Chapter 97
97 Miracle Doctor
“Daya! Daya, bad news! Hurry up and follow me to take a look!”
When the village head rushed to the Su family’s house, Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting were sitting in the backyard making slingshots for the three little babies.
The two of them fought fiercely, but they had a good tacit understanding when it came to working.
If not for the village head’s shout, Su Xiaoxiao would have had the illusion that they were really a couple.
“Village Head.” Su Xiaoxiao put down the pulse pressure tube in her hand and stood up.
Wei Ting naturally moved her stool away to prevent her from hitting it. He also picked up the pulse pressure tube that was about to fall to the ground to prevent her from stepping on it.
This series of actions looked ordinary, but it demonstrated an indescribable tacit understanding.
Wei Ting suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Why was he so considerate toward this woman?
He put the stool back where it had been moved and Su Xiaoxiao almost tripped over it!
“Wei Ting!”
Su Xiaoxiao exploded!
Wei Ting said coldly, “Hmph.”
The village head smiled awkwardly and nodded at Wei Ting. “Are the two of you busy?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Oh, I was bored and made some trinkets for the children. Did something happen to Su Yuniang?”
There was probably no other thing that could make the village head come looking for her in a panic at this time.
The village head explained Su Yuniang’s situation. “They’re fighting! Someone’s going to die!”
It was unknown if he was talking about Su Yuniang’s life or Doctor Zhang’s.
—
When Su Xiaoxiao and the village head rushed to the Su family, both parties were arguing about Su Yuniang’s problem.
“I spent five taels of silver to invite you for a consultation! Is this how you treat my sister!”
“That’s because you delayed the treatment time! Moreover, I’ve already told you clearly! My prescription is not wrong! It’s you who got the wrong medicine! Who asked you to buy the medicine from the small shop? Physician Fu? I’ve never heard of him! Those small shops sell fake medicine! Otherwise, they would mix in other items to save cost! You fell for it yourself and blackmailed me! Are you reasonable!”
“What a good way to absolve yourself of responsibility. Could it be that your Rong’en Hall sells real and good medicine?”
Su Xiaoxiao walked in with a powerful aura and a calm voice.
The Su family was very surprised to see her. They looked at the village head beside her and roughly understood what was going on.
The Su family was unhappy. After such a thing happened, the village head actually called an outsider over to watch the commotion.
When Doctor Zhang saw that it was a fat village girl, he did not hide the disdain in his eyes.
“Where did you come from? Of course, the medicine our Rong’en Hall sells is good! Had you gone to Rong’en Hall to get the medicine today, nothing would have happened!”
Old Master Su frowned and said, “Village Head, why did you bring her here? Didn’t I say that there’s no need for the Su family to visit?”
The Su family was the light of the righteous path. The other Su family was like evil demons. Old Master Su had always looked down on their family of three.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t care how the original owner dealt with him. She would not put up with his disdain!
Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly. “If Village Head hadn’t come personally, I wouldn’t have come even if your Su family knelt down and begged me!”
Old Master Su’s expression darkened. “Fatty Su!”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I’m being honest. A life is at stake. If you don’t care about your granddaughter’s life and death, you can continue to argue with me!”
“You don’t know medicine,” Su Jinniang muttered.
“Bring me the dregs of the medicine that Su Yuniang drank!” Su Xiaoxiao said.
Su Jinniang frowned. “Fatty Su, are you ordering me around?”
“I’ll do it, I’ll do it!” The village head also knew that it was not a solution to continue arguing. He smelled the medicine and went to the kitchen to bring out the medicine jar that was still hot.
“Whoosh!”
He placed the medicine jar on the table and quickly pinched his cold ear with his reddened fingers.
Su Xiaoxiao bent down and sniffed, frowning.
Su Jinniang said coldly, “You’re quite good at pretending.”
Mdm Fang came out of Su Yuniang’s room and said to Su Jinniang, “Didn’t I ask you to take care of the child in the Li family? Why are you back?”
Su Jin’s mother said, “I’ve discussed it with Aunt Qian. She’ll help take care of the child for a while.”
Su Xiaoxiao grabbed the hot medicine jar and poured out the dregs.
“Give me the oil lamp.”
She said.
The village head quickly handed her an oil lamp.
Old Master Su glared at the village head.
The village head coughed lightly.
Su Xiaoxiao wrapped her finger in a handkerchief and pulled at the herbs on the table. She said to Doctor Zhang, “Su Yuniang just gave birth and is weak. You actually prescribed such a strong tonic for her and even used angelica! Angelica is meant for improving blood circulation! Do you have any common sense?”
Doctor Zhang’s face turned pale!
This was indeed his prescription, and it had indeed included angelica.
This fat village girl... really knew the Qi Huang technique!
Was there something wrong with this family? There was a doctor in the village, so why did they go to town to invite him?
He had carried the weight of someone’s life for nothing!
Su Xiaoxiao stopped arguing with him. “Where’s Su Yuniang?”
