He Lixuan was actually very lucky today.
He first found his parents early on, preventing the tragedy of them freezing to death in the snow.
Then, when he went back to find a vehicle, he ran into the Hu brothers, who were returning from delivering goods to the Corps.
You should know that the Hu brothers' brigade only delivers goods to the Production and Construction Corps once a month.
He Lixuan persuaded the two brothers to help carry his mother and take her to the hospital for the price of a pack of cigarettes.
He also promised to give him five yuan as a reward after he delivered the person.
With the help of the Hu brothers, the group finally arrived at the town hospital before it got completely dark.
The Hu brothers took their payment and left, abandoning the group at the hospital entrance.
He Lixuan, Shiyue, and He Siyi worked together to carry Fu Yunfang into the row of red brick houses.
"Is anyone here? Is anyone on duty? Help!" Shiyue shouted as she walked.
The sound was eerie in the corridor, illuminated only by a dim, low-wattage electric light.
Soon, two doctors on duty ran out.
They rushed over to help, assisting several people in carrying Fu Yunfang to the examination room, untying the ropes, and lifting her onto the bed.
Just as the two doctors were about to examine her and ask about her condition, one of the younger doctors suddenly pointed at He Siyi, who was wearing glasses, and asked, "Who are you? Where are you from?"
His tone was stern and full of vigilance.
Seeing his expression, Shiyue and the other two hadn't even reacted yet, but He Siyi already understood everything.
He immediately shouted, "Report! I'm not a bad element! I wasn't wearing a hat!"
The man still looked somewhat suspicious, but his tone softened: "What makes you say you're not a bad element? Weren't all the people at your cadre school sentenced before being sent down? What evidence do you have to prove you aren't?"
Hearing him say that, the older doctor next to him covered Fu Yunfang with the blanket that had been lifted.
He waved his hand at them and said, "We can't treat bad elements, or we'll be criticized and struggled against. You should leave now. Tonight we'll pretend we didn't see you and won't report it to the town."
This clearly implies that He Siyi and his wife are bad elements who sneaked out for medical treatment.
He Siyi was so anxious that he was about to go and get the medical certificate he had begged for, but Shiyue stopped him.
Shiyue said to the two doctors, "Comrades, you've misunderstood. We're not bad elements; we're just honest poor peasants, and we're not the same as bad elements."
As she spoke, she took out the certificate of supporting the army and cherishing the people, which had been personally issued to her by the commune secretary, from her bag, and also took out her record book of the monthly subsidies for military dependents.
She showed all of this to the two men: "We are good people, certified by the government!"
Upon seeing those certificates, the two doctors were filled with awe!
His attitude immediately underwent a major change.
The older doctor immediately began examining Fu Yunfang, while the younger one was still somewhat unsure. He asked again, "Judging from your outfits, you look like you came from a cadre school."
"We did come from the cadre school." This time, Shiyue didn't hide anything.
"But it wasn't just bad elements at the cadre school; there were also administrators!"
She introduced herself to the two men and then told them that she and He Lixuan were in a good relationship and were getting married.
Before getting married, you should always meet the groom's parents, so the two of them traveled a long way to meet his parents, but they never expected to encounter this kind of thing.
According to her description, He Siyi and his wife were portrayed as advanced individuals who voluntarily went to the countryside to support rural development.
They had no criminal record. They only decided to come here for re-education because they held leadership positions at school and their strong sense of responsibility made them distrustful of the labeled bad elements.
It also serves as a supervisory and monitoring tool.
In conclusion, Shiyue said, "Comrades, as a woman, I certainly can't be careless about such an important matter as marriage. If I hadn't investigated thoroughly, I wouldn't have married so easily, wouldn't you agree?"
My parents-in-law are truly good people, and they were even model citizens. Otherwise, the cadre school wouldn't have sent someone to take them to the hospital when they were sick.
You probably heard us, right? We came by mule cart.
The two of them believed what Shiyue had said before.
After all, without thoroughly investigating the situation, it's impossible for such a well-educated and upright young woman to marry just anyone.
Even if she were willing, her family and the team would never agree.
Moreover, the two of them had indeed heard the sound of a mule cart just now, and the tire tracks at the hospital entrance had not yet been completely covered by snow!
So the two doctors stopped asking questions and immediately began treatment.
They first took Fu Yunfang's temperature, which showed 37.9 degrees Celsius on the thermometer.
Upon seeing her temperature, both of them relaxed: "It's nothing, she just caught a cold and has a fever. I'll give you two fever-reducing tablets later, and if her fever spikes again, she can take one."
Hearing that after looking at it for so long, all they were willing to give her was one fever reducer, Shiyue was a little disappointed.
She asked somewhat reluctantly, "But my mother-in-law has been in a coma for a long time and hasn't woken up the whole way."
As she spoke, she looked towards He Siyi behind her.
He Siyi was still a little dazed at this moment.
After all, anyone would be stunned to be hit by Shi Yue's heavy punches in a row when they were completely in the dark!
He couldn't even quite remember how long he had sent his son to the countryside.
In just a few months, he actually found himself a wife?
She is still so eloquent, of impeccable lineage, and of considerable wealth, a wife whom their families simply cannot afford to marry.
He Siyi's mind was in a mess, and he only came to his senses when he felt Shiyue's gaze.
He immediately went over, lifted his wife's clothes and said, "Doctor, please take a look at my wife, she has a lot of blisters here."
He paused slightly before lifting his wife's clothes, remembering the white cotton paper pieces he had pasted on her clothes earlier.
Although He Si didn't know what it was, he knew that it must be something special and shouldn't be shown to others casually.
But just as he reached for his wife's cotton-padded coat, he suddenly discovered that all the cotton paper that had been pasted on his wife's underwear was gone!
There wasn't a single one, as if it had never been pasted at all before!
He subconsciously turned to look at Shiyue, only to see her shake her head slightly and give him a reassuring look.
He Siyi then remembered that Shiyue had squeezed next to his wife while they were on the mule cart, and that's when she must have removed the things.
He Si was relieved, then lifted his wife's undergarment: "Doctor, my wife has developed many blisters here..."
As he described his symptoms, the elderly doctor leaned closer to examine him more closely.
Then he suddenly gasped, and quickly took several steps back, shouting, "Snake coiled around the waist!"
