Chapter 74 074 Not Returning to the City & Bleeding Continuously & Maltose...
It was just time to get off work, and Wang Laowu spoke loudly, which attracted enough attention. His kneeling attracted everyone around to come and watch the fun.
Fortunately, Jin Yue reacted quickly and moved away, otherwise she could not bear his kneeling.
"Stand up and speak properly."
"That's right. If someone doesn't know, they might think Dr. Shu did something to you. Don't cause trouble for him."
"You are here to harm Dr. Shu, right? Is this your attitude to ask for help?"
…
Everyone was talking at once. Wang Laowu felt that what they said made sense, so he stood up quickly. "No, I'm not trying to hurt you. I'm just... I'm not good at speaking, so I can't explain it clearly. Doctor Shu, we were definitely wrong about what happened that year. We blamed your second brother for the mistakes made by our own family. We are worthless, and my sister is getting her comeuppance now."
At that time, Aunt Zhao broke off all ties with Shu Wenming's family because they beat her, and she has not been able to see him since then. When she went back to her hometown to visit relatives, she turned away when she saw his family, blaming them as if they were the plague god.
Although the Shu family did not deliberately spread the news that Wang Xiaohong was pregnant before marriage, there is no wall that is impenetrable. People within a ten-mile radius said that Xiaohong deserved it. "Your second brother is such a good person. If he had found your brother, Xiaohong would not have to live the life she has now."
Although Aunt Zhao didn't get along with their family, she often talked about the Shu family, such as how Shu Wenming doted on his wife and bought her this and that. In contrast, Wang Xiaohong was living a miserable life.
At that time, the worker in the paper mill had to compromise and marry Wang Xiaohong because they made a fuss to the factory leaders. However, the workshop director who almost regarded him as a son-in-law hated him completely and made things difficult for him all day long. Whenever he was upset at work, he would take it out on Wang Xiaohong when he got home.
"That bastard, he was the one who beat Xiaohong to death when she was a kid when she was drunk."
The child that was used to force the abdication was also miscarried, and Wang Xiaohong did not take good care of herself during the confinement period, which injured her body. She has not been able to get pregnant in the past few years. It has been very difficult for her to seek medical treatment and medicine, and she is willing to take any folk remedy that others recommend.
When everyone heard this, they subconsciously thought that he came to see Shu Jinyue for infertility treatment, and hurriedly advised, "Your sister's body is not good, you'd better go get a check-up. There are many reasons why you can't get pregnant. Not all cases are suitable for Chinese medicine. Some cases require surgery."
"That's right. If you don't want to have a child, it depends on the situation. If the root is damaged, it's hard to cure."
"Well, it's my fault for not explaining it clearly. My sister got pregnant after the Chinese New Year, but when she was only seven months pregnant, they started fighting again. He pushed my sister and she gave birth prematurely."
Everyone: “…”
He can even lay his hands on a pregnant woman who is over seven months pregnant. His brother-in-law is such a bad person!
Sister Qiao was filled with righteous indignation, "What about the child? Is the child okay?"
Wang Laowu looked distressed. "It was too small, not even as big as a cat. We spent half a month in the hospital trying to save it, but it eventually died."
On the day the accident happened, her mother was worried about her daughter and came to the city to check on her. She found out that she was alone at home with stomach pain and bleeding. Her brother-in-law didn't care about Xiaohong at all and went to work as if nothing had happened. His mother sent Xiaohong to the hospital, but the doctor said that the fetus could not be saved and that the premature baby had to be born, otherwise there might be two deaths. As a result, the man did not pay a penny for the cost of giving birth and rescuing the child, and it was all collected from him and his brothers. His wife had several fights with them because of this.
"The child is gone, and Xiaohong's health is completely broken. They say she can't be cured. Now the doctor wants to take her home. I remembered that Aunt Zhao said you were very good at treating illnesses, so I came to you for help."
Not to mention, although the brothers of the Wang family were violent and unreasonable, they at least loved their sister sincerely. Wang Xiaohong had the love from the whole family which many girls of this era did not have. She was beautiful, had at least a junior high school diploma, and was a substitute teacher in a village primary school...but in the end, she played such a good hand that she was in a mess. Jin Yue didn't know how to describe it.
She remembered what her second brother had said: It is difficult to persuade a damned ghost with kind words.
She really didn't want to get involved with this family, so she sincerely suggested: "If the small hospital can't cure it, you can try going to a big hospital."
