Chapter 291 Bloodletting
Song Yuntang waited at the intersection until Song Jinsheng came back before getting on the mule cart to go home.
On the way, she asked Song Jinsheng.
"Second brother, Mu Qiu took you to buy gifts last time. Did you return the favor?"
Song Jinsheng shook his head and said, "Not yet. It's only a few days until my mother's birthday. I just can't find a chance."
Song Yuntang rolled his eyes.
Originally, he saw that Mu Qiu was interested in him and wanted to create opportunities for the two of them. However, Mu Qiu was a shy girl and his second brother was so dull. By the time they were together, they would probably have to wait until their hair turned white.
"When I saw Mu Qiu today, she didn't seem very happy."
Song Jinsheng was a little stunned when he suddenly heard Song Yuntang say this.
"Is it because I didn't return the favor?"
Song Yuntang said calmly, "No."
"Why is that?" Song Jinsheng wondered.
"Mu Qiu will be sixteen next month, and her mother plans to find someone to arrange a marriage for her." As she said this, she lifted the car curtain and looked at Song Jinsheng's reaction.
But he didn't react at all!
"Talking about marriage..." Song Jinsheng said hesitantly, "This is a good thing, why are you not happy?"
Song Yuntang took a deep breath and lowered the curtain.
"nothing."
This can't go on.
If the second brother doesn't come to his senses, by the time Mu Qiu's children are grown up, he will still be a bachelor.
She had to be direct.
After going to town tomorrow, I have to go to Mu Qiu's house to find out what Cui has to say.
If she is willing, let's settle the marriage first.
As for getting married, Mu Qiu is still young, so give the two of them some time to develop their feelings. It won’t be too late next year or the year after.
"Brother, do you want to get married?"
Song Jinsheng grinned with his teeth bared, looking heartless, "What you said, who wouldn't be happy to get married? But there's no need to be too anxious."
"If you meet a good girl, would you be willing to settle down first?" she asked again.
Song Jinsheng did not hesitate.
"I am willing. It's not easy to meet a good girl." He turned and looked in the direction of the mule cart. "Sister, have you found a good girl for me?"
Song Yuntang stroked his chin.
"There is such a girl, pretty, petite, filial and sensible, capable, able to make money, and a girl from town, but younger than my second brother. I may have to wait for a year or two. I wonder if my second brother is willing to do that?"
She thought that by saying this, Song Jinsheng would think of Mu Qiu.
But he didn't seem to be aware of this.
"It's no problem to wait for one or two years, as long as he can live a good life."
"Then I'll go to the girl's house tomorrow to ask what her elders think?" Song Yuntang asked tentatively.
"Okay." Song Jinsheng agreed directly.
Song Yuntang raised his eyebrows.
"Don't you plan to meet that girl, brother?"
Song Jinsheng said heartlessly, "My elder brother and his wife had never met before they got married. I'm afraid that if I get scared, I'll embarrass my younger sister. I believe in your judgment. The girl you choose must be good."
Song Yuntang suddenly realized that there were differences in the concepts between her, a time traveler, and her second brother who was born and raised in this place.
His thinking is deeply rooted.
But since he said so, she didn't want to change anything. She would go to his house tomorrow with gifts to ask Cui's opinion. If there was no problem, she would arrange the marriage first.
It can be considered as fulfilling a wish before going to the county town.
It seemed that Cui was about to arrange a marriage for Mu Qiu. If this arrangement really went through, when she came back one day, Mu Qiu might already be married.
She finally met a girl who had her second brother in her heart, she couldn't lose her.
…
Song Jinsheng sent Song Yuntang back to Xu's house, and agreed to ask Tu Shi to pick her up the next day, and then he went back to the farm first.
After a day of running around, Song Yuntang was very tired. After dinner, he went out to digest the food and went to see Xu Guixi's leg. After coming back to wash up, he wanted to lie down in the house, but he heard a voice coming from outside.
"Sister Jiang, is your daughter-in-law home now?"
Jiang hurried to open the gate.
"At home, what's wrong?"
The woman was holding a child, looking extremely anxious. She cried and said, "My grandson has caught a cold and had a fever these days. I asked a doctor to see him, but he didn't get better. Today, he suddenly had convulsions while he was having a fever. There is no doctor in our village. I am afraid it will be too late if I take the child to town. I want to ask Qingye's wife to check on my grandson."
Hearing the noise, Song Yuntang, who was about to lie down on the bed, got up and went outside.
"Bring the child into the living room, I'll take a look at him."
Behind the woman was a young daughter-in-law, who looked worriedly at the child, who was only two or three years old, in her mother-in-law's arms.
Song Yuntang put three benches together in advance and asked the woman to put the child on the bench with his head tilted to one side.
"Mom, please prepare some warm water and a clean towel for me."
"Wencheng, go get the herbs. Honeysuckle, forsythia, mint, burdock, licorice, Uncaria rhynchophylla, chrysanthemum..."
She recited a bunch of medicine names in succession.
While Xu Wencheng was reciting silently in his heart, he ran to look for medicine among the herbs collected by Song Yuntang. If he encountered something he couldn't remember, he would ask Song Yuntang.
Fortunately, she usually has the habit of collecting commonly used medicines. Even if they are not available in the mountains, she will buy some from the town.
Song Yuntang took out a silver needle, pricked the tip of the child's ear, and squeezed out four or five drops of blood.
When the woman and the young daughter-in-law nearby saw this, they reached out to stop it.
"What are you doing? We asked you to treat my grandson, why are you stabbing him with a needle? You are abusing the child!"
Just then, Jiang brought over some water. She quickly put the basin aside and reached out to stop the two men.
"Don't worry, Tang'er won't do anything rash. She must have her reasons for doing this."
Song Yuntang said coldly while bleeding the child, "Bleeding is to cool him down quickly. If you don't want your grandson to be burned stupid, you can stop it."
After hearing this, the two of them stopped what they were doing even though they were extremely heartbroken.
"You'd better treat him. If anything happens to my grandson, I will not live anymore." The woman said crying.
Jiang was somewhat displeased.
"Since you brought the child here, it means you have heard of my daughter-in-law's medical skills. If you don't believe in her, why don't you bring the child here in the first place? We don't have to get involved in this mess!"
After hearing this, the two men knew they were not right and stopped talking.
After Song Yuntang bled the child, he inserted a silver needle shallowly into his philtrum and gently twisted it to stimulate it. In a short while, the child woke up.
"First, wipe the child's whole body with warm water. Go back and boil the medicine Wencheng just prepared and feed it to him. The temperature should be completely reduced. You have to pay more attention to the child's temperature at night. The fever may recur. Just wipe the child with warm water in time to reduce the temperature. If you can't solve it, come to me again."
