Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

Chapter 47 Luo Chunhua is hospitalized

Upon hearing that the reduction was so significant, Bai Jing truly abandoned the idea. She figured it would be better to use the scraps of the Star of Life for everyone else.

Putting a small piece in the water tank for the whole family to drink is more effective than her buying miracle pills.

"That's it, forget it."

Xiao Jin was stunned. "Host, aren't you going to buy it?" she asked anxiously. "Even if you can't give it to them, you can use it yourself. You only have 300 jin of strength now; you can't handle anyone with even a little skill."

No matter how much money they make, they won't lose face.

Bai Jing thought about it and agreed with Xiao Jin. That old woman Bai wasn't as harmless as she seemed. She might have been faking it when she was pinned to the ground and beaten last time.

Thinking of Granny Bai and Li Yunshan, she said, "Then help me buy another Strength Pill, just enough to increase my weight by 300 jin."

Weighing 600 jin (approximately 300 kg), she's strong enough to take on a tiger, so I'm sure she wouldn't be afraid of Li Yunshan either.

Yes, immediately purchase 300 jin of "Power Pills" for the host.

[Ding, purchase successful, total cost five million yuan. Please check your account.]

Bai Jing's mind went blank. "What? Five million? Xiao Jin, it wasn't this price last time."

[Of course, last time was last time, host. This pill was also purchased from another supplier. The one from last time was part of my existing stock. Now that the stock is gone, the price is naturally different.]

Bai Jing rolled her eyes. "Do you think I'd believe that?"

[Host, the system doesn't lie. If you think it's too expensive, you can return it for a 10% handling fee.]

"If it goes from one million to five million, will the price go up again next time?" Bai Jing didn't want to be ripped off every time.

This Xiao Jin is so greedy for money that he actually resorted to robbery.

[Ding, no need. From now on, any "power pill" with the strength of 300 jin will cost 5 million yuan.]

"Could it be that there's some other kind of force?" Bai Jing was speechless. "How much would that cost?"

[Reporting to the host, there are still 500 jin and 1000 jin left. 500 jin would require 10 million, and 1000 jin would require 100 million.]

For money, Xiao Jin would say anything.

One hundred million? Haha, it really dares to ask for so much.

"Farewell."

Bai Jing popped the powerful pill into her mouth, and an invisible force began to change her body.

Before she knew it, Bai Jing tore the towel in her hand.

Her mouth twitched, and her strength became uncontrollable again.

Seeing the axe next to the vegetable garden, she went over to chop firewood.

A flurry of actions, as fierce as a tiger; but when it comes to actual strength, it's all for naught.

Alright, she regained control of her newfound power.

happy.

After having breakfast and arranging for Bai Ling to take care of her younger siblings, Bai Jing took her mother to the commune.

There was a hospital in the commune, but Bai Jing wanted to take her mother to the town hospital, though she didn't tell her mother that at the time.

It wasn't until she boarded the bus to town that Luo Chunhua realized something was wrong.

"Xiaojing, where are we going?" Luo Chunhua was familiar with the town hospital, after all, it was where she had sold her blood for many years.

Now that she's sitting in a familiar car, she naturally senses something is wrong.

"Mom, let's go to the town hospital. The hospital here in the commune is too rudimentary; they can't detect many diseases." She wanted to take her mother for a full physical examination.

Luo Chunhua objected, but once they were in the car, there was no point in her saying anything. "You," she could only glare helplessly at her daughter.

Bai Jing didn't care and stuck out her tongue. "Mom, we have money, so we're not afraid," she whispered in her ear.

After about an hour's drive, we finally arrived. Luckily, it was a direct bus that didn't stop along the way. If it had stopped halfway, I don't know how long it would have taken.

As soon as I got off the bus, familiar scenes of the town came into view.

Bai Jing also recalled the two years she spent attending high school in the town.

For her, the town was also a memory from a past life.

After getting off the bus, without waiting for Bai Jing to lead the way, Luo Chunhua took her daughter's hand and walked towards the hospital. She just wanted to finish the check-up as soon as possible and go home.

She always felt uncomfortable in town.

"Walk properly, what are you daydreaming about?" After walking for a while, Luo Chunhua noticed that something was wrong with Bai Jing, so she stopped and patted her arm twice.

"Mom, I'm fine, let's go." She still remembered the way to the hospital in town.

Once inside the hospital, Bai Jing took her mother's household registration booklet to register, and the first department she registered for was naturally the gynecology department.

Hospitals don't have many departments now, but gynecology is definitely one of them.

After queuing for a while, it was their turn.

