Social Death Patient 007
Bai Jie Sui first went back to his own house next door to get a pulse pillow.
A middle-aged woman should usually be a talkative person. She repeatedly introduced her background to Bai Jiesui to show that she was not someone who could be easily fooled.
"You have to examine me carefully. If you do a good job, I'll introduce you to other patients. I know a lot of women, not just the women in our dance troupe, but I also have a lot of connections."
Her sister dance troupe lived up to everyone's expectations and all agreed with her: "You're right, we'll all come to see you next time."
Bai Jiesui didn't respond to her, but gestured to the middle-aged woman to put her hand on the pulse pillow.
She took the pulse very quickly, and in about a minute, she asked the middle-aged woman to change hands.
Then he withdrew his hand, indicating that he had finished taking the pulse, and asked the middle-aged woman to open her mouth to look at her tongue coating.
"Did you finish taking her pulse so quickly? Is she okay?" The sister dance troupe whispered to each other.
"I've never seen a doctor treated so quickly. Experienced Chinese doctors take pulses slowly, but she seems to be a half-baked doctor." The sister dance troupe curled their lips and shook their heads.
"After all, he is still too young and doesn't have much experience."
The sister dance troupe surrounded Bai Jiesui tightly in a circle. Grandpa Qi couldn't squeeze in and could only look at her from a distance through the sister dance troupe, with a hint of worry on his face.
The middle-aged woman wasn't particularly impressed by the free medical consultation she'd gotten. Without even a word of thanks, she casually asked, "How's it going? Did you find anything after taking my pulse?"
Bai Jiesui put away her pulse pillow, first looked around at the sister dance troupe, then her eyes fell on the middle-aged woman, and she smiled slightly.
None of the sister dance troupes understood what she was laughing at. They only heard her reply calmly, "You probably won't be able to compete in next month's dance competition."
Not only the middle-aged women disliked Bai Jiesui's words, but everyone in the sister dance troupe also disliked them.
Their sister dance troupe prepared for the dance for several months, selecting music, finding teachers to choreograph, borrowing professional dance studios everywhere, custom-making performance costumes, and arranging makeup. They finally squeezed into the final competition and competed on TV. In the end, they won the championship and became famous throughout the city.
"Little girl, don't say anything careless. Sister Chen is the lead dancer of our sister dance troupe. If she can't compete, doesn't that mean our troupe can't compete either?"
The middle-aged woman's face was filled with displeasure: "It would be unlucky for us to ask you to take my pulse. If you don't want to see it, I won't force you."
Bai Jiesui smiled dumbly and said, "Don't be impatient, Auntie. Wait until I finish my consultation and then you can see if what I said makes sense."
The middle-aged woman had a thousand complaints in her heart, but her curiosity aroused, so she couldn't help but listen to what Bai Jiesui said.
Bai Jiesui: "You've recently been experiencing loss of appetite, dizziness, drowsiness, chest tightness, back pain, and leg swelling. You've clearly felt more tired than before."
Before the middle-aged woman could say anything, her sister dancers started complaining: "We practice for seven or eight hours every day. Who wouldn't be tired?"
"Are you hot and tired from practicing dancing every day? It's the hottest time of the year, who has the appetite to eat?"
Middle-aged woman: "The problem you mentioned is the same for everyone. It's not a big deal. Why can't you go to the competition?"
Bai Jiesui: "This morning at four o'clock, you woke up with a pain in your lower abdomen. You went to the toilet but didn't have a normal bowel movement. Instead, you felt a dull pain in your stomach. You couldn't stand or sit comfortably. You were so upset that you didn't even eat two bites of breakfast."
The middle-aged woman looked slightly surprised, but her sister dance troupe was even more shocked than her. They hurriedly asked, "How did you know that?"
I guess the middle-aged woman has already communicated about her physical condition with her sister dance troupe.
Bai Jiesui: "An hour ago, you found yourself bleeding suddenly after five years of menopause."
The sister dance troupe was even more surprised: "You know this too?"
"Even Sister Chen knows that she's been in menopause for five years? This little girl seems to have some skills."
The middle-aged woman didn't think it was a big deal: "I haven't removed my IUD yet. Occasional bleeding is normal."
Bai Jiesui: "Your bleeding this time is not due to the IUD."
Middle-aged woman: "It's not because of the IUD or something else. You said you've been in menopause for five years."
Bai Jiesui: "You've been exercising too much recently, and your temper is quite irritable. You often get angry and irritate the embryo implanted in your uterus, which has caused uterine bleeding. This is also the cause of your lower back pain."
As soon as she finished speaking, the lively sister dance troupe fell into deathly silence.
The sister dance troupe looked at each other and opened their eyes wide with excitement. What did they hear?
An embryo implanted in the uterus?
The middle-aged woman seemed to be unresponsive and asked in a daze, "What did you say?"
