Chapter 400: Just Met
Doctor Zhou was instantly annoyed: "What do you mean?"
Jiang Hanyu pulled the corners of his mouth, without a trace of smile on his face: "Doctor Zhou, tell me the truth, how long can the baby in my wife's belly be kept? Will this child, will it..."
Before he could finish his words, Doctor Zhou already understood what he meant.
"Given the current situation, it's certainly difficult for your wife's baby to reach full term, but it should still be possible for the baby to be born healthy. The most important thing is that your wife wants to keep the baby."
When Dr. Zhou changed the first prescription, Lin Dongjia told him that no matter what the cost, she hoped Dr. Zhou would help her keep the child.
To show her sincerity, she immediately asked her wet nurse to give Doctor Zhou a silver note worth five hundred taels.
Doctor Zhou did not accept any bills. Although he loved money, he made it in a proper way. He was invited by Jiang Hanyu this time, and Mr. Lin was his patient, so he would not accept a single cent.
"I have already promised your wife that I would keep the child. Now you want me to abort it. Have you discussed this with your wife?" Doctor Zhou knew that there was a problem between the couple the day he arrived, but he was only responsible for treating the illness and didn't care about anything else. But now the two of them disagree, and in order to avoid subsequent problems, he decided to let them solve the problem first.
Jiang Hanyu: "...I'm afraid this child will kill my wife."
Doctor Zhou nodded calmly: "Your wife is already five months pregnant. If you remove the baby now, she will be half dead."
Jiang Hanyu hammered hard on the pillar next to him: "Is there no other way?"
"If you had wanted to remove the baby in your wife's belly two months ago, it wouldn't have caused much harm to her. But now, the baby is too big. Besides, I don't think your wife would allow anyone to remove her baby."
Doctor Zhou could see that Mrs. Lin loved the baby in her belly very much, so she cooperated so well with taking the medicine.
Jiang Hanyu's eyes bulged as he stared at Doctor Zhou. "Doctor Zhou, you just said that the child could be saved. What about the adult? Will the adult be safe?"
"When a woman gives birth, she has one foot in the grave. Your wife giving birth to this child is like having two feet in the grave. I mean, if you induce labor when the child is over seven months old, the remaining child will be weaker, but your wife's physical damage will be minimized."
This was a plan that Dr. Zhou had been thinking about for several days. Before he had the chance to tell Jiang Hanyu, Jiang Hanyu came to him.
"Okay, then I'll listen to Doctor Zhou. Just make sure my wife is in good health." Jiang Hanyu nodded hurriedly.
"I have to tell you in advance that if you induce labor at seven months, although it can save your wife's life, the child will be weak and must be well cared for. Moreover, no one can guarantee whether your wife can give birth in the future."
According to Doctor Zhou's previous temper, he would not say these things, but after seeing Uncle Yan's true feelings for Aunt Jiang, he suddenly wanted to test Jiang Hanyu with these words.
"I will send someone to find a midwife and two wet nurses, and bring them to the house in advance to ensure that the child has milk to drink as soon as he is born." Jiang Hanyu avoided the question of Lin Dongjia's inability to have children in the future. He was really not in the mood to think about this issue at the moment.
Doctor Zhou grinned. As expected, there were very few men in this world who could accept a woman not having children. Even he couldn't guarantee it.
After this incident, he no longer wanted to test Uncle Yan. After all, he had said that he didn't want children, and he would make it impossible for him to have children even if he wanted them in the future.
Doctor Zhou was busy treating Lin Dongjia, and the Jiang family had already prepared all the arrangements for the wedding.
Uncle Yan originally wanted to be more high-profile and found a sedan chair carried by eight people to pick up Aunt Jiang, but she refused.
Not to mention that she was already a second-time bride, there was a gynecologist living next door to her house. She didn't know how many people were staring at them, and she didn't want to become the topic of conversation after dinner.
The two agreed to use an ordinary red sedan to pick up Aunt Jiang, and then have the wedding ceremony at Uncle Yan's house. It would be more lively there, and there wouldn't be any big noise here.
As expected, man proposes, God disposes. As soon as Aunt Jiang's sedan chair left the house, Doctor Zhou's medicine boy found a string of firecrackers from somewhere and lit them, making such a big noise that all the neighbors came to check.
The little medicine boy smiled and said, "It's a nice day today, let's set off some firecrackers for a good omen."
These words left people confused, and several people surrounded the little medicine boy to ask if there was any good news.
Ye Mingzhu and Jiang Hongyu, who were about to go out, were stopped at the door by the sound of firecrackers.
"Fifteenth Uncle, can you ask your little medicine boy to get everyone away?"
Jiang Hongyu said through gritted teeth.
A group of people gathered at the door next door, and as soon as they went out, they immediately became conspicuous.
Doctor Zhou was also a little helpless. He had originally planned to set off firecrackers when Aunt Jiang went out, but he miscalculated the time and set off the firecrackers too late, blocking himself at the door.
Finally, it was Ye Mingzhu who came up with an idea. She asked Lao Hu to go out and spread the news that Dr. Zhou was going to the pharmacy to look for the right person today.
In just a few breaths, everyone who received the news left.
Doctor Zhou looked at Ye Mingzhu and asked, "What do you mean by destined person?"
Ye Mingzhu smiled slyly, "There are many pregnant women giving birth in our town every day. Among them, there are always some who are not in good condition. But not everyone can afford to ask Uncle Fifteen for help. Today is a good day for mother. Uncle Fifteen will go to the pharmacy later. If there are any pregnant women who are not in good condition, you can help treat them."
"You want me to provide free medical treatment?" Doctor Zhou understood what she meant.
Although Ye Mingzhu wanted to get those people to leave, she also sincerely suggested that Dr. Zhou provide free medical treatment.
She heard Aunt Jiang talk about the severity of Lin Dongjia's illness, and she also knew that Doctor Zhou's medical skills were much better than Aunt Jiang's.
It would be great if Dr. Zhou would be willing to provide one or two free clinics when he has time.
"Today is a good day for Xiaowu, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to provide a free clinic." Doctor Zhou thought it would be a good idea to accumulate some blessings for Aunt Jiang, so he readily agreed.
Ye Mingzhu was just testing the waters, but she didn't expect Doctor Zhou to actually agree. It seemed that Doctor Zhou valued his niece, Aunt Jiang, very much.
"Okay, stop talking and go to Yan Hao first. The auspicious time is almost here." After Doctor Zhou finished speaking, he took the lead in opening the gate and walked out.
Uncle Yan had already set up a banquet with two tables of guests. One table was for the neighbors, and the other table was for Yu Jiaming and Xiaowu.
Ye Mingzhu suddenly realized that she had not seen them for a long time. She also missed her own farm and wondered how her sweet potatoes were growing.
Yu Jiaming and Xiaowu stood up with a smile. Xiaowu patted Jiang Hongyu and said, "You didn't even tell us about such a happy event. But we are lucky to have encountered it."
