A scream suddenly came from the pediatric corridor, followed by the sound of things being smashed.
Qin Xiaoyu knew without even looking that Qi Si had caused trouble. She rushed over and dragged Qi Si, who was throwing a tantrum in the treatment room, out.
"Brother, are you crazy! Get back home right now! We don't need you here!" Qin Xiaoyu said angrily.
"My son is burning up inside, and they won't give him any medicine, and you're still blaming me!" Qi Si cried out in grievance.
“It was me who told me not to take the medication,” Deng Jianyan continued.
"You're so arrogant!" Qi Si threw a punch, and Qin Xiaoyu didn't even have time to stop him.
Deng Jianyan hadn't expected Qi Si to be so fierce; when he was hit on the nose, blood gushed out.
"Dr. Deng!" The nurse was startled and rushed over to help him!
"Brother! This is Brother Deng! My savior!" Qin Xiaoyu was so angry that her eyes were practically spitting fire. Qi Si immediately cowered when he heard that there were several people who were his saviors.
Fortunately, Deng Jianyan had heard of Qi Si's reputation before, so she didn't argue with him. She stuffed cotton balls into her nose and went into the ward to explain the cause of the illness and how to take care of her to Xiao Si's wife and her mother.
Qi Si didn't dare to come in the corridor. He had already been lectured by Qin Xiaoyu for a long time, and he was so ashamed that he didn't dare to lift his head.
"Hey sis, give me some face, can you scold me when we get home?" Qi Si pleaded softly.
"No way!" Qin Xiaoyu shouted, her anger subsiding. She sighed and said, "Go home, we don't need you here."
Qi Si felt as if he had been granted a pardon and was about to run away.
"Come back!" Qin Xiaoyu shouted again.
"Hey, you're back!" Qi Si, with his long legs, darted back in two steps.
"Go and make up for the losses in the treatment room!" Qin Xiaoyu pouted.
Qi Si obediently pushed open the door to the treatment room, but before he could speak, another round of screams erupted inside, making Qin Xiaoyu shake her head in anger.
"Can't you knock?"
"Okay, knock on the door." Qi Si was also stunned by her ordering him around, so he quickly stepped back and knocked on the door twice.
They sent out a bold little nurse to deal with him.
"This is the compensation money. If it's not enough, ask me for more." Qi Si took out a wad of cash, handed it to the nurse, and ran off.
"Apologize!" Qin Xiaoyu roared.
"Yes, no, sorry!" Qi Si's voice came from the end of the corridor.
The pediatric corridor gradually returned to its lively state, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Deng Jianyan understood; one of the children's mothers was Tang Wenwen. He had known Wenwen since they were on the farm, and they felt an immediate connection. So, worried about her, he stayed behind after work to help take care of the children instead of going home himself.
Qin Xiaoyu naturally wanted to stay. She didn't trust her fourth sister-in-law to run errands, fearing that she might misunderstand and cause problems.
Qi Si sent people to deliver food and drink, and also kept sending people to inquire about news, which annoyed Qin Xiaoyu so much that she wanted to go back and give him a good beating right away. It was as if he was the only one in the world who had a son, and everyone else's sons were just pets.
In the latter half of the night, the child's fever finally subsided, and his breathing became even.
"You should go to sleep first, in case it recurs tomorrow. If it gets serious, it could take three days to recover," Deng Jianyan said to Xiao Si's wife, who was experienced in such matters.
Qin Xiaoyu's impression of Xiao Si's wife has improved. As a mother herself, she knows that Xiao Si's wife truly loves her children and treats both children equally, which is quite rare.
Qi Si had already bought three folding beds and delivered them. His wife and mother had been exhausted from all the fuss at home, and they fell asleep almost immediately after lying down.
Seeing that the child was sleeping soundly, Qin Xiaoyu and Deng Jianyan went out one after the other and chatted quietly in the corridor.
"You didn't go home and didn't tell your sister-in-law. Won't she misunderstand again?" Qin Xiaoyu asked in a low voice.
“She’s not home.” Deng Jianyan lit a cigarette.
"Where did she go?" Qin Xiaoyu was a little confused. The garment factory was under a lot of pressure right now, and no one was allowed to take leave. What's up with this Sister-in-law Deng?
“Her cousin got married, so she went back to the farm,” Deng Jianyan said with a wry smile.
"Cousin? Did the garment factory give her leave?" Qin Xiaoyu frowned. The people at the garment factory were working overtime day and night, and her cousin wasn't a real relative, so there was no need for him to make this trip.
"She didn't ask for leave. She said that with your relationship, there wouldn't be any problems."
"..." Qin Xiaoyu was completely speechless. This person was completely out of their mind.
“I’m used to it. I’ve tried to find her jobs at the farm, but she never stayed long on any of them. She was only enthusiastic for a short time. That year, she was helping out at the farm’s canteen. On New Year’s Eve, they were making dumplings for the people on duty, and because it was the New Year, they were giving a high subsidy—two yuan per person for those working overtime. As soon as she heard about the money, she insisted on signing up. But on that day, she said she was tired from working all day, and no matter how I tried to persuade her, she wouldn’t go. In the end, I went to the canteen to help out. The canteen staff said that if I didn’t go, the people on duty might not have enough to eat. After that, I stopped letting her work. I didn’t want her to cause trouble for others.” Deng Jianyan also had a lot of grievances to share.
Qin Xiaoyu then realized how difficult it is for a self-disciplined person to live with someone who doesn't understand life.
Deng Jianyan's guess was accurate; both children had a slight fever when they woke up in the morning, and their temperatures reached nearly 39 degrees Celsius by 10 a.m.
Deng Jianyan used a traditional Chinese medicine prescription to fumigate the child and massage him several times, and the child's temperature did not rise again.
"Dr. Deng's medical skills are superb!" Fourth Sister-in-law's eyes narrowed with joy as she fawned over him, even telling her younger sister-in-law, "You have to keep this man in check. The children will inevitably get sick in the future, but with him around, what are you afraid of?"
Fourth Sister-in-law also listens to her mother, calling him "Brother Deng" sweetly.
Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Qin Xiaoyu took her leave. She hadn't gone back to the Zhou family yesterday, and she wondered how worried they were.
"Brother Deng, why don't you go and get some rest? You haven't slept all night." She beckoned Deng Jianyan out, speaking in a low voice, otherwise the two women inside wouldn't let him out.
"I think I'll stay. I'm not that sleepy. If I leave, they'll lose their leader and keep bothering you." Deng Jianyan gave a wry smile.
As soon as Qin Xiaoyu stepped out of the hospital, she saw Qi Si's car. She walked over and knocked on the window, which startled Qi Si awake.
"Little Fish! How is it?"
"It's okay, brother. You look so nervous. The child is sick. There will be many more situations like this in the future. Just stay calm."
"I can't handle this, don't blame me!" Qi Si sighed heavily and continued, "Sister, let me tell you, everyone has their own selfish motives. When you had a cold, I saw how worried you were, and I was worried too, but I managed to keep a straight face. Now, seeing my son with a high fever, covered in red spots, and the doctor still can't figure it out, my heart is burning with anxiety. If someone had said back then, 'If you ripped out your heart, your son would be better,' I definitely would have done it!"
"Brother, this is fate. I used to think it was too hasty for you to get married because you were pregnant, but now that I hear you say this, I'm really happy. You have something to look forward to in the future, isn't that great?" Qin Xiaoyu sighed sincerely. A great devil has now become a gentle father, a transformation.
