Chapter 039 Old Fox
"Mrs. Liu, we feel bad for you because your son died, but that's no reason for you to come to our Kaoshan Village and arrest people without permission!"
"Comrade Ye Qing has already gone to the police station to accept the public security investigation. The police have released her. This shows that she was not the murderer who killed your son. She was also framed."
"The child has only been in the village for a week. She doesn't even recognize all the people in our village, let alone your son. Why would she kill your son?"
"You need to be reasonable and let the police station investigate the case thoroughly first. Otherwise, wouldn't this just create another wrongful case and make these neighbors and relatives who came with you to seek justice commit crimes as well?"
"Aren't you afraid that if you kill an innocent person by mistake, not only will you fail to avenge your son, but you will also be implicated? And ask the people behind you, are they willing to have a life on their hands?"
As soon as these words came out, the people behind Mrs. Liu began to hesitate.
Seeing that these relatives were swayed by Wu Yongbing's few casual words, Mrs. Liu was furious:
"Don't try to scare me here. Since your son is not dead, you can talk without any worries. But if you say that, does that mean my son died in vain?"
Wu Yongbing really tried to persuade her earnestly, but he could see that this old lady Liu was stubborn and not willing to listen to any advice at all. The real breakthrough point was the villagers in Chinson Valley behind her.
So Wu Yongbing directly shifted the negotiation target to the powerful relatives of the Liu family:
"Fellow villagers, you have seen that Mrs. Liu is willing to sacrifice her life for her son, but are you willing to do so?"
"Don't think that as long as you have a lot of people, no one can do anything to you even if you make a big fuss. I'm telling you the truth. Ye Qing and Ye Zhiqing are now the key talents to be cultivated by the higher-ups. If you really harm someone, not only will the people involved be sentenced to jail, but they will all have criminal records."
"In the future, if any of your descendants want to join the army or go to work in the city, forget it!"
"The investigation in the city is very strict now. If you want a good job, you have to check three generations of direct and collateral relatives. If any of your relatives has a criminal record, you will not pass the political review."
"That is to say, the only chance for your descendants to fly out of this mountain ravine may be ruined because of what you did today. Your descendants and future generations will have to be trapped in this mountain ravine like us and work as peasants."
"Are you willing to have such consequences?"
Now all the troublemakers looked at each other in bewilderment. The anger that had been incited by Mrs. Liu slowly faded away. After they calmed down and regained their rationality, they began to think about retreating.
Yes, as relatives of the Liu family, they would definitely support Mrs. Liu in seeking justice. As they are from the same production team and have the same surname, they do have some solidarity and cohesion.
But if revenge means sacrificing their own descendants, then no one can do it.
As soon as Mrs. Liu saw the reactions of these relatives, she knew that it would be difficult to capture Ye Qing today. Looking at Wu Yongbing, this troublemaker, Mrs. Liu was filled with hatred and held the hoe tightly in her hand, ready to make her move.
Just as Mrs. Liu was about to rush forward and hit Wu Yongbing on the head, a villager suddenly ran over from a distance, panting and shouting:
"Auntie Liu, stop hitting me. Your daughter-in-law fell down and her stomach broke. I'm afraid she's going to give birth prematurely. Go back and check on her!"
"What?"
Mrs. Liu was shocked at once. She didn't care about the trouble at all. She turned around and ran home like a madman.
My youngest son has just been harmed by someone, so nothing must happen to the baby in my daughter-in-law’s belly!
The ringleaders had all fled, leaving the Liu family's relatives leaderless. It was of course impossible for them to continue to mess around with the Kaoshantun gang. They looked at each other, and soon they all withdrew.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Qing was just about to thank the people who had just helped him, but at this moment, Wu Yongbing suddenly shouted:
"Ye girl, take your silver needle and follow me! Let's go to the Stinky Pine Groove!"
Ye Qing was stunned. Before he could say anything, other people in the village started to get anxious:
"No, Captain. The people from Choosonggou just came over to cause trouble, shouting and calling for Ye Zhiqing to be killed. I finally persuaded them to leave. It would have been fine if you didn't just hide from them, but why did you bring Ye Zhiqing to our door?"
