Chapter 76 Don't you dare ruin the fact that my male lead has several confidantes around him...
Zhao Shuyi didn't know what was wrong with the other person, but she immediately poured them a cup of spiritual spring water.
Judging from Zhang Yue's appearance, her condition must be very serious.
"Support her, give her some water, and I'll check her pulse."
The water was warm; Zhao Shuyi now prefers to drink warm water.
He Xu quickly took the water and began to feed it to Zhang Yue.
Seeing that Zhang Yue was dazed, Zhao Shuyi said to her, "You're pregnant, and you're showing signs of threatened miscarriage. Drink more water."
He Xu was a little nervous. "Will drinking more water help? I told her to go to the hospital, but she insisted on coming to see you. Should we go to the hospital together now?"
His voice trembled slightly. It wasn't that he didn't trust Zhao Shuyi, but rather that since they had nothing at home, he felt more at ease knowing that the hospital would provide medicine and other necessities.
“We’ll go, but we can wait a bit. I’ll give her some acupuncture first to stabilize her condition. She shouldn’t be jostled around too much right now. Otherwise, I can prescribe some medicine for her. You can go to the hospital to get the medicine and brew it. We can go to the hospital for a check-up when she feels better.”
He Xu nodded, but still hesitated, asking, "Is this alright? Will she really be okay?"
"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to her."
Perhaps because Zhao Shuyi's tone was too calm, He Xu gradually calmed down as well.
At this moment, Zhang Yue also woke up. She pouted and called out in a wronged tone, "Sister Shuyi."
"It's nothing serious. Just drink more hot water and take your medicine in a bit, and you'll feel better."
Zhao Shuyi quickly prescribed the medicine, and He Xu hurriedly ran to get it.
Gu Yan brought Zhao Shuyi a basin of hot water. Only then did Zhao Shuyi notice that his entire body was covered in black soot, clearly indicating that he had really gone to put out a fire.
Moreover, Zhang Yue was also covered in black soot. She frowned and asked Zhang Yue, "Did you go to put out the fire too?"
"No, I just encountered someone setting a fire."
Zhang Yue complained to Zhao Shuyi with some grievances. It turned out that their department had indeed been carrying out forest fire prevention publicity work these days, especially since the Chinese New Year was just around the corner, and many people would go to the mountains to pay respects to their ancestors.
There's a lot of pressure outside right now, with a crackdown on feudal superstition, but some people don't care about that, especially those living in remote mountain villages. They have their own set of thought and logic.
So those of them who do propaganda work go to the countryside to spread the word. Who knew that when they went there today, they would happen to run into someone smoking a pipe on the mountain.
“Our colleague argued with him, and he threw the cigarette butt directly on the ground, and it actually caught fire.”
Zhang Yue still seemed a little shaken.
"It burned too fast, we didn't have time to put out the fire, so we ran down, but the fire just kept spreading further and further away."
Hearing her say that, Zhao Shuyi felt helpless.
These grassroots tasks have always been the most difficult to do, but someone always has to do them.
"Is anyone injured?"
Zhang Yue nodded. "That old man was probably scared too. He insisted on going up there to put out the fire. He's burned beyond recognition, and we don't know if he'll survive. Several young soldiers who went up to put out the fire also suffered burns, but it seems like they're not in any danger. They've all been taken to the hospital now."
Zhang Yue sounded very aggrieved as she spoke. It was something that could have been avoided, but it had been turned into this, and she felt a little upset.
"Don't overthink it. It's none of your business. Someone like him would have gotten into trouble sooner or later even without you guys. Your most important task right now is to take care of your health and protect the baby in your belly. You've been working too hard lately. You can't keep working like this."
She suddenly showed signs of miscarriage today, not because she fell or anything, but because of high stress, coupled with the fact that she has been working too hard lately and not getting enough nutrition, which is why it is affecting the baby in her womb.
We'll definitely need to keep it in place for the next period of time.
Zhang Yue probably knew her current situation. She nodded honestly and said, "I know. I'll ask for leave tomorrow and make sure I recover before going back to work."
In this situation, health is definitely more important than work.
Zhang Yue knows that her current job is too tiring. If she were alone, she could persevere, but now she is with two people, so she has to take care of herself first.
Seeing that she had thought things through, Zhao Shuyi was relieved.
That's exactly the kind of obedient patient we need.
"I'll make you a cup of brown sugar water. Drink some first to feel better. After He Xu comes back to prepare the medicine, drink some of the medicine and get some rest. You should be fine after a couple of days of rest, so don't worry too much."
