Divorced by her husband's family and rejected by her own! She defiantly turned her life around

Chapter 161 Suffering losses is minor; the hope is that everyone will benefit.

"Madam, your bath is ready."

"Okay, I'll wash it later."

A moment later, Qingwu accompanied Doctor Li in. "I really didn't expect the old lady to wake up so quickly. What have you all been doing?"

"We didn't do anything, we just talked to Mom for a while, then Mom's eyelids twitched, and we continued talking, and then Mom woke up, that's all."

"You must have said something that upset the patient, which is why she woke up."

"Dr. Li, after my mother woke up, she only remembered my daughter; she didn't remember anyone else or anything else."

Liu Siyue and her entourage arrived at the reception room and took their seats. Doctor Li began to take Feng's pulse. After taking both of her pulses, he said, "The old lady is in good health. As for losing her memory, it is a sequela of the severe head injury. Let the old lady interact with familiar people and things, and tell her about the things that happened in the past. She will gradually remember."

After examining the patients, Doctor Li looked at Liu Siyue and said, "Madam Liu, now that you have some free time, tell me about Hua Tuo and Mafeisan (an anesthetic)!"

Liu Siyue couldn't resist his pestering; he really loved this profession.

"Actually, I also saw it in an ancient book. Do you remember the prescription for snakes coiling around the waist? It's the medical book of the old man who set up a stall to treat patients that I mentioned before."

Hua Tuo was among them; he was a legendary physician, and he was the one who developed Mafeisan (a type of anesthetic).

I read that book a lot and memorized a lot of the prescriptions, but later, due to a head injury, I couldn't remember many of them.

However, I still remember Mafeisan (麻沸散), because its effects were miraculous.

"What kind of magical artifact has such effects?"

"Making a person lose consciousness allows seriously injured patients to receive treatment without feeling pain."

This medicine is most useful in the military.

Dr. Li knew that some soldiers wounded on the battlefield died from the excruciating pain during treatment, a chilling thought.

"Then quickly write down the prescription."

"No, no, no, I misspoke. Let's go to the pharmacy together and talk to the shopkeeper. We need to pay for this prescription."

Liu Siyue chuckled, "Dr. Li, you know how rare this prescription is. Some people spend their entire lives trying to come up with a prescription like this."

The prescriptions are a miraculous tool for saving lives and helping people. Huichuntang treats illnesses and saves lives, but it is also a business.

Since we're doing business, I'm willing to sell you the recipe. I'll go with you now.

Qingwu drove the carriage to take the two to Huichuntang. There they met Wang Dehai, the manager of Huichuntang. He had not been at the clinic that morning, but when he returned and heard that Madam Liu had come, he was a little disappointed that he had not seen her.

"Manager Wang, everything is going well lately!"

"Thanks to Madam Liu, everything is fine."

"I wasn't at the clinic this morning. I only found out you came and left when I got back. I was even feeling sorry for not seeing you. I didn't expect to meet you so soon." Manager Wang laughed heartily.

Liu Siyue smiled slightly, and Doctor Li got straight to the point, "We're all acquaintances, so let's not stand on ceremony. I have something important to say."

"Shopkeeper, Madam Liu has a prescription for an anesthetic powder that she wants to sell to us."

Shopkeeper Wang became interested upon hearing this, "What prescription could make Doctor Li so excited?"

Doctor Li explained the uses of the anesthetic powder, and Manager Wang smiled. If their boss gave this prescription to the general, they would not only receive the general's protection, but also help the soldiers on the battlefield—a win-win situation.

Thinking this through, Manager Wang said, "I wonder how much silver Madam Liu wants for this? You can't ask for too much!"

"Manager Wang, I never intended to sell this prescription. Since it's a business transaction, I should at least offer a token of appreciation. However, I have one request: I hope you can promote this prescription so that more people can benefit from it."

Don't worry about that. We'll keep the prescription to ourselves, but we'll sell the medicine at a reasonable price. We'll never overcharge. Huichuntang is a reputable medical clinic with a century-old tradition; we'll never tarnish our reputation.

"Alright, one price, 500 taels."

Manager Wang and Doctor Li both laughed. "Madam Liu is indeed righteous, which we admire. It's practically a free gift."

"If Madam Liu ever encounters any difficulties in the future, please feel free to come to me. I will do my best to help."

"I would like to thank the shopkeeper in advance!"

I'll write down the prescription now.

"I'll write the contract now."

Shopkeeper Wang and Liu Siyue started writing, and Liu Siyue signed and pressed her fingerprint on the contract.

She handed the prescription to Manager Wang, who took a look and exclaimed, "I really didn't expect that after so long, Madam Liu's handwriting has become so neat and beautiful. It's clear that she has put in a lot of effort."

"Last time Manager Wang gave me a brush and ink, how could I let you down? I practiced whenever I had free time after I got back, and now my writing is finally starting to look decent, and it's not so annoying to look at."

Manager Wang laughed heartily again, "Madam Liu is a woman of great courage and will surely achieve great things in the future."

Shopkeeper Wang gave the prescription to Doctor Li, who took it and studied it carefully. "Great! That's wonderful! I'll go prepare it right now; we have all these herbs in our shop."

"Dr. Li, please wait. The dosage of this medicine must be carefully controlled. If too little is used, the effect will wear off quickly; if too much is used, the patient will remain unconscious. Therefore, we must make a judgment based on the severity of the injury."

"I understand. Once the medicine is prepared, we will verify it." Doctor Li left excitedly. Although he didn't develop the prescription, he discovered it. Without him, there would be no prescription. He really had a discerning eye. It was quite nice to praise himself.

Manager Wang handed her 500 taels of silver notes, saying, "Madam Liu, if you ever think of any good prescriptions in the future, just bring them to our Huichuntang. We will definitely make sure you don't lose out."

"It's a small matter if I suffer a loss; I hope that everyone can benefit."

"I was narrow-minded; Madam Liu is truly virtuous."

Liu Siyue had just bid farewell to Manager Wang and hadn't even left the clinic when a woman carrying a child rushed in, crying, "Doctor, doctor, help me!"

Dr. Li was focused on preparing the medicine when he heard the noise and immediately came out. "What's going on?"

"Doctor, my son choked on something while eating. Please help him!"

When Dr. Li saw the child in the woman's arms, the child's face had turned blue and purple, and the child's eyes were rolling back.

Dr. Li shook his head, sighed, and said, "Take the child back."

Liu Siyue squeezed in, saying, "Give me the child, I'll give it a try."

The woman had fainted from crying. Liu Siyue took the child from her and began to provide first aid.

One, two, three... until the eighteenth time, a meatball fell out of the child's mouth. Liu Siyue was both nervous and exhausted. "Dr. Li, please take a look at the child."

Dr. Li took the child and immediately administered acupuncture. After a while, the child's chest began to rise and fall, the cyanosis on the face gradually faded, and the child regained the strength to breathe.

Dr. Li was also covered in sweat, but he finally managed to snatch the person back from the clutches of death.

"Dewey, take the child to the ward first."

The woman on the ground was still unconscious. Doctor Li gave her an injection, and she slowly woke up. When she saw that her child was gone, she cried out, "My child, how can I live without you!"

Where have you taken my son? Give me back my son!

"Son, don't be afraid, Mother is coming to be with you!" The woman got up and tried to run into a pillar in the clinic. Liu Siyue was quick-witted and kicked the woman. The woman missed the pillar, rolled to the side, and lay on the ground howling and groaning.

The onlookers broke out in a cold sweat. What a close call!
