…
Yang Niannian sat next to Lu Shishen, he was holding the child, and Zhao Lanhua sat in the passenger seat.
There were no interior lights in the back seats of cars in those days, so she couldn't see Mi Dou's expression clearly, but she could occasionally hear Mi Dou's painful groans.
Hearing the voice, Yang Niannian felt both distressed for Mi Dou and relieved, as it at least proved that the child was still conscious.
The more she thought about it, the more strange it seemed to her. How could eating watermelon make a healthy child become like this?
After thinking for a while, she asked Zhao Lanhua, "Did Mi Dou get sick when he got home?"
Zhao Lanhua deliberately put on a bad face to hide her guilty conscience and asked sharply, "What else? Mi Dou said that you gave her the watermelon and she had a stomachache after eating it. If anything happens to her, it's your fault. Even if you are the wife of the regiment commander, you have to take responsibility."
Li Fengyi couldn't listen any more, "Why are you so ungrateful? My sister-in-law gave Midou watermelon. Isn't that kind? There are so many people who want to eat it but can't."
"I don't want this blessing, I want my daughter's life." Zhao Lanhua glared at Li Fengyi fiercely, "You just think my man is a company commander, not as high-ranking as Commander Lu, so you speak for them."
Li Fengyi felt that Zhao Lanhua was unreasonable and was about to retort, but Lu Shishen said in a deep voice, "Drive carefully."
Li Fengyi held back and said nothing, but couldn't help rolling his eyes at Zhao Lanhua.
The car arrived at the hospital quickly, and Lu Shishen carried Mi Dou directly into the hospital lobby. Under the bright light, Yang Niannian suddenly noticed that the left side of Mi Dou's face was red and there were fingerprints.
Her face hardened, "What's wrong with Midou's face?"
She had some guesses in her mind and wanted to lift up Mi Dou's clothes to take a look, but was stopped by Zhao Lanhua.
"What do you want to do?" Zhao Lanhua glared at Yang Niannian with a fierce look on her face.
At this time, the doctor on duty quickly came over, took the child from Lu Shishen's arms, and asked sternly, "What's wrong with the child? What are the symptoms?"
"For eating watermelon." Zhao Lanhua said without hesitation.
"You'd better tell the truth so that the doctor can treat you symptomatically." Lu Shishen has extraordinary detection ability. He discovered something unusual when he was at Zhao's house.
"It's for eating watermelon." Zhao Lanhua said with evasive eyes.
Yang Niannian glared at her and threatened, "If anything happens to Midou and it's related to you, you'll go to jail. Don't even think about trying to fool her. Even if you don't tell me, the doctor can find out the reason."
Zhao Lanhua originally wanted to remain stubborn, but when she heard that she was going to go to jail, she panicked and spoke with trembling lips.
"She, she was fighting with my son, and I accidentally hit her lightly, and she became like this. I didn't mean to do that, who knew she was so vulnerable."
This dead child was her family's revenge, causing her trouble everywhere.
When the doctor heard that the child was beaten, his face suddenly turned grim, "Where did you hit to cause this?"
"Hit, hit on the head." Zhao Lanhua said tremblingly.
"How ignorant! Can you just hit a child's head?" The doctor cursed and carried the child into the emergency room.
There were only a few doctors on duty at night, and only two nurses, so the staff was not enough.
A nurse suddenly remembered that Qu Zhengguo was accompanying Qu Xiangqian in the ward, so she called him over to help.
When Qu Zhengguo arrived at the door of the emergency room and saw Yang Niannian there, he was stunned for a moment, nodded at Yang Niannian as a greeting, and then went into the emergency room to help.
Yang Niannian felt guilty. My goodness, isn’t Qu Zhengguo an intern in andrology?
What are you doing here?
Lu Shishen looked at Yang Niannian in surprise, "Do you know him?"
Yang Niannian felt a little guilty, but pretended to be calm and explained, "I just met him this day. His uncle is Qu Xiangqian. He was hospitalized today because of heat stroke. I brought him here."
Lu Shishen had no suspicion and did not ask any further questions.
Zhao Lanhua felt guilty and the more she thought about it, the more scared she became. She secretly glanced at Lu Shishen and Yang Niannian, and her previous ferocious look was gone. She just cried and begged.
