Chapter 236: Stable

Because Second Great-aunt Liu’s voice was very soft, the surrounding people did not know what had happened at all. When they saw Mu Yangling carrying Madam Liu-Zhao into the village, they were all stunned.

Liu Ting was originally laughing and fooling around with his brother. When he saw his mother being carried away by Mu Yangling, his expression could not help but darken. He jumped up and wanted to chase after her, but Second Great-aunt Liu stopped him and said, “What are you waiting for? Quickly go find a doctor. Your mother is sick. Hurry!”

Stunned, Liu Daqian and Liu Erqian asked, “She seemed fine just now. Why did she suddenly fall sick?”

“It’s all because of your good sister,” Second Great-aunt Liu replied angrily. Then, she said to Madam Liu-Zhang, “Hurry up and go to the city to get a doctor. Your sister-in-law is probably pregnant. Madam Liu pushed her stomach just now.”

Madam Liu-Zhang’s expression changed. “I’ll go now.” She jogged towards the city.

Second Great-aunt Liu wanted to go back and see how Madam Liu-Zhao was doing, so she waved her hand and left. Only Madam Liu-Sun was left to help the children pack up and go back. There was no way they would work in the fields again today.

Liu Daqian and Liu Erqian also carried the iron plow back with gloomy expressions. When the surrounding people saw this, they dispersed.

With reddened eyes, Liu Erqian said, “This is our Liu clan’s grandson. If something really happens, I won’t let her off.”

Seeing Liu Daqian remain silent, Liu Erqian said angrily, “Big Brother, why are you still protecting her?”

Liu Daqian sighed and said, “Ah Ting’s wife hasn’t rested for the past year. Also, she’s been busy the past few days…”

Liu Erqian looked angry. “But if she didn’t push her, Ah Ting’s wife would have been fine. She would have found out that she was pregnant sooner or later. In short, I don’t care. I won’t allow you to interfere in the Fang family’s matters in the future. In any case, I won’t interfere anymore.” After saying that, Liu Erqian waved his hand and left.

Mu Yangling had already carried Madam Liu-Zhao back to Liu Residence. Eldest Aunt was dealing with the roe deer’s internal organs. When she saw this, she could not help but be stunned. She asked anxiously, “What’s going on?”

“Aunt Ting seems to be pregnant.” Mu Yangling carried her into the house like a gust of wind and placed her on the brick bed.

Although her speed was fast, she ran very steadily. Madam Liu-Zhao did not feel any bumps, but the pain in her stomach still made her feel very uncomfortable.

Eldest Aunt couldn’t care less. Upon hearing this, she washed her hands briefly and rushed in. Seeing that her eldest daughter-in-law’s face was pale and her forehead was still covered in cold sweat, she pushed Mu Yangling. “Hurry up and get out. I’ll take a look.”

Mu Yangling could only go out and wait. Second Great-aunt Liu rushed back and ran into the house to take a look.

Mu Yangling stopped Liu Rong and Liu Lun, who were about to rush in, and said, “Don’t go in. Wait here.”

Liu Rong was anxious. “Will my mother be alright?”

“I’m sure she’ll be fine.” Mu Yangling comforted her. “We discovered it in time. Your mother is in good health, so she should be fine.”

Without waiting for the doctor to confirm, Eldest Great-aunt Liu and Second Great-aunt Liu were certain that Madam Liu-Zhao was pregnant. After all, they had given birth to a few children and could easily tell.

As it had been several years since there was a new addition to the Liu clan, they could not help but ask anxiously: “Why isn’t the doctor here yet?”

“There’s no doctor in our village. We can only go to the neighboring village to get Physician Lian over.” Second Great-aunt Liu looked outside and said, “Why don’t I go out to welcome him…”

Just as she finished speaking, Liu Lang had already run in with Physician Lian like a gust of wind. He pushed Physician Lian anxiously. “Physician, quickly take a look at my mother.”

“Alright, alright, I know. Slow down. My old bones are about to fall apart.” Physician Lian took a deep breath and went forward to take Madam Liu-Zhao’s pulse. After a while, he said, “She’s fine. The fetal qi is affected. She just has to take two sets of medicine and rest well.”

