Xie Heng grabbed Zhao Chuchuâs medical box and came back as fast as he could.
Zhao Chuchu shaved off the hair on the back of Zhao Changrongâs head with a butcherâs knife while telling Xie Heng to open up the medical box at the same time. She took out a pack of needles from inside and started performing acupuncture on Zhao Changrong.
Speaking of which, it was the first time that Zhao Chuchu used the golden needle method ever since she finished learning it.
In the apocalyptic world, although there was a severe lack of resources, technology continued to advance and medical equipment was also improving constantly. She rarely had the chance to use this needling technique.
Zhao Chuchu quickly took off Zhao Changrongâs clothes.
The people in the courtyard saw Zhao Chuchuâs hand moving so fast that there were afterimages from the spots where she inserted the needles. Within a few moments, all of the needles had been inserted into Zhao Changrongâs body.
Meanwhile, Madam Ma knelt on the ground and prayed that God would give her a miracle so her son could live once more.
No one dared to breathe.
30 minutes later, Zhao Changrongâs face started to turn from completely pale to slightly red, and his chest started to move slightly as well.
âHeâs alive. Heâs alive!â
âThatâs incredible! Chuchu just snatched someone away from the grim reaper!â
âThatâs great, as long as the kid is okay.â
Madam Ma didnât dare to open her eyes. She was afraid that Zhao Chuchu would tell her that her son couldnât be saved.
When she heard the voices around her, she thought she was hallucinating.
As more and more people started to chatter about the miraculous feat, she finally mustered the courage and opened her eyes. When she did, she saw her son looking completely different. He no longer looked like a corpse.
Madam Ma trembled slightly.
She was afraid that the scene would be just a dream and that when she woke up from the dream, her son would still be dead.
The golden needle technique was extremely exhausting. Even Zhao Chuchu was sweating profusely, with beads of sweat on her forehead.
Xie Heng helped Zhao Chuchu clean off her sweat with a towel.
When Zhao Chuchu finally inserted all of the needles, she heaved a sigh of relief.
She looked toward Madam Ma and said, âZhao Changrong has lost too much blood. I only managed to get him to return his breathing. But if we want to revive him, thereâs something else we need to do. Are you okay with it?â
âHeâs not alive yet? What else do we need to do?â
âYou should know that if a person loses too much blood, he can die. Your son is in this state right now, so we need to transfer more blood into his body in order to sustain his life.â
âDo we need to keep doing this?â âNo. Just doing it once will do.â
âThen, use my blood.â
Madam Ma picked up a boning knife and immediately tried to slit her wrist.
Zhao Chuc.hu was speechless.
She stretched out her foot and kicked the knife away from Madam Maâs hand.
âWe canât use the blood of his direct relative.â
âWhat?â
âWe need to find someone with the same blood as your son.â
âIsnât that just me and Zhao Baogen?
Zhao Chuc.hu felt rather exhausted that she needed to explain this to them. She simplified the theory of blood types as much as possible. She told them that there were only a few different types of blood that a person could have. Many people carried the same type of blood. Only people with the same type of blood could transfuse blood to each other. Otherwise, it would only hasten the death of the patient.
Madam Ma didnât really understand what she said, but she had no other solution but to listen to Zhao Chuchu.
However, Old Man Zhao and Madam Yang arrived at this point.
Old Man Zhao yelled angrily, âChangrong is Baogenâs son. Even if we need to give him the blood, it can only be Baogenâs blood. If the blood of other people flowed within his body, can he still be considered Baogenâs son? Chuchu, what are you trying to do?â
Madam Yang snorted and said, âI suspect that this little bitch cheated on Baogen and bore Changrong with someone else. Now, she bribed Zhao Chuchu and made this show, thinking that she could trick everyone this way and let Changrong have the blood of other people out in the open. Zhao Chuchu, Iâm afraid of you, but I wonât let something like this happen.â
âTell me, who is Changrongâs father? Did you get some other man out there and have this kid?â Zhao Baogen glared at Madam Ma and said with a dark expression.
