Did she mention that astragalus was added to the stewed chicken?
"Aunt Cui Ju didn't say. Doctor, what is astragalus? My mother is pregnant with my baby girl, can't she eat barley porridge and astragalus stewed chicken?"
The little boy's face was full of innocence. Patting his head, Song Lan explained to the man the dangers of barley porridge and astragalus-stewed chicken for women in late pregnancy. Seeing his stunned expression, she pondered for a moment, and her clear voice flowed from her lips again:
"Logically, as a doctor, my duty is to treat and save lives, and I don't need to meddle in other people's business. However, the reason your wife is in this critical situation today is because of the barley porridge and astragalus stewed chicken she ate. If she knew that these two foods would be dangerous for pregnant women, then I have reason to suspect her motives."
Of course, how you choose to do it is up to you, but my suggestion is to call the police to prevent the other party from having ulterior motives and using other methods to harm your loved one.
Alright, that's all I have to say. Go inside and see your loved one!
After leaving a message and giving a few instructions to nurse Fang Fei, Song Lan picked up her medical kit and returned to the Traditional Chinese Medicine department.
Unexpectedly, the next day a big piece of gossip spread in the hospital, and the people involved were the pregnant woman who almost lost her baby and her husband the day before, as well as their junior high school classmate, a widow who had taken her seven-year-old daughter back to her parents' home after her husband's death.
Are you sure what you heard is true?
Today is the second day back to get off work after the Lunar New Year holiday. Song Lan finished seeing a patient near the end of her shift at noon, and then saw nurse Wang Ping walk into the clinic with a gossipy look on her face. Then, she heard Wang Ping tell her something that shocked her.
Here's what happened: The woman named Wang Jinling, whom she saved from the brink of death yesterday, was actually tricked by Cui Ju, her best friend and junior high school classmate, causing her to have a premature birth and then a difficult labor, almost resulting in the deaths of both herself and her unborn child.
Cui Ju and Wang Jinling were very close friends. Although they did not live in the same village, their villages were separated by only a production road and shared a primary school. Therefore, they became good friends since they started primary school.
Furthermore, through Cui Ju, Wang Jinling became acquainted with her current husband, Zhang Junping. The three were of similar age and had been classmates from elementary school to junior high school.
However, Zhang Junping liked Cui Ju, and Cui Ju liked Zhang Junping in return. They were from the same village, and their families lived only one house apart.
Originally, the two planned to tell their families that they liked each other after graduating from junior high school so that they could arrange their marriage.
Unexpectedly, not long after Cui Ju finished junior high school, the Cui family asked someone to introduce her to a boy from the town.
The other party's father not only has a job, but also an older brother and sister, and the boy himself is a worker with a formal position.
With the prospect of marrying a man who receives a government-subsidized job and becoming a city dweller, Cui Ju hardly hesitated before agreeing to meet the man and quickly finalizing the marriage.
But when she broke up with Zhang Junping, she said that her family did not agree to their being together, and that her family had already arranged a marriage for her and set the date for her to marry into the family after the New Year.
Zhang Junping is not the type to be unable to let go of things once they've taken them in.
Even though he was heartbroken that the girl he liked was being forced by her family to marry someone else, he still offered his blessings in the end.
Time flies and Cui Ju gets married. On the same day, Zhang Junping and Wang Jinling get engaged through a matchmaker.
The two were classmates in elementary and junior high school, and they knew each other quite well. They had a very good life after marriage.
Unexpectedly, Cui Ju became a widow in the seventh year of her marriage.
It is said that the man had an accident while at work and died before he could be taken to the hospital.
Actually, it was gone last summer.
After receiving the compensation from the factory, the parents-in-law claimed they didn't want to hold Cui Ju back, but in reality, they kicked her out of the house.
Unable to leave her only daughter behind, Cui Ju took the child and returned to her parents' home.
Thinking of how Wang Jinling and Zhang Junping lived a peaceful and happy life, and how Zhang Junping started working in the county transportation team just two months after marrying Wang Jinling, even though the two were not separated from their family and lived independently, Zhang Junping doted on his wife and brought back many nice things for his wife and children every time he returned from a trip.
These were all things Cui Ju heard from the Cui family.
Therefore, he couldn't help but have wicked thoughts.
Rather than being remarried to any widower by her family, she would rather be with Zhang Junping again.
In Cui Ju's view, she and Zhang Junping had a foundation of affection, and Wang Jinling was just a third party. Unfortunately, despite her repeated attempts to create chance encounters, and even using fruit candy to lure the village children to a secluded place to call Zhang Junping, she was always heartbroken and told him that she had never forgotten him. However, Zhang Junping's response was always that he had a family and that the two could never go back to the past.
Later, whenever Zhang Junping heard that Cui Ju was looking for him, or saw Cui Ju waiting for him by the roadside in the distance, he would simply ignore her and avoid her to live his own life in peace.
Cui Ju was unwilling to give up, so she set her sights on Wang Jinling. While she was getting closer to Wang Jinling and taking care of her in every way, she was looking for an opportunity to get rid of this bitch who had stolen her happiness.
Yes, in Cui Ju's view, it wasn't that she and Zhang Junping broke up, but that Wang Jinling stole Zhang Junping from her.
She believed that Wang Jinling was a despicable and shameless bitch who stabbed her best friend in the back.
Knowing that Wang Jinling was pregnant, Cui Ju saw this as an opportunity.
She once overheard someone say that Job's tears porridge could cause premature birth or miscarriage in pregnant women, and that stewing chicken with astragalus could reduce amniotic fluid in late pregnancy, leading to prolonged labor, i.e., dystocia.
To ensure that both the unborn child and the mother die.
Cui Ju chose to conceive yesterday, the third day of the Lunar New Year, almost a month before Wang Jinling's due date.
Nurse Wang Ping knew such detailed information because she heard it from a nurse surnamed Li in the obstetrics and gynecology department.
In fact, Nurse Li was one of the nurses on duty in the obstetrics and gynecology department yesterday.
As luck would have it, she and Zhang Junping were from the same village.
When I got home from get off work yesterday afternoon, my family told me that the Zhang family had gone to the Cui family's door to settle accounts.
At first, Cui Ju denied it, but when Zhang Junping revealed the conversation between his son and the nurse, as well as the diagnosis given by Song Lan, and suggested calling the police, Cui Ju turned pale and collapsed to the ground.
"Absolutely true."
Wang Ping said, "I heard it from Li Xiao and Fang Ping, so I went over to listen carefully. I was thinking that it was thanks to you yesterday that the pregnant woman and her unborn child were saved. So I came back to our TCM department and shared what I heard with you."
Li Xiao is the nurse who was on duty with Fang Ping in the obstetrics and gynecology department yesterday.
"And then what happened? Was the person taken away by the police?"
Song Lan asked Wang Ping.
“Cui Ju begged Zhang Junping not to call the police, saying that she only wanted to be with Zhang Junping so badly that she was momentarily blinded and did that kind of thing to Wang Jinling.”
As Wang Ping spoke, she sighed, her expression somewhat unpleasant. Seeing this, Song Lan asked again, "Is that how it ends?"
