A few days before the end of the month, the couple came again. This time, the woman looked delighted. Although she was still domineering, she was more cautious. The man supported her, just like a eunuch in the palace serving his master, not only cautiously but also nervously.
Tao Xiaoxi was taking someone's pulse when a woman came forward and tried to cut in line.
Tao Xiaoxi ignored her.
The woman was about to shout, but Tao Xiaoxi winked at the girl with pockmarks. The girl with pockmarks called the handyman in the backyard, and stood in the lobby with a knife for chopping medicine in his hand.
The woman shut up and composed herself, "Doctor Tao, I'm pregnant. Please prescribe me some more medication to maintain my pregnancy."
"Get in line." Tao Xiaoxi said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, queue up. I'm so happy that I can't wait to tell you the news. I'm not anxious, I'm queueing up." The woman glanced at the guy with the knife, meaning that you can go back, I'm not here to smash the store.
When it was finally the woman's turn, she held her waist exaggeratedly and sat down on the stool. "Doctor Tao, do you think I'm not fit to walk anymore? Should I lie down all day? This is my first pregnancy, I have no experience, could you please teach me?"
"Then you've asked the right person. I have experience."
"Then tell me about it." The woman asked attentively.
Tao Xiaoxi glanced at the man next to him. He seemed very calm and didn't have the excitement of becoming a father for the first time, at least not as obvious as a woman.
"Eat small meals frequently, maintain a normal schedule, exercise appropriately, and avoid taking too much tonic food." Tao Xiaoxi reminded.
"It's not very nourishing?" The woman was genuinely surprised. "My father just killed a sheep for me and is planning to kill a pig next month."
"What does your family do?" Tao Xiaoxi couldn't help but ask.
"My name is Qian Tiehua. I have a small farm at home where we raise some cows, sheep, pigs, etc. Doctor Tao, next time I will bring you a sheep. The goat's milk can be very nutritious." The woman promised.
"That's not necessary. Tell your father not to slaughter the pigs and sheep yet. Be careful in the first three months and eat normally. Don't overeat."
"Oh, you can't eat too much." The woman said embarrassedly.
"Now you believe it, right? I told you not to eat so much, but you didn't listen to me." The standing man finally couldn't help but mutter.
The woman glared at him and said, "You are so smart, you can talk without any worries. It turns out that you are not the one who is pregnant. Besides, I am not eating your food."
The man was choked to death and dared not speak again.
A typical henpecked husband, but the man may not really obey her.
After Tao Xiaoxi prescribed some pregnancy-maintaining medicine, the man supported the woman and walked away, hunching his waist and back like a servant.
It may not last long, Tao Xiaoxi thought.
"Why does this woman still live and eat at her parents' house after getting married and pregnant?" The girl with pockmarks was puzzled.
"It's a marriage that requires marriage, otherwise this woman wouldn't dare to act so bossy." Tao Xiaoxi said.
"There is such a thing?!" The girl with pockmarks was shocked.
"Didn't your father want Liang Hengsheng to marry into the family? Have you forgotten?" Tao Xiaoxi knew how to rub salt into someone's wounds.
The pockmarked girl blushed, stamped her foot, and stopped talking.
"But Liang Hengsheng is definitely not like that." Tao Xiaoxi added unexpectedly.
"Stop talking!" The pockmarked girl stomped her feet again in anger.
Tao Xiaoxi laughed heartily, enjoying herself greatly.
If things had continued to develop in this way, everyone would have been happy, but as mentioned before, things don't always go as we wish.
The sheep had not been brought in yet. One night a few months later, the clinic was closed. The girl with pockmarks usually lived in the clinic. She had just finished washing and was about to go to bed when she suddenly heard a rapid knock on the door. It didn't sound like someone asking for medical treatment, but more like someone seeking revenge. The force was so strong that it almost knocked the door down.
The girl with pockmarks didn't dare to open the door and asked who it was through the door.
There was chattering outside the door, and then I could hear that it was a group of people.
"Open the door, or we'll tear down your clinic!" the people outside shouted.
The girl with pockmarks realized that something had happened and quickly called Tao Xiaoxi. Li Nanshan answered the phone and said he would come immediately.
Tao Xiaoxi had just come out of the shower when she asked who it was. Li Nanshan looked serious, took the car keys and walked towards the door, "You stay home, I'll go check. Someone is causing trouble at the clinic."
Tao Xiaoxi pulled Li Nanshan aside and said, "I'm going too."
On the way, Tao Xiaoxi's right eyelid kept twitching, making her upset.
When they arrived at the clinic, her shop was the only one with lights on in the whole street. The door was smashed open, leaving a huge hole. The pockmarked girl was holding a guillotine in her hand, staring at the group of people at the door with a fierce look.
They were not targeting her, Tao Xiaoxi immediately realized, otherwise they would not let her stand there.
"Who are you? I have already called the police." Tao Xiaoxi got out of the car and was about to step forward.
Immediately, those people aimed at Tao Xiaoxi, and the weapons in their hands flashed coldly under the light.
Li Nanshan stood in front of his wife, protecting her with one hand. "The police will be here soon. I urge everyone not to be impulsive. If you have any problems, just talk about them. There is nothing that cannot be solved. If you want money, we have it. If you want your life, we will also pay for it."
"Well said!" Tao Xiaoxi couldn't help but praise.
"Focus!" Li Nanshan scolded in a low voice.
The group of people seemed to be really frightened, and they didn't dare to go forward.
"Brothers, all the Tiehua people are gone. It has been a rule since ancient times that if someone kills someone, they must pay with their life. Even if the king of heaven comes, the same principle will still apply. What are you afraid of? Don't be afraid. If anything goes wrong, I, Qian Tieniu, will take care of it."
"I, Qian Tieyang, will carry it."
"And I, Qian Tiema, will take care of it."
The third son of the Qian family was as strong as an ox. He drank cow's milk and goat's milk as water since he was a child. He had a daughter, Tiehua, and he doted on her so much that he was reluctant to marry her off, so he found a son-in-law who lived with the family.
Sweat broke out on Tao Xiaoxi and Li Nanshan's foreheads.
Fortunately, the police car arrived, otherwise the group of people would have really surrounded them. It is hard to imagine what a group of people could do when led by a brother who dotes on his sister and is controlled by the emotion of revenge.
Tao Xiaoxi finally figured out what was going on. Qian Tiehua, the woman who had been staying with her to protect her pregnancy, suddenly had lower abdominal pain and bleeding in the afternoon. She was already dead when she was sent to the hospital. The doctor initially determined that it was heavy bleeding caused by miscarriage. The Qian family showed the pregnancy-protecting medicine to the doctor and found safflower in it.
"This is absolutely impossible. I have a medical license and I operate legally. I have cured hundreds, if not thousands, of patients. I can't possibly put safflower in pregnancy-preserving medicine. I can't ruin my own reputation!" Tao Xiaoxi declared.
"You prescribed this medicine, right? You wrote the prescription yourself! You still want to deny it. You black-hearted businessman, are you worthy of being a doctor? Today I will make you pay with your life." The speaker was Qian Tiema, Qian Tiehua's third brother.
"Two lives!" The second brother Qian Tieyang clenched his fists so hard that they made a clattering sound.
Tao Xiaoxi pulled Li Nanshan and tried to get closer to the police. A wise man would not suffer a loss in front of him. This group of people were irrational now, so she had to hide away for now.
