Chapter 82 Selective Hearing Impairment
The situation in the military has been bad lately, causing widespread anxiety.
Zhang Weihong also felt nervous. She came to see Shen Zhixia every day, and after seeing her belly, she said curiously, "How come your belly is so big? I remember when I was pregnant, my belly wasn't this big. If the baby in your belly is very big, it will be difficult to give birth later."
Shen Zhixia was actually worried. Her belly wasn't big at first, but it suddenly grew bigger recently, even though she hadn't been eating much.
She touched her belly and said, "So I've already made an appointment at a hospital in the city, so it will be safer to give birth there."
Nowadays, many people give birth at home, simply by hiring a midwife, and it's all done naturally. However, it's extremely dangerous. Some women can give birth smoothly, but if the baby's position is incorrect, some women can't deliver naturally, resulting in dystocia, which can be life-threatening.
Even if you go to the hospital, it will basically be a natural birth, but hospitals are more professional and safer.
The clinic's conditions were inadequate, so Shen Zhixia eventually decided not to go there anymore, since it could only treat things like colds.
"You still want to go to the hospital? Do you know that hospitals are being criticized and denounced? Not to mention hospitals in the city, even clinics are about to close down. Those people outside do nothing but form an organization that parades around the streets every day, attacking and criticizing everything."
"There were two doctors in that clinic who were pelted with rotten eggs and now they don't dare to go there anymore. I heard that last time those two doctors were walking on the road, they were put in sacks and beaten up badly, so that clinic no longer exists. To be honest, I also think those two doctors were no good, but they didn't deserve to be treated like that."
Shen Zhixia frowned and said, "Is everything outside this serious now?"
She had actually heard some rumors, but because her belly was so big, she stayed home to recuperate, and had no idea that the situation outside was so terrifying.
Her previous understanding of this era came entirely from books.
Anyway, when the movement started, everyone was very radical, but it was only when it actually happened around her that she realized how cruel society was.
Zhang Weihong nodded: "Isn't that right? Wang Xiaojian hasn't had much to do lately. I originally wanted to send him to early childhood education, but now that the teachers have all been discouraged, I have no choice but to let him stay here. What kind of situation is this? Teachers are supposed to educate and nurture people, such a noble profession, how could they..."
Before she could finish speaking, Shen Zhixia covered her mouth: "Alright, keep your voice down. Walls have ears. You can't let outsiders hear what you're saying."
She remembered that this era was very strict; it wasn't an era of freedom of speech. If someone was caught saying something wrong, they would be criticized and denounced.
Zhang Weihong is always talking non-stop, that won't do.
“I’m just saying this to you; I won’t tell these things to anyone else,” Zhang Weihong said.
Shen Zhixia nodded and said, "Just remember to be careful with your words. You can't say anything carelessly at this time."
Zhang Weihong is just too talkative. She often doesn't watch what she says and is prone to saying hurtful things.
Zhang Weihong said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. It's you I'm worried about."
“Those people are like madmen. Even though you are just like us, I’m afraid they’ll use your identity as a pretext.”
Shen Zhixia said, "I'm not a capitalist anymore. Besides, you still have the banner awarded by the state. Nothing will happen to you."
Zhang Weihong nodded: "That's good."
Despite saying that, Shen Zhixia did not expect that she was still being targeted.
Although she was very pregnant and rarely went out, there were exceptions.
That day, she really craved a kind of candy that was only available at the convenience store. It was sour, almost to the point of being unbearably sour, so she went to the convenience store to buy some.
I had just bought the candy, paid for it, and was about to leave when I was surrounded by a bunch of people.
Those people stared at Shen Zhixia and said, "As expected, the daughters of capitalists look different from us. They are fair and tender, and it is obvious that they have exploited us a lot. If they hadn't exploited our money, how could they be raised so well? Nowadays, every household can't afford to eat candy, but you can buy so much candy at once."
Shen Zhixia never expected that she would be stopped in the family compound.
These people are too extreme.
Even if she was a capitalist's daughter, she didn't exploit them. The money she used to buy candy was her own money, plus the money Huo Chenzhou gave her. What did it have to do with them? But she knew that arguing about these things now was useless.
She could only say, "I am no longer a capitalist's daughter. The Shen family has long ceased to exist, didn't you know that? Moreover, my parents are already in jail, the Shen family mansion has been sold, and I have donated all the Shen family's money. In addition, I have captured enemy agents. Tell me, can you do this?"
The people in front of me all work nearby; some are factory workers, and some live nearby.
Some of them knew about Shen Zhixia, but most did not.
One of them, not bothering to listen to Shen Zhixia's explanation, shouted, "I don't understand what you're saying! In short, you're different from us. Capitalism like yours should all die! Down with capitalism!"
Everyone was influenced by him, and they shouted, "Down with capitalism! Down with capitalism!"
Shen Zhixia looked at the group of people in front of her. There were about fifteen or sixteen of them. Although the group was not very large, it would be too easy for them to deal with her, a woman, especially a pregnant woman.
She didn't run away, nor could she, because she was afraid that if she angered these people, they would hurt her.
However, at that moment, one of them was kicked to the ground. Everyone stopped talking, turned around immediately, and asked angrily, "Who is it?"
Huo Chenzhou walked over, not even glancing at the person he had kicked to the ground. He went over and shielded Shen Zhixia behind him, his eyes sharply fixed on the group of people: "What are you doing?"
The previously arrogant crowd suddenly looked at each other, and no one spoke up.
Huo Chenzhou was dressed in military uniform. He was tall and had a gun strapped to his shoulder, making him look like someone not to be trifled with. After all, they were just ordinary people and dared not mess with these officers.
The leader was pushed forward; he was a young man. He could only say, "Officer, this woman is a capitalist's daughter. People like her are a social cancer and should be overthrown."
As he spoke, the man launched into a long and detailed account of the harms caused by capitalists.
After he finished speaking, he stared at Huo Chenzhou.
Huo Chenzhou: "What did you just say?"
The person: "?"
Is this person... hard of hearing?