She couldn't keep making Zhang Yue drink hot water, so she had to add more spiritual spring water to the brown sugar water for her to drink.
Zhang Yue's mental state has visibly improved, and she asked, "Don't I need acupuncture?"
Didn't you just say you wanted acupuncture?
"You seem to be in good spirits, so there's nothing to do for now. Don't move around unnecessarily."
"Okay." Zhang Yue obediently complied.
He Xu didn't know how he got there, but he returned in less than half an hour. He brewed some medicine for Zhang Yue to drink, and Zhao Shuyi simply let Zhang Yue sleep with her, sending Gu Yan to the guest room next door.
He Xu didn't go back either, but squeezed into the guest room next door with Gu Yan.
When Zhao Shuyi woke up the next day, Zhang Yue was still asleep. She gently checked Zhang Yue's pulse and realized that Zhang Yue had fully recovered. Zhao Shuyi got up with peace of mind.
As soon as she stepped out, two pairs of eyes stared straight at her. Zhao Shuyi said to He Xu, "Don't worry, she's fine now, but she needs to rest well during this period. Go and ask for leave for her."
"I've already invited them, and I've been waiting for a week."
Zhao Shuyi: "..."
Isn't this a bit too much?
"That's fine, it's good to get some rest."
He Xu was clearly still not at ease.
“Sister-in-law, given her condition, can she still go to work? Could you issue a certificate so she can go back to work after giving birth? I don’t want her to go through something like this again, and she’s already working so hard.”
He Xu knew how much Zhang Yue loved her job, so he didn't dare to suggest that she quit. He just wanted her to rest at home for a while longer.
Zhao Shuyi had no objections; it was up to Zhang Yue to decide.
“But if she doesn’t go to work, she’ll get bored staying at home alone. She can go for a while after three months and then come back after giving birth.”
Zhang Yue was still a little confused when she woke up in Zhao Shuyi's bed. "How did I get here?"
Suddenly, as if remembering something, she touched her stomach. "My stomach!"
"It's alright, it's alright, your child is fine."
Zhao Shuyi comforted her.
"child?"
Zhao Shuyi nodded. "Yes, you're pregnant. You need to be careful and not overwork yourself."
Zhang Yue was overjoyed, "Is there a baby in my belly?"
She had just finished speaking when there was a knock at the door. He Xu asked, "May I come in?"
Zhao Shuyi: "Come in, you two chat for a while, I'll go out and make something for Zhang Yue to eat."
He glanced at Zhang Yue and quickly went out to say, "I've already made it. I'll go and bring it in for her."
He left in a hurry, and Zhao Shuyi looked at Zhang Yue with a smile.
"Company Commander He is really good to you."
This couple was the most stable Zhao Shuyi had ever met. They were completely devoted to each other, and both families were supportive, so there seemed to be no friction between them.
Zhang Yue happily patted her belly, not denying it, and said, "You and Deputy Regiment Commander Gu are not bad either."
"You two are the envy of all those older women."
As the two were talking, He Xu came in with a bowl of boiled brown sugar eggs. This was considered the highest-grade tonic in this era, and it was good for women.
Zhao Shuyi didn't get in the way and quickly left the room.
Because she is busy, she rarely has time to rest, and the family compound here has not been tidied up much and is still somewhat empty.
Zhao Shuyi couldn't think of anything to do for a moment. She looked at the vegetable garden in the yard and carefully walked around it. In fact, it was only two small plots of land, and it was difficult for her to find even two weeds.
Just as they finally spotted a tree and squatted down, Gu Yan entered the yard without them noticing.
"What are you doing? Just wait for me to come back and take care of it. You don't need to bother."
Zhao Shuyi held up the weeds she had painstakingly pulled out and said, "I guess I've also participated in building our vegetable garden."
With a stern face, Gu Yan stepped forward and helped her to a flat area, saying, "You've participated by eating the vegetables, so you don't need to work in the fields. I'll take care of all the work."
He knew Zhao Shuyi couldn't sit still, so he kept an eye on the vegetable garden early in the morning, thinking that there absolutely couldn't be a single weed or worm. He didn't expect that Zhao Shuyi would still find it.
Zhao Shuyi felt helpless about his actions.
But since he'd already done it, there was nothing he could do about it.
Where are they?
Zhao Shuyi gestured towards the room with her lip.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yan stopped going inside and stood there watching Zhao Shuyi, seemingly worried that she might do something dangerous again.
"Hmm, are you not busy today?"
"No need, I'll take the day off to be with you."
Zhao Shuyi frowned. "If you have important business to attend to, you don't need to come with me. I can manage on my own. I'm pregnant, not missing an arm or a leg."
