When Liu Siyue arrived, Doctor Wu was prescribing medicine for Liu Dawang. "Doctor Wu, how is my second uncle? How is my mother?"

"Your second uncle was upset and worried, which is why he fell ill. He was fine after taking a few doses of medicine. The main problem is that the fever is difficult to bring down on its own. You have some alcohol at home, so you can use it to wipe him down to lower his temperature."

"Leave this to me, you go and check on my mother first."

"Ruyu, go and fetch a bowl of water."

Liu Siyue took out fever reducer from her space, dissolved it in a spoon, and fed it to Liu Dawang. She then fed him several more spoonfuls of water.

"Alright, once the medicine takes effect, Uncle's fever will break. Let's go see Mother."

Doctor Wu took Feng's pulse, his brows sometimes relaxing and sometimes furrowing. He picked up a silver needle and inserted it into Feng's body, twisting it vigorously before pulling it out abruptly. After a short while, Feng opened her eyes slightly, feeling weak all over.

Liu Siyue quickly stepped forward and took Feng's hand, "Mother, how are you feeling? Where does it hurt?"

"I'm fine, maybe I'm just tired. I feel weak all over. How's your second uncle?"

"My second uncle is fine. I just gave him some fever reducer. His fever will go down in a bit, and he'll wake up soon."

"You've already given your second uncle fever-reducing medicine?"

"Yes, I ate."

"Where did you get the medicine?"

"I went to the county town to see a doctor to get it, just in case."

"Okay, okay, it's good that you've taken it. I won't give you any more fever-reducing medicine. Have someone come with me to get the other medicine later."

"good.

"Dr. Wu, how is my mother's health?"

"I'm not quite sure about your mother's pulse. It's like a slippery pulse, but it doesn't feel right. In short, it's very strange."

"Doctor, what is a slippery pulse?"

"A slippery pulse indicates pregnancy, so your mother might be pregnant, but I'm not sure. You should go to a clinic to see a doctor."

"Qingwu, go to the county town and invite Doctor Li over."

"Yes, Master."

Madam Feng couldn't believe her ears. Hadn't she injured her body? How could she be pregnant again? Could it be that she had been eating too well and had recovered?

If she really is pregnant, then she'll have the baby. It's fate that the child is here. The family is doing well now, and the child won't suffer. She doesn't want to think about it anymore. Whether it's a boy or a girl, it's her child.

Liu Ruyun held Feng's hand, "Mother, don't worry too much, get some rest. I'll make you some soup to nourish you. You've been so busy these past few days, not eating or sleeping well, you must be exhausted."

Mrs. Feng's face flushed slightly. She was already quite old, and she was pregnant. How would the children view her?

Liu Siyue noticed Feng's embarrassment. "Mother, don't feel guilty. We're here for you."

"At my age..."

"Mother, no one is laughing at you. There are women in the village who are older than you and are pregnant too. Just rest and take care of yourself. We'll talk about everything when the doctor comes."

Ru Yu went with Doctor Wu to get the medicine, but Doctor Wu came back with her. "Doctor Wu, what's going on?"

"I want to see how Doctor Li in the county takes a pulse so I can learn from him." He was a little embarrassed, but there was also suspicion that he was trying to steal the opportunity to learn from him.

Qingwu left quickly and returned quickly. The bumpy ride left Doctor Li unable to get out of the car. Qingwu helped him down, his legs trembling uncontrollably. Her tone was somewhat unfriendly, "You little brat, you almost killed me."

Qingwu scratched her head. "My wife is ill, and I was just a little anxious. I apologize to you: Doctor Li, please forgive me, you are a magnanimous person!"

"Hmph! Aren't you going to help me inside to sit down and pour me a glass of water to calm my nerves!"

Liu Siyue quickly poured a glass of water and handed it over, saying, "Calm down, I'll give you something good later."

"What good stuff?"

"I won't tell you yet, I'll tell you after you've finished your doctor's appointment."

"You little brat, is it fun to keep people in suspense? If you don't have anything good, see how I deal with you."

Liu Siyue chuckled.

Dr. Li took a few sips of water, gradually calming down. "Where is the patient?"

"It's in that room over there, I'll take you there."

When Doctor Li saw Madam Feng, he was stunned. "Isn't this your mother?"

"She's my mother, what's wrong with that?"

"How come you look younger?"

"That's normal. People used to have poor food and housing, but now that life is better, they naturally look younger."

Dr. Li sat by the bed and began to take the pulse, while Dr. Wu stood quietly beside him watching. After taking the left hand, he would frown and nod, then switch to the right hand, as if he had finally confirmed something, and his face lit up with joy.

"Congratulations, congratulations! Madam, this is a pregnancy pulse. The pulse is slippery and strong. I can confirm that it is a double pulse, meaning twins."

Liu Ruyun and her sisters were all stunned. Not only was their mother pregnant, but she was carrying twins. While her younger sisters were very happy, why couldn't Liu Ruyun be happy?

The two younger children surrounded Madam Feng, saying, "Mother, we're going to have a younger brother or sister!"

"Um."

Madam Feng couldn't help but ask, "Doctor, when I gave birth to twins, including my daughter, it damaged my body. The doctor said I couldn't have any more children. Why am I able to get pregnant now?"

"When you injured your head last time, I took your pulse. You were in excellent health, and getting pregnant would have been no problem at all. Look, you're pregnant now!"

"Although you are a bit older, you are in good health, so there shouldn't be any major problems with childbirth. Eat well for the first three months to help stabilize the pregnancy, and then control your food intake and walk around more to make delivery easier."

Doctor Li was invited into the main room, where Doctor Wu carefully accompanied him, inquiring about the pulse-taking process and describing his own experience, asking Doctor Li for guidance.

Liu Ruyun didn't stay in the room and quickly went out. Liu Siyue noticed that she seemed a bit off and followed her out. "Cousin, what's wrong?"

"I'm so scared of April!"

What are you afraid of?

"Mom is pregnant with twins! When Mom gave birth to her two little sisters, she almost died. Now that she's older, I'm really afraid something might happen to her. I don't want any more brothers or sisters. I just want Mom to live a good life."

Liu Siyue understood her feelings. "Cousin, it depends on Mother herself. I can't make that decision for anyone."

Liu Ruyun then tested her mother and discovered that her mother had high hopes for the two children. Since her mother wanted them, she would protect them and ensure her mother's safety.

From then on, Ms. Feng began her pregnancy care routine and became the apple of her family's eye.

As soon as Liu Siyue entered the main room, Doctor Li immediately perked up, "Did they bring me something good?"

"I guess so!"

"What do you mean by 'sort of'?"

"Dr. Li, Dr. Wu, would you like to learn a new medical skill?"

"New medical techniques? What new medical techniques? Where can I learn them?"

"I'll provide you with medical books and tools. You can study them yourselves. This medical technique isn't difficult; it mainly targets external injuries. Do you want to learn it?"

"Of course I'll learn!"

"good.

I have a request: once you've learned it, you have to help me bring some people out with you, okay?

"No problem, it's just teaching an apprentice."

"Then it's a deal. Doctor Li's anesthetic powder will come in handy."

"Wait here, I'll go get your things."

A moment later, Liu Siyue brought over a medical book on the treatment of external injuries. It was called a book, but it was actually only a few pages long, which she had handwritten herself. There were also two sets of tools. Liu Siyue put the things on the table and said, "Take a look for yourselves."
