96 Background (3)
Wei Ting chuckled. “I’m afraid that you’ll dirty my dagger!”
Su Xiaoxiao tilted her head proudly. “Then you can choose not to give it to me. I don’t care. You just care about me!”
Wei Ting ignored her.
Su Xiaoxiao began to peel the tree branches. With a slash, she was stunned.
“Wow! What a fast dagger!”
Could this be the legendary ability to cut iron like mud?
Su Xiaoxiao tried a few more times and was extremely comfortable.
“Wei Ting, what kind of dagger is this?”
“You like it?” Wei Ting asked.
“Yes!” Su Xiaoxiao said honestly.
Wei Ting said indifferently, “Return the token to me and this dagger is for you.”
To hell with it!
So this was his plan!
Su Xiaoxiao was just short of stabbing him.
She thought that he had a conscience and saw that she was struggling to make a slingshot for his sons, so he contributed his dagger to help her.
Ha, she really couldn’t think too highly of men!
….
After the three little ones ran out of the house, they began to run in the snow. They were small, so they ran and disappeared.
Su Ergou dug the three little ones out of the thick snow and sighed. “You guys are not even as tall as the snow, but you insist on coming out to play!”
The three of them didn’t care and wanted to play!
Suddenly, they were attracted by the cries of a baby.
The three of them looked in the direction of the voice.
“What’s wrong?” Su Ergou asked.
Big Tiger said, “Uncle, someone’s crying.”
“Really?” Su Ergou said, “I didn’t hear it.”
“Yes,” said Er Hu.
“Yes!” Xiao Hu heard it too.
Su Ergou scratched his head. “Did you hear wrongly? Who’s crying?”
Two of them grabbed his hand on each side while the third pushed his butt, shoving him toward the Su family.
When he got closer, Su Ergou really heard the cry of a baby.
Su Ergou scratched his head. “What ears do the three of you have? You can hear it from so far away?”
The one crying inside was Su Yuniang’s child.
Su Yuniang had suffered a lot. Ever since she gave birth at night, not to mention her abdominal pain, she had no milk.
The child cried loudly from hunger.
Su Yuniang was extremely frustrated. She asked her brother to go to town to find a doctor with the connections of her sister-in-law’s family, but he had yet to return.
Madam Zhou went to the Li family’s house next door to take a look. She came back and said to Su Yuniang that Madam Zhao had started lactating and there was so much milk that the child could not finish it.
These words were like a knife stabbing into Su Yuniang’s heart.
In order to successfully give birth, Su Yuniang intercepted Madam Zhao’s midwife. In the end, not only did she give birth to a daughter, but she also ended up like this.
What was going on?
Su Yuniang could not bring herself to beg Madam Zhao.
In the end, Mdm Fang couldn’t stand it anymore and carried the child to the Li family.
No matter what Madam Zhao thought of Su Yuniang, the child was innocent. Madam Zhao carried the child over and fed him.
During this period of time, Su Xiaoxiao sent meat to the Li family every few days. Old Li and Madam Qian could not bear to eat it, so they gave it all to Madam Zhao and the two grandchildren. Madam Zhao’s body was well-nourished and she was filled with milk.
After eating and drinking her fill, Su Yuniang’s daughter finally fell asleep sweetly.
Madam Fang was extremely grateful, but when she thought of Yuniang’s actions, she felt a little awkward and embarrassed. “I… I’ll bring her over to feed her later.”
Madam Qian entered the house and said, “Leave her here. It’s snowing heavily. Aren’t children who haven’t reached their full term afraid of freezing? You can bring the child back after Yuniang starts lactating.”
Mdm Fang thought that this was the only way.
“I’ll get Jinniang to come over later.”
Madam Zhao could help feed him, but it was not good to trouble her to change the diapers.
After Madam Fang left, Madam Qian handed the boiled sugar water egg to her daughter-in-law. “Aren’t you angry anymore?”
Madam Zhao shook her head. “I’m not angry anymore. I have to be grateful that Yuniang snatched the midwife away. Otherwise, I would be the one suffering.”
Madam Qian coughed lightly. “You’re not allowed to say this outside.”
Madam Zhao smiled and said, “I know, Mom!”
Madam Qian was a good mother-in-law. Madam Zhao really treated her as her biological mother, so she said whatever she wanted with Madam Zhao. She wouldn’t do the same with outsiders.
It was not until evening that Su Yuniang’s eldest brother finally invited the doctor back.
It was a young doctor in his early twenties.
“Is he reliable at such a young age?” Mdm Fang asked her son softly.
Su Dalang said, “Doctor Lu happened to be going out, so he asked me to get Doctor Zhang.”
The truth was that Yu Niang’s connections were not that useful at all. Doctor Lu was too lazy to treat her, so he asked his disciple to come over.
This disciple had yet to graduate and had only learned a little. In addition, Yuniang was a woman, so it was inconvenient for him to treat her illness. He only took her pulse and prescribed the prescription.
Su Dalang rushed to town to get medicine again.
Rong’en Hall did not open on the first day of the new year. Fortunately, when he went to town to look for a doctor, he saw a small medicine shop that was open so he got the medicine there.
Unexpectedly, not only did Su Yuniang not improve after drinking the bowl of medicine, but she also bled profusely. Her chest felt stuffy and she fainted on the spot!
Mdm Fang hugged her unconscious daughter and screamed, “Yu Niang!”
The Su family panicked.
Seeing that his sister had become like this, Su Dalang went forward and grabbed Doctor Zhang’s lapel. He said angrily, “You quack! I’ll beat you to death!”
Doctor Zhang’s face turned pale and he said seriously, “How am I a quack! I’m a doctor of Rong’en Hall! It’s obvious that the medicine you took is wrong!”
Su Dalang gritted his teeth and said, “I bought it according to the prescription you gave me!”
Doctor Zhang straightened his neck and said, “Then… then the herbs are not good! Many herbs are overdue or inferior! Eating them is like consuming poison! Where did you get the medicine!”
Su Dalang said, “A doctor with the surname Fu.”