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. After Physician Lian wrote the prescription, Eldest Great-aunt Liu quickly went into the house to get the consultation fees for him. Liu Lang took the prescription and was about to get the medicine. However, before he left the village, he met Madam Liu-Zhang and Pang Kongqing, whom the former had brought back on a donkey cart.

Liu Lang immediately decided to wait for the second doctor to look at his mother before getting the medicine.

The donkey cart belonged to Pang Kongqing. The moment he entered the courtyard, he saw Mu Yangling. He stopped in his tracks and the corners of his mouth twitched. Why did he always bump into Mu Yangling when he went out for consultations?

Mu Yangling also saw Pang Kongqing. She immediately went forward and pointed in the direction. “Physician Pang, my aunt is in this room.”

Pang Kongqing nodded with a straight face and entered the house.

Pang Kongqing’s medical skills were much better than Physician Lian’s. After taking her pulse for a moment, he looked at Madam Liu-Zhao’s expression, then said, “You’ve affected the fetal qi. Plus, your body is a little weak due to over-exhaustion. Fortunately, your foundation is not bad. This fetus should be fine. I’ll write a prescription for you to get the medicine right away.”

The servant immediately opened the medicine box and arranged the brush, ink, and paper. After Pang Kongqing wrote down the prescription for them, he picked up his mini scale and immediately weighed the herbs from the medicine box.

Everyone looked at him in a daze. Eldest Great-aunt Liu asked, “Physician Pang, you even carry herbs with you?”

The servant said proudly, “This is because our master is kind-hearted. Those who come to ask for a consultation are usually patients with acute illnesses, and it’s not easy to move them around. Naturally, the more quickly you let them take the medicine, the better. Therefore, my master will ask about the situation and bring some herbs with him. This way, after taking the patient’s pulse, he can immediately give them the correct mix of herbs, brew it, and let them drink it.”

Eldest Great-aunt Liu heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “Physician Pang is indeed kind-hearted.”

Pang Kongqing handed the medicine to them and said, “This is for stabilizing the fetus. Let her drink it first. You need to get the rest of the herbs from the medicinal shop because I don’t have enough here.”

Madam Liu-Zhang quickly went forward to take the herbs and went to the kitchen to brew it.

After asking for the consultation fees and medicine fees, Eldest Great-aunt Liu entered the house and took out the money jar. After counting, she sighed and brought the copper coins out in a pouch for Physician Pang.

Physician Pang did not even look at it and handed it to the servant. He cupped his hands and said, “Then I’ll go back first.”

Liu Lang and Mu Yangling sent him out. Mu Yangling said to Pang Kongqing, who had climbed onto the donkey cart, “Physician Pang, you’re a good doctor.”

The corners of Pang Kongqing’s mouth twitched. He looked at her warily and said, “Thank you for your praise, Miss Mu. Actually, I feel that my medical skills still have a lot of room for improvement.”

Mu Yangling chuckled softly and said, “Physician Pang, you don’t have to be so afraid. I’m saying that you have excellent medical ethics. I rarely encounter a doctor as good as you.”

Pang Kongqing paused in surprise. The coachman had already asked, “Master, are we leaving?”

He came back to his senses and said, “Let’s go.”

Since the Liu clan could not go to the fields today, everyone sat in the courtyard in a daze. Mu Yangling supported her chin and said, “Why don’t I go home and come back tomorrow?”

Liu Erqian said, “Why go back? You should have lunch first before leaving.”

Mu Yangling shook her head. “Forget it. Before the weather turns cold, I want to enter the mountains to take a look.” Mu Yangling wanted to enter the mountains and set up a few traps to see if she could catch wild boars. She could not bring bows and arrows into the mountains to hunt again.

Seeing that the house was in a mess, Liu Daqian nodded and said, “Alright, go back first. Come back tomorrow.”

Mu Yangling pulled Xiuhong back. Xiuhong held her stomach and said, “Cousin, I haven’t had breakfast yet. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have slept in this morning…”

“We’ll eat when we get back.” Mu Yangling quickened her pace and said, “We have to go back and tell Uncle Ting to go home.”

Xiuhong’s eyes sparkled as she asked, “Cousin, do you think Uncle Ting will cause trouble for the Fang family?”

“Most likely, but don’t even think about watching the commotion. Even if Uncle Ting finds trouble with the Fang family, he won’t let others know. Eldest Great-uncle won’t allow it.”
