Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1037: Chapter 1031 – Injured Pregnant Woman_1

When Qin Xue saw the pregnant woman, she couldn’t help but gasp. She hadn’t expected the pregnant woman to have injured her leg as well. No wonder they said she was a casualty.

“Bring her in quickly, how is she injured so badly?” Qin Xue asked.

“She was hit by a falling beam from the roof. We only found out she had been there since yesterday when we found her. That’s probably why she’s now saying her stomach hurts,” a local who accompanied them explained to Qin Xue in Mandarin.

“Doesn’t she speak Mandarin?” Qin Xue asked.

“No, she doesn’t. She had a hard life, she was an orphan since young and married a decent man when she grew up. Unfortunately, something happened to him leaving her alone, now pregnant, and with this misfortune, I wonder how she’s going to survive from now on,” the local villager spoke with sympathy in his eyes while he looked at the moaning woman.

Those present didn’t know what to say. Times were hard for everyone, and they could only offer limited help, especially when it came to a pregnant woman. They couldn’t possibly bring her home with them, they could only help in other ways.

Upon hearing this, Qin Xue remained silent. She helped those towards whom she felt inspired, and typically only those she knew well. She didn’t know how to help this woman, so she decided to remain silent. Helping her deliver the baby would be the best assistance she could give.

“Alright, you all can leave now. We need to examine her,” Qin Xue shoed everyone out. As a doctor, fulfilling her responsibilities was paramount, anything else was not within her scope. Although this might sound inconsiderate, there were many needy people in the world, and she could only do so much to help.

She wasn’t a saviour, she had her own family to care for. She couldn’t just offer help readily. She could teach the woman a skill to help her become self-reliant. With this thought in mind, she stopped thinking about other things and focused on the examination.

“How do you feel now?” Qin Xue asked.

“Okay.” The pregnant woman responded. Qin Xue looked up, surprised. Wasn’t it said that the woman didn’t speak Mandarin? Then who had just spoken?

“No need to look at me like that, I can speak your language, he just doesn’t know,” the pregnant woman chuckled, her bitter smile caused Qin Xue to wince. Perhaps her previous assumptions had been wrong.

“You’re not from here,” Qin Xue stated skeptically, discerning no local accent in her Mandarin. She spoke distinctly, as opposed to her own parents who each had their own unique way of speaking.

“No, but I’m hoping you can keep it a secret. Please don’t tell the man from earlier, okay?” the pregnant woman pleaded to both Qin Xue and Ouyang Ziyu.

“Why not? He mentioned you were orphaned. He was trying to convince us to help you, so why don’t you want him to know this?” Qin Xue asked, curious why this woman would make such a request. Was she really in a difficult situation, or was there something dishonest about her?

“Because I was deceived and brought here by him. I just didn’t expect my bad luck to hit as soon as I arrived here. One could say I’m lucky or unfortunate to encounter such a thing,” the woman said with a scornful laugh.

“Do you have the strength to tell us more?” Qin Xue asked as she fetched a fruit from her bag for the woman.

“Thank you.” The woman accepted and began to eat. She was running out of strength, without enough food, she won’t have the energy to deliver her baby. So, she had to eat, she had to keep her child safe, she needed to go home.
