Soon, Su Xiaoling denied this guess. How was that possible? Zhou Heng was only seven years old. What did a seven-year-old child know? He was probably just grateful to her third sister for treating him well.

A little boy who said little but knew how to be grateful. Well, not bad, not bad.

Old Wu liked to eat meat very much. The pheasant's meat was fragrant and fresh, so he naturally became greedy.

Since there was nothing for him to do, he went to sleep when he got drunk.

As for Su Sanlang's family, they went to bed as well after washing up.

In the middle of the night, Su Sanlang's family was woken by a knock on the door.

Madam Zhao rubbed her eyes and nudged Su Sanlang. "Sanlang, there's someone knocking on Dr. Wu's door."

Su Su Sanlang woke up to the sound of urgent banging and shouting, and it was a familiar voice.

He sobered up and said, "Why does that sound like Brother Hu's voice? Darling, sleep first. I'll go out and take a look."

With that, Su Sanlang got up, picked up the clothes by the bed, and put them on. Then he opened the door and went out.

Old Wu got drunk that night and was sleeping soundly, so no matter how much Chen Hu knocked on the door, there was no response. When Su Sanlang came out, he could clearly hear the trembling in Chen Hu's anxious voice.

"Doctor Wu, please open the door. Doctor Wu, get up and save a life."

Chen Hu knocked on the door anxiously, his voice trembling.

But no matter how he knocked, Old Wu's door remained tightly shut.

At this moment, the door next door opened and Su Sanlang came out. He asked Chen Hu with concern, "Brother Hu, what's wrong? What happened?"

It was cold, but Chen Hu was sweating.

Chen Hu looked at Su Sanlang and choked for a moment before saying, "Third Brother, my wife gave birth, but after the child was born, the bleeding couldn't be stopped. My mother said that it was a hemorrhage and whether she lived or died depended on her fate. How could I watch her die? It's the middle of the night, and I don't have anywhere to call a doctor, so I could only come here. Third Brother, I remember that when Sister-in-law gave birth to Simei, she also... hired Doctor Wu, right?"

Su Sanlang hadn't realized it was such a big deal. He nodded. "Yes. Your sister-in-law lost a lot of blood when she gave birth to Simei. Sigh... It's all my fault. Doctor Wu drank a lot tonight. He's drunk..."

When he was in trouble, Chen Hu would definitely help their family. After his life became stable, Chen Hu never asked for credit. In the past two years, when they occasionally met, they would exchange a few words with each other.

Su Sanlang knew about Madam Qian's pregnancy. At that time, Chen Hu had said that Madam Qian's pregnancy was different from the previous few times. It was very likely to be a boy this time. Su Sanlang was happy for him. He had thought that Madam Qian would have an easy time giving birth to a son for Chen Hu, but he did not expect her childbirth to be so difficult.

Su Sanlang was anxious now. He quickly moved a ladder and said to Chen Hu, "Brother Hu, Doctor Wu must be sleeping now. I'll climb over the wall and call him."

Su Sanlang was anxious. He regretted going into the mountains to set traps. If he hadn't gone, he wouldn't have been able to collect the pheasants. Naturally, Old Wu wouldn't have gotten drunk as well.

But the last thing to exist in this world was regret medicine.

Chen Hu nodded. He held onto the ladder and thanked him in a choked voice. "Third Brother, thank you."
