Chapter 113 113 The Stone Pregnancy Protection Method & Was I Cheated? ! …
The three of them arrived at the clinic and found that it was already surrounded by people. Some of them came to see the doctor but turned to watch the fun, while others were curious passers-by who were attracted by the noise.
Xu Duan shouted loudly, asking the crowd to make way for him.
"Dr. Shu is here!"
"It's Doctor Shu, your wife is saved!" The onlookers showed joy on their faces.
Xu Duan escorted Jin Yue into the clinic, and saw that everyone was standing except for a few people sitting on the waiting chairs in the hall. In the middle was a young couple, about twenty-four or twenty-five years old. The young wife had a pale face and tearful eyes. She opened her mouth like a goose, and squeezed out a "uh uh uh" sound from her throat.
This should be the patient. The woman next to her who is in her fifties is not sure if she is her mother or mother-in-law.
Seeing her, the young couple quickly stood up. Zhao Wanqiu also came over and stuffed a stack of reports into Jin Yue's hand.
As Shu Jinyue watched, her brows furrowed. The onlookers had not made a sound since Jinyue entered. They all stared at Jinyue without daring to breathe, not missing any expression on her face.
While observing the expressions of the group of people opposite him, Xu Duan also took a few glances and saw the four words "diaphragm spasm".
Yes, this condition is called diaphragmatic spasm in Western medicine. Feng Chunxia's eldest son-in-law, the disabled veteran who recognized Song Yingwu, suffered from this disease. He was initially believed to be a stutterer and did not receive treatment. He was delayed for a long time before he found Jin Yue and was barely cured.
But their situations are completely different: Feng Chunxia's eldest son-in-law is a young man with good physical fitness and can tolerate many special medicines, while the patient in front of him is a "fragile" pregnant woman.
No, no, no, she is not an ordinary pregnant woman.
Shu Jinyue looked at the data written on her list and confirmed, "What's your name?"
"Li Xuemei."
Shu Jinyue thought about the next question, "Do I need to ask everyone to step aside for a moment?"
Li Xuemei shook her head. "No, I'm fine, uh—uh!"
Jin Yue nodded and asked directly: "How many times have you been pregnant before?"
"three times!"
In this era, it is not uncommon to get pregnant three times. What is uncommon is the following words——
"My daughter has been married for several years. She has been pregnant three times before, but all of them failed because of this disease. Doctor Shu, please save her and the child. If she can't save this one, she won't be able to live like this. Damn it! My daughter is so unlucky to marry into their family!"
The woman cursed and glared at Li Xuemei's husband. There was no doubt that she was Li Xuemei's mother, not her mother-in-law.
However, Jin Yue was not interested in any disputes or conflicts between the two families. She was only interested in Li Xuemei's condition: "What happened in the previous three times?"
Li Xuemei's speech was always interrupted by hiccups, so Jin Yue looked at her husband. Xuemei's husband timidly explained in a low voice: "We have been married for five years. My wife had three pregnancies before. She started to have hiccups when she was more than one month pregnant. The problem became more and more serious. When it lasted for two and a half months, the baby could not be kept."
People are gossipy. If it weren't for the hospital and clinic's rules not allowing it, otherwise whenever Shu Jinyue saw a patient, the gossipers around him would want to squeeze into the consulting room to listen. They always felt that every patient's illness had a "reason", and they were all a bunch of gossips. But Shu Jinyue neither let them listen nor kept his mouth shut, and everyone was so anxious that they scratched their heads.
This time, when they heard that she had miscarried three times in five years of marriage, the onlookers were all shocked, "What kind of strange disease is this?"
"I also have hiccups, but I've never heard that hiccups can cause miscarriage. Could it be that she is just not in good health?"
"This is not just ordinary hiccups, you came too late and didn't see it. I came early and saw this young wife hiccuping so hard that she couldn't stand up and was staggering. She had to be carried in on a stretcher."
Shu Jinyue ignored everyone's discussion and looked at Li Xuemei's mother: "Are you sure your daughter's three miscarriages were all caused by this disease? Were they natural miscarriages or artificial abortions?"
Mother Li nodded with tears in her eyes. "Yes, every time I was pregnant for two and a half months, I couldn't bear it anymore. The first two times, I started bleeding during intercourse, and I couldn't eat. I was severely malnourished, so I miscarried. The third time, I couldn't breathe because of hiccups. I went to the hospital for emergency treatment. I was on IV drip for several days but it still couldn't stop. I was getting weaker and weaker, and I took some medicine. After comprehensive consideration, I had an abortion."
