"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
Jiang Si looked curious, she always felt that there was something big going on with Teacher Hu.
Unexpectedly, she guessed it right.
"Come here quickly, I'll tell you something."
Hu Meili reached out and beckoned the two of them to her ear, whispering, "Do you know why Mei gave birth prematurely?"
Xu Mingjuan shook her head.
She has been busy packing things at home these two days and rarely even goes out.
Jiang Si's situation was very similar to hers.
While shaking her head, she looked at Guo Xian in surprise, "Sister-in-law, do you know?"
Hu Meili nodded and said, "Many colleagues came to our house to look after the children these past two days, so we chatted for a while when we had nothing to do."
"I heard from them that Mei accidentally ran into someone from the inspection team while shopping at the free market a few days ago."
"She was so scared that she didn't even dare to ask for the things she was given. She just ran away and accidentally fell."
"If she hadn't met a kindhearted person who took her to the county hospital, there might have been two deaths."
Jiang Si was stunned for a moment, "Is she in the county hospital?"
"right."
Xu Mingjuan was puzzled. "The county town is an hour's drive from here. She could just go to town to buy things. Why does she have to travel so far?"
"Yeah, I find it strange too."
Hu Meili said: "On the day she died, several sisters-in-law tried to persuade her not to run so far, but she didn't listen."
“But this is not the most magical part.”
"She was so happy when she asked for it, but she had a sullen face when she asked for it back."
"Since then, she has been scolding Mei at home every day."
Xu Mingjuan was somewhat speechless. "She doesn't act like a mother-in-law at all. No wonder Mei plotted against her."
Jiang Si's focus wasn't here. "What did she curse?"
Those words were too dirty, so Hu Meili automatically skipped them and just briefly explained the reason.
Of course, these words all came from Old Lady Xiang, and it is unknown whether she added any exaggeration.
Hu Meili said, "I heard that the place where Mei fell is a bit far from the county hospital. Plus, there are people from the inspection team investigating, so no one nearby dares to take her there."
"Xiaomei was in pain and afraid, so she promised to give the man 200 yuan as long as the child could be born safely."
"Two hundred yuan?" Jiang Si narrowed her eyes.
This amount of money is not a small sum, but under that situation, if she didn't go to the hospital, there would really be a high possibility of two deaths.
The most important thing is that if a military dependent is really caught by the inspection team.
Deputy Battalion Commander Xiang’s military career has come to an end.
Xu Mingjuan: "So it's because of this money that Old Lady Xiang scolds her every day at home?"
Hu Meili nodded. Everyone in the family compound knew how much the old lady valued money.
"But luckily, she gave birth to a son this time. Otherwise, the old lady would have to fight with them for this money..."
"Did she give birth to a son?" Jiang Si suddenly interrupted.
Hu Meili paused, "Yes...it's a son."
Otherwise, with the old lady's temper, how could she obediently pay the two hundred yuan?
Hearing this, Jiang Si was silent for a moment.
Dr. Jiang's expression was indeed not right that day, and he frowned the whole time.
Now that she thinks about it, the reason she frowned was probably just because she was confused about why Mei lied.
She obviously didn't tell her whether it was a boy or a girl.
But Mei said in front of the old lady that it was the doctor who told her all this.
In other words, she was just overthinking it.
Come to think of it, they wanted to replace a child in a military hospital without anyone noticing.
The probability of not being discovered by my mother-in-law's family is extremely small.
It is said that pregnancy makes a woman stupid for three years. Jiang Si said that this is true!
Just as Jiang Si was mocking herself for making a big mistake, Hu Meili looked over with an embarrassed look on her face.
