"Doctor, are you asking about Simi? Simi is at home, why don't you come to our house and take a look?"

With an excuse to get close to her, Chen Shitou squeezed forward directly, wishing he could stick close to Yun Suisui.

Yun Suisui frowned slightly, quickly took a step back, and asked calmly, "Where is Simi's mother?"

Chen Shitou curled his lips, a trace of barely perceptible disdain in his eyes. "I'm home too! Doctor, wait a moment. I have something to say to the secretary, and then I'll take you home!"

Yun Suisui narrowed her eyes and said, "No need. I know where the Chen family is. I can go there myself after I finish my consultation."

After saying that, she didn't care how Chen Shitou responded. She greeted the secretary and walked towards the village.

She had been to most of the families in the village. Even if she had never seen a doctor there, she would have some impression of them. She remembered very clearly that the Chen family always kept their door closed.

I had witnessed how unreasonable Old Lady Chen was before, and she was already weird enough, but I never expected that there was something even more terrifying: her own father actually wanted to send his daughter to another family as a child bride, and the other party was having an affair with him.

It's such a mess.

These things did not affect Yun Suisui's medical practice. She treated all the families in the village who needed medical treatment in an orderly manner, and then invited a sister-in-law who was very prestigious in the village to go to Chen's house together.

The Chen family's door was open, revealing a crooked and dilapidated house. The holes in the lower corners of the windows were covered with layers of newspaper, and the edges of the cotton door curtains were worn and tattered.

Chen Shitou heard the noise, pushed open the door and walked out. When he saw Mrs. Zhang following him, his face turned ugly for a moment.

What a joke! He's obviously a pervert. How could Yun Suisui come here alone?

She could have knocked him down with an injection, but there was no need to do so. Less trouble is worse than more.

Mrs. Zhang asked directly: "Shitou, where's four meters?"

"She is lying in the house. You don't know that the family is very busy during the New Year period. She doesn't have to do any work. She is well taken care of!" Chen Shitou answered as he opened the shabby wooden door.

The two followed him into the house. The light in the house was dim and the temperature was cold, giving it a spooky feeling.

Chen Simi was lying in a small room behind the kitchen, on a bed made of bricks and wood, covered with a black, moldy quilt. The quilt was very small, not even as tall as her.

Mrs. Zhang knew that the Chen family was in financial difficulty and that Old Mrs. Chen favored boys over girls, but she never expected that Chen Simi's living conditions were so poor.

Her brows furrowed. "I can't even sleep on the kang while I'm recuperating at home. It's so cold at night. Do you want to freeze Simi to death?"

Chen Shitou slapped his thigh and complained, "Oh, sister-in-law, you're really talking without any hesitation. We have so many family members, including three sisters who are four meters tall, and we only have two rooms. How can we all live here?"

Mrs. Zhang glared at him and said nothing more.

Yun Suisui went straight to take Chen Simi's pulse.

Looking at Chen Simi's limbs still twitching in her sleep, she frowned more and more tightly and said in a deep voice, "She has been running a low-grade fever. Didn't you notice?"

Chen Shitou smiled awkwardly, "My mom said that children's body temperatures are naturally high, and they get used to it after a while."

"Besides, didn't we let her sleep every day to recuperate?"

Yun Suisui gritted her teeth and said, "Nonsense!"

"A persistent high fever could easily lead to respiratory infections, digestive problems, or even meningitis. Chen Simi has already lost his hearing because of this. Haven't you learned your lesson yet?"

After all, it's just because he doesn't care about her life or death.

Yun Suisui first gave Chen Simi two heat-clearing pills, and then massaged the acupuncture points on her head to ensure that her brain function was intact and that she had no neurological disorders due to the fever.

Then massage her tense hands and feet to relieve the twitching symptoms.

By the time Chen Simi calmed down, she was already sweating profusely, and her shirt was soaked with sweat.

At this time, a woman, skinny and with a tired face, hurried in. She was crying, her tone was mournful, but no tears came out of her eyes. "Si Mi, what happened to Si Mi? Is there any hope?"

Yun Suisui glanced at Mrs. Zhang, and Mrs. Zhang said, "This is Simi's mother."

"Malnutrition, low resistance, lung inflammation, and recurring low-grade fever. It's not certain yet whether it will affect the brain nerves." Yun Suisui answered truthfully.

The woman held on to Chen Simi and refused to let go. Seeing this, Chen Shitou quickly scolded her, "Have you finished your work? If you haven't, and you still dare to come into the house, be careful. I'll teach you a lesson tonight! Can't you see there are guests in the house? Get out now!"

The woman looked at him pleadingly, "Brother Shitou, Simi needs someone to take care of her. Can you talk to Mom and let me stay and take care of her for two days?"

Chen Shitou felt annoyed when he saw her and said angrily, "You have so many daughters, so what if one is missing? Go out and chop firewood quickly, don't embarrass yourself here!"

"If your own wife is ashamed, then who wouldn't be ashamed? Widow Lin at the west end of the village?"

Yun Suisui looked at him with a clear gaze, and there was a sense of sarcasm and authority in her eyes.

She had found out early in the morning that there were three children named Hui in the village. Their families were poor and they might have some health problems. The only one was Lin Dahui, the stupid son born to widow Lin at the west end of the village.

As for why they would look for one with a physical problem, it is because nowadays, if the child is not physically ill, few people would raise a child bride.

In order to make sure her guess was correct, she had gone to the west side of the village to see the patient just now. The voice of Widow Lin that came out was indeed the one she had heard before.

Hearing her words, Chen Shitou's heart skipped a beat.

The affair between him and Widow Lin has been kept well hidden for half a year. Even his mother didn't know about it. How did Dr. Yun from outside know about it?

He still had a smile on his face, pretending to be confused, "Doctor Yun, what do you mean by that?"

Yun Suisui glanced down at Chen Simi and replied calmly, "Nothing, I just felt that Simi needed someone to take care of her, so I asked her mother to stay."

The words of refusal were on the tip of his tongue, but he was afraid that Yun Suisui would reveal the affair between him and Widow Lin.

He glanced at Mrs. Zhang, wondering how much she had heard.

But I'm afraid it won't work to give Simi to Lin Dahui as his wife.

Although he just wanted to use Widow Lin's belly to give birth to a descendant for the Chen family, and he didn't think he had done anything wrong, it was not a glorious thing after all. If Sister-in-law Zhang knew about it and told others, he would probably end up in jail!

He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let her stay here. I really owe them!"

Mrs. Zhang glanced at him, and combined with what Doctor Yun had just said, she understood a little bit.

Chen Shitou was not an honest man to begin with. He would always try to get close to pretty young girls and wives by baring his teeth.

This time, he's having an affair with a widow!

No, she has to talk to her brother when she gets back, asking him not to let this person ruin the reputation of their team.

Her brother is the captain of the first production brigade of Xinli Commune.