You can't tell, but this old lady speaks in a very logical way, and it's hard not to believe that what she says is true. Maybe Li Xuemei's in-laws are really bad people.
"This time, they wanted to send her to the district hospital, but I disagreed and sent her directly to the provincial hospital. She stayed in the hospital for more than 20 days, but the disease still couldn't be stopped. The doctor told us to think carefully about whether to save the adult or the child. Her black-hearted mother-in-law insisted on saving the child. Bah! It's only been more than two months. If my daughter can't make it, she won't have a grandson!"
Two months later, the question was raised as to whether to save the adult or the child. For a moment, Shu Jinyue didn't know whether he was complaining about the unreliable doctor or the patient's family.
"Wow, there is such a mother-in-law in the world?"
"That's because you don't have much experience. Have you heard of Aunt Li from No. 16, Liuye Hutong?"
Oh my god, the melon-eating has come to Yard No. 16 again. Shu Jinyue is helpless. She has read all the check lists and feels that none of the situations she imagined on the road seem to apply to Li Xuemei.
“Is the food easy to digest? Does it cause heartburn and bloating?”
Li Xuemei shook her head.
According to the theory of clinical medicine, hiccups during pregnancy are generally caused by the influence of hormones which leads to poor stomach digestion ability, but she did not have the corresponding symptoms.
Looking at her belly again, she wasn't showing any signs of pregnancy, and her uterus hadn't grown large enough to squeeze the gastrointestinal tract and diaphragm. Her eating habits were also pretty good, and she didn't eat much raw or cold food... So it seemed like it wasn't hormones, or the enlarged uterus, or eating something bad, which ruled out all the possible scenarios that I could think of.
In fact, Li Xuemei's "hiccups" were indeed quite serious, and had caused difficulty breathing, low blood oxygen concentration, and severe malnutrition.
Drugs suitable for diaphragm spasm, such as nimodipine, lidocaine, phenytoin sodium, etc., are not suitable for pregnant women. There is a risk of teratogenicity and miscarriage if used. If not used, she may suffocate herself to death due to "hiccups".
In this case, the most favorable decision the doctor can make is to recommend termination of pregnancy, giving priority to the health and life of the adult, but the in-laws are not happy about it, so when Jin Yue was looking through the materials, he also saw several letters of guarantee signed by them and with their fingerprints pressed. The guarantee was agreed by everyone after their family discussed it, and they would not cause trouble to the hospital in the future if there was anything.
Jin Yue was already a little "scared" before he even met Li Xuemei's in-laws.
"How about this, I'll take your pulse first, and then you guys come in."
Li Xuemei's husband and mother helped her into the clinic. Jin Yue asked them to sit down. Hu Rongsheng, Zhao Wanqiu and Xu Duan stood on both sides of her, with a strong sense of protection.
Wait for two minutes, then start taking the pulse.
Unlike what Jin Yue thought, which was a weak spleen and stomach, or stomach qi rising, Li Xuemei's pulse was stringy, and her tongue was consistent with her pulse. She thought about it and realized that it was obviously liver qi stagnation, not a weak spleen and stomach. She asked Li Xuemei's husband, "Has your wife encountered anything particularly unhappy or unpleasant recently?"
The man shook his head.
Jin Yue felt something was wrong. The pulse would not lie. "Think about it again. Li Xuemei, just say it yourself. Nod or shake your head."
She didn't quite trust this man, and his submissiveness was useless.
Mother Li sneered, "Don't be so busy shaking your head. Have you forgotten the quarrel your mother had with her a month ago?"
It turned out that a month ago, because Li Xuemei gave herself two extra spoonfuls of rice, her mother-in-law scolded her for not earning any money and only knowing how to eat and drink her son's food. She also said that it would be better to marry a sow than her, because a sow can give birth to several piglets, but she could not even eat the piglets.
"My daughter Xuemei is a high school student after all. She has always been working. Why didn't she say anything when she got her salary every month? Now, because their factory is not doing well, she went home to rest for a while. Her mother-in-law can't stand her. She scolds her if she eats one more bite of food. Who can bear this? Xuemei fainted from anger at that time."
The person fainted but was not sent to the hospital. When the son-in-law came home from get off work, he saw that she had slowly come back to life. Li Xuemei packed up her things on the spot and went back to her parents' home. When she told her parents, the whole family started making a fuss. This was another trivial matter.