Wang Laowu's mouth corners drooped, and he was ashamed: "To be honest, we really have no other choice now. First of all, Xiaohong is now in the city hospital, which is considered a big hospital. They say there is no way, and we don't know where else to go. Secondly, secondly... my family... my family has no money."
It had cost a lot of money to send Xiaohong to the hospital, and later on they had to rescue the seven-month premature baby. The brothers had almost drained their family savings. They also had wives and children of their own. They couldn't really sell all the pigs, chickens and ducks for the sake of their sister, right?
Then their own wives and children are really unlucky. Not only did this aunt bring disaster upon herself, but the key is that she also took up all the resources in the family, squeezed their living space to the limit, and finally separated them from their wives and children.
In some literary works, Wang Xiaohong is the legendary darling aunt, but in Jin Yue's opinion, it is not enough for her to suck the blood of her brothers, she also wants to suck the blood of her sister-in-law and nephew dry!
As I said, if she unfortunately fell ill unexpectedly, Jin Yue would definitely try her best, but since she asked for it, she could only respect other people's fate and not get involved in other people's cause and effect.
Of course, she didn't want to get involved, and she was also still afraid of the Wang family - these people were crazy about doting on their sister and had extreme sister control. If anything happened to Wang Xiaohong, no matter if she treated her or not, as long as she got involved, she would be responsible.
My family are all reasonable and civilized people. Comparing with them would be like a scholar meeting a soldier.
When Shu Jinyue thought of that scene, he shook his head decisively, "I really can't cure it, you should ask for help from someone else."
After that, no matter how much Wang Laowu begged, she remained indifferent.
Wang Laowu left in disappointment, but his colleagues in the street office became curious. Jin Yue was not usually such a "cold-blooded" person. Whenever they came to her, she would try her best, no matter whether she could cure the disease or not. She was also well-known for her warm-heartedness in the whole street. Why was she so abnormal today?
Secretary Liu knew something, because he was the one who went to mediate the fight between the two parties. So he described the incident vividly, and added at the end: "Jin Yue's second brother was beaten badly by them, and several of their neighbors in the compound were injured. It's only because we city people don't care, otherwise these peasants would all have to go to jail."
"Pah, this family is nothing."
"Yes, your second brother was wrongly accused by them for no reason, and he even defended their daughter's reputation, but their family has not even apologized to this day."
"It's okay if this family doesn't work out. Look how good your second brother is to his second sister-in-law now."
Shu Jinyue just smiled. If it weren't for this excitement, his second brother might not have been able to catch up with his second sister-in-law.
When Jin Yue returned home at noon, he told his family about this matter. His family members were also full of emotion. "That girl, she obviously has such big eyes, but I don't know how to see people."
"She has such good conditions and the whole family loves her. Can't she find an honest man and live a good life with him?" To be honest, although Wenming is a victim of these seven Vajras, as a girl, Xu Wenli still envies Wang Xiaohong. She has so much care and love, and she has naturally won over many girls of her generation.
"What a pity! If she hadn't been with that guy, your second sister-in-law would have to be replaced by someone else." Xu Wenli said to Jin Yue with a wink.
Shu Wenming flicked her forehead and said, "What nonsense."
"Why, if she didn't have someone in her heart, can you guarantee that you wouldn't like her? She's so pretty, and I heard that she was quite polite when you first met."
Shu Wenming glared at Shu Jinyue, "What nonsense are you talking about with her?"
Jin Yue laughed out loud. Today she perfectly demonstrated what a trouble-making sister-in-law is.
However, Xu Wenli's awkwardness only lasted for a few seconds, and she was soon distracted by the food. Jin Yue sat for a while and then hurried back to the room to review.
She is now a ruthless learning machine.
In the afternoon, Jin Yue actually received a call from Wang Hongping, "Jin Yue, I have some bad news to tell you."
Shu Jinyue's heart tightened, "You talk, I listen."
"I can't go home. My dad called and told me politely that I had no place to live. My sister-in-law's mother is sick and needs someone to take care of her. She is the only child in their family, so she has no choice but to take care of her. The old lady is living in my old room. If I go back, it will be very inconvenient to live there."
Her family is from Haicheng and lives in an alley. There are seven or eight people in only 30 square meters of living space. She used to put a small bed in the attic, which was barely a place to sleep, but now there is a paralyzed old man lying there. She can't just chase the old man away, can she? After all, her sister-in-law was very nice to them, and she didn't want to make things difficult for her brother and sister-in-law.
In order to treat her illness, the old lady sold her only cubicle, and she had no last resort.
