"I have four daughters back home and two elderly people to support. I have to spend every penny wisely. I really have no other choice but to do this. Sister, please forgive me this time. If I lose this job, my husband will beat me to death.
Can't I just compensate you with the money I spent on the milk powder? No, I'll double it. Is ten yuan enough?
This is all I have on me right now, so take it for now. If it's not enough, I'll pay you back later. Please don't let me lose my job, I really can't lose it."
Chen Guizhi's tears and sobs silenced everyone present.
A scene is sketched out in their minds: a poor woman, married to a man who likes domestic violence, is beaten and scolded for the slightest dissatisfaction, and is treated as a reproductive machine, giving birth to daughters one after another, and then continuing to give birth until a son is born.
The women present were all mothers, so it was really hard not to be moved.
Although Li Qingyun repeatedly told herself to be hard-hearted, she felt a little defensive when she heard her say that she had four daughters at home. If something happened to the couple, what would happen to the four daughters? She felt a little reluctant, but reason prevailed in the end.
"I want to state my attitude and position for the last time: I absolutely will not accept such people continuing to take care of children.
The biggest concession I can make is that you leave the nursery and tell others that you're resigning because of family matters." Li Qingyun spoke righteously, sticking to her bottom line.
Once this matter gets out, not only she but also her husband's job will be in jeopardy. The Red Guards are watching covetously, and it would be strange if this typical person is not arrested.
The others understood her intentions and thought that Teacher Li was a truly open-minded person. Even though Chen Guizhi treated her like this, she was still willing to give her some respect.
But it was obvious that the real owner, Chen Guizhi, did not understand her good intentions and did not realize the seriousness of the matter at all. The only thing in her mind was that Li Qingyun still refused to let her stay.
After pleading several times but not getting the result she wanted, she became angry and embarrassed.
She stood up and grabbed Li Qingyun's shoulders, shaking her vigorously while saying, "I've begged you so much, and I've even compensated you with the milk powder, but why won't you let me go? You rich people are just mean-spirited."
Seeing this, everyone rushed forward to try to separate the two.
Li Qingyun felt dizzy after being shaken by her. There were many Chen Guizhis swaying in front of her. Then everything went black and she fell down.
Seeing her body slipping from her hands like a loach, Chen Guizhi screamed in fear: "I didn't touch her! It wasn't me!"
Director Niu stepped forward in panic and touched Li Qingyun's nose. He was relieved when he found that she was breathing.
The nursery was in chaos. The crying of the children, the fainted Teacher Li, and the unyielding Chen Guizhi all made Director Niu feel extremely anxious.
Teacher Li had originally agreed to give a lighter sentence, but now that the man had fainted after being knocked unconscious by Chen Guizhi, she had no way to suppress the matter. She could only report the matter immediately to her superiors and wait for their decision.
The most urgent task is to send Teacher Li to the military hospital first.
Ge Danniu from the Yuhong class came to look for Li Qingyun, and just happened to see several people carrying Li Qingyun to the hospital.
She said, "Put it down, I'll do it!"
A few people thought she was joking, but they didn't expect that this girl was very strong. She carried Li Qingyun on her back and ran to the hospital, so fast that the people behind her couldn't catch up.
When Li Qingyun woke up again, her nose was filled with the smell of disinfectant.
She opened her eyes with difficulty and saw a pair of red eyes staring at her without blinking, and a pair of rough big hands tightly holding her hands.
It was Gu Tingzhou who had been away from home for a long time.
Li Qingyun shook his big hand back: "When did you come back?"
"You just arrived. Are you still feeling uncomfortable? I'll go call a doctor." The man's eyes lit up instantly, and he gently helped her tuck her hair behind her ears.
Only then did Li Qingyun see that he was still carrying the bag he had brought with him when he went out, and he had forgotten to take it off.
This idiot!
In less than half a minute, Gu Tingzhou came in with a middle-aged man in a white coat.
"Doctor, my wife is awake, please take a look."
The doctor was no longer angry, but he was not angry. He examined Li Qingyun with a smile, took her pulse, and nodded.
"It's not a big problem. She's just depressed and overly worried. She's physically tired. Plus, she's still a little unstable in the first three months. Go back and give her more nutrition. If possible, give her more pig liver and offal to replenish her blood."
Gu Tingzhou looked confused. He understood the beginning and end of the sentence, but what did these three months mean?
"Doctor, what do you mean by three months? My wife has been sick for three months?" he asked nervously.
Li Qingyun reacted immediately after hearing what the doctor said.
She really hasn't had her period in the past two months. Because she was busy, she didn't pay much attention to this issue. Unexpectedly, it has been almost three months?
She touched her belly lightly.
It’s magical to think that a life has been quietly gestating, taking root, and taking shape inside.
The doctor standing by heard Gu Tingzhou's question and realized that this big fool didn't even know that he was going to be a father?
"Congratulations, you're going to be a father!"
Gu Tingzhou just stood there in a daze, not even noticing that the doctor had left.
Li Qingyun looked at his silly look and couldn't tell for a moment whether he was happy or unhappy.
Will he like this child? After all, he is already a father of two sons, so he should not have any expectations for children, right?
"Wife, are we really having a baby?" Gu Tingzhou sat down carefully, holding Li Qingyun's hand and placing it on her lower abdomen.
Although he loves Dabao and Erbao very much, he has to admit that when they were in his belly and were still being born, he was far away in the army and didn't have any special feelings for them.
This little guy made him experience the anticipation and anxiety of being a father for the first time.
The disbelief and ecstasy in his eyes couldn't be faked.
"That's great, that's great." He stood up and muttered to himself, walking around the room, not knowing what he was thinking.
"I have to send a telegram to my parents.
How about we let our mother come and take care of you? We'll give her a salary.
You are pregnant now and need someone to take care of the baby. Someone also needs to take care of the second baby. You can't take care of it all by yourself.
My job requires me to leave at any time, so it is inevitable that I cannot take care of my family. I am sorry for you, my dear.
If you like the work of the Red Education Class, continue to do it. If you don't like it, just stay at home. My current allowance can support our family. You don't have to always think about sharing my burden."
When Gu Tingzhou came over, he had already understood the whole story and knew that his wife was now working in the Yuhong class. He privately thought that Li Qingyun went out to work to help him share the family burden.
