“Then I’ll have to trouble you, Doctor. As long as you can treat Madam, the Yin Residence will definitely reward you heavily.”
Madam Tang recovered quickly and spoke with a smile.
Before Old Wu could speak, Madam Tang smiled and said, “Doctor, Madam has a bad temper. If she says anything, please don’t take it to heart and don’t argue with her. I’m here, so I’ll apologize on her behalf.”
Madam Yin was furious. She held her heavy stomach and turned around, about to curse.
Su Xiaolu spoke first. She smiled and said, “Aunt, don’t worry. My master has the best temper and won’t fuss about such trivial matters. Madam’s illness isn’t a big deal and can be cured.”
Madam Tang’s smile stiffened again, although she recovered quickly.
Old Wu understood what Su Xiaolu meant.
He also said to Madam Tang, “Don’t worry, I’ve been a doctor for many years and have seen all kinds of difficult patients. This is nothing. Just wait for the good news.”
Madam Tang’s smile was a little forced. She choked on her words and no longer wanted to speak. She only smiled and nodded.
Yin Changshun did not notice these small details. When he heard that it could be treated, he asked happily, “Doctor Wu, can it really be treated?”
“Of course I can. Your wife is only pregnant with a stone fetus. She’ll be fine once it’s removed.”
Old Wu said calmly.
When Yin Changshun heard that it could be treated, he hurriedly said, “Doctor, please save my wife. I’m willing to pay a hundred taels of silver as repayment.”
A hundred taels was a lifetime’s profit for an ordinary family.
It was a lot of money, and he was willing to pay it to save his wife.
Madam Yin calmed down a little. She was originally very angry, but after hearing Old Wu and Su Xiaolu block Madam Tang’s words, she felt much better.
When it came to her body, Madam Yin calmed down and looked at Old Wu and Su Xiaolu. She said, “Doctor Wu, please treat me.”
If she could be cured, of course she would. For her daughter’s sake if not her own.
Madam Tang’s evil heart could fool men, but not her.
If she was gone, it wouldn’t end well for her daughter. She firmly believed in her instincts.
Old Wu said, “Madam, please sit down and let me take your pulse.”
Madam Yin nodded and sat down at the table with the help of the maidservant.
As for Yin Changshun and Madam Tang, she was not in the mood to care.
Old Wu began to take Madam Yin’s pulse to see her condition.
His expression was calm as he retracted his hand and said, “There’s indeed a stone fetus in Madam’s stomach. Was there something wrong with Madam’s pregnancy? A stone fetus isn’t formed in a day or two.”
Madam Yin frowned and said with a hurt expression, “I don’t know. It’s just that my stomach hurt a lot for a few days. Then it became like this.”
Those few days she’d had a stomachache. She’d taken some birth-relief pills, and when the pain had subsided, she’d thought it would be normal.
However, after ten months of pregnancy, there was no movement in her stomach. The melon should have been ripe, but the child was not born. After taking medicine, she was in so much pain that she was on the verge of death. The child in her stomach still could not be born.
Over time, a few years passed, and it became like this.
As her stomach became harder and harder, she felt abnormally tired. Her body started to feel bad in all aspects. It was as if there was a rock in her stomach. She fell until her waist, legs, and legs hurt and she felt uncomfortable. She was worried, and she couldn’t eat. Her body became worse and worse.
Old Wu stood up and said to Su Xiaolu, “Xiaolu, come and take a look.”
Su Xiaolu sat down and gently placed her hand on Madam Yin’s wrist.
Madam Yin’s health was not good. She had been carrying this child who had turned into a stone fetus, causing her to have some problems in all aspects.
This child had to be taken out to save her life.
Su Xiaolu released Madam Yin’s hand and said, “Madam, you can’t keep the child in your stomach anymore. You have to take it out.”
Madam Yin felt pain in her heart. She said firmly, “Then take it out.”
This child was not fated to be.
Four years pregnant, surely dead, and she was not so foolish as to pay for a dead child.
She had to live to protect her only daughter.
“Doctor Wu, please take this child out and save my wife’s life.”
Yin Changshun also said respectfully.
“Remove? How?”
Madam Tang suddenly asked.
She looked worried, as if something terrible had occurred to her, and she looked frightened.
Yin Changshun frowned and asked, “Doctor Wu, may I ask how this child will be taken out?”
She can’t give birth to it for sure.
But could people still live if they were disemboweled?
Yin Changshun immediately frowned.
Old Wu said very naturally, “Madam, if you’re like this, you definitely won’t be able to give birth. We can only save your life by taking out the stone fetus.”
“B-but no one can live after having their belly cut open. What you’re saying is too wild. No doctor who came in the past has ever dared to say that.”
Madam Tang asked with a frown.
Her question made Yin Changshun frown.
Madam Yin gritted her teeth and glared at Madam Tang. “B*tch, shut up. You have no right to decide my matters!”
“Yin Changshun, please shut up too. You make it sound like I can survive if I don’t open my stomach. I’ll die either way. I’m willing to take a gamble. Perhaps the heavens will show mercy and not take my life to let me live.”
Madam Yin said coldly to Yin Changshun. In such a grievance, the relationship between husband and wife had long disappeared.
Every time Yin Changshun echoed Madam Tang’s words, it stabbed at her heart.
She didn’t want to hear another word of their conversation.
Madam Tang revealed a bitter expression and struggled. After hesitating for a moment, he bit his lip and said, “Sister, even if you don’t like me, I still have to say that women in this world give birth naturally. If you open the abdomen and take the child, there’s a high chance of death. Yuyao is still young. I don’t want you to take this risk.”
After Madam Tang finished speaking, her eyes were filled with tears. She looked like he was saying, “I’m doing this for your own good. Even if you hate me and don’t like me for not understanding me, I want to do this for your own good.”
Yin Changshun was a little touched by Madam Tang’s actions.
Madam Yin was naturally furious. She hated it the most when Madam Tang was like this. It was precisely this facade that made Yin Changshun think that she was gentle and kind.
Madam Yin was about to vomit blood.
Yin Changshun looked at Madam Yin worriedly and said, “Madam, we can’t be careless about this. We have to consider it from a long-term perspective.”
Madam Yin looked at Yin Changshun. He really didn’t disappoint her and said that because of Madam Tang.
Madam Yin was furious at this. She sneered. “Haha…”
“What’s there to argue about? Master and I will open Madam Yin’s stomach to take her child. We don’t have the ability to fly or burrow into the ground. If anything really happens, Master and I will have to pay Madam Yin with our lives. One life for two. Madam Yin won’t lose out. Besides, her body is almost exhausted. If we don’t take out the stone fetus, it will only be a year and a half at most before she passes. It won’t be a loss to open her stomach to take her child, right?” Su Xiaolu said.
