"Hahaha, I just can't die, what can you do about it?"

"I not only killed those two people, but I also poisoned An Qin."

"And you, Ruan Qiushui, I was the one who hired someone to commit murder."

You all never expected this, did you?

Zhao Desheng wouldn't have taken the blame so easily if he didn't want Zhao Meimei to leave a bloodline for the Zhao family.

Now that she's pregnant, she's fulfilled Mr. Zhao's request.

"I love seeing you grit your teeth, yet look so helpless."

Zhao Meimei laughed wildly, then turned and was escorted away.

"Don't you think it's particularly unfair?"

Ruan Qiushui looked at Gu Xiaoxiao and Gu Changshu, who were standing to the side with their cheeks puffed out and their faces full of anger.

"Why is it that Zhao Meimei has done so many evil things but has not been punished?"

Sending her to jail is far too lenient a punishment.

"She won't have an easy time."

People like Zhao Meimei will never have a good ending, no matter where they are.

After this heinous murder, the reputation of the Red Flag Brigade plummeted. Many people from neighboring brigades preferred to take a detour rather than come near the Red Flag Brigade.

The Red Flag Brigade fell completely silent.

Time flies, and it's summer. The members of the brigade are working hard in the fields.

Ruan Qiushui had nothing to do at the clinic, so she brewed a pot of mung bean soup and was about to deliver it to her family when she was stopped on the way.

"And you are?"

Ruan Qiushui looked at the middle-aged man in front of her; she didn't recognize him either.

"You must be Dr. Ruan Qiushui? I'm Huang Wei, Zhang Yi recommended me here."

Huang Wei introduced himself.

"Are you here for a medical checkup?"

Speaking of Zhang Yi, Ruan Qiushui did have an impression of him.

It's the younger generation that Grandpa likes, the current mayor of City C, right?

"My health has never been very good, this is troublesome."

Huang Wei was quite polite.

"Please come in, let me take your pulse first."

When patients come to your door, you can't just turn them away.

Ruan Qiushui put the mung bean soup back in the inner room and began to take Huang Wei's pulse.

"Your health is fine, but there's something extra on the right side of your heart that shouldn't be there."

When Ruan Qiushui revealed the cause of her illness, Huang Wei was quite surprised.

"You are a capable person."

Huang Wei suppressed his shock and became even more respectful towards Ruan Qiushui.

He didn't reveal the cause of the illness immediately because he wanted to test the skills of Dr. Ruan, whose abilities were legendary in the surrounding villages.

Unexpectedly, the person was able to diagnose his illness simply by taking his pulse.

That's incredible!

"I was shot in the chest years ago and always thought the wound was healing well. It wasn't until recently, when I felt something was wrong, that I went to the city hospital for several examinations and found that there were fragments of bullet casings left in my chest."

The bullet casing was in a bad spot, and none of the doctors at the city hospital dared to operate on it.

If this continues, he might not even last two years before he meets his ancestors.

Zhang Yi learned about this during their conversation and suggested that he try his luck at the Hongqi Brigade.

He came with a skeptical attitude, but he wanted to live, so he had to try even if there was only a sliver of hope.

Do you have a solution?

Huang Wei was somewhat uneasy.

"have."

Ruan Qiushui nodded affirmatively.

"Can the surgery be done immediately?"

Huang Wei was somewhat impatient.

"Now is not the best time; we have to wait."

Ruan Qiushui shook her head.

"What's the meaning?"

Huang Wei was puzzled.

"The cartridge case is too close to the heart; we need to move it further away from the heart."

Ruan Qiushui believed in her own skills, but not in the outdated medical equipment of this era.

If something goes wrong and damages the coronary artery, that would be a real problem.

"What should we do then?"

That's why the doctors at the city hospital were at a loss.

Acupuncture.

"We use acupuncture to move the cartridge case and change its position. The process will be a little painful, so you have to be patient."

After Ruan Qiushui finished speaking, she pointed to the hospital bed.

"Now, lie down and trust me."

Ruan Qiushui took out her acupuncture kit and prepared herself.

"Okay, I believe you."

Huang Wei took off his clothes and lay down, intently watching Ruan Qiushui's movements.

Ruan Qiushui took out silver needles and inserted them one by one into Huang Wei's chest.

"Hmm."

Huang Wei suppressed his pain, and cold sweat instantly dripped down his forehead.

"Hold on, don't move."

Ruan Qiushui continued to insert the needles, without allowing the slightest error.

"ah."

The pain intensified, and Huang Wei cried out.

"alright."

Ruan Qiushui breathed a sigh of relief, removed the silver needles, and helped Huang Wei get dressed.

"That's it?"

Is it really that simple?

"Three days later, prepare a fully equipped operating room, and I will remove the bullet casing from you."

Ruan Qiushui took out a bottle of pills and handed it to Huang Wei.

"The medicine here is to be taken three times a day, one pill each time."

Even with severe bleeding during surgery, you won't have to worry about this medicine.

"good."

How much is your consultation fee?

He should greet her first, lest Ruan Qiushui make exorbitant demands that he cannot afford.

"The consultation fee plus surgery fee is 10,000 yuan. Any objections?"

Ruan Qiushui looked up.

Surely the people Zhang Yi knows aren't unable to come up with ten thousand yuan?

"Okay, deal. I'll have someone pick you up in three days."

He felt he had made a profit because 10,000 yuan could save his life.

"good."

Ruan Qiushui tidied the bed, waved goodbye, and said, "Take your time, don't come back."

"Third son's wife, what brings you here?"

Xie Xiuying was wiping her sweat after cutting potatoes when she saw Ruan Qiushui walking over with a basket.

"Mom, I brought you and your sisters-in-law some mung bean soup. It's hot today, you can drink it to cool down."

Seeing that Xie Xiuying was covered in sweat, Ruan Qiushui quickly took a bowl and poured a bowl for Xie Xiuying.

"Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, and Zhengming and Zhengyang, come quickly."

Ruan Qiushui poured four more bowls and invited them to come and drink.

"Sister-in-law, thank you so much."

Zhou Lan and He Chunhua felt extremely comfortable as they drank the sweet and icy mung bean soup.

"Third Aunt, I want to drink more."

Gu Zhengming, that little glutton, held up his empty bowl and insisted on having another.

"Third Aunt, the mung bean soup you cooked is so delicious, thank you for your hard work."

Gu Zhengyang flattered him.

This mung bean soup tastes so good, my aunt must have added a lot of sugar.

"Okay, I'll pour you another bowl. Drinking too much of this soup will make your stomachs feel cold."

Ruan Qiushui patted her two nephews' heads, clearly delighted.

"I think my third sister-in-law also likes children. When are you planning to have one?"

Zhou Lan joked.

My third brother and his wife have been married for so long, why is there still no sign of a child? Could it be that my third brother is impotent?

"When it comes to children, it's all about fate. When the time is right, they will come naturally."

Xie Xiuying was afraid that Ruan Qiushui would think they were pressuring her to have a child, so she quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Yeah yeah."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Lan quickly agreed with her mother-in-law.

"Changfeng and I aren't in a hurry."

The mother's image is too great and too sacred; she is not ready to be a mother yet.

She was afraid that she was not a good mother and that she could not give her child perfect maternal love.