Mdm Fang was already intimidated by Su Xiaoxiao’s aura and subconsciously pointed in.
Su Xiaoxiao drew the curtain and entered the room.
“Fatty Su, you’re not allowed to mess with my sister... ”
Su Jinniang followed her in.
Su Xiaoxiao lifted the blanket and took a look. She grabbed Su Yuniang’s wrist to take her pulse and touched her forehead with her other hand.
Su Yuniang was really unlucky. First, she intercepted an unreliable midwife, and then she encountered an ignorant quack.
Su Xiaoxiao took out a new set of silver needles from her pouch.
This set of silver needles was originally prepared for Father Su. However, ever since she had the black technology bone-strengthening pills from the pharmacy, Su Xiaoxiao felt that Father Su’s hand could recover without acupuncture.
Su Jinniang said coldly, “What are you going to do to my sister? I’m warning you, Fatty Su! This is my house! If you dare to hurt my sister... ”
Noisy!
Su Xiaoxiao pressed her down on the chair and glared at her. “Sit down obediently! Otherwise, I’ll beat you to death!”
This was what Fatty Su often said. She was not just saying it casually. Fatty Su really knew how to beat people up.
Su Jinniang was stunned by Su Xiaoxiao’s sharp gaze and aura.
When Su Xiaoxiao pricked Su Yuniang’s acupoints with silver needles, Su Jinniang wanted to shout, but Su Yuniang miraculously woke up.
Su Yuniang opened her eyes in a daze. “You...”
“Don’t move,” Su Xiaoxiao said solemnly. “I’m going to massage your stomach. You might feel a little uncomfortable. Bear with it.”
Her preliminary deduction was that Su Yuniang’s contractions were weak and she could not expel the blood clot in her uterus, causing her to bleed non-stop. As for the cramp in her abdomen, it was caused by her stomach discomfort.
It was not a big problem at all. If not for this quack prescribing medicine ignorantly, Su Yuniang would not have fainted.
Su Xiaoxiao massaged Su Yuniang to help with the contractions, which was very effective.
Not long after, Su Yuniang felt much better. She looked at Fatty Su in disbelief. To be honest, if it weren’t for the fact that she didn’t have the strength, she would have thrown Fatty Su out the moment she touched her.
She said in a daze, “Fatty Su, you...”
Su Xiaoxiao retracted her hand. “Do you remember how I pressed your belly just now? Get your family to massage you every two hours. You don’t have to take any medicine for the time being. Keep your diet light and it can relieve your gastrointestinal discomfort. I’ll make a prescription for you and you can take your medicine according to it.”
Su Yuniang was so surprised that she could not say a word.
“Do you have a pen and paper at home?” Su Xiaoxiao asked calmly.
Su Yuniang glared at her sister. “Hurry up and get it!”
After being scolded by her sister, Su Jinniang frowned unhappily.
Madam Fang had already entered the room. Like Su Yuniang, she was also shocked by Fatty Su’s actions.
However, this was not the time to be shocked. She said to Su Jinniang, “Didn’t you hear your sister? Go get it!”
Su Jinniang bit her lip and went unwillingly.
“I heard Yuniang’s voice. Is she awake?” Su Dalang pulled Su Jinniang.
“Ask her yourself later!” Su Jinniang shook off her brother’s hand with a dark expression and went to the table in the central room to get a brush and ink. She returned to the room and placed them on the table coldly.
Su Xiaoxiao picked up her pen and wrote a prescription.
She said to Su Yuniang, “Your stomach isn’t feeling well. You have to eat light food. Don’t rush to lactate. You have to take care of your body first.”
When Su Yuniang heard this, her expression froze.
“The prescription is good, and the medicine is also good, but it’s not suitable for Su Yuniang’s condition,” Su Xiaoxiao said as she glanced at the weak Madam Fang. “Give me your hand.”
“Huh?” Mdm Fang was stunned.
Su Yuniang said, “Mother, she wants to take your pulse!”
“Ah, take my pulse!” Mdm Fang handed her hand to Su Xiaoxiao and smiled awkwardly. “Fatty is so good. You even took my pulse.”
After Su Xiaoxiao finished taking Madam Fang’s pulse, she nodded and said seriously, “You have a loss of blood and qi, so you can consume the medicine.”
“Did you hear that? My prescription is a good one... your family can consume it... Ah....”
Outside the house, before Doctor Zhang could finish, he was punched to the ground by Su Dalang.
Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t be bothered to ask how things would end between them and Doctor Zhang.
She returned to the bed and looked at Su Yuniang, who was still in great shock. She extended her chubby hand.
Su Yuniang was confused. “What?”
Su Xiaoxiao hooked her finger and said righteously, “The consultation fee! Did I treat you for nothing? I walked from my house to yours. This is considered a consultation! On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the consultation fee will be doubled! Well, you and your mother will get four times the fee!”
Su Yuniang and Madam Fang were stunned.