Upon entering, a female doctor who looked to be in her fifties was sitting there, with two younger doctors assisting her.

"Who is here to see the doctor?" a young female doctor asked the two of them. "Whoever is here to see the doctor, please sit on the stool."

Bai Jing immediately pressed her mother down onto the stool, saying, "The doctor is for my mother to see." Then she smiled and said to the doctor.

Seeing that the mother and daughter were accompanied by a child, the older female doctor smiled at them and said, "Put out your hands so I can take your pulse."

Luo Chunhua took out her hands, her palms covered with thick calluses, proof of years of close contact with the soil.

Her knuckles were slightly large, unlike the slender knuckles of urban women, yet they contained strength and resilience.

The skin appeared somewhat rough under the sunlight, with a slight yellowish tinge, but this did not prevent it from radiating a rustic glow.

Seeing the doctor's fair hands, Luo Chunhua felt extremely inferior, her fists clenched slightly, indicating her tension and unease at that moment.

"My surname is Huang. You can call me Dr. Huang. Is there anything wrong with you today?"

Dr. Huang's voice was gentle, and her movements were even more tender. She slowly opened the slightly clenched palm and softened her tone of voice.

This was the first time Luo Chunhua had encountered such a gentle doctor, and she even started to stutter when she spoke.

Seeing that her mother couldn't explain anything, Bai Jing immediately spoke up, "My mother's period lasts for about ten days every month, with heavy bleeding, and she's prone to fainting. She also has occasional stomach aches and back pain..."

Bai Jing rattled off a whole bunch of things, telling Dr. Huang everything she knew.

The more Dr. Huang listened, the more his brows furrowed. He changed hands repeatedly while taking the pulse.

Bai Jing was getting a little anxious as she waited.

Only after Dr. Huang removed his hand from her mother's hand did she nervously ask, "Dr. Huang, how is my mother?"

Dr. Huang glanced at Bai Jing and realized that she was still a child, and there were some things he didn't know how to say.

"Dr. Huang, you can talk to me. I can make decisions about my mother's affairs." Bai Jing was experienced in dealing with people and naturally noticed something was off about Dr. Huang.

"Alright, let me put it this way: your mother has many health problems. If conditions permit, I suggest she be hospitalized for treatment."

Dr. Huang still kept his words to himself, planning to tell the family when the patient was no longer there.

Bai Jing swayed slightly. "Doctor, is there any hope for my mother?" Although this didn't happen in her previous life, her mother's body hadn't held on for very long either.

He died a very painful death.

"Don't be afraid, we still need to do some tests. I'll tell you the details after the tests are done. Do you want to be admitted to the hospital now?" Dr. Huang's first priority was to calm the patient and their family down.

At this moment, Luo Chunhua spoke up, "Doctor, when will I die?" But her words shocked everyone.

“Mom, don’t talk nonsense.” Bai Jing was the first to object, stepping forward and pulling at her mother’s clothes. “We’re already at the hospital, so if you’re sick, we’ll get treatment. If we can’t get treatment here, we’ll go to a big city, to a big hospital.”

At this moment, Bai Jing's tears also fell.

Luo Chunhua was also very upset.

She could have endured it for a while when she didn't know she was sick, but once she found out, she really couldn't bear it anymore.

Dr. Huang knew he had frightened people. "Don't worry, it's not that serious yet. It's just that your mother's condition is special, which is why she needs to be hospitalized. For example, your mother's period only lasts for about ten days every month. There's a reason for this. I suspect that there's something in your mother's stomach that hasn't been cleaned up."

Left with no other choice, she quickly explained again, reiterating the reason for their hospitalization.

To put it bluntly, long-term physical depletion has left Luo Chunhua very weak, and the contents of her abdomen that were not completely cleared during childbirth have made it difficult for her body to withstand such heavy pressure.

If it's not cleaned up in time to give the stomach some relief, it might get worse later.

"Something? What is it?" Bai Jing was completely confused; this had never happened in her past life.

For a moment, Dr. Huang didn't know how to explain to the young girl, so he turned his gaze to Luo Chunhua and said, "You were all delivered by the village midwives, right?"

Luo Chunhua nodded, "Yes, all four of my children were delivered by midwives."

"That's right. The midwife didn't clean out your belly properly during the delivery, which is why there's some dirt left inside. But it's okay, it'll be fine after the surgery to clean it out."

Bai Jing, having been through this herself, immediately realized something. "Dr. Huang, could it be that the placenta wasn't cleaned properly?"

This was something Dr. Huang hadn't expected. "Indeed, is the young girl also studying medicine?" Otherwise, how could a young girl know these things?

