Chapter 121: Forcing Someone to Vomit to Death

Page 1/3

Chun Ya was sobbing uncontrollably, her breath coming in short gasps as she said, “Mom… Mom’s baby is gone. At the clinic, she lost a lot of blood. The doctor said she needs surgery at the city hospital, but Dad won’t agree.”

After speaking, she looked repeatedly at Lu Yan. “Could Uncle Lu talk to my dad? I know Uncle Lu is a leader; everyone listens to him.”

Lu Yan rubbed his forehead. Just then, Shen Qingyi said, “This is a matter of life and death. We should go see her right away.”

“All right, I’ll go get the car first!” Lu Yan didn’t want to explain his leadership position anymore.

Shen Qingyi called after him, “Send someone to drive her there.”

Lu Yan looked at her with clear eyes without saying a word, but Shen Qingyi understood his meaning. “You should rest!”

He had just recovered from a fever yesterday and had just caught a thief stealing clothes; he must be very tired.

“I’ll accompany you,” Lu Yan said, having just dealt with that scoundrel, still uneasy.

But thinking of his wife’s concern, he felt an inexplicable happiness.

Without waiting for Shen Qingyi to say more, he turned and left.

Feng Erqiu lay pale on the hospital bed, while Doctor Zhao was talking to Liu Yong. “We don’t have the facilities for surgery here. She must be transferred immediately to the city hospital.”

Liu Yong held Er Ya firmly, unmoving. “Many women in our village give birth at home. Why make such a fuss over a miscarriage?”

Feng Erqiu’s face was deathly pale; she gritted her teeth, sweat pouring from her forehead. “Doctor, please prescribe some medicine. Whether I live or die, I won’t blame you.”

Doctor Zhao shot a stern look at Liu Yong. “With a man like you, why bother having a child?”

Sighing deeply, he called out to the intern in the next room, Xiao Wu, “Go apply for a vehicle at the office.”

Xiao Wu hurried out. “If we wait for the approval, it could take a day at best, a week at worst. Can this woman still survive that long? I’ll look around the neighboring village for a tractor or something, pay someone to take her.”

Liu Yong, still clutching Er Ya, stood abruptly. “My wife told you to give her medicine. What’s with all this fuss?”

Doctor Zhao took a deep breath and looked at Feng Erqiu’s pale face. “Don’t listen to him. I ask you, do you want us to save you? If yes, while you’re still conscious, sign here. I’ll send Xiao Wu to find help.”

Feng Erqiu’s lips trembled. She glanced at the child in Liu Yong’s arms and asked, “Where’s Chun Ni?”

Liu Yong answered, “She went back to cook.”

Feng Erqiu’s heart sank. In such a situation, he couldn’t even spare a moment to get two meals from the canteen. Chun Ni was only six years old.

She could already imagine the fate awaiting her two daughters if she died.

“I’ll sign. As long as I get better, I will repay your great kindness.” Feng Erqiu said.

Doctor Zhao quickly prepared a waiver form. After Feng Erqiu stamped her fingerprint on it, he placed it before her.

Liu Yong said, “Let me tell you, I can’t afford the surgery. Even a trip to the clinic costs five or six yuan. I don’t know what you’ve been messing around with at home, but you couldn’t even save the child. What a waste of money.”

Doctor Zhao’s forehead wrinkled deeply with anger. “She’s been severely malnourished for a long time, exhausted from hard labor and mental stress. It’s a miracle if she could deliver successfully. You earn a decent wage every month but can’t even take care of your wife, yet you expect her to bear you a son?”

He was annoyed just looking at such a man but couldn’t help speaking out.

He put away the waiver and told Xiao Wu, “Go find a vehicle right away.”

Just as Xiao Wu stepped outside, he saw a black jeep parked at the entrance. Excited, he rushed back inside. “There’s a car! There’s a car!”

Doctor Zhao heard and asked, “What kind of car?”

“It’s the official vehicle assigned to Engineer Lu.”

Lu Yan? Doctor Zhao’s eyes lit up. “Send his wife here immediately.”

Why Shen Qingyi? Because by now, he knew Lu Yan’s personality well—it wasn’t easy to deal with him. The only way to get him to cooperate quickly was probably through his wife.

He had met Shen Qingyi a few times; she was easy to talk to and very respectful towards him.

Lu Yan was sitting inside the car waiting for Shen Qingyi to arrive.

Xiao Wu left the clinic and saw Shen Qingyi walking toward it, holding the hands of two children, one of whom was Feng Erqiu’s eldest daughter.

On the way, Chun Ni had already explained everything to Shen Qingyi.

When Shen Qingyi arrived, Chun Ni immediately threw herself at Feng Erqiu. “Mom, hang on. I found Aunt Feng to save you.”

Feng Erqiu looked apologetic at Shen Qingyi and weakly said, “Sorry for troubling you again.”

Shen Qingyi comforted her, “It’s fate that brought us together. When troubles come, we have to face them. Maybe next time, I’ll be the one troubling you.”

Doctor Zhao, watching the scene, finally understood. Feng Erqiu knew Shen Qingyi, and Chun Ni was truly clever.

Doctor Zhao gave Shen Qingyi an approving glance and told Xiao Wu, “Help Feng Erqiu onto the car.”

Xiao Wu had just turned twenty-three and had never had a fiancée.

Seeing him hesitate, Liu Yong placed Er Ya back on the bed. “I’ll do it.”

Xiao Wu immediately pushed him aside and hurried to lift Feng Erqiu, following Shen Qingyi to the car.

That useless man was just trying to show off because people had arrived.

Liu Yong hadn’t expected Feng Erqiu’s family to be so close with Engineer Lu’s. He suddenly regretted not seeking help sooner.

He wrapped Er Ya again and intended to get in the car with them, but Shen Qingyi stopped him and took Er Ya from his arms. “If you can’t afford the expenses there, you won’t be of any use.”

Hearing this, Lu Yan looked at his wife in surprise. Normally gentle and kind, she could be sharp-tongued enough to make someone cringe—but he liked that about her.

Liu Yong froze on the spot.

Shen Qingyi closed the car door, holding Feng Erqiu in her arms, and said to Lu Yan, “Drive.”

Lu Yan pressed the accelerator, the car started smoothly. Hands resting on the steering wheel, he turned the vehicle around and calmly drove out of the clinic grounds. Then, he secretly glanced at his wife in the rearview mirror.

Her face bore a faint trace of displeasure, yet she still patiently comforted Feng Erqiu beside her, holding Er Ya. An’an and Chun Ni sat quietly nearby.

The car drove smoothly to the city hospital. After completing the admission procedures, Lu Yan turned to help Feng Erqiu out of the car, but she refused. “Let Xiao Shen support me. I can walk.”

Lu Yan glanced at the stretcher behind and, thinking it wasn’t far, nodded in agreement. He took Er Ya from Shen Qingyi’s arms as she supported Feng Erqiu out of the car. Once on the stretcher, they pushed her straight to the operating room.

The doctors wheeled the stretcher into surgery, while Shen Qingyi held the two children, following behind.

When the operating room door closed, Lu Yan sat on a bench in the corridor, holding Er Ya, and Shen Qingyi sat beside him.

Chun Ni anxiously leaned against the operating room door, trying to peer through the glass to see her mother’s condition.

Shen Qingyi beckoned to An’an, “Go call Sister Chun Ni to sit beside me.”
