When Fang Tiezhu returned home with the medicine, he happened to see his wife washing her underpants in the yard. The smile on his face slowly faded, "Why are you washing this in broad daylight?"

"You got your pants on and you don't wash them? What are you going to wear if you don't wash them?" Sun Xuelian said unhappily.

"Still bleeding?" Fang Tiezhu put the medicine on the table in the main hall, came out and pulled Sun Xuelian out the door, "Come on, let's let Doctor Tian take a look."

"Hey, what are you doing!" Sun Xuelian tried to pull her hand back, but she wasn't as strong as the man. "I'm not going! I'm not going! The brigade is full of people, and it would be embarrassing enough if I went. Who knows how many old women in the village would gossip about me. I'm not going!"

"You have to go! You're still bleeding after more than a month. Even though I'm not a doctor, I know it's abnormal. Look at your face, which turns pale every day. You're about to die and you still don't care whether it's embarrassing or not! Which is more important, face or life!" Fang Tiezhu was pulled unable to move forward. He shook off Sun Xuelian's hand and said angrily.

Sun Xuelian also knew that this was not right, but what could she do? She had thought of going to the county health center, but she was examined by a male doctor. She finally overcame her shame and took off her pants for him to see, but he just groped her body and said that was it. She kept all these words in her heart and did not dare to tell her man, otherwise this fierce man would definitely go over and fight with the doctor!

He treats shitty illnesses, he's just bullying people! But Sun Xuelian thought about how the villagers would look at her if this matter got out!

The doctor looked very respectable and had no shortage of suitors. As a rural woman, even if she told others about how he had taken advantage of her, no one would believe her. Instead, they would accuse her of being a toad who wanted to eat swan meat and was deliberately trying to smear him.

The old ladies in the village would say that she was unfaithful and had been touched by other men, and they would also laugh at Fang Tiezhu for being cuckolded!

She has taken all kinds of medicine and visited the health center, but she still has persistent bleeding from her lower body. The amount is not large, but it happens every day. Recently, she feels that her health is getting worse and worse. She always lacks energy and often feels dizzy when she stands up.

"Anyway, I won't go. My face is more important than my life!" She leaned against the wall and said in a low but firm voice.

"You!" Fang Tiezhu was almost pissed off by this woman, but he knew Sun Xuelian was stubborn. If you were tough, she would just fight back. He had to be soft. "Think about our son. He's only ten years old. What would he do if something happened to you?"

Sun Xuelian didn't say anything.

Seeing that she was still unmoved, Fang Tiezhu said something even more cruel, "I'm telling you, Sun Xuelian, if you die, don't expect me to remain your virgin! I will definitely marry another one. If I can't marry a virgin, I'll find a pretty young widow, like the fair-skinned widow Yu from Qingshan Village! By then, your son will have a stepmother, and I'll have to have several more children with my new wife."

"Fuck you!" Before Fang Tiezhu could finish his words, Sun Xuelian hit him with a fire poker. "If you dare to find a stepmother for my son, I will destroy your penis. I will make sure you can never be a man again in your life!"

"Ouch! Ouch! Be gentle, be gentle!" Fang Tiezhu didn't care about the joke anymore and quickly dodged the stick that was coming at him. "I asked you to go see a doctor but you didn't go. You just want to die early so I can find you later!"

The fire poker in Sun Xuelian's hand loosened and fell to the ground with a clang. She squatted down, covered her face and started crying.

Fang Tiezhu saw that his wife was really mad at her and started crying, so he hurried over to comfort her. "Wife, don't cry, I did it on purpose to piss you off. I was wrong. Hit me, hit me! I promise I won't dodge this time! Whoever dodges is a bastard!"

Sun Xuelian ignored him and continued crying.

Fang Tiezhu was scratching his head anxiously around her, secretly regretting what was wrong with his head that he dared to say that. What if Xuelian cried and got hurt?

Just as Fang Tiezhu was about to move his mother-in-law over, Sun Xuelian stopped, raised her head and wiped away her tears. "You're right, I need to see a doctor. With a spendthrift like you around, I can't bear to see my son living under the care of his stepmother! I need to live well!"

Fang Tiezhu didn't care what his wife said, as long as she was willing to see a doctor, he immediately took her to the brigade headquarters.

When they arrived, only Zhang Defa and Accountant Lao Wang were talking. Fang Tiezhu asked, "Captain, where is Doctor Tian?"

"No one came to see the doctor, so I asked Xiaotian to go back first." He glanced at Sun Xuelian, whose eyes were red. He guessed that the couple must have had an argument, so he didn't ask any more questions. "If you want to see her, just go directly. She should be at home!"

The two thanked him and headed towards Tian Cai's house at the foot of the mountain.

Tian Cai was cooking when she heard someone knocking on the door. When she opened the door, she saw Fang Tiezhu who had come to see the doctor before.

Seeing Tian Cai's puzzled look, Fang Tiezhu quickly explained the reason for his visit, "Doctor Tian, ​​I also want you to help me take a look at my wife."

Tian Cai's gaze then moved to Sun Xuelian next to him. He saw that her face was pale, even her lips were pale, and she looked very bad.

Tian Cai let the two of them in and waited until they were seated in the main hall before she said, "Sister-in-law Fang, please tell me about your symptoms first. Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

"I, I," Sun Xuelian glanced at her man awkwardly. Seeing his encouraging look, she mustered up her courage and said in a mosquito-like voice, "I've been bleeding down there."

If Tian Cai's hearing was not so good now, she really would not be able to hear what was said. After asking about the initial cause of the bleeding and other symptoms, Tian Cai felt her pulse and asked her to go into the room and lie on the examination bed for a while.

"Sister-in-law, your heartbeat is too fast now. Lie here and calm down for a while. I will take your pulse. Don't worry."

Seeing that Sun Xuelian's clothes were tightly stitched, and even the patch on the cuffs was embroidered into a flower with yellow cotton thread, Tian Cai went back to the room and got her pillowcase to ask for advice. After a few words, Sun Xuelian's nervousness was mostly gone.

Tian Cai then put the pillowcase aside and started taking the patient's pulse again.

The pulse is relatively weak and shows signs of Qi deficiency and blood stasis. "Sister-in-law, have you been to the county health center before?"

As soon as Tian Cai said this, he felt his subordinate's pulse change. Sun Xuelian seemed to be stimulated by something, her face turned pale and her breathing became rapid.

Tian Cai quickly pretended to be casual and changed the subject, "You didn't take good care of your miscarriage before, and you have an intrauterine infection, which is why you have been bleeding profusely. The health center usually prescribes some anti-inflammatory medicine for you. It seems that you didn't even go to the hospital, which is why it took so long."

Sun Xuelian's expression brightened slightly after hearing this, and her breathing gradually became steady. "Yes, I went there before, but I didn't feel comfortable telling the doctor, so I was delayed."

Tian Cai pretended not to notice the problem and nodded. "Your illness won't be cured in a day or two. We need to divide it into several stages."

Seeing the couple's puzzled looks, Tian Cai slowly explained.