Li Xuemei's husband's eyes flickered. He didn't dare to speak or deny.
Shu Jinyue focused on "fainting from qi". Seeing Li Xuemei nodding in agreement with tears in her eyes, Jinyue quickly confirmed his diagnosis - Li Xuemei's condition was not as complicated as it sounded. In fact, she just had an ordinary case of liver qi reflux.
Judging from the cause, symptoms and pulse of the illness, it is all due to the upward flow of liver qi. I am not sure what caused the previous three times, but I am sure this time will be correct.
The cause and pathogenesis of the disease are very simple. It is just that the liver qi rises up and triggers the stomach qi to move the diaphragm. The problem is that the medication is not simple.
"In your case, I can try it on you, but the prescription I need to use contains a mineral medicine called Daizheshi. In addition to calming the liver and suppressing yang, lowering adverse qi and stopping hiccups, it can also cool blood and stop bleeding. And because it is heavy and cold in nature, its medicinal properties move downwards. If a pregnant woman uses it, there is a certain risk of miscarriage. You should consider it first. If you agree to use it, I will prescribe it for you."
The young couple was silent and looked at Li's mother.
Mother Li was stuck for a moment. "Doctor Shu, do you have a rough idea of the probability of miscarriage?"
"Within 5 percent, but you must listen to me. You can't add medicine without permission, and you must avoid eating things that you can't eat."
Li's mother breathed a sigh of relief. The 5% miscarriage rate didn't sound high. After all, when they were in the provincial hospital, they were told that the miscarriage rate was 80%. Even if the baby was saved by chance, it would most likely be deformed.
Oh yeah, deformity!
"So what is the probability of this medicine causing deformity?"
"Won't."
"No means..." Mother Li was a little surprised, and her eyes lit up for an instant.
Li Xuemei had been ill for so long that many people, including doctors, nurses, friends, neighbors, colleagues, and even her mother and father-in-law, said that it was a waste of effort because the baby would be born with a deformity. Instead of letting Xuemei suffer (and spending money), it would be better to just give up the baby. But Dr. Ke Shu could tell her categorically that no, it would not cause deformity at all!
"If you use this recipe, you will either end up in the 5% of cases where you have a miscarriage, or you will have no problems at all and give birth to two healthy children safely."
If the people around were still skeptical the previous second, then this sentence completely made the crowd boil!
Even Zhao Wanqiu exclaimed: "Two?"
"Doctor Shu, what you mean is that my daughter is pregnant with twins?"
"Yes." Shu Jinyue stood up and poured Li Xuemei a cup of warm water. "From the pulse, it's twins."
"But the check-up we did in the hospital half a month ago didn't say it was twins." Li Xuemei's husband said hesitantly. He was happy, but he still felt that he trusted Western medicine's imaging examinations more. After all, they were objective and could be seen with the naked eye. He felt it was a bit far-fetched to know how many babies a woman was pregnant just by touching her hand. This was also the reason why he had been reluctant to take his wife to see a Chinese doctor.
His grandmother had stomach cancer that year. If she hadn't seen a Chinese doctor, she could have lived for at least another half a year. But his mother insisted on seeing a Chinese doctor, and said that she had gone to great lengths and used many connections to find an old Chinese doctor. In order to get an appointment with him, he and his father queued up in the cold wind all night. As a result, the medicine was not cheap, and it cost more than 300 yuan. His grandmother only lived for two months, which was almost the same as the survival period predicted by Western medicine, not even a day more.
Three hundred yuan nearly ten years ago. At that time, his parents were elementary school teachers and only earned about 40 yuan a month. These three hundred yuan were equivalent to their annual salary.
It’s not that it’s not worth spending money on grandma’s treatment, but, well, everyone has expectations. They feel that after spending so much money, if she can’t be cured, at least she can live longer, then the money is worth it.
Since then, he has been quite resistant to traditional Chinese medicine and always felt that they were all scams. He didn't want to come today, but his mother-in-law told him that she heard from colleagues talking about a private clinic that opened opposite the San Department Store. The doctors there are very skilled and good at treating difficult and complicated diseases. When his mother-in-law said this, the doctor who was on rounds at the Provincial Hospital happened to hear it, and he echoed a few words, saying that if they wanted to try Chinese medicine, they could come here, as many difficult and complicated diseases in their hospital were cured by Doctor Shu.
