Chapter 399: Some Confidence
Doctor Zhou narrowed his eyes and looked at the nurse: "What do you mean?"
The nurse quickly explained, "Usually, only the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are next door. I was worried that it would be inconvenient for Doctor Zhou to go there, so I asked the little maid to lead the way for you."
"You think too much. I just went over to discuss medical skills with Mrs. Jiang." Doctor Zhou knew that the wet nurse was thinking about Aunt Jiang's reputation, so he didn't get angry.
Otherwise, with his temper, he would have walked away long ago.
The wet nurse breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't expect that the doctor brought by her brother-in-law had good medical skills and a good temper.
"Didn't they say your wife woke up?" Doctor Zhou didn't look at the wet nurse, but walked forward first, and the wet nurse followed immediately.
In the next yard, Ye Mingzhu watched Aunt Jiang walk back to the backyard with an unusually relaxed pace, and asked with a smile, "Mom, is Uncle Fifteen's medical skills very good?"
"Our Zhou family has been practicing medicine for generations. The first book all children learn is the Tangtou Song. Those with good talents will continue to study and become doctors in the future, while those with less talent will become shop assistants or managers in pharmacies."
"Although Uncle Fifteen is young, he is the most talented of his generation. My father once said that if Uncle Fifteen took the exam to become an imperial physician, everyone in the Imperial Hospital would be terrified."
"I haven't inquired about my mother's family in recent years, but it seems that Uncle Fifteen didn't apply to the Imperial Hospital for an examination. Instead, he is practicing medicine among the common people."
Ye Mingzhu nodded: "Mom, are you very familiar with the fifteenth uncle?"
Aunt Jiang's eyes were filled with nostalgia. "When I was a child, I lived in my hometown for a while. The barriers between men and women weren't that serious back home. We all studied medicine together. At the time, my uncle Fifteen and I were the only ones of the same age."
Back then, she was not convinced by her uncle's younger age and higher seniority, and she did many things to make him angry. However, although her uncle had a bad temper, he never told the elders about it, and their relationship gradually improved.
"My relationship with Uncle Fifteen is something we should keep within our family. Don't spread it outside." Aunt Jiang warned Ye Mingzhu, "lest we cause any trouble for Uncle Fifteen."
Five days later, they realized that it was not them who caused trouble for Dr. Zhou, but Dr. Zhou who caused trouble for them.
Doctor Zhou is indeed a master of gynecology. After only five days of him coming, Mrs. Lin's condition has improved a lot. The expressions of the wet nurse and the maids have relaxed. When the cook went out to buy vegetables, she casually said a few words to the servants of another family, and someone came to find her.
In just a quarter of an hour, the visitor was asked to leave.
In the next few days, people came into the Lin residence from time to time and were asked to leave. Later on, people who didn't know the owner couldn't even enter the door of the Lin residence.
Some people came to knock on the Jiang family's door, and Ye Mingzhu only then realized that the neighbors nearby had so many relatives.
The neighbors asked Aunt Jiang and Ye Mingzhu to take them with them when they went to the Lin residence.
Aunt Jiang and Ye Mingzhu had wry smiles on their faces, and could only follow Lin Zhai's example, asking them to leave in a nice way and closing the door.
Whenever someone knocks on the door again, Lao Hu will definitely ask who it is. If it is someone he doesn't know, he will say that the owner is out and not at home.
Fortunately, the Jiang family didn’t know many people. Although their door was knocked from time to time, very few people were allowed in.
Once Fang came to deliver some newly caught fish to Ye Mingzhu, she was targeted by someone. Fortunately, Fang knew her place was her own business and didn't bring anyone in.
When Jiang Hongyu came back, he saw someone following him at the intersection. He thought the person was looking for him and his face was full of worry.
But after listening to Ye Mingzhu's words, I felt a little amused and helpless.
"Is Fifteenth Uncle's medical skills really that high?"
"Well, I heard that Uncle Fifteen went out to help a pregnant woman with her health a few days ago, and her stomach pain went away the next day."
The most important thing is that ever since Uncle Fifteen took action once, more people have come to the alley entrance to follow me, which is really annoying.
"Fifteenth uncle is still practicing medicine?" Jiang Hongyu felt that the fifteenth uncle she mentioned didn't sound like a human being.
Ye Mingzhu smiled awkwardly. "My uncle Fifteen was just out when the pregnant woman fainted in front of him. It was an emergency, so he had no choice but to help. Later, the family sent a lot of gifts as a thank you."
"Fifteenth Uncle has spread the word that unless the pregnant woman is about to die or pays a huge sum of money, she should not show up here again. Otherwise, he will send her directly to the government office."
Jiang Hongyu raised his eyebrows, wondering how it was such a coincidence that his fifteenth uncle saved someone. The pregnant woman was in an emergency, and his family was wealthy?
"Could it be that the person that Fifteenth Uncle saved was arranged in advance?"
Ye Mingzhu also had some guesses, but after all, that person was an elder from Aunt Jiang's family, so she didn't say it out loud.
Jiang Hongyu guessed from her expression that his fifteenth uncle was a sinister person.
Ye Mingzhu didn't think much about it at first, but her fifteenth uncle came over a few days ago and found an excuse to feel Aunt Jiang's pulse. Knowing that Aunt Jiang couldn't get pregnant, he immediately made a lot of pills and sent them to Uncle Yan.
Not only that, he gave the prescription to Aunt Jiang and only went back after checking that the medicine made by Aunt Jiang was in good condition.
When Uncle Yan went to express his gratitude, he specifically told Uncle Yan that he was the one who taught Jiang Hongyu all his martial arts. Once a teacher, always a father. Although he is not his biological father, the apprentice he taught must be good.
Uncle Yan was deeply moved. He didn't expect Uncle Fifteen to be so understanding. He immediately invited Uncle Fifteen to attend their wedding and sit in the elders' seat.
Ye Mingzhu and Aunt Jiang sat together listening to Uncle Yan say these words. At that time, she had only one thought in her mind: Doctor Zhou was too cruel. She should talk less to him in the future, so as not to be sold by him and have him count the money.
Jiang Hongyu couldn't hold back his laughter when he heard what Ye Mingzhu said, and he burst out laughing.
"Uncle Yan was once the Minister of the Dali Temple. He couldn't be fooled by Uncle Fifteen's tricks. They both knew each other well and were just testing each other."
Ye Mingzhu frowned: "You mean they are just acting for fun."
"It's not necessarily an act, it's probably to reassure Mother. I think Uncle Yan must have known that Mother couldn't have children, so he said that."
Jiang Hongyu didn't ask Uncle Yan, but he judged it from Uncle Yan's condition.
It was too obvious that Aunt Jiang didn't want to have children. How could Uncle Yan not see it? If he wanted to marry Aunt Jiang, this would be an insurmountable hurdle, so Uncle Yan ignored this issue just to be able to marry Aunt Jiang.
Doctor Zhou originally wanted to check on Uncle Yan's condition again, but he was too busy these two days and had no time to look for Uncle Yan.
Lin Dongjia's condition changed, and Doctor Zhou changed her prescriptions three times before her condition stabilized.
He had just left Lin Dong's room and was about to change his clothes when Jiang Hanyu approached him: "Doctor Zhou, I want to abort the baby in my wife's belly. I wonder if you are confident that it will be possible?"