"That's right, what are you going there for? The Liu family is a bunch of unreasonable people. Now they have identified Ye Zhiqing as the murderer. If you take Ye Zhiqing there, won't you just be waiting to be chopped by them?"
"But you must not go there. Those barbarians in Chousonggou are really brave enough to attack you. You will never be able to come back alive if you go there!"
The captain ignored these ignorant villagers and just looked at Ye Qing with burning eyes:
"Are you going?"
Ye Qing had a quick mind and understood the captain's intention in an instant.
Mrs. Liu's daughter-in-law gave birth prematurely, and now the situation is probably in chaos. If she encounters a difficult labor or something, the midwife in the village may not be able to handle it.
No matter how big the misunderstanding of the Liu family was before, if Ye Qing could come to their house now and help them without holding a grudge, even if it doesn't make peace, it could at least change the Liu family's impression of her. Maybe they would let go of their prejudices and think rationally, and not gather together to arrest people as before.
Ye Qing's eyes immediately lit up, and he nodded repeatedly to Captain Wu:
"go!"
As he spoke, Ye Qing went up to the ridge of the field, took his bag, and followed Wu Yongbing happily.
When we arrived at Liu's house in Chousonggou, before we even entered the yard, we heard Mrs. Liu crying in the yard.
"Damn Wang family, you are a bunch of heartless bastards. My son is gone, and you actually want to take the daughter back to remarry. You also want to abort my third son's child. You are too vicious. You will definitely be punished!"
"Retribution? I think your son is the one who is being punished. Have I ever had a good life since my daughter married into your family? Being beaten and scolded is commonplace, and you even force your daughter-in-law to do so much farm work to support your son!"
"Your son is a glutton, a whore, a gambler, and a man who has never done anything human. If people in this area knew your son was murdered, who wouldn't say he deserved it? If I weren't a relative of yours, I would have gone home to light some firecrackers to celebrate!"
The other old woman was not willing to be outdone, and joined Liu in cursing each other, stabbing her wherever it hurt. This made Liu so angry that she exploded on the spot, and she rushed up to slap the old woman in the face.
But there is a saying that goes, birds of a feather flock together. This Mrs. Liu is powerful, and her relative-in-law is not an easy person to get along with either. When they fight, they pull hair and dig eyes, and they are quick, accurate and ruthless. In short, the two of them soon joined forces to fight each other, and neither of them got the upper hand.
Ye Qing and Wu Yongbing did not rush in, but stood outside and observed the situation quietly.
Then I heard a lot of discussions in the crowd, and I roughly understood the grudge between the two women.
One of the two people fighting was Mrs. Liu, the daughter-in-law of Captain Chousonggouliu; the other was Mrs. Wang, the mother-in-law of Mrs. Liu's son Liu Kui.
Liu Kui was a lazy, gluttonous, and incompetent second-rate person. His reputation in the surrounding area was notorious, so no girl in the surrounding villages was willing to marry him.
Only the Wang family, after having four daughters, finally had a son. The family was extremely poor, and when the youngest son grew up, it was impossible for him to find a wife because of the two thatched huts at home.
So, the Wang family naturally came up with the idea of selling their daughters in exchange for dowry. Among the four daughters, two were married to the poorer and more remote mountain valley behind the mountain, and one was even sold directly to an old bachelor. When it came to the young daughter Wang Chunhua's turn, they asked around and finally set their sights on the Liu family in Chousonggou.
The Liu family is the captain of the Stinky Songgou, and it is said that they have connections with the town's Revolutionary Committee and the army farm. The family must be extremely wealthy. When the little girl gets married, as long as she provides a little supplement to help her parents' family, she can make the family happy. They all followed the trend, and it would be even more wonderful if the in-laws could help find a job for their younger son at the revolutionary committee in the town or at the army farm.
With such a wishful thinking in mind, the Wang family didn't care whether Liu Kui had a bad reputation or not. They resolutely married the young lady into the Liu family, and then began to count on this young lady to help her parents live a good life.
Unfortunately, no matter how good the Wang family's plan was, they still needed the cooperation of the Liu family. But since the Liu family could raise a scourge like Liu Kui, how could they be considered a good family? Since Wang Chunhua married into the Liu family, she was like walking into a pit of fire, and her life was truly worse than death.
