Translator: Endless?antasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The man had no choice but to look for Su Binglan’s help. He had heard of the woman in Stone Village named Li Chunliu, who had a misaligned fetus when giving birth. Su Binglan was the one who had helped her, and both mother and daughter were safe.
The man had gone to check on his wife and thought she would have a smooth childbirth. However, he did not expect her to faint after a few hours. He was so scared that his hands and feet trembled.
He immediately ran to Su Teng Village like a madman, so he did not know how his wife was doing.
“Which village are you from, sir?”
“E-East Rock Village…” The man panted heavily, and his speech was unsteady.
When Su Binglan heard “East Rock Village,” she knew it was nearby Stone
Village. She did not know how the man had traveled to Su Teng Village alone. Fortunately, the weather had been good over the past few days.
It had not snowed, so the roads were relatively clear. Moreover, the moonlight lit up the road for the man to travel in the middle of the night.
Su Binglan said, “Second Brother, go and call Li Su and Erying. Tell them they must follow me to East Rock Village.”
She took her medicine box and drove the carriage out as she spoke.
Shen Qiuhua noticed this and knew her daughter was leaving. She saw the
man at the door and knew what was happening after hearing the news. She said, “I’ll come with you, Binglan.”
After all, Shen Qiuhua was the one who had accompanied her daughter last time.
However, Su Binglan denied her mother’s request. “Mother, you can stay here. Let Wenxiu, Erying, and Li Su come with me instead.”
Su Binglan did not have an assistant last time, so she asked her mother to help. Now that she had female apprentices, she could bring them along instead. She wanted to teach Li Erying and Li Su some practical skills.
Previously, Li Erying and Li Su had only practiced on animals and gathered some knowledge from midwives. However, they had not put their skills into practice.
Moreover, the two lived in Su Teng Village, making it more convenient for Su Binglan to call them for help.
The two girls had gone home for dinner after class but did not sleep afterward. Instead, they studied. Li Erying enjoyed studying, and her family was proud of her.
Now that her family was well off, Old Madam Li and Li Dazhuang told Li
Erying to study without worrying about using candles to light up her room.
Since Jiang Xiaocheng had become Li Eryings sister-in-law, the former treated her husband’s family well. Jiang Xiaocheng often bought plenty of candles whenever she went to the market for Li Erying to study at night.
Sometimes, Jiang Xiaocheng would also make supper for Li Erying before the latter when to bed. Li Erying was grateful to her new sister-in-law. “Don’t tire yourself out, Xiaocheng. You should rest too.”
“l won’t,” Jiang Xiaocheng said smilingly, “You, on the other hand, must study at night. I made you some egg drop soup, so drink it before it gets cold, okay?”
Jiang Xiaocheng looked at her sister-in-law’s severe expression and felt a sense of pride. After all, Li Erying saved many people after the earthquake. Those people even came to thank her later.
Although Li Erying did not want that, Jiang Xiaocheng was happy to hear people praising her sister-in-law. People even started respecting Jiang Xiaocheng and her mother more.
Old Madam Li and Li Dazhuang also treated Miss Jiang well. Naturally, Miss Jiang had to treat them well in return. Jiang Xiaocheng smiled when she thought about her life these days.
However, after putting the egg drop soup on Li Eryings desk, Jiang Xiaocheng suddenly vomited. Li Erying quickly patted her back, asking, “Sister-in-law, are you okay?”
“I’m fine. You don’t have to worry.”
Although Jiang Xiaocheng said so, Li Erying still observed her and said, “Let
me check your pulse, Sister-in-law.”
Jiang Xiaocheng did not think anything was wrong with her since she ate and drank well. Still, Li Erying insisted. She checked on her sister-in-law and exclaimed, “Xiacheng, you’re pregnant! You’re pregnant!”
“R-Really?!” Jiang Xiaocheng was thrilled.
Li Erying checked again to ensure her. “There’s no mistake! You’re pregnant, Sister-in-law.”
Su Wenxiu and Su Binglan taught their apprentices to check pulses and other things. Li Erying was confident she was not wrong when she took her sister-in-law’s pulse.
Li Erying shouted happily, and the whole family came to the room to ask what was happening. No one doubted Li Eryings medical skills and took her word for it.
Li Dazhuang patted his head and said, “l didn’t even suspect it, even though you didn’t have an appetite last night. I didn’t think you were pregnant.”
“Men don’t have experience with childbirth, so you wouldn’t know anyway,” Miss Jiang said with a smile.
Li Erying echoed, “I’ll prescribe Sister-in-law the medicine Miss Su taught me to make. You must pay attention to your daily diet, okay, Sister-in-law?”
Li Erying was logical when talking about this.
Miss Jiang sighed. “Thank goodness we have a doctor at home.”
Old Madam Li smiled and said, “It’s good we decided to let Erying study medicine. Everyone envies her, especially since Miss Su no longer accepts apprentices.”
Miss Jiang added, “It’s also because Erying is hardworking and persistent.
She’s always up until late at night, studying.”
“It helps that Sister-in-law always makes me supper, too,” Li Erying said.
“We’re family, after all,” Jiang Xiaocheng echoed.”
The whole family was thrilled for Jiang Xiaocheng. Li Dazhuang carefully held his wife, yet his clumsy manner made everyone laugh aloud.
Soon after Li Erying finished making medicine for her sister-in-law, Su Wenxiu arrived, telling her about the house call. Li Erying passed the medicine to Li Dazhuang and said, “Brother, give this to Sister-in-law. I’ll go with Miss Su now.”
Li Dazhuang nodded. “Go ahead. Don’t worry about us.”
Li Erying followed Su Binglan, and everyone at home was at ease.
Li Su also studied hard at night. Since Li Mei and Du Xiaoshuan were getting married soon, Li Mei was making clothes at home.
Li Wei usually cared for and made food for Li Su. The two sisters shared a room and lit candles at night. Li Su studied while Li Mei made clothes. Li Wei always cared for Li Su or helped her other sister with something.
Li Wei said, “Big Sister, Little Sister, don’t tire yourselves out and rest early.
Miss Su says we shouldn’t study and make clothes or study under the candlelight because it’s not good for our eyes.”
“You’re always so reasonable.” Li Mei smiled.
“Of course I am, but Li Su is correct to study medicine. Now, Xiaoshuan thinks highly of Li Mei. If you follow Xiaoshuan, others won’t bully or wrong you, Li
Mei.”
“I’ll always support my sisters,” Li Su echoed.”
Li Su followed Su Wenxiu after the earthquake, bandaging many people’s wounds. She had also saved many people, and they were grateful to her. Everyone praised the sisters for their competence.
Everyone even respected Li Mei and her family. Therefore, Li Su felt she had to work harder to support her sisters through her efforts.
Li Mei smiled and said, “Xiaoshuan, his mother, and his sister are okay. Don’t worry about them.”
After some thought, Li Wei added, “That’s true. Xiaoshuan treats you like a treasure now, Li Mei..”
