There aren't many paths ahead for Li Qingqing. If she really collapses, it's impossible to expect the Li family to help her raise her child.
Li Qingqing blushed and moved her lips, saying, "It hurts so much. Even the slightest movement is excruciating."
Shu Ying's eyes were red, and she rubbed Li Qingqing's hand: "Why are you feeling so uncomfortable? Wait for me, I'll go get a basin of hot water and help you take care of it."
After saying that, she quickly grabbed the basin and went to the water room outside.
There weren't many people in the water room at this time. She filled a large basin with spiritual spring water from her spatial storage and returned to the ward. Li Qingqing's face was burning red.
"Yingying, let's forget about it. I can wash it myself."
Shu Ying pressed down on her hand, pulled the privacy curtain next to her, and then used the blanket to cover her in front of her.
“It’s not like I haven’t had children before. My kids are all grown up now, so I’m more experienced in this area than you are. We’re both women, and whatever is uncomfortable as long as it’s part of our body, we should treat it properly. There’s nothing to be ashamed of.”
Shu Ying is a medical student, and with her around, Li Qingqing feels more at ease.
Hearing Shu Ying's gentle yet powerful voice, Li Qingqing felt much less embarrassed and nodded emphatically, "Okay."
Shu Ying took a large cotton swab, dipped it in the spiritual spring water in the basin, and carefully cleaned the bloodstains from the wound.
Li Qingqing's tear was severe. Although the doctor had stitched it up, the sphincter tear was irreversible. Her wound resembled a torn fishing net, densely packed.
Fortunately, thanks to the effects of the spiritual spring water, the terrible wound visibly changed from dark purple to light red, though the net-like wound remains and it is estimated that it will take several days to heal.
"I'll give you some anti-inflammatory medication, which will feel cool and relieve some of your pain. If you feel any discomfort, please let me know."
Shu Ying took out an anti-inflammatory ointment from her spatial storage and carefully applied it to the wound with a cotton swab.
Li Qingqing felt the stinging pain in her body gradually subsiding. She thought she had become numb from the pain and that the pain had gone too far.
After cleaning the wound, Shu Ying took off her medical gloves and covered her with a blanket.
"Your tear is a grade three tear, and it will take some time to heal. During this time, try to eat a light diet. But don't worry, I will change your dressing every day. In three days at most, it will no longer affect your normal life."
If you rely solely on ordinary medicine, it would take at least a week, but the effects of spring water far outweigh those of ordinary medicine.
Li Qingqing forced herself to get up, only to find that she really didn't feel any pain anymore.
She couldn't help but feel a little happy. "Yingying, what medicine did you just give me? It really doesn't hurt much now. I was just lying here and it was in so much pain. Your medicine actually has an immediate effect."
Shu Ying poured out the water and opened a small gap in the ward window to let in some fresh air.
"It's just a regular anti-inflammatory drug. As long as you follow the doctor's instructions, you'll get better quickly. So no matter where you feel unwell, there's no need to hesitate to seek medical attention. We should take all parts of our body seriously."
Shu Ying was relieved to see that Li Qingqing's brows had relaxed, indicating that she was indeed not in much pain anymore.
"Yingying, thank goodness you're here, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do. Thank you."
A friend is a family member you choose for yourself. She can't choose her parents, but she personally chose a good sister for herself.
Shu Ying's appearance was like a ray of light, giving her hope in her endless sea of suffering.
Shu Ying smiled gently. "There's no need for thanks between us. But you silly girl, it's been so long and you haven't told me about your pregnancy. I've given birth before, so I can give you some advice. If I hadn't arrived in time today, I wouldn't have known you had a premature birth. The situation in the hospital is so dangerous. If something had really happened to you and the baby, how could I have been at ease?"
The light in Li Qingqing's eyes grew dimmer and dimmer. Shu Ying sighed and changed the subject.
"Forget it, it's all in the past, let's not think about it anymore. You used up a lot of energy giving birth, you must be hungry. Let's eat first, I made you chicken soup and ribs."
Shu Ying casually opened the thermos in front of the bedside table. The thermos had three layers: the top layer was rice, the middle layer was braised pork chops, and the bottom layer was light chicken soup. Shu Ying also added some morel mushrooms to ensure that the chicken soup was delicious and nutritious.
Li Qingqing couldn't help but widen her eyes, "Yingying, why did you buy so much meat? Have you eaten any?"
This meal was even more lavish than the one she ate during the Chinese New Year. Li Qingqing couldn't even remember the last time she had eaten meat.
The rice looked very plump, and the aroma of the rice wafted into her nose, making her swallow hard.
Shu Ying handed her chopsticks. "I ate some while I was cooking. I don't cook much, so it doesn't look very appetizing, but it tastes good. Even though I'm a picky eater, I still think it's delicious. You should try it. If you like it, I'll cook for you again in the future."
Li Qingqing couldn't wait to shovel a mouthful of rice into her mouth. The soft, sticky rice had a fragrant aroma, and she could eat a whole bowl of it even if it was just plain rice.
Shu Ying placed the soup spoon into the chicken soup. "Eat slowly, take a sip of soup, don't choke. I made the chicken soup a little lighter, you can't eat anything too greasy right now."
As Shu Ying spoke, she added another piece of spare rib to her bowl. She had bought premium spare ribs, which had been stewed for a long time until they were tender and falling off the bone.
