Transmigrated As A Delicate Bundle Of Luck For A Farming Family

Chapter 71: Midnight Visit To The Doctor

Su Sanlang himself was alarmed. He thought that after a few years, he might no longer be so lucky, but the facts told him otherwise.

As he looked at the small figure walking ahead of him, Su Sanlang silently told himself that he couldn’t do this again. Two years ago, people had thought he was just lucky. If he was still the same now, everyone would notice the difference.

There was something strange about his fourth daughter. If someone with ulterior motives found out, they would not be able to tolerate her. Fortunately, it was almost dark.

There was enough land to feed his family. There was no need to hunt again.

Su Sanlang hid his thoughts and silently changed the topic. “Heng, have you ever eaten pheasants?”

Zhou Heng nodded and replied, “I’ve eaten it before, but I’ve already forgotten what it tastes like.”

Last year, before his leg was injured, he had eaten pheasants, hares, wild boars, wild deer, bears, and so on. But ever since he was injured, he had not had the chance to eat those again.

Su Sanlang smiled and said, “When you go back today, I’ll ask your aunt to stew it for you. Eat more later.”

Zhou Heng smiled and agreed. “Okay, thank you, Uncle.”

After returning home, Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao went to deal with the pheasant for dinner.

Su Xiaolu also began to administer the acupuncture that she had missed at noon.

When he was done with the needles and packed them up, dinner was ready.

They had pheasants for dinner. Old Wu happily drank his precious wine and generously poured a cup for Su Sanlang. “Come, don’t hold back.”

……

Su Sanlang smiled and nodded. “Okay.”

Su Sanlang could drink, but he hadn’t touched alcohol in years. Alcohol costs money. He couldn’t bear to spend it, so he didn’t drink.

However, recently, with Old Wu, he could often drink wine. Old Wu liked to drink, but he did not take out his precious wine every day.

The children ate their chicken obediently and quietly.

Madam Zhao gave the drumstick to Zhou Heng and said gently, “Heng, come, have a drumstick.”

Zhou Heng smiled and thanked Madam Zhao. He looked at Su Xiaolu and her siblings and realized that they did not mind this at all. No one would stare at them. They were all happily eating from their bowls.

The Su family had very good table manners.

Zhou Heng quickly gave the drumstick to Su Xiaoling.

Su Xiaoling looked up and was about to return it to Zhou Heng when he turned around and focused on eating.

Su Xiaoling wanted to give it to Su Xiaolu.

Su Xiaolu’s head was almost buried in her bowl.

Zhou Heng looked at Su Xiaoling and mouthed two words.

Su Xiaoling understood. Zhou Heng said, “You eat.”

After saying that, Zhou Heng lowered his head and ate. Su Xiaoling looked at the drumstick in her bowl. In the end, she still ate it. For some reason, she felt that this drumstick was sweet.

Su Xiaolu secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She secretly looked at Zhou Heng and then at Su Xiaoling. She had a terrifying guess in her heart. Could it be that Zhou Heng likes her third sister?

Soon, Su Xiaoling denied this guess. How was that possible? Zhou Heng was only seven years old. What did a seven-year-old child know? He was probably just grateful to her third sister for treating him well.

A little boy who said little but knew how to be grateful. Well, not bad, not bad.

Old Wu liked to eat meat very much. The pheasant’s meat was fragrant and fresh, so he naturally became greedy.

Since there was nothing for him to do, he went to sleep when he got drunk.

As for Su Sanlang’s family, they went to bed as well after washing up.

In the middle of the night, Su Sanlang’s family was woken by a knock on the door.

Madam Zhao rubbed her eyes and nudged Su Sanlang. “Sanlang, there’s someone knocking on Dr. Wu’s door.”

Su Su Sanlang woke up to the sound of urgent banging and shouting, and it was a familiar voice.

He sobered up and said, “Why does that sound like Brother Hu’s voice? Darling, sleep first. I’ll go out and take a look.”

With that, Su Sanlang got up, picked up the clothes by the bed, and put them on. Then he opened the door and went out.

Old Wu got drunk that night and was sleeping soundly, so no matter how much Chen Hu knocked on the door, there was no response. When Su Sanlang came out, he could clearly hear the trembling in Chen Hu’s anxious voice.

“Doctor Wu, please open the door. Doctor Wu, get up and save a life.”

Chen Hu knocked on the door anxiously, his voice trembling.

But no matter how he knocked, Old Wu’s door remained tightly shut.

At this moment, the door next door opened and Su Sanlang came out. He asked Chen Hu with concern, “Brother Hu, what’s wrong? What happened?”

It was cold, but Chen Hu was sweating.

Chen Hu looked at Su Sanlang and choked for a moment before saying, “Third Brother, my wife gave birth, but after the child was born, the bleeding couldn’t be stopped. My mother said that it was a hemorrhage and whether she lived or died depended on her fate. How could I watch her die? It’s the middle of the night, and I don’t have anywhere to call a doctor, so I could only come here. Third Brother, I remember that when Sister-in-law gave birth to Simei, she also… hired Doctor Wu, right?”

Su Sanlang hadn’t realized it was such a big deal. He nodded. “Yes. Your sister-in-law lost a lot of blood when she gave birth to Simei. Sigh… It’s all my fault. Doctor Wu drank a lot tonight. He’s drunk…”

When he was in trouble, Chen Hu would definitely help their family. After his life became stable, Chen Hu never asked for credit. In the past two years, when they occasionally met, they would exchange a few words with each other.

Su Sanlang knew about Madam Qian’s pregnancy. At that time, Chen Hu had said that Madam Qian’s pregnancy was different from the previous few times. It was very likely to be a boy this time. Su Sanlang was happy for him. He had thought that Madam Qian would have an easy time giving birth to a son for Chen Hu, but he did not expect her childbirth to be so difficult.

Su Sanlang was anxious now. He quickly moved a ladder and said to Chen Hu, “Brother Hu, Doctor Wu must be sleeping now. I’ll climb over the wall and call him.”

Su Sanlang was anxious. He regretted going into the mountains to set traps. If he hadn’t gone, he wouldn’t have been able to collect the pheasants. Naturally, Old Wu wouldn’t have gotten drunk as well.

But the last thing to exist in this world was regret medicine.

Chen Hu nodded. He held onto the ladder and thanked him in a choked voice. “Third Brother, thank you.”

When he was in trouble, his own brothers wouldn’t help. They would just stand by and watch. But Su Sanlang was different. He wasn’t his real brother, but he was closer than that. As long as he was there, he wouldn’t stand by and do nothing.

When Madam Zhao heard the commotion, she felt uneasy.

She thought that if it was a small matter, Chen Hu would not be so anxious. Madam Zhao thought for a moment and calculated the date of Madam Qian’s labor. She immediately understood. They were both women, so she was also worried.

She came out to help Chen Hu with the ladder.

Chen Hu thanked her gratefully and immediately climbed up the ladder and climbed over the wall.

The two of them went to knock on Old Wu’s door.

However, Old Wu was sleeping very soundly. The two of them knocked for a while and only heard Old Wu snoring.

“What should I do? My wife is still waiting for me to go back and save her.”

Chen Hu was burning with anxiety. He could no longer suppress his emotions and cried.