"Don't talk nonsense. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll teach you a lesson."
Gu Yan's feigned anger was quite amusing. Zhao Shuyi smiled and asked, "How are you going to punish me? Hit me?"
Gu Yan nodded seriously, then lowered his voice, "Don't beg for mercy later."
"What should I do? I'm so scared, Deputy Regiment Commander Gu."
She spoke, but her actions showed no fear whatsoever. She raised her hand to pinch Gu Yan's waist, and Gu Yan held her hand.
Just then, the door inside suddenly creaked, and the two quickly backed away again. Gu Yan looked at Zhao Shuyi with great concern, afraid that she might fall if she backed away too quickly.
When Zhang Yue and the other came out, they were startled to see Gu Yan looking anxious as he went to help Zhao Shuyi.
"What happened? Are you alright?" Zhang Yue asked anxiously.
Both Zhao Shuyi and the other woman felt awkward, but she was thick-skinned and said, "It's okay, why did you get up? You should lie down for a while and don't tire yourself out."
Zhang Yue said, "I'm not tired. I'll go back and lie down. I can't just stay at your house all the time, it's not convenient."
Zhao Shuyi understood the logic and didn't stop her. She and Gu Yan took them home together.
"I'm fine, you guys go back first. I can manage with He Xu here."
Since He Xu was there, Zhao Shuyi didn't linger. She gave him some instructions on what to be careful about and then returned with Gu Yan.
The two only started talking about the fire the night before while on the way.
"It's Tuanjie Village, the place where Comrade Zhu Yao lives."
Zhao Shuyi was startled, "Wouldn't Zhu Yao's father-in-law also be implicated?"
It's called a village now, but it's actually a production team.
Zhu Yao's father-in-law was the production team leader, so he was responsible for the entire production team. If a fire broke out in the production team, he would definitely be implicated.
"Was it done on purpose?" Zhao Shuyi subconsciously wondered about a conspiracy.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yan said, "It's not impossible. That scoundrel's family is vying for the position of brigade leader with the current one."
"That guy, what's his name, Sanlaizi? Doesn't he have any common sense? Doesn't he know that if he sets a fire, he bears the greatest responsibility?"
He said he just wanted to scare Zhang Yue and didn't mean to throw the cigarette butt away.
No one knows whether what he said is true or false. Maybe he really didn't mean to throw cigarette butts on purpose, but it's definitely a bad habit he's developed.
"Why would he scare Zhang Yue? Wasn't Zhang Yue there to persuade them to stop the fire? How did she end up in a conflict with them?"
Gu Yan was naturally unaware that his main purpose was to put out the fire.
"I heard some young soldiers were burned. Do they need scar removal cream?"
Zhao Shuyi thought for a moment and realized that she couldn't really help much. The only thing she could provide was this scar removal cream to see if it could alleviate their pain.
We had previously agreed to provide it to the military hospital, but we've been so busy lately that we've delayed it.
Director Kong and the others must have been very busy, so they didn't ask, or perhaps they were too embarrassed to ask.
Gu Yan nodded. "Do I have to make this myself? Won't it be a lot of work?"
"No, it's just cooking some food. It's much easier than making rounds and dealing with patients."
Gu Yan's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Then, wife, why don't you work in the pharmaceutical industry from now on?"
Zhao Shuyi glared at him. In this situation, it wasn't up to Zhao Shuyi to do whatever she wanted anymore.
Having embarked on this path, she has a responsibility to her patients, and there are indeed many people who need her help.
Zhao Shuyi had already made up her mind. She planned to go to Kangfu, and of course, she would still have to make the ointment and the like.
"I'll go back and write down the prescription. You go to the military hospital to get some medicine, and we'll start making it today."
"I also have some ready-made ones. You can send them over first and apply them every day. Although they won't heal quickly, they will definitely make them more comfortable."
There's still a lot left over from what was used for Xia Mulan before. Some of the spiritual spring water was diluted less, so these young warriors can use it first.
Gu Yan replied, "My wife is really good."
Zhao Shuyi's eyes crinkled into a smile. "My man is good too."
These words made Gu Yan extremely happy, and he could hardly suppress the smile on his face.
Zhao Shuyi couldn't help but laugh; he was too easy to coax.
"Oh my, how can you be so kind?"
"We're outside, stop fooling around."
Zhao Shuyi nodded, "I understand, I understand. Deputy Regiment Commander Gu cares about his reputation outside. Let's talk about it when we get back. Don't laugh, be serious."
"Wife." Gu Yan looked at Zhao Shuyi with a hint of resentment.
