"Come here quickly. I really can't stop the bleeding." Mrs. Wang said, "She just got out of bed and bumped into it accidentally. This is terrible."
"If she just got out of bed, how could it be so serious? I'm afraid she didn't take good care of her body and she was worried during the confinement period." Mary said: "Am I wrong?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Huo Song's face was filled with shame. "My parents died early, and there was no one to take care of her during the confinement period. I had to go to the city to work and earn money, so she had to take care of herself. Yesterday, the water ran out, and I hadn't been home for a long time, so she went to fetch water herself. Sister-in-law, you must think of a way to make her better."
"I'll stop the bleeding first." Mary frowned. "You go out and wait. Aunt Wang, please arrange some clean hot water. We still need to clean her up."
"Okay." Mrs. Wang also went out.
Mary gave acupuncture to Huo Song's wife to stop the bleeding.
Huo Song's wife finally came back to her senses.
She looked at Mary and said weakly: "Thank you. You saved me again."
Mary said: "Don't be so stubborn. In your current situation, even if you ask your neighbors for help, no one will refuse. Why did you make yourself like this? Now you are fine. Originally, you could have recovered in two years of treatment, but now I am afraid..."
"I know I was wrong. But is it too late now? Can I really not have another child?" Huo Song's wife choked up.
"Alright, alright." Mrs. Wang consoled him. "Save your life first. We can talk about other things later! If you are alive, the little one will have a mother. It would be pitiful if he didn't have a mother!"
Huo Song was listening to the conversation from outside: "Wife, I'm glad you're okay. I will take good care of you in the future and won't let you suffer these grievances. As for the child, we have Xiaobao, which is enough. Don't put so much pressure on yourself."
When people outside heard that Mary had saved Huo Song's wife again, they were completely convinced that she knew medical skills. The voices of disbelief that had been there before had now disappeared.
Huo Song was grateful to Mary in many ways.
"Here are ten cents. I know it's a little too little. I hope you don't mind." Huo Song said, "Since you know medicine, there's a job you want to take. I'm working in the city. The lady of that family is pregnant and has all kinds of discomforts. She has invited many doctors and healers but none of them can cure her. She's about to give birth and her body is getting weaker and weaker. The boss is very anxious."
"If you take this business, you will definitely need money. But it is a risky job. If something happens to your wife, you will also be in trouble. You see..."
"Answer it." Mary agreed without hesitation. "Please ask for me tomorrow. If the other party is willing to let me go and take a look, I will go."
"That's fine." Huo Song cupped his hands and bowed. "Thank you. We will never forget your kindness. I'm sorry for what happened in the past."
"Okay, I'm not that mean. Besides, the past was the past, and I wasn't very kind back then. It's normal for you to hate me. But you can't do this anymore."
Mary waved her hand and walked towards her own courtyard under everyone's admiring gazes.
When she got home, she counted the ten copper coins.
"So this is what money looked like in ancient times." Mary thought about the prices of goods in ancient times and knew that this was already a huge sum of money for Huo Song.
She has everything she wants in modern times, so it doesn't make sense for her to live such a poor life in ancient times. Therefore, she must work hard to make money and strive to reach the peak of her life.
The next day, Mary worked as usual.
But at noon, a carriage suddenly appeared and stopped in front of her house.
An old woman stepped out of the carriage.
The old woman was dressed elegantly. The handkerchief in her hand was made of silk, the hairpin in her hair was made of silver, and she also wore a gold bracelet on her hand.
All this seemed different from the women in the village.
"Is this the Jian family's home?" said the old woman.
The man driving the coach was none other than Huo Song.
Huo Song said politely, "Mammy, this is Sister-in-law Jian's home."
"Then knock on the door!" The old lady held her handkerchief and looked at the mud on the ground with disgust.
Huo Song knocked on the door.
Mary opened the door, looked at the scene in front of her, and said, "This is..."
"Sister-in-law, this is Nanny Fang. She is the nanny that came with the Madam. We are here to take you to see the Madam." Huo Song gestured to Mary.
Mary looked at Nanny Fang and said to Huo Song beside her: "Didn't I tell you that I don't treat anyone casually?"
Huo Song was stunned for a moment.
If Mary hadn't winked at him, he would have thought that he had done something bad with good intentions.
Huo Songneng had seen a lot of things when he worked in the city. When he saw Mary's expression, he knew she had a plan. Although he didn't know what her plan was.
"It's my fault. I was so worried about the madam's condition that I took the initiative to come to the boss to talk about this matter. Mrs. Jane didn't know what I was thinking before." Huo Song said.
After hearing what Huo Song said, Nanny Fang changed her attitude towards Mary. She calmed down a bit and said, "Since you have some ability, why don't you go and try your luck with our Madam? If you can really help Madam give birth safely, you will certainly get a reward. Your family is so poor, if you get a reward, wouldn't that be a great blessing?"
"My family is indeed poor, but we live a stable life! It's not easy to get into a rich family. You might go in vertically today and come out horizontally tomorrow. Forget it." Mary waved her hand. "You should ask for help from someone else!"
"Huo Song, you were the one who started this matter. So you decide how to deal with it!" Nanny Fang said with a dark face.
Huo Song quickly said something nice: "Sister-in-law, please help! The boss and his wife are both very nice people. I work there every day, and occasionally I see his wife walking very carefully, and her face is frighteningly pale. There are so many pregnant women in the village, and I have never seen one so weak? If it goes on like this, I'm afraid... Doctors are kind-hearted, and you don't want to see your wife suffer like this, right?"