In order to make room for their grandmother to eat, the two older nieces and nephews were forced to sleep together with their parents. The stove was right above where her parents slept, so when she went back there was no place to even stand, let alone sleep.
"I thought about it and decided not to go back for the time being. Let's wait two years."
Shu Jinyue breathed a sigh of relief, that’s great!
As long as she doesn't go back before the college entrance examination, she should be able to avoid the misfortune of her previous life.
"Sister Hongping, please read the high school textbooks when you have time. I heard someone say..." She said in a low voice, vaguely. It is already the end of September, and in less than a month, the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination will spread throughout the country. Now, there are some voices among the people, which are like "the duck knows first when the river water warms in spring".
"I started watching it the last time you mentioned it, but I don't think it's likely to recover, so I'll just treat it as a way to pass the time."
Wang Hongping is a quiet person and doesn't like to go out. She stays alone after work every day. She doesn't like to visit other people's homes or gossip. Unlike Jin Yue who used to go to the mountains, she can really calm down in the educated youth house.
Jin Yue was extremely envious when he heard that she regarded reading high school textbooks as a way to "kill time". It was no wonder that she was a top student with such a personality.
"My information is basically accurate, you should read the book quickly."
Sure enough, in October, after the newspaper published the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination, Wang Hongping called again and said that what she said was right. She also saw the newspaper in the countryside and heard the news on the brigade’s radio. The formal examination would be in two months, and because of Jin Yue’s reminder, she actually started reviewing two months earlier than everyone else!
Amid the excited and nervous shouts of all the educated youth, she had actually quietly reviewed most of the textbooks!
"Thank you Jin Yue, you are so kind to me."
Shu Jinyue smiled. Wang Hongping was a few years older than her and had joined the team earlier than her. When she first went to the countryside, she was the one who secretly helped the sixteen-year-old girl. She made her bed, taught her to cook with the country stove, lent her food, and found an old Chinese doctor for her when she was sick... She didn't dare to be nice to her openly, but she always took care of her secretly.
I will remember this love for two lifetimes.
"I just heard it from one ear, I don't know if it's true or not, but now it's confirmed to be good news. Sister Hongping must hurry up and review, nothing is more important than the college entrance examination."
Wang Hongping's family was in financial difficulty and there were no extra jobs. When a large number of educated youth returned to the city, her family had no way to recruit her to work, so she had to stay in the countryside for another year.
Seeing that the educated youth who came a few years later than her had all returned to the city, she was still working as a workhorse, going out early and coming back late every day. She envied her companions, felt confused, fearful, and helpless about the future, and the misfortunes that happened to her in her attempt to return home... How tormented she must have been in that year.
Even with such negative emotions, she was still able to get into a prestigious university, which shows that she is really a great girl who is very suitable for studying!
"Okay, don't worry. Don't worry, even if there is a place to stay at home, I won't go back for the sake of reviewing. The country and society have given us this opportunity, and I will definitely seize it."
Both girls' voices choked up.
"Sister Hongping, come on."
"Konyue, see you at the university."
After hanging up the phone, Shu Jinyue felt full of strength, as if she could study for five hours. She didn't know how Xu Duan exerted his strength in the middle. Everything seemed to be a very casual little thing, reasonable and natural, but it made Wang Hongping give up the idea of going home without any doubt.
She thought of a movie in which the protagonist was very good at creating accidents that seemed natural, and used these "accidental" events to achieve his goal of killing people.
Could Xu Duan be the kind of person who can express his own intentions in some insignificant little things?
Oh, forget it, her first priority now is to study!
After get off work, Jin Yue did not go home, but reviewed at the company. At about 12:40, Xu Duan brought her lunch.
In order to save a few minutes of going back and forth, she basically never goes home for dinner. Either her family members bring it to her, or Xu Duan brings it to her. Yao Qingqing will occasionally come and bring her some delicious food to nourish her brain.
"What are you eating today?"
Xu Duan put the aluminum lunch box on the table and washed his hands before opening the lunch box. A sweet, fragrant and soft meat smell entered Jin Yue's nose.
"Braised pork? The chef in your cafeteria is really good at cooking!"
Jin Yue closed the roll and washed his hands. He had already divided the rice into two portions, one large and one small, and placed the chopsticks in place. "Eat it. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
Jin Yue smiled as he looked at the still steaming lunch box. He didn't know how he managed to deliver it to Xinqiao Street while it was still warm. But when the weather gets colder, it will be hard to carry this lunch box. "Let my mom deliver it then. She lives close to here, so you don't have to ride a bike in such a cold weather."
