"Qiu Min, please take a leave this afternoon and come to the old house to find me later."
It was the first time that Qiu Min saw Cheng Qiao looking so serious, and she felt a little uneasy, as she hadn't done anything during this period of time. Li Huan also found it strange, as his wife rarely had such a serious expression.
But he was smart enough to ask Qiu Min to go find Shouhou. Anyway, they still had things to do today and Shouhou couldn't be absent.
The two went to the old house first. Cheng Qiao took out some rice, flour, grain, oil, and some candies, cakes, eggs, pots and pans that had been prepared long ago from the space, especially the iron pot. These were rare goods and required industrial coupons.
More than half an hour later, Shouhou came over on a bicycle with Qiu Min. Qiu Min looked at Cheng Qiao nervously, wondering what had happened.
Cheng Qiao took Qiu Min's pulse again, first her left hand and then her right hand, then her right hand and then her left hand, and also looked at her tongue coating. Finally, she told her seriously that she was pregnant.
When Qiu Min heard that she was pregnant, she was so happy that she didn't know whether to cry or laugh. She was frightened by Cheng Qiao's expression just now and couldn't react for a while.
Because they had to pay off their debts and get married, they had used up all their savings over the years, so they wanted to make some money before having a child. But when they saw that Cheng Qiao was pregnant, Qiu Min also wanted to be a mother.
The two of them made money while preparing for pregnancy, but a month passed, then half a year passed, and Qiu Min still didn't get pregnant. Her sister-in-law became anxious, so she found an old underground Chinese doctor, who prescribed herbal medicine for her to drink, and it worked.
"Brother Monkey, I'm pregnant. We have a baby."
Qiu Min held Shouhou's hand and smiled happily. Shouhou also rubbed his hands happily. Ever since he saw little Cheng Li, his desire to become a father quickly grew.
"Don't be so happy, you're poisoned."
Cheng Qiao had to interrupt the two people's joy. If she treated the poison, she would not be able to save the child. She could only ask a master to take a look.
"Poisoned, Cheng Qiao, what are you talking about?"
Only then did Qiu Min understand why Cheng Qiao looked so bad, but she was eating and drinking normally, so how could there be any poison
"Have you taken any Chinese herbal medicine during this period?"
"I have. My sister-in-law said it is made of some grass or something and drinking it can help you get pregnant."
"Do you think you are pregnant because of this medicine?"
"Isn't it?"
"Of course not. You are healthy and can get pregnant anytime and anywhere. Why would you drink those herbs of unknown origin?"
The skinny monkey's face changed as well. He suddenly understood something and punched the wall, causing the already dilapidated wall to collapse.
"Brother Huan, I..."
"It doesn't matter. It was already broken, it just got more broken. Tell us what happened and we can all work together to find a solution."
"Qiu Min's sister-in-law doesn't have a job. She has long had her eyes on Qiu Min's job, so she is waiting for Qiu Min to get pregnant so she can give her the job."
"Give it to her. Qiu Min spent 500 yuan to buy this job. How can I give it to her for free?"
Cheng Qiao also heard Qiu Min say a few words, but she refused to say more and she did not ask any more questions. She originally thought that she was selling it to her sister-in-law, but she never thought that her sister-in-law would actually think of this.
"When Qiu Min hadn't paid back the money, her brother and sister-in-law didn't say a word. But when she paid back the money and we got married again, they started to cause trouble."
"Hey, why are there so many bad people and bad things?"
Li Huan was getting impatient, he just wanted to make more money, raise his children well and fatten up his wife, he didn't want to care about anything else, but there were so many bedbugs jumping around, it was so annoying.
"Cheng Qiao, do you think this poison can be cured? Will it have any effect on the child?"
Cheng Qiao shook her head. She had only been studying medicine for a short time. The fact that she could tell from Qiu Min's pulse that she was poisoned was the result of her diligent study every day.
"Come back to Xiangyang Village with me today. My master should be able to do it, but I can't guarantee it."
Qiu Min nodded. When Shouhou saw the pile of supplies in the second room, he felt conflicted. He wanted to make money but was also worried about Qiu Min's health. In the end, he gritted his teeth and turned away.
Li Huan just likes Shouhou's personality. He is calm and collected when encountering things, and he knows the priorities very clearly. Only when he has enough money in his hands can he let his wife and children live a happy life.
In the evening, Shouhou brought Qiu Min back home, and Li Huan brought Cheng Qiao and his son back home. Ye Jun was also invited by Li Huan. Seeing Qiu Min's nervous look, Ye Jun smiled and shook his head.
The dosage used by the old Chinese doctor was not large, and Qiu Min had only been drinking it for a few months, so the poisoning was not serious. But she was pregnant after all, and the poison would more or less have some effect on the fetus.
Fortunately, the pregnancy is only more than a month and the fetus's brain has not yet developed. These drugs will only affect the child's body and will not cause problems to the brain.
Moreover, if pregnant women pay attention to nutritional intake and maintain a certain intensity of physical exercise in the later stages, the child's body will also be well nurtured, so there is no need to worry so much.
After Ye Jun's careful analysis and explanation, Cheng Qiao realized that she was too worried and lacked experience in grasping the pulse, and she felt a little embarrassed.
But Ye Jun happily praised Cheng Qiao. If she had not discovered Qiu Min's facial swelling in time, the child would definitely not have been saved in two months.
Ye Jun prescribed some detoxifying herbs and pregnancy-preserving drugs, and also mentioned some precautions, which Shouhou carefully wrote down in his notebook.
"Qiu Min, sell your job. We have made some money these days. It is enough to support you and the child. I can also buy a job."
After Ye Jun finished writing the prescription, Shouhou suddenly looked at Qiu Min and said, Ye Jun was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood why the pregnant woman was poisoned, it turned out that someone was plotting against her job.
"Li Huan, I also want to sell my job. Now that Cheng Li is here, it is not convenient for me to go to work."
Cheng Qiao suddenly said this. Li Huan of course understood what Cheng Qiao meant, but who should he sell this job to? Li Huan started to think.
"Qiu Min, if you really want to sell your job, sell it to the village chief's eldest daughter. She has been married to the county town for many years and still can't find a job."
"good."
Qiu Min agreed immediately. She wanted to concentrate on taking care of the baby and she could also do some business secretly. However, she should find a way to make her brother and sister-in-law from her mother's side suffer.
"How much do you want to sell it for?"
"I bought it for 500 yuan, and it will be 500 yuan if I sell it."
Li Huan nodded. A regular worker in the supply and marketing cooperative could be sold for 800 yuan, but Shouhou and Qiu Min were not greedy at all. Based on this point, he was ready to ask the old village chief for 600 yuan.
