Yan Niang was concentrating on embroidery, Begonia was changing diapers on the side, and suddenly cried halfway through, she couldn't coax her, Begonia had no choice but to put down the needle and thread, and hugged her daughter over and coaxed gently.

Returning to her mother's arms, the crying was much quieter, and Haitang wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Sister Yan Niang still has a way." ”

Yan Niang lightly nodded her little nose and said, "You little crying bag, look at Aunt Begonia." ”

Begonia also came over, "It's okay to toss, I like her to toss me." ”

Yan Niang smiled, she could see that Begonia really liked Manman, when she was busy doing embroidery work, Manman was always carried by Begonia, sometimes more elaborate than her, a mother.

Since the separation from Ling Jiming, Yan Niang asked for Begonia's deed of sale, and after going to the government to sell Begonia's slave status, she tore the deed of sale to shreds in front of her.

She has always regarded Begonia as her sister, and Begonia also knows that Yan Niang really cherishes her, so she puts all her gratitude on Manman, after all, Manman is the most important person for Yan Niang.

After coaxing to sleep, the sisters talked for a while, and Begonia went to the stove room to help. There are many people in the Nie family who eat and do a lot of things, but since Haitang followed Yan Niang to Nie's house, most of the things in the stove room fell on her, and Yan Niang quarreled with her two sisters-in-law for this, and finally made Haitang much easier.

Because Yan Niang was at odds with her two sisters-in-law for the sake of Begonia, the two did not have a good attitude towards Yan Niang, especially the Liu family, who always felt that Yan Niang and leaving home had an impact on the reputation of their two daughters, so they couldn't wait to drive Yan Niang out of the Nie family.

But she didn't dare, because she didn't have the final say in this family, and she could only say a few words to Yu Shi from time to time to scold Huai, which was nothing more than Yan Niang's thick skin, eating and drinking in the Nie family with three mouths.

Yan Niang listened, and she didn't plan to swallow her anger like before, she directly found Father Nie and Aunt Nie, and proposed that half of the silver money earned from embroidery every month should be given to Aunt Nie for the three of them to chew in the Nie family, and the other half was divided into a part as filial piety money for her father, and she saved the rest by herself.

After Yan Niang paid the money, the Liu family and the Yu family didn't dare to say anything about eating for nothing, but they often proposed in front of Aunt Nie, saying that Yan Niang was young and couldn't stay in her mother's house for the rest of her life, and she should find another husband's house.

Aunt Nie was also a little moved, she left Yan Niang at home, firstly, because she was her own daughter who was conceived and born in October, but because of the money handed over on time every month. But the two daughters-in-law are also reasonable, Yan Niang can't stay in her parents' house for the rest of her life.

She found Yan Niang and mentioned it to her, but Yan Niang refused without thinking about it, and told Aunt Nie that she would never marry again in her life, and she just wanted to raise Man Man well.

Yan Niang's refusal made Aunt Nie very annoyed, "I'm not doing this for your own good, how hard it is for you to carry the child alone, if you remarry, there are many people to help you share it, it is better than you doing embroidery every day to raise children." ”

Yan Niang still didn't agree, and Aunt Nie said angrily: "If you don't agree, you have to agree, I'm optimistic about it, and I'll let him propose marriage in a few days." ”

"Mother, how can you do this?" Yan Niang looked at her in disbelief, and saw that she was determined to let herself remarry, and said with a calm face: "I won't agree, if this family can't accommodate me, I will move out with Begonia and Manman." ”

Aunt Nie said sharply: "You dare." ”

"Why don't I dare, once I marry my father, I will marry you again, I will not let you interfere in my marriage again." Yan Niang said categorically: "Even if you force me, I won't agree." ”

Growing up so big, she has never spoken to Aunt Nie in such a tone, and now she has figured it out, the love of her parents and brothers is a luxury for her, and when the long-term disappointment becomes a habit, she will slowly let go of those unrealistic ideas.

Aunt Nie was so angry that she pointed at her and scolded her, but Yan Niang just didn't get in the oil and salt, and Aunt Nie had no choice but to find another way. It's just that before she could find a way to compromise Yan Niang, an unexpected thing happened.

