The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!

Chapter 1031: Favism

Yun Jiao earnestly said, "This illness is called fava bean disease, triggered by consuming fava beans, and its scientific name is acute hemolytic anemia.""It’s very rare, and this is the first time I’ve encountered such a case."

"However, the child’s symptoms and pulse are consistent with the symptoms of fava bean disease."

"I’ll prescribe a formula first; hurry home and decoct the medicine for the child to take."

Yun Jiao quickly wrote out a prescription.

The man craned his neck to look, seeing only five herbal ingredients written on the paper.

He felt uneasy, wondering if so few herbs could cure his son’s serious illness.

The prescription was taken to buy the herbs.

The woman went to pay the silver, and Zhang Shun calculated on his abacus with a flurry of tapping, "In total, the consultation fee is two taels of silver, and the medicine costs seventy-five wen."

The woman couldn’t help but look back at her husband still sitting there holding their child; they knew the consultation fee was two taels and had prepared enough silver, but the medicine seemed too cheap. Their son was very ill, with blood in his urine and vomiting; could seventy-five wen really cure him?

They came ready to spend everything they had to save their son.

Yun Jiao noticed the woman’s expression toward her husband and couldn’t help but laugh, "The effectiveness of medicine doesn’t lie in its cost; the key is to match the symptoms."

"If you don’t believe it, you’ll know in a few days."

The couple took the herbal medicine and went home with their child.

A few days later, the couple came back with their child.

The child was already able to walk on his own, his eyes darting around, completely different from the sickly child huddled in his father’s arms that day.

As soon as the couple entered, they made their child kneel before Yun Jiao, "Thank you, Doctor Gu, for saving our son."

Seventy-five wen worth of medicine, not enough to buy a hen, and after only two days, the blood in the child’s urine stopped, and his fever subsided.

Overjoyed, they embraced their son, Doctor Gu truly is a miraculous doctor, hence the great reputation.

In their family, the son was the only child, truly the lifeblood of the entire family.

After finishing five doses of medicine, all the symptoms disappeared, and the child regained his usual liveliness.

The couple thought it over; although Doctor Gu took money for the treatment, if she hadn’t accurately diagnosed the illness, their son might not have survived. Even Doctor Ye couldn’t identify the illness.

Having run Renxin Hall for so many years, Yun Jiao was used to such situations, often having patients come to the shop to bow in gratitude after being cured.

Indeed, the people of this era were truly sincere.

She asked Ah Tie and the others to help them up, smiling at the child, "Remember not to eat fava beans in the future, especially fresh ones."

The child nodded obediently, and Yang Ying gave him a few candies, which he happily accepted before leaving.

Yang Ying sighed, "I wish I had studied medicine from a young age too; seeing patients get better is quite fulfilling."

Yun Jiao smiled, "If you want to study medicine, it’s not too late to start now."

"First, memorize the ’Great Chu Materia Medica’ and then we’ll talk."

Yang Ying laughed, "At my age, with a bad memory, you’re just teasing me."

As they were laughing, Ah Tie ran out from inside, looking anxious yet somewhat excited, "Master, my wife is about to give birth."

Ah Tie’s wife, He Hua, was a very quiet girl, spending entire days inside the house, rarely stepping outside.

Even for meals, Ah Tie would bring the food to her.

Yun Jiao, busy running Renxin Hall every day, hardly ever saw her. He Hua was almost nonexistent.

Ah Tie ran out to find the midwife, while Yun Jiao and Yang Ying got up to head to the back courtyard.
