After she finished speaking, she was about to close the door again. Yan Shuhua quickly reached out his hand to ask her not to close the door, and said in a pleading tone: "Auntie Cai, my mother fainted. I want Uncle Li to take my mother to the clinic. I really can't carry her."
If it were absolutely necessary, Yan Shuhua would never bother them. In the entire village, she believed that only Li Pingshu and Li Dagang, father and son, would help her.
Therefore, Yan Shuhua placed all his hopes on them father and son. Although he knew that this was quite selfish, he had no choice for the sake of his mother.
It’s not that Zhang Caixia doesn’t like to help others, but she has figured out Yan Shuhua’s mentality that they must help, so she is unwilling to do so and directly says, “I’m busy!”
Li Pingshu, who was reading in the study, heard Yan Shuhua's voice. Fearing that his wife couldn't handle it well, he quickly dressed and came out, asking, "Shuhua, what happened?"
Yan Shuhua was really anxious now. He had no idea what to do and spoke hurriedly.
"Uncle Li, my mother suddenly fainted. I suspected she had food poisoning, so I induced her to vomit. But she hasn't woken up yet, so I'm very scared. But I can't take her to the clinic by myself."
"I'll go with you." Li Pingshu said, and immediately went back to the house to put on his coat. Zhang Caixia grabbed him, and she was unhappy and yelled, "Hey! What does her business have to do with you?"
"Human lives are at stake! Can't you help?" Li Pingshu knew what kind of person Zhang Caixia was and knew that she was just like that, so he didn't want to bother with her. At this time, Li Dagang also hurried out, "Shuhua, I'll go too, I'll go too!"
Zhang Caixia looked at the father and son and wondered why they were possessed. They were so crazy and were so nice to Yan Shuhua. She couldn't stop them no matter how much she tried to persuade them. She was almost fainted from anger.
Li Pingshu pulled the bicycle, Li Dagang hurriedly went to carry Shen Hongmei over, Yan Shuhua hurriedly lent a hand, and Shen Hongmei's body was on Li Dagang's shoulders.
Xiao Jinchu saw that everyone was in a hurry and he couldn't help, feeling very guilty. Yan Shuhua locked the door before leaving and told Xiao Jinchu to go to bed first.
If he could stand up at this time, he could help Yan Shuhua, and she wouldn't have to run so far away alone to ask others for help so late at night.
Xiao Jinchu saw that his legs still couldn't walk, and felt so helpless. He stretched out his hand and hit them hard! "Ouch, ouch..." Shen Hongmei had woken up at this time. She just felt a severe stomachache, especially because Li Dagang kept running, and the ups and downs made it even more painful. "It hurts so much!"
"Mom, hold on a little longer!" This was the only way Yan Shuhua could comfort her.
Li Pingshu pulled over with a bicycle, Shen Hongmei sat on it, and then he took her to the clinic. It was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and Li Dagang knocked on the closed clinic door: "Doctor Zhou, Doctor Zhou!"
The doctor at the clinic was named Zhou Mingde, who was in his fifties. He wore a pair of glasses, had a bald head, and was dressed in a white robe. He was slightly plump and looked like a very friendly person. He got up quickly in the middle of the night, took a look, and after quickly dealing with the situation, he said that he was very grateful.
"Hongmei's situation was fortunate that you gave her first aid immediately, otherwise she would have been dead if she had been sent to us." Zhou Mingde said in a deep voice, "It was food poisoning. If something else had happened, it would have been too late."
Shen Hongmei was still moaning in pain. After all, she used to do hard labor, so a little pain was nothing to her. But the fact that she kept moaning in pain at this time showed how much pain it was. Zhou Mingde gave her some medicine, and the pain went away immediately. She was sweating profusely, gasping for breath, and shaking all over.
Seeing this, Yan Shuhua asked, "Doctor, do we need to have our stomach washed now?"
Because Zhou Mingde is fat, his slippers would rub against the floor when he walks, making a very loud rustling sound.
"This small clinic doesn't have the function of gastric lavage. If she needs it, she'll have to go to town. But I see she's vomited almost everything, so I'll just prescribe some medicine for her." Zhou Mingde has seen many cases of food poisoning.
"Thank you, doctor." Yan Shuhua thought that fortunately nothing happened. What if something happened? Li Pingshu came out in a hurry, still wearing slippers, and sat next to Yan Shuhua, patting her on the back, "It's okay, it's okay. You see, Doctor Zhou also said it's okay, so don't worry anymore."
After Shen Hongmei lay on the bed, she felt that the pain in her stomach had eased. She could finally speak properly: "Old Zhou, I don't feel much pain now. Can I go back first and don't prescribe medicine for me?"
"How can you do this? You have to take medicine. Besides, Hongmei, Shuhua saved your life!" Zhou Mingde said, "She gave you a lot of emetics, so you can save your life. Otherwise, you really can't be saved."
Shen Hongmei was really exhausted now. She didn't have any extra energy to listen to what he said. She just thought about the housework she had not done at home and she had to go back and do it.
As Zhou Mingde was talking to her, he suddenly thought of something very curious: "But it's strange, Shuhua, how can the melon seed induce vomiting?"
Seeing that he suddenly asked about himself, Yan Shuhua didn't know what to say for a moment. He touched his head and smiled: "I heard from a barefoot doctor that this thing can induce vomiting, so..."
"Shuhua also knows what herbs can cure what diseases." Seeing that she didn't know what to say, Li Pingshu interrupted and said, "I always felt that I couldn't sleep well these two days. Later, after drinking the herbs she gave me, I felt much better."
Yan Shuhua didn't want to let them know that he was selling herbs, but after hearing what he said, it seemed as if everything was clear.
"Really?" Doctor Zhou Mingde said, "That's incredible, incredible. There aren't many people as young as you who know about these herbs."
