Li Jiyue rode her new bicycle back to the family compound.
A soldier's wife passed by the family compound and saw that her car was loaded with a bunch of things. The basket, the front of the car, and the back seat were all full.
"Captain Fu's wife, why are you buying so many things?"
My sister-in-law had a smile on her face and looked very kind.
Li Jiyue nodded. "Yes, we need to buy a lot of things when we move to a new house. Sister-in-law, you can call me Jiyue. Yueji is my name when you write it backwards."
The sister-in-law said, "Ji Yue, your name is really nice. It's only cultured people who know how to choose names."
Unlike their generation, who were all named Xiang, Gui, Zhen, Mei, Lan, and Juan, there were many Gui and Zhen in their compound, and there were people with the same name, but fortunately their surnames were different.
Yu Tingwan also knew this sister-in-law. Her husband was the deputy battalion commander of the regiment, Du Juan.
This sister-in-law had no hostility towards them and even wanted to make friends with them.
The three of them chatted for a few minutes, as Du Juan still had to go to school to pick up her children.
The two of them carried the things upstairs, and there were children playing and running in the corridor.
When I walked to the second floor, I suddenly saw a child squatting on the balcony, holding his chest and vomiting, "Ugh, ugh..."
“Cough cough cough…”
Li Jiyue was deeply impressed by this child. She followed her parents crying yesterday.
The girl was only five years old and her hair was cut very short, only one centimeter long. It was probably because she had shaved her head for convenience and the hair had grown back. There was a big bump on the back of her head.
She was studying medicine and could see her symptoms at a glance: she had hit the back of her head and was vomiting, which looked like a concussion, so she needed to go to the hospital for a check-up.
The sister-in-law who lived next door heard the noise and looked out, and quickly shouted, "Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao's wife, your child has vomited, come out and take a look."
Zhu Xiujuan, who was in the house, heard it and responded, "Go ahead and vomit. I'm packing my things and don't have time."
"The vomit needs to be cleaned up promptly, otherwise everyone will be walking around smelling the smell... which isn't good either."
Zhu Xiujuan's expression flashed with impatience, "Daya, go out and take a look."
Ten-year-old Daya is cleaning with her.
Daya responded, put down the rag in her hand and went out, "Okay, Mom."
Li Jiyue asked, "Daya, was the big bump on the back of your third sister's head caused by a bump?"
Daya patted her sister's back and turned to look at her. She recognized this beautiful woman.
My mother said that she had taken away their big house, leaving the four sisters without a bed and having to sleep on the floor in the living room.
She hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "...Yes!"
"She vomited for no apparent reason. This could be a concussion... meaning she was hit by an external force, causing a temporary confusion and shutdown of brain function, leading to symptoms like vomiting and dizziness."
"Really? What should I do? My third sister told me yesterday that she felt dizzy."
"Tell your parents to take your sister to the military hospital for a checkup."
Daya exclaimed softly, "Going to the hospital?"
Going to the hospital costs money, and my mother may not agree, and she may even get angry and hit me.
Li Jiyue said in a serious tone, "Yes, you must go to the hospital. Go early and get treatment. The longer you delay, the worse it will get."
"Why go to the hospital? Going to the hospital is so expensive. How can a little girl be so expensive? Just vomit. Everyone has vomited before. It will be fine after vomiting."
"Xiaoyue, forget it. Even as a mother, she loves her daughter dearly. We outsiders can't do anything about it. Whether she lives or dies is none of our business."
"Hey, how dare you talk like that? You dare to curse your daughter? You will die. My daughter will definitely grow up safely and be filial to me and take care of me in my old age."
"How else can I say this?"
"Sister-in-law Xiujuan, the child hit the back of his head and is also dizzy and vomiting. It's most likely a concussion. Only when the child grows up safely can you provide for your retirement. Think about it carefully."
Li Jiyue knew that she was hostile to her, and it would be useless for her to say more, and it would even have a counterproductive effect.
As soon as they reached the third floor and had not yet entered the house, they heard Zhu Xiujuan cursing.
"Isn't it just a big swelling? Just go home and apply some medicinal wine. Why go to the hospital? It's free. Your father only makes a few dozen yuan a month. In addition to supporting the six of us, he also has to send money back home. I already had two daughters.
Your grandparents thought my nose wasn't a nose, my eyes weren't eyes, who knew the third child would be a girl? I left you at the gate, but I couldn't bear to pick you up. You should be grateful, stop causing trouble, and work hard to make money for me and your brother. I couldn't bear to go to the hospital when I was sick..."
Zhu Xiujuan carried the child back home who had just finished vomiting and was still coughing.
After putting the things down at the door, Li Jiyue took out the key and opened the door, but she hadn't finished scolding him yet.
Yu Tingwan's anger rose as she listened, "How can there be such parents in this world? This is too much. Doesn't their daughter become a human being? I raised my daughter well and she's filial, but you have to be partial to her. You're sick."
Li Jiyue advised, "Don't be angry. This kind of thing is very normal in this era. It's difficult to change their minds."
She used to live in the Lin family. In the countryside, most girls were worthless and had to work from a young age, doing housework and farm work. When they grew up, they would get married in exchange for a dowry for their son to find a wife.
For children born in such families, the help from outsiders will not last forever, unless the children grow up to be financially independent and resist the oppression and exploitation of their relatives.
"Yueyue, what should we do? Are we just going to ignore the child? Will he die from a concussion?"
Li Jiyue thought of Liu Hongying whom she met this morning, "Will the Women's Federation take care of it?"
Yu Tingwan asked, "Do you want Sister Hongying to come forward?"
Li Jiyue thought for a moment and said, "It's not easy for us to intervene, so this is the only way. I'll ask our Captain Fu tonight. That child has a hard life, so we'll do our best to help."
