Some things are easy for Xiaocao to solve, but sometimes he is quite helpless and at a loss.
Yan looked at Xiaocao, who was sharp-tongued and calm before, and now even felt a little pitiful because of being pestered, and couldn't help laughing. Needless to say, her favorability towards Xiaocao was rising rapidly. She stepped forward and pulled Wenrenxi, "Xijie, your fourth sister has been busy for so long and hasn't had dinner yet. If you have anything to say, you can talk slowly later. We are all family and have plenty of time."
"Yes, yes, let's eat. Fourth sister must be starving." Then he hurriedly pulled Xiaocao and went out.
Of course, Xiaocao was not the only one who didn't have her meal. After she went out, she was told that the eldest lady had sent someone to deliver a table of food which had just been served.
Yan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is still very thoughtful."
The three of them had dinner in peace and quiet. Tonight was supposed to be a lively family dinner, but it was messed up like this. Yan wanted to say something, but seeing that Xiaocao didn't seem to take it to heart at all, she didn't say anything.
Not long after the meal, Han came over.
Han first asked about Du's situation, and was relieved to learn that she was fine. In her opinion, their second uncle was a piece of shit, but as the eldest sister-in-law, there were some things she couldn't say.
"Mom, where is my second uncle?" Xiaocao had no such concerns at all.
"Your grandmother asked your father to beat him with a stick, and he is still kneeling in the ancestral hall."
"Oh." Xiaocao responded indifferently. In her opinion, it was too light. However, it was rare for her grandmother to do this. If it were another family, most people would not take it seriously. Even if the daughter-in-law was dead, she would be dead.
Seeing Xiaocao's reaction, Han felt a little headache. It seemed that this girl was a person who hated evil. However, Han felt sorry for her daughter. Besides, her mother-in-law was not angry with her daughter. She had said to them before, "You should take care of the fourth girl's temper. It's okay if she speaks harshly at home, but the people she will come into contact with in the future will be different from before. Once you offend them, you may even lose your life." Naturally, Han didn't have the heart to lecture her.
In the final analysis, it was just that her daughter was a little bit stubborn and had a kind heart. Was that wrong? As a mother, how could she bear to force her to smooth out her edges in order to adapt to this upper-class circle? It was one thing to train her from childhood, and it was another to force her to change in the middle of the process. If she couldn't make her sophisticated and tactful, then she could only do her best to take care of her.
Xiao Cao suddenly became somewhat sentimental towards her mother, inexplicably. Although she was puzzled, she did not want to clarify. "Mom, I'll go see grandma. She probably didn't eat anything tonight."
"Well, I didn't eat much. You might as well go and take a look. Go earlier and go back to rest earlier."
Xiao Cao nodded, then turned around and said, "Fifth sister, if your mother has anything to do in the evening, please send someone to call me."
"I understand. Thank you, Fourth Sister."
Xiaocao went to the old lady, who asked about Mrs. Du's situation and said nothing more.
Xiaocao has always been very considerate when treating patients. Without saying much, she gave her a massage as usual. When the time was almost up, she specifically told the servants about the old lady's meal the next morning.
The second day after returning to the Wenren Family was not at all relaxing.
Without Han's presence, Xiaocao sent the servants away and still stood in front of Xue Tingyu's spirit tablet for a long time.
Xiao Cao guessed that even if she didn't bring it up, her parents would probably look into Ting Yu's affairs. She didn't know if he was born in a wealthy family in the imperial city. If so, they should be able to find out something. If not...
Xiaocao took a deep breath and turned over to go to sleep.
Xiaocao has no problem choosing her bed and sleeps well at night.
Now that there are two patients in this family, they are naturally given priority.
The old lady was very angry yesterday and beat her son. But after a night's sleep, her anger had almost subsided. She didn't keep Xiaocao for long and asked her to go and see Mrs. Du. So, this old lady doesn't talk much, but she has a really good heart.
This time when he went to the second room, Mrs. Du's youngest daughter was also there. The ten-year-old girl was well-behaved and cute. When she saw Xiaocao, she called out to her in a crisp voice.
Xiao Cao touched the little girl's head and said, "Be good."
Wenren Xi stood nearby, her eyes and eyebrows smiling. She treated Xiao Cao as warmly as Wenren Ying did. The difference was that she was completely sincere.
"How was Second Aunt last night?"
"Very well. He woke up once around Chou time, took some medicine and ate some food, including this morning. He looks much better." The key point is that he looks completely different from before, which is definitely what Wenren Xi is happy to see.
Xiao Cao entered the room. Mrs. Du was sitting on the bed. When she saw her, she smiled and said, "Sister Xuan is here."
"Second Aunt, how do you feel?"
"Good, very good." In fact, even though she was not feeling well, she felt more relaxed than ever before.
Xiaocao felt her pulse, asked about all aspects of her condition carefully, adjusted the prescription, and then reminded the people who were serving her of some precautions, saying that she should not be careless as she was in poor health and had to recuperate after the baby was born.
Seeing that Xiaocao was almost done with her work, Mrs. Du asked her second daughter to take the younger girl out, leaving only the mother, who was the one who had served her in the beginning.
Xiaocao knew that she had something to say, so she waited quietly.
Mrs. Du pondered for a moment and asked, "Xuan Jie'er, is it true that I can no longer have children in the future?"
The emotions on Xiaocao's face quickly faded, "Aunt, do you have a deep love for Uncle, or are you as obsessed with your son as he is? If that's the case, then Aunt, don't worry. I still have confidence in my medical skills. If you want to ignore your own health and try again, you might really get what you want." She said with a hint of sarcasm unconsciously.
Wen Renxi, who was eavesdropping at the door, couldn't help but rush in, "Mom, what are you thinking about?"
The mother next to her was also anxious.
Mrs. Du was helpless, "Xijie, what are you yelling about?" She looked at Xiaocao, "Xuanjie, you misunderstood me. I was thinking that even if I told others that I had an accidental miscarriage and was seriously injured and could not have children again, what if your second uncle did not believe it and invited a doctor from outside? Then you would not be able to get any good results. I know that you really care about your second aunt, and I can't let you suffer your second uncle's anger for all the hard work. I am afraid that your grandmother will also be unhappy and blame you."
Xiao Cao's expression improved a lot. "Don't worry, Second Aunt, if I say I can't have a baby, then naturally I can't have a baby. No matter who comes, the result will be the same." After a pause, "It won't hurt your body."
"Then I feel relieved." Mrs. Du said with a smile.
She is really a girl who shows everything on her face. However, this kind of girl who only stands on the patient's side and ignores other things, and who immediately loses face if the patient does not listen to the doctor's advice and mistreats her, is really likable no matter how you look at her.
