Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

"Quick! Go and call her daughter-in-law to carry her back!" someone shouted urgently.

Su Wanqing's heart skipped a beat!

The original plot serves as a wake-up call in my mind!

The original owner had only been in the countryside for a few days when a severe intestinal infectious disease broke out in the entire village, causing diarrhea, vomiting, and high fever; it was highly contagious. Now, she's only been in the countryside for two days, and the symptoms have already appeared?! And judging from the wording, it's already spread within her family!

Her heart clenched instantly.

In the original story, the plague swept through the entire village, causing most of the able-bodied people to fall ill. The work of repairing irrigation ditches and carrying water to save seedlings was completely paralyzed. In the end, the wheat that desperately needed irrigation withered and died, resulting in a complete crop failure in the autumn and directly causing many people in the village to starve to death in the winter.

No! We must stop it as soon as possible!

Su Wanqing's mind raced. The epidemic should have just begun to emerge, and the spread might not be too large yet. As long as decisive measures are taken immediately to cut off the transmission chain, it is entirely possible to nip this disaster in the bud!

She quickly took out a homemade gauze mask from her medicine box and put it on. After checking the old woman's condition, she spoke in a clear but firm voice.

"Quiet down, everyone! Listen to me! This elderly woman's symptoms are very likely a severe intestinal bacterial infection, which is contagious! For everyone's safety, everyone who has been near or in contact with this elderly woman, please do as I say immediately!"

"First of all, please don't rush home! The virus may have already gotten on your hands and clothes, and going back now could easily infect the children and elderly in your family! Please line up and come here to thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water! Then, everyone needs to drink a bowl of herbal soup to prevent infection!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than a hot-headed young man jumped out and protested:

"Why can't I go home? I only bumped into it, what's the big deal? It's just a little diarrhea, everyone gets diarrhea sometimes!"

"Exactly, don't think you can just give orders because you're a doctor. Making a mountain out of a molehill over such a small thing..."

However, some people were more reasonable. An elderly man stood up and said, "I think Dr. Su is right! It's never a bad thing to be cautious. If the infection really spreads, it will be too late to regret it! We should listen to the doctor!"

The scene immediately split into two factions, who began to argue.

"What's all this noise about! What's going on?" Just then, Liu Shuqing, who had rushed over after hearing the commotion, pushed through the crowd and walked in with a serious expression.

Su Wanqing immediately gave him a concise report:

"Officer Liu, I suspect there's been an outbreak of intestinal infectious disease. This elderly woman and her family are showing symptoms and are contagious. My suggestion is:"

First, all potential contacts should immediately undergo personal disinfection; and identify all individuals in the village who have diarrhea or other discomfort, and immediately isolate their entire families.

Second, take preventative medication;

Third, it is recommended that those who have been in contact with the infected person self-isolate for half a day and only return home after confirming that they are safe, to prevent the spread of the epidemic. If this disease were to break out on a large scale, the consequences would be unimaginable; the entire village would suffer from high fever and dehydration, making it impossible to harvest crops or fight drought, let alone get out of bed!

Upon hearing the words "infectious disease" and "affecting the harvest," Liu Shuqing's expression immediately turned serious.

If it were any other ordinary doctor who was sent to the countryside by the educated youth, he would have scolded the other person as a quack, asking how serious a simple case of diarrhea could be, and simply told everyone to go back to what they were doing.

But the person in front of me is the doctor who saved Secretary Li; he's very farsighted.

"Comrade Xiao Su, are you really sure this is serious? If we let it go, will the whole village really get high fevers and dehydration?" Liu Shuqing asked again.

Diarrhea isn't scary; what's scary is a high fever. There aren't many medicines available in the countryside, so you just have to tough it out.

Su Wanqing nodded. "I just heard that this elderly woman's family member has become extremely weak from diarrhea, and her condition is worsening. I've also examined her, and it is indeed a contagious enterovirus infection. It's very serious. Please do as I say!"

Liu Shuqing immediately made a decisive decision, sternly ordering, "Did you all hear what Dr. Su said? This is no small matter! Everyone who was standing nearby is not allowed to leave! Everyone must follow Dr. Su's instructions! Anyone who doesn't cooperate will be considered to be disrupting production, and all their work points will be deducted!"

With Officer Liu's firm order, those who were initially resentful immediately quieted down and dared not cause any more trouble.

But Sister Zhao grumbled even more indignantly, "They're really taking their positions too seriously! They really think they're someone important!"

Su Wanqing hadn't expected that her casual rescue of Secretary Li yesterday would earn her the trust of Cadre Liu today. Otherwise, without Cadre Liu, she was afraid that no one would believe her no matter how much she shouted.

The consequence was that everyone went home, and the next day or the day after, the whole village was experiencing diarrhea and vomiting.

Su Wanqing didn't dare to delay and immediately took action. After all, in the original plot, her cousin, in order to torment the original owner and enhance the enjoyment, wrote her as the most miserable female supporting character and the entire village.

If she wants to reverse and change the plot, she needs to plan ahead, prepare early, and provide early treatment.

Officer Liu continued, "Comrade Xiao Su, just tell me what else needs to be done."

Su Wanqing then said without hesitation, "I need to brew a large pot of preventative medicine. First, I'll start a fire to boil the water. Then, I'll gather the infected people in this backyard for treatment."

"Okay." Officer Liu quickly made arrangements. If anyone was absent due to diarrhea, he could find out by checking with Sister Zhao. He would then have Sister Zhao notify each household and send the person with diarrhea to the command center for free treatment and meals.

Sister Zhao ran from the east side of the village to the west side, cursing all the way, hating Su Wanqing to the core.

On the other side, Aunt Wang and her husband, who had fallen to the ground, and her beloved grandson had already been carried to the backyard of the command post.

A little while later, two more of Aunt Wang's neighbors came in. They weren't having serious diarrhea, and they had even gone to work today. They had heard that the command center was providing free medicine and meals, so they came.

Of these people, apart from the children and the elderly who were dehydrated, Aunt Wang had a high fever, while the others had very mild symptoms.

Su Wanqing took out berberine, norfloxacin, and other medications from the medicine box and injected them with different doses according to their different conditions. She also secretly added a small amount of spiritual spring water to replenish their fluids and prevent dehydration.

Next, she organized the crowd to line up and had everyone wash their hands repeatedly with the soap she had brought.

Then, a large amount of water with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties was boiled, and preventative medicine and spiritual spring water were added, so that each person who came into contact with it would drink a large bowl.

Sister Zhao hated Su Wanqing to the core. "I'm not going to drink your lousy medicine. Let's see what happens!"
