I wanted to say something, but I couldn't get a word in. I could only stand by and worry. Until the skinny guy was about to take action and Qiu Min didn't show up, I felt much more at ease.
But she let go too soon. When she saw Qiu Min being pulled out by her eldest brother and thrown to the ground, she knew something was wrong. But Shouhou was so angry that he was confused and just focused on fighting.
She hurried forward to support Qiu Min. Qiu Min saw the aunt next door, pointed to her belly and shook her head. The aunt immediately understood what Qiu Min meant and hurriedly shouted loudly.
The skinny monkey ran over and saw Qiu Min's painful expression. He was angry and anxious, and knew that now was not the time to continue fighting.
"Aunt, help me push the flatbed cart in the yard over here. I'm taking Qiu Min to the hospital."
"Go get the bed and blanket first, don't let the pregnant woman get cold. I'll go push the cart."
The aunt next door hurried out, and the people watching the excitement started chattering. In just a dozen minutes, two people had blood on their heads, and it seemed that a pregnant woman was going to lose her pregnancy.
The buzzing of the crowd scared Qiu Min's mother. Her mind went blank for a moment and she didn't know what to do. Finally, it was the people around her who reminded her to quickly get someone to help send her son and daughter-in-law to the hospital.
But who was willing to help? Seeing how vicious the couple looked just now, everyone was afraid of being blamed if they saved someone, so they simply did nothing.
"Auntie, here's the quilt for you. I'll carry Qiu Min to the car."
"Lock the door first."
The aunt glanced at the confused and helpless old couple and quickly reminded them that most people would put money in the bedroom where they slept. If the two of them just left like that, what would they do if it was stolen
The skinny monkey then remembered that he had not taken the money yet. How could he see a doctor without money? He quickly entered the house, opened the drawer, and put all the banknotes and passbooks in the house on his body.
He quickly locked the door of the inner room, picked up Qiu Min and walked out. He carefully placed Qiu Min on the flatbed cart and covered her with a quilt.
"Wife, don't be afraid, we'll go to the hospital right away."
Fortunately, the hospital was not far from home. In just over ten minutes, Skinny Monkey arrived at the hospital pushing a stretcher. The aunt next door followed behind him and was almost dying before she could barely keep up.
When the nurse saw a pregnant woman with a pale face, she knew something was wrong and quickly pulled the bell at hand. When the bell rang, the doctor knew that a critically ill patient had appeared.
"Quick, send her to the obstetrics and gynecology department. The baby is showing signs of premature birth."
"How many months old is the child?"
"More than six months."
"Did you hit him, or did he fall while walking?"
"She fell because her eldest brother pulled her hair."
"If there is a problem with the child, it is a criminal case and you can report it."
After understanding the situation, the nurse quickly followed in. The skinny guy stood outside at a loss. Only then could the aunt next door sit down and catch her breath.
"Thank you, auntie. I can't leave. Can you help me make a phone call? I'll give you money."
"Okay, what's the phone number and who to call."
"Auntie, his name is Li Huan, and he is the village chief of Xiangyang Village. Here is his phone number. Thank you."
The skinny guy took out a piece of paper and a pen from his pocket, wrote Li Huan's name and phone number on them, and gave her fifty cents.
It only costs five cents to make a phone call. The skinny monkey obviously wanted to thank this enthusiastic aunt. The aunt next door also understood the situation. She nodded, turned around and left.
By the time Li Huan and Cheng Qiao arrived at the county hospital, Qiu Min had already been transferred from the emergency room to the ward. Because she had eaten well and rested well during this period, the baby in her belly was in good health.
So even if the baby falls and moves violently, it can still stay in the belly and continue to grow with the doctor's first aid.
Cheng Qiao took out the kettle, poured a cup of well water that had been prepared long ago, and asked Qiu Min to drink it.
Qiu Min just felt dry in the mouth, so he quickly took the teacup and drank it down in one gulp. As soon as the water entered his throat, he felt a sweet taste.
"Cheng Qiao, you added sugar."
Cheng Qiao nodded. The quality of the well water in the space seemed to be getting better and better. It was not only sweet and clear, but sometimes there would be bursts of smoke coming out from above the wellhead. However, the smoke did not come out for a long time.
"Qiu Min, what's going on?"
Just as Qiu Min was about to speak, the aunt next door stood up, smiled and said that Qiu Min should not talk too much, so she should speak first. Then she told Cheng Qiao everything she knew today.
When Cheng Qiao heard her sister-in-law admit that it was she who asked the doctor to prescribe the medicine for Qiu Min, she quickly asked Shouhou to report the case. The quack doctor was harming people, so she took this opportunity to kill as many as possible.
When Shouhou saw Li Huan and Cheng Qiao coming, his anxious heart immediately calmed down. He knew that as long as Li Huan took action, most small problems could be solved.
Li Huan accompanied Shouhou to report the case. They reported that Qiu Min's elder brother and sister-in-law had committed murder for money. In order to get Qiu Min's salary, they attempted to murder the baby in her belly and even hired a quack doctor to almost make Qiu Min have a miscarriage.
After the comrades from the Public Security Bureau finished recording, he also turned himself in. He was too impulsive at the time, so he beat his brother and sister-in-law with a stick each. If anything happened, he would pay for the medical expenses.
The comrades from the Public Security Bureau looked up at him and recorded the matter. They were more concerned about the quack doctor.
Because now there are strict crackdowns on people who cheat without medical certificates, they use their eloquent tongues to say that their medicines are passed down from their ancestors and are only passed down to males, not females.
Moreover, the efficacy of the medicine is comparable to that of elixirs. As long as you take the pills they make, prolonging your life is just a small matter. If you take too much, you can even live to be a hundred years old.
Therefore, many families with spare money will go find such people, spend a lot of money to buy a pill, take it, and instantly feel that their internal organs are nourished.
"Where is your sister-in-law now?"
"exist… "
Skinny Monkey suddenly remembered that when he left, his elder brother and sister-in-law were still lying on the ground unconscious. He quickly reported the truth and took the police to his home.
At the doorstep, the crowd had disappeared, and there was no sign of Qiu Min's brother and sister-in-law or her parents. There was only a pool of blood on the ground, telling Shouhou that what had just happened was real.
"Shouhou, your father-in-law has taken the man to the hospital."
When the neighbors saw Skinny Monkey bringing the police officers back, they knew they had gone to report a case, so they quickly spoke up. Skinny Monkey thanked them repeatedly and wanted to go to the hospital, but the police officers asked about his situation at the time.
Of course, the neighbors next door spoke up for Shouhou. You know, Shouhou is a generous person with many connections, and sometimes he would get some popular goods and transfer them to them.
When the comrades from the Public Security Bureau heard that what the neighbor said was similar to what Shouhou said, they closed the record sheet with satisfaction and took Shouhou to the hospital.
In the hospital, the eldest brother and his wife were already awake. The eldest sister-in-law was still cursing, saying that she would go and settle the score with the skinny monkey when she recovered. But the eldest brother said nothing. When the skinny monkey hit him with a stick, he clearly saw the murderous intent in the skinny monkey's eyes.
