Chapter 239 My Mother is a Fortune Teller 24
The police took the Liu family away, leaving only the eldest sister-in-law, Qin Xuemei, at home to look after the children.
The neighbors all gathered around the door, chattering and asking Qin Xuemei questions.
"Xuemei, did your mother-in-law really stick 13 needles into the child's body?"
"This...I don't know."
Qin Xuemei awkwardly touched her hair on her forehead and said with her head down.
"Oh my god, that's really cruel, thirteen needles! You can't judge a book by its cover."
Who would have thought Zhao Yinfeng was so vicious?!
When the staff at the neighborhood office heard about it, they were furious.
I really misjudged it.
I originally wanted to set an example for others, but I never expected it to be such an ignorant and vicious old lady.
Overnight, Zhao Yinfeng's reputation in the waterworks' residential compound was ruined.
At the police station, under police interrogation, Zhao Yinfeng confessed without hesitation.
After she finished speaking, she stood up and wanted to go home.
"I've finished speaking, I still need to go home and take care of my eldest grandson!"
The police were so angry they laughed; they were truly ignorant of the law.
Subsequently, not only was she detained, but Liu Zhijun was also detained.
Because of Zhao Yinfeng's confession, Liu Zhijun not only knew about the situation but also disliked his daughter Liu Ruanruan.
When Ruan Ruan was born, he took her birth date and time to a fortune teller for a divination.
The divination indicates that the father and daughter are incompatible; one has a father but no daughter, and the other has a daughter but no father.
In short, father and daughter cannot coexist.
This is also why, after his daughter was born, he never held or got close to her, and even agreed to let Zhao Yinfeng give him acupuncture.
Liu's father and Liu Yimin were also temporarily detained, as they were also aware of the situation.
It means that apart from a few people who insisted that Qin Xuemei was unaware of the situation, the rest of the family members were all detained.
In the operating room of the provincial capital's People's Hospital, the surgery was successful, but only 6 rusty steel needles were removed, leaving 7 steel needles remaining.
Several of these cases were particularly dangerous, and the attending physician was not confident in their ability to perform them. It was necessary to organize a consultation with experts to discuss and devise a plan before conducting a second surgery.
Li Xiuzhi was both happy and worried after learning the results of the surgery.
The bizarre story of a wicked grandmother who inserted 13 steel needles into her granddaughter's body in order to have a grandson quickly made it to newspapers and television.
Now the whole province knows that a retired waterworks worker in XX County has a vicious grandmother who pricks her granddaughter with needles.
Liu's relatives and friends, including the entire water plant leadership and all employees, felt ashamed.
The leadership team of XX County also felt ashamed, especially the comrades from the Women's Federation.
To this end, staff were organized to go deep into streets and villages to distribute brochures and post posters, carrying out a campaign to eliminate feudal superstition throughout the county.
The police even specifically sought out Lu Yingniang and told her to be careful during this period.
Lu Yingniang smiled and said nonchalantly:
“I’m an artist, a folk artist. I never engage in these feudal superstitious activities; at most, I sell some calligraphy and paintings.”
The policeman's lips twitched upon hearing this.
Seven days after the first surgery, the doctor finally determined the plan for the second surgery.
The risks of the surgery were explained beforehand, but if it wasn't done, the steel needle could potentially cause brain damage and intellectual disability if it reached the child's head.
If it reaches the heart, it could be life-threatening.
Li Xiuzhi and her family stayed up all night and finally agreed, but they made one request.
During the surgery, the child's amulet must not be removed and must be worn throughout the entire procedure.
The doctor hesitated for a moment, then agreed.
In the operating room, Ruan Ruan, who had been anesthetized, lay peacefully on the operating table, her clothes already removed.
The second assistant curiously picked up the safety pouch around the child's neck, examined it, and shook his head with a helpless smile:
"The parents are something else. At this crucial moment, they don't believe us, but believe this one instead."
"Hehe! Take it off! It'll save it from getting in the way later."
Ichisuke, holding surgical forceps, stood to the side and smiled.
Seeing this, the surgeon hesitated for a moment, then sighed:
"Never mind, I'll wear it! It symbolizes that the surgery will go smoothly."
