Jiang Youran, reborn at the age of four, decided to marry her mother, Mrs. Su—who died in depression before she was 28 in her previous life—to her cousin, Duke Ping, who had always harbored feeling...
She looked up in astonishment at the mother and son who had caused chaos in the crowd, her face turning bright red.
Doctor Gu's complexion was also not good.
Several of the women in the queue were heavily pregnant. They frantically dodged the running mother and child, screaming, "What are you doing? Stop! Stop it!"
The boy, enraged by the beating, ran straight into the crowd.
The woman's hands didn't stop, and one of her strokes landed on a pregnant woman waiting nearby.
The woman screamed, clutched her stomach, and collapsed onto the old woman beside her. "Ah..."
Doctor Gu was furious, "Stop!"
Granny Zhang showed no sign of stopping.
Sweating profusely, Yan Jin rushed forward, grabbed Granny Zhang's hand, and knelt down with a thud. "Mother, I beg you, please stop causing trouble here!"
The old woman slapped her across the face. "You little slut, what business is it of yours how I discipline my son?"
A woman nearby angrily rebuked him, "You old woman, you're being unreasonable! If you want to discipline your own son, lock him in the house and discipline him slowly. Who told you to rush out and bump into us?!"
Old Mrs. Zhang, hands on her hips, said shrewishly, "Where I discipline my son is none of your business! Did he offend you? My daughter works at this pharmacy, so what if she offended you?"
"Oh dear, you're talking as if this pharmacy is owned by your daughter? Your daughter isn't even the owner of this pharmacy, yet you're so arrogant. Who gave you the guts?" the woman said contemptuously.
Yan Jin quickly pulled her mother inside, saying, "Mother, you should go back first! Didn't I tell you? You can't come in here!"
Granny Zhang spat, "This area is full of sick people and the smell of medicine! Who wants to come here?!"
The woman was displeased. "What nonsense are you spouting? We've all come here to see a doctor specializing in treating illness. What do you mean by 'passed-through illness'? Can't you speak properly?"
Old Granny Zhang, who was being pulled backward, stopped in her tracks, turned around, pointed at the woman's nose, and cursed, "And who do you think you are? You're all sick people, you only come to see a doctor because you're sick! Am I wrong?"
"You! We just went to see Doctor Gu to check our pulses! How could we be sick? Don't talk nonsense!"
Yan Jin clenched her teeth tightly, her face showing both anger and sorrow. This kind of thing happened every month.
She tried to pull her mother into the back room, but she was only an eleven or twelve-year-old girl and no match for Granny Zhang's strength.
Just then, the woman who had been hit by Granny Zhang suddenly clutched her stomach and cried out, "It hurts...it hurts...it hurts so much!"
Doctor Gu's expression changed drastically. He stood up, took a few quick steps, and went to the woman's side to check her pulse. His expression turned even worse. "It seems she's going to give birth prematurely!"
The old woman beside her turned pale with fright. "Dr. Gu, isn't my wife still a month away from giving birth?"
A woman nearby said indignantly, "She must have been frightened by those two bastards to have gone into premature labor!"
Doctor Gu was already directing two rough-looking women in the clinic, "Quick! Move it to the sterile room in the back!"
Upon hearing this, a hint of unease flashed across Granny Zhang's face.
Xiao Youran noticed this and her expression hardened.
Sure enough, after the two old women carried the pregnant woman to the back room, Yan Jin's expression changed drastically when she saw that the door to the sterile room was open.
She was furious. "Mother, you tampered with the sterile room?"
This sterile room was temporarily set up by Doctor Gu during the two previous emergency treatments at the clinic. It has been kept there for future use in order to treat critically ill patients.
This sterile room, which had always been closed, was now open. She could tell at a glance that the mother and her three children had tampered with it.
Zhang Pozi remained unfazed by Yan Jin's raging anger, saying, "So what if I moved? I moved!"
The renowned physician Gu, who followed, entered and was also furious upon hearing this. "I've tolerated you all long enough! Get out of the clinic!"
Old Mrs. Zhang pointed at Yan Jin's nose and cursed, "I gave birth to you and raised you. You work in this clinic, and we only live in two rooms. You can't just abandon our family!"
Yan Jin was so angry that he was trembling all over.
Doctor Gu, no longer bothering to argue with the rogue, quickly directed two old women to go in and tidy up the sterile room.
Everyone watched as tattered clothes, bedding strips, and other items were thrown out of the sterile room.
Granny Zhang rushed forward and grabbed the clothes, yelling, "Why are you throwing my things out like this?! Who's going to pay me back if they're damaged?"
The pregnant woman, who was about to give birth, suddenly screamed again. The old woman next to her cried out in panic, "Oh no! My wife's water has broken!"
"ah……"
Seeing this chaos, Yan Jin felt her vision blurring.
She recalled what the young county princess had told her earlier: "Some things should be decided decisively, otherwise you will only suffer."
She glanced at the bustling crowd, then at her wailing mother, her eldest brother lounging lazily in the corner sunbathing, her second brother standing by the wall rubbing his bottom with a gloating expression, and her third brother who was probably sleeping soundly inside the house.
A strong feeling of sorrow welled up in my heart.
She gritted her teeth and knelt down in front of Xiao Youran with a thud. "Young Princess, please let a few guards in and escort my mother and children out of the city. Don't let them come back!"
Xiao You Ran raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure?"
Yan Jin nodded, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. "I have already treated them with the utmost kindness. I cannot let them continue to harm the patients at the clinic and ruin the reputation of the clinic and my master."
Xiao Youran nodded and instructed Su Yue, "Why aren't you letting Song San and Song Si in? Get rid of these parasites!"
"yes!"
A moment later, Song San and Song Si entered with two guards, and dragged the old woman and her three children out.
Granny Zhang and the others punched and kicked her, wailing and cursing, but the guards shoved a shoe into her mouth.
The back room quickly quieted down.
The two old women were very quick; they cleaned the sterile room thoroughly and then wiped the mat with hot water.
Then Doctor Gu looked at Xiao Youran with longing eyes.
Xiao Youran sighed inwardly and resignedly walked into the sterile room. A moment later, the entire sterile room was filled with the smell of disinfectant. All the surgical instruments were readily available, and a disposable surgical sheet was laid on the bed. Several sets of disposable surgical gowns were also placed on the small table next to it.
Only then did Doctor Gu lead Yan Jin and Yue Yue into the operating room with satisfaction.
Fortunately, although the mother was frightened, the delivery went quite smoothly, and two hours later, she gave birth to a baby boy.