Bai Jiesui curled her lips and smiled: "Congratulations, Auntie, you just had a pregnancy pulse!"
The sisters dance troupe are all women who have had childbirth experience. Now when I think back on the recent behavior of middle-aged women, it is indeed similar to the reaction during pregnancy.
After a moment of silence, the sister dance troupe became even more lively, like a pot of frying fish, and everyone looked at her belly.
"That's impossible. Sister Chen is already menopausal. How can she get pregnant after menopause?"
"Not only is she in menopause, but Sister Chen hasn't even had her IUD removed yet. There's no way she could be pregnant."
The sister dance troupe chatted about gossip, and Bai Jiesui even went out of her way to clear up their confusion.
"Auntie Chen's IUD was dislocated more than ten years ago and doesn't provide perfect birth control. Besides, the probability of pregnancy after menopause is indeed extremely small, but it's not completely impossible. Menopause is a sign of ovarian decline, not a complete loss of ovulatory function. Auntie Chen is lucky; it seems her ovaries haven't completely lost their function."
The sister dance troupe suddenly realized what was going on, and the discussion became even more lively.
"I can't believe it, Sister Chen is pregnant at the last minute. This is the first time I've heard of such a novelty."
"But that's not right. Didn't Sister Chen's husband go back to his hometown to take care of their hemiplegic father two years ago? Sister Chen is the only one at home, so how could she still be pregnant?"
"Just because my husband isn't home doesn't mean I don't have other men. Don't you know that Sister Chen is close to Director Mei of the Sunset Red Dance Competition? The new phone Sister Chen has was given by Director Mei. As for this child, I think she's probably Director Mei's."
"I've noticed that Old Liu, the owner of the convenience store at the street corner, has a close relationship with Sister Chen. He always personally delivers bottled water to Sister Chen, and it takes him an hour to do so. I think the child is more likely to be Old Liu's."
"Have you forgotten Sister Chen's old classmate? The one who often dropped her off at our activity room? I heard he's a boss with a factory in the suburbs employing over a thousand people. Being a big boss is always busy. Would an ordinary old classmate drop you off? I guess this kid is more likely his..."
The gossips in the hands of the sister dance troupes are detailed and numerous, and there are countless gossips to be exchanged and shared every day.
Even though they are surrounded by gossip every day, this is still the biggest gossip they have heard this year.
I was so excited that I forgot the person involved was still at the scene.
As the sister dance troupe revealed more and more about the "child's biological father," the middle-aged woman's face became increasingly grim. She couldn't help but slam her head on the table and yelled, "Shut up!"
The sister dance troupe shut up in disappointment, but their eyes didn't stop flashing at all, and they kept winking at each other.
The middle-aged woman couldn't help but feel furious. She was shaking with anger, and all her anger was directed at the white mustard spike, which was the fuse.
"Stop talking nonsense in front of me. How could I possibly be pregnant? You're not very skilled, yet you come to me and ruin my reputation!"
Bai Jiesui: "The pulse of joy is not difficult to feel at all. You can feel a kind of rolling sensation in the pulse, which is called a slippery pulse. You can feel it yourself."
The middle-aged woman subconsciously wanted to feel her pulse, but finally she clenched her fist and held back.
She knows best whether she has had sex recently. She is not afraid of people talking nonsense about her. Anyway, she is good at talking and the other party will not get any benefit.
The fear is that the other party will hit the mark.
She herself knows what pregnancy reactions are like.
The middle-aged woman felt guilty, so she became even more angry and embarrassed, and she wanted to tear the mustard seeds apart with her bare hands.
"Why should I touch you? I'm over fifty years old. Do I have to listen to a little girl like you talking nonsense in front of me? If you dare to tarnish my reputation again, I'll be rude to you!"
Facing the furious middle-aged woman, Bai Jiesui was not afraid at all. Instead, he calmly advised her to calm down.
"Auntie, please don't be impatient. Pregnant at your age is already difficult enough. You must control your emotions and try not to have too many mood swings. The baby in your belly is not stable. Any high-intensity exercise and emotional fluctuations will cause heavy bleeding and endanger your life. It is recommended that you stay in bed for three months to protect the fetus."
I don’t know if it was a psychological effect, but just as the middle-aged woman was about to curse back, she suddenly felt a dull pain in her lower abdomen again, even more painful than in the morning.
But the middle-aged woman was stubborn and did not agree with Bai Jiesui's diagnosis until this time.
"What can a second-rate Chinese medicine practitioner like you possibly can tell? I won't believe a single word you say today."
"Believe it or not, I hope you can take good care of your body. It's best to go to the hospital for a full pregnancy check-up tomorrow morning. You are now an elderly mother with special physical conditions. You may face life-threatening dangers at any time. You can't be careless." Bai Jiesui said earnestly.
