After cleaning, Zhou Ning went to the pharmacy to buy some medicinal herbs, while Shen You went to buy some seeds.

The climate here is roughly temperate monsoon climate, plain area.

This is a good place to grow wheat.

Once a disaster strikes, staple food can at least ensure one person's survival.

After finishing all this, it was almost dark, so the two went home.

In the evening, Qi Ji taught the two of them to recognize words, and then they went back to sleep.

night.

Zhou Ning was sleeping soundly when she heard someone knocking on the door.

"Sister Qingxiu, are you there? Open the door."

The voice sounded very urgent, and the knocks on the door became harder and harder.

Liu Qingxiu was still sleeping. Hearing the urgent voice, she hurriedly got up and opened the door.

It’s the fat aunt.

The fat aunt said hurriedly: "Wu Lai's baby is giving birth and may not be feeling well. I want to borrow some eggs and brown sugar to at least give her some strength."

The five-laid daughter-in-law usually gets along very well with the fat aunt.

Liu Qingxiu said, "Don't worry, the things are at my house, come with me to get them."

Zhou Ning hurriedly said, "Aunt Shen, I'll go with you."

As he said that, he pulled Shen You and busied himself putting on his clothes.

Liu Qingxiu felt that she was not an ignorant child, but still refused.

"I have to go get something for your fat aunt first, so you just stay at home."

At this time Zhou Wan also woke up and said, "I'll watch them."

Liu Qingxiu nodded and left.

While putting on her clothes, Zhou Ning said, "Sister, I know medical skills, why don't I go and take a look."

Shen You asked in a daze, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Ning said, "Someone gave birth to a child. I'll go take a look."

If it were in the past, Zhou Ning would never care if she encountered such a thing. After all, the other party didn't come to find her, so why should she cause trouble for herself?

But after Zhou Ning came here, there were more people who loved and cared for her, and her heart unconsciously softened.

Moreover, when they first had the thatched hut, Wulai's wife secretly gave her half a steamed bun.

Her family is so poor, it's not easy for her to save this much.

Although Zhou Ning refused, she was still very grateful to Wulai's wife.

Hearing that Zhou Ning was going, Shen You nodded quickly and started to get dressed.

Zhou Wan knew that she couldn't change any of her decisions, so she said, "Then put on your clothes and I'll take you there."

Zhou Wan had only vaguely heard what was said, so she asked, "Is she the aunt of Wu Lai's family?"

Zhou Ning nodded.

After saying that, the three of them went out and happened to meet Aunt Fat and Liu Qingxiu who were carrying eggs and brown sugar.

Aunt Fat took her things and left first.

Zhou Ning was the first to speak: "My mother taught me a lot, and I know some medical skills, maybe I can help."

Liu Qingxiu did not blame the three for not listening, and only said: "Then let's go."

It should be the middle of the night and the moonlight is not very clear.

The road was dark, and the few of them groped their way to Wulai's house.

Wulai was the fifth child, and this daughter-in-law was exchanged for his eldest sister.

His eldest sister married Wulai's wife, and Wulai's wife married Wulai.

When Zhou Ning arrived, the place was also pitch black, with only a faint candlelight in the room to light up.

There were constant screams in the house, and only Wu Lai and his mother, Laonian Wu, were left in the yard.

Because it was night, Zhou Ning couldn't see the expressions of the two people clearly.

I only heard Old Lady Wu take the eggs and brown sugar and said with a smile: "Thank you so much, I'll make it right away."

Wu Lai sighed and said, "This is troublesome. I already have three children. It's not that precious."

Old Lady Wu kicked Wulai and shouted, "You have no conscience. Your wife is giving birth to your child in the room. She is in excruciating pain. What's wrong with eating two eggs?"

Having said that, he went to make a fire and started working.

Wu Lai didn't say anything either.

Suddenly he looked up and saw Zhou Ning, Shen You and a few others. He asked in confusion, "What are you little kids doing here? You should go back and stop causing trouble."

Zhou Ning glanced into the room and said, "Uncle Wulai, who is delivering a baby in the room?"

Wu Lai said unhappily, "She's my second sister-in-law. Hey, what does it have to do with you? Go back to sleep."

Zhou Ning ignored the impatience in his tone and just asked, "How old is Auntie?"

Seeing Wu Lai was about to get angry, Zhou Wan stepped forward and said, "Uncle Wu Lai, my sister knows some medical skills, which is at least a guarantee."

Wu Lai couldn't say anything about this, and finally said: "I don't remember clearly, I estimate it to be around twenty."

Zhou Ning sighed and said, "No, this is very dangerous. I have to go and take a look."

Wu Lai stopped Zhou Ning who was about to enter the house, pushed her and yelled, "I'm telling you, little girl, why are you joining in the fun? Get out of here, do you hear me?"

"It's just the birth of a child, what are you staring at?"

Zhou Ning said coldly: "She is less than 20 years old and has given birth to three children. This is extremely harmful to her body. Have you hired a doctor?"

Wu Lai laughed disdainfully and said, "Isn't this how all women get through life? We don't have the money to hire a doctor, and we can't afford to pay for that. Didn't your mother give birth to you two sisters?"

"So my mother died."

Zhou Ning stared at Wu Lai intently.

At this time, Erlai's wife ran out of the house and shouted, "Oh, Wulai, your wife is bleeding a lot. I can't do anything."

When Zhou Ning heard this, she said to Zhou Wan, "Sister, go get me some candles."

As he spoke, Zhou Ning was about to go into the house.

Wu Lai wanted to stop him, but he felt it was not a big deal.

Shen You seized the opportunity to grab Wu Lai, and Zhou Ning entered the house.

The room was very dark and I could barely see.

The room was very small and could barely fit a bed.

There was only a torn quilt and a woman who was too weak to even shout on the bed.

Zhou Ning went to look at the woman and saw her pale face in the candlelight.

Zhou Ning called her, "Five-Lai Wife, don't sleep. You must not sleep."

The five-laid wife nodded weakly.

Zhou Ning took out the ginseng slices he had bought from his sleeve, stuffed them into Wu Lai's wife's mouth, and said, "Hold it in your mouth, it will feel better."

After saying that, Zhou Ning took the pulse of Wulai's wife.

At this time, the second wife came in, carrying brown sugar eggs.

Zhou Ning said, "Put your things aside, auntie, come and help me."

The second wife didn't quite believe the child and said, "Ning girl, what are you doing?"

"Come on, talk to her, don't let her fall asleep."

Having said that, he gave his seat to the second Lai's wife.

Although Zhou Ning was a child, her calm tone made Erlai's wife unconsciously do what she said.

At this time, Zhou Wan also came with a candle.

After Zhou Ning told Zhou Wan to light the candles, she said, "Sister, I'll leave the hot water to you alone. Don't let anyone else in."

As he spoke, Zhou Ning lifted the quilt and looked at the situation.

She took out the silver needles that she had bought when she went to buy medicinal herbs this afternoon.

Shen You knew very well what Zhou Ning was going to do, so he went to find Jue a long time ago and asked Zhou Wan to give it to Zhou Ning.

Zhou Ning disinfected the silver needle with alcohol.

Then she started to give the acupuncture.
