"Okay!"
He Jiuniang left satisfied, and Lianhua led the little dog back home.
After walking a few steps, they saw Sun standing not far away, looking at Gou'er with a resentful expression.
"Doggy, is Grandma not good to you?"
Although she herself didn't particularly care for that hairpin, she wanted what He Jiuniang had!
The puppy didn't know why Grandma suddenly said such a thing, but without thinking, it nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay! Grandma is so good to the puppy!"
"Then why did you buy flowers for your mother but not for me?"
That thing probably costs a lot of money. If it were anyone else, she would definitely stop them, but He Jiu Niang is encouraging her son to spend money, so why can't she accept it?
"ah……"
The puppy was stunned. "Grandma is so old, why does she still need to wear flowers?"
Lotus lowered her head in embarrassment. It seemed that Aunt Jiu Niang and Grandma Lu were arguing with Gou'er so seriously because of her.
Although the dog didn't understand, he was smart enough that he didn't need to understand; he just agreed without hesitation!
"Grandma, don't worry, when Gou'er has saved enough money, he'll buy you flowers to wear!"
Even though the money is still nowhere to be found, hearing those words makes one feel good.
Sun nodded proudly: "That's more like it! Lotus, take him to play!"
Upon seeing this, the Yu family members, who were drying feathers not far away, couldn't help but chuckle.
Lu Guilan complained, "Mom is really becoming more and more like a child, even getting so jealous of her third sister-in-law!"
"Mom and my third brother's wife get along very well; she's just playing with the puppy!"
"Yes, I think it's great. Mother's temper has improved a lot recently, and she smiles a lot more. She looks several years younger!"
"That's because our family's life is getting better and better! It's all thanks to my third brother's wife!"
...
The women chatted idly, one after another, without trying to muffle their voices, and Mrs. Sun could vaguely hear some of it.
Seeing everyone in the family getting along so harmoniously, Mrs. Sun, as an elder, was also happy.
Actually, she didn't necessarily want to be harsh with He Jiuniang. It was just that He Jiuniang was too prominent in the family, and she was worried that the eldest and second sons' families would have different opinions. That's why she came up with this compromise, and now it seems that the solution is quite effective.
When He Jiuniang arrived in the county town, she first sent the medicinal herbs to the clinic. This time, there were several more herbs, which were much more valuable than usual, and the price naturally increased as well.
The shop assistant weighed the money, and the shopkeeper calculated that it totaled twelve taels of silver. Just as he was about to get the silver for He Jiu Niang, a couple rushed in from outside, holding a child who was convulsing in their arms.
"Doctor! Doctor! Please save my son!"
The young man shouted excitedly, while the woman cried anxiously. She didn't understand anything and immediately knelt down before Manager Ren.
Manager Ren was probably used to such scenes. While looking at the child, he told He Jiuniang to wait a moment.
The waiter went in to pour tea, hoping the couple could calm down first.
At this moment, it is difficult for parents to remain calm. They watched as Manager Ren took the child away and called another doctor over, and the two of them examined the child together.
He Jiuniang frowned slightly as she watched Manager Ren and the others' actions, and couldn't help but say, "Manager Ren, lay the child down and find something for him to bite on, so he doesn't bite himself."
The child was convulsing, foaming at the mouth, and losing consciousness; these were clearly symptoms of an epileptic seizure.
Manager Ren was experienced in medicine and knew these common sense things, but the child kept his mouth tightly shut, so he couldn't put anything in. He was a little anxious for a moment.
He Jiuniang couldn't bear to watch any longer. She felt that if things continued like this, the child might bite off his own tongue. So she stepped forward, took the child from Manager Ren, and quickly pinched a few acupoints on the child to make him relax. She then inserted a chopstick into his mouth.
Manager Ren was dumbfounded. Didn't this woman say she had only read a few medical books and could read? How could she find the acupoints so accurately?
Before he could think further, He Jiuniang said, "Find me a packet of silver needles. Also, take 10 grams each of Nardostachys jatamansi, Campsis grandiflora, Aconitum carmichaelii, and Acorus tatarinowii, add 3 grams of Veratrum nigrum and 30 grams of hematite, boil them in water and send them over."
The young waitress was completely stunned. It was Manager Ren who gave her a push and said, "Hurry up and go!"
Only then did he realize what He Jiuniang had said and did as she had instructed.
The young couple stood aside, their hands and feet trembling with anxiety. They had initially thought the woman had rushed over out of nowhere to cause trouble, but seeing that Manager Ren had told them to listen to her, and that their son had indeed calmed down with her help, they dared not utter a sound.
He Jiuniang's acupuncture technique could only provide relief. Manager Ren didn't dare to blink, but he still couldn't understand how she did it. It looked like she was randomly inserting needles, but the acupoints she entered were all able to alleviate the symptoms.
More importantly, she applied needles at varying depths. Without her explanation, even if someone understood which acupoints were located, no one would dare to apply needles lightly.
Manager Ren and the other doctor were dumbfounded. They couldn't believe that someone in this world could have such a superb acupuncture technique!
What's more, this person is a woman!
Once the child had calmed down completely, the medicine prepared by the young shop assistant was delivered, and He Jiuniang asked the child's parents to feed the child the medicine.
The child regained consciousness and was able to drink it on his own. Perhaps because he had been sick since childhood, he had become immune to such bitter medicine. He drank the whole bowl without even flinching.
For some reason, He Jiuniang remembered that Gou'er had been like this at the beginning.
"Thank you, madam, thank you!"
The young woman held He Jiuniang's hand and thanked her profusely, tears streaming down her face. He Jiuniang felt a pang of sadness and simply said, "It was nothing."
Afterwards, amidst the couple's profuse thanks, He Jiuniang suggested that they take a few more doses of medicine home, and also taught them that if the illness recurred, they should put something in his mouth immediately, otherwise he might bite himself and hurt himself.
After finally seeing the family off, He Jiuniang sighed softly. As parents, what they can't bear to see most is their children suffering from illness.
Just as I was feeling down, I turned around and saw Manager Ren and the doctor staring at me with lewd expressions.
He Jiuniang: ...
"Madam He, who did you learn your medical skills from? Would you be interested in practicing medicine at your clinic?"
Manager Ren's face was all bulging from his smile, looking incredibly greasy. He Jiu Niang subconsciously took two steps back before saying, "I just read a few medical books."
"This is really something!"
Manager Ren clapped his hands, looking appreciative.
"I have never seen anyone who could learn to such a level on their own. Madam He is truly a divine being!"
The old doctor clenched his fist excitedly. He had practiced medicine for most of his life, but his acupuncture skills were not as good as this young lady's little finger. He was ashamed of himself!
"Madam He's medical skills are superb, surpassing both of ours. Our Yuyuan Hall is willing to spend a large sum of money to hire you to practice medicine at our clinic. What do you say, Madam He?"
Manager Ren looked at He Jiu Niang with a wicked heart... oh no, I mean, with a sincere and precious gaze, his attitude so warm that no one could refuse.
