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

Chen Xiuer's mother-in-law, the old lady surnamed Sun, immediately interrupted impatiently:

"What are you looking at? The baby is growing inside your belly, it's just a natural process! Back in our day, every pregnant woman worked until she gave birth! It's just that young people these days are being dramatic!"

Chen Xiuer, being straightforward, ignored her mother-in-law and said directly to Su Wanqing, "Hello, Comrade Su, don't listen to my mother-in-law. I have indeed been feeling tightness and bloating in my stomach these past few days, and I'm not feeling very comfortable."

Su Wanqing glanced at Granny Sun and said indifferently:

"Mother-in-law, you had to work while you were pregnant back then. That was your bad luck. You were born at the wrong time and no one cared for you. Your daughter-in-law is lucky to have met me. I can take a look at her and guarantee her safety. That's true good fortune. You should be happy."

"Pfft—" The people around waiting to drink the medicine immediately burst into laughter.

"You know what, Comrade Su has a point!"

"Exactly, times have changed!"

Grandma Sun choked, her face turning red and white in turns, and she reluctantly shut her mouth.

Su Wanqing then carefully examined Chen Xiuer, taking her pulse and feeling her abdomen.

After a moment, her expression turned serious:

"Comrade Xiuer, your baby is in a slightly breech position. Also, due to the location of the placenta and the umbilical cord being wrapped around it, the fetus is experiencing some oxygen deprivation, which is why the fetal movements are more frequent and intense."

Fortunately, the baby was a bit small due to nutritional issues, which actually increased the chances of a natural birth, so the problem wasn't too serious.

Chen Xiuer and Aunt Wang both breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Xiuer has wanted to go to the hospital these past few days, but it's too far to walk there. The oxcart is only available in the afternoon after the educated youth have time to go, but that would interfere with her work.

Fortunately, her mother came and said that she had met a highly skilled, warm-hearted, and kind-hearted doctor named Dr. Su.

Chen Xiuer continued, "Then what precautions should I take to correct the baby's position?"

"When you get home tonight, try the knee-chest position as I told you. It will help correct the baby's position. It looks like the baby is about to engage in the pelvis, and you should give birth around next week. Remember not to do any heavy work these next few days to avoid sudden exertion that could cause your water to break prematurely or the baby to become malpositioned further. If anything happens, come find me anytime."

As she spoke, she secretly added some more potent spiritual spring water to the bowl of medicine she gave Chen Xiuer.

Aunt Wang nodded repeatedly, expressing her deepest gratitude. Chen Xiuer also said gratefully, "Thank you, Comrade Su, I'll remember that!"

Grandma Sun, standing to the side, couldn't help but sarcastically remark, "It's so real, who knows if it's just a hoax..."

Without looking up, Su Wanqing served medicine to the next person and casually replied, "Are you trying to scare us? When some of our older colleagues get sick and can't move, please don't come to the clinic to see me."

Grandma Sun was once again rendered speechless. If she were sick, she would definitely go to see a doctor; after all, a doctor was much better than someone as clueless as her!

Things went much more smoothly after that.

Su Wanqing gave the entire village a preventative medicine, and even fed the baby she was holding some spiritual spring water.

"Comrade Xiao Su, our regiment raises quite a few cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks. Do we need to give them medicine?" Liu Shuqing felt that diarrhea might not kill people, but it would be troublesome if livestock got sick.

Su Wanqing thought for a moment. The original text didn't mention livestock, so her cousin might have forgotten when writing it. But she could feed them medicine mixed with spiritual spring water as a preventative measure, so she nodded: "Feed them all!"

She brought a lot of oxytetracycline this time. After it's returned tenfold, any livestock that gets sick will be brought back to life with just one dose! So, there's nothing wrong with her being a veterinarian.

This time, Liu Shuqing was really determined. Adhering to the principle of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free," he fed preventative medicine to all the chickens and ducks roaming the village, as well as the cattle and sheep in their pens, and conducted a thorough inventory.

After taking stock, when he saw that more than two hundred people in the whole village had been infected, his face turned ashen with anger!

Fortunately, there was a large warehouse connected to the command post, which was spacious. Since it was summer, they could temporarily house the quarantined people by laying some dry straw mats on the ground. Otherwise, they would have no idea where to put so many people!

"Comrade Xiao Su, if you hadn't discovered it early and acted decisively this time, I'm afraid everyone would have collapsed tomorrow!" Liu Shuqing broke out in a cold sweat.

It's only been a little over a day! If it had been a day or two later, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

Su Wanqing smiled slightly. In the original story, tomorrow the whole village would have a massive outbreak, with people vomiting, having diarrhea, and high fever, and becoming completely paralyzed.

"Officer Liu, the source of infection has now been found and cut off, and the whole village has taken preventative medication. As long as the isolation measures are in place, there will be no more large-scale spread, so you can rest assured."

Liu Shuqing breathed a long sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good! I'll leave the treatment and observation of the quarantined individuals to you, Comrade Xiao Su!"

Su Wanqing nodded, and seeing that things were temporarily settled, she got up and went home to prepare dinner.

Liu Shuqing, on the other hand, still had a lot of coordination, reassurance, and reporting work to do. He rubbed his throbbing temples, then hurriedly got on his bicycle and rushed to the county hospital to find Secretary Li.

"Master, I really can't hold on any longer!!"

Liu Shuqing went to complain.

He felt anxious and exhausted during the days that Secretary Li was away!

When Li Aiguo saw Liu Shuqing arrive in the ward, he couldn't help but start complaining. He felt anxious and exhausted during his stay in the hospital these past few days!

"That son of a bitch Chen Weidong is a real scoundrel. The generator that was originally allocated to our regiment was given to the 61st Regiment. The 61st Regiment only grows apricots, peaches, and apples. They don't grow much wheat, and it doesn't need to be husked. What kind of generator do they need?"

"Besides, several regiments around us are scrambling for diesel generators, so they'd be better suited for use by other regiments than the 61st Regiment."

Liu Shuqing's heart skipped a beat. The whole village was still infected, and now he was facing another epic problem?

There are still more than half a month until the autumn harvest. The whole village is digging ditches and irrigating day and night. They need to irrigate enough water during the heading and grain-filling stages. Things will be better after the autumn harvest.

The autumn harvest is tough; it requires working through the night, sometimes 14 hours a day.

Who would have thought that after the autumn harvest, people would still have to pull stone rollers to crush and thresh the grain? Wouldn't that make everyone suffer a lot?

If he could find a diesel generator anywhere, he'd be willing to kneel down and call the other person "grandpa"!

……

……

"Who are you? What are you doing, loitering around my doorstep?"

As soon as Su Wanqing returned to the front of the red brick house, she saw a strange man peering furtively into the house through the window. Fortunately, she had habitually drawn the curtains before leaving home that morning.

The man suddenly turned around, his face initially showing displeasure and gloom, but upon seeing Su Wanqing, his eyes flashed with amazement, and he instantly put on a refined smile.

He pushed up his glasses. "Oh, lady, I'm Chen Weidong. This room... well, it was originally supposed to be mine. I was just curious and came to see who had the connections to move in. Oh, it's you?"
