Chapter 114 What's the big garlic?
Wang Jinglian didn't expect that she could ignore her granddaughter like this in front of so many people. Outsiders were more anxious than her own grandmother.
"Aunt, the wound was very deep in autumn and it was soaked in sea water. If it gets infected, it will be a disaster!"
Someone nearby chimed in, "Yeah, it looks like she'll need stitches. If you can't move, let dad take her there in the fall. Soldiers have faster legs and feet."
Surrounded by a group of juniors who were "instructing" them, the old woman felt embarrassed. She tried to pull Qiu again, this time with greater force than before.
"What's wrong with you, little girl? Are you going to listen to me? Get down here!"
Autumn's thin shoulders kept shaking, especially when her grandmother approached, but she still got off her sister-in-law who was carrying her.
The little girl lowered her head, as if she didn't want anyone to see her tears, and she didn't even dare to cry out loud.
The thin figure stood there, with her injured leg half hanging, and the two sisters-in-law supported her and did not dare to let go.
Most people here have children, and some are about to have grandchildren. They cannot stand this kind of scene.
But what can they do?
The old lady is the eldest sister-in-law of Wu Libi. Although her husband is dead, Wu Weimin is said to be the only male in the Wu family. Because of this relationship, there are many things they cannot say to each other.
A slight anger rose in Lu Youyou's heart.
Others only know that deep wounds need stitches, and if they don't, they will just heal slower. If they really can't be persuaded, they shouldn't interfere in other people's family affairs.
But Lu Youyou knew very well that since he was scratched by the reefs in the autumn and had been soaked in the sea water, he must get a tetanus shot. Otherwise, he might die.
Judging from the old woman's attitude, let alone sending the girl to the hospital, she might just find some mercurochrome and leave the girl alone. The little girl might suffer an irreparable accident because of this negligence.
"You must go to the hospital for injections for autumn wounds. Tetanus can cause pulmonary embolism, respiratory failure and cardiac arrest. It is a fatal disease!"
Lu Youyou's voice was neither light nor heavy, but it was like a thunderclap. Even Qiu Qiu, who had been keeping his head down, looked over, his little face full of confusion and fear.
"Xiaolu, are you serious? Will you really die?" Wang Jinglian was no longer calm.
"Comrade Lu, you are kidding, is it so serious to be scratched by a stone?"
Everyone was asking the question at once. Most people didn't know what bacterial toxins could be lethal. Having two bottles of mercurochrome and gentian violet at home was considered quite a bit of medical knowledge.
Lu Youyou didn't want to recite the medical book here, so she could only emphasize once again the danger of tetanus. The injection must be given and one cannot take the risk of that one chance.
If they were normal parents, they would have rushed to the hospital with the child without saying a word. Unfortunately, the old woman was not normal, and even her whole family was not normal.
With a soldier's alertness, with so much noise at the door, even if Wu Weimin was exhausted as a pig the night before, he should have woken up by now!
But the people in the room were like dead, and there was no movement.
The old lady is still as strong as ever, but her son's job has been taken away by Gu Qingye. How can she be nice to Lu Youyou?
"What does a yellow-haired girl know? Stop trying to scare people. What happens in autumn is my Wu family's business. Why are you acting so arrogant here?" The old woman spat, "You rely on your husband being the captain to point fingers at other people's families. Don't you know what respecting the elderly means?!"
Now many people were silent. They were from the Wu family and were the captain. Who could tolerate such a drastic measure?
Only Wang Jinglian's lover was on the same level as Gu Qingye and could say a few words.
"Aunt, you can't say that. Comrade Lu is also thinking about the child. Since there is such a possibility, we can't delay it. We should send her to the hospital as soon as possible. If you can't make the decision, why don't you call Qiu Qiu's father out and I will talk to him?"
When old lady Wu Weimin was mentioned, her face turned even worse, and she also started to scold Wang Jinglian.
"Qiu Qiu's father is busy until midnight and doesn't go to bed until midnight. Isn't it a waste of time to call him now? I know he is an eyesore to some people. If you don't let him go home at night and find ways to wake him up before dawn, you will be proud of yourself if you tire him to death!"
The old woman said the last sentence while staring at Gu Qingye, afraid that others would not know who she was scolding.
Lu Youyou was amazed. This person seemed to have no scruples at all and just blatantly put his guesses on the table.
Li Bichang's widowed sister-in-law is not Li Bichang's mother, so where does she get this air of being the best in the world? She doesn't think her brother-in-law is the commander-in-chief of the army, does she? !
"Auntie, child abuse is a crime. I don't know if you're going to kill her, but not letting Qiu go to the hospital is disregarding human life. If something happens to her, you'll be the one who gets hurt."
The old lady had never heard anyone talk to her like this since she came to Dongzhou Island. Her granddaughter stopped being arrogant and staggered towards her. Only then did Lu Youyou see the slightly strange feet under her pants.
Although many people with bound feet had their feet untied after liberation, it was impossible for them to return to their original state as they were too old. This was the case with Old Mrs. Wu. Her feet were not as small as three-inch golden lotus feet, but they were still much smaller than those of normal people.
Although the sisters-in-law around were reluctant to get into conflict with the Wu family, they had no problem stopping the people. Seven or eight hands reached out, and Old Mrs. Wu could not move forward when she was three meters away from Lu Youyou.
Gu Qingye took Lu Youyou and retreated outside the crowd. He naturally would not argue with an old lady. All soldiers knew how serious tetanus was. Tetanus antitoxin was also a common medicine in the infirmary. For this kind of thing, they could just go directly to Wu Weimin.
If Wu Weimin had any dignity left, he would not refuse to take his child to see a doctor in public.
Gu Qingye strode to the door of the Wu family compound and knocked on the door three times: "Comrade Wu Weimin, please come out for a moment."
The scene suddenly became quiet, probably because they didn't expect him to call for help directly.
Old Mrs. Wu no longer cared about Lu Youyou and wanted to turn around and teach Gu Qingye a lesson.
She was right. The couple surnamed Gu just disliked her son. They were already hostile to him before he came. Now, only a few days later, they brought people to attack him.
And Qiu Tian, the unlucky star, was the cause of all the trouble!
When Old Mrs. Wu passed by, she pinched her granddaughter hard, and the little girl couldn't help but cry out in pain.
However, this ferocious face immediately changed when it saw Wu Weimin coming out. The fierce old face suddenly began to show kindness, which was not only abrupt but also a little scary.
It is hard to imagine that a mother in her sixties looks at her son in his thirties like a child. In comparison, her own granddaughter is not even as good as a blade of grass, and is not even as good as other people's children.
Wu Weimin had actually woken up a long time ago, but since his mother answered the door, he pretended not to hear it, turned over and continued to sleep.
But after a few minutes he heard Gu Qingye's voice, and Wu Weimin couldn't sleep anymore.
He didn't care about the quarrel between the old women, but when it came to Gu Qingye, the drowsiness he had just woken up instantly dissipated.
