Su Binglan looked solemn at that moment. She knew the person knocking on the door was anxious when she heard the urgent knocking, especially since it was snowing heavily.

Hearing the urgent knocks made one’s heart pound.

Su Wenxiu paused his drinking. He had savored the moment while drinking, but his expression turned severe. “Is that person looking for a doctor?”

Someone else once knocked on their door in the middle of the night. That person’s family member had a terrible stomach ache then, so Su Wenxiu went to check on the patient and prescribed them some medicine. Therefore, he could already guess what the knocking would bring.

Su Binglan said, “You already drank alcohol, so you can’t treat anyone, even if you say you’re sober.”

She said that to prevent facing any extra problems.

Su Wenxiu felt a little annoyed with himself. He looked down at the wine he held and suddenly felt he should stop drinking. “I won’t drink any more next time, Little Sister.”

He intended to quit drinking entirely to be a good doctor. Su Wenxiu knew he should no longer drink to be a good doctor because he could easily kill someone if he drunkenly prescribed the wrong medicine.

It would be a fatal mistake, and there was no need for anyone to remind him of such things because he knew it in his heart.

Su Binglan was delighted to hear what her second brother said. She replied, “It’s good you realized it yourself, Second Brother. I’ll make some fruit juice and milk tea for you later. Then you’ll know that drinking other things can be better than wine.”

There were only a few beverages like those in that era, and even fruits were a precious resource. Therefore, wine became something most enjoyed drinking. However, if there were beverages like fruit juice and milk tea, Su Binglan believed most would stop drinking alcohol and drink those two instead.

Still, she wanted to start her winery first. She would make drinks like fruit juice and milk tea when the winery got on the right track. After all, she had to take things one step at a time.

Su Binglan could not chat with her second brother and quickly left with her mother. At that moment, everyone at home was worried that something terrible might happen.

Shen Qiuhua rushed out of the inner room and arrived at the door before quickly opening it. She saw an older woman standing outside.

Shen Qiuhua had an impression of the older woman. She seemed to be from

Stone Village. Shen Qiuhua had seen her before when she went to Northern Song Village to get oil. Later, the older woman went to the Su family’s house to buy rapeseeds.

“Hello—” Before Shen Qiuhua could ask anything, the older woman anxiously interjected, “Ma’am, is Miss Su home?”

‘Yes, I’m home. Do you need something?”

Upon hearing Su Binglan’s voice, the older woman immediately tried to kneel before Shen Qiuhua. However, Shen Qiuhua was swift and quickly stopped the older woman. “Madam, please tell us what you need.”

Su Binglan also arrived at the door at that time. “Is there something you need,

Madam?”

The older woman sobbed, “My daughter-in-law is about to give birth, but the midwife says it’s a difficult labor since the fetus isn’t in the right position. I was afraid, so I ran here to beg you to save her. Please, save her, Miss Sul”

Shen Qiuhua was astounded. “B-But my daughter doesn’t know how to deal with that. Her skills are excellent, but how could a young girl know such things?”

“I-I have no other choice, Ma’am. Everyone says you’re a lucky star, Miss Su. Please, I beg you!” The older woman would have knelt if Shen Qiuhua had not stopped her.

Thick layers of snow had already covered the older lady, and she barely knew how she even got to the Su family’s home.

Su Binglan solemnly said, “Quickly take me to your house, Madam.”

After all, she was highly anxious about matters involving human lives.

Shen Qiuhua was stunned. ‘Binglan is skilled in medicine, but we’re discussing delivering a baby. It should be something a midwife handles.’

She said, “Binglan, that’s midwifery.”

She was concerned about her daughter because of what others would say if something terrible happened. However, Shen Qiuhua could not say much when she looked at the older woman before her.

She also wanted to help at this crucial juncture but was still most concerned about her daughter.

“You don’t have to worry, Mother. I’ll take a look. Maybe there’s something I can do to help.”

Shen Qiuhua sighed when she saw her daughter’s determined expression. She knew her daughter was a kind-hearted person. Su Binglan would never have a reason to ignore such a situation whenever she encountered one. Moreover, she was indeed highly skilled in medicine.

When the older woman heard that Su Binglan would help, she cried, “Thank you so much, Miss Su!”

She felt relieved whenever she looked at Su Binglan and heard her voice. The older woman knew her daughter-in-law would be okay if Su Binglan were around.

The older woman sobbed so much that she could barely speak.

“I’ll go and take the medicine box immediately. We’ll take the carriage.”

A thick layer of snow had already fallen, but fortunately, they had a carriage at home. Now, they could travel faster. Moreover, Stone Village was not too far from the neighboring villages.

Su Binglan was swift and quickly went to her room to get the medicine box.

Meanwhile, the Su family members could no longer be bothered to eat. They looked at Su Binglan and asked in unison, “Binglan, what’s happening?”

But she had no time to explain. Instead, she said briefly, “I’m heading to Stone Village.”

At that moment, Shen Qiuhua appeared and hurriedly put on a thick coat before saying, “Someone there is about to give birth and is having a difficult labor. Binglan wants to go and help. I’m going with her.”

She worried about her daughter because Su Binglan knew nothing about childbirth. However, Shen Qiuhua had birthed four children and had some experience, so perhaps she could help.

“What?” The whole family was in shock when they heard Shen Qiuhua’s words. Su Wenxiu said, “Little Sister, I’ll come with you since I’m a doctor!”

“You’re a man,” Shen Qiuhua said directly, “You can’t help at all, so just stay home. What do you think you’re doing?”

After a moment, Su Wenxiu finally reacted to what his mother said. After all, the situation was different from treating sick patients. In addition, the people of this era were still conservative and had feudal thoughts.

A man could never help with childbirth.

Su Wenxiu was about to get off the brick bed but fell silent when he heard his mother’s words. Even Su Binglan’s hand that was about to grab the medicine box paused.

She had never considered what her mother said and realized she should take in a female apprentice or ask her second brother to take one in. Some things were inappropriate for male doctors to handle in that era, so females would have a much easier time doing it.

Still, now was not the time to think of such things as Su Binglan wanted to hurry to Stone Village.

After packing up, Shen Qiuhua accompanied her daughter and brought the older woman along. The trio boarded the oxcart and headed straight to Stone Village.

Although there was a thick layer of snow, the road was still easier to walk on. Therefore, the trio soon arrived at the older woman’s house in Stone Village..
