"No problem. Leave it to Dad."
Seeing the happy family together reminded Zhao Fang of the distressing things that had happened at home.
She has a vicious mother-in-law who abuses her granddaughter.
There are still many things to take care of at home.
They should go back too.
Zhao Fang walked up to Gu Sinian and hugged Ya Ya into her arms.
"Many thanks to Commander Gu and his wife for saving Yaya today."
"I want to ask if removing the pin from my child's belly button caused any damage to my child's body."
Su Ying didn't want to lie to Zhao Fang either. "You are also a doctor. The child is so young and has suffered inhumane treatment. How could such a big needle stay in the child's navel for more than ten days without causing damage?"
"Children have a strong ability to heal themselves. Although their internal organs have been damaged, the only way to help them recover is through slow and gradual recuperation."
"You're a doctor. You know better than I how to raise a child."
“It may take a long time to heal. Bring Yaya to me every few days, and I will take her pulse. It’s more effective than the machines in the hospital.”
"Thanks."
"No need for thanks. I hope you and your husband can keep my knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine a secret, since my family situation is a bit complicated, and I'm afraid people will bring up my status as a capitalist's daughter again."
Zhao Fang nodded. She wasn't ungrateful; the person had just saved her child's life, and it was only right that she keep it a secret.
Recently, many people have been arrested and sent to rural areas to work with traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. They may easily get into unnecessary trouble if they are not careful.
"We will. I will not reveal a single word about the child's medical treatment."
Su Ying spoke frankly, "To be honest, I didn't intend for anyone to know that I was skilled in medicine when I came to join the army, after all, these are turbulent times."
"I didn't want to get involved in this, but you treated me quite well at Ya Ya's one-month celebration and didn't join the others in ostracizing me."
"I also really like Yaya. She's a very cute and cheerful little girl. I could have saved her, but I couldn't choose not to. My conscience wouldn't allow it."
“I happened to be taking a walk today and overheard the women in the residential compound talking about your family, so I decided to visit you today.”
Zhao Fang never imagined that her kind words would save her daughter's life.
She knelt down, holding the child, and said, "I can't thank you enough. If you ever need anything, Sister Su, just let me know. If I can do it, I definitely won't hesitate."
"It's not that serious, get up quickly. If you keep kneeling before me like this, I'll shorten my lifespan."
Zhao Fang wasn't the type to make things difficult for others. Since Su Ying had said so, she stood up with Zhang Guoqing's help.
"I trust your medical skills. How can I raise my child to recover to his original state?"
"Wait a minute."
"ah?"
Su Ying, supported by her large pregnant belly, entered the room, followed closely by Gu Sinian. "Please wait a moment, my wife has something for you."
Zhao Fang held her child and waited in place. Zhang Guoqing felt really sorry for his daughter ever since he learned how much she had suffered.
"You're tired of holding him. Let me hold the baby."
Zhao Fang dodged his touch. "There's not a single good person in your Zhang family. Your mother said she would take good care of my daughter, but she treated my daughter like this. Does she want Ya Ya to die?"
"If it weren't for Su Meizi, would our Yaya even have a chance to survive?"
Zhang Guoqing lowered his head and remained silent. His mother wasn't that kind of vicious person; she must have been instigated by someone to cause this tragedy.
“My mother is not that kind of person. I don’t believe she would be so vicious as to kill her own granddaughter.”
Zhao Fang slapped Zhang Guoqing across the face, saying, "The facts are right in front of you, yet you're still protecting that vicious old hag."
“She put a pin into my daughter’s belly button and watched her cry and scream every day. She would hold her and try to comfort her. I still feel like throwing up when I think about her.”
“My mom… she must have some reason for it, she… she’s not that kind of person.”
"Get out! Stay away from me. If she ever dares to touch my daughter again, I'll never forgive her..."
Zhang Guoqing wanted to say something more, but Qin Fang stopped him, saying, "You're in the wrong in this matter. Your child has been abused like this, and you and your husband are both at work. She's the one taking care of the child, and there aren't any strangers in the family compound."
"Don't hurt your wife's feelings here based on your own guesses. She carried the child for ten months and gave birth to it. And someone pricked her with a needle like that."
"This must have been incredibly ruthless. The child's armpits and inner thighs are covered in needle marks. Choosing to insert needles into such private areas suggests that this was premeditated."
"This is an attempt to kill the child without anyone knowing. Your mother is definitely involved in this matter, so don't add fuel to the fire by making guesses and trying to exonerate someone."
"If you put a needle in your child's belly button, is it your mother? You can find out by asking her when you get back. Instead of saying a bunch of irrelevant things here and hurting your wife's feelings."
"Someone like you is lucky to have managed to get married, and you're at least good-looking."
"I……"
"Alright. Be quiet for a while. I'm furious just listening to you make excuses for your mother, let alone your wife."
At that moment, Zhao Fang burst into tears, crying uncontrollably. Ya Ya, hearing her mother's cries, also started to cry.
The living room was filled with the sounds of children and adults crying. Du Yunying went over and patted Zhao Fang on the back to comfort her.
"Don't cry, don't cry. Don't be sad. If you really can't stand it, get a divorce. It's really dangerous to live under the same roof with such a vicious mother-in-law."
"Sister-in-law, how could you... do this... Haven't you ever heard the saying, 'Better to tear down a temple than to break up a marriage'?"
Du Yunying wasn't buying it. She was a woman raised in a prominent family and could live without a man.
"Stop talking nonsense. If you don't handle this well, your wife definitely won't stay with you anymore."
"Your mother almost killed her daughter whom she was ten months pregnant with. This is an irreconcilable hatred."
Zhang Guoqing hadn't thought that far ahead; he never believed his mother would do something so heinous.
There must be something going on behind this.
Just as he was about to say something, Gu Sinian helped Su Ying back.
Su Ying walked up to Zhao Fang, who wiped away her tears and reminded her.
"Slow down, I'm not in a hurry. I'll wait for you no matter how long it takes."
Su Ying placed a bottle of pills in Zhao Fang's hand and instructed her, "This medicine was prepared by my grandmother. She is very skilled in medicine, so I'm giving it to you."
"These pills must be very expensive."
Su Ying didn't intend to hide it, "It is quite valuable, but Ya Ya and I are destined to meet. I happen to have some medicine to repair the internal organs."
"Give your child two pills every day, one in the morning and one at night. Crush the pills, mix them with water, and give them to your child. In less than half a month, your child will definitely become the chubby, lovable girl she used to be."
