The couple were close to their neighbour, surnamed Shao, who often visited them.

An ectopic pregnancy can cause abdominal pain, heavy bleeding and even shock, and usually requires medication or surgery.
Chen took his wife to hospital, where she had the surgery that cost more than 10,000 yuan (US$1,400).