Only his wife would dare to laugh at him like that.
Zhao Shuyi looked completely innocent. "I didn't say anything. I wouldn't dare to mess with you. I'm afraid you'll punish me."
Gu Yan really couldn't do anything about her.
After the two returned, Zhao Shuyi quickly wrote out a prescription and asked Gu Yan to pick up the medicine, and also to deliver the previous medicine to the young soldiers.
While he went to get his medicine, Zhao Shuyi prepared the ingredients for lunch.
If Gu Yan were here, he probably wouldn't have let her do it.
Gu Yan was incredibly fast. Zhao Shuyi had barely finished preparing the dishes when he returned. Upon seeing the dishes she had prepared, Gu Yan simply gave her a deep look without saying anything, clearly somewhat angry.
Zhao Shuyi glanced at the things he brought back; besides medicine, he had also bought her some pastries.
Since becoming pregnant, Zhao Shuyi has been particularly fond of mung bean cakes, and Gu Yan buys them for her every few days.
Zhao Shuyi put her things down and went up to hug Gu Yan.
"Gu Yan, why are you so good to me? I'm so happy to marry you, and I'm so happy to have you as my baby."
She touched her belly, looking proud of herself and her baby.
How could Gu Yan possibly get angry with her like this?
"Don't try to fool me. I told you not to do any work, but why do you always find things to do for yourself?"
"The baby said he/she wanted to move around a bit."
Gu Yan had always been helpless against Zhao Shuyi before, but now that he had a perfect excuse, he was even more helpless against her.
Then Zhao Shuyi said, "Don't be angry. I'll let you kiss me if you want."
Gu Yan took her hand and pulled her into the house, locking the door before they went inside, as if he were facing a formidable enemy.
Zhao Shuyi couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"It's just a kiss, why are you making such a big deal out of it? Should we burn incense and take a bath?"
As soon as she finished speaking, her pair of red lips were captured and sucked by the other person, and soon Zhao Shuyi was kissed into a state of ecstasy.
When she came out of the house again, the person who was fuming was Zhao Shuyi.
"That's too barbaric. I don't like barbaric people. I prefer gentle ones."
"What do you like?" Gu Yan's tone was dangerous.
Zhao Shuyi chickened out. She didn't want to be unable to eat any chili peppers, so she could only say, with a wronged expression, "I like Gu Yan."
Gu Yan's lips curled up again as she teased him.
"Hurry up and cook, don't dawdle," Zhao Shuyi ordered. Gu Yan quickly complied, not wanting his wife and child to go hungry.
The two ate lunch early, and only after finishing did they deliver it to Zhang Yue's place.
Upon seeing the delicious food, Zhang Yue immediately tried to get out of bed, but was stopped by Zhao Shuyi and He Xu, who wouldn't let her move.
"How can I eat in bed? I'll make a mess everywhere. I want to get down and eat."
She started to act cute and affectionate.
People always crave special treatment from those they are close to.
He Xu said, "I'll feed you."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yue reluctantly agreed.
Zhao Shuyi watched from the side, feeling that her presence seemed somewhat superfluous. So she said goodbye and left.
"I'm going to the hospital later, so I won't be able to come see you for now. You can go to the hospital for a thorough check-up tomorrow or the day after you've had some rest. I think there's nothing wrong, but you should still be careful."
"Okay, you go ahead with your work. Thank you, Sister Shuyi."
"Don't be shy, take good care of my godson and godson."
The two had agreed to become godparents early on, and since Zhang Yue was always thinking about the child in her belly, Zhao Shuyi certainly wouldn't let her baby go either.
These words amused Zhang Yue. "Don't worry, I'll definitely take good care of you. You should also take good care of my godson and godson."
The two men were speechless as they listened to their words, but at the same time, they felt very happy.
They both have beloved wives and are about to have their own children.
Zhao Shuyi and Gu Yan were not in a hurry to go back to the hospital.
After the ointment was prepared, the two of them slowly headed towards the hospital.
After having children, the couple will generally allow ample time for everything they do to ensure they don't rush and are less likely to make mistakes.
On the way, Gu Yan mentioned Tsai Ming-liang.
“I’m planning to visit him during my two-day holiday and bring him some things.”
They had previously agreed to see Tsai Ming-liang frequently, but plans really do not always go as expected, and the two of them were suddenly transferred to Kunming.
Xiao Liang used to rely on Gu Yan so much and was also good to Zhao Shuyi, so he must be sad.
Although they both knew that Xia Mulan and her husband would definitely treat the child well and explain things clearly to the child, they couldn't just abandon the child like that.