Bai Jing shook her head, without explaining how she knew. "Then let's be admitted to the hospital, Dr. Huang. Does your hospital have any private rooms? My mother is not well and can't stand noise."

Since her mother was going to be hospitalized, she naturally wanted to provide her with better conditions, and the family wasn't short of money.

The three doctors looked the two of them over. Dr. Huang smiled and said, "Yes, we do, but it's quite expensive. Your mother has a minor surgery and will be able to go home to recuperate in a few days, so a private room isn't necessary." She didn't mean anything by it; she was just thinking of the patient's best interests.

Bai Jing shook her head after hearing this, "I know, but I still insist. Can Dr. Huang prescribe it?"

Of course it is possible.

"Alright, I'll book you a room for four days first, and we'll schedule the surgery tomorrow." Dr. Huang picked up a pen and paper and began writing the report.

Four days seemed too short for Bai Jing; she wished she could stay at the hospital longer for treatment. "Dr. Huang, could you extend the stay? The autumn harvest is just around the corner, and if my mother goes home, the village will definitely send people to the fields for the harvest. I'd like to wait until after the harvest before my mother goes home, is that possible?"

These words shocked the three doctors even more, proving that the person in front of them was from the countryside, yet he was willing to be hospitalized like this, which was something the three of them had never expected.

"Dr. Huang, don't worry. Our family isn't shirking our work. You've seen my mother's condition, Dr. Huang. If she really has surgery, she'll definitely need to recuperate at home. It's better for her to stay in the hospital so we can work from home without worry."

Fearing the doctor might misunderstand, Bai Jing had no choice but to explain, since escaping labor these days is not a good thing.

Sure enough, Dr. Huang was moved upon hearing this. "Alright then, we'll prescribe half a month's worth first. Your mother's health definitely needs a long period of recuperation." She wasn't lying; if she could take good care of herself, she would naturally take as much care of herself as possible.

"Oh, thank you, doctor. Thank you, Dr. Huang," Bai Jing said quickly.

After getting the prescription filled out, Bai Jing asked Dr. Huang to give her mother a full-body checkup.

“Few people would think like you. It seems you’ve been to school.” Bai Jing’s filial piety touched Dr. Huang.

Nowadays, who would want to go to the hospital for a checkup if they don't have something going on? And if you do happen to find someone, it's usually someone from a well-off family.

This was the first time a farming family had encountered such a situation.

"Nothing is more important than my mother's health," Bai Jing said with a smile.

“That’s right, nothing is more important than health. In that case, I’ll write up a few prescriptions and then find an internist to examine your mother. Anyway, she’s going to be hospitalized, so there’s no rush.”

"Okay, we'll do whatever the hospital says."

After filling out the order form, I also got an order for nutritional supplements. I can use this order to buy some supplements.

You don't need a ticket.

This is also a special benefit for patients.

Bai Jing quickly thanked her and then followed a young doctor out the door. Under the doctor's guidance, Bai Jing paid the fees and went to the private ward.

"My surname is Wang. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me directly. I will usually be available. If I am not available, please contact my other colleague, whose surname is Zhang. We are both Director Huang's students."

Dr. Wang had a good impression of Bai Jing; after all, girls who care about their parents are usually kind-hearted.

"Okay, thank you, Dr. Wang."

"Um, after my mother finishes her check-up, can we go out of the hospital to buy some things? We came in a hurry and didn't bring any things for hospitalization."

Bai Jing looked at the clock hanging on the wall and asked.

"Of course you can, but Auntie shouldn't eat too much oily food. It's best to eat something light. Our hospital has a cafeteria. You can go there to eat with your hospital admission slip. The food in the cafeteria doesn't require tickets, but it's a bit more expensive than outside," Dr. Wang explained patiently to Bai Jing.

Bai Jing was very grateful for this and planned to buy some gifts for the three doctors when she went out shopping later.

"There's a canteen that doesn't require tickets? That's wonderful! It saves us a lot of trouble." Bai Jing was full of shock. "You know, we're from the countryside, and these tickets are extremely rare. Now that we don't need tickets to eat, it saves us a lot of trouble." Bai Jing wasn't exaggerating, after all, these days you need tickets for everything from food and clothing to housing and transportation.

Otherwise, even if you have the money, you won't be able to buy it.

Of course, the black market doesn't count.

"That's why our hospital implements the policy of not requiring tickets, which is also a benefit for patients," Wang Qianqian said with a smile, her face full of pride as a hospital worker.

By the time the check-up was finished, it was almost noon, so Bai Jing hurriedly took her mother to the hospital cafeteria.
