Chapter 405: My daughter-in-law should beat me
Ye Xiaomei calmly put clothes on the child, but she was afraid that the little arms could not wear clothes. She kept silent about what Director Li said.
"Oh mommy... ahhh, mommy... giggle."
Cheng Shuang giggled, drooling from his mouth, but there was no expression of pain on his little face.
Even Director Li couldn't help but praise him: "This kid is so plump and white. When spring comes, he can take off his heavy cotton shirt and pants and walk again."
Ye Xiaomei felt warm in her heart, and she would be relieved when he grew up.
Just at this moment, the landline phone on Director Li's desk rang. Ye Xiaomei didn't want to disturb him and left the hospital with the child.
"Yes, that's right. The serum in our hospital is ineffective for the patients poisoned this time. Can you deliver the serum to them within 24 hours?"
Director Li raised his eyebrows suddenly: "What? There is no such model? The research institute has the test product that has not been put on the market? That won't work. Even if the approval is accelerated and it goes smoothly, it will be too late."
"Yes, Qingyuan County Hospital. What? White Snake Serum?"
Director Li was shocked. Could it be that what the old man said was true? He had never heard of such a ridiculous thing in all his years of studying medicine. It turned out that toad venom could be detoxified with serum extracted from snake venom.
After hanging up the phone, Director Li rushed into the hospital. Because the source of the old man's poison was ominous and a stone skin layer had formed on his chest and hands, they had to squeeze out resources to get him an independent ward to prevent the possibility of infection.
At this moment, Director Li put on protective clothing and walked into the ward, leaning over to the ear of the old man who was receiving an IV drip.
Unexpectedly, before he even opened his mouth to speak, the old man stubbornly tried to get up, and hurriedly uttered a few words:
"White snake, white snake's blood... quick, help."
After he finished speaking, his voice became hoarse and his Adam's apple moved so fast that it felt like there were countless razor blades in his throat.
If Director Li had not received a call from the city hospital and learned that the white snake serum could detoxify, he would have really thought that the old man was talking nonsense:
"But our hospital does not have the white snake serum you mentioned."
"Yes, yes, yes..." The old man struggled to say three "yes" in a row: "The girl from Meihua Village who took the White Snake away, she can save me, come on, I will never forget her kindness."
Director Li's pupils shrank and he blurted out, "Ye Xiaomei?"
Could it be that the ghost stories in Plum Blossom Village were true? Did Ye Xiaomei really take away a white snake as thick as a bucket? I heard that the white snake was very obedient.
Thinking that Ye Xiaomei had just left, Director Li lost all patience and quickly closed the door of the ward and chased after her.
Don't do it for anything else, just for the county hospital to have a breakthrough, so that the application to be formally upgraded to a Class II hospital will be approved smoothly.
Director Li ran out as fast as he could. The streets were bustling with people as the New Year was approaching, but there was no sign of Ye Xiaomei.
It is not easy for villagers living in the mountains to make it to the market, so Ye Xiaomei might take this opportunity to buy some New Year goods.
There was really no other way, so Director Li walked back and forth on the street looking for it. Tailor shops that sold melon seeds, candies, and made clothes were the busiest places during the New Year.
At this moment, Ye Xiaomei was in no mood to stroll around, and had already returned to the village on the tractor.
It was already dark when they got home. Wang Lan ran out when she heard the noise. Seeing Ye Xiaomei's indifferent expression, she smiled awkwardly:
"Xiao Mei, you're back. Is the child okay?"
Ye Xiaomei just glanced at her without saying anything. Wang Lan became even more anxious and hurriedly followed her into the house:
"Xiao Mei, I made you some stewed pork ribs and added two poached eggs. Eat it while it's hot."
As he spoke, he opened the lid of the pot and quickly served Ye Xiaomei a bowl.
Ye Xiaomei glanced at Wang Lan coldly, then set her gaze on the door frame that she had kicked in pieces.
Wang Lan looked over and shuddered immediately.
Just now, after Ye Xiaomei left, she came back carrying Zili without catching up with him. When she saw the door frame, her heart skipped a beat.
I always thought that Ye Xiaomei was relying on Ma Qijun, the unfilial son who forgot his mother after marrying a wife, to support her. But who could have known that she had such a bad temper and was so violent.
With her strength, she could break her old waist with one kick.
I don't know if it was out of fear or guilt, or maybe because she was afraid that Ye Xiaomei would never let her take care of her grandson again, but she burst into tears as if someone had died in the house:
"Xiao Mei, please don't blame mom, okay? I swear, if any accident happens again, I will pay with my life, right?"
Ye Xiaomei had never seen Wang Lan cry like this before. It was no exaggeration to say that she was like a madman, with tears flowing like a river.
Ye Xiaomei felt helpless. If she didn't have to go to school and take care of business, she really didn't want Wang Lan to take care of the child. But she had no choice:
"I just don't understand why you're guarding against me like a thief. Why would I want to harm my own child?"
As she spoke, Ye Xiaomei sat on a bench holding her child. She hadn't eaten since noon and she was cold and hungry.
Cheng Shuang in my arms had already fallen asleep when the tractor was shaking.
Wang Lan was anxious, but when she saw that she was willing to eat the pork chop soup she made, she immediately stopped crying:
"Drink slowly, it's still hot. I've heated it up three times since I saw you didn't come."
As she said this, she stared at the child in Xiaomei's arms, opened her mouth and said with difficulty:
"You eat, I'll hold Cheng Shuang until you're full."
Ye Xiaomei glanced at Wang Lan, but unexpectedly, fear flashed across her eyes.
Ye Xiaomei still handed the child to Wang Lan. Wang Lan was overjoyed. She hurriedly and carefully took the child and looked at the child's face. When she saw the wound on the arm, Wang Lan choked up and slapped herself:
"I am old and confused. Why would I compete with the baby's mother for this favor?"
Ye Xiaomei was slightly stunned and looked at Wang Lan. Competing for favor?
Wang Lan suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly stopped crying.
At this moment, Ma Kaiqu rushed in from outside the door:
"What's wrong? I heard Liang Hui say that the child got scalded? What happened? Where's the child?"
Ye Xiaomei was slightly startled. In recent days, the task of supervising the construction of the house at home fell on her father-in-law. All day long, he was either running around to select rubble for building the foundation, or helping the workers, and also to make sure that the bricks at home would not be stolen.
Wang Lan immediately lowered his head.
Ye Xiaomei said calmly, "The child got scalded, the door was locked, and Mom couldn't find the key for a while."
Even if Ma Kaiqu was blind, he could still see the door frame that had been kicked in. The lock that was still hanging on the half-standing door frame was still unlocked.
Ye Xiaomei had never seen her father-in-law lose his temper like this.
His face darkened and he kicked the bench away: "Wang Lan, I've warned you not to be suspicious all the time. This child is Xiaomei and her husband's biological child. Why are you still treating him like a thief? If you loved the child so much, why did you agree to adopt Qiming out? Was it just for the sake of having people praise you?"
As he said this, he raised his hand to hit.
Ye Xiaomei was stunned. Although she gradually discovered after getting married that Wang Lan was not as good as she said, her father-in-law loved him very much and let him do whatever he wanted. He had never had a quarrel with his wife, let alone hit her.
Unexpectedly, this action directly annoyed Wang Lan. She stood up and put her face close to him:
"What do you want to do? Do you want to hit me? It's been decades since we got married, and you've never touched me. I know it's my fault. If anyone wants to hit someone, it should be Xiaomei. What right do you have to hit me? At worst, I can just go back to my parents' home."