He couldn't persuade his mother-in-law and wife, so he came.
But at this point, regardless of what other medicines were used, he thought the phrase "diagnosing twins by taking the pulse" was nonsense!
"We did an ultrasound at the hospital, and no one said it was twins."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the crowd refuted him, "Young man, don't be anxious. You just said that it was checked half a month ago. Maybe it was not visible at that time? Why don't you take your wife to have a look now?"
"Our Doctor Shu can't be wrong when taking pulses. She was able to tell that her sister-in-law was pregnant with twins ten years ago. You say her medical skills have not improved at all in the past ten years, or even regressed?"
Someone laughed and said, "This is nonsense. Five years ago, she was the one who gave birth to my daughter-in-law's twins. The hospital didn't even see it in the first place."
"My cousin from my hometown was also like that. She couldn't get pregnant for a long time. It was only after Dr. Shu's help that she got pregnant. And she got pregnant with a double yolk egg!"
Everyone laughed, "It turns out that all the twins around Liuye Hutong have been treated by Doctor Shu."
Someone else said, "But our Doctor Shu has said that she is only responsible for checking whether there is a baby, how many there are, and whether it is a boy or a girl. Don't ask, she doesn't care!"
Everyone laughed again, and the atmosphere became relaxed. Mother Li and Li Xuemei felt much better instantly. Li Xuemei even hiccuped less frequently than before.
"There's no rush about this. You must discuss it with your family and get them to agree to my treatment method. You must also help me write a statement saying that you are seeking treatment voluntarily." Shu Jinyue was a little afraid of Li Xuemei's mother-in-law, whom she had never met. To be honest, she wanted to help her with the treatment, but she also wanted to keep her professional qualifications to avoid being sued and sent to jail or bankrupted.
"Yes, yes, why didn't anyone from your in-laws come? They have to come too. Don't let anything happen and your in-laws disown you."
Some people saw that her husband didn't say much and didn't seem to be able to stand up. They were all smart people who were watching the fun, so they immediately said, "All of us present today can testify for Dr. Shu."
Hu Rongsheng said coldly with a handsome uncle face: "Think it over carefully, discuss it as a family, and come back with a unified opinion."
After they left, Jin Yue was a little tired. Some neighbors asked if they could make an appointment with her, but Jin Yue refused.
When she got home, she didn't have time to rest and rummaged through the drawers and cabinets looking for books.
"Which book are you looking for? I'll help you." Xu Duan asked from the side.
"I can't remember which book it is for now, but I'm sure I've read it." She came up with this prescription today on a whim. She had never used it before. Three or four consecutive times of hiccups during pregnancy led to miscarriage, which is considered a strange disease. She would have an impression of it if she had encountered it before.
I have never used it, but I have an impression of it. I must have seen it in a book. "Don't make things worse. Just clean up the things I've found and eliminated first."
Xu Duan was not angry either. He bent down and picked up the books one by one for her. He did not put them back for the time being, but placed them neatly on the table. He also poured her a glass of honey water and said, "Moisten your throat and take your time to look for it."
After drinking the sweet honey water, Jin Yue felt much better, and the anxious fire in his heart seemed to have subsided. "You go and do your thing first, I'll find it myself."
Xu Duan did have something to do. After reaching an agreement on the cooperation with Sato Shizuka, he still had a lot of things to do. In addition to the work at his own factory, he had to work overtime in the past two months.
After a while, Zhao Wanqiu came back and asked Jin Yue about Li Xuemei. The mother and daughter discussed for a while: "I have been working in clinical practice for so many years. Western medicine calls this kind of situation habitual abortion. The general medications are oxytocin, aspirin, magnesium sulfate, etc. If it is caused by cervical insufficiency, cerclage can be used."
"But in Li Xuemei's case, the examination has ruled out cervical insufficiency, and it is not a problem of hormones or blood coagulation. What else can we consider?"
"Immunity and genes, but there is no way to check them at the moment. Even if they can be checked, some conditions cannot be treated or prevented."
Zhao Wanqiu sighed, "What should I do?"
Shu Jinyue didn't say anything and continued to search among the mountains and seas of books she had found. She was sure that she had seen this recipe before, but she had so many books in her collection that she couldn't figure out which one it was in! After so many years since her rebirth, she has bought more clothes than books. Apart from those she got by chance and bought from scrap collection stations, there are also many books that she borrowed from the library. If she found them interesting, she would find ways to buy them back and keep them for herself... After ten years, the bookshelf is full, and there are three large boxes of books that she rarely reads placed in the living room.