“Let’s go back a day early. I’ll go with you. I also prepared a gift for him.”
Gu Yan looked at her stomach, feeling uneasy.
“I can go by myself. Xiao Liang will understand. You can go see him later.”
Zhao Shuyi: "I want to go."
In the end, Gu Yan agreed.
After they returned to the hospital, Zhao Shuyi went to visit Zhu Yao again.
Feng Jun's health had visibly improved, and Zhao Shuyi was certain it was related to the spiritual spring water she had given him.
However, when Zhao Shuyi arrived, the couple did not look very happy.
"What's wrong? Is something bothering you?"
Zhao Shuyi stepped forward to take Feng Jun's pulse. The man did not resist and let Zhao Shuyi do as she pleased, but his face was very long.
He wasn't like this when he first met Zhao Shuyi; he was very enthusiastic.
Zhao Shuyi was a little confused. She glanced at Zhu Yao again, who was also clearly unhappy.
Why are these two arguing at this time?
Zhao Shuyi originally didn't know how to bring up the matter of Tuanjie Village with them, but now she could take advantage of it.
"Did you know what happened in Tuanjie Village yesterday?"
Upon hearing this, both of them turned to look at him.
"It seems you don't know yet, but a huge fire broke out in Tuanjie Village yesterday, burning down half of the mountain."
The two men's expressions changed abruptly, clearly realizing the seriousness of the situation. With something happening in the village, as the village head, Feng's father would certainly bear some responsibility.
"Dr. Zhao, please tell us in detail what happened." Zhu Yao glanced at Feng Jun beside her, clearly too lazy to bother with him.
Zhao Shuyi was somewhat surprised; it seemed that the conflict was quite significant.
“I told you, don’t rush, especially you, your body can’t take any more stress.”
Upon hearing Zhao Shuyi's words, not only Feng Jun became anxious, but Zhu Yao also became visibly anxious. She frantically gave Zhao Shuyi meaningful glances, clearly hoping that Zhao Shuyi wouldn't say anything too serious and harm Feng Jun's health.
Seeing this, Zhao Shuyi understood that it wasn't a particularly serious conflict, which was good.
If the couple were to have another argument at this point, Feng Jun's health would be in serious trouble.
Moreover, the two of them clearly had a good relationship, so Zhu Yao must have felt terrible after arguing with him.
"Someone threw a cigarette butt on the mountain, but it was because of a conflict with someone. Fortunately, no one was hurt, so you don't need to worry too much."
Hearing this, both of them breathed a sigh of relief, but it was clear they couldn't completely believe Zhao Shuyi's words. They would definitely continue to inquire later.
Zhao Shuyi didn't intend to hide it from them. There was no point in hiding it, and it was impossible to hide it anyway. She just wanted to test what was going on between the two of them.
"Is there any water? I'll go get some for you."
As she spoke, Zhao Shuyi picked up their water bottle and was about to leave the ward for the water room when Zhu Yao quickly followed her.
"Dr. Zhao, let me do it. You're pregnant, so please don't do this kind of work. Be careful, the floor is slippery."
The two went out together, and only then did Zhao Shuyi inquire about the situation.
"Although Comrade Feng Jun's condition is not serious, it's best not to have too many emotional fluctuations. Have you encountered any difficulties? Is there anything I can help you with?"
Hearing this, Zhu Yao suddenly realized that Zhao Shuyi's story about Tuanjie Village in the ward was just to prevent Feng Jun from having such a strong emotional reaction. Zhu Yao was deeply moved.
“He did it all for me. He heard that he could no longer have children and wanted me to divorce him.”
Zhao Shuyi wondered what it was all about, but it turned out to be this. He could guess what it was about without even saying it; the nurse had probably accidentally let it slip.
"Who said that? Did Director Kong say it?"
"No, Dr. Zhao, do you mean he's alright?"
"It's impossible for someone who suffered such serious injuries to be completely unharmed,"
Seeing her eyes lower, Zhao Shuyi said again, "It's just a little bit of an effect, it won't really make you unable to have children. And didn't I say I would help you get better? I will definitely keep my word. As long as you listen to me and take the treatment seriously, you will definitely be about 70-80% better, and it won't affect your normal life."
"Really? Thank you, Dr. Zhao. That's wonderful. You have no idea how stubborn he is. He almost kicked me out of the house."
Although she said that, she was clearly not really angry, because she knew that Feng Jun was also thinking of her. Two people who love each other deeply are prone to getting stuck on these kinds of things.
Taking the opportunity, Zhao Shuyi added some spiritual spring water to their kettles before saying, "Go back and talk to him. The most important thing now is to take good care of your health. There are many things to do in your village, and he still has to go back to support his family."
