Sister Han is good at farming
Chapter 20: Lady Yan comes to give money
Ruan Qingqing was so exhausted when she ran to the village entrance that she suddenly lunged forward and fell down.
"I can't fall down. Mother and my unborn brothers or sisters are waiting for me to save them!" Ruan Qingqing struggled to get up.
"Oh, isn't this the eldest girl from Ruan Laosi's family? Why is she lying on the ground?" Someone passing by exclaimed.
"Oh, it's really the girl from Ruan Laosi's family! Old man Xue, you're back just in time, why don't you use your ox cart to send her back? Don't let anything happen here?" Someone saw Old man Xue, the cart driver in the village, coming back and hurriedly suggested.
"This..." Old man Xue didn't want to take this hot potato. Who knew that if he kindly sent it back, that scoundrel Ruan Wantie would blackmail him?
Ruan Qingqing, whose consciousness was gradually becoming blurred, heard someone calling out to Old Man Xue. She immediately pulled herself together and got up, rushed to Old Man Xue and banged her head. "Please, Grandpa Xue, take me to the town clinic. My mother is in critical condition. Don't worry, I will definitely pay for the fare. I'm just exhausted, I'll be fine after a rest."
"This..." Old Man Xue sighed, "Come up!"
"Thank you, Grandpa Xue!" Ruan Qingqing struggled to get up, held onto the shaft of the cart, and lay down on it.
Looking at the gradually disappearing figure of Old Man Xue's ox cart, everyone was talking about it.
"This... Is Ruan Laosi's wife dying?"
"She's about to give birth, isn't it a difficult birth?"
People who were listening to the news came closer to ask, and soon more and more people gathered around.
The news that Ruan Laosi's wife was dying spread like wildfire to every corner of Zaoziling.
By the time the ox cart reached the town, Ruan Qingqing had basically calmed down. "Grandpa Xue, which clinic in town has the best doctor?"
"Doctor Li in the Baoan Hall in the town is a very skilled doctor. His consultation fees and medicines are very cheap. He is the most trusted and respected doctor by the folks in Zaoziling and the surrounding villages. I just don't know if he is seeing patients."
As human life was at stake, Old Man Xue did not dare to be vague and quickly told everything he knew.
"Let's go to Bao'antang and try our luck first!" Ruan Qingqing said helplessly.
Fortunately, Doctor Li happened to be seeing patients in the clinic. After hearing Ruan Qingqing's description, he immediately put down his work, picked up some medicinal herbs, put on his medicine box and followed Ruan Qingqing.
At Ruan Qingqing's home, Old Mrs. Ruan and Mrs. Liu were busy inside, one boiling water and the other preparing items for delivery.
Ruan Wantie stood at the door with a dazed look on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Ruan Shiping, Ruan Shian and Ruan Lanlan were driven to the yard and stood there. One stared at Ruan Wantie fiercely, one kept burping, and Ruan Lanlan lowered her head and clutched the corner of her clothes tightly with both hands.
Ruan Qingqing jumped off the ox cart before it stopped and hurried towards her younger brothers and sisters in the yard.
"Big brother, second brother, second sister, how is mother?"
Ruan Shiping pursed his lips and said nothing.
"Sister." Ruan Lanlan seemed to have found her backbone, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Grandma said that Mom fell pretty hard."
Ruan Shian's sobbing became louder and louder.
"Don't be afraid, I've asked Doctor Li to come over, everything will be fine." Ruan Qingqing comforted her softly.
As soon as she calmed her brothers and sisters down, she shouted into the house, "Grandma, I've asked Doctor Li to come over. Is it convenient for him to come in now?"
"Come in!" Old Mrs. Ruan sighed.
After receiving the affirmation, Ruan Qingqing made a gesture to invite Doctor Li. "Doctor Li, thank you for your help!"
Doctor Li stroked his beard and nodded.
But after a while, he came out.
"My child, your mother's health is seriously weakened, and now that she has had a miscarriage, I'm afraid both the adult and the child may not survive."
Ruan Qingqing begged him, "Doctor Li, everyone says you are the best doctor in this area. Please save my mother and my unborn brother or sister, no matter how precious the herbs are!"
"No matter how precious it is?" Doctor Li hesitated.
"Well, no matter how precious it is!" Ruan Qingqing nodded heavily.
"You can give the hundred-year-old ginseng a try. But let me make it clear to you first. Even if the two children in your mother's belly are born, they will most likely die if they are not carefully taken care of."
"Doctor Li, please give it a try! I will find a way to earn hope for my brothers and sisters no matter what!" Ruan Qingqing said firmly.
"Daya..." Ruan Wantie next to him wanted to say something.
"Shut up!" Ruan Qingqing yelled at him with red eyes and ignored him.
"Daya, why don't you just save your mother? Your brothers and sisters will be there for you in the future once your mother recovers." After hesitating for a while, Old Mrs. Ruan finally advised.
"Let them be born safely first! We can talk about the future later." Ruan Qingqing said with a tired face.
Doctor Li looked at her in surprise and nodded. "I know what to do."
After a period of chaos, with a cry of "wa", Ruan Qingqing's heart, which had been tense all day, finally relaxed.
"Fourth brother's wife, try harder, there is another baby in your belly!" Liu screamed in the house.
"I... I have no strength left." Wang cried.
Ruan Qingqing's worry, which had just been put at ease, was lifted up again. She looked pleadingly at Doctor Li who was sitting next to her drinking tea.
Doctor Li sighed, opened the medicine box, and took out two slices of ginseng.
"Give this to your mother!"
"Thank you, Doctor Li. I will return this and the previous amount of silver to you in time!" Ruan Qingqing said as she hurried to the delivery room with the ginseng slices.
This time the waiting time was even longer. The cold wind blew on her face, biting her bones. It seemed that her ears would be blown off by the wind in the next moment, but Ruan Qingqing's palms were covered with a layer of sweat, and the clothes on her back were wet again and again.
"Wow!"
When the faint crying sound like a kitten's cry rang out, Ruan Qingqing's body suddenly relaxed and she slid straight to the ground. She wanted to cry and laugh at the same time.
In the end, the lives of the original mother and brother and sister-in-law were saved!
"Little girl, your mother and your sister-in-law are safe for now, but your mother is in a very weak condition. It's best for her to eat some fine food to keep warm, otherwise it will affect her lifespan. Your twin brother and sister, who were born prematurely, are weaker than ordinary babies. Remember to take good care of them and don't neglect them at all."
After the delivery room was cleaned up, Doctor Li took the pulse of Wang, mother and child respectively, and then gave Ruan Qingqing detailed instructions.
"Thank you, Doctor Li, for saving my life!" Ruan Qingqing hurriedly expressed her gratitude.
"The total cost of this consultation is ten taels, and the bulk of it is in the ginseng," Doctor Li explained.
Ruan Qingqing looked at Old Lady Ruan, "Grandma, can I borrow ten taels of silver from you first? I'll write you an IOU and pay you back within a year!"
Old Lady Ruan stammered, "Ten taels, I don't have that much silver."
When Ruan Qingqing was thinking about whether to borrow money from the hunter Chi, an uninvited guest came to their house - Madam Yan.
"Ruan Qingqing, right? We haven't paid you for the drawings you provided to my boss. Here, I brought them here today. Keep them!"
Ruan Qingqing took a look and found that it was exactly ten taels, not more or less.
"Thank you Aunt Yan for your timely help!"
