Fainting incidents will certainly happen again.
People, you know, won’t be afraid of fainting once in a while.
What scares them is fainting several times in a short period of time.
When life is at stake, losing face over a fake pregnancy is really nothing.
Lady Liu will surely not dare to be stubborn anymore.
Just as Li Yuzhu had guessed.
One morning, half a month later, Liu Laoda came to the mountain to find Li Yuzhu.
Li Yuzhu’s family had just finished breakfast and were preparing to go down the mountain to work on the new house.
After a few days of clearing, the land was leveled, and the foundation laid. Today’s main task was to cut bamboo.
Brick houses are expensive, big logs for wooden houses are hard to find, bamboo houses are the simplest and cheapest option.
There were plenty of thick bamboos on Niu Tou Mountain, more than enough for their needs.
Zhen An Prefecture is located at the southernmost part of Song Country, where winter rarely brings snow or ice, so living in a bamboo house is sufficient.
Upon seeing Li Yuzhu, Liu Laoda urgently said, "Miss Li, you must come and see my wife."
Li Yuzhu said, "Take it slow, Uncle Liu, what happened to Aunt Liu?"
"She fainted again," Liu Laoda said, slapping his thigh in anxiety.
Li Yuzhu asked him again, "What was she doing before she fainted?"
"She wasn’t doing anything much, just standing in the yard holding a bowl of bran to feed the chicks. Then she suddenly collapsed."
"Did she have breakfast? Did she drink water?" Li Yuzhu asked again.
"It was just daybreak, Er Niu hadn’t had time to make breakfast yet. She didn’t eat," Liu Laoda said, sighing urgently, "Over the past half-month, she’s fainted three times. Could this be some serious illness?"
If it’s a serious illness, it would be the fibroid in the womb. If it’s a minor illness, it’s working on an empty stomach, causing anemia and low blood sugar.
It won’t kill anyone, but it can scare them to death.
Li Yuzhu frowned slightly, "It is indeed quite serious, I’ll go have a look right away."
"That would be great, Miss Li." Liu Laoda breathed a sigh of relief.
Prince Luling, worried about Li Yuzhu, asked Li Xing’an to go with her.
Second Young Master Li, worried about the clumsy Li Xing’an, wanted to go too.
Li Yuzhu was speechless, were they really worried about her? Clearly, they just wanted to slack off!
"Take a basket, and help me dig some herbs later," Li Yuzhu instructed them.
Digging herbs is an easy task, and the brothers quickly agreed.
The four hurried on their way and arrived at the Liu Family in Taohua River Village.
In the courtyard of Liu Family’s main house stood Second Lady Liu and Liu Laoda’s eldest daughter.
Seeing Li Yuzhu arrive, Second Lady Liu immediately grabbed her hand, "Miss Li, I’ll leave my sister-in-law in your hands."
Li Yuzhu smiled slightly, "I’ll do my best."
On the way, Li Yuzhu asked Liu Laoda about Lady Liu’s medication.
Liu Laoda told her that Lady Liu had been taking medicines prescribed by Jiang Wupo and Doctor Qi, but there was no improvement.
The day before yesterday, his eldest daughter Liu Da Niu had invited a doctor from another village to prescribe new medicine.
But it was still the same; Lady Liu fainted again this morning.
Having exhausted all options with the adult doctors in nearby villages without success, they turned to her, this little "doctor", as a last resort.
Li Yuzhu entered the bedroom.
She took a silver needle from her space and applied it to Lady Liu, who quickly woke up.
Seeing Li Yuzhu, Lady Liu looked full of shame.
Li Yuzhu asked Er Niu to bring a bowl of brown sugar water for Lady Liu to drink first.
A uterine fibroid causing anemia, working without breakfast, it would be strange if she didn’t faint.