"It doesn't matter if you can't think of it. We'll just try our best. By the way, your eldest brother and his wife are coming back tonight, and your dad said he wants to make dumplings for us. I'll go over and help them first."
Jin Yue nodded and searched for a while, but still couldn't find it. Instead, Meng Meng Ya Ya and Xiao Ping An came to her chattering and insisted on pulling her to perform singing and dancing for her, and she had to watch.
Mengmeng Yaya is in the second grade this year, and Xiaopingan is in the senior class. They understand a lot of things now. They usually help with housework at home and wash their own socks and pants. Anyway, adults don’t expect them to do much work, as long as they learn to take care of themselves.
After being forced to watch the demons dancing for ten minutes and listen to the King of Wei Ge for five minutes, Shu Jinyue hurriedly said, "Let's go to the kitchen and see what kind of dumplings we have for dinner today?"
"I know! The one with the shrimp filling!"
"Chives and prawns!"
Jin Yue was stunned, "Where did the prawns come from?"
"My aunt bought these, there are so many!"
Shu Jinyue hurried to the old house to take a look, and found that they were indeed big prawns, as long as her palm. Although they were not fresh, they were rare in inland areas at that time. In the past two years, there were very few shops selling seafood.
"Where did you buy those prawns, sister-in-law? They're really big."
"I didn't buy it myself. Xiao Qin from our company brought it back for me when he went to Bincheng to deliver goods. There are a lot of ice cubes in the big box to keep it fresh. Even though it's dead now, it was still alive when it was packed. It's a pity that the journey is too far. If it were shipped by plane, it would shorten the transportation time a lot. It must be delicious if it's fresh."
Zhao Wanqiu said quickly: "This is fresh, nothing special, it won't go bad."
Usually, the shrimps that Sun Dalong and Qian Chunhua netted and sent to them were river shrimps, which were very, very small, just some transparent little shrimps, and could be fried directly. As for shrimps as big as these, the Shu family didn’t know how to eat them.
"Let's pinch off the head first. We can't keep it. Then remove the black line and peel off the shrimp shell. Then mix it into the stuffing and the dumplings will be extra delicious."
Jin Yue herself had never eaten it, but she had seen it on her phone. She gave instructions and everyone followed her lead. They quickly picked out a pot of shrimps, and men, women, young and old all came to help. The hot dumplings were soon out of the pot.
When eating dumplings, Jin Yue left a curtain of raw dumplings for Xu Duan, thinking that he would put them in the pot when he came back in the evening. Everyone laughed when they saw this, especially Liu Huifang who laughed the loudest.
Jin Yue blushed, "Sister-in-law is annoying, why are you laughing so loudly?"
"I'm not laughing. I'm just happy. Our Jin Yue also knows how to care for others."
This was said as if she didn't know how to care for others before, so Shu Jinyue had to change the subject, "Sister-in-law is so generous to treat us to prawns this time, are you rich?"
The three children held their bowls of dumplings and pricked up their ears. Liu Huifang coughed lightly, "I did make a little money. The flow of materials across the country is becoming more and more frequent, and our dependence on transportation is also increasing. I made the right decision to buy these three trucks."
It's hard to say how much he earned in front of the children, but it made Shu Wenyan, who used to be so stingy that he couldn't even afford to burn coal briquettes in the winter, so happy that he even gave Teacher Shu a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes. Jin Yue guessed that he must have made a lot of money.
These three children of mine are so smart. They listen to whatever the adults say. It would be bad if they let something slip and get out one day. Shu Jinyue was just guessing in his mind, but Shu Wenming looked at the fresh shrimps in the dumplings, thoughtfully.
After eating dumplings and sending the children out to play, he asked Liu Huifang, "Sister-in-law, how many workers does your company have now?"
"There are six drivers, including Senior Brother Zhao Dayong. Two of them form a team, and we take turns driving three vehicles. There are also three porters and a warehouse manager."
Being able to support ten workers is not considered a small scale, and she has an even bolder idea - "I'm thinking that my previous company will be acquired by the city transportation company, and they still want to deal with their trucks. Why not buy three more? The current cargo volume is really large. Many times, I have all my trucks deployed, and some people still come to ask when I can deliver the goods to them, and the money they offer is not low."
