Chapter 395: No Brother, No Dog, Running Away from Home
The girl chuckled.
"My name is Li Shengnan." She pointed into the alley, "I live in the small courtyard on the left at the end of the alley. I am half a neighbor of Dr. Song."
Her parents thought they would never be able to have children in this life, but they found out they were pregnant at the 28th, and gave birth to her at the 29th.
They also felt that they were too old at the time and would not have any more children after giving birth to her, so they named her Li Shengnan. They had always raised her as a boy. After she gave birth to her younger brother at the age of eight, they let her dress like a girl again and changed Li Shengnan's name to Li Shengnan.
Almost everyone in Liuqiao Street has heard of Song Yuntang's reputation.
Li Shengnan naturally admired the young female doctor in front of him.
Song Yuntang looked at her, "Why are you in such a hurry? What are you going to do?"
Li Shengnan uttered a sound.
"My mother asked me to scoop a small bowl of rice for her to make porridge, but I accidentally knocked it over in the yard, breaking the bowl and eating the rice. My brother happened to be out with his dog to play with Xiaozao next door, and Doctor Song knew how high the grain price was. So I had no choice but to come out and hide from the punishment."
She said this and scratched her head embarrassedly.
Song Yuntang was puzzled.
"The rice spilled, what does that have to do with your brother and the dog?"
Li Shengnan approached Song Yuntang slyly, "Hasn't Doctor Song ever heard this?"
She said with great joy, "After getting into trouble, if you have a brother, blame him; if you don't have a brother, blame the dog; if you don't have a brother, blame the dog. If you don't have a brother, blame the dog. Then run away from home. Now my brother and my dog are not at home. If I don't leave, I will just be beaten."
Song Yuntang pulled the corners of his lips.
"Is this what your parents taught you?"
Li Shengnan waved his hand.
"That's not the case. My parents always say that a good son is born under the stick. I have been begging for so many years under my mother's hand. I must have some survival experience, right?"
Although their parents would not beat them to a disability, they would still suffer pain.
Song Yuntang nodded.
"It seems your brother is in a miserable state."
Just then, Su's roar was heard from the end of the alley.
"Li Shengnan, where have you been, you little bitch? I asked you to scoop a bowl of rice for me, but you dropped the bowl. Are you going to make a scene?"
When Li Shengnan heard this, he immediately became alert.
"I don't know if he is miserable or not. If I don't run away, he will definitely die miserably. I am leaving, Doctor Song. See you later."
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared in an instant.
Looking at the girl's receding back, Song Yuntang couldn't help but smile.
"This girl is quite interesting."
Nian'er at the side was still thinking about what Li Shengnan had just said, "If you have a brother, blame him. If you don't have a brother, blame the dog. If you don't have a brother, blame the dog. If you don't have a dog, run away from home?"
If she had had this awareness back then, life at her parents' home wouldn't have been so hard.
A few days ago, my cousin's wife went to Qingshi Town. My parents brought my two sisters and brother to our house to pay New Year's greetings to my grandfather. They also wanted to please her and ask her to take some money out of her purse to help them.
I really thought she was easy to fool.
Seeing that she was unwilling, her two sisters spoke coldly to her, and her brother, who was three years younger than her, pushed her several times with a look of disgust on his face.
Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and pushed her brother, causing him to trip over the threshold and fall out of the house. Her parents wanted to beat her, but were stopped by her grandparents.
Fortunately, after signing the severance agreement, she no longer had any illusions about her parents. Now, taking care of her cousin's family is what she needs to worry about.
Song Yuntang glanced in her direction.
"Is there anything you want to do?"
Nian'er shook her head.
"I'll just follow my cousin's wife."
Song Yuntang smiled, "Okay, then follow me for now."
The three of them went to the clinic along the way. This year, there were no stalls on the roadside, and many shops on the roadside were closed. Even some food shops were smashed into a mess and had not been repaired in time.
It seems that a lot of things happened in the county during the time she returned to Lushan Village and Qingshi Town.
"Nian'er, when did you come to the county town? Do you know what happened here?"
Nian'er said, "I came here with my second uncle, second aunt, and cousin more than a month ago. During that time, the county magistrate's wife often led the ladies and young ladies of various families to distribute porridge at the city gate. There were many victims at that time. Even from morning to night, there were still many victims who could not get food. These people started to smash and rob everywhere when they could not get food. That period was scary. After we arrived, we hardly dared to go out."
"Then the imperial envoys from the court arrived with medicine and relief grain, and two new soup kitchens were added at the city gate. Only then did the situation improve."
Song Yuntang nodded.
Speaking of this imperial envoy, he is really mysterious. Since he was sent by the imperial court to provide disaster relief, he did not show up even when there was such a serious plague in Qingshi Town.
She had been in Qingshi Town for several months and had never seen him.
"Have you ever seen the Imperial Commissioner?"
Nian'er shook her head and said, "He is an imperial envoy, an official sent by the emperor. How can people like us see him?"
After hearing this, Song Yuntang didn't ask any more questions and walked into the clinic.
"Master is here!" Shunzi behind the counter was the first to notice her.
Song Yuntang nodded and responded to everyone's greetings one by one.
There are still a lot of people in the clinic.
However, with the presence of Doctor Zhou and Doctor Sun, although the management is busy, it is still well organized.
"Doctor Song."
A girl dressed as a maid walked into the clinic, bowed to Song Yuntang and said, "I am Wenqin from the Yang Mansion. Our old lady asked me to ask Doctor Song if she still has the Angong Niuhuang Pills that you gave her on her birthday last time. She wants to buy some from Doctor Song."
"Yes, yes." Song Yuntang looked at her, "But if it is for ordinary health care, this kind of pill cannot be taken too much. In order to ensure the freshness and efficacy of the pill, you can only bring one pill to Madam Yang at a time. If Madam Yang needs it in the future, you can send someone to buy it."
The maid named Wen Qin nodded quickly.
"Okay, then I'll trouble Doctor Song to prepare a pill for our old lady. After I go back, I will relay Doctor Song's words to the old lady."
"It takes some time to make the pills. You can come back here in three days to get them." He turned to look at Cao Shun, "Shunzi, this girl wants to order Angong Niuhuang Pills. You can take her to place an order and pay the deposit."
Shunzi responded and quickly took Wenqin to the counter.
After finishing his work here, Song Yuntang sat at the examination table and treated the patients together with doctors Sun and Zhou.
It was not until the hour of Si that Nian'er came behind the screen, supporting an old man who was about fifty or sixty years old.
"Cousin, this old man wants you to treat him."
After she finished speaking, she helped the old man sit down opposite Song Yuntang.
