Chapter 159 Regret
To prove that what he said was true, Zhuang Qingning showed the small porcelain bottle in his hand: "Here, this is it, it's empty."
Doctor Shi picked up the small porcelain bottle and looked at it carefully. It was indeed empty. Even when he put it under his nose and sniffed it again and again, he could not smell what medicinal ingredients it was. He had no choice but to return the porcelain bottle to Zhuang Qingning, then he sighed.
"Ah, if that's the case, it's such a pity. I was thinking that if there was any good prescription, it would allow me to have an extra prescription when curing illnesses and saving lives, which would be considered a good deed."
"What a pity, what a pity..."
Doctor Shi shook his head repeatedly, looking very regretful.
Zhuang Qingning also shrugged helplessly.
It’s not that she is stingy, but the things she got from the system can only be used by herself, so there is nothing she can do about it.
"It's a pity indeed." Zhuang Qingning sighed and continued, "But I heard from my parents before that for people with high fever, in addition to taking medicine, they can mix wine with warm water, soak a towel in it, and then wipe the sides of the neck, armpits, thighs, etc."
"This wine can activate blood circulation and is very volatile. If you rub it on a few places where the veins are unobstructed, it can help dissipate some of the heat in your body so that you don't feel as uncomfortable as if you had a fever. If there are no other antipyretic drugs available for the time being, using this method to relieve the pain is good."
"But this wine cannot be used directly on the skin. It must be diluted with warm water. For elderly people and children, more water should be added to avoid other problems caused by the strong wine."
"Well, this method is indeed good." Doctor Shi nodded: "I have learned a lot today. Thank you for your advice, young lady."
"What doctors do is to cure illnesses and save lives, and to accumulate virtue and blessings. In front of Doctor Shi, I will naturally tell him everything I know. If I can help others, it will also be considered as accumulating some virtue for myself."
Zhuang Qingning smiled and picked up the purse: "I can't give you this prescription. You still have to accept the doctor's diagnosis. What do you think..."
"No need, no need." Doctor Shi waved his hands repeatedly: "Originally, it wasn't much money, but I learned a way to reduce fever from you, young lady, which is enough."
In short, he refused to accept it no matter what.
Seeing this, Zhuang Qingning no longer insisted and took some leftover dried tofu from the tofu shop that he used to cook at home and wrapped it up for Doctor Shi: "This is my own dried tofu. If you don't mind, you can take it back and have a taste."
We don’t accept money, but we can accept things.
Especially when he smelled the fragrant dried tofu, Doctor Shi no longer refused. He just put the dried tofu away, reminded the doctor of some things that need to be paid attention to while recuperating, and left after preparing the prescription.
Zhuang Qingning was holding the prescription, thinking about how to go to the town to get the medicine. The brothers Zhuang Yutian and Zhuang Yucheng happened to come back with their wives and children. Seeing Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Yonghe standing in the yard, they came over to greet them with a smile.
"Ning girl."
Zhuang Yucheng, in particular, had a smile on his face: "Have you finished your work at the tofu shop? If you need a hand, just let me know."
Zhuang Qingning lowered his hand holding the recipe and said, "The tofu shop doesn't need the help of the two uncles, but..."
"My aunt was sick last night. She had a high fever, which subsided in the second half of the night. The doctor just came to see her and said that she was angry and had a heart attack. Here is the prescription I have prepared. Take it and go get the medicine quickly, uncles."
Wen is ill.
And I was still mad at them.
The brothers Zhuang Yutian and Zhuang Yucheng were so ashamed that they wished they could find a hole to crawl into.
"I really don't know what's going on. With Lao Ning taking care of her here, we two brothers will go and take a look right away."
Zhuang Yucheng thanked Zhuang Qingning, took his wife and children, and hurried into the house to see Wen.
Zhuang Yutian first asked his wife to take the child in to see Mrs. Wen, and he took the prescription from Zhuang Qingning and said, "Thank you so much, Miss Ning, for taking care of me here."
The high fever that started last night only subsided in the second half of the night. Zhuang Qingning must have been taking care of him here all night, as there was a blue spot under his eyes.
He just rented the tofu shop here, but he took such good care of Wen, which is really rare.
Zhuang Yutian had more and more admiration for Zhuang Qingning.
"Uncle Yutian, you're too polite." Zhuang Qingning smiled and said, "It was because of my aunt that she took care of my two sisters that she rented the tofu shop to us, which gave us a living. It's my duty to take care of my aunt. Uncle Yutian, don't take it to heart."
"This prescription was just written by the doctor. He said that you should follow the prescription and drink it for three or four days. It should be boiled thick and drunk half an hour after a meal. You need to rest and recuperate, and avoid spicy and irritating things. Uncle Yutian needs to take good care of my aunt these days."
"Yes, we must take good care of it."
Zhuang Yutian agreed repeatedly, but then he thought that Wen's illness was caused by the anger she caused by her two biological sons, and he felt even more ashamed on his face.
"Leave this place to us, don't worry, Ning girl. You must have been very tired last night, so go back and have a rest."
"Then Qingsui and I will go back first. Uncle Yutian should also tell his aunt-in-law."
After saying that, sisters Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui went back home, while Zhuang Yonghe hurriedly started selling tofu and dried tofu along the street.
The brothers Zhuang Yutian and Zhuang Yucheng hurriedly took care of Wen while going to the town to get and boil medicine.
Mrs. Wen was not feeling well at the moment and felt very tired. Although she disliked the brothers Zhuang Yutian and Zhuang Yucheng very much, she really did not have the heart to argue with them at the moment. Besides, with her well-behaved and sensible daughter-in-law and lively and noisy grandchildren surrounding her, she felt a little relieved and did not bother to say anything to them.
The two brothers also knew the reason behind this and did not mention what happened yesterday. They just hurriedly made arrangements to stay up late and buy some supplements.
"Mom, what do you want to eat in the morning? I'll make it for you." said the eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Meng.
"I just ate half a bowl of tofu pudding, so I'm not hungry now. Let's cook at noon." Mrs. Wen said.
"Mom, have you eaten?" Meng was a little surprised.
"I'm not lying to you. I really ate it." Wen nodded. Seeing Meng's surprised expression, she felt strange: "Why do you ask?"
"It's nothing. I just saw a bowl of tofu pudding warming in the stove, and thought it was prepared for mother. I said that tofu pudding alone would be tasteless, so I asked mother what she wanted to eat so that I could make it for her. Since mother has already eaten, you should listen to her and cook for her at noon." Meng said with a smile.
Wen's face suddenly darkened.
There was also a bowl of tofu pudding on the stove, and that bowl should be Zhuang Qingning's.
