Guan Xiyue took a deep breath and lay on the bed.
“It’s done,” Su Li said.
Guan Xiyue opened her eyes and said, “So soon?”
She thought that it would take a long time, but she did not expect that Su Li would be done not long after lying down.
Su Li took off her gloves and threw them aside. She wrote Guan Xiyue’s symptoms on the medical record.
Guan Xiyue’s condition was a little serious. Her Qi and blood were deficient, and her spleen and kidneys were deficient. Her menstrual periods were irregular, and her blood flow was low. Her stomach had to be kept warm, and she was pale…
There were too many symptoms. Infertility was a very complicated illness to begin with. Now, with Guan Xiyue’s various symptoms, it undoubtedly increased the difficulty of treatment.
“Physician Su, can I still be treated?” Guan Xiyue asked.
In order to reassure Guan Xiyue, Su Li smiled and said, “It’s not like you have an incurable illness. Of course, you can be treated. However, you have to nourish your Qi and blood first to strengthen your spleen and kidney. This process is a little long. I wonder if you have the patience?”
Even with acupuncture, Guan Xiyue’s treatment time would not be shortened much. Now, she was arranging treatment for Guan Xiyue that would last half a year’s time.
Guan Xiyue hurriedly nodded. “I do! I’ve survived for so many years. It doesn’t matter if it takes a while.
As long as she could get pregnant, no matter how painful it was, she could endure it.
Su Li prescribed two prescriptions for Guan Xiyue first. “Take the medicine according to these two prescriptions first. I’ll personally concoct pills for you after some time.
The pills she had concocted could not be bought outside. She had made those pills according to the symptoms of each patient.
She also taught Guan Xiyue how to calculate her ovulation period. If she wanted to get pregnant, the chances of her getting pregnant during the ovulation period would be much higher.
Guan Xiyue held Su Li’s hand tightly. “Physician Su, if I can get pregnant, I will definitely visit you personally to thank you.”
Su Li waved her hand. “That’s not necessary.”
“Madam, are you done? Old Madam wants both of you to go over to eat.” A maidservant’s voice sounded from outside the door.
It turned out that Old Madam Sun felt that Su Li had been diagnosing Guan Xiyue for too long and that she was a little bored alone, so she sent someone to rush her.
“Alright, let’s go over now.” Guan Xiyue said to Su Li, “Physician Su, let’s go eat first!”
“Okay.”
Su Li thought of Guan Xiyue’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship and couldn’t help but say, “It’s best if you can be in a relaxed environment. If you’re too nervous or overjoyed, it won’t be good for pregnancy. ”
If she was too nervous, not to mention pregnant, the quality of her sleep would decrease!
“I know. Thank you, Physician Su.” Guan Xiyue was touched.
Su Li was the first person to say such things to her. Even her biological mother advised her to endure it. After all, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had always been like this since ancient times. Other than tolerating it, she had no other choice. One could only hoped that she could endure until the day she became someone’s mother-in-law.
Sun Yuangui was not at home, so only Su Li and Guan Xiyue were eating.
The meal was quite enjoyable. Old Madam Sun looked at Su Li with a smile and even picked food for her from time to time.
Old Madam Sun was a person who kept her word. After dinner, she got someone to bring over the ten taels of silver for the consultation fees that she had agreed on last time. She also added the consultation fees for Guan Xiyue this time.
Su Li looked at the sky. It was getting late. She had to quickly buy something and rush back.
Su Li bade farewell. “Since Old Madam Sun has nothing else to say, I’ll take my leave first.
“Don’t you want to sit a little longer?”
Old Madam Sun was quite reluctant to part with Su Li. She had found a sense of familiarity with Su Li. In the past, no one had been willing to listen to her nagging.
Su Li declined politely. “I still have something on at home, so it’s not convenient for me to stay any longer.”
Old Madam Sun knew that she still had two children at home, so she did not force her to stay. She sent her to the door and instructed Sun Ming to send Su Li back later.
Old Madam Sun looked at Su Li’s back and sighed. “She’s really lucky. The moment she gave birth, she gave birth to two boys.”
Guan Xiyue did not reply. She lowered her head with an unknown expression.
Old Madam Sun felt that it was meaningless to stay, so asked the servants to rush the carriage over to prepare for her return.
Guan Xiyue heaved a sigh of relief as she watched Old Madam Sun leave. Fortunately, her mother-in-law did not live with them. Otherwise, she would be out of breath every day.
There were no more ingredients for the fragrant soap, so Su Li went to the pork shop to buy some lard.
Zhu Cai saw Su Li smiling. “Miss, are you buying lard again?”
He had been waiting so long and Su Li had finally arrived!
Su Li nodded. “How much do you have today?”
This time, she planned to buy a few hundred catties back. It just so happened that Sun Ming could help her pull it back.
Zhu Cai knew that Su Li was a rich and generoud person. He chuckled and said, “There’s only 50 catties today. I didn’t know you were coming. If not I’d prepare more for you.”
If he had known that Su Li was coming, he would definitely have prepared 100 to 200 catties today. He wasn’t a bastard who didn’t want to earn money!
Su Li looked at the quality and saw that the pig lard was not bad. She said, “I want them all.”
These 50 catties were not enough. She had to buy more elsewhere.
Now, there were too few people who bought so many things at once. He had to treat such a God of Fortune well.
Su Li nodded. There were quite a lot of pig intestines given to her for free this time. Should she bring them back and braise them before setting up a stall? “Miss, may I ask why you always buy so much lard?” Zhu Cai looked curious.
She couldn’t drink lard like water, could she?
Su Li did not intend to answer his question. She glanced at him. “Why did you ask if you knew it was presumptuous?”
“Erm…” Zhu Cai choked on his words. However, as someone with social atrocities, he quickly changed the topic.
“It’s definitely not easy for you to carry so many things. I’ll get someone to send them to your car.”
“Alright.” Su Li nodded.
Zhu Cai pulled his fat son over and introduced him to Su Li. “This is my son, Zhu Wangfa. He’s about the same age as you. Not only is he diligent, but he’s also sensible and filial. Now, he can even kill pigs himself. In a few years, when I’m old, I’ll let him inherit this pork shop. I’ll get him to send the things over for you later.”
Zhu Cai was like a matchmaker, trying his best to promote his son, afraid that Su Li would look down on him.
Su Li glanced at Zhu Wangfa. This Zhu Wangfa and Zhu Caifa were simply printed from the same mold. His entire body was fat, and his face was filled with a lot of flesh. He had a straight face now and looked like someone that should not be provoked. If Zhu Caifa hadn’t said that he was someone who slaughtered pigs, she would have thought that Zhu Wangfa was a murderer! It had to be said that the life of a butcher was indeed good. Look at how fat the father and son were.
Zhu Cai then introduced her to Zhu Wangfa. “This is the girl I often mentioned to you. Look at how prosperous she looks.”
Zhu Wangfa glared at Su Li. It was all this fat woman’s fault. If not for her interfering, he would have married Li Hua long ago..