Xu Duan didn't say anything. He handed the braised pork to her and picked up some potatoes to eat.
"If you are too tired, just close the clinic for a while and reopen it after the college entrance examination."
"No, those who come to see me have serious illnesses and can't wait." She can stay in seclusion for two months, but some patients can't wait for two months.
As he was speaking, there was a commotion at the door. It seemed that the security guard, Uncle Li, was talking to someone and seemed angry.
Xu Duan had good hearing, and when he heard the words "Doctor Shu", he said, "It's for you. Do you want to go see him?"
I had just finished my meal and was about to put the last grain of rice into my mouth when Uncle Li was arguing with someone at the door.
"They said Dr. Shu couldn't treat the patient, so why are you here again? How can you force someone to go see a doctor? Do you not understand what people say or what?"
Uncle Li usually has a good temper and smiles at everyone he sees, but now he is almost annoyed by the Wang family. "If you continue to do this, I will call the armed forces to deal with you. Don't blame me for being rude."
"Uncle, we are not here to cause trouble, we just want to ask Dr. Shu to help my sister."
It was still Wang Laowu who spoke, but this time there were two other members of the Wang family, all of whom had similarly ferocious faces. "Why are you being polite to this old man? Just call someone, ask Doctor Shu to come out, we..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw a stern gaze falling on their faces. It was a young man with a flat head, energetic, and a warning in his eyes.
Wang Laowu's heart skipped a beat and he kicked his brother. "If you can't speak, shut up. This comrade is... Hey, let's go find Doctor Shu. Is she here?"
Shu Jinyue stood behind Xu Duan and said, "Why are you here? I've already told you that I can't cure her disease. If the disease is delayed, your whole family will blame me. I can't bear it."
"No, no, Dr. Shu, don't worry. This time, our whole family is here to beg you. It has nothing to do with you. Even if something happens, we will bear it ourselves and will never blame you. I swear to heaven, if I cause trouble to you later, I, Wang Laowu, will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."
The other two also said quickly: "Really, we are the same. What happened that year was our fault. It has nothing to do with your second brother. We are the ones who let him down."
As angry as they were when they came, they were as dejected when they left. It was obvious that Shu Wenming was trying to protect their sister's reputation, but they didn't know what was good for them... He was obviously a very responsible gay man. If they had chosen to marry him, there wouldn't be so many problems today.
Several people kept apologizing and refused to leave.
Shu Jinyue was so annoyed that she grabbed Xu Duan who was about to chase them away and said, "Forget it. Just listen to what they say and just be perfunctory. Otherwise, if she chased them away today, they would come again tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow. It would be like a dog-skin plaster that could not be torn off. She would not even be able to read by then, which would be a greater loss.
It would be better to let them give up.
"I'll give you five minutes. Let me first tell you about Wang Xiaohong's situation."
There are only two months left until the college entrance examination, and every minute of her time now is precious!
Xu Duan didn't let them into the house and just stood at the door. Wang Laowu loudly talked about Wang Xiaohong's condition: Since she was sent to the hospital for rescue, she was normal at first. Later, when she heard that the child could not be saved, she lost the will to live. She couldn't get injections or water, and couldn't take medicine. Even if she was fed, she would spit it out. The hospital could only rely on nutritional injections to keep her alive.
"The doctor said she had heavy bleeding during childbirth. It's been forty days now, but she's still bleeding and is anemic. Many medicines have not worked. She can only be kept alive by blood transfusions, but that bastard doesn't care about her. We can't afford to support her by ourselves... The doctor suggested that we think it over carefully. If we don't plan to have another blood transfusion, we might end up..." She died soon after.
After all, the child was rescued for fifteen days and she stayed in the hospital for forty days. Such a huge expense is really too much for a rural family.
The other person was not so clear-headed and could only cry and agree.
Shu Jinyue originally just wanted to listen casually, but when she heard the doctor say that she would have to prepare for her funeral after being discharged from the hospital, she had to take it seriously. She was more concerned about professional issues: "Have you checked your coagulation function if the bleeding continues? Which indicators are abnormal? What medicines have you taken? In addition to blood transfusions, have you used any blood-enriching medicines?"
These are four questions, but the Wang brothers couldn't answer any of them. "We... don't know either. We can't read."
Shu Jinyue: “…” Well, why is she asking so many questions? Once she starts asking, she can’t let it go. She has to figure out these questions somehow.
She really wanted to slap herself twice: "Come on, lead the way, I will be back in two hours at most."