Not only did her parents-in-law quarrel with her, her sisters-in-law also bullied her, and Liu Kui would beat and kick her at every turn. Not to mention letting her go to her parents' house to get food, she herself never had a day to sit at the table and eat her fill.
Moreover, after being married to Liu Kui for three years, it is said that Wang Chunhua had been pregnant three times before, and Liu Kui had abortions the first two times. The later pregnancy ended in miscarriage due to overwork, and the pregnancy ended soon after.
Because Wang Chunhua had never given birth to a child for the Liu family, the Liu family became even more critical of their young daughter-in-law. They disliked everything about her. Liu Kui even hung out outside every day and often didn't come home for several days.
Until this year, when Wang Chunhua finally got pregnant and was finally pregnant, the Liu family restrained themselves a little and stopped exploiting their young daughter-in-law without restraint. Liu Kui also calmed down a little. The whole family was waiting for Wang Chunhua to give birth to the child safely. Even the Wang family hoped that the young lady would give birth to a son, so that she could take charge of the Liu family and exercise power and domineering authority.
Who would have thought that when she was already eight months pregnant and the baby was about to be born, Liu Kui was actually killed!
Where can the Wang family sit still now? With Liu Kui gone, will this girl not be able to remain a widow in the future? Without the support of a man, what status would Wang Chunhua have in the Liu family? Then the thing that their family expects from their daughter to help them is definitely going to come to nothing?
The Wang family became more and more unwilling to accept this, so they all went to the Liu family, wanting to take their daughter home. As for the child in Wang Chunhua's belly, they would either induce labor directly or give the child to the Liu family to raise after birth. In any case, their daughter would never remain a widow for Liu Kui!
Wang Chunhua is only in her early twenties. If she takes good care of herself, she can still get married! At most, she can choose a husband's family that is a little further away. Anyway, as long as she can get the betrothal money, what does it matter if she marries a little further away?
The Wang family wanted to sell their daughter again, but Wang Chunhua was unwilling.
The Liu family's attitude towards her has improved in the past six months. Besides, Liu Kui, who beat and scolded her every day, is dead. As long as she gives birth to the child safely and behaves well in the Liu family as a submissive daughter-in-law, the Liu family will treat her better for the sake of the only grandson of the third branch.
But if I obey my parents' arrangements and marry someone in a more remote mountain valley, who knows what kind of life I would live? Maybe it would be even worse than living in the Liu family.
Wang Chunhua, who had finally made it through, was determined not to go back with the Wang family. As a result, during the tugging and pushing, Wang Chunhua, who was pregnant with a big belly, accidentally fell to the ground, and her amniotic fluid broke on the spot.
After listening to the villagers talking about the whole story, Ye Qing felt extremely heavy and complicated.
Was Wang Chunhua wrong? No, in fact, her thinking was reasonable. Neither her natal family nor her husband's family was a safe haven for her. But compared to her natal family, which was a cannibalistic den, she might be able to make a living in the Liu family without her husband by relying on her children.
In this era, the general environment is like this. If a woman does not get married, she will not be liked by her own family. If she gets married, she may not live well in her husband's family. Both sides are trying to suck her blood and eat her flesh. Most women can only compromise and seek a comfort zone between the two, and dare not expect more.
Many men in later generations envied the marriages of this era, saying that the women of this era were simple and honest, not as materialistic as those in later generations. But in fact, marriages of this era were completely based on women's endurance of humiliation and bearing heavy burdens. In the so-called happy marriages, the beneficiaries are all men, but as for women, how many of them can say that they are living a happy life?
Thinking of this, Ye Qing couldn't help but think of herself, and she became more determined that she would never just find a man to live with in this life. Otherwise, if she was schemed against by her mean in-laws, she would be like Wang Chunhua, and she would probably live a life worse than death.
She must develop her career well and work hard to earn enough for her retirement. When she is old and has money and leisure, she can travel around the world. As for men and love, if she meets the right one, everyone will be happy. If not, she will never force it.
Just as I was daydreaming, an old lady came running out of the house and shouted at the two in-laws who were fighting fiercely:
"Stop hitting me, Mrs. Liu. I can't deliver this baby! Hurry up and find someone to harness the bullock cart and take her to the commune health station. Your daughter-in-law is having a difficult labor and is bleeding a lot. If we don't rush to the hospital, both the adult and the child will die!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole yard fell silent. The two old women who were fighting each other no longer cared about fighting each other, and the people who were joining in the fun also stopped watching the show.
