Chapter 159: Stomachache, crowdfunding
The troops also had dumplings today. Jiang Xingyan ate a few and thought they were good, so he brought them back to share with the little girl.
Unexpectedly, the ones at home were even better, so he ate two bowls in a row.
Just when everyone was having lunch, a small figure suddenly appeared upstairs and ran towards the first floor. Xu Nier knocked on Chu Sangning's door in a hurry.
"Sister, my mother has a stomachache and fell to the ground. I am too weak to help her up."
Chu Sangning and Jiang Xingyan looked at each other and ran up immediately. The military wife rolled her eyes in pain, and when she saw Chu Sangning and Jiang Xingyan, she smiled despite the pain.
"It's nothing serious, the child is just frightened, and my stomach hurts a little."
"Nier, come here, don't cause trouble for everyone, I'll be fine after a rest." The army wife's lips turned pale, and she was still stubborn and refused to go to the hospital.
No matter how Chu Sangning persuaded her, she was still unmoved. After all, the patient didn't want to go, so it was useless even if Chu Sangning talked her mouth off.
You can't tie someone up to the hospital, right?
Just when the two were about to give up, the military wife groaned, and Xu Nier became even more scared, shaking her body, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm scared, go to the hospital."
The military wife thought it would cost a lot of money to go to the hospital. Her husband's allowance for next month has not been issued yet, and all the money for this month is almost gone. She only has a few cents in her hand, which can only buy half a pound of meat. Going to the hospital is useless.
"What's wrong? Let's go to the hospital first." Chu Sangning and Jiang Xingyan each took an arm to send the man to the hospital.
He Shulan Shanshan arrived late. She was in a hurry and her forehead was covered with sweat. She asked anxiously: "What happened? How did she go to the hospital?"
Chu Sangning and Jiang Xingyan didn't know the reason either. They asked Xu Nier. Xu Nier shook her head and whispered with her fingers: "I don't know why. My mother suddenly had a stomachache when she was eating."
"Eat?" He Shulan's heart skipped a beat. Everyone in the building should have eaten the same food today. Could it be that there was something wrong with the dumplings?
Chu Sangning naturally understood what her aunt meant. She ate the dumplings today, and Jiang Xingyan also ate them. Both of them were fine. It couldn't be that Xu's wife just got unlucky, right?
Jiang Xingyan asked: "Do you remember what your mother ate just now?"
Xu Nier tilted her head and thought for a while, then said decisively: "My mother and I ate bean paste and wotou."
Chu Sangning realized that something was wrong, and then asked softly: "Where are the dumplings your mother brought home today?"
"My mother said that we can only eat them after Dad comes back." Xu Nier explained what her mother said. All the words were learned again, "Dad, come back and eat dumplings."
He Shulan sighed, "What kind of thing is this on New Year's Eve? I sent myself to the hospital for a meal of dumplings. Alas - military wives are too frugal."
The three of them waited in the hospital with Xu Nier for more than half an hour before the doctor came out and looked at Jiang Xingyan, "Are you a relative of the patient?"
" No, we sent her here. "
Chu Sangning explained, and the doctor's expression eased, but he didn't say anything, "The patient has food poisoning, be careful next time, this time she is lucky to save the baby in her belly, go back and tell her husband to eat more nutritious food to replenish her body."
Several people were stunned, even Xu Nier looked like she hadn't recovered, He Shulan asked: "You, you mean that the military wife is pregnant?"
"Yes, if she hadn't been sent to the hospital, the child might not have been saved, be careful next time."
The military wife was still unconscious due to food poisoning and was receiving intravenous fluids. He Shulan and Xu Nier stayed here to accompany her. As for Chu Sangning and Jiang Xingyan, they took the Xu family's key to get the bean paste and wowotou.
The Xu family's house was not big, and everything was tidy inside. Chu Sangning saw a small brown jar on the table. She almost vomited when she opened it and went to eat it.
There was moldy bean paste inside, and Mrs. Xu was still eating it. She had eaten half of the glutinous rice balls on the table. Jiang Xingyan picked them up and found that they were still cold.
Chu Sangning couldn't understand why Mrs. Xu couldn't bear to eat a hot dumpling when her husband was not at home, and she continued to save money. Why?
If she hadn't eaten the bean paste today, she wouldn't have gone to the hospital.
Jiang Xingyan patted the girl's shoulder, "A blessing in disguise. If she hadn't gone to the hospital, my sister-in-law wouldn't have found out she was pregnant."
Several people were busy helping, and the people in the family building also knew that Xu Dajun's wife had eaten something wrong and was admitted to the hospital, and they all went to offer their condolences.
Chu Sangning followed them. When they arrived, they saw He Shulan and Dajun's wife in a stalemate, and both of them looked unhappy.
"What's wrong with my aunt?" Chu Sangning asked.
"She insisted on being discharged. Food poisoning is not a trivial matter. I wanted her to stay in the hospital for observation, but she refused."
The military wife also cheered up and explained: "I just heard everything. Chu Zhiqing thanked you for saving me, but I know my own body and I can still hold on. Don't waste the money."
In the hospital, even if they are military wives, they still have to pay to see a doctor, and it is only a part of the price cheaper than outside.
Chu Sangning had just been to her house and knew the situation of the Xu family. There was a big box at the door of the kitchen. There was a cloth bag full of patches inside. The grain bag was empty. When it was opened, there were only a few handfuls of coarse grain mixed with black flour.
Chu Sangning had never seen such a situation before, and couldn't help wondering if the army's allowance was enough.
Jiang Xingyan also found it incredible. Xu Dajun's allowance was enough for his family of four. Now his youngest son had returned to his hometown with his grandmother. How could three people live like this?
Xu Dajun's allowance, his wife's allowance, and the army's two or three kilograms of food every month. Even if it was food, it could last for dozens of days if it was converted into a few cents of paper money.
Seeing that Dajun's wife was stubborn and insisted on being discharged from the hospital, Chu Sangning winked at her aunt, and He Shulan led a group of people out first.
Outside the door, Chu Sangning told He Shulan about the Xu family. Although He Shulan didn't understand where they spent the money, she thought for a moment because it was a matter of life and death and she was worried about another child.
"Let's do this. Let's collect the money first and let her stay in the hospital with peace of mind. The money will be given to us when Old Xu gets his allowance next month. We can't delay the treatment of Dajun's wife because of money."
He Shulan suggested it first and paid the money first. She took out 50 cents first, and Chu Sangning followed suit. Everyone contributed 10 cents and 20 cents, and they really collected 3 yuan.
Chu Sangning and Jiang Xingyan went downstairs to pay the bill, while He Shulan advised Dajun's wife to lie down on the bed.
"Even if not for yourself, think about the baby in your belly."