The sister dance troupe also gave their advice.
"Sister Chen, calm down. Listen to what the girl says and control your emotions. If you bleed profusely, it will be a double loss. How terrifying!"
"We have to go to the hospital, but Sister Chen, you have to think about who the father of your baby is. Find the culprit quickly and make them take responsibility. You can't just walk away after having your fun. Bah, it's not that easy!"
"But I remember they all have families. Director Mei already has a granddaughter, and he and his wife are very loving. But Old Liu from the convenience store has a wife who's a bitch. Who could possibly mess with her?"
"Where's Sister Chen's old classmate?"
"I heard that her old classmate is a son-in-law, and the money and power in the factory are tightly controlled by his father-in-law. If he dares to come forward and admit it, he will be kicked out by his father-in-law the next day."
The sister dance troupe thought for a long time but couldn't find a suitable person to take charge.
"Sister Chen, why don't you call your old man Zhang back from his hometown? I think your old man Zhang is quite honest and decent. If you talk to him nicely and say a few soft words, maybe he will forgive you."
The middle-aged woman is now regretting her actions to the point of her intestines turning green. What evil has she done to deserve taking advantage of this and letting this damned girl take her pulse?
If she had noticed it earlier and secretly gone to the hospital for a check-up, there would be no problem.
The middle-aged woman knew that she would never admit it even if she was beaten to death. As long as she didn't admit it, everything could still be saved.
She has certain power in the sister dance troupe. As long as she denies everything and tells the members of the sister dance troupe not to make random speculations, otherwise her performance qualifications will be revoked, I believe few people would dare to spread the news outside.
However, just as she was about to speak, she suddenly felt nauseous, and she couldn't bear the nausea.
But she didn't care about anything else. She pushed aside the sister dance troupe, took a deep breath and rushed to the flower bed outside the house to vomit.
He kept retching until he was about to vomit bile.
The sister dance troupe followed behind and witnessed the scene together.
At this point, even if the middle-aged woman still wanted to defend herself, any words would seem so pale and powerless in the face of the evidence of morning sickness.
The middle-aged woman knew that she was socially dead, socially dead in front of all her acquaintances, and that the sister dance troupe would soon make the news known to everyone.
She was so angry that her face turned red. She rushed out of Grandpa Qi's yard and walked away quickly without looking back.
The middle-aged woman left, and the sister dance troupe no longer had any scruples and shared her gossip even more unscrupulously.
"Oh my, this is big news!"
"Guess who is the father of the baby in Sister Chen's belly?"
"No matter who the child's father is, there will be a good show to watch in a while."
"Old Zhang is a bit of an honest person, but he's not without a temper. When he gets back, he'll definitely cause a big fuss."
"Sister Yu, your home is close to Sister Chen. If there's any movement at Sister Chen's house, please let her know in advance. We're all in the same dance troupe, and we can't just ignore Sister Chen if something happens to her."
Everyone in the sister dance troupe said they wanted to go, and I couldn’t tell how much of that was out of genuine worry and how much was out of wanting to watch the fun.
"By the way, Sister Chen can't continue dancing practice recently. We're missing a lead dancer. What are we going to do for the competition next month?"
"Just ask the troupe leader to rearrange it. Sister Lu dances much more professionally than Sister Chen. In my opinion, Sister Lu should be the lead dancer, so we should add Sister Lu's dance part."
The person named Sister Lu did not refuse, but said something objective and fair.
"I think everyone's dancing should be increased. Before, Sister Chen was the lead dancer, and she danced mostly solo, and everyone almost became her backup dancers."
Her proposal was immediately unanimously approved by the sister dance troupes.
"Let's go find the dance troupe's director and ask him to rearrange the group!"
"I agree, let's go now!"
The sister dance troupe left again in a hurry.
Grandma Yan came late looking for her VIP card.
When she went downstairs and saw the quiet living room without the large dance troupe of sisters, she felt a little surprised.
"Why are all the people gone? Don't want to be stuck anymore?"
Grandpa Qi is old and was forced to listen to a lot of low-level gossip. He hasn't digested it yet and is still in shock.
Bai Jiesui: "Please keep the card. They've already left."
"Why did he leave suddenly? And what happened to this old man? Why did he suddenly become stupid?" Grandma Yan was completely confused about the situation.
Bai Jiesui: "Grandpa Qi is just too shocked because he's heard too much gossip. He'll be fine after he digests it. As for Aunt Chen, she's gone to protect the fetus."
"What fetus do you want to protect?" Grandma Yan didn't understand.
Bai Jiesui shrugged and said simply, "She's pregnant."
At that moment, Grandma Yan's eyes were wider than those of the aunts from the sister dance troupe, and her eyes were shining with excitement.
Bai Jiesui couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Sure enough, no matter the age, everyone loves to listen to gossip.
