The phrase "I pity their misfortune, and I am angry at their lack of resistance" perfectly captures the feelings of An Ning and Zhao Xuemei at this moment.
Anning had just given Guo Shuzhen a chance. If she agreed, Anning would ignore Aunt Wu standing by and go straight to help.
But she didn't.
Anning had encountered a similar situation before, back when she was in high school, before the apocalypse.
She had a close classmate who started dating a guy from outside the school during the first semester of her senior year of high school. However, her boyfriend didn't care about her. She saw messages on his phone from him flirting with other women multiple times, and she even saw him shopping with other women.
So she would come to Anning almost every day to complain. When Anning joined her in cursing that man, she would also agree and give examples of how he harassed her.
At that time, Anning thought that the other party was just afraid to break up with him, so she went to talk to the man privately and asked him to stay away from his friends.
Instead of gratitude from her classmates, she received even more complaints.
The complaints shifted from her boyfriend to why Anning, having gone to see him, didn't ask him to delete the women on his phone, instead of telling him to stay away from her.
In her extreme remarks, she even asked An Ning if she also liked her boyfriend who looked like a kappa, and that was why she wanted to sow discord between them.
From that moment on, Anning knew that some people who appeared pitiful actually did not need help.
The original body was the same.
When she was first bullied by her in-laws, someone asked her if she needed help. She not only distanced herself from them but also reduced the frequency of their visits, to the point that no one was willing to help her anymore.
Therefore, Anning will not fall in the same place again.
Seeing Aunt Wu's attitude, Zhao Xuemei was displeased even though she was somewhat worried about Guo Shuzhen's condition. She simply pulled An Ning aside and distanced herself from them.
Who knows if Aunt Wu, burning with anger, might suddenly collapse in front of them, preparing to extort money from them?
After all, she had personally experienced the other party's skills during her last beachcombing trip.
Suddenly, Guo Shuzhen put down the bucket that had just been filled with water, her expression changed, and she clutched her stomach: "Mom, my stomach hurts so much..."
Aunt Wu looked at her with great displeasure: "What are you pretending for? Nothing happened when you were fetching water this morning, did it? Now everyone's watching, so you're putting on an act, aren't you?"
"No... I didn't..."
Guo Shuzhen was deathly pale, clutching her stomach, and each word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth.
"you……"
Before Aunt Wu could say anything more, Zhao Xuemei suddenly shouted, "She's bleeding!"
Wow!
In a short time, most of the doors and windows of the family building were opened, as people came out to check on Guo Shuzhen's condition.
Aunt Wu just wanted her daughter-in-law to do some chores; she was simply very unhappy with her staying at home all the time.
She's just pregnant, and the birth is still a long way off, but her son is already in a rush to have her come over to take care of him, and he'll take her to the hospital for checkups every now and then.
How could she have so many good things happen when she was pregnant?
But she didn't think about anything else. Guo Shuzhen was perfectly healthy when she went to the hospital for a check-up before. How could she be like this now just from carrying water?
She hasn't even let the other person do farm work yet!
Aunt Wu was momentarily at a loss, looking around blankly.
When her gaze fell on An Ning and Zhao Xuemei, a sudden surge of inexplicable anger rose within her.
It's them!
If it weren't for their jinxing words, Guo Shuzhen wouldn't have gotten into trouble!
She stepped forward and tried to pull at Anning's clothes: "It's all your fault! If you hadn't cursed her, would she have gotten into this mess? Let me tell you, you have to take full responsibility for what happened today! Don't think you can get away with it like before."
How could An Ning, someone who could infiltrate and escape hordes of zombies seven times, be captured by an ordinary peasant woman?
She simply took a step to the side, effortlessly dodging Aunt Wu's hand, and walked towards Guo Shuzhen.
She helped Guo Shuzhen lay her down, placed her hand on Guo Shuzhen's wrist, and found that her pulse was scattered and irregular, indicating that Guo Shuzhen's blood and qi were disordered and her internal organs were dysfunctional, making it impossible for her to provide a stable growth environment for the fetus.
All of this is likely caused by malnutrition and overwork.
An Ning had learned a few moves from that old Chinese medicine doctor, but he was seriously injured, and she only learned the basics.
She can diagnose common pulse patterns, remember several classic prescriptions, and know a few life-saving acupoints.
An Ning ripped off Guo Shuzhen's shoes, pressed hard on her Yinbai acupoint, and called out to the surroundings, "Does any sister-in-law have a stretcher or a light recliner that we could borrow?"
Someone immediately replied, "I have some! Wait for me, I'll be right down."
People in this era are still simple and honest; when they encounter problems like this, they will help if they can.
In modern times, people would still consider things like good or bad luck, and they would also worry about being scammed by the other party.
But things are different now. When Aunt Wu was causing trouble for An Ning, someone spoke up for her. With everyone watching, even if she wanted to retaliate, it would be impossible.
Everyone rushed downstairs in a panic, surrounding Anning and Guo Shuzhen. Anning had no choice but to disperse them.
"Everyone, please don't crowd together. Pregnant women need to breathe fresh air."
Everyone scattered again.
The stretcher was quickly brought down, and Anning and Zhao Xuemei lifted Guo Shuzhen onto it. Immediately, someone helped lift her up, and Anning quickly helped Guo Shuzhen put on her shoes before they rushed to the military hospital.
Someone nearby couldn't help but ask, "Anning, why did you take off her shoes just now?"
“I heard from someone that pressing that acupoint can stop bleeding, but I don’t know if it works. There are no doctors here, so I can only try anything for Guo’s wife as a last resort.”
"That's true. These things are all rather mystical; sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. But what if they do work?"
They took turns carrying the person for a while, and then they met untrained soldiers who took over the stretcher and rushed to the military hospital as fast as they could.
As they approached the hospital, someone asked, "Shouldn't we go and inform Battalion Commander Zhao?"
"He's gone on a mission," Guo Shuzhen said, her face pale and her voice trembling with pain.
"What should we do then? We can't just leave you alone in the hospital, can we?"
Then everyone remembered Aunt Wu, but when they looked around, they couldn't find her anywhere.
