Chapter 59 -059 – The Female Doctor Hao Baishuang

Bai Ruozhu and her mother arrived at the Du Family’s Pharmacy, and it so happened that Shopkeeper Zhou was in the store.

Thinking that they had just visited a few days ago and they’re back so soon, he thought there must be something urgent, so he hastened to welcome them.

Bai Ruozhu discerned what was on Zhou’s mind and told him, “I’m here today not on the account of the toothpaste business, but to ask you for some information.”

As the toothpaste business had been better than anyone had expected, and Bai Ruozhu’s ingenuity greatly impressed Zhou, he held a strong

admiration for her, even though she was only a woman from an ordinary household.

He respectfully bowed to Bai Ruozhu and said, “Please do tell, Madam Bai.

Any questions you may have, I will try my best to answer.”

Bai Ruozhu smiled and said, “You don’t have to be so formal, Shopkeeper Zhou.

In fact, I am trying to find a reputable midwife or female doctor in town.

As you can see, I am nearly due.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou immediately slapped his forehead, as if remembering something, “A few days ago there was something I forgot to tell you, it just came back to me now.

During the birth of my child, we had Doctor Hao Baishuang from Fushou Hall, she is excellent at delivering babies,” boasting while he held up his thumb in approval.

“When my wife was delivering our last child, it was extremely dangerous.

The umbilical cord was twisted around the baby.

If we had any other midwife, it would have been a disaster.

Furthermore, Doctor Hao Baishuang specializes in women’s health, not only does she deliver babies, but she also takes care of the mothers’ postnatal health.

you couldn’t find anyone better.” Zhou continuously praised Doctor Hao Baishuang.

After Bai Ruozhu transmigrated, she heard that in this era women could run businesses openly and become doctors.

She felt fortunate, especially since she herself was a medical student, she was extremely curious about female doctors.

Doctor Hao Baishuang whom Shopkeeper Zhou spoke about is the only female doctor she has heard of so far.

“Then let’s go find Doctor Hao at Fushou Hall.” Lin Ping’r was overjoyed, a female doctor would be even better than a midwife, it would be excellent if they could manage to convince her.

Bai Ruozhu also nodded in agreement, “Good, let’s go find Doctor Hao.” Having said that, she thanked Zhou, “Thank you, Shopkeeper Zhou, we will take our leave now.”

Zhou smilingly escorted them to the main gate of the store, watching them depart before he returned to his shop and resumed calculating his accounts.

Not long after, Du Zhongshu arrived and asked about the day’s business.

Zhou mentioned that Bai Ruozhu had visited.

Du Zhongshu nodded, saying, “Prepare some tonics and other goods, we should send them as gifts to Madam Bai after her childbirth”

Zhou hurriedly agreed, “Yes, a good suggestion Master Du, I’ll start the preparations immediately.”

“Alright, tend to your work, I must be going now.” Du Zhongshu hurriedly made his leave, leaving Zhou wondering why his boss was such in a hurry, not even bothering about business matters.

Once Du Zhongshu left Pharmacy, he walked towards Fushou Hall, guessing that he could probably run into Bai Ruozhu and her mother there.

…

Lin Ping’r linked arms with her daughter, joyously expressing, “This is great!

As long as we can secure the female doctor, I’ll be relieved.

But remember, no matter how much they charge, you mustn’t object.

It doesn’t matter if we spend a few more pieces of silver, we can always earn it back.

As long as you and the baby are safe, your father, your two brothers and I can rest easy.”

A warm current flowed through Bai Ruozhu’s heart, she had not experienced this warmth from her family in many years.

Now, her parents and brothers truly cherished her, what more could she ask for?

She nodded and said, “Mother, I understand.

I’ll work hard to earn the money back.”

Lin Ping’r pointed to Bai Ruozhu’s head, laughing, “You think too much.

All the money our family has now, you earned it.

It’s nothing if it’s all spent on you.”

Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but laugh, “Mother, most people favor their sons, but your bias towards your daughter is a little too strong, isn’t it?”

Lin Ping’r playfully chided Bai Ruozhu, “Don’t get too smug, be careful your older brother and second brother might get jealous.”

“My older brother and second brother wouldn’t,” Bai Ruozhu roared with laughter.

The two of them walked and chatted cheerfully along the road, reaching Fushou Hall in no time.

Bai Ruozhu was lucky, as Doctor Hao Baishuang was not out for consultations.

She mentioned it to the clinic assistant, who immediately went to inform Doctor Hao.

After a while, a woman aged around forty came out.

She was dressed neatly with her hair simply styled using a wooden hairpin and without any other adornment, not even earrings, giving her an appearance of simplicity.

She looked a little dark and thin, but her eyes were extremely bright and seemed sharp.

Bai Ruozhu quickly bowed to her, “Bai Ruozhu greets Doctor Hao.”

Doctor Hao Baishuang didn’t look at Bai Ruozhu’s face, only glancing at her belly.

She said, “Are you here for me to deliver your baby?”

Lin Ping’r quickly nodded, “Yes, Doctor Hao, I believe my daughter is nearly due.”

Without even checking Bai’s pulse or feeling her belly, Doctor Hao Baishuang coldly stated, “You still have at least half a month.

No need to rush.”

Bai Ruozhu was slightly surprised, it seemed Doctor Hao indeed had some genuine skills.

After hearing this, it was as if a weight had been lifted from Lin Ping’r’s shoulders, thinking now they don’t need to hurry so much, and the words of Doctor Hao indicated that Bai Ruozhu’s pregnancy was going well, and the fetus was stable.

Doctor Hao, my home is in Back Mountain Village, so you have to make the trip there,” Lin Ping’r said with an apology, smiling all the way through.

“We’ll settle the fees according to the standard rate.”

Doctor Hao Baishuang frowned and then asked, “For those who do not live in town, why do you not find a local midwife nearby?

Although I don’t mind traveling there, it might take some time, what will you do if the baby’s due by the time I get there?”

Bai Ruozhu, knowing the first pregnancy didn’t happen so quickly, spoke up, “Doctor Hao, I’ve heard that the first birth is usually slower.

As soon as I start to feel any response, I’ll send someone to inform you immediately.

I don’t think it’ll be too much of a delay.”

Seeing Bai Ruozhu’s determination, Doctor Hao didn’t object, she nodded and said, “Alright, you may register.

Please make some prepayment.

Make sure to contact me as soon as possible.”

Lin Ping’r instantly nodded, calculating in her mind the quickest way to get her eldest son to the clinic.

After registering and leaving a prepayment of two taels of silver at the hospital, Bai Ruozhu felt a twinge of pain.

It seemed that the female doctors were indeed much pricier than the local midwives.

But then again, there’s a reason for the price.

Lin Ping’r, on the other hand, didn’t even blink while handing the silver, and then led Bai Ruozhu out of the hospital.’

With this major concern taken care of, Lin Ping’r felt a great deal lighter.

She pulled Bai Ruozhu along and said, “Let’s treat ourselves to a good meal at the inn.

We’ll let your father and the others cook lunch.”

Bai Ruozhu chuckled.

“Alright, we are going to the inn!” She exclaimed just like a little child, her baby even wriggling its bottom.

It seemed to be particularly excited about a good meal- quite the little foodie!

As they chatted and walked along, about to turn a corner, they saw a man carrying a sack pass by and then run into an alley not too far away.