Hearing this, Zhu Yao recalled the family situation the woman had described and felt a pang of worry.
"Dr. Zhao, is it really true that the fire you mentioned won't have much of an impact?"
“I’m not entirely sure about this either, but since it wasn’t done by your family, I don’t think it will have a big impact. At most, you might get criticized or your father-in-law might not be able to be the brigade leader. Will that have a big impact on you?”
If she could help, Zhao Shuyi would still like to lend a hand.
In this world, everyone has a hard time, and this family is clearly a good family.
If a good person can sit in the position of brigade leader, then the whole brigade will have a better life.
Sure enough, Zhu Yao said, "It's not that important, but if the captain falls into the hands of certain people, everyone's life might become difficult."
I was thinking the same thing as her.
Zhao Shuyi decided to go back and ask Gu Yan if she could help them, but she didn't say much here, in case it didn't work and she gave others hope for nothing.
Besides, there's no need to talk about this.
"You should take good care of Feng Jun's health first. We can think about these things after he recovers. Given his current condition, even if you try to help, you probably won't be able to do much. In short, his life, safety, and health should be the top priority, right?"
"Dr. Zhao is right, that makes sense. Thank you, Dr. Zhao."
"You're welcome. You go ahead and get back to work. I'll head back now."
After they parted ways, Zhao Shuyi returned to her office, where Gu Yan was waiting for her.
Since arriving in Chuncheng, Gu Yan has been much more free than before. Zhao Shuyi often sees him. However, it's a good thing that he's free, as it means that nothing major has happened and there's no danger.
"I'm going home. Do you want to come back with me?"
Gu Yan raised an eyebrow at him. If he wasn't going back with her, where was he going? Was she up to her tricks again?
They've completely forgotten the pain once the wound has healed.
Zhao Shuyi immediately sensed something was wrong when she saw his eyes. Where were his eyes looking?
Gu Yan didn't know where he learned it, but he would find an excuse to kiss her, and every time he would kiss her until her lips were red and swollen, which was not comfortable for her at all.
Why are you glaring at me?
Gu Yan's eyes widened. "When did I glare at you?"
"Look at you now, glaring at me. Gu Yan, you're finished. How dare you glare at me? Today, you're punished by not being allowed to kiss me when you get home."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yan's face immediately turned red. He quickly stepped forward, grabbed her, and tried to cover her mouth.
"You're not allowed to say these things in public anymore."
Otherwise, when we get back, we'll make sure she can't get out of bed.
They're both seasoned foxes; how could Zhao Shuyi not know what wicked scheme he was plotting?
Zhao Shuyi was the first to walk out of the office. "If you don't listen to me, you'll regret it."
That evening, despite Gu Yan's persistent pleading, Zhao Shuyi couldn't resist his advances and was not only kissed but also lost her hand.
Gu Yan is so wicked!
The next day, Zhang Yue indeed came to the hospital. After an examination, it was confirmed that she was pregnant, and already more than a month along, only a few days younger than Zhao Shuyi.
Zhang Yue came to the family compound from the hospital and asked Qiu Jiawen to take her pulse again.
"I see nothing wrong with your pulse, and the child is quite healthy. But please don't overwork yourself. Take some time off from work."
Zhang Yue exclaimed, "Comrade Qiu, your medical skills are amazing! You spotted my problem in no time. Everyone is telling me to take leave and not go to work, but it seems I really can't go to work now."
"I haven't even gotten to know the people in the publicity department here yet. Since I can't go to work, I guess I can't submit articles either, so I'll just have to stay home."
Zhao Shuyi advised her, "It's best not to rush into writing or drawing. Don't overwork yourself. You need to relax, not only physically but also mentally. Take a nap or chat with someone whenever you have free time. Don't do any dirty or strenuous work. Wait until you've settled down after three months."
Qiu Jiawen just said that her pulse looked okay, but compared to many pregnant women these days, and obviously she needed to be reassured first.
Qiu Jiawen couldn't possibly be unaware that she was showing signs of miscarriage. If she didn't take good care of herself, it would be very dangerous for both her and the baby.
"I understand. I want to come and play with you guys too. I'm so bored in the family compound."
"You can come and live with me," Qiu Jiawen invited her.
Qiu Jiawen quite liked Zhang Yue's personality and was willing to spend more time with her.
Zhang Yue's eyes lit up. "Is that okay? Wouldn't that be too much of a bother?"
That's what she said, but judging from her posture, she immediately wanted to go back and pack her things.
"Aren't you going to take care of He Xu anymore?"