Goods began to flow back and forth between the north and the south, but the means of transportation were limited, so those who were engaged in transportation became popular, while the transportation company they originally worked for was on the verge of being acquired. Jin Yue found it unbelievable.
"Your previous unit had big problems with management. The workers' wages were too low, and the drivers were busy doing private work and didn't care about public interests at all." Shu Wenming snorted. He thought of the vegetable market where he had worked for many years. It was no longer viable now. The free market on the street was full of vendors selling vegetables. The vegetables were fresher and cheaper than those in the market. You could pick whichever ones you liked. Who would go to a state-owned vegetable store and be looked down upon?
Shu Linong had just finished washing the dishes and came into the house. When he heard this, he thought of the once prosperous vegetable market. "Fortunately, Lao Er and Wen Li resigned, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to pay their salaries. Take the old neighbors in Liuye Hutong for example. They all go to the farmer's market to buy vegetables!"
What is a farmers' market? It has only appeared in the last two years. It is divided into sections, with meat and vegetable sellers. Except for rice and flour, which can be purchased at the grain station, everything else can be bought in different categories.
"I heard Aunt Li has been active again recently!"
"What are you talking about?" Everyone came over. No one had heard from Aunt Li for a while.
Shu Linong rarely becomes the focus of the children, and he felt a little uncomfortable. "Hey, don't look at me like that. I also heard from your Aunt Zhao that she went to the market management office a few days ago to ask if she wanted to rent a stall not far from us. She said she wanted to sell tofu."
It’s true that Aunt Li can really make tofu. It’s her family’s ancestral craft. In the past few years, due to lack of conditions, no one had seen her make it. But now when it is mentioned suddenly, even the older people can remember this unique skill of her family.
The Xinqiao Sub-district Office is currently planning a vegetable market. The former state-owned vegetable market was located diagonally opposite Liuye Hutong and next to Huaishu Hutong. Now the state-owned market will be converted into a private one, and individual business owners are encouraged to set up stalls and do business. The stalls have begun to be rented out.
"Not only Aunt Li, I heard Aunt Niu is going too."
"What is she selling?"
"She's just a bus conductor. It's impossible for her to have any special skills, right?"
"She doesn't have any special skills, but her daughter Niu Xiaofang used to be a waitress in a state-owned restaurant. She learned how to fry glutinous rice noodles and stir-fry oil-fried dumplings. I heard that she is going to set up a stall there to fry and sell them on the spot."
Everyone exclaimed "Oh", it seems that Aunt Niu has not been so aloof in the past two years. In the past, she was the one who laughed the loudest when making fun of Shu Wenming.
However, this did remind Shu Wenming. He stroked the stubble on his chin and whispered, "Even these two most difficult ones want to start their own business. Do you think our family needs to have more options?"
"What road?"
"How about we sell seafood?" He looked at Liu Huifang. "Sister-in-law has a car. Let's think of a way. If we can't sell live seafood, we can sell frozen seafood."
"But this thing is so expensive, not many people are willing to buy it."
"Dad, you don't know, but in the future, our lives will only get better and better. Our material living conditions will get better and better, and we will be more particular about food. Eating just pork and chicken is not enough, and the demand for seafood will explode."
Shu Linong didn't understand what explosive growth meant, and Liu Huifang wasn't as excited as Shu Wenming expected. She declined, "I know Wenming means well, but I know my ability. I just want to earn some hard-earned money. I don't have the connections to sell seafood, and I don't have that much capital. Let's just forget it."
Shu Wenming wanted to persuade him again, but was tricked by Xu Wenli and had to give up.
Shu Jinyue saw all of this and thought that his second brother had a very flexible mind. He was bold in thinking and acting. He sold his job as soon as he was told to, and took action as soon as he took his entire fortune of 1,300 yuan and followed Xu Duan to the south. He took out a loan as soon as he was told to, and he opened a garment factory and his clothing store also flourished. He was very clear about doing business.
With such courage and initiative, it’s no wonder that he could become a big boss even without her help in his previous life!
"But it's normal for sister-in-law to worry. Not everyone can handle seafood. Save up some money first. If you really have the right connections one day, it will be in time to do it, right?"
After Jin Yue said this, everyone had a way out. The family meeting ended here, and Xu Duan finally came back.
As soon as he entered the door, Shu Linong started cooking dumplings. By the time he finished washing and changing his clothes, the dumplings were just out of the pot. Everyone else went to the living room of the central courtyard to watch TV. Now, they were not the only family in the compound that had a TV, but everyone was still in the habit of watching it at Shu's house. They always felt that it was more fun to watch it together and discuss the plot!
