Chapter Ninety-Eight: Treating Sister-in-law Lin
Hearing this, Bai Qian's eyes sank, it seems that Brother Lin's family is really short of money, and is about to give them ideas, just about to open his mouth when he hears Sister-in-law Lin say in a nervous tone: "What, Bai girl, the child's father will definitely not delay your errands, and when he comes back, I will tell him to stop doing it, and the money you gave is already a lot." ”
It turned out that she was worried that her man would take the money for a job like this and go to do something else, and Bai Qianning would be unhappy.
Hearing this, Bai Qianning took her hand and said with a smile: "Where is my sister-in-law, Brother Lin is using the time he goes home to work, and he doesn't delay my work at all, but in this way, he is too hard, I guess I have to find you another more stable and profitable livelihood." ”
"White girl, does this mean you have an idea?"
Sister-in-law Lin was overjoyed, and the hideous birthmark on her face was also wrinkled.
Even so, Bai Qianning didn't feel that it was so ugly, on the contrary, she seemed to see the freshness of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl on the face of this woman who was nearly thirty years old, maybe this is what can only be maintained when she meets the right man.
Bai Qianning thought like this, so he nodded, and only said: "This matter, when Brother Lin comes back later, we will discuss it in the long run, right now I am here to see a doctor for you, isn't Brother Lin working so hard just to cure your body as soon as possible?" If you are in good health and Brother Lin is a diligent craftsman, your family's life will definitely get better and better. ”
Hearing Bai Qianning say this, Sister-in-law Lin seemed to see the dawn on her face, turned her head to look at the two sons who were crowded in the corner playing with stones, and then turned her head and asked, "Will the white girl be cured?" It's just that many doctors can't cure my disease, but I'm afraid it's ......."
"How do you know if you don't try?" Bai Qianning smiled, turned over the hand she was holding and began to take the pulse.
After a while, he asked, "Did the birthmark on your face also grow after giving birth?" ”
"Well, yes, that's right, once upon a time, my face ......" Sister-in-law Lin's expression changed from joy, and fell into deep memories, and she put her hand on her face, but quickly retracted her senses: "Forget it, don't mention the past, in short, since giving birth to these two children, this body bone and this face are completely ruined." ”
Hearing her say this, Bai Qianning has been carefully observing her silhouette and facial features, I am afraid that she was not only not ugly in the past, but also a great beauty in ten miles and eight villages.
It's no wonder that I heard Aunt Xu say that she always doesn't like to go out now, if she was born ugly, she has probably gotten used to it over the years, but if she used to be a great beauty, and now she has become like this, it is really the most painful blow.
Thinking of this, Bai Qianning patted her palm twice with her right hand, and said comfortingly: "Sister-in-law, don't make up your mind so quickly, your illness can't be cured by other doctors, but it doesn't mean that I can't cure it either, my ancestor is a famous miracle doctor, and the bruises on your body and face are handed over to me." ”
"Really?"
Sister-in-law Lin was a little incredulous.
"Don't worry, and I can let you see the effect today, but you may have to suffer a little."
Bai Qianning nodded at her with firm eyes and said.
"I'm not afraid to endure hardships, I can take any bitter medicine."
Aunt Xu took her hand as if she was afraid that Bai Qianning would regret it, and she was very excited.
Seeing this, Bai Qianning smiled, and said: "The medicine has to be taken, but it can only be an auxiliary, I don't know if my sister-in-law has ever heard of acupuncture before?" Your disease is the cold poison invasion of the body in the confinement, after giving birth to a child and the essence is exhausted, resulting in vein blockage, blood poison upwelling, simple drug treatment can only do a certain amount of inhibition, I must use a silver needle to open up the meridians and acupuncture points in your body, and when the cold poison has faded, your body and the bruises on your face can be completely cured. ”
Sister-in-law Lin heard this, although she was half-incomprehensible, but she only hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "I will cure it, even if I scrape the bones to cure the poison, I don't want the child's father to work so hard anymore." ”
Seeing that she had this determination, Bai Qianning also showed a firm look in her eyes, and said with relief: "Don't worry, this acupuncture is not so terrifying, only a few acupuncture points are a little sore, numb and swollen, but your disease has been delayed for too long, I am afraid that it will take half a month, and then cooperate with the medicine to completely cure." ”
"Well, Cheng, it's just a bit ...... to trouble the white girl to run over and over again."
