Chapter 8 I want daddy!
She wanted to kill that family.
I even wanted to kill my former self.
She couldn't even understand why she was so obsessed in her previous life and was willing to abandon such a small child.
Doctor Li shook his head, and gently placed his wrinkled hands on the little girl's head, stroking her soft hair.
"My dear, your mother didn't sell you. She...she just temporarily placed you in that family."
Tuan'er was confused. She was too young to understand what foster care was.
All she knew was that her mother abandoned her that day and left her to someone else.
"It's sold. Tuan'er saw it."
Tuan'er puffed up his cheeks, tears welling in his big eyes:
"I chased Mother for so long... I begged her not to leave. I kept chasing her and fell many times, but she never looked back at me."
After saying that, the little girl started crying again.
She waited for her mother at the door every day, but her mother never came to pick her up.
Doctor Li sighed, not knowing how to explain to Tuan'er.
After all, it is true that Meng Mingshu abandoned Tuan'er.
"Grandpa Li, will you also sell Tuan'er? Tuan'er is something we eat very little..."
Doctor Li shook his head firmly, his heart softening. "My dear, no one will sell you out again, not even your mother."
Tuan'er didn't believe it, and just stared at Doctor Li and asked, "Can Tuan'er stay with you in the future?"
The little girl felt that the person in front of her had no ill will towards her.
"Your mother..."
As soon as Doctor Li mentioned Meng Mingshu, the little girl reacted strongly.
She shook her head like a rattle,
"I don't want mother, Tuan'er doesn't want mother!"
"Mother will sell me, and I will never see Father again."
The little girl had been abandoned once and was obviously stressed.
I am very afraid of Meng Mingshu, and I am also afraid that it will happen again.
"Grandpa Li, please, Tuan'er doesn't want my mother. Please help me find my father. He will give you a lot of money."
Doctor Li looked at the child who was obviously afraid of rejection and could only speak to comfort him:
"Okay, Tuan'er, be good. Stay with me from now on. I will help you find your father."
After Doctor Li said this, Tuan'er was obviously relieved.
"thank you."
She whispered, "Tuan'er will definitely repay you in the future."
Meng Mingshu felt bitter. Tuan'er didn't talk to her, didn't want her to get close to him, and only rejected her.
My daughter loved her the most.
Even though Xiao Yan gave the most and took the most care of her, Tuan'er was still the one who stuck with her the most and loved her the most.
If Xiao Yan made her unhappy, Tuan'er would puff up her face and glare at her father regardless of right or wrong.
He hugged her and kissed her like a little kid, telling her not to be angry.
After Tuan'er fell asleep, Doctor Li spoke to comfort him:
"The child is young and she misunderstood you selling her. She will be fine after some time."
Meng Mingshu smiled bitterly: "This is what I deserve. As long as Tuan'er is fine, I don't care if she hates me or blames me."
Meng Mingshu lowered her head and kissed her daughter's little face.
She could only approach Tuan'er when she was asleep.
After the loving kiss, Meng Mingshu took a warm handkerchief and carefully wiped Tuan'er's hands and face, fearing that Tuan'er would find out and feel disgusted when he woke up.
Her little face was covered with traces of tears, and even in her sleep she was sobbing silently, her body shaking from time to time.
Obviously, during this period of time, we were often in an environment of fear and terror.
Doctor Li: "After some time, Tuan'er will probably have forgotten everything that happened during this period."
Meng Mingshu shook her head.
"She must remember that I left her behind."
Tuan'er is only three years old, but he is a precocious child.
She inherited Xiao Yan's brain and has been extremely smart since childhood.
He also has a good memory and can memorize everything he reads.
"In the past, her father was very indulgent towards her, and I would be much stricter, but no matter what, she never said she hated me."
Her daughter is very sweet.
Perhaps it was Xiao Yan who taught her this, she would say all day long that she loved her mother and that her mother was the best.
Even if Meng Mingshu once taught her a lesson.
Tuan'er cried loudly, but still said that he loved his mother the most and asked her not to be angry.
If I say I hate her now, then maybe I really do.
But that's what happens when you sow evil seeds and reap evil results.

In the evening.
Anfeng Village started serving food.