The three Wang brothers were overjoyed and hurriedly followed her. Xu Duan rode the bike with Jin Yue on it, and they ran behind to catch up. Xu Duan's speed was very fast and steady, and they were so tired that they were out of breath but still could not catch up.
"Fifth brother, what's wrong with the big brother in front? How can he run so fast? Old Liu, the hunter in our village, is not as fast as him." You know, they are already the most capable and fastest laborers in their village. As long as there is any work that involves physical strength, they all get full work points.
"He doesn't look as strong as us, but his physical strength is not bad."
How to say it, although this group of ruffians from the Wang family were suspected of being violent and aggressive, they were also most convinced by those who could defeat them in terms of fighting power. They admired Xu Duan from the bottom of their hearts. By the time they ran to the municipal hospital, they were already sweating profusely, and they kept calling Xu Duan "big brother" all the time.
Xu Duan was still cold and didn't deliberately ignore them, but he didn't respond either.
Wang Xiaohong was in the internal medicine ward, and Jin Yue was recognized as soon as he walked to the nurses' station.
"Director Jin."
Director Jin came over and said, "I was thinking it looked like you. You came to see Wang Xiaohong, right? Today, I heard them say they were going to ask a Chinese doctor to take a look, so I guessed it was you. And it turned out to be true."
Wang Xiaohong's attending physician was none other than the one who delivered Song Yingying the year before, but ended up being implicated in the Vanishing Twins Syndrome. Because Jin Yue helped her out, she was very happy to see Jin Yue now, "Doctor Shu is here."
The Wang family members greeted her as they walked along. Even Director Jin, who was usually aloof, was so warm and polite to her. They couldn't believe that a doctor from a small epidemic prevention station could have such ability. They had inexplicably gained some confidence before they even started treating the disease.
Director Jin and the attending physician followed them to the ward. Wang Xiaohong, who had not been seen for two years, was lying on the bed with a look of despair on her face. She did not even turn her head when she heard the voice, or perhaps she did not hear it at all.
Jin Yue didn't talk to her first, but took her medical records and looked at them. She was 29 weeks pregnant and 40 days postpartum. She had vaginal bleeding, severe anemia, and some hemorrhoids, which could be ignored for the time being.
The medical record clearly stated that the amount of bleeding in the 24 hours after delivery reached 800 ml, which is equivalent to the loss of one-fifth of her body's blood volume. This is already considered very serious postpartum hemorrhage, and when combined with the bleeding during delivery, it is indeed very serious.
"She suffered from hemorrhagic shock. We immediately performed blood transfusion and fluid replacement after the child was rescued, but the effect was not ideal. It lasted intermittently for more than half a month. When the child was not rescued, she began to resist treatment and her anemia became more serious."
What's more serious is that she has been bleeding for the past forty days. She is bleeding while being treated, and she is bleeding while being supplemented, but the supplements she takes in are not enough to cover the bleeding.
Generally speaking, after such a long time after delivery, most of the lochia has gradually cleared up, and if it continues for more than three weeks, it is called persistent lochia. But she has been bleeding for forty days, and it is fresh blood, like a faucet that can't be closed tightly, dripping water all the time. She will definitely suffer from anemia over time. Unfortunately, the effects of blood transfusions and blood-replenishing drugs are not ideal. She has tried both Chinese and Western blood-replenishing drugs.
Director Jin sighed, saying that what was replenished was not as much as what leaked out, which was a difficult problem. This patient is not the most serious case in their department at the moment. Other cases of heart failure and cerebral hemorrhage sound much more serious than this one. She will not die immediately, but her prognosis is indeed not good and the outcome is already determined.
He is worried.
Apart from family members, the people in the world who least want patients to die are doctors.
"At present, we are taking blood transfusion and hemostasis at the same time, but the hemoglobin still cannot be raised and the vaginal bleeding has not stopped."
Due to too frequent treatments during this period, Wang Xiaohong's arms can no longer accommodate needles. This is not a solution. Jin Yue thought about it and felt that the problems had to be solved separately, either stop the bleeding first or replenish the blood first.
As for stopping the bleeding, there are only a few reasons why lochia continues to flow. As soon as she thought of it, the doctor in charge blocked her train of thought: "The uterus has recovered well, so it should not be a problem of incomplete recovery."
She handed over the examination forms one by one. Jin Yue checked them carefully and found that there was indeed no such problem. There were no placenta, fetal membranes or other intrauterine residues, and no factors of infection such as endometritis and myometritis. The three largest and most common causes were also ruled out. What was even more bizarre was that even the coagulation function was normal!