Man Man didn't know why he was suddenly sick, Yan Niang was anxious, and hurriedly asked Haitang to invite the doctor in the village.

Manman couldn't stand the medicine, Yan Niang boiled the medicine and drank it, and then transferred the medicine to her daughter through milk. Yan Niang hugged her daughter and coaxed her for a long time, but she couldn't stop crying, and finally even her voice was hoarse.

Seeing that her daughter had been feverish, Yan Niang's mouth was anxious with a circle of bubbles.

At this time, Begonia's sharp eyes found that there were a few red rashes on the back of Manman's hand, and hurriedly told Yan Niang, who hurriedly opened the full clothes, only to see that there were such red rashes on her back, stomach and other places.

"Begonia, what does Manman's body look like?" Yan Niang asked anxiously.

Although Haitang knows some medical skills, she is not sure what disease Manman has, she has a bad premonition in her heart, but she doesn't dare to mention it to Yan Niang.

Seeing that she didn't know, Yan Niang planned to invite the doctor last time again, and Haitang persuaded: "Sister Yan Niang, let's go to the town to ask for a doctor, the doctor in the town is better than the one in the village." ”

Yan Niang felt that it made sense when she heard it, and wanted to take Manman to the town to see a doctor, but Haitang said: "Manman is weak and can't be tossed, so I'll go to the town and ask the doctor to come back for a doctor." ”

Yan Niang had no choice but to agree.

Haitang hurriedly went to the pharmacy where Dr. Liu was sitting in the town, she found Dr. Liu, did not rush to ask him to see a doctor, but inquired about the onset of smallpox, Dr. Liu was also curious about what she asked for this, and Begonia told a lie and rounded it out.

Dr. Liu is a gynecological saint, he doesn't know much about this kind of disease, he only talked about some of what he knows, Haitang listened to his face pale, the symptoms that Dr. Liu said were not much different from Manman's current symptoms, and after thanking Dr. Liu, she hurriedly ran out.

Dr. Liu looked at her back, always felt that something was wrong, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't come up with it, and finally simply forgot about it. It's just that when I went to bed at night, I suddenly sat up from the bed and shouted, "Suffered." ”

His wife Yun was woken up by him and muttered, "What are you shouting in the middle of the night?" ”

Dr. Liu glanced at his wife and shook his head: "I just had a nightmare, now it's fine, go to sleep." ”

Yun rolled over and quickly fell asleep again.

Dr. Liu lay down slowly, his eyelids were as heavy as lead, but he couldn't sleep, so he went to the study. Before dawn the next day, he went to Xiaohe Village with the medicine box on his back.

On the Nie family's side, Haitang not only did not invite back the doctor yesterday, but also told Yan Niang that she might have smallpox, and Yan Niang almost fainted when she heard it, smallpox will not only be contagious, but also fatal.

Yan Niang refused to believe it, but Manman's symptoms were exactly the same as the symptoms of smallpox that Begonia said, obviously there was a rash before, and after less than half a day, there were blisters the size of mung beans in some places, and Manman was young and could only cry when he was itchy and uncomfortable.

Smallpox was contagious, Yan Niang didn't dare to stay at home anymore, so she immediately asked Begonia to pack up her things and move to the house at the end of the village where no one lived.

This house was still rented by Yan Niang when Nie Niang forced Yan Niang to marry, and it was originally a childless old widower's house, and the house was vacant after he died of illness. Yan Niang thought that she would definitely take Begonia and Man out to live in the future, and after moving out of the Nie family, she had to find a place to stay.

I didn't expect it to come in handy so soon, after moving out, Yan Niang didn't dare to ask for a doctor, but the full illness could not be delayed, fortunately, Begonia remembered the few flavors of medicine that Dr. Liu said, and went to the back mountain to pick the medicine and boil it into water, which was used to give the man a bath.

