Da Song a knife

Chapter 451 Misunderstanding
The two families quickly picked up the mother's body and brought the child home.

When paying the consultation fee, Zhenniang didn't charge much, even a little less than normal delivery.

Zhang Sijiu knew that because less medicine and equipment were used at that time, the cost was indeed reduced a lot.Basically, it is the cost of caring for the children and the hard work of the two of them.But even so, it should be a little higher than normal delivery, so Zhang Sijiu asked Zhenniang very puzzled: "Why is it so cheap?"

Zhenniang smiled as she tidied up the dried cotton cloths: "Didn't you see, their family is not rich. Although there are no patches on the clothes, they are just an ordinary family. If the collection is expensive, they have to do funerals, my child." What should I do if I hire a wet nurse in the future? And, after all, this is the situation, according to the rules, you can't take too much. It's a good deed."

rule?Zhang Sijiu didn't know there was such a rule.

But seeing that Zhenniang didn't want to say more, she turned to ask Cheng Wanli.

Cheng Wanli came back from the free clinic, took two sips of the hot water handed over by Zhang Sijiu, and then slowly replied: "There is such a rule. But it is mainly because of bad luck. You know, who used to be invited to do it this matter?"

Zhang Sijiu raised his eyebrows, "Not a doctor?"

"En." Cheng Wanli responded, but also sighed.The water brought to his mouth was also put down: "As for who it is, you don't want to guess."

Zhang Sijiu took a serious guess, ruled out several possible occupations in his mind, and finally came to a bold conclusion: "Pig butcher?"

Cheng Wanli glanced at Zhang Sijiu in surprise, looking at her pair of smart eyes, but felt that it was not the most surprising: with Zhang Sijiu's intelligence, it would be strange if he couldn't guess it!
He nodded, "The pig butcher usually slaughters the most pigs and divides the meat, so it is the most handy to do this kind of thing. But the pig butcher is very fierce, and most of the children born will not survive. I don't know which one The Patriarch established this unwritten rule, if you encounter such a situation, you can accept less money, or even no money, but you must do your best, just to accumulate virtue for yourself."

Zhang Sijiu doesn't know whether to accumulate virtue or not.

But she understands why most of the babies delivered by the butcher don't survive - it's a matter of technology plus time.

If the mother's body dies, the child must be separated from the mother's body within half an hour at most, otherwise the child will also die due to suffocation.

But now the conditions are not good, so I went to find someone temporarily, and there was a lot of time delay on the way back and forth, and after I came, I had to add the operation time.

Don't look at it as a matter of one knife, if you cut too much, you will hurt the child, if you cut too little, you have to keep cutting——

Under such circumstances, hypoxia and suffocation, plus the possibility of being injured by the butcher, can the child's survival rate be so high?
In fact, if Zhang Sijiu hadn't had enough experience in surgery, it would have been impossible to take out the child in such a short period of time.That's it, it's still a risk, it's not cut layer by layer.

Zhang Sijiu couldn't help asking his inner doubts: "Then, Lao Cheng, are you sure that most of the children will survive if the doctor does it?"

Butchers are courageous and experienced.

Can a doctor who doesn't usually touch a knife really be able to use a knife?Do you really not tremble in your hands and be afraid in your heart?

Zhang Sijiu really had such a question.

Cheng Wanli was stopped by this question.

I have to say, this matter is really very...fascinating.

But Cheng Wanli, who already had surgical experience, didn't dare to think about it after thinking about it for a while.

In the end, he laughed twice: "Anyway, it's right to charge less money. Just treat it as a funeral ceremony."

Zhang Sijiu stopped talking nonsense, nodded, and asked Cheng Wanli: "I think Zhenniang likes children very much. If you are reluctant to give birth to Zhenniang, Cheng, you might as well adopt a child—"

In this line of work, I often meet children that others don't want.

When Cheng Wanli mentioned this matter, he hesitated for a moment, and asked Zhang Sijiu: "Jiu Niang, tell me, does Zhen Niang want a child, or does she want a child of her own? Her body has been recuperating for so long. It's not completely hopeless. But I always feel...that's not necessary."

Zhang Sijiu said truthfully: "I don't know. If you're not sure, you might as well ask her directly."

Cheng Wanli still hesitated.

Doctor Qi came over in a hurry at this time, and he said immediately: "Jiu Niang, Jiu Niang, your uncle is coming!"

Suddenly three question marks popped up on Zhang Sijiu's head:? ? ?

She asked, "Which uncle?"

"Do you have many uncles?" Dr. Qi was taken aback, and asked back.

Zhang Sijiu shook his head: "No."

Not even a master, where did the uncle come from?
Oh, if old Cheng counts as a master, then Dr. Qi is an uncle—but that's not an uncle!
"Isn't your master just this junior brother? You'd better stop talking nonsense and go with me to pick him up at the gate of the city!" Doctor Qi couldn't help but dragged Zhang Sijiu and led her out.

Zhang Sijiu was dragged all the way, and he didn't have time to ask who the uncle was.

But soon, Zhang Sijiu knew who the uncle was.

Uncle Shi is famous, Zheng Wentao, the order of the imperial medical office of the state capital.

Zheng Wentao's medical skills are not very good, but he is a good person.At least he has a good character and good popularity, so he was able to serve as an order of the Imperial Medical Office in the state capital here, and he did it for several years.

And Zheng Wentao has another identity.

That is Gu Qingzhou's younger brother.

Gu Qingzhou is really just such a junior.

It is said that Zheng Wentao was picked up and raised by Gu Qingzhou, and the relationship between the two brothers is very good.

Standing at the gate of the city, Zhang Sijiu was completely confused after learning that the person he was going to pick up was Zheng Wentao: I said it, Gu Qingzhou is not my master!It turned out that you guys didn't believe it!If you don't believe me, let me pick you up!

That's all right now, if I don't dig out a three-bedroom and one-living room, I'm sorry for the embarrassment.

What was even more embarrassing, even to the point of suffocation, was that Zhang Sijiu had no time to explain and run away, and the person had already arrived.

When Doctor Qi saw the carriage, he couldn't help but dragged Zhang Sijiu past him, and trotted towards him.

That courteous look made Zhang Sijiu have no doubt that Dr. Qi was going to flatter him.

But Zhang Sijiu felt that Dr. Qi's flattery today was destined to be slapped on the horse's legs.Not only does it have no effect, it may even be counterproductive.

She wanted to cover her face.

But she couldn't care less.At the last second, she tried to catch Dr. Qi and explain clearly: "I'm not—"

Doctor Qi's hearty laughter has already sounded: "Doctor Zheng, I brought Jiuniang here specially! Speaking of which, this is the first time you two have met!"

He pushed Zhang Sijiu: "Go up and call Master Uncle!"

　See you tomorrow~
