When Liang Guiying just entered the house, she heard her son forcing his daughter-in-law to divorce. In her previous life, Liang Guiying worried that her fragile daughter-in-law wouldn't surviv...
She recalled the details of CPR she had seen on television and then began the first aid.
I don't know how many times I performed chest compressions or how many times I blew air into the old lady's body. Just when she was about to run out of strength, the old lady suddenly coughed!
"He's breathing!"
"She's alive!"
The old lady's daughter-in-law kowtowed to Liang Guiying, who collapsed to the ground and waved her hand, saying, "She's not completely out of danger yet, we should hurry up and get her to the hospital, or it will be too late."
Someone brought a tricycle, and everyone worked together to lift the old lady onto it. The old lady's daughter-in-law pushed her son toward Liang Guiying, saying, "Grandma Niannian, please watch Hao Hao for me for a while!"
Liang Guiying was catching her breath when, by the time she caught her breath, the tricycle had already disappeared.
She reached out her hand to Hao Hao: "Hao Hao, your grandma is alright, come and help me hold Niannian's hand."
Every year, she would take two candies out of her pocket, eat one herself, and give the other to Hao Hao: "After you eat the candy, don't cry!"
Hao Hao held the candy and sobbed for a while, then ate the candy with Niannian.
Liang Guiying caught her breath and decided to take the two children home first.
There were also three or four women with children at the scene. They looked at Liang Guiying curiously for a while and couldn't help but ask her, "Grandma Niannian, have you studied medicine? What kind of technique was that just now?"
“This is called cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). It’s a technique from foreign hospitals and hasn’t been introduced to China yet. I only remembered it after Zhou Yue mentioned it a few times.” Liang Guiying told a white lie, clutching her chest with lingering fear, “If Hao Hao’s mother hadn’t knelt down and begged me, I wouldn’t have dared to do it.”
"That's true. Even if you're 99% sure, no one dares to act unless the family is there. If they survive, great, but if they don't, we're likely to get into trouble."
First, they risked their lives to save Li Feifei, and then they witnessed Liang Guiying saving Old Lady Liu. Everyone's attitude towards Liang Guiying changed on the spot.
No matter how she harms her son, as long as it doesn't affect them, they have no reason to distance themselves from Liang Guiying, a truly good person, because of a scoundrel.
Liang Guiying felt weak in her arms and legs and wanted to go back quickly to drink some water and then lie down to sleep for a while. So she chatted with the others for a few minutes and then took Zhou Xiaonian and Hao Hao home.
The two children sat side by side watching TV, while Liang Guiying lay on the sofa. Not long after, Aunt Zhong arrived.
She immediately launched into a tirade: "You've got some nerve! That family is the most troublesome people in the whole neighborhood. Aren't you afraid that if you don't survive, they'll come after you and blackmail you?"
Liang Guiying smiled and said, "I didn't think that much about it at the time."
"Then I'll have to ask you to think about it more often from now on! You're not afraid, but you are every year!"
"Yes, yes, I will definitely think more about Niannian in the future."
"...There was a strong wind and heavy rain last night, and several bamboo stalks fell. The property management cut them down. Do you want them?"
"I'll go drag it away right now."
"I've already got it for you."
The bamboo had already been simply processed; the five bamboo stalks were smooth and very straight.
Liang Guiying immediately perked up. She quickly found a scraper and first scraped off the green on the surface of the bamboo, leaving one bamboo. Then she cut the other bamboo into whole strips, and then into long strips of roughly the same size.
Aunt Zhong asked her, "What are you planning to do?"
"I don't know yet. Let's get started and figure it out later."
Around 6 p.m., Liang Guiying was cooking when Hao Hao's father arrived.
