Wang Fengjiao has a straightforward personality and doesn't like to gossip behind people's backs. She is quite popular in the family compound.
She didn't have much contact with Director Ding and they weren't very close, but there were no conflicts between them either.
Ding Lanying was knitting a scarf in the main room. She was a little surprised to see Wang Fengjiao coming over. "Hey, Fengjiao, how come you have time to come to my house today?"
Originally, Ding Lanying had a good impression of Wang Fengjiao, but after knowing that she had a good relationship with Yang Niannian, she didn't want to bother with Wang Fengjiao anymore.
However, when people come to my house, they will still say a few polite words.
Wang Fengjiao asked with a smile, "Director Ding, do you have any painkillers at home? Nian Nian is having her period and has a stomachache."
When she heard that it was Yang Niannian who had a stomachache, Ding Lanying said with disdain.
"I thought it was no big deal. Which woman doesn't feel pain during her period? Captain Lu's wife is so delicate. If she can't even bear this little pain, how is she going to have children in the future?"
Wang Fengjiao felt that Ding Lanying's words were unpleasant, and she curled her lips and said, "Everyone's body is different. Nian Nian's lips turned pale from the pain. She was 20 years old and just had her first period, so this may have something to do with it."
Knowing that Wang Fengjiao and Yang Niannian have a good relationship, Ding Lanying stopped talking.
"I don't have any painkillers at home. Just make her some brown sugar tea."
"I've drunk it, it's no use." Wang Fengjiao turned and walked out, "I'll go to the health center to buy her some painkillers."
Ding Lanying sent Wang Fengjiao to the gate of the fenced courtyard and said something with a hint of meaning.
"Captain Lu's parents have been here for just one day and she's already feeling unwell. I think there's a lot of water in this. Don't worry so much. Even if you really buy the painkillers, they may not appreciate your favor."
Ding Lanying didn't say explicitly that Yang Niannian was pretending, but every word she said hinted that Yang Niannian was pretending.
Wang Fengjiao knew that Ding Lanying had a grudge against Yang Niannian and would definitely not say anything nice, but she didn't expect her words to be so irritating.
If I had known earlier, I would not have come here and would have gone directly to the health center.
…
It was almost dinner time, but Yang Niannian still hadn't gotten up to cook, and Ma Xiuzhu looked unhappy.
"We have only been here for two days, and she is already acting like this, lying in bed and refusing to get up. This is to intimidate us. I will go and wake her up, and not indulge her bad habits."
"What are you doing?" Lu Guozhi held her back, "My daughter-in-law is not feeling well, just let her rest. We will be leaving tomorrow morning, so don't make things unpleasant."
Ma Xiuzhu was just about to lose her temper when she saw her son coming back.
She walked up to her son with a long face and complained.
"Shi Shen, it's not my job as a mother to stir up trouble, but you have to take good care of your wife. Your father and I have only been here for two days, and she just lay down on the bed and didn't even cook dinner. Is she waiting for me and your father to serve her and bring the meal to her? Go out and ask around, whose daughter-in-law is like this? Your father and I can still move now, so we don't need you to serve us. If we can't move anymore, will she just dig a hole with a shovel and bury us?"
Lu Guozhi glared at his wife and said, "Stop making such a fuss."
He didn't want his son and his wife to quarrel, "Shi Shen, go into the house and take a look. Your wife has a stomachache and feels uncomfortable."
Lu Shishen frowned but said nothing. He walked straight into the room. Seeing Yang Niannian lying on the bed curled up like a shrimp with pale lips, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Nian Nian."
Yang Niannian was drowsy. When she heard Lu Shishen's voice, she opened her eyes and looked at him, feeling very aggrieved.
"...Lu Shishen, my stomach hurts so badly...I might die."
She didn’t know if it was an hallucination due to the pain, but she felt that not only her stomach hurt, but her whole body seemed to hurt.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'll take you to the hospital." Lu Shishen lifted the blanket and picked up Yang Niannian directly.
Ma Xiuzhu followed into the room and just happened to hear Lu Shishen's words, she muttered.
"Why send her to a hospital? It's just a small matter. We are all from the countryside, why are you so delicate? When I was about to give birth to you, I was still working in the fields..."
Lu Shishen said nothing. He carried Yang Niannian, walked around her, and strode out of the house.
Ma Xiuzhu wanted to chase after him to stop him, but Lu Guozhi reached out and grabbed her.
"Didn't you see that my daughter-in-law's face is pale? If someone dies, my son's future will be ruined."
Upon hearing that it would affect his son's future, Ma Xiuzhu calmed down.
Lu Shishen carried Yang Niannian to the gate of Zhou Bingxing's courtyard and called him to go to the army and drive the jeep out.
Zhou Bingxing was looking for a wife at home. When he heard that Yang Niannian was not feeling well, he rushed to the army, faster than a rabbit.
Lu Shishen carried Yang Niannian to the gate of the family compound and happened to meet Wang Fengjiao who was coming back from buying medicine.
"Captain Lu, are you going to send Nian Nian to the hospital? I've got some painkillers. Do you want to give her some to relieve the pain first?"
Lu Shishen, "I'll send her to the hospital for a check-up first." If you take medicine without finding out the cause of your illness, the consequences will be serious if something goes wrong.
Wang Fengjiao also felt that Yang Niannian was in so much pain that it might not just be due to her period, and she hoped she didn't have any other illness, so she didn't stop her.
"Then you guys go quickly, Nian Nian has been in pain all afternoon."
In pain all afternoon?
Lu Shishen's eyes darkened, and he lowered his head and said to Yang Niannian, "Just bear with it a little longer, we'll be at the hospital soon."
Yang Niannian was embarrassed and buried her face in Lu Shishen's arms. "Actually, I don't need to go to the hospital. It should be okay to take some painkillers. I just have my period."
Lu Shishen's body stiffened. He lowered his head and stared at her pale face for a while, then said in a deep voice, "It's safer to go get a checkup."
He didn't know much about girls' affairs, but he knew that it was definitely not normal for her to be in so much pain.
Zhou Bingxing quickly instructed Li Fengyi to drive the car over and asked Li Fengyi to take the two of them to the town’s health center.
The hospital in the small town doesn’t have so many rules, and there is no need to register to see a doctor. Lu Shishen carried Yang Niannian directly into the department.
A female doctor in her forties was just about to get off work when she saw another patient coming in and looked unhappy.
"What are the symptoms?"
"My period has come. My stomach hurts." Lu Shishen said seriously.
The female doctor looked at Lu Shishen strangely, thinking that he was making a big deal out of nothing and his attitude was not very friendly.
"This isn't a serious illness. Just go home and take some painkillers. There's no need to come to the hospital."
Lu Shishen's face darkened and he reminded coldly, "You didn't examine her."
The female doctor was frightened by Lu Shishen's eyes. It was a hot summer day, but she felt cold all over.
Seeing Lu Shishen in a military uniform, she became more polite. "I can't do the examination if you keep holding her. Put her on the chair first."
Lu Shishen gently placed Yang Niannian on the chair. He didn't know if it was because of the heat or the pain, but Yang Niannian's clothes were soaked, her forehead was covered with sweat, and her face was pale. It was obvious that something was wrong.
This is not as simple as having menstrual pain.
"Where does your stomach hurt?"