"Captain Lu, can you please keep this a secret and not tell anyone else? My husband would kill me if he knew I beat the child like this."
Zhao Lanhua's husband has always had a bad temper, especially since he recently encountered the situation of needing to be demobilized. If her husband does not win the third-class merit this time and comes back, there is a high probability that he will be among the candidates for demobilization.
If this incident happened again, they would really not be able to stay in this unit.
Yang Niannian glared at Zhao Lanhua and spoke before Lu Shishen.
"When you framed me, why didn't you think about what would happen if something happened to Mi Dou and I was accused of murder? Now you want us to keep it a secret for you. Are you asking us to keep it a secret? You're clearly asking us to take the blame. How dare you be so shameless?"
Zhao Lanhua was still scared at first, but when she heard what Yang Niannian said, she was instantly filled with anger. She was a person with a bad temper and no brains, otherwise she would not have beaten the child like this.
At this moment, he got excited and said, "If you hadn't given her the watermelon, would I have hit her? This girl is so mean. She eats all the watermelon by herself and doesn't even bring some back for her brother. Her brother knows she eats watermelon and keeps pestering me for it. Where can I get a big watermelon?"
"In the final analysis, isn't it because you gave her the watermelon? If you didn't give it to her, we would all be asleep in bed right now, so how could this happen? If anything really happens to Mi Dou, you'll be the culprit, and you've ruined our family."
Yang Niannian laughed angrily, "You are so unreasonable. You asked the child to go to my house in the middle of the night, didn't you just want her to ask me for watermelon? You took out your anger on the child because she ate the rice beans but didn't bring them back to you. You clearly favor boys over girls. Your son is dressed well, but your daughter is four or five years old, and you still let her wear open-crotch pants. Is there any mother like you?"
It was the first time that Lu Shishen saw Yang Niannian arguing with someone. He didn’t expect that she, who was thin and frail and looked like a child who had not grown up, could have such strong explosive power in an argument.
Anyway, the relationship had fallen out, but Zhao Lanhua refused to give in to Yang Niannian. She became more and more excited, waving her hands and wishing she could jump three feet high.
"What does it have to do with you what I wear for my daughter? Your family is well-off, you wear new clothes every day, and you rely on your good looks to find a capable man. If I had your ability to find a husband who can make money, would I have to beat my child for a watermelon?"
Lu Shishen was worried that Zhao Lanhua might get emotional and start violence, so he stood beside Yang Niannian silently. Just a glance from him coldly, and Zhao Lanhua's arrogance subsided by a lot.
Zhao Lanhua couldn't win over them, so she slapped her thigh and started to act like a rogue, "Oh my God, my man is not here, and you are here to bully us orphans and widows..."
"What are you arguing about in the hospital?"
A deep and penetrating voice suddenly sounded.
Several people looked in the direction of the voice and saw Li Fengyi, Chief Song, Political Commissar Zhang and others walking over. It was Chief Song who was speaking.
Seeing that Chief Song had shown up, Zhao Lanhua was so scared that her face turned pale, she rolled her eyes, and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Ding Lanying quickly ran over, held Zhao Lanhua's head and pinched her philtrum for a while but to no avail. She looked up at the old leader and others.
"Lanhua has fainted. She needs artificial respiration."
Yang Niannian secretly found it funny. She had clearly seen Zhao Lanhua’s fingers move just now, and it was obviously just fake. Who would faint and still have such rapid breathing?
Zhao Lanhua was obviously afraid of being blamed by Chief Song, so she pretended to faint on purpose. She was scared and her breathing became disordered and unstable.
Besides, it sounds too funny to use artificial respiration in the hospital.
Her eyes flashed, and she said crisply, "Director Ding, you work in a hospital and know first aid knowledge. You are the most suitable person to do this breathing."
Ding Lanying's expression froze, and she refuted sharply, "At my age, I don't have enough energy, how can I do artificial respiration?"
As she spoke, she looked at Chief Song, wanting him to assign someone to perform artificial respiration.
Li Fengyi was afraid of being called up, so he shrank behind the crowd and dared not say a word. He didn't want to give his first kiss to others, or he would have nightmares.
Commander Song misunderstood Ding Lanying's meaning and thought that she wanted him to perform artificial respiration, so he said with a gloomy face.
"Go get a doctor."
