His tone lowered, but Lin Qingyan raised her voice: "Silly child, can you stop talking nonsense? If you keep doing this, your sister will get angry. There is no hurdle that cannot be overcome in this world. If a problem is in front of us, we will find a way to solve it. Don't feel inferior now, and don't feel guilty in advance. Even if the two families are really enemies, you should look at the Yi family's attitude towards you, right?"
Lin Zhiheng seemed to have suddenly seen the light.
“Sister, the Yi family has never cared for me before, and I don’t want to acknowledge them. Only you and my mother-in-law are my true family.”
"That's right. Don't care so much about blood ties. Just live a happy and joyful life."
"Um."
The next morning, Grandma Lu and Shen Mengya took an oxcart to the county to call Grandpa Lu in Beijing from the post office.
However, when Mrs. Lu called Mr. Lu's office, it was answered by Mr. Lu's secretary, who told her that Mr. Lu had taken leave.
Do you know why he asked for leave?
The secretary said, "It seems they are going to visit relatives in a place called Mopantun Brigade."
Grandma Lu was relieved and said, "Okay, I understand."
She hung up the phone and told Shen Mengya that Mr. Lu was coming to Mopantun Brigade.
“I was just about to ask him to come over, but I didn’t expect him to come on his own initiative. Let’s wait for him here.”
These days, Lin Qingyan has discovered that the news of AIDS has reached the provincial level, and a report has been submitted.
After discussion and approval, the provincial medical and health departments will report to higher-level institutions and actively conduct large-scale investigations into the existence of AIDS in various regions, formulate AIDS prevention policies, and study treatment methods in the future.
Yesterday, Jiang Tiezhu and Wu Cuiying left the brigade clinic and secretly went to a village shaman to have her perform a ritual to change Wu Cuiying's gender. The shaman also asked a deity for a packet of elixirs for her to take home and consume daily.
The couple not only gave the sorceress money for incense and medicine, but also expressed their deepest gratitude to her, regarding her as a living deity.
I drank one dose as soon as I got home, and another dose this morning. I'll drink another dose around noon.
After learning that Lu's father was coming, Grandma Lu and Shen Mengya were no longer in a hurry to find Lin Qingyan. When they had nothing to do, the two of them would stroll around the village or wander aimlessly in the county town.
Lin Qingyan took her mother-in-law to work at the clinic as usual, and Lin Zhiheng went to work in the fields as usual.
In the evening, just as Lin Qingyan was about to leave work, someone rushed in in a great hurry. It was Jiang Tiezhu, who had utterly scorned Lin Qingyan the day before.
Jiang Tiezhu was sweating profusely and panting heavily from running.
Upon seeing Lin Qingyan, his expression became somewhat unnatural. He paused for only a second before saying to Lin Qingyan, "Dr. Lin, something terrible has happened! Cuiying, Cuiying has a stomachache and is bleeding a lot. Please come with me to see her quickly, otherwise I'm afraid she and the baby will be in danger."
He was so anxious that he was almost crying as he spoke.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Faced with this situation, Lin Qingyan certainly wouldn't hold a grudge against him for what happened yesterday, and immediately went to get the emergency kit.
Grandma Lin grumbled at Jiang Tiezhu with dissatisfaction, "Didn't you say our maid wasn't doing a good job? Why are you still calling her 'maid'?"
"I, I, I..." Jiang Tiezhu was so anxious that he couldn't speak and had no answer.
Lin Qingyan said, "Mother-in-law didn't mean to ask. Let's go quickly. Mother-in-law, you come with me too."
"Okay, girl."
They quickly locked the door and followed Jiang Tiezhu to the Jiang family home as fast as they could.
When they were still some distance from the Jiang family's house, they saw an old woman hurrying towards them from that direction.
Lin Qingyan recognized her; the other woman was a shaman from the village.
Although feudal superstition was being cracked down on at that time, people still privately accepted it. Many people secretly sought her out. As long as she didn't do it openly, even if someone reported her, without evidence, they couldn't do anything to her.
Everyone accepted this kind of thing, so no one reported her.
After they met, she noticed the fortune teller giving him a sneaky look before quickly looking away and hurrying past.
Jiang Tiezhu's expression was also a bit strange. Lin Qingyan guessed that Jiang Tiezhu had just gone to see the sorceress but couldn't find anything, so he came to see her again.
During the six months she worked as a doctor here, many patients said she was better at treating them than a fortune teller. She then told those people to believe in science and not to be superstitious.
As soon as they arrived in the Jiang family's courtyard, they heard shouts coming from inside the house.
"Oh no, I can't live anymore! Oh, it hurts so much! My child, my child, who will save my child? My child, please don't die! Ouch!"
Lin Qingyan hurried a few steps and entered the room to find Wu Cuiying lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), tossing and turning restlessly, in excruciating pain.
Her pants were soaked with blood, and there was a large patch of blood on the kang (a heated brick bed).
Her mother-in-law, Jiang Li, just watched coldly from the side, not worried at all.
"Scream, scream, scream. You were born a girl anyway, so what if you miscarried? What's there to be upset about?"
When Jiang Li saw Lin Qingyan arrive, her expression remained unchanged, still cold.
"I just saw off the sorceress, and now they've called the doctor. They're just wasting my money."
She walked up to Lin Qingyan and said, "Dr. Lin, please examine her first. If there's nothing serious, you don't need to examine her. She's very healthy; a miscarriage won't cause any problems."
Lin Qingyan did not respond. Wu Cuiying was not easy to get along with, and her mother-in-law was even more troublesome.
She didn't say much; she examined Wu Cuiying first.
At this moment, Wu Cuiying was no longer as domineering as she had been the day before. She quickly begged Lin Qingyan for help: "Dr. Lin, Dr. Lin. You must save my child, please save my child, I can't live without my son."
"What son? It's probably just a girl." Jiang Li said ruthlessly.