"How is it? Does it smell good?" Jin Yue asked Xu Duan expectantly.
Xu Duan ate very politely and chewed his food slowly, but most people couldn't tell that he was actually very fast. In just five or six minutes, he finished all twenty or so dumplings.
"It's delicious. Where did the shrimp come from?"
Jin Yue then told the story of his sister-in-law again, "Do you think selling seafood is possible?"
Xu Duan put the dishes in the kitchen and said as he washed them, "Let's observe for a while and see how much it costs. This business has big profits, but you need to have your own stable and reliable source of goods. Warehousing is also a big problem. There are too many things to worry about. It's better to do as she thought and buy a few more vehicles to expand the scale of the transportation company. It's easier to make money in a field that you are familiar with."
He said this based on his understanding of Liu Huifang. She has a steady personality and is down-to-earth in everything she does. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage, as sometimes she can seem inflexible.
The couple chatted for a while, and since they didn't want to watch TV, they went back to their rooms. He went to wash their dirty clothes for the day, while Jin Yue looked for a book in the room.
"Still haven't found it?"
"Well, I searched all over the house."
Xu Duan hung the clothes up, then seeing her frowning face, he tried to remind her, "Did you learn this in your old textbooks?"
"no."
"Is that from the book Grandma Hu gave you?"
"no."
"Sell that book to Professor Zhang?"
"No...wait, Aunt Zhang... Aunt Zhang!"
Xu Duan reacted immediately and pulled out a few books from the bottom shelf. These were the books that Aunt Zhang, Zhang Desheng's mother from the scrap collection station, brought to Jin Yue last year. He was deeply impressed by the book "Imperial Han Medicine" at that time. The remaining three books were also medical books.
Jin Yue only had time to read it all once and took some notes. She hadn't remembered to read it a second time, so she just had some impression, "It should be in Qi Huanxin's medical practice notes."
At that time, Aunt Zhang sold four books to Jin Yue, one of which was the medical notes written by Qi Huanxin, a famous local doctor in Shilan Province. At that time, Jin Yue felt that he had not learned the essence of Qi Huanxin's medicine, and felt sorry that the Qi family's medical skills had been lost, so he learned it himself.
"I remember that the old Chinese doctor Qi Huanxin wrote a prescription like this, called 'Stone Pregnancy Protection Method'. I saw it in the catalogue... Yes, it's here!"
Jin Yue turned to that page and found that it was indeed recorded like this. When he was practicing medicine in Shilan area in the late Qing Dynasty, he met some pregnant women who had miscarriages due to severe hiccups during pregnancy. One of them was so serious that she had been pregnant six times and had miscarriages six times. She was 38 years old and still couldn't give birth to a boy or girl. She came to him for help. After taking her pulse, he determined that it was liver qi that was moving the diaphragm, so he used the stone-preserving method to save the child until he was born safely.
There is another sentence at the end: In the following decades, I used this method to protect the fetus, and it was effective every time I tried it.
Although it was only a dozen words, it told later generations that the success of this method of preserving pregnancy was not an accidental exception, but could be widely used and promoted, and his "tested and effective" was clinical experimental data that could be traced back.
"I was saying that when this recipe popped up in my mind, I was wondering how I knew this recipe. I have never used it, and my master never told me about it... It turns out that I saw it in this notebook."
Jin Yue has complicated feelings towards Qi Huanxin. He only knew that he was a famous doctor in the past, but he didn't know where his reputation came from. Especially after meeting his son, Qi, an old Chinese doctor, Jin Yue couldn't help but feel that their family's medical skills were overrated. But since she read this notebook, she was completely impressed by Qi Huanxin's bold ideas on medication and its miraculous effects!
He can use stones to protect the fetus for patients with habitual miscarriage, and there are many successful cases, and the babies born are also very healthy. This shows that he is not only bold, but also very accurate in his approach. He must ensure that it is effective, and that it will not affect the fetus and cause miscarriage. This "degree" is something that many people cannot achieve even if they get his prescription.
A famous doctor is a famous doctor.
Looking at his son again, his classical skills are obviously insufficient, as if he had learned them at the last minute. Except for those who don't know, Jin Yue has helped him clean up the mess twice. Hu Guizhi and Ma Qianfu were both people he failed to cure, but were cured by Jin Yue.