"This is bleeding of unknown cause." Director Jin muttered beside him, "Doctor Yishu, what's your opinion? How should we deal with this?"
Shu Jinyue didn't say anything. She read all the medical records and examination lists during this period, including body temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, urination and defecation records, etc., to make sure there was nothing abnormal, and then she looked at Wang Xiaohong.
"do you remember me?"
Wang Xiaohong shook her head, not sure whether she was saying she didn't remember or she didn't want to answer the question.
Shu Jinyue sat down beside her bed, "Let me tell you, I still remember you. My second brother is called Shu Wenming. He was introduced to you by Aunt Zhao from Liuye Hutong. He once met you in People's Park for a blind date, but you didn't like him. Later, you took the initiative to ask to meet him and used him to cover for you..."
"Stop talking." Wang Xiaohong's eyes were red, her voice was extremely hoarse, and her lips were so pale that there was no blood at all.
"If you hadn't asked him to cover for you at that time, and if you hadn't met with the paper mill worker, would you not be lying here now, and wouldn't you have lost the child you had so hard to get?"
Wang Xiaohong's tears rolled down her cheeks. She didn't dare to think about the "what if". She didn't dare to think about it at all during the two years of marriage with quarrels every day and no sense of happiness. She would regret it as soon as she thought about it. If she could have a chance to start over, she would definitely beat to death the love-brained self of that year.
Just like what the other people in the Wang family thought, if she had chosen Shu Wenming, would she be living a different life now?
"Does your second brother hit people?"
"Yes, he beat their leader who behaved like a gangster, but he never beat a woman, let alone his own wife."
Wang Xiaohong smiled bitterly, yes, what a good man he is.
"I can also tell you that my second brother not only didn't beat my second sister-in-law, but was also very kind to her. My second sister-in-law once had a serious illness, and he used all his savings to help her with treatment. Everyone advised him that it was an incurable disease and he should give up, otherwise he would lose both his money and his life in the future. After all, they were not married at that time, and were just in an ordinary relationship."
"But my second brother not only didn't listen, he also borrowed money from everywhere to let my second sister-in-law use the best imported medicine and the best care. He got up early every day just to cook a pot of porridge for my second sister-in-law."
Wang Xiaohong was curious, "Then your second sister-in-law is really lucky. Did she recover from her illness?"
"No, although he tried his best, his condition still worsened. But when he knew that his disease was getting worse, he got married to my second sister-in-law on the first day the Civil Affairs Bureau opened for work after the Chinese New Year. He thought that if my second sister-in-law's disease could not be cured, he would accompany her through the last part of her journey as a lover."
Jin Yue didn’t think much of it before, but now when he recalls and talks about it, he actually feels a little touched. Maybe people always tend to overlook the little shining points around them.
Although the second brother had many shortcomings and was even annoying at times, she really didn't want to pay attention to him when she was just reborn, but he proved with his actions that he was not a bad person.
What's more, what she didn't say was that in order to maintain the stability of his second sister-in-law's condition, he was determined not to have children and secretly underwent a sterilization operation. In this era, very few men can do this.
Of course, we decided not to tell the Wang family about this. If they let Aunt Zhao know, the whole Liuye Hutong might know about it. My second brother has such a strong sense of self-esteem, and I’m afraid he’ll go crazy.
Even so, Wang Xiaohong was already crying, "I really regret why I did that back then, back then..."
"Actually, let me tell you the truth. Even if you had chosen my second brother, he would not have chosen you. You two are not suitable, but at least you would not have to marry your current husband and suffer so much." Jin Yue looked out the window. "Under the protection of your parents, brothers and sisters-in-law, you would have picked an honest man and lived a warm life that was not rich. You would have one or two children, and the children would have seven uncles who loved them."
“Stop talking… wuwu…”
The Queen Mother burst into tears, hugging her daughter who was crying uncontrollably, "Hongni'er, why are you, why are you... Hongni'er, you want to kill me!"
Shu Jinyue didn't say anything. After the mother and daughter finished crying and gradually calmed down, he said, "But if you regret it, it's not too late to turn back now. Men are like clothes. If this one doesn't look good, don't wear it. You can throw it away and change it. There will always be one that suits you."
She really thought so, so when Qingqing was cheated on by a mistress, she just felt sorry for her unfortunate life, but she didn't feel sad about the matter itself. Falling in love is such a simple thing, if this one doesn't work, you can just find another one.
