Twenty days ago, Fu Qiumei was taken all the way from Zaojiazhuang to the county hospital by her son on a wooden cart, which took two full days to get there.
Because the odor on them was so bad, no one was within three meters of them.
Anyone who saw them had to cover their noses and stay away, causing Li Datian, who did not have any ulcers, to be covered with a strange smell.
When the few people arrived at the hospital, they were like they were fleeing and were almost driven away by the hospital security department.
It was not until Fu Qiumei and Li Dacheng revealed the wounds on their bodies that people at the scene almost vomited.
The hospital security guard who was closest to them vomited out the overnight meal.
If it is just simple ulceration and pus discharge, even if it is on a large area, it will at most make people feel disgusted.
But maggots had grown in their festering areas, and were twisting their soft bodies and squirming constantly on their arms and thighs.
This was the first time they had seen maggots on a living person. No wonder the smell on the body was so pungent, like a rotten smell.
Fu Qiumei hadn't rolled up her trouser legs to check her wounds for the past two days, but she didn't expect that maggots would appear.
I felt so sick and scared that I kept shouting and screaming, and I completely collapsed.
Li Dacheng also shouted loudly for the doctor, and his expression had never been so panicked.
In the hall, everyone avoided them for fear of being infected. Even Li Datian vomited due to the disgust of his mother and second brother's wounds.
Since I hadn’t eaten anything in the morning, I could only vomit out some acid water.
He got goose bumps when he thought about the physical contact he had with his mother in the past two days.
The hospital lobby was filled with a foul stench, causing patients who were about to go in for examinations to turn around and leave.
Fearing that the bad smell from the two people would affect the patients and their families, the hospital arranged for a doctor to come and examine them.
The selected doctor put on several masks and took them to the emergency room for examination.
If the hospital didn't have civilized regulations that prevented patients from being kicked out, they really wouldn't want to treat such patients.
How unhygienic one must be to let his body rot and become infested with maggots!
Even though they were wearing masks, they were almost vomiting from the smell. If this patient continued to be treated, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to eat for a day.
After various examinations, it was finally discovered that the nerves in their hands and legs had been completely damaged.
At this time, Fu Qiumei and Li Dacheng had no feeling in their legs and hands, so it was impossible to cure them.
The only treatment is amputation. Otherwise, even if you scrape off their rotten flesh, all that's left is bones, and no new flesh will grow.
If left untreated, the festering wounds will spread throughout the body, and the body will then be filled with maggots, and the person will have no choice but to wait to die at home.
After hearing what the doctor said, Fu Qiumei's face turned pale and she fainted from fright.
Although Li Dacheng did not faint, he was dumbfounded and could not accept this fact.
The doctor didn't have time to waste with them, so he asked them to give a quick answer as to whether they wanted to have their limbs amputated or not. If not, they could go back!
They collapsed, didn't they?
The thought of having such an operation made my stomach churn.
In order to save his life, Li Dacheng had no choice but to choose amputation.
Although he didn't know medicine, he knew that his hand was infested with maggots and it was impossible to keep the hand intact.
The next day, the hospital arranged surgery for the mother and child.
The amputated hands and feet of the two people were already full of maggots. The doctors and nurses in the operating room completed the operation while suppressing the urge to vomit.
But after the surgery, they all vomited collectively, it was so fucking gross.
They were able to endure the vomiting after the surgery last night, which shows that they were very strong inside.
After the operation, Fu Qiumei and Li Dacheng stayed in the hospital for another half a month.
Originally, they would have had to stay in the hospital for at least a week given their condition, but Fu Qiumei felt sorry for the money and thought that the wound had already scabbed over, so it would be the same if they went home to recuperate, so she asked the eldest brother to go through the discharge procedures.
During this hospitalization, the two spent a total of more than 260 yuan in the hospital, which used up most of the money that Fu Qiumei had saved over the years.
Fu Qiumei's heart was bleeding, but fortunately her life was saved.
But from now on, she will have to walk with crutches.
When they got home, they were surrounded by people.
"Mom, what's wrong with your leg? And why is my second brother's hand gone too?" Li Danan exclaimed in shock. He is Fu Qiumei's youngest son and is not married yet.
"It's that damn Zhou Xia. Our Li family is so unlucky that we married her. If it weren't for her, would your second brother and I have ended up like this?
She must have infected us, and now I wish she died outside, or else I would peel off her skin if I saw her." Fu Qiumei gritted her teeth and said, wishing she could eat Zhou Xia alive.
Speaking of Zhou Xia, Li Dacheng clenched his fists and said, "This damn woman gave birth to two daughters. One became a member of the Qin family, and the other was born a freak. She has ruined the reputation of our family.
Now I can't live in peace after leaving. I really want to strangle her to death for making me and my mom like this."
In their eyes, Zhou Xia was the culprit for their behavior.
"She hasn't come back since she left during the Chinese New Year, nor has she returned to her parents' home. I think there's an 80% chance that she died outside." The speaker was the eldest son's wife.
"Hmph, it would be better if she died outside!" Fu Qiumei snorted coldly. She had never liked this daughter-in-law.
So even if she really died, she wouldn't be sad at all.
Little did they know that the Zhou Xia they were talking about was already in the Demon City, thousands of miles away.
During the Chinese New Year, she suffered from unbearable stomach pain and had to beg on the road to raise money for her medical treatment.
But the money he begged was either one or two cents, not enough to fill his stomach, let alone treat his illness.
Later, a kind-hearted man felt sorry for her and sent her directly to the hospital and paid her medical expenses.
After being discharged from the hospital, Zhou Xia followed the man to Shanghai to repay him for saving her life, and is currently working in his store.
Her life is now very fulfilling. Dealing with different customers every day has made her bolder.
Only then did she realize how weak she was in the past, and that her weakness ruined her two daughters.
Her little daughter had died, and she had no way to make amends. Now she just wanted to work hard in this big city and make a lot of money to make up for her guilt towards Daya.
Even if she didn't forgive herself, she, as a mother, could no longer just talk without taking any practical action as she did before.
No wonder Daya hated her to that extent. She also hated her former self immensely.
As for the Li family, she hated her mother-in-law and her husband, and she would never forgive them in her life.