"Oh, this is really a sin! Wang Chunhua is so thin. How can she have the strength to give birth to a child after being made like this?"
"This woman's family is really confused. Liu Kui just passed away, and they came out to make trouble before his body was even cold. They even stabbed a pregnant woman to the ground. This is too unreliable!"
"She's bleeding heavily, right? This is too dangerous. Tie Shuanzi's wife died of a heavy hemorrhage. It's useless to go to the commune health station. The incompetent doctor in the commune can't even handle the midwife. It would be strange if he could do something!"
"It's not certain whether the baby will survive or not. Liu Kui's wife is already eight months pregnant, right? I'm afraid the baby won't survive after it's born. We'd better find a way to save the adult and stop wasting time here!"
The latter part of the conversation happened to be heard by Mrs. Liu, who immediately glared at the person who spoke, wishing she could rush up and tear the mouth of the villager who spoke.
Seeing that Mrs. Liu asked people to help harness the ox cart, it seemed that she was going to follow the midwife's instructions and send the baby to the health station. Ye Qing and Captain Wu, who were standing behind the crowd, looked at each other.
Wu Yongbing quickly nodded at Ye Qing, signaling her to seize the opportunity and take action.
Ye Qing nodded and shook the silver needle box in her hand to show that she was ready.
Wu Yongbing immediately shouted at the top of his voice:
"Mrs. Liu, it's useless to send a child with severe bleeding to the health center. The people at the health center won't treat it. If you really want to save the grandson in your daughter-in-law's belly, I've brought someone to help you. I guarantee that I can save the only child left by your son. What do you think?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked towards Wu Yongbing.
When Mrs. Liu saw Wu Yongbing and Ye Qing standing next to him, she was so angry that she immediately shouted:
"You damned murderer, you actually dared to come to my door? Wu Yongbing, you old man, you dare to come to my house and cause trouble at this time, I think you don't want to live anymore!"
While cursing, Mrs. Liu was about to confiscate the property.
Wu Yongbing felt helpless at this moment, like a scholar meeting a soldier, unable to explain his reasoning. He explained helplessly:
"Mrs. Liu, don't be so naive. I'm really here to help you. Although this Ye Zhiqing is young, he is a skilled doctor. Previously, the daughter of Gu Zhenxing's family in our village almost had a miscarriage after bleeding in the field. It was this Ye Zhiqing who helped to save her and successfully saved the baby."
"Just the day before yesterday, an educated youth in our village was gored by a wild boar, and his internal organs were ruptured. He was sent to the county hospital, but no doctor dared to treat him. It was this educated youth, Ye, who borrowed an operating room from the county hospital and performed the operation himself, saving the man successfully."
"If you don't believe me, just go and ask around. Even the director of the county hospital praised this child's medical skills."
"I've told you before that Ye Zhiqing is not the murderer of your son, but you didn't listen. Now I've brought her to you. Do you want to kill her and then be shot yourself, or let her deliver the baby for your daughter-in-law and preserve the last bloodline of your son? It's up to you!"
Mrs. Liu had the handle of the hoe in her hand, but was stunned by Wu Yongbing's words. Her expression changed and she stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.
At this moment, an old lady over there suddenly shouted in surprise:
"Hey, little girl, it's you!"
The villagers who were watching were all puzzled and curious when they heard this:
"Mrs. Zhou, do you know this female educated youth?"
The old lady slapped her thigh and said loudly, "Of course we know each other. My eldest grandson broke his arm a while ago. His elbow was swollen and they said it was a broken bone. I went to the commune health station to find that doctor and wanted him to see my grandson, but the doctor said he couldn't cure it and told me to take the child to the county for treatment!"
"I'm an old lady, how could I have been to the county hospital? I couldn't even recognize all the words on the road sign. I didn't expect to meet this kind girl outside the health station."
"This little girl said she could cure it. She took a few silver needles and inserted several needles into my grandson's arm. Then the child's hand was healed. It took only one night. The swelling and pain were gone. He was full of life. Even my daughter-in-law said it was miraculous. She asked me to find out where this female doctor is from. In the future, I will go to her for treatment when someone in my family is sick!"
