The shopkeeper said: "This recipe is indeed wonderful, but we have never used it so we don't know how wonderful it is. But from what you described yesterday, it is obvious that this medicine alone is not enough."
He said: "This medicine is to replenish qi and blood, but she had a heavy bleeding yesterday, and the metrorrhagia must not have stopped today, but she has the courage not to prescribe medicine to stop the bleeding. Obviously there are other ways to stop her bleeding."
Both of them thought of Zhou Man's world-famous acupuncture, and their eyes lit up. "It must be acupuncture. She must have used acupuncture."
The doctor thought so too, and lowered his voice and said: "When I went in to give birth yesterday, there was not much blood on her face. I looked at the blood stains in the yard and on the bed. The bleeding must have been fierce at first, but the amount of bleeding was already very heavy.
If she can deliver a baby under such circumstances, she must use acupuncture."
After all, he brought the medicines Zhou Man used, and he watched her take them, so he knew the effects of those medicines very well.
However, the compatibility of yesterday's three medicines is still worthy of consideration.
The doctor mischievously took out three prescriptions from his arms and said, "These are the prescriptions I wrote down after staying up late last night and recalling them."
The shopkeeper immediately took it and looked at it, and the two of them continued to think about the new prescription.
The rich lady also cursed all the way back home. She almost cursed the Guo family all the way back. The Guo family on the opposite side heard her scolding and tolerated it at first, but when they saw that she kept talking, they
I couldn't help it anymore, so I went out and started scolding her.
Man Bao heard this in the house and couldn't help but sigh, "Is the relationship between your neighbors so bad?"
Dahua, who was lying on the bed, said with an indifferent face when she heard this: "The Guo family are all evil people, and the Wu family doesn't know what kind of evil they have done, but they actually became enemies with their family."
Man Bao scratched his head. If they had money, Man Bao would suggest that they sell this house and buy a new one.
Otherwise, with evil neighbors around, you will be angry every day, your body will be damaged by anger, and your life span will be shortened a lot. Why bother?
But the Wu family has no money and obviously cannot afford the cost of moving, and they don't have the courage.
She thought about it seriously and decided to help them and Bai Shan, so she said: "If you take a day's medicine today, you should be better tomorrow. Do you want your mother-in-law to go to the county government office tomorrow?"
"
Dahua was startled, "Tingtang?"
Man Bao nodded and said with a serious face: "Being friendly to neighbors is a virtue. Isn't there a saying that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors? But your two families obviously live across the street, and the relationship should be better, but you are so hostile.
Not only did he lose his virtue, but he also violated the law."
She said: "I think this is all due to your lack of knowledge and ignorance of the law, so you are unscrupulous."
"If you know what behavior is against the law, know the pain of punishment, and restrain your daily actions, even if you cannot be a friendly neighbor, at least you will not happen again like yesterday."
Dahua felt uneasy when she heard this, "Madam, it was the Guo family who broke the law yesterday, and it has nothing to do with our Wu family, right?"
Man Bao said: "Isn't it against the law for Wu Dafu to kill people with a knife?"
Dahua's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but sit up, "Are you saying that the head of the household stabbed someone with a knife? Then, then..."
Only then did Man Bao realize that she didn't know anything, so he comforted her and said, "Don't worry, although I picked up the knife and chased after him, I didn't chop anyone."
Dahua breathed a sigh of relief.
"But this can't cover up that he violated the law," Man Bao said, "so he is now being held in prison together with the Guo family and his wife."
Dahua was filled with worries and asked, "Is it serious? How will the county magistrate sentence him?"
If Wu Dafu goes to jail and she behaves like this, her life will be even more difficult.
Man Bao said: "That depends on your attitude towards admitting your mistake."
She pointedly said: "Dahua, why did you splash water on the opposite door?"
Dahua's face turned pale and said nothing.
Man Bao said: "But I think the root cause of this matter is not you, but your mother-in-law and husband, and the people from the Guo family across the street. You are a daughter-in-law who only married a few years ago. Obviously the two families have been at odds for a long time.
You naturally sided with the Wu family just because of your stance."
"You are too weak and obviously cannot control the relationship between the two families." Moreover, you have not made any efforts to improve it. Manbao hid these words and said to Dahua: "So let your mother-in-law go and have a look. If your family doesn't
If you plan to move, but the Guo family won't leave, then your two families will be facing each other for decades, or even hundreds of years. Are you really willing to have a bad relationship with a neighbor who is on the opposite door to your mother-in-law's age, and not reconcile even until death?
?”
Dahua tightened her grip on the quilt, obviously not wanting to be the first to admit defeat. She gritted her teeth and said, "The Guo family killed my child."
Man Bao sighed and said, "He was not killed by the Guo family, he was killed by both of you together."
Dahua was shocked and looked at Zhou Man in disbelief.
Although Manbao sympathized with her, she was not simply sympathetic. She said: "The child's nutrition is very poor. It is obvious that he was not raised very well. Not to mention that yesterday's incident was caused by you. Although she recommended it,
You fell, but I think you had expected it, but you didn't expect that she would be so strong and the consequences would be so serious."
Man Bao tore off her fig leaf and said bluntly: "But I think you decided on it from the beginning, kid, right?"
Dahua didn't expect Zhou Man to be so sharp. The hands holding the quilt lost color. She avoided Zhou Man's eyes with a guilty conscience and said: "She pushed me, I, I..."
Under Zhou Man's clear eyes, Dahua really couldn't make it up anymore. She could only close her eyes and break the jar and said: "Yes, I did it on purpose. The child will not survive even after he is born. My mother-in-law said it earlier."
The family cannot afford to raise so many children, and she will drown when she is born."
Her shoulders slumped and she said with a numb face: "We are going to die anyway, so it's better to die early. She doesn't have any memory at the moment. It's better to die after birth or die directly in the belly than to cry twice after being born."
It would be much better to die again."
She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to let go when the time came.
Man Bao pursed her lips tightly, and her chest was filled with anger. She felt uncomfortable being bumped around. Realizing that Dahua didn't know that she gave birth to a son, she didn't point it out, but said: "So
You killed him together."
This time Dahua didn't object.
Man Bao said: "The county magistrate also knows about this."
When Dahua heard this, she finally became anxious, "Then, will I be caught?"
Man Bao said: "Who knows, let's see what the county magistrate decides."
Manbao looked at Dahua who lowered his head worriedly and said: "Girls, it's okay to have a stronger personality. If you are stronger, you can live a better life, and the people around you can also live a better life. My mother has also been born in this life.
She gave birth to many children, and during the most difficult time, the family could only feed them with porridge and water, but no matter which one they were, she never gave up."
She went to see the big girl and the second girl who were playing in the mud outside. "Compared to adults, they are the real weak, but they all have the instinct to survive. Why would you give up your own life and the lives of others?"
Dahua listened in a daze and looked at the two daughters outside, not knowing what she was thinking.
