She told her daughter to bring the food, and casually sent her son away as well. Wei's mother glanced at Sun Hao and said, "Go wash your hands quickly. After you finish eating, Mom and Shengli will accompany you to Comrade Song's house."
Mr. Wei is an eighth-grade fitter in the factory, and Ms. Wei Hongjuan is a staff member in the factory's publicity department. To put it simply, currently, only Ms. Wei is not working in the Wei family, so the Wei family's economic conditions are quite good.
So, although dinner was just porridge, I stir-fried three dishes and made a cucumber salad. Two of the stir-fried dishes were meat dishes, and the large slices of meat looked delicious.
This clearly shows that the Wei family lived a truly high standard of living!
Night had completely fallen. Song Lan and her family had finished dinner, and she watched the two little ones stroll around the yard to digest their food, then diligently wash up and go back to their room to lie obediently in bed. She praised them without reservation.
Because of her internal strength, her hearing was very sharp. Suddenly, she heard unfamiliar footsteps coming from the courtyard gate. Without thinking much, Song Lan knew that it was most likely Wei Shengli who had brought his sister and brother-in-law over.
"Your sister-in-law is busy right now. If you're tired, close your eyes and go to sleep. If you're not tired, you can play by yourself in bed for a while."
Song Lan was in the little girl's room at the moment. When she heard what the little girl said, she blinked her eyes and said in a soft and cute voice, "...Sister-in-law, go ahead and do your work. Little Six is going to sleep!"
"I hope our little sixth child has sweet dreams tonight!"
With a smile in her eyes, Song Lan spoke and turned to leave.
She casually pulled the door shut. On the bed, the little girl's lips twitched slightly, and she whispered, "Goodnight, sister-in-law!" Then she obediently closed her eyes.
"Comrade Song!"
Upon seeing Song Lan, Wei Shengli called out to her.
"They're here."
With a smile, Song Lan invited the person into the living room to sit down.
"This is my mom, and these two are my sister and brother-in-law."
Wei Shengli introduced his elderly mother and sister and brother-in-law to Song Lan. Then, he said to the three of them, "Mom, sister, brother-in-law, this is Comrade Song whom I mentioned to you."
The three of them greeted Song Lan with smiles in unison. Song Lan smiled back and said, "It's already 8:30, so let's not waste any more time. I'll take Sister Wei's pulse now."
Out of politeness, and considering that Wei Hongjuan was Wei Shengli's sister, Song Lan directly addressed her as "Sister Wei".
As time ticked by, Song Lan finished taking Wei Hongjuan's pulse without saying anything. Instead, she took Sun Hao's pulse. When she finally withdrew her hand, she said to the group with a serious expression, "Sister Wei has been taking a lot of medicine in recent years, hasn't she?"
Wei Hongjuan nodded: "I've tried both Western and Chinese medicine." She's also used many folk remedies, but her belly just won't cooperate, and she still hasn't gotten pregnant.
"Every medicine has its side effects. Sister Wei originally suffered from uterine coldness and a bit of dampness, but she took medication improperly for a long time..."
Song Lan tried her best to explain things in simple terms so that Wei Hongjuan and the others could understand. They learned that the excessive medication she had taken had not only failed to cure her original illness but had also accumulated a lot of toxins in her body. Although these toxins were not fatal, they affected her ability to conceive, which was why she had not received any good news for many years after her marriage.
As soon as Song Lan finished speaking, Wei Hongjuan felt as if she had found a savior. Her eyes welled up with tears, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Comrade Song, do you think my illness can be cured? Is there any chance I can still get pregnant?"
"I can cure you. Once the toxins accumulated in your body are eliminated and you are fully recovered, you will naturally be able to conceive."
Song Lan spoke slowly, and upon hearing this, Wei Hongjuan was extremely excited and asked, "Given my current condition, when will I be able to recover?"
"It will take at least a month. I need to give you several acupuncture treatments, combined with herbal medicine, and you also need to pay attention to managing your emotions in your daily life. There shouldn't be any problem with you recovering your health. However..."
Upon hearing Song Lan's words, including Wei's mother and Wei Shengli, everyone present felt a pang of anxiety. At that moment, Song Lan glanced at Wei Hongjuan's husband and said:
"Your husband has kidney deficiency and weakness... In short, you both have health problems. Although these problems are not very serious, they have clearly prevented you from having your own child for many years."
"I wonder if Comrade Song can cure my illness?"
Sun Hao disregarded his dignity as a man. In order to have his own child and not divorce his wife, his gaze towards Song Lan was filled with seriousness and hope.
"Yes. Your problem will gradually improve with acupuncture and herbal medicine."
At this point, Song Lan turned her gaze to Wei Hongjuan: "By the way, during the time I administer acupuncture and you take the medicine, you must pay attention to the following points..."
After explaining the precautions in detail, Song Lan pondered for a moment, then took out paper and pen from under the coffee table and quickly wrote out two prescriptions, one for Wei Hongjuan and the other for Wei Hongjuan's husband. She concluded by saying, "Get the medicine according to these two prescriptions. I've marked how many doses are needed… You must avoid certain foods, and you must not have sexual intercourse during treatment…"
She went on and on, giving Wei Hongjuan several more instructions, including telling her when to come for acupuncture twice a week. This touched Wei Hongjuan and her husband deeply, and they thanked Song Lan repeatedly.
Mother Wei was so happy that she kept wiping her eyes, and like Wei Shengli, she thanked Song Lan again and again.
"That's settled then, see you tomorrow."
It was almost nine o'clock. Song Lan had said everything she needed to say. Considering it was already late, she didn't plan to keep them any longer. Besides, there was no point in keeping them there any longer.
The light is insufficient at night. Even with electric lights, the light is still not comparable to that during the day. In order to avoid any mishaps, Song Lan believes that it is safer to perform acupuncture during the day.
Wei Hongjuan and her husband nodded, and stood up with Wei's mother and Wei Shengli. As they left the living room, the four of them repeatedly thanked Song Lan, which made Song Lan feel helpless. She said many times, "You don't need to be so polite."
"Comrade Song, you're taking on too much work for yourself again. Isn't that too tiring?"
After seeing Wei Shengli and the other three off at the gate and watching them leave, Song Lan turned her gaze back to the living room. Unexpectedly, she heard Wu Dong's voice coming from the other side.
"Comrade Wu is still awake!"
Song Lan smiled and said softly, "It's not that I want to take on extra work for myself, it's that my colleagues at work asked me for help, I can't just refuse, can I? Besides, I'm only doing what I can. If I can't treat it, I will naturally tell them the truth."
As for whether I'll be too tired, to be honest, it's just taking pulses, writing prescriptions, and maybe administering acupuncture. It's not heavy or strenuous work, and people don't come to me every day, so it really won't tire me out much.
"Yes, treating patients isn't heavy or strenuous work, but it's mentally and physically exhausting. Are you sure you can handle it?"
Wu Dong meant well. In his opinion, Song Lan really didn't need to take on any trouble for him. After all, the factory had a staff hospital, and even if the factory hospital couldn't cure her, there were county hospitals, city hospitals, and so on. In short, there were many large hospitals across the country. If people came to Song Lan for treatment and really wanted to get better, they could go to a large hospital for diagnosis and treatment.
