Chapter 240 My Mother is a Fortune Teller 25
"May the fairy protect her, may the fairy protect her! Thank goodness I gave Ruan Ruan a safety charm, otherwise this time she would have been in grave danger."
Li's mother clasped her hands together and murmured excitedly.
"Yes! Yes! I don't know what came over me at the time, but I suddenly remembered what the fairy had said."
Let me give Ruan Ruan a lucky charm that she can keep close to her body and never leave it for a moment.
I completely forgot about it during my first surgery.
Fortunately, the last surgery wasn't too difficult, but for some reason, I feel very uneasy this time.
That's why I asked the doctor not to remove the amulet, and sure enough, it worked! What a relief!
Li Xiuzhi was also standing nearby, excitedly babbling incoherently.
The nurse who came to change the dressing overheard the conversation between the mother and daughter and looked completely bewildered.
Finally, I watched as they carefully placed the lucky bag around the little girl's neck.
"Aunties, what are you talking about?"
The young nurse was somewhat indignant, arguing that it was clearly the efforts of the medical staff that had averted the danger.
Why are the patient's family members not grateful to them, but instead grateful to some so-called fairy godmother?
The news quickly spread from the nurses' station to the doctors' ears.
Everyone laughed when they heard this, saying that the family members were quite superstitious.
However, there was indeed an element of luck involved in the surgery that day.
However, everyone believes that the girl's strong will to live allowed her to survive.
Later, the attending physician who was checking on the patients even made a joke.
But after listening to Li's mother's words and looking at the amulet that had turned to black ash but was still cherished by the family, he fell into deep thought.
They mentioned that the high school girl who bravely fought off robbers on the train, as reported in the news, escaped the ordeal because she was wearing a lucky charm.
Later, the family even went to Lujiazhuang and bought many gifts to thank Lu Xiangu.
Everyone in our county knows about this.
Anyway, the story was told in a very detailed and convincing way, and the other family members in the ward all gathered around to listen to it.
Everyone was asking for the address of Lujiazhuang and writing it down on paper, entrusting their family members to buy amulets for good luck.
Soon, all the patients and their families on the floor found out.
During the subsequent surgery, the family insisted that the amulet around the patient's neck should not be removed.
The doctors felt both helpless and amused.
However, another dangerous situation occurred during a later surgery. The monitor kept exploding, and just when they were about to give up, the patient inexplicably pulled through again.
The equipment returned to normal, and the surgery was completed amidst everyone's surprise and doubt.
Finally, a nurse couldn't resist picking up the lucky bag from the patient's neck.
Upon opening it, the once intact amulet had silently turned into a pile of black ash.
She couldn't help but scream in the operating room.
This caused a sensation throughout the entire hospital.
Even the hospital director came over to watch, and eventually, it even alarmed officials from the Provincial Health Commission.
Finally, it was decided to conduct the experiment.
Experimental results showed that patients who wore the amulet...
The success rate of the surgery, which was originally only 50%, was eventually increased to over 90%.
This shocked and excited everyone.
Seven days after the materials were submitted, a black sedan arrived silently at Lujiazhuang at dusk.
After seeing the visitor off, Lu Yingniang couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from her forehead.
The newcomer had an impressive presence; he was clearly from the Six Doors.
The middle-aged man in the lead asked for ten peace charms in a tone that left no room for refusal.
Lu Yingniang was so frightened that she didn't dare to say that she was now subject to a sales restriction of only three tickets per month.
Furthermore, this person insisted that Lu Yingniang make the talisman on the spot, as they did not want the old talisman.
Lu Yingniang no longer relies on her daughter; the talismans she makes herself are very effective.
However, due to psychological factors, she still felt that getting a stamp was safer.
After making the talisman, Lu Yingniang said:
"I need to print more copies and make a mark so that no one can impersonate me and ruin my reputation."
The middle-aged man nodded in agreement.
Lu Yingniang then took the newly made talisman and went to the inner room.
