Uncle. I have some ginseng slices here. Soak one slice in the water for Third Uncle to drink every day."
Lin Xue pulled out a small handful of ginseng slices from the cloth bag. These ginseng slices were not very old, so they were not particularly nourishing.
It's perfect for the elderly to use for health preservation and prolonging their lives.
"Liu Qing's wife, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, I don't know if my husband would have woken up!"
Seeing that the old man had finally woken up, Third Grandma wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and finally smiled.
"Liu Qing, if your family ever needs anything in the future, you can come to me. We will never refuse to help if we can!"
The eldest son of the third uncle also stepped forward and spoke.
He didn't want to have too much contact with Lin Xue, a woman, but he had no such reservations with Liu Qing, a younger man.
"You're too kind, it was just a small favor."
“We’re all from the same village, it’s not hard to lend a hand, there’s no need to feel embarrassed.”
"I'll skip the consultation fee, but who's going to pay for these ginseng slices?"
The people in front were getting emotional when they heard Lin Xue's words and they were all stunned.
"Cough cough cough, wife!"
Even Liu Qing, who is usually stingy, tugged at Lin Xue's arm a little embarrassedly.
"Haha, of course, of course!"
“We didn’t have anything good on the way to escape the famine. I have a few pounds of rice here. Liu Qing’s family can take it back first. We will definitely make up for the lack of money for medicine after we settle down.”
Amidst the varied gazes of the others, Third Grandmother smiled and handed a bag of grain to Lin Xue.
She thought this was the best way, so she wouldn't owe anyone favors.
"Thank you so much, Third Grandma! From now on, anyone who has a headache, fever, or feels unwell can come to me!"
"However, I am currently pregnant and should not overexert myself, so I may need to charge a small nutrition fee!"
Those who were initially unhappy changed their minds when they heard Lin Xue say she was pregnant.
The woman is newly pregnant; it's already a huge favor that she's willing to come out and treat patients.
If this leads to illness and the baby in the womb is lost, that would be a terrible sin.
At this point, no one thought that Lin Xue asking for things was excessive.
After all, compared to the life or death of others, the child in one's own womb is one's own flesh and blood.
After the matter was resolved, Lin Xue was helped back by Liu Qing.
"Xiuhe, your family has really married a good daughter-in-law!"
"With this skill, your third son's family will be able to make a living!"
After a while, Third Uncle finally came to his senses.
The thought that he had almost died in his sleep filled Third Uncle with lingering fear.
That was close...
"Sigh, only our third son is lucky to have married such a good daughter-in-law!"
“My third son’s wife is good in every way. She is warm and kind, but she is a little too family-oriented.”