Upon hearing this, the assistant stopped taking off the amulet and instead moved it to the side of her neck so it wouldn't get in the way later.
"Professor Wang, you actually believe this?"
Several experts in the operating room turned their heads in surprise to look over.
Professor Wang, the surgeon, smiled and shook his head without saying a word.
Li Xiuzhi and her family waited anxiously outside the operating room, but the three-hour surgery showed no signs of ending.
At that moment, the operating room door was flung open with a bang, and the nurse hurriedly left. A moment later, the young nurse returned, clutching blood bags and medicines tightly in her arms, her face filled with undisguised anxiety.
Seeing this, the three realized something was wrong.
He rushed over, called for the nurse, and asked what was wrong.
"How was the surgery? Shouldn't it have been over by now? How is my child?"
The nurse's face was covered in sweat, but she didn't stop walking and called out impatiently:
"Don't stop me, the surgery is still in progress, and the doctors are doing their best to save me."
The nurse said this and rushed inside.
Li Xiuzhi's legs went weak and she almost sat down on the ground; the elderly couple were in no better shape.
Inside the operating room, the monitors blared incessantly, sending shivers down everyone's spines.
"This is bad, the blood pressure is still dropping. The heart rate and blood oxygen saturation are decreasing rapidly..."
The nurse called out urgently.
"The child is about to wake up."
The assistant watched as the girl's limbs began to twitch, and her eyelids blinked as if she were about to open them.
"Adjust the anesthesia dosage immediately."
The pharmacist beside him stared intently at the instrument, not even having time to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"No, the heartbeat has stopped, the heartbeat has stopped, Professor Wang---!"
The nurse standing nearby screamed in fright.
"Bring the defibrillator, quick! Have you found the bleeding point? Hurry..."
"It won't stop, it just won't stop, where's the bleeding point...?"
The atmosphere in the operating room suddenly became tense, and everyone was somewhat flustered.
Just when everyone thought the surgery was going to fail, the monitor that was beeping frantically suddenly stopped.
"Okay, okay, my heartbeat is back to normal, my blood pressure is back to normal, okay, okay, waah..."
The nurse standing nearby, witnessing the dramatic turn of events, burst into tears of joy.
"Okay, we've found the bleeding point. Keep going, keep going. The last one, where is it? You little cutie, playing hide-and-seek with me."
Where do you think you're going to hide? Oh! Found you! Heh heh! Now where do you think you're going to run?
A moment later, Professor Wang, the attending physician, put down his scalpel and let out a long breath, saying:
"Thankfully, everything turned out alright. Thank you all for your hard work."
Outside the operating room, Li Xiuzhi knelt on the ground, praying continuously that her daughter's surgery would go smoothly and that her daughter would be safe.
Li's mother also sat down beside her, muttering to herself:
"Nothing will happen. With Fairy Lu's amulet, everything will be alright."
Mr. Li smoked a cigarette, his face, etched with the marks of time, filled with worry.
Just then, with a bang, the operating room door was pushed open.
Although the doctors and nurses were exhausted, they walked out with relaxed expressions.
"Doctor, doctor, my daughter, she..."
"Don't worry, the surgery was a success, and you'll wake up soon."
The family was overjoyed, but on their way to get food, they overheard a few nurses whispering to each other.
"My God, you all don't know, at that time, everyone thought the surgery had failed and the little girl was going to die on the operating table. Everyone was almost desperate and about to give up. Suddenly, everything returned to normal."
My heartbeat returned to normal, and my blood pressure was back to normal; it was incredible.
The doctors were all saying privately, "It's simply a miracle, it's amazing!"
Upon hearing this, Li's mother felt a pang of unease, realizing that the complications during the previous surgery were not due to a misinterpretation.
My granddaughter almost died on the operating table.
She rushed back to the ward and told her daughter about it.
Then, the two of them immediately went to check the lucky bag around Ruan Ruan's neck.
When the mother and daughter saw that the amulet inside had already turned into black ash, they immediately understood.
Li Xiuzhi covered her mouth, both surprised and delighted, and almost burst into tears.