"Oh, I hope I can find a successor when I am old, and not end up like Qi Huanxin, who had so much knowledge that his stupid son couldn't learn. What a pity."
"Okay, then we'll have one husband. If he/she likes Chinese medicine, he/she can learn from you. If not, let him/her find a wife or son-in-law to inherit your legacy."
Shu Jinyue laughed more and more, "Children in the future won't listen to their parents in everything. I don't expect them to do that. Anyway, if they want to learn, they can learn. If they don't want to learn, don't force them."
The man's eyes darkened, "Sir, I will educate the child after he is born."
***
In the next few days, Jin Yue was waiting for Li Xuemei. She was very confident that she could help her keep the child, but the prerequisite was that she came and her in-laws agreed.
But to Jin Yue's disappointment, she didn't come after waiting for three days.
Thinking of Wang Manli's experience, Jin Yue was a little worried, so he went to the front desk to ask Xiao Tian: "When Li Xuemei came to see the doctor, did she leave her address and contact information?"
This is the habit of Jinyue Clinic. Asking patients to leave an approximate address and contact information is not to intrude on privacy, but to provide better service in the future. For example, if the wrong money or wrong medicine is given, we can find the person in the shortest time and try to minimize the loss/harm.
Xiaotian flipped through the pages twice and said, "Here, I live in the staff dormitory area of Xinqiao Primary School."
Shu Jinyue wrote down the house number. It was within the jurisdiction, so she didn't need anyone to accompany her. She just went there carrying her medicine box.
Xinqiao Primary School is where my eldest brother Shu Wenyan worked back then. The family quarters are right behind the school, and it is very convenient to go to and from get off work through the back door of the school.
Jin Yue found the second floor according to the house number and knocked twice. The door opened, revealing a somewhat familiar and rather annoying face——
It turned out to be Li Sufen, whom I hadn’t seen for many years!
Ever since they reported Shu Wenyan that year, the Shu family hated her, but because she never came out to make a fuss later and everyone was busy, they forgot about calling her that. But when I see him again now, I still hate him. What's more, because Teacher Li once failed in his pursuit of Teacher Shu, he took out his resentment on Xiao Jinyue. He took the lead in instigating students to isolate and exclude Xiao Jinyue... Jinyue just grew up, he didn't forget.
Obviously, Li Sufen didn't recognize Shu Jinyue. "Who are you looking for?"
"Is this Li Xuemei's home?"
"Yes, she is my daughter-in-law. What do you want with her?"
So that's how it is. Li Xuemei, the legendary evil mother-in-law who is hated by everyone, turned out to be her. Shu Jinyue was not surprised at all.
Jin Yue was too lazy to pay attention to her and turned around to leave, but Li Xuemei's husband saw her and shouted, "Doctor Shu, wait a minute!"
"Doctor Shu came to my house today because..."
Jin Yue hated Li Sufen, but not Li Xuemei. "Let me ask what Li Xuemei's current condition is. If she wants treatment, it's best to do it as soon as possible. The longer it takes, the more disadvantageous it will be for her and the fetus."
"Bah! What nonsense are you talking about? My grandson is fine. Li Xuemei's illness has been cured long ago. Don't curse my grandson!" Li Sufen couldn't stand it anymore and started yelling.
Jin Yue was stunned and looked at the man: "Okay?"
The man was also very happy, and the anxiety of the previous two days was long gone. He smiled and said, "It's all right, it's all right. My mother recommended me to see an old Chinese doctor in the countryside and he got better!"
Shu Jinyue was a little hesitant. It wasn't that she didn't believe there was a doctor in the world who could cure Li Xuemei's disease, but she didn't believe that Li Sufen would be so kind to her daughter-in-law. Out of caution, she asked one more question: "Is it really cured? Have you been to the hospital for a check-up?"
"I've checked it out, and it's the same as what you did. The old Chinese doctor also diagnosed my wife with twins. We went to the hospital for a checkup and it was true. My wife said she was too lazy to run back and forth, so she just took her medicine. After taking it three times, the hiccups stopped, and now she's resting at home."
He scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "It's a pity that the medicine is very expensive, a full hundred yuan."
One hundred dollars? ! Three doses of medicine, or one day's worth of medicine, actually cost an ordinary worker two months' salary? Even some Tian-style people are not that evil.
Shu Jinyue looked at Li Sufen, who was complacent but extremely painful, and seriously suspected that the Li family might have encountered the legendary "fraud doctor"!