The two of them were so sweet and inseparable, how could they bear to part now?
Sure enough, Zhang Yue hesitated. "That's simple. Just have him pick me up and drop me off. It's not far."
"Can I, Brother Xu?"
Her brother Xu was helping to pick vegetables and overheard their conversation. He had glanced at her several times earlier, and only after hearing Zhang Yue's words did he feel visibly relieved.
"Okay, I'll pick you up. Be careful."
Zhang Yue was home alone, and he was a little worried about her.
And so, the number of people in their family compound became three again, including Dr. Tan, who was engrossed in his work.
Actually, Zhang Yue's visit to the family compound wasn't very fun. Zhao Shuyi had to go to work, and Qiu Jiawen's life was pretty much the same as going to work. She was either learning medical skills from Dr. Tan or studying medical skills by herself from books. In short, she was always learning.
Left with no other choice, Zhang Yue had to pick up their medical books to read whenever she had free time. Fortunately, Dr. Tan had a lot of medical books, many of which were simple and easy to understand, so Zhang Yue didn't have much trouble reading them. She read many medical books related to childcare, which corrected many of her misconceptions, and she found them quite useful.
Another change is in Dr. Hua.
Dr. Hua started bringing food for all three of them, instead of just Qiu Jiawen and Zhao Shuyi.
Of course, Dr. Tan's share couldn't be missed either, but the ingredients were different.
Zhang Yue exclaimed, "Dr. Hua is such a good man."
Zhao Shuyi chuckled, "For you, a man who gives you good food is a good man, and a woman who gives you good food is a good woman. Your standards are really simple and unadorned."
Zhang Yue didn't find anything wrong with it at all; on the contrary, she wholeheartedly agreed, saying, "Food is the most important thing for people, so there's absolutely nothing wrong with that."
That day, Zhao Shuyi was on her way to treat Zheng Jingcheng's illness when she suddenly encountered Zhu Yao, who was helping Feng Jun out for a walk, just as she arrived in front of the small building.
The two strolled leisurely along the road, looking serene and content.
Judging from the atmosphere between them, the previous conflict has obviously been resolved and their relationship is even better now.
"Dr. Zhao, are you on your way to treat a patient?"
She was holding some things in her hands, and it was obvious what she was going to do with them.
Zhao Shuyi didn't deny it. She was going there for treatment, and it was common knowledge that the building housed patients. They just didn't know who lived there.
The other party didn't ask any further questions, saying, "Dr. Zhao, you can go ahead and get busy. We'll take our time exploring."
"Don't turn around for too long, don't tire yourself out."
The two agreed and went their separate ways.
Zhao Shuyi quickly went up to the second floor and met Zheng Jingcheng.
At that time, Zheng Jingcheng appeared much more composed and reserved than before.
He's actually quite busy here, often having to look at a lot of materials, so I guess he's doing something very important.
But today he didn't do anything; he just sat there quietly waiting for Zhao Shuyi to come over.
Was the person you were talking to just now Zhu Yao?
Zhao Shuyi asked in surprise, "You know her?"
Upon closer reflection, it's not surprising. Zheng Jingcheng and Zhu Yi have a good relationship, so it's only natural that he knows Zhu Yi's sister.
"She is Zhu Yi's younger sister."
Zhao Shuyi: "I can tell, they look quite alike, but is there some misunderstanding between the sisters?"
Zheng Jingcheng shook his head. "I'm not too sure. I only know that her sister left home in a fit of pique. I didn't expect her to come to Yunnan Province and already be married?"
"Yes, that was her husband."
Zhu Yao already knew that Zhao Shuyi knew about her relationship with Zhu Yi. Since the other party didn't mention keeping it a secret, and she had such a good relationship with her husband, Zhao Shuyi felt there was no need to deliberately hide anything, so she just admitted it directly.
"Has something happened to them?"
Zhao Shuyi briefly explained the situation to him.
"If possible, could you please help take care of them? Are they short of money? Do you need me to help them with their medical expenses?"
After saying that, he added, "We grew up together and have a pretty good relationship, but it's not convenient for me to meet with them right now."
"If it's inconvenient to meet, then don't give it to them. I think their conditions are not bad either."
Zhao Shuyi didn't mention anything more, because she suddenly remembered that Zheng Jingcheng was the male lead, and male leads usually have some female confidantes. She hoped it wasn't such a melodramatic plot, because if they were to get in touch again, Zhao Shuyi would become the sinner.
The thought of this possibility sent a chill down Zhao Shuyi's spine. She knew she had to stay away from the male lead.