The middle-aged man gave a signal, and the incredibly capable young man beside him immediately followed him inside, keeping a close eye on Lu Yingniang's every move.
Then, what happened was absolutely explosive.
The old woman actually grabbed a little girl's foot, dipped it in cinnabar, and then stamped her footprint onto the talisman.
The little girl closed her eyes and mumbled uncomfortably, "Mommy."
Lu Yingniang quickly comforted her softly, "My dear, Mommy's here."
Then, he quickly covered up the other nine talismans.
Then she turned her head and saw that the young man's eyes were wide open, staring at her.
She smiled sheepishly and explained:
“My daughter is very clean! She just washed her feet, so don’t worry, they don’t smell at all.”
The young man's lips twitched, and he quickly went out and whispered a few words in the middle-aged man's ear.
Then I saw that the middle-aged man, who had been stern and unsmiling since he entered the room, suddenly broke into a wide grin.
He stared incredulously at Lu Yingniang, who walked out nervously, and after a long pause, he took a deep breath and slowly said:
"Is that all?"
"OK OK."
Lu Yingniang nodded quickly and then presented the amulet with both hands.
The middle-aged man pinched his nose, took the bag, looked at it, and then got up to leave.
The young man took out a stack of crisp 100-yuan bills from his black leather bag, placed them on the table, and left without saying a word.
Lu Yingniang quickly took the money, which turned out to be ten thousand yuan, freshly withdrawn from the bank.
"No need for so much, sigh--!"
But the group remained unmoved, turning their heads without stopping, getting into their car and disappearing into the night.
Lu Yingniang and her husband stood at the door, exchanging glances, their hearts filled with unease, unsure whether it was a blessing or a curse.
Inside the car, the middle-aged man couldn't help but pull out a lucky charm. Looking at the bright red and chubby footprints on it, his lips twitched. While everyone else was looking at the road ahead, he lowered his head and sniffed it.
Hmm! There's no foot odor; instead, there's a subtle, pleasant fragrance that's refreshing to the senses. Taking a breath of it is truly delightful.
This put his mind at ease.
......
The Liu family asked a relative to find Li Xiuzhi, who was still at the Provincial People's Hospital, and asked her to come back immediately to withdraw the lawsuit and agree to a settlement.
Li Xiuzhi berated the visitor mercilessly, and he slunk away.
This matter has already become a public prosecution case.
Even if Li Xiuzhi agrees to withdraw the prosecution, the procuratorate will still file a lawsuit to pursue the criminal liability of Zhao Yinfeng and others.
Sure enough, the court verdict was delivered while the daughter was still hospitalized.
The child's grandmother, Zhao Yinfeng, was sentenced to life imprisonment for intentional homicide in the first instance, and deprived of her political rights for life.
The child's father, Liu Zhijun, was sentenced to one year and six months in the first instance, while Liu Yimin and the old man were sentenced to three months of detention with a four-month suspended sentence.
Li Xiuzhi then filed a civil lawsuit for compensation, and the court subsequently awarded her 49 yuan in damages.
The Liu family appealed, but the court ultimately upheld the original verdict.
After being released from detention, Liu Yimin felt ashamed and moved to his wife Qin Xuemei's parents' house with his wife and son.
The old man lived alone, and the people in the water plant's residential compound didn't like him.
Enraged, he went to Li Xiuzhi's family home, blocked the door, and began to hurl insults.
He was chased out by the Li family, pinned to the ground and beaten, and then had swill poured over his head.
Finally, the old man was detained for fifteen days and fined 500 yuan by the police for violating the public security law.
......
In XX County, Zhao Honglian suddenly opened her eyes and sat up in bed; her husband was still fast asleep.
She took a breath, lowered her head, frowned, and remained silent.
Tomorrow is that child's death day. Sigh! I still can't get over this mental hurdle.
Or, I should go back to the village tomorrow and remind that big liar Lu Yingniang, and also go back to see my son.