"I didn't expect this girl was from Kaoshan Village next door."
The grandson of Zhou's sister-in-law broke his arm. Several folk remedies didn't work. The child's arm was swollen like a carrot, and he cried for his parents every day at home. All the villagers in Songgou knew about this. I heard yesterday that someone had fixed the wound. I didn't expect that it was this female educated youth named Ye who cured it.
Mrs. Liu's expression was no longer so angry. She stared at Ye Qing from head to toe, and seemed to still be skeptical about Ye Qing's medical skills.
"Let her in!"
Just when Mrs. Liu was still hesitating, her husband Liu Yongquan came back with his two sons, pulling a cart. On the cart was the body of her son Liu Kui.
The people around subconsciously made way to allow Liu Yongquan and Liu Kui to push the cart into the yard.
After Liu Yongquan entered the yard, he looked towards Ye Qing and Wu Yongbing with his bloodshot eyes. Finally, his gaze fell on Ye Qing. The corner of his eye twitched slightly, and his tone was a little stiff but still polite:
"Ye Qing, right? My daughter-in-law and the baby in her belly are now in your hands. As long as you can ensure the safe birth of the baby, I promise to discipline my wife and never let her harass you again!"
This is exactly what Ye Qing was waiting for.
She was not afraid of the Liu family or the villagers in Chousonggou, but she went to the countryside to join the production team, not to create hatred and make enemies with the locals.
If that old lady Liu hated her to the core and brought people to Kaoshantun to cause trouble for her every day, no matter how capable Ye Qing was, she would probably be annoyed to death if she was entangled with such a rogue. If she really fought with such a person, she might be accused of being cruel and ruthless. In short, no matter how she handled it, it would be wrong.
Therefore, Ye Qing must be hoping to make peace with the Liu family, and for everyone to shake hands and make peace in a friendly manner. There is no need to hate each other and make the relationship awkward.
Originally, there was really no grudge between her and the Liu family. If it weren't for the murderer behind the scenes, they would have been just strangers who had nothing to do with each other.
"Okay, I'll take care of the pregnant woman and the baby, but I have one request. When I go in to deliver the baby, no one can give me instructions. You need to do more work with Aunt Liu. She's a bit too picky and may not trust me!"
Ye Qing's words were quite blunt and rude, and Mrs. Liu's face immediately darkened and she was about to scold him again.
Over there, Liu Yongquan pulled Mrs. Liu aside and glared at his wife with a gloomy face:
"Be quiet, wait till the baby is born before you say anything! This is the third child's child, no matter what, it must be born safely, otherwise aren't you afraid that Kuizi will die with regrets and won't be able to rest in peace in the underworld?"
At this point, Liu Yong lowered his voice and uttered a few words to Mrs. Liu through gritted teeth:
"We'll have to settle all the accounts later. When the baby is born, I'll kick Wang Chunhua and the Wang family out. The murderer who killed our son won't have a good life!"
Mrs. Liu was startled. She looked up at her husband's scarlet and gloomy eyes and nodded in a daze.
Ye Qing was led into a private room by the eldest daughter-in-law of the Liu family. As soon as he entered, a strong smell of blood immediately filled the air.
On the shabby kang bed, a woman with a big belly but little flesh on her body was lying on the bed with a pale face and powerless.
Seeing Ye Qing coming in, the woman turned her head slightly and looked at Ye Qing, but her eyes were dull and it seemed that she had lost much of the will to live.
Ye Qing reached out his hand and felt the woman's wrist, then touched her belly, and he almost understood what was going on.
This is because the fall was too severe, causing partial detachment of the placenta, coupled with heavy bleeding during labor caused by weak uterine contractions. In this case, if the uterus is not stimulated to contract in time to deliver the baby as soon as possible, not only will the baby suffocate in the birth canal, but the adult will also lose too much blood and go into shock and die. The situation is indeed very dangerous.
The midwife probably knew that something was wrong, so she ran away after talking to Mrs. Liu, fearing that if someone died, the Liu family would blame her.
Ye Qing took out the silver needle and gestured to the eldest daughter-in-law of the Liu family:
"Could you please get me a pot of boiling water, scissors, sewing needles, and cotton thread?"
