Chapter 266 Pregnant

When Tie Dan'er was bitten, the rabies virus carried by San Zhuzi had already passed the incubation period and was in an inflammatory state, so Tie Dan'er was easily infected.

Fortunately, since the infection was recent, the rabies virus had not yet invaded the nervous system. The timely discovery and Qin Suisui's timely acupuncture treatment can completely remove the toxins from Tiedan'er's body and will not have any other impact on the child's health.

Upon hearing Qin Suisui's explanation, Captain Li's family members all wept with joy.

Tie Dan'er's mother, who had just been woken up by pinching her philtrum, couldn't help but burst into tears. When she was pregnant with Tie Dan'er, she had accidentally fallen when she was almost nine months pregnant, which caused the child to be born prematurely.

Fortunately, everything was fine after the baby was born, but her mother's body was damaged, and the doctor said it might be difficult for her to conceive in the future.

Therefore, Tie Dan'er is probably her and Li Laoda's only child, and currently the only child in this family. Everyone cherishes him.

If Tiedan gets rabies from being bitten this time, she probably won't survive; her child is her life!

It was only then that Qin Suisui learned that Tie Dan'er and the other children had been found not far from the tree hole where she and Jia Zhenzhen had hidden that afternoon. Besides Tie Dan'er and Sanzhuzi, there were several other children who had gotten into a fight and bitten each other, and it was unclear who had bitten whom.

Qin Suisui: ...

What a naughty child! What a naughty child!

To reassure the Li family, Qin Suisui had no choice but to drag her tired body and give Tie Dan'er another acupuncture treatment. Fortunately, Tie Dan'er's infection was not deep and did not require too much effort, but it was still quite time-consuming. After the acupuncture was finished, it was almost 2 a.m.

After the acupuncture, the little guy was sleeping soundly. Looking at his sleeping face, Tie Dan'er's mother burst into tears again. She held Qin Suisui's hand and confirmed that Tie Dan'er was alright before she finally felt relieved. However, she fainted again in the blink of an eye.

Qin Suisui quickly caught her, her fingers swiftly resting on her wrist. A minute later, she glanced suspiciously at Li Laoda and Aunt Zhang, tentatively asking, "What were you just saying? That she can't have children anymore?"

Li Laoda was extremely anxious, thinking that his wife's "old illness had relapsed," and quickly nodded: "That's right, that's what the doctor said at the time. He said that because of the fall, her maternal body was damaged, and she basically had no chance of getting pregnant in the future. That's why we cherish Tiedan'er so much."

"Comrade Qin, what's wrong with my wife?"

Hearing what Li Laoda said, Qin Suisui also began to doubt her own pulse diagnosis. She placed her hand on Tie Dan'er's mother's wrist again, this time taking her pulse for a full three minutes before slowly removing her hand to confirm that she had no doubts about the result she had obtained.

"If I'm not mistaken, she should be pregnant, already more than two months along. This fainting is caused by emotional distress. I'll give her an acupuncture injection, and we must never let her get too emotional again."

"What? My wife is pregnant?"

"What? The eldest son's wife is pregnant?"

The whole family stared wide-eyed at Qin Suisui in unison, looking at her incredulously.

Qin Suisui nodded, feeling somewhat uncertain herself: "If you don't believe me, you can take her to the town hospital for a blood test tomorrow; that's the most accurate way."

"We believe you! How could we not believe you! Comrade Qin, you are the most amazing doctor we have ever seen!" Aunt Zhang's worried expression had turned into a joyful one, and she couldn't stop smiling.

By the time Qin Suisui finished giving Tiedan'er's mother acupuncture, it was already three in the morning. Having received acupuncture three times in just a few hours, her body was starting to give out.

Jia Zhenzhen quickly stepped forward to support her: "Sui Sui, are you alright? Let's go back and rest first, your body can't take it if you keep going like this!"

The Li family members also snapped out of their joy and noticed that Qin Suisui's face was very pale. They realized something was wrong. Comrade Qin had traveled a long way and hadn't rested yet. She had only eaten half of her dinner and had been running around with them looking for and rescuing people. Even a person made of iron couldn't withstand that!

Aunt Zhang rushed to the kitchen and quickly cooked her a big bowl of brown sugar eggs, with a total of five eggs!

Of course, Jia Zhenzhen and Hu Jue were also present.

After they finished eating, the family took Qin Suisui and the other two to the stilted house next door.

The Li family diligently prepared all the water for her to wash and drink. Aunt Zhang said to Qin Suisui with a face full of apology, "Girl, you are our family's benefactor. We were not thoughtful enough and made you suffer. You should rest well. You can sleep as late as you want tomorrow. Tomorrow, I will have the boy in the house stay downstairs. No one can disturb you. I promise you will get a good rest!"

Qin Suisui didn't stand on ceremony; she was indeed exhausted and needed a good night's sleep to recover.

After washing up, Qin Suisui was so tired that she could barely lift her arms. Jia Zhenzhen dragged her to the side of the bed and said, "Go to sleep first. I'll wash your clothes for you. Go to sleep now!"

Qin Suisui was a little embarrassed at first, but since Jia Zhenzhen was adamant, she didn't stand on ceremony. She figured she could just help Jia Zhenzhen with the washing tomorrow.

Aunt Zhang kept her word. The next morning at five o'clock, she had Li Laoda, Li Laoer, and Li Laosan take turns guarding the stilted house.

The news that Sanzhuzi had been cured by the new comrade with acupuncture spread throughout Hongshan Brigade before dawn the next day. The children from the other families who had also been bitten, like Tiedan'er, came to Captain Li's house early in the morning, hoping that Captain Li could help them talk to Qin Suisui and ask her to take a look at their children as well.

Aunt Zhang had anticipated this and had blocked everything for Qin Suisui, but she didn't help refuse either. She just said that Qin Suisui had received too many acupuncture treatments yesterday and her body hadn't recovered yet, so she was still resting. She told them to come back when she was rested.

Although everyone was anxious, Aunt Zhang was the brigade leader's wife, and her words carried some weight. They could only return home, still worried.

Qin Suisui slept until after 4 p.m. During that time, Aunt Zhang came by several times, and Hu Jue asked her several times from outside. Jia Zhenzhen was so worried that she wanted to put her hand under Qin Suisui's nose to check if she was breathing.

This made everyone feel relieved to see that she had finally woken up.

Before going to bed, Qin Suisui took her specially made "blood-restoring pills" and had a good sleep. Now she was finally feeling refreshed.

Aunt Zhang had already prepared the meal and kept it warm in the pot, waiting for her to wake up before eating.

This time the dishes were even more plentiful than yesterday's, including spicy chicken stir-fried with glutinous rice cake and chili, stewed red beans with cured pork, their local specialty ham that Qin Suisui had been craving, and crispy buns that were sweet and salty and melted in the mouth. For the main course, Aunt Zhang made small pot rice noodles with minced meat, chives, pickled vegetables, pea shoots and various sauces, which were rich and fragrant.

When Qin Suisui finished her meal and stretched as she walked out of the kitchen, she saw seven or eight dark-skinned people in the yard, all turning their heads to look at her.
