Chapter 510 Postpartum depression
Liu Chen and Mu Qing rode their motorcycles, turned a corner, and passed through an alley.
"Oh my God, what kind of car is that? It's so beautiful."
"That's a motorcycle."
"It's really beautiful."
Several members of the club were talking as they walked, wondering where the leaders came from. Otherwise, how could there be motorcycles in this small place?
Although Jiangjiazhuang is not far from the commune, its economic conditions are similar, and there are few bicycles, let alone motorcycles.
In this era, there are really not many production teams with bicycles and motorcycles. The sudden appearance of a motorcycle is not bad, but it has become the envy of everyone.
"Comrade, who are you looking for?" a middle-aged woman asked, holding washed clothes.
"Hello, aunt, let's go to Jiang Ling'er's house and look for Jiang Ling'er."
When she heard that she was looking for Jiang Ling'er, the middle-aged woman frowned, shook her head and said, "Her home is in front of me. Hey, Ling'er's mother, how pitiful she is."
The middle-aged woman sighed as she spoke.
"Let's go, I'll take you there."
Liu Chen and Mu Qing followed the middle-aged woman and quickly arrived at the door of Jiang Ling'er's house.
Jiang Ling'er's home, like most ordinary homes, is an adobe house with a large yard. However, the yard is almost falling apart, and there are often a lot of weeds growing on the adobe above the yard.
The old woman was about to push the door open when she heard a loud sound coming from inside.
"Mom, what do you want to do? You don't want to be like this, okay? You are very good, really very good."
When Mu Qing heard it, he realized that the voice was Jiang Ling'er's.
"Listen, your brother is crying again, crying so hard, I am useless, really useless, I can't do anything well, I am a waste."
"Oh, it's so pitiful. I don't know what happened. Ever since Ling'er's mother gave birth to her son, the child often got sick, and his father often scolded her. Over time, it became like this." The old woman shook her head and said.
.
"What do you think you can do? Why don't you work all day long? You can't even take care of a child at home. You take care of the child every three days and it makes him sick. How dare you cry? Why don't you die?"
"Abba, can you stop being like this? It's not all my mother's fault that my little brother is sick. Can you stop scolding her? She's already feeling very uncomfortable."
"Xiao Ling, when you should go to work, go to work. If you don't go to work, how can you make money? Your mother is useless and she won't be allowed to work even if she has to work. She can't take care of a child well. Look at the other women in the team.
Whoever is not working and taking care of the children at the same time, your mother, is enjoying the blessings."
Liu Chen listened at the door, and then he understood why Jiang Ling'er's mother suffered from depression and why she chose to commit suicide.
"Ling'er, don't talk about your dad. It's my fault. I'm useless. I'm useless at all. I'm just a waste."
"Ling'er, someone's looking for you." The middle-aged woman knocked on the door and called.
"Okay, here we come."
Jiang Linger wiped her tears, stood up and opened the door.
"Director Liu, Mu Qing, why are you here? Please come to the room quickly."
Liu Chen and Mu Qing entered the house and saw a large yard with some vegetables planted on the edge and a few chickens running around in the yard.
Liu Chen parked his motorcycle in the yard and got a lot of things from the car.
I saw Jiang Ling'er's father standing, looking fiercely at the woman sitting on the chair, holding her several-month-old child in her arms. This woman was Jiang Ling'er's mother. Her hair was disheveled, her face was full of tears, and she kept shaking her arms.
My son was crying, and there were three five or six-year-old children standing next to him.
Liu Chen and Mu Qing entered the house, and Jiang Ling'er introduced Liu Chen and Mu Qing to her parents.
"Hello, leader, I've made you laugh."
"Director Liu, why are you here? Why do you bring so many things with you?"
Liu Chen put Mu Qing's things on the table of the Eight Immortals, and the children immediately gathered around. Jiang Ling'er's father, Jiang Bingcai, looked at the things Liu Chen had brought, his eyes widened like bull's eyes, and he immediately said with a smile: "Oh,
You guys just came here, why did you bring so many things?"
The middle-aged woman just now also came over. Is this the leader of Ling'er Health Center? She brought too many things, rice, flour, oil, and some candies. Oh my god, in this day and age, I can bring you a lot.
It's not just ordinary people who have so many things.
Jiang Bingcai grabbed two candies and gave them to the middle-aged woman who had just led the way. When he took the candies, he realized that these were not ordinary fruit candies, but white rabbit milk candies. During the Chinese New Year, relatives brought these candies.
Yes, this is cheap.
"Oh my god, these are White Rabbit toffee, it's amazing."
The middle-aged woman took two candies and left with a grin.
"Okay, can you stop crying, give me the baby egg quickly, and go get some tea."
Jiang Bingcai walked to his wife's side, took the crying child, and nodded.
"No, Mom, I'll pour it."
"Ling'er, I'll pour it, I'll pour it."
Jiang Ling'er didn't fight with her mother to pour water. She asked Liu Chen and Mu Qing to sit down.
"Ah..." the voice came from the kitchen.
Soon, everyone ran to the kitchen.
