Chapter 330 Life
Song Ying tried her best to suppress the sadness in her heart, and was very surprised: "How do you know so much about what happened in Miss Seven's courtyard?"
Xiaolu pouted, "She needed our kitchen to boil water to give the kitten a bath. The first time was in the afternoon, when the sun was quite bright. Sister Nongshu explained her purpose, and we immediately told her what you told Aunt Lian."
Not wanting to deal with the books, my sister came back soon after, so we had to boil some hot water for her. The second time was in the middle of the night, when we were all asleep, and we had to get up to boil water for her.
Xiaolu is responsible for making fire in the big kitchen. From the tone of her voice, it is obvious that she is one of the people who got up in the middle of the night to boil water. No wonder she is so resentful.
Thinking of the skinny kitten, Song Ying felt like a huge stone was pressing on his heart, feeling depressed and regretful. Although it was tortured by illness and had not eaten or drunk for many days, and had become extremely thin, it was still possible to tell what a beautiful kitten it was.
I don’t know if it’s because Miss Seventh’s courtyard is too busy with the kitchen, the maids are quite resentful. As soon as Xiaolu finished complaining, someone else said, “I heard that the old lady knew that Aunt Lian would steal her cat, so she gave the blue-eyed one to Miss Seventh. She only had it for a few days, and it died. I think it would be better to give it to Aunt Lian.”
Song Ying wanted to distract himself and not feel so uncomfortable, so he asked, "I heard from Master that cats sent from the palace all have blue eyes. How come Aunt Lian's cat has yellow eyes?"
"Newly born kittens have blue eyes until they are two months old." Xiaolu's tone towards Aunt Lian turned mocking again, "Our old lady is really good. She can tell which cat has real blue eyes and which one doesn't very early on.
Tsk tsk, let her grab it, such an ignorant bumpkin, she can't get anything good even if she grabs it."
Song Ying thought that Aunt Lian's kitten was also very pretty, no worse than Shen Wanyi's. She asked, "What's so special about this blue-eyed cat? I think Aunt Lian's yellow-eyed kitten is also very pretty."
Chun Liu explained softly, "You don't know because you've never been to Beijing. The most rare lion cats have pure white eyes, followed by pure white with blue eyes. There are many with yellow eyes, so they are not that rare."
"Heterogeneous eyes?" Song Ying was curious, "What does it look like?"
"One eye is blue and the other is yellow." Chun Liu explained patiently, and then added: "I also think cats with yellow eyes are very beautiful. I have seen an orange and white lion cat before, and its eyes were also yellow. It was very beautiful!"
Song Ying thought back to Aunt Lian's cat and Shen Wanyi's cat, and combined their eyes in her mind. Just by imagining it, she thought they were extremely beautiful.
Chunfang smiled slyly and continued to mock Aunt Lian, "This has its own benefits that you can't see. Aunt Lian is very precious to that cat now!
When I came to get the cat's food the day before yesterday afternoon, I specially asked her to cook a few pieces of meat for her. Apparently, the cat has a big appetite. She must be in good health as she eats so much!"
Later on, he began to gloat over Shen Wanyi's misfortune.
"Madam Lian asked for extra meat?" Song Ying was very surprised.
Chunfang nodded, "Yes, there was no steamed meat in the kitchen at that time, so Mother Fang asked us to scoop some boiling water from the pot, cut a few pieces of chicken and threw them in. We were worried that Aunt Lian would make a fuss.
But Fang's mother said that the meat stewed in this way is tender and has a little fishy smell, which cats like the most. Aunt Lian didn't make a fuss, but asked how long it would take to stew, and then took the meat and cat food and left. "
Song Ying was thoughtful. It seemed that after having the kitten, Aunt Lian had indeed changed a lot and was living a serious life.
In her heart, the pain of not being able to save the kitten was lessened, because at least the other one was alive and healthy, and its owner was raising it carefully.
Seeing that it was getting late, Song Ying quickly asked someone to bring her food, then she said goodbye to everyone and left with the food box.
After dinner, she first told Doctor Lin about the patients she had met during the day, the prescriptions she had written, and the additions and subtractions that Doctor Ma had made to the prescriptions. She then told him about her own thoughts and ideas, and Doctor Lin corrected her one by one.
The day's study was over. Song Ying planned to go back to his room, write down his experiences with pen and paper, and then memorize the second volume of "Su Nu Qi Fang" so that he could copy it later.
Unexpectedly, Doctor Lin called her and asked, "Are you still thinking about Xuetuan?"
Song Ying was stunned, "Master, how did you know?"
After coming back today, she didn't say anything.
Doctor Lin was helpless. "Your worries are all written on your face. I am neither blind nor stupid, so how can I not see it?"
Song Ying lowered his eyes and said softly, "I just feel very sorry. Such a little life seemed to be getting better last night."
"Song Ying," Doctor Lin looked at her and said earnestly, "We are doctors, not gods. We don't have the ability to bring the dead back to life, and not all diseases can be cured.
As doctors, we need to be more compassionate and kind than ordinary people, but we cannot be too empathetic to patients. You will see more life and death in the future, and you need to learn to get used to it and adjust yourself, and not let your life be controlled by the life and death of others.
Song Ying exhaled lightly and nodded slowly, "Thank you, Master. I'll remember that."
"Go ahead and take a rest early."
Thinking about what her master had said, Song Ying tried hard to adjust herself over the next few days, and her mood gradually improved. On the sixteenth, Second Aunt Song came to the clinic to find her.
After Lin Wenxuan left, only the aunt and nephew were left in the pharmacy. Aunt Song asked nervously and expectantly, "Yingwa, have you hired anyone for the job at Yunxiu Tower yet?"
"No, I'm just waiting for you. If there's no news from you in four days, Aunt Cen will have to find someone else." Seeing her expression, Song Ying couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Have you convinced your family?"
Aunt Song nodded, "The method you proposed is really useful. When I told Li Wu that I could make money to supplement the family expenses, he would have more money on hand. He immediately agreed and even helped persuade my mother-in-law!"
Song Ying laughed. It turned out that they were not a monolithic group. As long as they grasped the points that each of them valued and persuaded them in a targeted manner, there was a great chance of success!
However, Song Ying was extremely distrustful of Li Wu. He was a gangster who would do anything to get money for food, drink and entertainment. So she warned him, "Second Aunt, after you get your wages, you must not give them to Li Wu. If you do this, he will definitely keep asking you for more and more money. It will be a bottomless pit!"
Song Ergu was naturally very clear about Li Wu's character. Precisely because of this, she knew clearly that if she promised Li Wu something and failed to do it, he might go to Yunxiu Tower to make trouble later.
She hesitated and said, "But I have already promised him. If I don't give it to him, with his temper, he will come to make trouble every few days. Even if the shopkeeper is kind, I am afraid he will not keep me."
