Chapter 39 Asking for Advice
After the onlookers left, Qiao Er looked at his parents.
"When Song Yuntang came to our house just now, I thought she was here to cause trouble and almost chased her away. Should I take something to apologize to her?"
Qiao Er's wife glanced at him and said, "She told you to be so fierce? Luckily she is generous. If she really had a problem with you and refused to treat Dad, you would have cried."
Qiao Er scratched his head.
"I don't know either. How would I know she was so capable?"
Uncle Qiao looked at the two of them and said, "It's one thing for them to be magnanimous, but since they did something rude, an apology is necessary."
Song Zhi nodded and looked at her eldest daughter-in-law.
"Sun, take five eggs to the third sister's house and say they are for Liu's health. Your father is able to stand up today because of the loyalty of the third sister's daughter. Otherwise, she could have stayed out of this matter."
"Okay." Sun nodded and turned to go to the kitchen to get eggs.
Song continued to instruct, "Qiao Da, you should hurry to the town to get medicine. Your father's illness cannot be delayed. The sooner he takes the medicine, the sooner he will get better. By the way, buy some food as Tang Er ordered."
Qiao Da nodded, "Okay, I'll go right away."
…
Li Dahai followed Song Yuntang all the way to the Song family.
Although his name is Dahei, he is a kind person.
Zhao was quite surprised when she saw him. She put down her sewing basket and went out of the house. "Ah! Doctor Li, what brings you to my house today?"
Li Dahei smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I came to ask Miss Song for some medical advice."
Zhao Qiao'e was quite surprised when she heard the word "ask for advice".
"My Tang'er is just a half-baked person. Doctor Li's words of asking for advice really embarrass her."
Li Dahei waved his hand and said, "If Miss Song is a half-baked person, then I am not even a half-baked person. If Miss Song hadn't been here today, Mr. Qiao would still be paralyzed in bed."
Zhao Qiao'e was surprised and asked, "So Mr. Qiao can get out of bed now?"
Li Dahei nodded, "Miss Song's acupuncture skills are superb. After removing the silver needles, Mr. Qiao can get out of bed."
Zhao Qiao'e looked in the direction of Song Yuntang with disbelief on her face. The expression on the girl's face was still calm, without any sign of pride or complacency.
In my impression, my daughter is serious but not as calm as this.
Could it be that after experiencing life and death, even his temperament has changed?
In the room, when Liu heard what Doctor Li said, she was also shocked.
It turns out that Tang'er is so capable. She had previously doubted the pregnancy-preserving medicine prescribed by Tang'er for her under Tian's instigation.
She can even cure paralyzed people, so pregnancy-maintaining drugs are just a piece of cake for her, right?
Zhao Qiao'e smiled and invited Li Dahei into the yard, "Tang'er, take Doctor Li to the main hall and sit down. Mother will go and pour you two cups of tea."
"Okay." Song Yuntang led Li Dahei into the main hall, "Doctor Li, please sit down first. I'll go get the meridian map."
Li Dahei said hurriedly, "Okay."
He waited until Song Yuntang left the main room before he sat down with a look of panic on his face. When he saw her come in, he quickly stood up again.
Song Yuntang placed the human meridian map he had drawn earlier on the table.
"Doctor Li, please review it."
As he said this, he sat down on the other side of the table. Seeing this, Li Dahei sat down again.
At this time, Zhao Qiao'e had already come to the two of them with two cups of tea.
"Doctor Li, have a cup of tea first."
Li Dahei took the teacup and said, "Thank you."
After taking a big sip, he put the teacup aside and looked at the meridian map on the table carefully.
The more I look at it, the more frightened I become.
Song Yuntang didn't urge him. He just held the teacup in his hand and drank it slowly.
After a moment, Li Dahei raised his head in disbelief, pointed at the meridian map in his hand and asked, "Miss Song, are you sure this meridian map is correct?"
"I can draw this kind of meridian map with my eyes closed, so it can't be wrong." Song Yuntang put down the teacup, took the meridian map in his hand and shook it, "I also said on the way just now that I can give you this meridian map without charging you any money. As for the things I want..."
Li Dahei nodded, "No problem, don't worry, young lady, I will get the things you want as soon as possible."
Song Yuntang curled his lips and handed him the meridian map, "It's a deal."
"Thank you." Li Dahei took the blueprint respectfully, stood up and put the medicine box on his back, "I am a foreign man, it is inconvenient for me to stay at home for a long time, so I will take my leave first."
Song Yuntang nodded calmly, "Goodbye, I won't see you off."
Even though she didn't want to see him off, Zhao Qiao'e still got up. She saw him out of the yard, closed the door and came to Song Yuntang's side.
"Tang'er, what was that riddle you were playing with Doctor Li just now?"
Song Yuntang didn't want to answer, "Mom will know when the time comes."
Zhao Qiao'e was full of curiosity, "Did you really cure Mr. Qiao?"
Song Yuntang glanced in her direction and said, "If you don't believe me, you can go outside and ask around."
Zhao Qiao'e hurriedly explained, "I didn't disbelieve you. I was just surprised. After all, you never told me that you knew medical skills."
Song Yuntang took over her words, "I never said I couldn't."
After hearing this, Zhao Qiao'e felt relieved. What does it matter if it happens or not? After all, she is my own daughter, and this can never be wrong.
Her expression softened. "Tang'er is capable, and I am happy. Even if you get married in the future, I won't worry that you will starve. I will continue to embroider the handkerchief, and you can go back to your room and have a rest."
Song Yuntang put down the cup in his hand and looked at Zhao Qiao'e's back.
I had thought before that I would leave this family once I had enough money, but now I haven’t made much money, and the bond is getting deeper and deeper.
…
Song Jinsheng arrived home just after noon.
The weather was too hot. Over the course of a whole day and night, the sweat on my body dried up and then got wet again, and it already smelled bad.
As soon as he got home, Zhao urged him to wash up first.
Seeing that Song Jinsheng had washed up and changed into clean clothes, Zhao gathered the whole family in the main room while Song Jinbao and Song Jinyuan had not yet gone to work in the fields.
"Jinsheng, tell me, how did your inquiry in Dongming Village go?" Zhao Qiao'e asked.
Song Jinsheng poured himself a glass of water and took a sip. "I arrived at Dongming Village yesterday at noon. I had never been there before, so I asked around."
"Look at the houses in Dongming Village. They are indeed better than those in Rongshu Village. I also asked a few villagers about it. They all said that Wu Wei is an honest man. The Wu family has a good family tradition and there has never been any rumor about the mother-in-law oppressing her daughter-in-law."
"Besides that, I also found the guy named Wu Wei yesterday afternoon. He was working in the fields at that time. I didn't show up, but just hid in the dark and observed him for a long time. He was quiet, hardworking, and did farm work meticulously. Anyway, he seems to be doing well so far."
It just feels a bit too far.
If my sister really marries into Dongming Village, I will have to make a great effort to see her in the future.