Madam Liu tried to add fuel to the fire as she said, âThatâs it! Otherwise, how could there be something as ridiculous as getting other people to transfer blood to Changrong? Iâve never heard of nonsense like this! He canât use the blood of a direct relative? Does that mean that we canât use the blood of anyone from the Zhao Clan?â
âMadam Ma, my brother treated you quite well) how could you do something like this to tarnish the name of the Zhao clan? You should be locked up in a pig cage and thrown into the river!â Zhao Baotian added as well.
Zhao Chuchu was completely speechless.
She felt frustration building up inside while listening to these foolish imbeciles speak.
Old Mrs. Chen couldnât help but snap back at Old Man Zhao.
âAlthough Madam Ma isnât a good person, I witnessed the way she treated the
Zhao clan with loyalty. Ignoring what happened in the past, all of you are being extremely ungrateful and heartless and accusing her like that!â
âI know right, wasnât Madam Ma the one who took care of Zhao Baogen for the past half a year when his leg was broken? Cheat on him? She doesnât even have time to do that!â
âChangrong looks exactly like the younger version of Chao Baogen! How can you say that he is someone elseâs son? Are you saying Zhao Baogenâs face isnât a face?
Old Man Zhaoâs face turned completely red as the other people scolded him. But he insisted that Zhao Chuchu wasnât allowed to perform a blood transfusion on Zhao Changrong if she was going to use the blood of other people.
Madam Maâs heart turned completely cold. She had never hated the Zhao clan more than she did right now.
If Zhao Baotian didnât push her, her son wouldnât have died.
Yet now, they were pointing their fingers at her and slandering her?
Ironically, those people who had been fighting against her were speaking out for her now.
Madam Ma felt angry, exasperated, and extremely sad.
Was it really worth it for her to become enemies with so many people for the sake of the Zhao clan?
âIf I, Ma Xiulian, cheated on Zhao Baogen, I would get struck by lightning and suffer the most gruesome death in the world,â Madam Ma raised her hand and swore. âThe Zhao clan has bullied me and made my life absolutely miserable. If I kill myself because of this oppression, I will come back as a ghost and haunt all of you to seek revenge!â
Old Man Zhao got a little scared by her vicious words.
Just then, a weak voice stopped their quarrel. âMom, momâ¦â
Madam Ma jolted and turned her head sharply. She met Zhao Changrongâs gaze.
Zhao Changrong struggled as he tried to raise his hand.
âMummy, Iâm coldâ¦â
Tears fell from Madam Maâs eyes. She hurriedly went over and wanted to hug Zhao Changrong, but Zhao Chuchu stopped her. âDonât touch him.â
âBut he said he was cold.â
âHe died once already. This bit of cold is nothing.â
Zhao Chuchu paused. Then, she looked toward Old Man Zhao and said, âYou have been so foolish for the entirety of your life. You live in your own little world, weak, stupid and ignorant. You caused the death of your eldest son and daughter-in-law, and now, you want your grandson to die too. Are you not afraid that your ancestors might come back to haunt you for what you did?â âWhat nonsense are you spouting?
âYouâre trying to stop Zhao Changrong from surviving right now! What do you mean that Zhao Changrong becomes someone elseâs son after getting someone elseâs blood? By that logic, the blood that you got from your parents when you were born, had long been completely replaced.
âBlood is like the river. As long as the person is alive, new blood would be generated continuously. If you donât know anything, donât try to doubt a doctor. If youâre that knowledgeable, save this dying boy yourself. If you canât do that, then shut the hell up!
âAlso, blood transfusion doesnât need to be done by a man. The donor can be a woman as well. Are you saying that two women can give birth to a child as well? Youâve lived for so many years, yet you canât even discern between basic facts and bogus logic. Have you been wasting your life all these years?