Normally, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Liu family was not very nice to her sister-in-law, but in this life-threatening situation, she put aside her prejudices and prepared whatever Ye Qing wanted without saying a word.
Ye Qing carefully scalded her silver needles, scissors, sewing needles and cotton thread with boiling water. After disinfecting them, she began to skillfully insert the silver needles into the acupuncture points of the woman's body one by one, like wielding a sword.
In a short while, Wang Chunhua was injected with more than twenty or thirty stitches from head to toe.
Realizing that Ye Qing was trying to save her, Wang Chunhua raised her hands with great effort and pleaded desperately to Ye Qing:
"Doctor, don't waste your energy to save me. I can't make it. But please, save my child. You must find a way to help me give birth to him!"
Ye Qing said helplessly:
"The child can be saved, and you will be fine too, don't worry. I have been practicing medicine for so many years, and Prince Yan has never taken a life from me. As long as you want to live, even the Black and White Impermanence can't do anything to you!"
"Think about it, you've finally made it through these years, and your husband won't beat or scold you anymore. Raise your child well, and you'll be able to live with your child and lead a comfortable life in the future."
"With good days right before your eyes, are you willing to give them up so easily?"
While twisting the needle and secretly inserting the healing power into the needle, Ye Qing began to encourage Wang Chunhua.
"A mother must be strong. Your child has finally come into this world. He hasn't even seen what the blue sky, white clouds, green mountains and clear waters look like. You can't let him come here in vain and get nothing, right?"
"You have to take good care of your child and watch him go to school, work, get married, and have children. What if he is a genius and can become a scientist, engineer, or even a general in the future? Are you willing to kill his chance of survival like this?"
"Besides, you are not afraid. If you just let go, will the child have a good life after it is born? Will the Liu family treat him well? He has no father and no mother. Who will support him if he is bullied?"
"Your parents-in-law are so old now. In a few years, they will have to rely on their son and daughter-in-law to take care of them. They won't be able to take care of your children at all. Who will take care of you then? Do you expect your two sisters-in-law to be kind?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Chunhua was stunned and could not speak for a long time.
Ye Qing sighed and patted the back of her hand:
"Don't lose heart. Just keep holding on. Fight for yourself and your child. Give both of you a chance to survive!"
Wang Chunhua's tears flowed down her cheeks. She raised her hand and wiped her face randomly. She nodded vigorously, with a fierce look in her eyes:
"Doctor, I will listen to you and fight for my reputation! I can do it!"
It was not known whether it was the effect of the silver needles that had just been inserted, or whether it was the effect of Ye Qing's words of comfort, but in just a short while, Wang Chunhua felt that the strength that had been lost in her body seemed to have returned, and her spirits had visibly improved.
After Ye Qing looked at Wang Chunhua's birth canal, he frowned.
Perhaps it was not yet time for delivery, so even though Wang Chunhua's placenta had partially fallen off and the amniotic fluid had almost dried up, the birth canal had not opened yet. Even though Ye Qing used silver needles to stimulate it, the effect was not ideal.
In this situation, it is very difficult to have a natural childbirth. If the mother is forced to have a natural childbirth, the baby will probably suffocate to death in the stomach before it can be born.
But a caesarean section is definitely not realistic. This delivery room is too simple and does not have the equipment to perform such a major operation.
Ye Qing looked at Wang Chunhua and said, "You have to be mentally prepared. If your birth can't open in five minutes, I won't wait any longer. I have to find a way to get the baby out. I may have to do a side incision on your perineum. I will try my best to numb your lower body with silver needles, but it will definitely hurt. You can bite something to bear it, okay?"
In fact, in modern obstetrics, episiotomy is often performed on women during childbirth. However, this is usually done when the woman is halfway through labor and has a giant baby that cannot be delivered.
At this time, because the mother's birth canal opening and uterine contractions have lasted too long, she is basically numb from the pain, so when the episiotomy is performed, even without anesthesia, she will not feel or react much.
But Wang Chunhua's situation was different. She had not experienced the process of contractions and birth canal dilation. At this time, several cuts were made on the perineum and the baby was pulled out. The pain was like scraping bones to heal wounds. It was unbearable for most people.