Maybe it was because the potion had an effect, and after taking a bath, the crying was much quieter, and after a while, I slowly fell asleep. Seeing her daughter sleeping soundly, Yan Niang was overjoyed, she had been crying for the past two days, and she was humming when she fell asleep, and she had never slept so sweetly as she did now.

In order to be full in the past two days, she and Begonia have not rested well, especially Begonia, who went to the back mountain to collect medicine, and accidentally fell. Yan Niang asked her to rest and guard her daughter by herself. Haitang did not postpone it, and when she was rested, she would replace Yan Niang.

On the other side, Dr. Liu went to Ling's house in Xiaohe Village, but was told that Haitang returned to Nie's village with the daughter of the Nie family, so he rushed to Nie's village again, and after asking the villagers about the Nie family's residence, he went to Nie's house with the medicine box on his back.

Nie Dalang was about to go out, and as soon as he walked to the door, he saw a person with a medicine box standing at the door.

"Who are you, and what are you doing standing in front of our house?" Nie Dalang asked as he looked at it.

Doctor Liu arched his hand at him and asked, "Is there a little girl named Begonia in this family?" ”

Nie Dalang frowned, "What are you looking for her for?" ”

Doctor Liu said: "She said that her sister's child was sick and asked me to come and see the disease." ”

"They've moved out, you can look for them at the end of the village." Nie Dalang showed him the way.

Yesterday, Yan Niang suddenly proposed to move out, except for the persuasion of the two brothers Nie Dalang and Nie Erlang, no one in the Nie family spoke, and Nie Niang even released cruel words, saying that if she moved away, she would never recognize her as a mother.

Yan Niang was also ruthless, and moved out with her children without saying a word, and even rented the house. Brother Nie Dalang was also a little angry when he saw this, so he stopped persuading.

Dr. Liu followed the path pointed out by Nie Dalang to the end of the village, and sure enough, he saw a lonely house, which was crooked and slanted with only three rooms, surrounded by a fence, compared with the large courtyard of the Nie family, it was a little too simple.

Dr. Liu poked his head into the courtyard and shouted, "Is there anyone?" ”

Yan Niang was half-leaning on the head of the bed to rest, and suddenly woke up after hearing the shouts outside, she hurriedly dressed and went to open the door, at this time Begonia also came out of the next room, and after seeing Dr. Liu, she hurriedly closed the door tightly.

Yan Niang was about to speak, but she heard her say: "Sister Yan Niang, Doctor Liu must know what dishes came here, we can't let him see it." ”

Yan Niang panicked when she heard this, "Then what should I do now?" ”

Haitang said to her: "You go and take care of Manman first, and I'll go talk to him." ”

Yan Niang nodded and told her to be careful.

After Haitang came out, he asked directly: "Doctor Liu, how did you find this place?" ”

When Dr. Liu saw her, his expression was very serious, and he took a few steps closer and asked in a low voice, "Who has smallpox?" ”

Haitang glanced at him and pretended not to understand what he was saying, but Dr. Liu couldn't, so he had to say: "Smallpox is very contagious, if you still hide it from the old man, I'm afraid something will happen." ”

"I don't know what you're talking about, we don't have smallpox here." Begonia sternly denied.

Seeing that she didn't eat oil and salt, Doctor Liu grabbed her beard anxiously, "Miss Begonia, if you still have a conscience, you should tell the old man." ”

Seeing that Haitang was unmoved, he said again: "If you tell that person who it is, the old man will help heal him." ”

Haitang didn't believe him, "You are the holy hand of gynecology, I'm afraid you won't see this disease." ”

Dr. Liu opened the medicine box and took out a medical book from it, "The old man flipped through the ancestral medical books last night, and the ancestors passed on a few methods to cure smallpox. ”

When Haitang heard this, he hurriedly grabbed the medical book and flipped through it, and saw that there was indeed a cure on it, but there was a line of annotation under each method: this method cannot guarantee that it is foolproof, and it should be done according to its ability.

In other words, the treatment of smallpox described in this book may or may not be effective.

After reading it, Haitang returned the book to Dr. Liu and said, "I'm going back to tell my sister, you are waiting outside." ”
