Heavenly Blessed Baby: Fleeing Famine, Busy to Prosper!-Chapter 46: You Mustn’t Take Things From Others Anymore
Seeing red in a pregnant woman is no small matter.
Very soon, Qin Minglang was called over.
After taking the pulse, Qin Minglang’s expression wasn’t very good.
"Doctor Qin, how is my wife? How’s the child? Will there be any complications?"
The husband of the pregnant woman was already sweating profusely, his eyes red with anxiety.
Qin Minglang shook his head, handed the pulse stone to his apprentice, and said, "The fetus has moved, and there’s been bleeding; she needs to rest well and take medication to stabilize the pregnancy."
"Then, then quickly prescribe the medicine!"
The man hurriedly urged.
Qin Minglang looked at him with a complex expression: "Some of the herbs required for the medication, I’m still missing a few."
"I have some here."
Yin Cheng’s voice suddenly chimed in.
He was being supported by Qi Dafu, with Qi Quanjin following while holding a child.
After eating, Yin Cheng said he wanted to take a stroll.
Qi Zheng worried about his safety in the hills, so he asked Qi Dafu to support him.
Who would have thought that Qi Manman, who just ate to her fill, would want to come along?
Yi Meng wanted to stay and help tidy up, so she couldn’t follow.
Qi Zheng and Mrs. Qi wanted to come along, but they were too exhausted from the day’s events.
Also, in the mountains, they needed help when walking.
In the end, with no choice, Qi Quanjin carried the little girl and came out.
Not far out, Yin Cheng saw someone hurriedly fetching Qin Minglang, and out of curiosity, he followed.
Only when he got there did he hear Qin Minglang saying there weren’t enough herbs for the pregnancy-stabilizing medicine.
"Senior Brother."
As soon as Qin Minglang saw Yin Cheng, he asked, "The situation with this pregnant woman requires medication to stabilize the pregnancy. I don’t know how many herbs you have; if not many, I’ll go collect some more tomorrow morning."
"Enough to last her for half a month easily."
Yin Cheng said as he approached the pregnant woman.
As an old doctor with many years of practice, upon seeing a patient, he instinctively wanted to take a look.
After taking her pulse, he glanced suspiciously at Qin Minglang.
This woman indeed had a disturbed fetus, but it wasn’t as severe as to warrant such concern. A few doses of medication and proper rest should suffice.
Yet Qin Minglang’s expression earlier had been very serious.
After not exchanging medical knowledge for years, had his skills regressed?
With doubts in mind, Yin Cheng didn’t mention them, instead rising and heading towards the Qi Family, saying as he walked, "Let’s go, come with me to get the herbs."
"Yes."
Qin Minglang bowed slightly and followed in Yin Cheng’s footsteps.
The onlookers were quite intrigued.
Doctor Qin was previously the only doctor in their village and had returned here to retire. His medical skills were, to be honest, quite impressive.
So the villagers had a lot of respect for the doctor.
Seeing someone usually so respected by them showing such respect to another person made them all the more curious.
"Did you hear? Just now, Doctor Qin called that old man the Qi Family brought back his senior brother. Wow, is the Qi Family going to have a doctor in their home now?"
"The Qi Family is really going to prosper, they even have a doctor living with them. I’ve heard only wealthy families can afford that!"
The villagers whispered among themselves.
Qi Quanjin frowned upon hearing such things as he carried Qi Manman away.
The Qi Family was dirt poor, yet they supposedly had a doctor staying with them?
Such a thing was something the Qi Family wouldn’t even dare dream about, yet others spoke so boldly as if it were true.
He didn’t bother to explain further, though.
Instead, Qi Manman hugged her father’s neck and said in her sweet, childish voice, "Have a doctor, Daddy, have a doctor."
"You little girl, having a doctor costs a lot of silver, and we don’t have that much silver. Besides, if we did, it would first go to buying pretty fabric for Manbao to make skirts, as well as some sweets and treats, right?"
If he had said this to any of the ten sons at home, it wouldn’t have been convincing at all.
But saying it to his own daughter, Qi Quanjin was full of confidence.
With how the whole family adored their daughter, they might even find a way to pluck the stars from the sky if Manbao wanted them.
Daughters are wonderful!
Daughters are truly wonderful!
Soft, fragrant, and wrapping her little arms around his neck, sweetly calling "Daddy."
It was just, everything was so good!
Qi Quanjin, feeling elated, strolled around a large area with his daughter in his arms before returning to their place.
Mrs. Qi had already been helped into the cave to rest by the other two daughters-in-law, while Yi Meng sat outside by the fire doing needlework, occasionally glancing around as if waiting for someone.
It wasn’t until the sound of his daughter’s giggles grew nearer that Yi Meng hurriedly put down her needlework and got up to greet them.
At this moment, Qi Manman was holding a pile of things, giggling non-stop.
"Oh my, where did all this come from?"
Yi Meng was startled by the heap her daughter was hugging.
The little girl’s arms were small, making it look like she was holding a lot when she had just a few things.
Upon closer inspection, there were small pouches, rattles, and wild fruits in her arms.
Qi Quanjin felt a bit helpless and, seeing his wife’s question, could only honestly answer, "They were given by the villagers. Our daughter’s mouth seems to have grown up coated in honey."
Being diplomatic and courteous.
Qi Quanjin didn’t say this out loud, afraid his wife might hit him if he did.
Yi Meng was momentarily stunned, then quickly understood.
She collected the items from her child’s arms and then playfully scolded, "You too, taking things when everyone’s having a hard time at home. You have some nerve, don’t you?"
"I didn’t mean to take them! But, but I was holding our daughter, and they just stuffed things into her arms, I couldn’t block it!"
Qi Quanjin felt quite aggrieved.
He really did try to decline and block, but...
It was impossible to stop.
Yi Meng gave him a glare, placed the items into Qi Quanjin’s arms, and took their daughter over.
"Manbao, in the future, you can’t take other people’s things, understand?"
Yi Meng sternly taught her daughter.
It wasn’t that she wanted to be harsh with the child, but this era had so many maddening rules.
You never know when something might turn into some sort of token later.
Their daughter was such a lovable little one and might be taken advantage of if they weren’t careful.
Qi Manman wrapped her arms around her mother’s neck, planted a kiss on her cheek, then nodded, "Mommy, Manbao knows now! Manbao won’t take things from others in the future."
"Good girl!"
Yi Meng’s heart melted instantly.
This child was truly too well-behaved.