But there was nothing that could be done about it. Both the child and the mother were racing against time. Ye Qing had to make a decision at the critical moment, otherwise it would not be good for either the mother or the child if it was delayed for too long.
Wang Chunhua didn't understand what episiotomy was, but no matter how painful it was, could it be more painful than the beatings she had received from Liu Kui over the years? Even if it was more painful, she was risking her life for herself and her child. She had endured it for so many years, so why would she care about the pain for a little longer?
She nodded at Ye Qing and said with a firm look in her eyes:
"Doctor, there's no need to wait, just do it, I'm not afraid!"
In less than half an hour, the people waiting in the yard heard the crying of a baby coming from the house.
When Liu Yongquan and Mrs. Liu heard the sound, they couldn't wait to rush into the house, but they were blocked by the eldest daughter-in-law at the door.
A child wrapped in a worn blanket was brought out by the eldest daughter-in-law, and Mrs. Liu quickly took the child.
"Great! It's a boy. The third child will have an heir!"
As soon as Mrs. Liu pulled open the quilt and saw the baby's handle, she was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. Even Liu Yongquan's scarlet slanted eyes couldn't help but smile.
No one cared about Wang Chunhua in the house. The Wang family members who had been fighting with Liu's family had already run away to who knows where.
After Ye Qing finished sewing the last stitch and cut off the cotton thread, he checked Wang Chunhua's physical condition again to confirm that her heartbeat was stable and her blood pressure was normal. Only then did he remove the silver needles from Wang Chunhua's body one by one.
"It's a boy, and he's growing well. He's very healthy and lively, and there's nothing wrong with him. You can rest assured now. Take good care of yourself during the confinement period. I'll come back to remove your stitches in half a month."
After Ye Qing boiled the silver needle in boiling water, he put it back into the box and did not stay in the delivery room any longer.
When she left the house, all the villagers in the yard fell silent, and the aunts and uncles stared at her with surprised eyes.
Ye Qing looked at Liu Yongquan and Mrs. Liu:
"Both mother and child are safe, congratulations! Although the child was born prematurely, all organs in his body have matured. As long as he can eat and sleep, the little nutrition he absorbed in the mother's body will be replenished quickly."
Mrs. Liu's expression froze, and for a moment she didn't know whether she respected or hated Ye Qing.
Ye Qing didn't care what the other party thought of her. As long as they didn't come to Kaoshantun to cause trouble for her, it would be fine. Anyway, she didn't want to have anything to do with such people in the future.
"I have done what I promised, Captain Liu, and I hope you can keep your word, Uncle Wu, let's go!"
Having said that, Ye Qing walked out first. Wu Yongbing smiled and took a puff of the cigarette he was holding in his mouth, then followed slowly with his hands behind his back.
Just a few steps after walking out of Liu's house, they were surrounded by a large group of villagers from Chousonggou who caught up with them.
These villagers believed the Liu family's words before and actually thought that Liu Kui was killed by Ye Qing from Kaoshan Village. However, after the Zhou family lady recommended the tap water, and Ye Qing had just demonstrated with practical actions how high her medical skills were, these villagers immediately changed sides.
These villagers all thought that the Liu family must have made a mistake. Not only did Ye Qing smile at everyone he met, he was also willing to treat people for free. How could such a kind and innocent child be a murderer?
Moreover, how could such a skinny girl, who was only in her teens, kill their third son, Liu Kui, who was strong and muscular? Isn't this pure nonsense?
At this moment, everyone was enthusiastic and eager to stop Ye Qing, of course not for anything else, just to see Ye Qing for medical treatment.
Nowadays, everyone has a headache or a fever. For those who are a little older, it is inevitable to feel uncomfortable here and there. Everyone has different underlying diseases.
But there was no one to see a doctor in the village, and the health station in the commune was unreliable, so everyone could only grit their teeth and endure it. Only later did they realize how bitter and painful it was.
Now a young educated youth has come to Kaoshantun who can heal broken bones, perform surgery and deliver babies. In everyone's eyes, he is a real miracle doctor. Who wouldn't be excited?
The people in Chousonggou were eager to snatch this young educated youth from Kaoshantun, so that if anyone was sick, they could come to see this young educated youth. Those days would be wonderful just thinking about it.
But can Wu Yongbing give in?
