The first few times, the child would cry his heart out if his belly was touched even slightly.
This time was different. As long as she was careful and tried not to touch her tummy, she wouldn't cry.
She is now very curious about what's inside her child's belly button and how the old witch abused her child when she couldn't see it.
With her hands clenched into fists, Zhao Fang's eyes were filled with hatred. "You old witch, how you treated my daughter, I'll treat you the same way..."
An eye for an eye, that's fair enough.
She was never a saint, nor was she the kind of person who could be magnanimous. She was always a petty and vindictive person...
She'll repay kindness with kindness, or else she'll fight to the death.
What a bastard! He dared to prick her with a needle when she was only forty days old.
When Su Ying saw that Zhao Fang had finished cleaning the child's clothes, she guessed that the child had been suffering too much recently, because no matter how Zhao Fang handled her, she did not wake up, but instead fell into a deep sleep, even blowing bubbles.
This scene amused everyone present, and Su Ying gently stroked the child's face with her fingers.
My heart aches with heartache.
This child is too thin.
He was so thin, like skin and bones, it was heartbreaking.
"When did this child lose weight?"
Zhao Fang answered honestly, "The day after the full moon celebration, the child started crying for no reason and wouldn't sleep at night, making the house very noisy."
"Yaya is very well-behaved. She is really well-behaved. From birth to her first month, she rarely cried. She would only groan when she was hungry, and cry when she was hungry or needed to poop. She is usually very well-behaved."
"Even when I accidentally got a fever, I didn't cry or make a fuss like I have these past ten days or so..."
"We, as parents, have been tormented for more than ten days and haven't had a good night's sleep."
"She cried and fussed until midnight last night, and we couldn't soothe her no matter what we did. Her voice became hoarse from crying, so my husband and I rushed her to find a military doctor."
"The answer they gave me today was... the child doesn't have long to live, so I..."
Zhang Guoqing stood aside, looking at his emaciated daughter, feeling a pang of sadness.
"She was very well-behaved when she was first born. When she learned to smile, she would smile at me every day. Whenever I held her, Yaya would smile at me."
“I’m exhausted every day after get off work, but as soon as I hug my daughter, all my fatigue disappears.”
“I took Yaya to see a pediatrician last night to prepare my husband and me, because our child may not have much time left.”
“I was distracted at work today and kept making mistakes. When Commander Gu heard about my family situation, he didn’t punish me.”
"They're willing to let me take my annual leave first, so I can take care of things at home first, and then we can talk about it."
Gu Sinian stood aside and patted his shoulder to comfort him, "My wife said she has a way to cure your daughter's condition, but the later treatment will still require the care of your parents."
Gu Sinian was a very intelligent person, and he made his own deductions based on the snippets of conversation from the crowd.
He won't say anything unnecessary.
This is the battlefield for young wives.
"Yes. I can treat your child's condition, but I can't guarantee whether he will have a second child."
"Is there still a possibility of recurrence?"
"Hmm. It all depends on how well your parents take care of the child, otherwise... his life will be in danger."
Zhao Fang roughly understood what Su Ying meant, "Please treat her first, so I can spare her a minute of suffering."
Parents everywhere share the same heart, and Su Ying didn't dawdle; she had just been making preparations.
"Alright. I've got everything ready. Someone come and help."
Zhao Fang stepped forward, "I'll do it."
Su Ying shook her head. "You can't do it."
“Why can’t I? I’ve had surgery, I can help.”
Su Ying wasn't doubting Zhao Fang's professionalism, but rather...
"I didn't want your help because you'll see something you shouldn't see later, and if you feel sorry for the child and fail to catch it, the child could be in danger."
"There's only one chance. If we miss this opportunity, the child will die."
“I don’t doubt your professionalism, but now is not the time to act impulsively.”
Zhao Fang obediently stepped aside; her daughter's life was at stake, and she dared not make a single move.
Su Ying looked up at everyone in the living room; no one was more suitable than Zhang Guoqing.
She wanted him to see how his inaction had allowed his own mother to hurt her daughter.
Gu Sinian wanted to step forward to help, but with just a glance from Su Ying, he obediently retreated to his position and dared not go forward again.
It seems the young wife has come up with a solution.
He stopped getting involved.
"Battalion Commander Zhang, come here."
Zhang Guoqing pointed to himself, "Me?"
"No doubt about it. It's you. Come up and help."
"oh oh."
Zhang Guoqing obediently stepped forward, and Su Ying looked at him and said, "Hold the child's limbs tightly, don't let her move, do you understand?"
Zhang Guoqing nodded, indicating that he understood. He pressed down on the child's limbs with both hands, perhaps using a little too much force, and the child pouted and cried, looking aggrieved.
Zhang Guoqing's heart was breaking. This was his precious daughter, and he... felt so heartbroken that he wanted to let go.
Su Ying glared at him fiercely, "What do you want to do? What I just told you wasn't an exaggeration. If you can't bear to part with the child, you'll regret it for the rest of your life."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Guoqing froze, refusing to look at his daughter who was crying her heart out, and whispered words of comfort.
"Auntie is treating Yaya. The pain will go away once she's better. Just bear with it a little longer..."
The child was very familiar with Zhang Guoqing's voice. After a few words of comfort, the child stopped crying so hard and started sobbing like a kitten.
Su Ying's eyes were full of sneer. You feel sorry for her now? The scene you're about to see will make your heart ache.
She did it on purpose. It's normal for the baby to move around, since it hurts. Zhao Fang was able to hold the baby. How could an adult not be able to hold a baby who is only forty days old?
She only wanted to punish Zhang Guoqing, to make him realize what kind of vicious old witch his mother was who wouldn't even spare a baby.
After all, you can see things more clearly when you get closer.
Gu Sinian saw everything Su Ying did, but he didn't make any move.
He always believed that his wife had a reason for everything she did, and he trusted her unconditionally.
"Hurry up," Su Ying said loudly on purpose.
Zhang Guoqing was heartbroken. He had a strong grip, and the child's limbs were as thin as a rake. The more he pressed down, the more frantically the child cried.
Zhao Fang really wanted to help, but as a doctor herself, she knew that she couldn't stand being disturbed during treatment; if things weren't handled properly, the child's life could be in danger.
She hardened her heart and refused to see the child, but she had no choice but to.
Su Ying placed a magnet on the child's stomach, and in a short while, a pin was sucked out.