In fact, Wang Xiaohong has been comforted by such words from her family many times in the past few days, but this metaphor of "men are like clothes" was the first time she heard it, and she was a little stunned.
"Think about it, before you married him, you had a lot of clothes. What would you do if you came across something you didn't like?"
"I will give it away and then buy a new one." Her family has loved her since she was a child. She is the only girl in their village who has new clothes every year. The clothes of her seven brothers combined are not as many as she has.
"So do you want to go back to the days before you got married? If so, you don't have to do anything. Your parents and your brothers will help you. You just need to throw away a piece of clothing you don't like."
It’s best not to give it as a gift. This kind of junk should never be circulated in the blind date market.
The Wang family's eyes lit up. This was a simple and clear statement. They had advised Xiaohong to divorce eight hundred times, but Xiaohong would not listen to a word she said. But now they suddenly found that there was a light in Xiaohong's eyes!
That's all, let her figure out the rest herself. Shu Jinyue still said the same thing, it's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words, if she really doesn't want to live, no matter how much he says, it's useless.
She grabbed her wrist and began to feel her pulse.
In fact, she had observed during the conversation just now that Wang Xiaohong had typical anemia symptoms, with both qi and blood deficiency, but fortunately there was no sign of blood stasis and her pulse was also fine. In traditional Chinese medicine theory, there are three types of situations in which lochia does not stop: Qi deficiency, blood heat and blood stasis. At present, she should be considered the first type.
In this case, in addition to replenishing qi and absorbing blood, it is also necessary to add some medicines that have good hemostatic effects and do not leave blood stasis. Shenghua Tang, Buzhong Yiqi Tang, and Baoyin Jian, which are commonly used in clinical practice, have all been tried, but to no avail.
Of course, these three prescriptions were also left by Jin Yue for Director Jin, thinking that they would come in handy in case he was not around one day.
The usage and dosage were also correct. Jin Yue felt that he didn't need to think about the compound anymore. Instead, there was something he could try - "Do you have Nepeta in your mountains?"
Seeing the Wang family members looking confused, Jin Yue briefly described the appearance and smell of Nepeta tenuifolia, and the Queen's mother responded, "Yes, yes, yes, we country folk call it false sedge. When you have a cold, boil it in water and drink it, and it will heal faster."
Jin Yue nodded. Yes, Zhao Wanqiu had asked her about it before. It was called false sedge grass. "Pick some of this stuff and dry it in the sun. Clean the pot and fry it until it turns black and burnt. Then mash it and drink it with water. Eat a piece that's the size of a fingernail each time and eat it three times a day."
Nepeta charcoal has a good hemostatic effect, is easy to obtain, and has almost no cost. "Director Jin, you guys should continue to treat it as you did. How about a two-pronged approach?"
Director Jin had been listening for so long and was just admiring Shu Jinyue's courage to stimulate the patient. When he was suddenly called, he naturally agreed, "Will taking this Nepeta charcoal conflict with our blood transfusion and fluid replacement?"
“No conflict.”
Director Jin was finally relieved. Seeing that Wang Xiaohong was no longer resisting, he immediately asked for blood to be brought up.
"Doctor Shu, do you not need to prescribe medicine?" Wang Laowu was still worried.
"No need. If she really wants to survive, she can survive on her own. If she doesn't want to live, it's useless to keep her alive with ginseng every day." Shu Jinyue stood up and prepared to leave.
"But, but...I...she..."
Shu Jinyue did not look back. For those who were determined to die, such as Kang Yuqiong at the beginning and Ma Xiaomei later, she really needed to find a way to correct their thoughts, whether it was by playing tricks or provoking them, but Wang Xiaohong didn't need her to do anything.
She doesn't have any defects that cannot be changed. Kang Yuqiong has lived in a wheelchair all her life, unable to take care of herself, and has no dignity at all; Ma Xiaomei has never attended school for a single day and is called a little fool, even her own father despises her. Their defects are objective physical defects and cannot be eliminated or changed no matter how hard they try. But what about Wang Xiaohong?
Isn't he just a scumbag? If she can't even bear this little blow, then if she encounters a bigger blow in the future, she will still seek death.
I could save her once, but I couldn’t save her the second or third time.
To put it bluntly, compared with Kang Yuqiong and Ma Xiaomei, she is nothing and does not deserve sympathy.
***
Over the next half month, Jin Yue found her second brother more and more pleasing to the eye. She used to think he was short, had a long face, and had a sharp tongue, but now these shortcomings didn't seem to matter.
Compared to that paper mill worker, his second brother is so handsome!
