Upon hearing this, Cao Tongwen's expression immediately turned strange, and she became even more suspicious.
Could this little brat be trying to slander her on purpose?
With so many neighbors watching, she quickly spoke up to explain:
"Don't talk nonsense. Everyone in the alley knows that Cheng Wan is heavily pregnant and has difficulty moving around. I've been cooking all the meals at my house lately, and I haven't added anything to the food."
“Cheng Wan is carrying the child of our Wen family, I have no reason to harm her.”
Cheng Xiangling ignored her and just recited a few dish names with red eyes.
“When I came today, I brought my sister a lot of fruits and vegetables that my grandparents in the village grew themselves. My sister will eat these things tonight.”
"A dish of eggplant with garlic sauce, a dish of cold celery salad, and a small bowl of tomato and egg noodles should be fine."
These dishes are rich in vitamins and are indeed very suitable for pregnant women, so it seems the problem doesn't lie there.
After pondering for a moment, Shen Zhihuan suddenly asked, "Did your sister drink any nourishing soup or medicine tonight?"
One sentence struck a nerve with Cao Tongwen, making her so angry she jumped up and down.
"Did she drink the herbal medicine? I saw that she was weak and was worried that she wouldn't have the strength to give birth, so I kindly gave her the best things in the house to eat. Are you going to question me for that?"
Wen Jun was afraid that his mother would be scolded again, so he quickly chimed in to support her.
"Yes, my mom really dotes on her daughter-in-law, so she specially made ginseng soup for her tonight."
He paused, then added quietly, "That ginseng is very expensive."
Although everyone despised Wen Jun's behavior, they were also quite confused by what he said.
In theory, ginseng is a nourishing food that is very helpful to people.
But Cheng Wan's condition didn't improve after taking the medicine, so why did she suffer such severe hemorrhage?
Just as everyone was puzzled, Shen Zhihuan's expression suddenly changed.
Ginseng is indeed a good thing, but you should know that the more nutritious something is, the less you should eat it indiscriminately.
Especially with this kind of medicinal material, it is even more important to strictly follow the doctor's instructions.
Cao Tongwen's "good intentions" have really put Cheng Wan in a terrible situation.
Cheng Xiangling was initially relieved that the ingredients were fine, but seeing Shen Zhihuan like this made her nervous again.
Just as the group was getting anxious, they finally heard the sound of an ambulance coming from outside the alley.
Xie Lanshen also took the stretcher he found, placed it on the ground, and said in a deep voice:
"Tell us what to do, and we'll do it."
The situation was urgent, and Shen Zhihuan didn't have time to say much to him. After nodding slightly, she gave instructions:
"Get a few more people here to protect the patient's shoulders and legs, and try to keep her from being jostled. Lay her flat on the stretcher."
After the series of treatments, Cheng Wan was still not fully awake, but her condition was finally under some control.
The body, which had been hunched over due to intense pain, was finally able to stretch out.
As soon as Shen Zhihuan spoke, a large group of people gathered around and, under her direction, steadily carried the stretcher out of the alley.
The ambulance was ready. Seeing Cheng Wan covered in blood, the paramedics were startled and quickly called out:
"Quickly, get the equipment on. The patient's condition is critical and we can't delay. We must get to the hospital immediately."
The neighbors were heartbroken to see this scene and gathered around, wondering if they could do anything to help.
Cao Tongwen kept backing away, refusing to follow.
"I didn't call this ambulance. Go find whoever you want, but don't make me pay for it later!"
Sister Li and Sister Zhou wanted to roll their eyes as soon as they heard Cao Tongwen open her mouth to speak.
But the situation was urgent, and no one had time to argue with her.
The two of them pushed Wen Jun over together, scolding him at the same time:
"Didn't you hear the nurse say to get Wanwan to the hospital right away? What are you standing there for? Get in the car!"
Wen Jun was also a little scared when he saw Cheng Wan's current state, fearing that something serious might happen, so he quickly followed her.
Before he could take more than a few steps, Cao Tongwen pounced on him like a madwoman and blocked his way.
"You're not allowed to go! Our Wen family has been utterly disgraced by Cheng Wan, and you still want to join her in this nonsense!"
"Wen Jun, if you still want to acknowledge me as your biological mother, you're not allowed to go today!"
"mom."
Wen Jun stopped in his tracks, looking troubled.
"Cheng Wan is already so sick, so stop making a fuss."
He stood there hesitating for a long time, unsure whether he should try to calm his mother down or go check on his wife.
Even Shen Zhihuan, who was standing in front of the ambulance, couldn't stand it anymore and directly questioned him in a cold voice:
"Are you even a man? Your wife and children are in grave danger, their lives are in danger, and you actually think that your mother's tantrum is more important?"
"Anyone who marries into a family like yours is truly cursed for eight lifetimes."
After saying that, Shen Zhihuan didn't even look at the Wen family mother and son's reaction, and directly took Cheng Xiangling's hand and led her into the ambulance.
"Ignore the mother and child, we'll go to the hospital ourselves!"
Wen Jun was still hesitating when, unexpectedly, the next second they actually closed the car door and rode in the ambulance straight to the hospital.
He was left standing there, completely dumbfounded.
The neighbors couldn't bear to look at Wen Jun like that and gave him a thorough dressing-down.
"Don't worry about your pride. If anything happens to Wanwan today, you and your son will never have a peaceful life in this tenement again!"
"I'll curse you every time I see you from now on. I want to see just how thick-skinned you two really are!"
Not to mention Wen Jun, even Cao Tongwen couldn't withstand such criticism.
"Alright, alright, what's the point of meddling in other people's family affairs? Let's just go over and take a look."
The two sheepishly found a car and went to the hospital.
Recalling what happened today, Cao Tongwen still had a sullen face and kept muttering to herself.
"It's all Cheng Wan's fault. If she were even a little healthier, she wouldn't have caused so much trouble today."
"This involves calling an ambulance and going to the hospital. Who knows how much it will cost? Oh, it breaks my heart."
Cao Tongwen muttered for a while, then suddenly her mood improved as she thought of something.
"But this might be a good thing. Cheng Wan is not good enough for you, and I have never liked this daughter-in-law either."
"I see she's bleeding so badly, she might really not make it this time. After she dies, we'll have a legitimate reason to marry the girl from the better family."
Cao Tongwen couldn't help but applaud her own plan.
"I already found you a girl. She's pretty and will probably bring a lot of dowry. All that money will be yours. And this ginseng is from her family. It's such a good thing!"
Seeing Wen Jun sitting silently beside her, she became unhappy again, nudged him with her elbow, and pressed him for an answer:
"What do you think? When you met that girl last time, weren't you quite satisfied with her?"
