106 A Famous Doctor
Lady Zhao received Lu Jiao’s ssage loud and clear. She was right! What if her next daughter-in-law was a troublemaker?
Lin Chunyan had always complied with her requests and was keen on spending the rest of her life in this family peacefully. To have such a daughter-in-law was a blessing.
Finally, Lady Zhao dismissed her thought of kicking Lin Chunyan out of the family. She asked Lu Jiao, “Are you sure she can bear children once she’s cured?”
“Yes.”
This one word was the saving grace for Lin Chunyan. With much appreciation, she stared at Lu Jiao. If Lady Zhao wasn’t around, she would’ve knelt for Lu Jiao.
“I’m going to write her a prescription. You need to brew the dicine for her daily. This dicine isn’t too costly. Also, she needs to eat better.”
“Okay, okay, thank you, Yunjin’s wife.”
Lady Zhao was over the moon to hear that the dicine was cheap.
The reality was that Lu Jiao could’ve given her a more expensive prescription that would be more effective. She was afraid, however, that Lady Zhao would give Lin Chunyan a hard ti if the dicine was too expensive.
Therefore, Lu Jiao decided to go with dicine that was more of average quality. She needed to find a way to feed Lin Chunyan so spiritual stream water so she could heal faster.
After she was done, she got up to leave with the four little ones.
Before she could leave, the Second Grandma ca over with her youngest daughter-in-law, Changi.
“Jiaojiao, can you take a look at Changi next?”
The Second Grandma felt bad for asking but Lu Jiao agreed right away.
“Sure.”
It made no difference to Lu Jiao at this point, especially since the Second Grandma asked.
Lu Jiao went back to sit in the living room and asked Changi to rest her arm on the table.
Changi’s face was extrely pale and she was extrely skinny. She looked as if a gust of wind could blow her away.
It was obvious that she was sick – she almost looked like a terminally ill patient.
While Lu Jiao diagnosed her pulse, the Second Grandma went to her room to find so white sugar, so she could give the three children so sugar water.
“Good boys, have so water.”
The three little ones glanced Lu Jiao, who indicated to them that they could accept the water.
The children grinned ear to ear and drank the water while they thanked the Second Grandma.
“Thank you, Second Grandma.”
The cuteness of those three made the Second Grandma’s heart explode. She looked for her granddaughter-in-law and her daughter-in-law and sighed.
Her granddaughter-in-law couldn’t have children while her daughter-in-law gave birth to three girls. She hasn’t even gotten a boy yet and had already fallen ill. At this rate, she was going to lose her life before she had more children.
After diagnosing Changi’s pulse, Lu Jiao asked her so sensitive questions. In the end, she suspected that Changi was suffering from a gynecological disease.
In this era, there were no female doctors. Won were far too embarrassed to tell male doctors about their symptoms. Most of the ti, they don’t get the right treatnt and never get better.
As Lu Jiao pondered, she asked the Second Grandma, “Grandma, can you give a private room?”
Everyone gawked at her, not knowing why she would need a room.
The Second Grandma stood up imdiately, “you can use my room.”
Lu Jiao nodded and said to Changi, “Co with . I’m going to do a physical examination.”
She then said to her children, “I’m going to bring your aunty inside so I can examine her. You boys stay here and wait. I won’t be long.”
The three little ones nodded, “We know, mommy.”
These cute boys made Lady Zhao greedy for grandchildren. Honestly, how did these boys co to be? They were born cute and respectful. They were nothing like her children. Her youngest son, for example, made it a mission to piss her off every day.
The more Lady Zhao looked at the three kids, the more she liked them. She pulled on their hands and wished they were her own.
In the next room, the Second Grandma and Changi waited. Lu Jiao didn’t ask the Second Grandma to leave. She asked Changi to take off her clothes, so she could examine her.
Changi’s face turned white and she rejected.
The Second Grandma glared at her and then asked Lu Jiao, “Jiaojiao, why do you need her to take off her clothes?”
Lu Jiao explained, “I suspect she has vaginitis.”
Knowing that they have no idea what that is, she extrapolated, “It ans her lower body is infected with bacteria. Normally, she gets itchy and wants to scratch. There’s also a sll to it. There are many different types of infection. I need to check it out to see which one she has.”
The Second Grandma turned to Changi, who was so embarrassed she wanted to bury her head under the ground.
At once, the Second Grandma knew that Lu Jiao was right. Her face dropped and she ordered, “Enough, take off your clothes and let Jiaojiao take a look. You need to treat your illness.”
Changi hesitantly asked, “Is this curable?”
Lu Jiao nodded, “Yes. It may take a while but it’s curable.”
At once, Changi started to take off her pants. That area of hers was extrely itchy and it made her so uncomfortable. Plus, her man refused to touch her these days, saying that she stank.
All these factors put her in a really bad mood and her body got worse as a result.
Lu Jiao took out a vaginal dilator and examined Changi. Afterwards, she concluded that she had fungal vaginitis.
“You have a yeast infection. This ans you get very itchy down there with lots of discharge that may look like little pieces of tofu. You likely feel pain when you pee.”
Lu Jiao wanted to say that she likely felt pain during intercourse, but she was too afraid to be honest in front of these two won. They might go into shock.
Lu Jiao took off her gloves and put away the vaginal dilator. She said to the Second Grandma, “Throw this out later.”
The Second Grandma nodded, “Okay.”
She then nervously looked to Lu Jiao, “Jiaojiao, is this disease really curable? She’s had three daughters and hasn’t gotten pregnant since. Is it related to the disease?”
Lu Jiao nodded, “It may affect it.”
She then said to Changi, “While you are symptomatic, you shouldn’t have relations with your husband. Plus, once you are healed, you need to ask your man to be sanitary.”
The Second Grandma and Changi both looked stunned. Growing up, they never talked about this topic. What Lu Jiao was saying was difficult to understand.
Lu Jiao didn’t say more in case it would scare them.
“I will write you a prescription and you can get dicine from Baohe Tang.”
Though she had so dicine at ho, it was best for her to get it from Baohe Tang.
“Okay.”
Lu Jiao washed her hands and then took the three little ones to the Village Leader’s ho.
On the way there, many people blocked Lu Jiao’s way and asked her to offer dical advice.
Lu Jiao was speechless. So it appeared that after she saved Xia Lian, the villagers were now convinced that she was a good doctor. Everyone who had so level of discomfort now wanted a consultation.
She didn’t have the ti to do a ho visit for all these villagers.