The captain was a sly guy. As soon as he saw the group of people from Stinky Songgou surrounding them, he knew what they were going to do. Before anyone could say anything, he took the lead and pulled Ye Qing behind him like a mother hen protecting her cubs. He even stopped smoking the cigarette in his mouth, pulled it out, threw it on the ground and crushed it.
"Everyone, step back! The child is young and has never seen such a scene. If you all rush over like this, people who know you will know that you are here to treat someone's child, but those who don't will think that you want to fight or cause trouble!"
The villagers from Choonsonggou had indeed gone to Kaoshantun with their families to fight and kill, but now that Wu Yongbing was being treated so sinisterly, they all felt a little embarrassed.
"Well, Captain Wu, we were indeed wrong today. We didn't understand the situation clearly and were used as a tool. We apologize to Ye Zhiqing!"
"I'm sorry, Comrade Ye, you are a magnanimous person. Please don't take the mess we made today to heart!"
"Yes, you see, we are no longer acquainted with each other. In the future, our two production teams will often visit each other. If you need us in any way, just tell us. If we can help, we will definitely help without hesitation."
These villagers were flexible and able to judge the situation. When they saw that they would need help from Ye Qing in the future, they immediately became humble and fawning, fearing that Ye Qing would have a grudge against him because of what happened before.
Ye Qing didn't feel much about it, but Wu Yongbing was laughing and he almost floated up.
For so many years, the two brigades of Chousonggoutun and Kaoshantun have disliked each other and have been fighting for water, land, quota pigs, and wild game in the mountains. Every year, they would fight in groups because of conflicts over various resources, and it was common for them to start fights.
This was the first time that the people of Chousonggou bowed their heads to his Kaoshantun. Wu Yongbing felt like he was taking a sauna. He felt so comfortable and relaxed in his heart.
This made Wu Yongbing realize the importance of Ye Qing to their Kaoshantun even more. The Kaoshantun health station must be built as soon as possible. This was the most crucial step for Kaoshantun to become the undisputed leader of the Red Flag Commune!
"You can see a doctor, but you can't try to get close to us. We are not out of people in Kaoshantun. If the educated youth have any problems, we in Kaoshantun can solve them ourselves. There is no need for you people from Songgou to show us your courtesy!"
Captain Wu said something neither softly nor harshly.
If he hadn't been afraid that the people in Chousonggou might get jealous and do something behind his back before the application materials he submitted were reviewed and approved, he would have probably not been able to resist publicizing the fact that their village would soon have a health station.
But the dust had not settled yet, so Captain Wu had to hold it in for the time being.
However, seeing how enthusiastic the people of Chousonggou were towards Ye Qing, he knew that these people were knowledgeable and just wanted something. This showed that the medical conditions in the villages were worrying, and everyone was troubled by illness and pain, and they couldn't wait for a good doctor to improve their painful situation.
Wu Yongbing could already foresee how lively the health station would be once it was really built. In the future, their Kaoshan Village would become prosperous thanks to this health station. Maybe even the young people in the village would benefit from it and become popular in the blind date market!
Ye Qing finally understood.
Wu Yongbing, the old fox, brought her to the Liu family to deliver Wang Chunhua's baby. It was just a side job to resolve the grievances and misunderstandings with the Liu family. His real purpose was to use her as a living signboard to promote and advertise in Chousonggou!
Even midwives with decades of experience couldn't handle the problem, but she, an educated youth who went to the countryside, was able to successfully save the pregnant woman and the child. Once she showed her unique skill, her persuasiveness was strong. It was estimated that within a day, her reputation as a miracle doctor would spread from the Liu family to the entire Chousonggou, and gradually radiate to the entire Hongqi Commune!
After the health station is built, members from all over the country will have to go to Kaoshantun to seek medical treatment. As the director of the health station, she will be very busy. Just thinking about it, Ye Qing's eyes turn dark and she wants to quit!
Captain Wu is really good at calculating!
After sending away the people from Chousonggou, Wu Yongbing proudly took Ye Qing back to Kaoshantun. Unexpectedly, when they were halfway there, they saw Wu Cong coming towards them on a 28-inch bicycle.
"Finally we found the person. Dad, Ye Zhiqing, you two should hurry back. There are many people wearing red armbands in the town. They said they received a report and are here to check on you two!"