Jiang Ling'er's mother, Zhang Yuhuan, was seen squatting on the ground, her wrists bleeding continuously. There was a broken bowl on the ground, and there was blood on the broken bowl.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? What are you doing?" Jiang Ling'er immediately went over, hugged her mother and started crying.
Several other children also passed by, also holding their mother and crying.
"You, you, what on earth do you want to do?" Jiang Bingcai hugged his son and went over to kick Zhang Yuhuan.
Liu Chen and Mu Qing quickly went over and pulled Jiang Bingcai away.
"I was wrong. I was pouring boiling water just now and accidentally broke the bowl. I'm really useless. I can't even pour boiling water well." Zhang Yuhuan said while picking up the broken bowl pieces on the ground.
, and scratched his wrist again.
Zhang Yuhuan's movements were so fast that even Jiang Ling'er beside him didn't react.
Zhang Yuhuan's wrist was bleeding.
"Hurry up and use this to hold down the blood."
Liu Chen immediately took out his clean square towel from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Ling'er, asking her to stop her mother's bleeding first.
Liu Chen first asked Jiang Ling'er to help Zhang Yuhuan to a chair in the living room to calm her down.
Liu Chen watched Zhang Yuhuan's mood stabilize a little, and he bandaged the wound.
Liu Chen asked Mu Qing to pick up Jiang Bingcai's son and hug him, while Liu Chen called Jiang Bingcai aside.
Liu Chen now finally knows why Zhang Yuhuan suffers from depression. Most of this is caused by Jiang Bingcai.
His beatings and scoldings, his dimension-reducing blows, and his lack of concern were all the triggers that led to Zhang Yuhuan's depression.
Liu Chen told Jiang Bingcai that his wife was sick and told him that it was postpartum depression.
"What? Director Liu, is this true what you said? My wife is sick?" Jiang Bingcai didn't believe it. How could this be an illness? Besides, his wife was fine before, how could she be like this now?
?
Liu Chen told him all the reasons for Zhang Yuhuan's illness, but Jiang Bingcai didn't believe it anyway. Most of the reasons were actually because of himself.
In this day and age, it is not normal for men in the team to hit women. Besides, my wife is still very good to her. Since she gave birth to her son, she has not been allowed to work much. Women from other families
, who doesn’t go to work with a child on his back? He feels very good to his wife.
Liu Chen shook his head and told Jiang Bingcai that since he came in, he saw Jiang Bingcai's attitude towards Zhang Yuhuan, which was really hitting and scolding, looking down on and hitting.
After Zhang Yuhuan gave birth to a child, hormones in her body dropped rapidly, and hormone fluctuations will have a greater impact on her mood. Postpartum may also be accompanied by sleep disorders, hair loss, anemia, urinary leakage and other diseases. These ailments can affect a woman's mood and lead to depression.
It may also be depression caused by the inability to adapt to one's role as a mother, the inability to take good care of one's baby, and the inability to tolerate the baby's crying.
It is also possible that after Zhang Yuhuan gave birth to a child, the child was always sick, and she could not work to earn money. The family was short of food and drink, and her nutrition could not keep up. There was not enough milk, and the child was not eating enough and crying all the time. This is also
Caused her depression.
Zhang Yuhuan was ill. Her husband not only didn't care about her, but also beat and scolded her all the time. Zhang Yuhuan, who was introverted, couldn't control himself, which made her illness worse, and she ended up hurting herself.
Jiang Bingcai heard what Liu Chen said. At first he didn't understand, but now he felt that what he did was indeed not quite right.
"Director Liu, look at my wife like this. Does she need any medicine?"
When Liu Chen came, he brought a lot of medicine. After all, he listened to what Mu Qing said when he came. He also brought some medicine to treat depression from 2022. When he brought it, he
I was still thinking about whether to bring something with me, but then I thought about it, I might as well bring some, it will really come in handy.
At this time, Liu Chen walked to Zhang Yuhuan, first comforted Zhang Yuhuan, and then told Jiang Ling'er that such a situation must take medicine, and it would be impossible not to take medicine.
Liu Chen took out amitriptyline, which is very good in treating depression. Liu Chen asked Jiang Ling'er to coax Zhang Yuhuan to take it.
No matter what everyone said at first, Zhang Yuhuan said that she was fine and had no illness at all, and was unwilling to take medicine. In the end, Jiang Bing passed away. She was afraid, so she took the medicine.
Zhang Yuhuan told Liu Chen that she felt pain all over her body. Ever since she gave birth to her child, her back had been sore and her waist hurt even when she slept at night. She felt really miserable when she was alive. She also felt like she was leaking urine when talking loudly or coughing.
When Liu Chen heard this, he realized that this was caused by poor postpartum recovery. Postpartum recovery was necessary.
Urinary leakage is caused by pelvic floor muscle relaxation, which is the most annoying thing.
Liu Chen and Jiang Ling'er said that this was also the reason for her depression, which was caused by physical discomfort and poor postpartum recovery.
In this era, there is really no postpartum recovery. Some people don’t need to do it because their bodies recover well after giving birth. But some people can’t recover after giving birth, so they must do it.
"Director Liu, what should we do?"