"Why are you looking at me? There's nothing wrong with my face." Shu Wenming touched his chin and suddenly came over. "We went to look at a house today."
"Goldfish Alley?"
When he saw Shu Wenyun come in, he didn't say anything, just nodded.
Seeing that they were playing dumb in front of her again, Shu Wenyun gave a bitter smile and walked away tactfully. She brought this upon herself.
"How is it, do you like it?"
"Well, your second sister-in-law likes it, but I think it's too small. But there's nothing I can do. The family has been transferred to Beijing for work and will never come back. They are in a hurry to sell it. I said I would come back and think about it first, and he immediately gave me another 50 yuan."
I am so happy today, the purchase is done!
"Second brother, you have made great progress. Now you also own a courtyard house in Jinyu Hutong."
Shu Wenming crossed his legs and said, "I'm exhausted from working so hard every day. You have medical skills, Wenyun can read, and my brother can write articles, but I can't do anything."
"No, you are number one in eating."
"You're so weird. I don't want to bother with you."
Jin Yue didn't chat with him either. She hadn't finished her work yet. She was delayed for a while at the hospital today, so she had to read quickly.
The kang in the old house was lit early, and she didn't go back to her room, but just read her own book on the kang. Shu Wenming was tactful and didn't disturb her. He and Xu Wenli read a novel beside her with relish. Xu Wenli was responsible for eating melon seeds, and he was responsible for turning the pages of the book. If he turned too fast or too slow, Wenli would pinch him.
Teacher Shu and Zhao Wanqiu were in the kitchen, saying they were going to make malt sugar.
The malt was soaked a few days ago and put together with the glutinous rice the day before yesterday, and a full basin of syrup was made, which was milky white and sweet.
Zhao Wanqiu added some firewood to the stove, and Teacher Shu poured a large basin of sugar water into the big iron pot and stirred it slowly.
"Your hands are sore, let me do it."
Teacher Shu shook his head, "It's okay, you should take a rest. You must be tired from seeing patients during the day."
Jin Yue is busy reviewing now. When everyone heard that she was going to take the college entrance examination, they all went to Zhao Wanqiu if they had any problems, and then went to her if she couldn't solve the problem.
"Well, I'm used to it. In the past few years, I had so much idleness that my back and waist ached. In the past two years, I've been busy and feel refreshed." Zhao Wanqiu sighed, "This is my miserable life. I can't enjoy myself for a single day."
Shu Linong patted her shoulder and said, "Look at what you said."
The love between couples who get married later in life is certainly not as good as that between the original couple, but taking care of each other and supporting each other is also a kind of affection.
Zhao Wanqiu remembered that when Jin Yue was a child, she was often on duty and was very busy with work. Shu Linong took care of the child every day, cooked for her, washed her clothes, taught her to do her homework, and washed her hair and braided her hair. This was also the reason why she decided to live with him.
Jin Yue needs a father who will take care of her.
The two chatted incessantly, and before they knew it, more than two hours had passed. It was almost dark, and the yard was filled with the strong aroma of maltose.
"Aunt Shu, what delicious food do you make again?"
"maltose."
"Wow, sugar!"
"Let me smell it, let me smell it, mmm so sweet!"
The wheat was actually sent by the Wang family to Shu Wenming as an apology. Zhao Wanqiu didn't want to accept it, but Shu Wenming insisted that he must accept it. He was blamed and punched that year, so accepting more than 20 kilograms of wheat from them was nothing. They should have compensated him long ago.
After it cools down slowly, sprinkle a little glutinous rice flour on the clean and dried chopping board, pour the particularly thick malt sugar on it, and keep rubbing and kneading it into long strips. The old couple each pulls one end and starts pulling it hard.
The children watched with great interest...and drooled.
However, after it cooled and solidified, Zhao Wanqiu used a kitchen knife to cut it into small pieces the size of a thumb tip and gave one piece to each person.
The children were reluctant to chew it directly, so they held it in their mouths and ate it slowly.
“How sweet!”
"Thank you Aunt Shu!"
"Grandma Shu is so nice!"
Jin Yue and his siblings also ate it in the house. The sweetness of malt sugar is different from the fruit candies and White Rabbit candies bought from the store. It is the kind of pure sweetness with the fragrance of wheat, without any impurities.
The Shu family’s life is like this jar of malt sugar. Although it is bitter and tiring to boil it, it is always sweet in the end, isn’t it?
And when Shu Jinyue finished eating this can of malt sugar, he walked into the college entrance examination hall in 1977.
