Chapter 89 I'll Save the Mother
Lu Jianshe and his men frantically shoveled snow ahead to clear a path for Wang Liping, but human strength is limited. Just as they were exhausted, they suddenly heard shouts from behind.
He turned his head and saw dozens of people wielding shovels, running towards him with their heads down; there were men, women, and even teenagers.
Feng Zhengyang and Wang Liping watched, feeling both excited and grateful.
Feng Zhengyang turned to look at everyone and kept bowing to express his gratitude.
"Thank you everyone, thank you everyone. When Liping and the child arrive at the hospital, I, I'll treat you all to a meal, meat, thank you, thank you everyone."
"Who wants to eat your food? We're just doing a good deed, not doing it for anything."
"That's right, I don't like eating meat at all, I prefer working."
"Stop joking around and hurry up and shovel the snow, everyone!"
......
Many hands make light work. Shen Yuzhu secretly licked the bottle of spiritual spring water onto the ox. Good heavens, the old ox immediately became full of energy and started pulling the cart forward.
The old man rushing to catch the bus was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with wild joy. Old Niu had regained his youth!
Wang Liping could no longer feel the pain in her body. Seeing so many people working so hard to shovel snow and clear the way for her and her child, she felt increasingly embarrassed.
Shen Yuzhu was finally relieved to see that her complexion had regained some color, and that the money had been well spent.
Qiao Wangshu and Liang Manxiu asked Wang Liping and learned that she was feeling better, which relieved them.
At this point, Shen Yuzhu finally asked, "What exactly happened? The entrance to the kitchen at the educated youth settlement was covered with soot from the bottom of pots. How could you slip and fall?"
"Well, in the morning, Feng Zhiqing replaced a whole basket of soot from the bottom of the pot, and also replaced it at the entrance to the kitchen, the entrance to our dormitory, and the entrance to the outhouse. But Liping still fell."
“That’s not right. When we took Liping away, there was clearly no soot from the bottom of the pot at the door, and the ground at the kitchen door was all muddy. You could easily slip and fall if you weren’t careful.”
"No, there is moss. There is moss at the entrance."
Feng Zhengyang suddenly remembered and shouted twice. His face turned deathly pale. This...this person wanted to harm his wife and children!
He and Wang Liping never did anything outrageous at the educated youth settlement, nor did they make enemies. Although they had a few arguments with people at the last gathering of educated youth, everyone spoke normally when they ate together afterwards. He didn't see anyone looking unhappy, especially towards him and Wang Liping.
Who could be so cruel as to kill a pregnant woman and her unborn child?
Wang Liping was also extremely flustered. If someone wanted to harm her, even if they failed this time, there would be a next time!
The young couple exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with fear.
Shen Yuzhu and the others quickly comforted her, saying that now was not the time to think about such things.
After passing through several villages, they learned that the group was shoveling snow to clear a path for a pregnant woman who had fallen. They shouted and joined in, and as more and more people joined, the road was shoveled faster and faster.
Upon arriving at the county hospital, Wang Liping was quickly taken to a ward for examination.
About half an hour later, the doctor came out of the ward, and Feng Zhengyang rushed over to him.
"Doctor, how is my wife? How is she?"
"The child is alright."
"I'm not asking the child, I'm asking the adults. Are the adults alright? I need to save the adults."
doctor:"......"
It's not like giving birth, why are you trying to save the mother? This person must be out of their mind!
"Both mother and child are fine. It must be because the medication you gave her to prevent miscarriage worked, and she also had ginseng slices in her mouth the whole time. However, the pregnancy is still very early in the pregnancy. She almost miscarried after falling, so we still need to be more careful. She should stay in the hospital for a couple of days for observation. During this time, we should give the pregnant woman more blood-nourishing foods, such as red dates, brown sugar, and red beans."
Feng Zhengyang finally felt relieved. "Thank you, doctor. Thank you, doctor."
Thinking of the villagers waiting outside the hospital, Feng Zhengyang frantically rummaged through his pockets and pulled out twenty yuan and some grain coupons.
He could earn more money, but he couldn't let the villagers who had come along make the trip only to end up with nothing and feel disheartened.
“Shen, Qiao, and Liang, thank you for coming all this way. Please take this money and grain coupons and help me buy two jin of candy so they can share it with their children back home. Oh, by the way, I remember the state-run restaurant serves hot meatball soup. Please buy a bowl for each of you so you can have a warm drink before you go home. Thank you. Once my daughter Liping is discharged from the hospital, my husband and I will definitely visit each of you in person. Thank you.”
"Don't be so polite. Liping is our sister too, you don't need to give her anything..."
"Yes, I should pay for it. Thank you. If we ever encounter any difficulties in the future, I'll just ask you for help."
Shen Yuzhu took the money and food coupons, went out to greet the people, and left.
With Feng Zhengyang taking care of Wang Liping, they felt at ease.
The villagers were overjoyed to hear that Wang Liping was alright.
The man was beaming with joy after doing a good deed. There were also some young children there, shivering from the cold outside the hospital.
Knowing that Wang Zhiqing and the child were alright, they discussed leaving.
Shen Yuzhu and the others quickly stopped them. At first, none of them wanted to go to the state-run restaurant. Most of them rarely came to the county town, and even when they did, they would only visit the supply and marketing cooperative. Almost none of them were willing to go to the state-run restaurant.
Unable to resist Shen Yuzhu's silver tongue, everyone followed her to the restaurant. However, once they reached the entrance, they refused to go in. They noticed that although there weren't many people inside, they all seemed to be cultured individuals. They were covered in dirt and didn't dare to go in and embarrass themselves.
Having no other choice, Shen Yuzhu and the others bought more than twenty bowls of meatball soup, giving each of them a large bowl. The three of them also pooled their money to buy some sesame seed cakes, which they each shared.
The meatball soup was plentiful, with lots of glass noodles added, and the sesame seed cake was bigger than a person's face.
Everyone was warm all over, even if they weren't full. They felt that their help hadn't been in vain and that Wang and Feng, the educated youth, were grateful people.
After the meal, the group headed home.
Halfway there, Shen Yuzhu suddenly called out to everyone.
"Everyone, to be honest, it might have been intentional for Wang Zhiqing to fall down today. So if anyone asks about it later, just say that Wang Zhiqing has had a miscarriage, and that it might not be good."
Why is that?
"What else could it be? Shen Zhiqing means to see who is the troublemaker, right, Shen Zhiqing?"
Shen Yuzhu nodded, cupped her hands in greeting to everyone, and then distributed the candy that Feng Zhengyang had asked them to buy.
Why wouldn't I agree? Anyway, everyone's going home now, and anyone who dares to come and ask questions will be a suspect.
