Lian Yi answered the woman's question, which made Qiao Lao Er, who was standing beside her, feel relieved. He immediately sat down next to Lian Yi and asked:
"Wife, do you still feel stuffy in your chest now?"
"It's better than before, but still a little stuffy."
Ripple said with a frown.
"Girl, are you feeling chest tightness?"
The woman asked directly.
"Well, when my husband was washing apples, he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest. We called a doctor but he didn't come. Only the nurse came."
Lian Yi said somewhat dissatisfiedly.
"Hey, in a place like Hongning County, you can't expect a good doctor to help you give birth to the baby smoothly. If your husband is really worried, go to Fuyuan Town. The hospital there is bigger and has better equipment.
If my mother hadn’t passed away early and I hadn’t relied on my mother-in-law to take care of me during the confinement period, I would definitely not be willing to come here to give birth. It would be better to give birth in a big city.”
"Sister, why don't you just take your mother-in-law over? Wouldn't that be easier?"
Lianyi said while eating an apple.
Qiao Laoer on the side did not stop them either. What he said were all irrelevant things. He couldn't just let his wife remain silent, as it would seem a little suspicious. After all, he was guilty.
"You think I didn't want to? My mother-in-law said she couldn't get used to living in a building in a big city. It felt like a pigeon coop, and she didn't know the neighbors. She was so anxious that she said it was more comfortable to live in her own yard, and the air here was good, so I came here to give birth."
The woman said helplessly.
"Then your mother-in-law is right. The air here is indeed good, and there are green plants everywhere. You can see the stars in the sky at night. A good mood is also good for pregnant women."
Lianyi had already finished one apple, and took out another one from the bedside table and took a bite.
"Sister, what you said is true. Anyway, it has come to this. I will just hold on. But my husband's vacation is coming up soon, and he has to go back to Changning City tomorrow."
"There is no other way. It is very hard for a man to support his family and earn money for milk powder."
Ripple said casually.
"Your husband said that you are not pregnant, so you asked for a long vacation, right? Will your workplace agree to that?"
The woman obviously had some gossip.
"Of course I don't want to, so they asked me to resign. I don't want to, so I told them that if they force me to be fired, I will apply for labor arbitration. The labor law clearly stipulates that companies cannot fire pregnant employees."
Lian Yi said calmly.
"Sister, you are still the best."
"So how did the company deal with it in the end?"
"It was the company that breached the contract first. They compensated me for half a year's salary, and I went home to take care of my baby."
Lianyi continued to make up stories.
The woman in the next bed gave Lianyi a thumbs up after hearing what she said, but when she glanced at the honest man next to Lianyi, a question mark flashed in her mind: how could a woman like Lianyi be willing to marry such a man?
It's not that she looked down on this man, but judging from his behavior that day, although he was very worried about his wife, the way he looked at people often made her feel a little creepy.
Just when she wanted to ask more questions, Xiaoliu came back with a lunch box. Lianyi smiled at him and said:
"Sister, I'm going to eat first. I can't stand being hungry now."
"Okay, let's chat later."
Lianyi enjoyed another delicious meal of fish soup and meat patties, and only then did she feel better in her stomach. Fortunately, she had passed the period when she would vomit at the smell of fish.
"Second brother, go eat first. I'll stay with my sister-in-law and make sure nothing happens."
Xiaoliu said immediately.
After watching Lianyi eat her fill and then lie down to sleep, Qiao Laoer did not chat with the woman in the next bed and left the ward with peace of mind.
As soon as Qiao Laoer left, the night shift doctor came and listened to Lianyi's chest with a stethoscope. He asked the other party to describe the symptoms, and then said:
"I suspect you may have insufficient blood flow to your heart, which may have something to do with your pregnancy. Why don't you stay for another day and let the cardiologist check you out tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll listen to the doctor."
Lianyi nodded in agreement. Xiaoliu's eyes lit up when he heard this. He obviously had other ideas, but he didn't say anything.
In less than twenty minutes, Qiao Laoer came back from dinner. When he learned that the doctor asked him to stay for another day, his brows furrowed, and he was obviously unhappy.
Lian Yi said at the right time:
"Brother, if we don't have enough money, let's be discharged from the hospital tomorrow! I can bear it."
"Don't worry about money. Your most important thing is to take good care of yourself and give me a big fat boy."
Qiao Laoer waved his hand.
He really didn't need the money, but he felt it was unsafe to take the bought woman outside. He got angry just thinking about it. If it weren't for his mother and sister, he wouldn't have taken such a big risk to bring someone out!
He had already made up his mind that as long as the fetus was saved this time, this woman would never be able to step out of Qiaojiagou again.
Lianyi nodded after hearing what the other party said and continued to sleep and rest. All that was left was to find an opportunity to pass the note. Her target was the husband of the woman in the bed next to her.
Because they are not locals, and are not very old but not young either, they should be able to properly handle the distress message she sent.
At this moment, the man who had been to the bathroom came to the woman's bed and said:
"Wife, let me help you walk slowly around a few more times."
"Well, let's just walk down the aisle."
The woman was also getting anxious staying in the ward, so she held her husband's wrist and left the ward. Now Lianyi was the only pregnant woman left in the ward.
"Brother, I will stay with you tonight. You should have a good sleep and come back tomorrow to accompany your sister-in-law for the checkup."
Xiaoliu said immediately.
This is a ward after all, and the rule is that there can only be one person accompanying the patient, so Xiaoliu made this suggestion.
"Okay, be alert and remember to stay with your sister-in-law. If anything goes wrong, I'll take action against you."
"Don't worry, I'm very alert."
Lianyi took in all these words but did not open her eyes. She knew that tonight was her chance.
On the other side, a woman walking in the aisle was whispering to her husband:
"I think there's something wrong with the woman in the next bed."
"What's wrong?"
Men are more careless and their whole attention is focused on their wives, so they don't notice these things at all.
"Everything is wrong. I always feel that her husband is too strict with her. He is not happy when I say a few more words to him, and she never leaves home without someone by her side."
"Didn't they say that the woman was trying to protect her pregnancy? I'm afraid she's worried about the baby in her belly."
The man thought for a moment and said.
He grew up here and knew that in some places the idea of favoring boys over girls was deeply rooted and could not be changed in a short time.
"I always feel like something is wrong. I'll find a chance to talk to her later."
"Wife, you're about to give birth, why are you worrying about all this? Just take care of yourself!"
The man obviously thought that less trouble is worse than more.
"Just stay away. Women's sixth sense is very accurate. If I say there is a problem, there must be a problem!" (End of this chapter)