Half an hour later, Meng Mingshu released the flares they had brought with them.
Xu Shaozhang's men arrived soon.
Everything went better than expected.
"Is this your daughter?"
Xu Shaozhang's eyes fell on the child in Meng Mingshu's arms, and his brows frowned slightly.
The child was even thinner than he had imagined, not much bigger than a kitten, and seemed to be still in a coma.
"The child has been poisoned. We must hurry back to the clinic."
When Xu Shaozhang heard the news, he did not dare to delay for a moment.
He snatched the child directly from Meng Mingshu's arms:
"I will ride back to Suixian with the child, and Lin Wu will take Doctor Li."
Meng Mingshu opened her lips but said nothing.
In her current condition, she really couldn't ride a horse with her daughter.
"Lin Qi, Anfeng Village is now in your hands."
"Don't worry, sir."
When we arrived at the clinic, it was already dark.
The other doctors prepared by Xu Shaozhang had also been waiting for a long time.
Doctor Li was on horseback behind him, so Xu Shaozhang did not delay and asked these doctors to see the patient directly.
When Meng Mingshu and Doctor Li arrived, these doctors had already written prescriptions.
Doctor Li grabbed it and looked at it, his brows furrowed.
“So many doctors?”
Xu Shaozhang explained, "Since you haven't come back yet, the child has been running a fever, so I asked someone to find a new doctor."
The room was full of invited doctors, talking at once.
Doctor Li nodded, and he walked forward to look at the prescriptions written by these people, his brows furrowed more and more.
"You're all treating it as a cold?"
The doctors nodded:
"This child has such a high fever, he must have caught a cold."
"Quacks, all of them are quacks!"
Doctor Li scoffed coldly, "This child has been poisoned. Can't you see that?"
"Doctor Li."
One of the doctors came forward:
"Don't you think that all of us are inferior to you?"
"We've all seen this. This child has a persistent high fever caused by wind-heat. The most important thing now is to reduce the fever..."
"You're a doctor too. You should know that if this child's fever doesn't subside, even Hua Tuo wouldn't be able to save him."
"If you make a misdiagnosis at this time, can you bear the guilt?"
The other doctors in the clinic also echoed what this doctor said, and Dr. Li was obviously under siege.
"Do you believe me, or do you believe these people?"
Doctor Li looked at Meng Mingshu.
Meng Mingshu clenched her palms.
Doctor Li has a better reputation in Sui County.
But now so many doctors say it's a cold.
If it was a misdiagnosis, would so many people be misdiagnosed at the same time?
Meng Mingshu was caught in a dilemma, as if she was stepping onto the guillotine.
At such a critical moment, if she made a wrong move, her Tuan'er would die.
Finally, Meng Mingshu looked at Doctor Li:
"Doctor Li, are you really sure?"
Doctor Li nodded seriously: "Of course!"
"Sui County is too small, and these doctors are so ignorant that they don't know there's a herb called Gastrodia elata growing in the north."
"This is a common folk remedy used by farmers in the north. If a family can't afford to support their elderly, they often ask them to eat this grass."
"After taking this herb, people will die within half a month. The symptoms are very similar to those of a cold and fever, but the tongue coating of those who have been poisoned by this herb is much whiter than that of ordinary people."
"If you haven't been to the North, it's very easy to misdiagnose."
Meng Mingshu bent down to check on her daughter's condition, and sure enough, her tongue coating was obviously white.
She suddenly remembered that Miss Wu had fled from the north.
"Doctor Li, I believe you!"
Meng Mingshu held Doctor Li's hand tightly.
"Please save my daughter. She is my life."
It is also Meng Mingshu's hope for survival in this life.
Tuan'er couldn't be saved, and she couldn't go on.
In her previous life, guilt and regret entangled her tightly.
My daughter's tearful eyes are all I dream of at midnight.
She clearly had everything she wanted, but Meng Mingshu still felt like she was living in hell.
Because she killed her daughter with her own hands.
Meng Mingshu begged for regret countless times. If she were given another chance, she would definitely save her daughter.
God has mercy on her and allowed her to start over.
If the ending is the same as in the previous life, she will never be able to accept it.
