Chapter 212: Sadness, a Woman Driven Crazy (2)
The infirmary fell into a long silence.
Liu Xiangmei looked at Erya, then turned to look at Daya, her eyes filled with heartache.
"Mom, don't cry..."
Daya raised her little hand and gently wiped Liu Xiangmei's cheek, trying to wipe away her tears.
Liu Xiangmei immediately wiped her face, wiped the corners of her eyes, and tried hard to force a smile.
She said softly.
"Daya, it's okay. Mommy didn't cry. Daya was great today and did a great job. When you get better, Mommy will buy you your favorite canned yellow peaches."
"……Really?"
"Really, Mom promises you."
Liu Xiangmei nodded vigorously. She was determined to squeeze out money for the canned yellow peaches even if it meant she had to use up her teeth.
Everyone listened to the conversation between the mother and daughter.
My heart also felt sour and bitter.
Slowly I understand...
They forced Liu Xiangmei to break down and cry in front of her children. What a cruel thing it was.
This low pressure keeps lingering in the air.
The situation was not broken until the arrival of Doctor Pei.
Doctor Pei checked the temperature of Daya and Erya again, removed the needles, and prescribed medicine.
Daya's condition is slightly better. If she doesn't have a high fever again tonight, she just needs to take medicine at home and won't need any more injections.
But Erya can't do that.
"Here's a thermometer. Take it home and take the child's temperature every two hours. If it's over 39, bring the child to the infirmary immediately. It doesn't matter if it's late at night, the child must be brought here. If the fever doesn't rise again at night, come back the next day for an IV drip."
Doctor Pei handed the thermometer to Liu Xiangmei and gave her careful instructions.
Liu Xiangmei listened carefully and wrote down everything carefully.
With the end of these things, everyone can finally put their minds at ease and return to the compound.
Two children.
Liu Xiangmei held one, and Wang Chunxia also helped hold one.
While everyone is preparing.
Jiang Ning's expression remained solemn, but he finally spoke.
"Sister Xiangmei, go call Captain Chen and ask him to come and take the child back personally."
As soon as these words were spoken.
Liu Xiangmei was stunned for a moment, her red and swollen eyes staring blankly at Jiang Ning who was standing beside her.
She didn't know why Jiang Ning said that.
Jiang Ning met Liu Xiangmei's gaze, his expression still serious, and reminded her softly.
"Sister Xiangmei, if you really want to solve your family's problems and get rid of those two burdens, Aunt Chen and Chen Xing'er, it doesn't depend on what they ask for, but on Captain Chen."
What this man does is the most important thing to Liu Xiangmei.
"But...he...he...is still busy."
Liu Xiangmei hesitated.
She is clearly a female thinker of this era, and is also bound by tradition.
The idea that men work outside and women work inside is really ridiculous.
It's clearly a marriage between two people, so why does the woman have to bear all the pain?
Jiang Ning reminded.
"Only when Captain Chen held the child in his own hands did he realize how fragile and haggard a sick child is."
Hearing someone talk about it afterwards and holding the baby in your arms are two completely different concepts.
As a father, it is impossible for Chen Wenbin to remain indifferent to this.
Liu Xiangmei was still hesitating.
Wang Chunxia began to persuade.
"Liu Xiangmei, just do what Sister Ning says. Sister Ning is such a smart person, she must be right."
In Wang Chunxia's heart, she couldn't understand why Jiang Ning did this.
But she had only one belief, which was to trust Jiang Ning in everything.
Liu Xiangmei looked at Jiang Ning on the left and Wang Chunxia on the right, and made up her mind unconsciously!
"Okay, I'll get someone to call Lao Chen over and have him hold the baby."
There are young soldiers standing guard outside the infirmary. Ask them to help notify the battalion commander. It's not a difficult task.
Before Chen Wenbin came.
Jiang Ning seized the opportunity and said a few words to Liu Xiangmei.
"Sister Xiangmei, do you believe me?"
"Sister Ning...I...I believe it."
Liu Xiangmei was still a little hesitant in her heart, but she had no brothers or sisters here, let alone her own family. If she couldn't trust Jiang Ning, who else could she trust?
Jiang Ning nodded slightly.
She said, "Sister Xiangmei, if you believe me, just do as I say, and maybe you can solve your current family problems."
"I...what should I do..."
Liu Xiangmei was nervous and looked at Jiang Ning eagerly.
Jiang Ning leaned close to Liu Xiangmei's ear and whispered something.
Liu Xiangmei listened carefully, but the expression on her face changed from shock to disbelief, and she kept shaking her head.
"No, no, no!"
Jiang Ning persuaded, "Sister Xiangmei, it's not true, I'm just pretending."
After listening to this, Liu Xiangmei calmed down a little and thought carefully about what Jiang Ning said.
After hesitating, she asked in a low voice, "Sister Ning, will it really work if I do this?"
Jiang Ning replied, "We'll know if it works or not after trying it."
Liu Xiangmei stared at Jiang Ning. Seeing the calm and determined look on her face, she unconsciously felt more confident.
"Okay. Anyway...anyway, it's like this, I'll just go for it and try it as you said! Sister Ning, I haven't said thank you yet. Thank you so much today, you are the lifesaver of our Da Ya and Er Ya."
Liu Xiangmei was grateful.
Jiang Ning shook his head slightly.
She saved people just because she liked Daya and Erya, and did not expect any gratitude.
Before Chen Wenbin came.
Jiang Ning, Wang Chunxia, and other sisters-in-law returned to the compound one after another.
All matters and the two children were left to Liu Xiangmei and her husband.
…
Not long after.
Liu Xiangmei and Chen Wenbin, each holding a child, finally returned.
The sisters-in-law in the compound gathered around, worried about Daya and Erya's situation, and asked about their concerns.
In such an enthusiastic atmosphere.
But there was a voice that snorted coldly.
"It's just a child who's sick. Everyone had headaches, fevers, bumps and bruises when they were young. These are all normal things. Is there any need to be so nervous?"
"You're still angry with me for such a small matter, Liu Xiangmei, have you forgotten who you are?"
"Is the infirmary in your barracks free? Does it cost money to see a doctor? If it does, it's such a waste... Just cover yourself with more blankets and sweat more, and you'll be full of energy again the next day. Why waste that money?"
The voices of Aunt Chen and Chen Xing'er were cold and sarcastic, which seemed particularly abrupt.
No one could believe that such cold words came from the mouth of a grandmother.
If it were normal times.
Liu Xiangmei would definitely rush forward and say some nice words to ask Chen Xing'er and Aunt Chen to go back into the house instead of embarrassing themselves outside in front of so many people.
What Liu Xiangmei needs to protect is not only herself, but also Chen Wenbin's face.
But today…
After Jiang Ning reminded her.
Liu Xiangmei did nothing but held the child and watched everything coldly.
She didn't say a word.
Those two people can say whatever they want.
She is about to lose her child, what’s the point of saving her face!
