“You were worried about me just now, right?” Su Binglan asked.

Shen Qiuhua patted her daughter’s hand. “How can I not worry about you? If anything happened to that woman, it would be bad for your reputation. I knew life was at stake, but I can’t stop you from doing something just because I was worried and afraid.’

She seemed to have thought of something and added, “Someone from our village died because of this before. She was from a good family and was about the same age as me.

“We got along well and often talked when I first came to Su Teng Village. She told me many things about the village. When she died, her family moved far away.” Shen Qiuhua let out a long sigh after telling her daughter about this.

Su Binglan had never thought of this. However, she wanted to train the midwives in the surrounding villages and share her knowledge. Then they could help more people.

Still, most might not even be able to learn about surgery and cesarean delivery. They might be unable to accept such a method of saving people, and Su Wenxiu only accepted males as apprentices.

Su Binglan suddenly realized that she needed to take in some female apprentices. Perhaps she had to open a medical school to teach more people about childbirth. Only then could they help more people.

Not only was food culture in this era backward, but their medical knowledge was the same. Su Binglan drove the carriage home while thinking of this, but the snow on the road was thick and hefty, making it challenging to traverse. Therefore, the carriage moved very slowly.

It was already midnight when the mother-daughter duo reached home. The entire family was still awake, worried about Shen Qiuhua and Su Binglan.

Hence, they lit an oil lamp and shucked corn on the brick bed while awaiting their return. The family had planted a lot of corn, but the corn was not ready for harvesting yet.

When the duo returned, everyone anxiously asked, “How was it? Is everyone okay?”

Shen Qiuhua brushed the snow off her body and went inside. “It’s fine, don’t worry. Binglan adjusted the baby’s fetal position, and the young woman successfully gave birth to a little girl.’

“That’s good, that’s good.” Liu Yinyin was also worried when she gave birth to her two sons. Fortunately, Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai’s births went as expected without complications.

She knew that fear and worry very well, even if someone else faced them. ‘It’s good that everything went well. Now the woman can finally breathe a sigh of relief.’

Shen Qiuhua did not see Su Wenxiu and Su Wenwu around, so she asked, “Are

Wenxiu and Wenwu asleep?”

Su Fengmao sighed and answered, “Someone else knocked on our door. The person had a broken leg, so Wenxiu took his medicine box and went to treat the person. Wenwu was worried and followed them. They just left not too long ago but have yet to return.”

Su Wenzhe looked at the yard. “There’s a blizzard outside, and I heard the man was taking an oxcart home when it flipped on the way.”

“What?!” Shen Qiuhua was shocked. ‘How could the oxcart flip over?’

When she thought of the piles of snow and potholes on the road, she knew the oxcart could quickly flip over if one were unfamiliar with the roads.

“Is everyone all right?”

“A few people were sitting on the oxcart. I heard they were visiting relatives and were going home late at night. Everyone fell, but it wasn’t a big problem. Only one person broke his leg.”

Shen Qiuhua sighed. “That’s true. We can’t go anywhere on a snowy day and should only stay home.”

Su Binglan said, “Don’t worry. Second Brother’s medical skills are exceptional. He’s perfect for this scenario and won’t face any problems. He’ll be back when he’s done.”

She was confident in Su Wenxiu’s medical skills as she had witnessed how hardworking he was.

“Second Brother had practiced on many animals, so handling this situation is the most basic and straightforward to him.”

Although Su Binglan had said that, Shen Qiuhua was still concerned about the blizzard. She looked outside and said, “It’s still snowing outside. I’m just worried it might be too heavy and make it difficult for them to come home.” Her heart was in her throat when she thought about it.

Su Fengmao said, “I wanted to go with them, but they wouldn’t let me. Wenwu says he knows martial arts and might be able to help if he goes along. Wenxiu didn’t want Wenzhe to follow either because he wanted Wenzhe to be here in case anything else happened.”

Su Wenzhe said thoughtfully, “I want to learn kung fu from Wenwu when I have time because I think it’s useful. Perhaps it can be helpful at a critical moment.”

Su Binglan agreed with Su Wenzhe, saying, “You’re right, Big Brother. You must learn some martial arts. Oh, you should learn too, Father.”

Su Fengmao would always listen to his daughter. After hearing her words, he said without hesitation, “All right. I’ll also make time to learn kung fu.” He knew he could help his children if he learned kung fu, so he agreed.

The blizzard outside was worsening, and the snow on the ground became thicker. Even the eaves had a thick layer of snow on them. Su Binglan looked at the heavy snow and suddenly understood why most were worried that the snow would cause their houses to collapse.

Some houses were not st.u.r.dy, and the roofs could easily cave in because of the heavy snow. Fortunately, the Su family had built a st.u.r.dier house. Now they did not need to worry about the winter.

Still, many Su Teng villagers had repaired their houses, so there should be no significant issues. After all, many families had begun working for Su Binglan, so they had no problems repairing their houses after receiving their wages.

The villagers could also ask Su Zhengde’s construction team for help, as a simple repair would not cost much and would save them plenty of trouble. That was also why Su Binglan did not pinch pennies and bonuses for her employees.

Above all, these wages and bonuses were vital to these families. It seemed that earning money could save people.

Shen Qiuhua sipped some warm water and panted. “Fortunately, I noticed that the weather would worsen and told the night s.h.i.+ft staff at the factory to leave early. ”

That was also what Su Binglan had suggested.

When they first opened the factory, she said everyone should get off work early if it rained or snowed heavily. However, she would not cut the workers’ pay, even though they went home earlier than usual.

Su Wenzhe and Su Wenwu had yet to return, so the family stayed up longer. They sat around the brick bed, talking while continuing their work as a distraction. They would also look outside occasionally.

Many people went to bed late that night. Li Mei slept in the same room as her sisters, while her brother slept in another.

Since Li Mei worked in the tofu shop, her family’s life improved. She also ensured that her younger siblings had enough nutritious food. Everyone was no longer as thin as before because they ate well and had the strength to do some housework.

Their last house was p.r.o.ne to problems, so Li Mei initially worried about it caving in when it snowed during winter. She had only casually brought this up to Du Xiaoju when they chatted. However, Li Mei did not expect Du Xiaoshuan to come and help repair their roof immediately after..
