Chapter 297: charity hall

Hearing that his younger brother Li Jinhu was going to take an exam, Li Haitang gave up the idea of ​​letting him go down the mountain.

Since the younger brother learned the truth, he was very disappointed with his father Li Dahe. His original world, which was pure and beautiful, changed drastically in an instant.

Li Jinhu suddenly grew up and became more sensible. For such a change, Li Haitang felt distressed. A ten-year-old boy had to face so many things.

"Second Aunt Chen, I'm more than a month pregnant, so I can't eat river crab."

Li Haitang looked at the boiled red crabs on the table, with orange-red paste inside, swallowed her saliva, and focused her eyes on the glowing red hot pot base.

"A month?"

Aunt Chen almost threw away her chopsticks, moved the crab to her face, and handed the meat and a small basket of vegetables to Li Haitang.

"Well, about a month."

According to the custom, the first three months of pregnancy must be kept secret, but Second Aunt Chen is not an outsider, and Li Haitang did not hide it.

"This is such a happy event!"

Second Aunt Chen couldn't be happier, the master's family is over twenty, if a man of this age gets married early, the baby will be able to make soy sauce.

Speaking of her pregnancy, Li Haitang was still a little shy. She planned to return to the mountains in a few days and would not accept patients for the time being.

But anyone who comes to her is not a minor ailment. Her current physical condition is not very good. She must be very careful in the early stage, and it is impossible to overdraw her body and undergo complicated operations.

"No one bothers you in the mountains, but it's inconvenient to buy something."

Second Aunt Chen disagreed, at least in Lucheng, she could take care of her by the side.

But considering how much the common people worship Miracle Doctor Li, if they learn that Miracle Doctor is back, they will definitely come to deliver things again, so it would be good to find a quiet place.

"There's nothing on the mountain, right? I raised a few old hens, all of which are capable of laying eggs. Why don't we catch them and raise them on the mountain?"

Speaking of raising chickens, Uncle Chen is very proud. He heard that earthworms are used to feed chickens, and hens love to lay eggs, so he imitated others, boiled and chopped earthworms and then fed them. Not to mention, one chicken averages one egg a day.

"Our previous hen was too timid. When the official came, she was so scared that she couldn't lay eggs for a month."

The time Uncle Chen mentioned, not long after Xiao Lingchuan left, officers, soldiers and officials all came to the door, and finally made Li Haitang spend a night in death row.

Those people were too savage. After entering the door, they jumped around and stepped on the hen's thigh, which made the family have to drink chicken soup for several days.

"Second Uncle Chen, is the egg yolk really good too?"

Li Haitang heard that feeding chickens with earthworms has higher nutritional value.

There are pheasants in the mountains, and occasionally you can get a few broods of pheasant eggs, as well as bird eggs, but they are relatively small, not cooked well, and have a faint fishy smell.

"Isn't that right, I want to raise a few more!"

When it comes to raising chickens, Uncle Chen is eloquent, but in the city instead of the village, only a few chickens can be raised, in order to lay eggs, enough for daily use.

Nowhere is as good as home, Li Haitang deeply felt that no matter how rich the food outside is, it is not as peaceful and comfortable at home. Her whole mental state has become different.

The fish fillet was placed in the spicy hot pot, and the earthy smell was gone. The fish fillet was smooth and tender, which made her no longer feel retched.

After sleeping till dawn, Li Haitang went shopping with her savage husband, wearing a face scarf.

We need fine cotton cloth at home. In the future, we will make small clothes for bean bags, which are comfortable and breathable.

Dyeing technology is not well developed these days, and most of the dyes will fade. She wants to buy undyed muslin cloth, but it is not easy to find.

Just after breakfast, there were people coming and going on a street in the downtown area. At the front was Li Haitang's medical center. There were about 40 or 50 people queuing up at the door. They were silently waiting for a doctor, which shocked her.

"So many people are sick?"

After the clinic opened, Li Haitang didn't pay much attention to it. On weekdays, there is Zhao Baoshan for consultation, and there are several doctors with good reputation.

Lin Wanjiu works as an accountant in a medical clinic. It is said that he is talented in medicine, and he usually works as a helper for Zhao Baoshan, and is treated like an elderly drug boy.

"Miss, look at the people in the front row. Their clothes are stained with dew. They must have traveled at night and come from far away."

Xiao Lingchuan shook his head, the other party should come for the signboard of the medical clinic, celebrity effect.

Regardless of the large number of people visiting the clinic, Li Haitang has not yet achieved a balance of income and expenditure. When he meets poor people on weekdays, Zhao Baoshan often reduces or waives the consultation fee, and occasionally pays for it out of his own pocket.

It is estimated that there is no one who can turn a medical center into a charity hall.

Li Haitang rubbed her heart, she just wanted to be a profiteer, but she was involuntarily led astray.

She wanted to be a miracle doctor who asked for money and had a weird temper, but somehow she was touted as a living Bodhisattva.

so tired!

We have all reached the entrance of the medical hall, so we simply go in and walk around. Li Haitang walked around and entered the back hall in a small alley.

There were a lot of people coming to see a doctor in the medical clinic. Besides delivering medicines, the staff occasionally brought tea and water to the common people. Lin Wanjiu was cleaning the yard.

"Brother Xiao, Doctor Li!"

Seeing the husband and wife, Lin Wanjiu was very pleasantly surprised. These two are the lifesavers of their family of three.

He had inquired that the Lin Family Village, including the village head, was in prison collectively, and they have not been released yet.

If the two of them hadn't arrived in time, his wife and baby would have been burned to death, and he would not have been able to survive, leading to a tragedy of family ruin.

Coming to the medical clinic and helping the poor, Lin Wanjiu lived a fulfilling life every day, which made him happier than reading.

"Hush!"

Li Haitang made a silent gesture, and followed Lin Wanjiu to the tea room to look at the ledger.

After reading it, she sighed deeply, she really didn't want to see what that prodigal Zhao Baoshan would do!

"Since the plague has passed, our medical clinic has gained a reputation. People in nearby cities would rather travel at night to come here for medical treatment."

At first, the medical center paid a few thousand taels, but now it is slowly starting to make a profit, although very slowly.

People who look down on the sick will be introduced by Zhao Langzhong to work on the docks to pay off their debts.

Seeing the common people, medicines are cheap, and basically no money can be made, but the female doctors trained in the medical center go out to help midwifery for wealthy families and start to play a role.

Some time ago, Mrs. Xu's family, who was in the jewelry business in the city, suffered from persistent lochia for a year after giving birth. Before that, she had been seeing a doctor at Baicaotang.

Mrs. Xu heard from her servants that there are female doctors in Dr. Li's clinic, who specialize in women's diseases.

She was tortured for a year, almost without hope, and only a few days after drinking the prescription prescribed by the doctor, her lochia stopped. Even she couldn't believe it, and she called it miraculous.

The folk prescription for stopping lochia comes from Lin Wanjiu's ancestral medical book, and I didn't expect the effect to be immediate.

Since then, Mrs. Xu publicized it when she went out, and all the original customers of Baicaotang also went to their medical clinic for consultation.

The richer you are, the more savvy you are. No one is being taken advantage of. With this shock, Baicao Hall is completely empty. Li Haitang frowned. Even if it wasn't her own promotion, Baicaotang definitely thought she was playing tricks, and she might have some tricks behind her back.
