Li Qiao was about to refuse, but then she considered the injury on her foot. If the child really had any other unexpected situation, wouldn't it be too late by the time she arrived?
Thinking of this, she didn't say anything more, waved her hand and told her to go quickly, "Okay, go ahead, I'll be there soon."
After getting her permission, Shu Miao immediately ran away.
Even though Qin Cuifang and her husband had left first, he took a shortcut and rushed to the clinic with them.
The doctor in the clinic is an elderly Chinese doctor. He used to run a clinic in Beijing a few years ago, but for some unknown reason he closed the clinic four years ago and came to this countryside to work as a barefoot doctor.
Seeing that he had good medical skills, the team leader also reported to his superiors and recommended him to the municipal health school for training in order to make it more convenient for the members to see a doctor nearby.
Afterwards, a health center was set up in the brigade and purchasing quotas for common medicines were obtained.
The old Chinese doctors are quite skilled, and with the help of Western medicine, as long as the illness is not serious, you can get good treatment in the clinic.
Seeing that the three people looked anxious and were holding the child, the old doctor who was taking the patient's pulse said something and immediately came over.
Qin Cuifang immediately described the child's symptoms. The old doctor turned over the cloth wrapped around the child and frowned when he saw the child's face.
He reached out and held the child's neck. After a while, his expression became more serious. He put on a stethoscope, listened carefully to the child's heartbeat, and quickly made a diagnosis.
"The child has a heart disease. I can't cure it. It's best to go to..."
He paused as he thought of something, then quickly changed his words, "It would be best to go to the provincial capital."
When these words were spoken, everyone frowned, and the couple didn't know what to do with the child for a moment.
Qin Cuifang glared at her indecisive husband, organized her words, and looked anxiously at the old Chinese doctor.
"Doctor Wang, to be honest with you, this child was picked up by my ignorant child outside. I only just found out that the child is sick. What should I do?"
Doctor Wang subconsciously touched his chin, looked at the child and then at the couple, frowning and seeming to hesitate to speak.
Qin Cuifang didn't think too much about it. She just thought that he was helpless against this disease, so he looked so worried.
Grit your teeth and speak your decision again
"Well, can you please prescribe some medicine for this child to see if it can provide relief? If it does, then it's fine. If not, there's nothing I can do!"
If it was a minor illness, it would be fine to spend some money to treat it, but for a heart disease like this, she had to go to the provincial capital to get it treated. How could her family afford it?
Not to mention that she has never even been to the city in her life, so why would she go to the provincial capital?
She could never afford to spend all her money for a child she picked up!
Shu Miao remained silent throughout the whole process, staring intently at the old doctor's eyes, as if thinking about something. Until he saw the tangled look on his face when he looked at the child several times, he suddenly asked,
"Grandpa Wang, do you know whose child this is?"
This sudden question left everyone present stunned.
Qin Cuifang glanced at Shu Miao with suspicion, but finally chose to believe her.
He changed his previous worry and anxiety, and began to complain with a sad face.
"Doctor Wang, to be honest, I don't have the ability to send this child to the provincial capital for treatment.
You also said that there is nothing you can do about this problem.
But the child is about to die at any moment. We can't just watch a little life disappear like this, right?
If we really knew who this child belonged to, more people would mean more hope, right? "
Doctor Wang naturally knew what Qin Cuifang said, but he just didn't want to get involved in the scandal.
After all, if the child's family can abandon the child, it means that they cannot afford the child's illness, so it doesn't matter whether they can find the child or not.
He glanced at the girl who shrank back after he pointed out his problem, shook his head helplessly and sighed.
"Oh... never mind, never mind." It was also his fault for not being cautious enough.
"Two days ago, a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to me to see the child. Judging from their accent, they were from another place.
You also know that I really can't cure this heart problem, so naturally I asked them to go to the provincial capital for treatment.
They left after hearing that I couldn't treat the child. I never thought they would just leave the child here and you would pick him up..."
As Doctor Wang spoke one by one, the little hope that had just risen in the hearts of the few people was instantly shattered.
Qin Cuifang found it hard to accept, so she grabbed his hand and asked anxiously,
"Since he's from another place, you probably know where his accent is, right?
By the way, what do they look like?
Maybe it hasn't gone far yet, let's go and try to catch up!"
Chen Yongfu was worried that his wife would not know the seriousness of the matter and be dragged down by the old doctor, so he hurried forward to separate the two.
"Cuifang, please let go first. Doctor Wang can't talk properly if you keep doing this."
After being rescued, Doctor Wang took a few steps back with lingering fear and quickly poured himself a cup of tea to calm himself.
After taking a moment to calm down, he immediately told everything he knew.
Finally, he muttered again based on his intuition, "From what I see, this child's mother is really worried about her child's illness. She shouldn't abandon her child."
It was precisely because of this intuition that he became uneasy, until he revealed his flaws and was caught red-handed.
As for whether or not we can find someone, that depends on God's will...
After getting accurate and useful information, Qin Cuifang took her husband and went to find her elder brother to send people to search along the way.
As for whether she could find the person, she would wait until she found him. Anyway, she couldn't just watch the child die of illness!
Shu Miao didn't care that he was being ignored, so he walked back alone.
