"Quick, hurry up and send him to the hospital!"
Ding Hongye fainted on the way home after receiving the boxes to be pasted today.
When Shen Chuning and Lin Shulan arrived, Wen Xueqing had already directed people to send Ding Hongye to the hospital.
Shen Chuning squeezed into the crowd and saw Ding Hongye's face was pale, with thin and dense beads of cold sweat oozing from his forehead.
In this era of food and clothing shortage, Shen Chuning didn't care much before, but now she found that Ding Hongye was so thin that her cheekbones were protruding and her eye sockets were sunken. She was even thinner than when she first met her at the train station.
"Ningning, why are you here? Don't squeeze into the crowd, or we'll squeeze you into trouble!" Shen Chuning was just about to squeeze closer and find a chance to feed Ding Hongye some spiritual spring water.
Zhang Yuelan and Lin Shulan brought her back from the crowd.
"This must be Aunt Zhou, right? Hello, Aunt Zhou, my name is Zhang Yuelan, and I'm also a military family member." Zhang Yuelan greeted Lin Shulan cheerfully.
Then he said with a look of regret: "If I had known that Hongye would go get the paper box to paste it, I wouldn't have told you about this job!"
Shen Chuning comforted Zhang Yuelan and said, "Sister-in-law, you reminded us that the glue used to paste paper boxes is poisonous and not suitable for us to make. It's not your fault.
Let’s go to the hospital first. Hongye’s family must have encountered some difficulties. ”
When Shen Chuning and Zhang Yuelan rushed to the hospital, the doctor had seen Ding Hongye, prescribed medicine, and put her on IV drip.
The other people who were watching the fun did not follow, only Wen Xueqing stayed by her side.
"Sister-in-law, how is Hongye?"
Shen Chu Ning walked into the ward, lowered his voice, and asked worriedly.
"The doctor said it's nothing serious, just malnutrition. Look, he's been given an IV drip." Wen Xueqing's brows were still tightly furrowed as she said this.
Malnutrition is not a big problem for Ding Hongye.
But there was someone in their family compound who fainted from malnutrition and hunger. If this got out, it would be a joke and it would also be a dereliction of duty for her as the director of the logistics department.
Shen Chuning and Zhang Yuelan were also a little surprised.
Lei Bingjun is the battalion commander. Even if he does not go on missions and does not receive bonuses, his fixed monthly allowance is over eighty yuan.
Zhang Yuelan's husband also receives the same allowance at the same level. They have two half-grown sons and a family of four. Although their life is tight, they have no problem with food and clothing.
Ding Hongye and her husband's child hasn't been born yet, so why did they have to make paper boxes while pregnant to supplement the family income, and even cause her to become malnourished?
“Red leaves…”
Lei Bingjun, who received the news, rushed over in a hurry.
As soon as he entered the ward, he saw Wen Xueqing and Zhang Yuelan. He didn't even have time to greet them, and hurriedly asked Wen Xueqing, "Sister-in-law, how is my wife?"
Wen Xueqing's face suddenly turned fierce, "You still remember to ask your wife how she is? Your wife is malnourished and fainted from hunger, did you know that?
Did you know that your wife, with a big belly, ran to the paper box factory to get paper boxes to paste? ”
The reason why Wen Xueqing was so strict with Lei Bingjun was because she knew that there were actually quite a few confused old men in this family compound. They sent most of their allowances to their parents and brothers and sisters in their hometown to support a whole family of blood-sucking worms, which in turn made their wives and children tighten their belts and live a tight life.
"I don't know." Lei Bingjun looked honest and confused. "Except for the ten yuan I send to my parents in my hometown every month, the rest of my allowance is given to Hongye. Is it possible that Hongye still doesn't have enough money to spend?"
Lei Bingjun finished speaking, still looking annoyed and blaming himself, "It's all my fault. I was so busy with the training in the army during this period that I paid too little attention to Hongye. I didn't even know that she had spent all her money!"
If he knew, he would have borrowed some money and food from his comrades first, so that his wife and children would not starve!
We are all military wives and we all know the situation in the army.
The army is now faced with heavy training tasks, and in order to save time, these soldiers basically eat in the cafeteria.
Seeing Lei Bingjun's appearance, neither Wen Xueqing, Shen Chuning, nor Zhang Yuelan knew what to say.
Ding Hongye only had a monthly allowance of over 70 yuan to spend on herself. She should have been well-off and would not have gone without food and starved herself to the point of fainting.
There is no need to paste paper boxes to supplement household income.
As for why she ended up like this, only she herself knows.
"Old Lei..."
As soon as Lei Bingjun finished speaking, Ding Hongye's weak voice rang out, "Where am I?"
"Don't move, there's a needle in your hand!" Seeing that she was trying to sit up, Wen Xueqing quickly held her down.
Shen Chu Ning also took advantage of this time to give her some spiritual spring water to drink, "Hongye, drink some water first and relax."
Although Ding Hongye was a little confused, she was still very obedient. Shen Chuning handed the water to her mouth and she took a big sip.
At this time, Lei Bingjun couldn't wait to step to Ding Hongye's bedside and said, "Wife, I'm sorry, I've been too busy recently and haven't paid enough attention to you.
Why didn’t you tell me that you had no food to eat and no money to spend? You are pregnant with our baby now, how can you starve yourself to death? ”
When Ding Hongye heard what Lei Bingjun said, she avoided his gaze and did not dare to look into his eyes.
Everyone present was perceptive. Looking at Ding Hongye's expression, they knew that there were some things that could only be said between the couple.
Wen Xueqing reminded him, "Xiao Ding, if you encounter any difficulties, just tell Comrade Xiao Lei about it.
Matters between a couple must always be discussed and negotiated before they can be resolved. ”
"Xiao Lei, you stay here and take good care of Xiao Ding. The sisters-in-law will leave first."
After Wen Xueqing finished speaking, Shen Chuning and Zhang Yuelan also said goodbye.
Before leaving, Shen Chuning deliberately left a pot of spiritual spring water and told Lei Bingjun: "Captain Lei, the doctor said that my sister-in-law should drink more water. Remember to give my sister-in-law more water later!"
After all, Lin Shulan was not familiar with Ding Hongye, and she did not follow Shen Chuning to visit Ding Hongye.
When Shen Chuning returned home, Lin Shulan was already sewing small clothes for the child.
Shen Chu Ning didn't know how to make clothes, so she just helped Lin Shulan and chatted with Lin Shulan about Ding Hongye.
After listening to Shen Chuning, Lin Shulan asked Shen Chuning, “Ningning, what’s the situation of this sister-in-law you mentioned, her family?”
Shen Chu Ning reacted immediately, "Mom, do you mean that Sister Ding secretly took the money to subsidize her mother's family, so that she would starve?"
Shen Chu Ning couldn't imagine it, "She can't be that stupid, right? Even if she wants to subsidize her parents' home, at least she will leave some for herself to spend!"
Moreover, she felt that even if Ding Hongye was really that stupid, she could just send all the money to her parents' home.
Her family should also know that such a large amount of money a month is probably their son-in-law's entire salary. How could they be so cruel as to accept it?
Lin Shulan saw what Shen Chuning was thinking, but she didn't think Shen Chuning was naive. She was just glad that her son had met a good Yue family.
