The woman didn't say what she was going to say, but the meaning was obvious, and Tao Lihua immediately got angry.

"Which gossip is spreading rumors? My Zhaozhao is perfectly fine."

Seeing Tao Lihua's expression, and considering that she was the village chief's wife, no one dared to speak up.

Tao Lihua didn't have time to argue with them; she went home to write a letter to her second son.

Ye Zhaozhao was sitting in her office, feeling drowsy. Ever since she became pregnant, she had become very sleepy. Suddenly, Xue Qi opened the door and came in.

"Master, a child has a high fever and is having convulsions."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhaozhao immediately snapped out of her daze and followed Xue Qi over. The woman, holding the child, quickly came over when she saw Ye Zhaozhao.

"Doctor, please save my son."

The baby in her arms was still convulsing. Ye Zhaozhao didn't care about anything else. She told the woman to put the baby on the ground, lay the baby flat, and undress the baby.

He lay on his side, clearing secretions from his mouth and nose, watching Ye Zhaozhao's series of actions.

The woman stopped crying, and Ye Zhaozhao felt relieved for a moment. She continued to press the child's philtrum for five minutes.

After the child's seizure subsided, Ye Zhaozhao had Xue Qi give him antipyretics and also used physical methods to cool him down, wiping the child's body with warm water.

The woman felt much better after taking care of the child and quickly thanked Ye Zhaozhao. Ye Zhaozhao waved her hand and went back to sleep. In the afternoon, the brigade commander of the military region arrived.

Hearing that Ye Zhaozhao had saved his son, he came to express his gratitude. Only then did Ye Zhaozhao realize that the child was the brigade commander's son.

The brigade commander looks to be over forty years old, and the child is no more than five years old.

The father and son are quite far apart in age, but Ye Zhaozhao, not one to gossip, spoke up.

"Comrade Ye, thank you so much for saving my son today. When Yun Duan comes back, I will definitely come to your house for a meal. I will ask your aunt to cook you something delicious."

"Brigade Commander, you're too kind. We'll definitely go back later."

The two exchanged a few words, and the brigade commander, worried about his son, went back to his ward. Ye Zhaozhao, seeing that there was nothing for her to do, continued to sleep and slept until she got off work.

Xue Qi was on duty tonight. Ye Zhaozhao told her to prevent the child from getting a fever again in the middle of the night, and to take care of the other hospitalized patients. Xue Qi nodded.

"Master, don't worry, I will be careful."

Seeing that no one was around, Xue Qi told Ye Zhaozhao that the child during the day was the brigade commander's late-life child, born when he was forty-three years old. No wonder the brigade commander was so nervous.

Ye Zhaozhao understood; what parents least want to see their children suffer. After explaining to Xue Qi, Ye Zhaozhao went home.

Now that Grandma is here, Tuantuan and Yuanyuan no longer need to go to daycare. When Grandma saw Zhaozhao come back, she quickly came over and said.

"Zhaozhao, Grandma made your favorite sauerkraut stew with pork ribs. Wash your hands and come eat."

"Thank you, Grandma."

Ye Zhaozhao was craving meat. The ribs were bought by the old lady at the supply and marketing cooperative today. She only got them because no one else was buying them. The pickled cabbage and ribs were very appetizing.

The ribs were fresh, and the pickled cabbage was sour; it was especially delicious. Ye Zhaozhao invited her grandmother and mother-in-law to sit down and eat together. There was such a big bowl; she couldn't finish it all by herself.

Tuantuan and Yuanyuan had already eaten before Ye Zhaozhao returned, so they weren't hungry. After saying a few words to her, they went to play with Xiaobao and Lele.

Eat more.

Grandma felt sorry for Ye Zhaozhao because she was so thin. Ye Zhaozhao ate with a satisfied look on her face. Ever since she got pregnant, she had been craving something sour.

The pickled cabbage was just right, and even Gu's mother thought the old lady's cooking skills were superb.

After finishing her meal, Ye Zhaozhao took a walk in the yard to aid digestion. The old lady was pickling sauerkraut in a jar that she had just bought at the supply and marketing cooperative that day.

"Zhaozhao, when is your grandson-in-law coming back?"

The old lady wanted to see Gu Yunduan with her own eyes before going back, otherwise she wouldn't feel at ease.

Ye Zhaozhao thought that he would not be back for a while, so she let her grandmother stay at home for a few more days.

The old lady thought it was a good idea. After the baby was born, she would also help take care of the mother during her postpartum period. How could Gu's mother manage so many things on her own?

Gu's mother and the old lady got along very well. They shared the housework and helped take care of the children, which brought them closer together.

"Grandma, just stay here and relax."

"good."

The next morning, as soon as Ye Zhaozhao opened the door, she saw a woman. After recognizing her as the brigade commander's wife, Ye Zhaozhao greeted her.

"Auntie, what brings you here? Please come inside and have a seat."

"Zhaozhao, I won't go in. Thank you for saving my son."

As she spoke, the woman handed her the things she was carrying, but Ye Zhaozhao refused.

“Auntie, I’m a doctor. Saving him is my responsibility. I can’t accept this. You should take it back.”

“My man asked me to deliver this. If I take it back, he will bring it back himself later. Just accept it.”

The woman was worried that Ye Zhaozhao would refuse, so she left after stuffing the things into her hands, leaving Ye Zhaozhao looking helpless.

I was thinking of bringing them some nourishing pills when we went out for dinner later.

When Gu's mother saw that Ye Zhaozhao had brought back a package, she asked where it came from, and Ye Zhaozhao told the truth.

Upon opening the package, I found a large bag brimming with White Rabbit candies, cookies, and chocolates.

"This brigade commander's wife is too generous."

Gu's mother sighed, and Ye Zhaozhao also felt that the brigade commander and his wife were being too polite.

Ye Zhaozhao asked Gu's mother to put her things away before she went to work.

As soon as Ye Zhaozhao entered the hospital, she was summoned by the hospital director. It turned out that the hospital wanted to promote her to the position of department head.

However, there was another person who also signed up to compete for this promotion.

"Comrade Ye, I know your capabilities, but this person is the vice dean's nephew, which makes things difficult for me."

Ye Zhaozhao knew what the dean meant; he simply wanted her to compete with this person. Whoever passed would get promoted, and Ye Zhaozhao wasn't afraid.