However, seeing that she was reluctant, Zheng Jingcheng didn't say anything more. He simply let Zhao Shuyi give him the acupuncture and then continued to stay in the ward.
Zhao Shuyi didn't take this small matter to heart, as it had little to do with her, and Zhu Yao was doing just fine.
With Gu Yan helping to put in a good word, the Tuanjie Village side didn't make things too difficult for Captain Feng.
After all, it wasn't his fault to begin with, so it wasn't against the rules for Gu Yan to bring it up. In a way, the other party did Zheng Jingcheng a favor, and their family's life in Tuanjie Village should be better in the future.
The troublemaker was naturally arrested. He not only set fire to the building, but also attempted to harm the people in the military compound. The military would not let him off the hook for that.
The group of people behind him were also frightened and shrank back, not daring to cause any more trouble, especially since Captain Feng had someone backing him up.
Because his family issues were resolved well, Feng Jun's inner turmoil was also resolved. He recovered better day by day and was discharged from the hospital after about half a month.
You'll need to come back for a follow-up appointment every two weeks. I'll assess your situation and adjust your treatment accordingly to improve your health. However, please don't rush back to work right away.
Zhao Shuyi instructed them, and they agreed readily, but whether they could keep their word was no longer her concern; she had already completed her task.
She didn't expect that Zhu Yao and the others would be so polite. They went back that day and came to the family compound to find her the next day. They brought her two hens, a duck, a basket of chicken and duck eggs, and two rabbits, filling a whole basket.
Even Zhang Yue and Qiu Jiawen were stunned; this was far too much.
“Take these things back. If I accept them, it would be against the rules. Don’t get me into trouble.”
Zhu Yao and Feng Yan came together, both of them very determined to get the things to Zhao Shuyi, which left Zhao Shuyi somewhat amused and exasperated.
"I'm serious, I really can't accept these things."
Actually, she was also a little tempted by the chicken, but she really couldn't bear to accept it. Although they had a fairly good relationship, what kind of situation would it be to accept their gifts?
Zhang Yue and Qiu Jiawen were clearly also tempted, but neither of them mentioned it. They knew their limits and understood that some things shouldn't be taken and some rules shouldn't be broken, because breaking them could lead to serious trouble.
They wouldn't do that themselves, let alone make the decision for Zhao Shuyi.
Zhao Shuyi thought for a moment and said, "Perfect timing. Jiawen, you haven't prepared any ingredients for your wedding yet, right? Why don't we use our money and coupons to exchange some things with them? These eggs are about right."
It's not good to make them carry things around, so we might as well just buy it. After all, Qiu Jiawen and the others will have to go and exchange it anyway.
Qiu Jiawen nodded, "Okay, let's switch then. Let's calculate how much the tickets cost, and I'll go get them."
Zhu Yao and the other girl were stunned. They hadn't expected Zhao Shuyi to send Qiu Jiawen to switch with them.
They were given to Zhao Shuyi, not to be exchanged for money, but since she was getting married, could they not exchange them for her?
"This is for Dr. Zhao. If Dr. Qiu wants to change it, we can go back and find one for you. Our village may not have much else, but we have quite a few people who raise chickens and ducks."
"No need, don't make a fuss. I only thought of replacing it for you so that you wouldn't have to do anything with me. If you bring it back, we'll cut off all ties."
Zhao Shuyi's attitude was very firm. Seeing her like this, the two of them could no longer insist, so they agreed. However, when exchanging money, they kept trying to lower the price, as if raising chickens and ducks did not require any cost.
In the end, the price was very cheap, but Zhao Shuyi brought them some sugar pills with spiritual spring water from inside the house.
"These are health pills I made myself. You can take them home, soak them in water, and drink them. They are good for patients and won't do any harm to ordinary people. Everyone can drink them."
The two women wanted to refuse, but Zhao Shuyi said sternly, "It's just some herbal medicine. Don't you want Feng Jun to get better?"
They knew this was just Zhao Shuyi's excuse. It was clearly agreed that Feng Jun only needed acupuncture and medicine, and there was no need for him to drink this health pill.
But seeing how determined Zhao Shuyi was, they had no choice but to accept it, thinking they could just send her some more mushrooms and vegetables later.
Comrade Zhao Shuyi certainly wouldn't accept meat, but surely she wouldn't refuse some inexpensive vegetables?
Now that they had delivered the goods, they were about to leave, but Zhao Shuyi wouldn't let them go.
"Since you're here, try my cooking. My skills are not something that just anyone can experience."
Before long, the enticing aroma of food wafted from Dr. Tan's kitchen, much to the dismay of the neighbors.