Sister-in-law Lin was a little embarrassed, in her eyes, Bai Qianning was a capable and knowledgeable person, and a lot of time was spent on her, which was more or less not good.
Bai Qianning understood her concerns, so she answered again: "It's okay, you don't have to worry about it, I always live in a village, and it's not a few steps away, I come over every day after dinner, and it's all about eating." By the way, is there any alcohol at home? In the future, a bowl of wine should be prepared every day for the silver needle to be disinfected. ”
"Yes, yes, it's buried in the yard, I'll dig it."
After Sister-in-law Lin finished speaking, she immediately got up, picked up the hoe in the corner and went out.
Bai Qianning wanted to tell her that if the black light was blind, she would start treatment tomorrow, but seeing her so eager, she could only let her go.
But not long after she went out, Bai Qianning heard Brother Lin's voice outside the house.
"Why are you standing outside so late, don't freeze, come inside."
"I'm fine, the white girl is in the house, she needs wine for my treatment, and I'm going to dig up the wine I brewed last year." Sister-in-law Lin's voice also came in.
"He said you can cure this disease?"
Brother Lin's voice obviously carried more joy than Sister-in-law Lin's, perhaps seeing her nodding, he quickly took the hoe and said, "Then you go in first, I'll dig." ”
Listening to this loving dialogue, Bai Qianning couldn't help but sigh in his heart, sure enough, good men are from other people's families.
Suddenly, she thought of Zhan Qianche. These days, she deliberately kept herself so busy, just to relieve the pain in her heart about Zhan Qianche's departure, but only she knew that once a person lived in the bottom of her heart, it would be difficult to forget it.
"Wang Qi! Wang Qi! Are you really not going to come back? ”
Bai Qianning couldn't help but start muttering to herself, her voice was low and inaudible, but there was sadness on her face that couldn't be hidden.
"White girl, the child's father is back!"
It was Sister-in-law Lin's words that interrupted her thoughts, and Bai Qianning immediately retracted her mind, inadvertently wiped away the sadness on her face, and said with a smile on her face: "Sister-in-law, Brother Lin treats you so well." ”
"Hey! He is honest and kind-hearted, don't look at him on weekdays, he is very hurtful. ”
Sister-in-law Lin said, perhaps remembering that Bai Qianning was abducted and sold to be Zhao Laosan's daughter-in-law before, and she was afraid that she would be sad, so she hurriedly relieved herself: "Miss Bai, you are still young, and you are so beautiful and kind-hearted, in the future, maybe you will marry a good man." ”
After she finished speaking, she saw that Brother Lin had already come in with a jar of wine, Bai Qianning just smiled and didn't reply.
Just stretched out her hand and took out the silver needle she had used to help Shi Shi treat her illness from the space under the cover of her sleeve, and she began to talk about treating Sister-in-law Lin.
Afraid that the child would be scared when he saw it, Bai Qianning specially asked Brother Lin to take them to play outside, while he followed Sister-in-law Lin to the room. When Brother Lin heard that he was going to take off his clothes, he specially burned a charcoal brazier and brought it in, for fear that Sister-in-law Lin would be cold again.
After a while, Sister-in-law Lin's hips, back, and head had a lot of silver needles, at first Sister-in-law Lin thought it hurt, and gritted her teeth early, but now she was completely relaxed, and she was comfortably lying on the bed and chatting with Bai Qianning.
During the chat, Bai Qianning knew that her illness was because she went to the river to wash clothes in the winter when she was pregnant, and accidentally fell into the river.
At that time, Brother Lin went to the town to build houses for people, and because of this, Brother Lin never went far to build a house again, but as long as he could stay by their mother and son's side, he would never go far.
After listening to this story, it was almost time to pull out the needle, Bai Qianning pulled out the needle while wiping away the tears that inadvertently overflowed under his eyes, there was emotion and sadness in these tears. Maybe only in this world can really overturn all the couples for each other, so they can get such happiness!
And what about her? The short-term affection with Zhan Qianche may not be anything at all, otherwise, how could he just say go.
When Sister-in-law Lin got up and put on her clothes, Bai Qianning couldn't see any sadness on her face, she took a closer look at Sister-in-law Lin's face, and after making sure that it had had some effect, she turned around and went to the dressing table to get the bronze mirror and handed it to her.
