After pulling out the needle, Yun Jiao observed for a while. Seeing that the woman had stopped bleeding, she tidied up the dicine chest and ca out of the delivery room with Mrs. Chen.
The old lady followed Yun Jiao out, "Doctor Gu, please have a seat in the main hall first."
Yun Jiao and Mrs. Chen were invited to sit in the main hall, and a girl of fourteen or fifteen brought them tea.
Soon, the old lady ca over, her face full of gratitude, and said to Yun Jiao, "I really have to thank Doctor Gu today. In my fifty-plus years of life, I’ve never heard of a woman surviving a postpartum hemorrhage. I thought we wouldn’t be able to save my granddaughter-in-law."
"Doctor Gu truly has divine dical skills."
She had her grandson go fetch Yun Jiao, not because she believed in her dical skills, but because she was grasping at straws, simply because Yun Jiao lived nearby.
Unexpectedly, she really managed to save her granddaughter-in-law.
Yun Jiao just smiled faintly as she listened to her.
Postpartum hemorrhage, not to ntion in ancient tis, has a high mortality rate even in modern tis.
Won in ancient tis generally gave birth at ho, with inadequate transportation. By the ti a doctor was called, it was likely that the woman would have bled to death.
Moreover, doctors were usually n, so even if they ca, it would be difficult for them to help.
This woman could be saved thanks to the close distance between the two hos, allowing for tily assistance. Additionally, the amount of blood loss hadn’t reached a critical point.
The old lady said this while taking out a five-tael silver ingot and stuffing it into Yun Jiao’s hand, "This is Doctor Gu’s consultation fee."
The consultation fee was quite generous, but the old lady felt it was worth it, as her granddaughter-in-law Hong i was very important to their family.
Not to ntion saving her life, Doctor Gu was attentive and responsible in her care.
Especially since Doctor Gu is a woman, if it had been another doctor, even if the life was saved, the reputation of her granddaughter-in-law Hong i might not have been preserved.
That was another layer of relief and gratitude.
Moreover, she intentionally gave more silver as a gesture of goodwill towards Yun Jiao, knowing that they might need Doctor Gu’s help again in the future.
Yun Jiao was a bit surprised to receive the silver. For a farming family, five taels of silver could sustain them for a year. This family certainly had generous ans.
Mrs. Chen, observing the silver from the side, secretly rejoiced. Indeed, for wealthy families, as long as the illness is cured, money is not an issue.
Yun Jiao tucked the silver into her sleeve and smiled at the old lady, "The woman is not entirely out of danger yet. It’s best to have soone watch over her, and if anything goes wrong, call imdiately."
The old lady nodded repeatedly, smiling as she escorted the two out.
The young man who had run to fetch Yun Jiao ca over at this mont, embarrassedly scratching his head, "When I went to find you earlier, I rushed and bumped into Doctor Gu. I’m really sorry."
Yun Jiao smiled, "It’s okay, I didn’t fall."
The old lady said with a smile, "This is my second grandson, nad Sun Jin."
Sun Jin saw Yun Jiao’s dicine chest and reached out, "This dicine chest seems heavy. Let carry it for you, I’ll walk you back."
Mrs. Chen eyed the young man cautiously, thinking he was being exceedingly attentive, and she hastened to grab the dicine chest herself, "No need, I have plenty of strength, I’ll carry it."
Saying this, she pulled Yun Jiao out.
Yun Jiao didn’t contest with Mrs. Chen, and after walking so distance, she asked, "Mother, what is this family’s surna? They seem to value the woman highly, or they wouldn’t have given such a large consultation fee."
Mrs. Chen looked around to ensure no one was nearby, then lowered her voice and said, "Of course, their granddaughter-in-law Hong i is a relative of the County Magistrate’s family, how could they not value her?"
