Chapter 667: The Foot-Washing Girl Wants to Get the Top Job (10)

The Western doctor Mas came out of the room and said through a screen, "The eldest daughter of the mansion has indeed contracted measles. Your judgment is not wrong."

"Excuse me, doctor, how should I treat her?" Zong Ying tried hard to suppress his anxiety and tried to appear calm.

The ladies behind him saw his expression and had their own ideas.

"Measles is one of the most common acute respiratory infectious diseases in children. It is highly contagious and prone to epidemics in densely populated areas, with an epidemic every 2 to 3 years. The measles virus belongs to the paramyxovirus and is transmitted through respiratory secretion droplets. Clinically, it is characterized by fever, upper respiratory tract inflammation, conjunctivitis, and red maculopapular rashes on the skin and measles mucosal spots on the buccal mucosa. After the rash subsides, pigmentation and bran-like desquamation remain. It is often complicated by respiratory diseases such as otitis media, laryngotracheitis, pneumonia, etc., and serious complications such as measles encephalitis and subacute sclerosing panencephalitis." Thomas first popularized the science of diseases such as "measles" with everyone.

"Dr. Mas, please tell us how to treat this situation!" Wu'er saw the gloomy face of the master and spoke anxiously.

Mas shook his head heavily, "There is currently no specific drug treatment. It can only..."

"Only what?" Zong Ying frowned so much that he almost pinched a fly to death.

"We can only reduce the child's fever first. If the child becomes irritable later, you can inject some sedatives appropriately; use cough suppressants and anti-inflammatory drugs when coughing violently; and supplement vitamin A at the same time. Observe and treat." Dr. Mas gave some existing treatment plans.

"What if observation and treatment doesn't work?" Zong Ying clenched his fists.

Mas said in a heavy voice, "Prepare for the funeral. Save the child from suffering."

"Master..." Wu'er supported Zong Ying who was about to fall. Zong Ying slapped the table at hand with his big hand, "Heal me, find a way to heal me!"

The old housekeeper suddenly thought of what her daughter had conveyed, and said anxiously, "Invite a Chinese doctor. Isn't there an old Chinese doctor in our city who can cure all kinds of diseases, Ma Jingyang. Let's invite him to try?"

Before Zong Ying could speak, the second wife spoke up to stop him, "This disease can't be cured by Western doctors. What can the old Chinese doctor do to help?"

Zong Ying glared at him, "If I hadn't seen you give birth to the child, I would have doubted whether you were her mother."

The second wife lowered her head, her eyes full of resentment, but she didn't say anything.

The third wife and the first wife looked at each other, and the strange feeling in their hearts became stronger.

"Please. Go and invite him now. Wu'er, you go." Zong Ying gave an order to his most trusted follower, "If you can't invite him back, don't come back in the future."

The old housekeeper who made the suggestion looked embarrassed, "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to invite Ma Jingyang?"

"What's wrong?" Zong Ying turned to look at him.

The old housekeeper gritted his teeth and told the grievances between Ma Jingyang's ancestors and the old master of the Zong family.

It turned out that Ma Jingyang's ancestors were also in the rice business. At that time, the old master of the Zong family was still a young man helping the Ma family. Later, for some unknown reason, the Ma family suddenly failed and had to sell the rice business to survive, but the old master of the Zong family suddenly made a fortune and actually took over the management of the Ma family's rice business. At that time, people said that it was the old master of the Zong family who tripped up the Ma family.

As if to prove people's conjecture, several generations of the Ma family have been looking for trouble with the Zong family. However, because they had no future, the several heads of the Zong family did not take them seriously. The Ma family only became more active in the generation of Ma Jingyang.

"Now that the Zong family can use the Ma family, they may ask Ma Jingyang for help, but Ma Jingyang may not necessarily help them."

"Whether I am invited or not, I will go." Zong Ying, who suddenly learned about these grievances, felt a little heavy. He glanced at his daughter behind the door and made up his mind.

"Master, you can't go. What if Ma Jingyang humiliates you?" The eldest wife held his hand.

"No matter how Ma Jingyang treats me, Yuanyuan's life depends on him." Zong Ying sighed heavily, patted her hands, and instructed, "When I'm not in the mansion, this family depends on you. You should listen to the Western doctor now, prepare what you should prepare, and help as much as you can. I will go to invite Ma Jingyang. If he can come, it will be a blessing for Yuanyuan; if he can't, she can only rely on Western doctors. Whether she lives or dies depends on her own luck.'"

The eldest wife's eyes were moist, and she nodded heavily, "I will listen to the master."

The third wife stood by holding her son, thinking that Li Muting was really good at acting. After this matter is over, the master will definitely stay in her mansion to reward her.

The second wife stared at the back of the door. She really didn't expect her daughter to get this measles.

She really thought that the child was deliberately sick like before to win her attention. As for what the little girl Shi Yi said, she didn't believe it. But now, after the diagnosis of the Western doctor came out, she was really stunned.

Zong Ying was afraid that the child could not wait, so she did not greet others and took Wu'er to Ma Jingyang's house.

In the room, Yuanyuan hummed "It hurts~itchy~", and Shi Yi held down her hand that wanted to scratch her skin.

She slowly opened her eyes and saw Shi Yi, wondering, "You..." Her throat was hoarse, and every word hurt her throat.

Shi Yi called Aunt Zhang to pour her some water while explaining, "I am a maid serving in your father's yard. I got your father's order to take care of you."

Yuanyuan looked at Aunt Zhang who had taken care of her since she was a child, and asked with her eyes, "Really?"

Aunt Zhang felt sorry for her, she kept crying and nodded.

How could such a little kid get such a painful disease? For a girl, even if she survived by chance, she would have scars and black marks on her body in the future. How could she get married in the future?

Shi Yi fed her water, and she felt much better, and her hand scratched the itchy place again.

"You can't catch her." Aunt Zhang didn't care if she would be infected, she rushed over and held her hand.

Shi Yi silently gave up her position to Aunt Zhang, came behind the door, and said loudly, "The eldest lady is awake."

When the Western doctor Mas heard this, he wanted to push the door in to check the patient's condition, but was stopped by Lianlian who was beside the eldest wife.

"Doctor Mas, you are our backbone now. If you get infected, the whole family will be shaken." The eldest wife spoke sincerely, and Mas was touched. This was the first time in all his years of practicing medicine that someone took the initiative to care about his safety. However,

the second wife Lan Maner grabbed the eldest wife's collar and said hysterically, "Li Muting, you want my daughter to die!"
