This is indeed a mixed blessing. An annual salary of 150,000 was not low in 1993, and after tax he could still get around 100,000. Add to that other year-end bonuses, and Chu Beichen had already surpassed his current social class with just this income.
Su Nian smiled and said, "I'll make good money and make you something delicious to reward you on the weekends!"
The young couple were very affectionate and talked a lot of nonsense together. It was estimated that the phone bill was more than a hundred yuan, so they hung up the phone reluctantly.
After Su Nian finished the call, she looked at the time. It was just past nine o'clock in the evening. She had just arrived at school today and felt that the food in the cafeteria was particularly rough. She ate very little and was very hungry now.
Su Nian picked up her small backpack and prepared to go to the night market at the back door to buy some food.
As soon as she went out, she saw Professor Liu's brother and his family coming over, talking and laughing. They looked very happy, and they were holding snacks such as mung bean cakes and candied haws in their hands.
Su Nian knew that this family was difficult to deal with, so she didn't intend to pay any attention to them. She lowered her head slightly and was about to pass by them. At this moment, she keenly felt that there was something wrong with the woman walking next to her.
Su Nian had to stop and feel carefully to confirm that the woman, the daughter-in-law of Professor Liu's brother's wife, had an unusual condition.
"Sister-in-law, please wait a moment," Su Nian hesitated for a moment, but still reminded her. The so-called doctor is like a parent, which means that she must fulfill her obligations to the patients, but whether the patients listen or not is another matter.
"Is there something wrong?" Liu's daughter-in-law had long forgotten that she had ever met Su Nian. She was also very surprised to see a foreign student calling her.
"Have you reached your due date? Have you used any medicine to delay the birth of the baby?" Su Nian's face was tense and she looked very serious.
The Liu family's daughter-in-law was moved and was about to admit it when she was pulled aside by her mother-in-law. "Don't bother with irrelevant people. This little girl knows nothing! She is simply bullying us because we are from outside the area and pretending to be so great in front of us!"
Su Nian was shocked by these words and stood there in a daze without saying a word. The daughter-in-law listened to her mother-in-law the most, so she obediently got up and walked away. The family soon walked into the apartment at the end of the corridor.
Su Nian sighed. She had wanted to remind the Liu family, but now it seemed that they would not listen, so she gave up and went to buy food on her own.
After finishing a small portion of jelly, Su Nian brushed her teeth, made her bed and prepared to have a good sleep. To be honest, she felt quite uncomfortable without Chu Beichen around.
The silent corridor suddenly became noisy. Men were calling women to cry, accompanied by the heartbreaking screams of Old Lady Liu. "Hurry up and call his uncle over! Someone has murdered the Liu family's grandson!"
Su Nian just heard it and the hairs on her body stood up. She knew these people's voices very well. They were Professor Liu's sister-in-law and her family. Now they were making a fuss. Could it be that they also discovered the abnormality of their daughter-in-law?
Su Nian guessed that Professor Liu was coming, so she didn't go out to cause trouble in advance, but waited quietly.
The Liu family was arguing in the corridor, and they didn't even mention sending the woman in labor to the hospital first. Instead, they just kept urging Professor Liu, as if he would be heartless if he didn't come, and he would also be heartless if he came and couldn't solve the problem!
About half an hour later, Professor Liu finally arrived. He was very busy recently and was forced to come by his younger brother who threatened to break off their relationship.
Professor Liu briefly checked the mother's condition and shook his head repeatedly, "What did you use on her? Now I can't even hear the fetal heartbeat!"
