Reborn in the 70s: The Fiery Daughter-in-law CH3
Chapter 3: Zhou Shixun Notices Something Different about Sheng Anning
Zhou Shixun was momentarily stunned before quickly putting down his chopsticks and rushing out.
Sheng Anning quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks and followed him out, only to see the round-faced woman, Zhang Yimei, who they had just seen in the courtyard, crying while holding a child. The child's face was purple from not being able to breathe.
Next to her was a girl in a white shirt, also looking anxious.
Seeing Zhou Shixun, Zhang Yimei saw him as a savior, "Captain Zhou, my Shanzi is choking, I've tried hitting his back, but it's no use. Doctor Xiao said we need to get to the hospital quickly, and my husband is not home..."
She was crying and hitting the child's back hard, but the child was clearly having difficulty breathing.
Zhou Shixun didn't think twice, took the child quickly, and said, "Let's go, we need to get to the hospital now."
"Wait!!"
Sheng Anning ran over. Seeing the child's distress, she knew the situation was very dangerous already, fearing the child might die from suffocation before they could reach the hospital.
Her medical instinct kicked in, and she directed Zhou Shixun, "The child is in pain and breathing rapidly; we don't have time for the hospital. Press hard an inch below the child's chest, quickly!"
Zhang Yimei didn't believe Sheng Anning, after all, this malicious woman had cursed her before, wishing her son dead.
She doubted Sheng Anning's method and cried to Zhou Shixun, "Captain Zhou, hurry, to the hospital, it will be too late."
The girl in the white shirt, Xiao Yan, looked at Sheng Anning with hostility and also urged Zhou Shixun, "Big brother Zhou, hurry, we can't delay a moment for Shanzi!"
Sheng Anning didn't expect these people to believe her immediately. She rushed forward, took the child from Zhou Shixun, and held him against herself.
She performed the Heimlich maneuver, pressing on the child's chest to increase thoracic pressure, forcing the object blocking the airway out.
Zhou Shixun was startled to see Sheng Anning take the child. Fearing her recklessness and arrogance might jeopardize the rescue, he snatched the child back, pushing Sheng Anning aside with an unprecedented sternness, "Sheng Anning! What are you messing around for?"
Sheng Anning stumbled a few steps, hitting her back against the door frame hard. But it wasn't the time to argue; the child's life couldn't wait a minute.
With anger in her eyes, she stared at Zhou Shixun, "Now you're the ones delaying the rescue, Zhou Shixun! If I can't save this child today, I'll give my life for his!"
She decisively took the child back and started the rescue again. If it didn't work, she was prepared to cut open the trachea to remove the obstruction.
Sheng Anning's angry shout, eyes blazing with anger but also determination, was like a rose in the fire, fiery and thorny.
Yet, it made people want to believe in her.
Zhou Shixun didn't take the child back but watched Sheng Anning perform the rescue, noticing her forehead soaked with sweat, with large droplets falling on her eyelashes.
Zhang Yimei, crying and shouting, tried to take the child but was stopped by Zhou Shixun.
Xiao Yan was anxiously stomping her feet, "Big brother Zhou, this is a matter of life and death, if it were that easy, would we be this worried?"
Zhou Shixun watched Sheng Anning with his lips pursed, his hands involuntarily clenched into fists.
Sheng Anning pressed several times until the child spat out a whole date, followed by a loud cry, finally breathing a sigh of relief.
Zhang Yimei heard her son cry and rushed over to hug him, "Shanzi, it's so good you're okay."
Seeing Sheng Anning actually saved the child, Xiao Yan frowned disapprovingly, "That was too risky. It was just luck this time. Could you have taken the responsibility if something had happened?"
Sheng Anning, not recognizing this seemingly gentle girl from her original memories, and hearing she might be a doctor, scoffed coldly, "You call yourself a doctor and don't know such a basic first aid method? How did you become a doctor?"
Xiao Yan was indeed not a formally trained doctor but had learned from a doctor in town, essentially a barefoot doctor.
After an evaluation, she now works as a doctor in the medical office, primarily responsible for the residential area for families. Whether someone has a headache, a fever, or a cough, she is the one who visits to provide care.
She is very popular in the residential area.
Yet, now she finds herself directly challenged by Sheng Anning, her face turning a mix of green and red in an instant: "How can you speak like this? You..."
She looks at Sheng Anning with eyes filled with grievance.
Zhang Yimei, protective of Xiao Yan, sees Sheng Anning mocking Doctor Xiao. Holding a child in one arm and wiping away tears with the other, she says: "Even though you saved Shanzi, you shouldn't speak to Doctor Xiao like that. Who knows if the jujube was about to come out and it fell out because of your meddling."
Suddenly, Sheng Anning finds the original host's unreasonable nature to have its advantages, as it means not being at a disadvantage!
Laughed off by this senseless woman, she says: "Fine, since you say so, consider this me meddling today. Next time it's your turn, even if you die in front of me, I won't spare a glance!"
After saying this, she turns and enters the house, slamming the door with such force that the surrounding dirt falls from the impact.
Zhang Yimei, furious, stutters: "How can you curse someone to die? How can someone be as malicious as you!"
Xiao Yan goes over to Zhang Yimei, comforting her and gently patting the back of the child in her arms: "Sister-in-law, calm down. Let's see if Shanzi is still feeling unwell."
Then, turning to Zhou Shixun with an apologetic look: "Big Brother Zhou, I'm sorry. We might have misunderstood sister-in-law. Once she calms down, we'll apologize. We didn't realize she was so kind-hearted."
Zhou Shixun frowns and nods without a word, looking at the closed door, sensing that Sheng Anning might truly be angry this time.
Sheng Anning, having calmed down after entering the house, washes her hands and continues eating calmly.
Her earlier action of saving the child was somewhat impulsive, exposing too much in front of Zhou Shixun, whose penetrating gaze seems to understand one's thoughts in a second.
Thus, she must act more arrogantly to avoid his suspicion.
Otherwise, the significant difference in her personality from the original host might lead to her being sent to a mental institution.
After standing for a while, Zhou Shixun enters the house to find Sheng Anning having finished half of a coarse grain bun and cleaned out the remaining half plate of cabbage, not touching the braised pork at all.
Recalling how he pushed Sheng Anning earlier with considerable force and feeling somewhat guilty, he silently goes to the bedside, takes out an envelope from under the pillow, and hands it to Sheng Anning: "This is for you."
Sheng Anning quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks and followed him out, only to see the round-faced woman, Zhang Yimei, who they had just seen in the courtyard, crying while holding a child. The child's face was purple from not being able to breathe.
