The Daily Life of a Down-on-Hard-Life Medicine Girl Supporting Her Family

Chapter 260

"aunt……"

Zhou Rong cried in Zhou's arms, her face streaked with tears.

"Good child, Auntie is here, Auntie is here."

At this point, no amount of comforting will help; it would be better to let her have a good cry.

While stroking her head, Zhou said, "Auntie understands how you feel. Don't be afraid, your auntie is here. Your cousin-in-law is really amazing. She can cure so many diseases, so there's definitely no problem with that."

"Auntie, you're so kind."

Zhou Rong hasn't wanted to see anyone since giving birth to this thing.

And then they really didn't come to see him.

Even my mother and eldest sister haven't come to visit.

This made Zhou Rong even more upset.

Yes, Mother only helps my eldest sister with her work; she's getting married.

Mothers don't care whether they can get married or not.

Only her aunt genuinely cared for her!
Try to find a solution for her, comfort her, and give her advice.

Her aunt's comforting words made her feel comfortable and appreciated, and she felt a sense of warmth.

"My dear Rong'er, why don't you come back to town with your aunt tonight to find your cousin-in-law?"

There's no time to lose, let's go today.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, aunt."

"That's fine. I'll have the maid bring you some food. Eat something first, and after your aunt finishes the feast, I'll take you back to town, okay?"

"Yes, I'll do whatever Auntie says."

"That's right, don't be afraid, it's not a big deal, there's no hurdle you can't overcome."

After leaving the courtyard, Madam Zhou instructed the maids and servants to prepare food for Zhou Rong.

"Aunt, Miss won't eat it."

The maid hurriedly replied, "Miss, you've already spilled the food I brought half an hour ago."

“That was half an hour ago.” Madam Zhou glanced at the girl, who was really insensible: “Now, your young lady is going to eat, so hurry up and prepare it.”

Why can’t you understand what people are saying?
It seems that the Fourth Madam hasn't managed these maids well; they're still lacking in serving others.

"Yes, Auntie."

The girl was also very resentful.

She's just a concubine; does she think she can take charge of the Zhou family?

Zhou glanced at her; if this girl were in the Zhao family, she would have been sent away long ago.

Managing the inner quarters of the household really requires some skill.

Of course, Zhou also understood that not all inner quarters were as clean and pure as the Zhao family's.

This week, the Fourth Master has one wife and three concubines, and eight illegitimate sons and daughters. The Fourth Wife is in a tough spot!

When Zhou came out, she saw that the fourth wife was still entertaining guests.

She has no daughter, so she can't understand the hardship of marrying off a daughter.

"Aunt?"

"Fourth Madam, I've sent someone to deliver some food to Rong'er."

"Rong'er is eating now?"

The fourth wife was pleasantly surprised: "She's willing to listen to you now?"

“Yes, I’m willing to listen,” Zhou said. “After we finish eating, I’ll take Rong’er back to the Zhao family and have the third son’s wife take a look at Rong’er and see how to treat her.”

"Oh dear, thank you so much, Auntie!" Fourth Madam said gratefully. "Should I take her tomorrow?"

"You have a lot to do tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after that. Rong'er is all grown up now, so you can rest assured that she's willing to come with me."

"This is truly..." Fourth Madam was extremely grateful: "I must thank you properly later."

"Why should we, as sisters-in-law, be so distant?"

The two exchanged a smile, their affection running deep. In Zhou Rong's courtyard, the maid felt a little more at ease watching her young mistress eat heartily.

I thought to myself, "Finally, I'm hungry! Finally, I know it's time to eat!"
Humans are so ungrateful!

Thinking about these girls, when will they ever get to eat such good food? But this guy gets angry even though he gets to eat, and throws it all away.

It's really speechless.

Zhou Rong buried her head and ate heartily, then tears streamed down her face again.

No matter how many people are in the family, how many are truly close? How many genuinely care about her?
None of them are as good as my aunt.

After the meal, Zhou took her leave.

Zhou Rong, with a veil on her face, followed her into the carriage.

"Rong'er, I'll come pick you up when I'm done with my work."

"No need, you go about your business."

Zhou Rong no longer expected her mother to do anything for her.

She's so happy now, her eldest daughter got married to a wonderful man. How can she still remember her second daughter's face full of dark spots and acne?
Zhou took Zhou Rong back to the Zhao family, settled her in the guest quarters, and had someone summon Chunnuan.

"Why did Mother summon her daughter-in-law so late?"

Zhou was not a harsh person. Chunnuan did not need to pay her respects morning and night. She only needed to be summoned when she needed something.

"Is such that……"

Zhou told her about Zhou Rong's matter.

“I felt that the child couldn’t continue like this, so I took it upon myself to bring her back. I think you must have a way to treat her. No matter what, treat her slowly. Even if you can’t cure her face, at least you can heal her heart and let her face these things with equanimity.”

“Mother, I understand. This is not a serious illness and it can be cured.”

"Can it be cured? Can it really be cured?"

Zhou brought Zhou Rong out with only a 50% chance of success, but Chunnuan said she could cure him without even examining him.

That’s the thing!
"Yes, Mother, let's go see this Miss Cousin."

Chunnuan felt that a fifteen-year-old girl was at the age where she loved beauty, so it was no wonder that she was unwilling to go out and meet people.

Zhou Rong met the legendary female doctor, who turned out to be his cousin-in-law, and he greatly admired her.

"Rong'er greets her aunt and cousin-in-law."

“Good child, don’t be so polite.” Zhou helped her up: “Sit down, your cousin-in-law will take your pulse and examine you.”

"Thank you, cousin."

"You're welcome." Chunnuan looked at her face. "Could you please take off your veil?"

"I'm afraid of scaring my cousin's wife."

"It's alright, I'm a doctor, I've seen all kinds of things, and besides, this isn't your fault."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Rong's tears welled up again!

Yes, it's not her fault. Why does she have these things growing out of her head?

"Let me take your pulse and examine you."

Zhou Rong obediently extended her hand, allowing Chun Nuan to take her pulse.

As Chunnuan took his pulse, she couldn't help but frown: This is truly the first time I've ever seen this before!

"Sister-in-law, is Rong'er's illness difficult to cure?"

Otherwise, why would she frown?

“It’s not difficult. Your cousin-in-law will prescribe some medicine for you, one for topical application and one for oral administration,” Chun Nuan said. “After taking a few doses, you will gradually get better. I guarantee your face will be back to normal in less than three months.”

"really?"

“Of course it’s true, you have to trust my medical skills.” Chun Nuan smiled and said, “Don’t worry, it’s not a serious illness.”

In the doctor's eyes, this was not a serious illness, but little did she know that in her eyes, the sky had fallen.

When spring arrived, I wrote out the prescription, dried it, and handed it to the angelica dahurica plant beside me.

"Go to the pharmacy tomorrow and get the medicine. Remember, one dose is for decocting and taking, and the other is for applying to the face," Chunnuan said. "You will personally oversee the decoction and also personally apply it to Miss Biao."
