Chapter 25 Saved Money, Lost Life (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
They hurled all sorts of nasty insults at him.
May the barefoot doctor and his entire family die.
They cursed him to be bitten to death by a poisonous snake on the road while he was out walking and stepping on herbs, to be carried away and eaten by wild animals, leaving not even a corpse behind.
Those around couldn't stand it and tried to stop her, but Grandma Wang would yell at anyone who tried.
Over time, no one dared to step forward rashly.
The barefoot doctor opened the door from the inside, and Grandma Wang continued to curse.
"Don't go too far. I've been more than kind to your family. If this continues, I'm going to find the village chief." The barefoot doctor had no other choice but to bring up the village chief.
Grandma Wang remained calm and stood up, rubbing against the barefoot doctor. "It was you who gave them the wrong medicine. My son and grandson are no longer normal. If they die, I'll risk my old life to drag you down to hell with me."
The barefoot doctor's face turned ashen, and it took him a long time to finally utter a few words, "You are simply unreasonable!"
"Don't talk to me about carp or catfish, I don't understand. You just need to find a way to cure my precious grandson and son."
The barefoot doctor wasn't unwilling to treat the father and son; rather, the father and son had already missed the optimal time for treatment.
"I don't have the ability. You should take them home and keep them tied up as much as possible. If you loosen them, they'll definitely bite," the barefoot doctor warned.
He stopped talking to Grandma Wang.
Grandma Wang squinted, then suddenly got up from the ground, walked over to her grandson, and helped him up.
At this moment, the person has lost all reason.
Grandma Wang untied the ropes binding him and suddenly pushed her grandson toward the barefoot doctor.
Grandma Wang's grandson bit the barefoot doctor's shoulder hard, tearing off a piece of flesh.
He tried to bite again, but the barefoot doctor reacted and kicked him to the ground.
Grandma Wang was very satisfied with her grandson's performance, but when she saw him being kicked to the ground, she immediately became unhappy.
"You bastard, what right do you have to kick my precious grandson? Can you afford to pay for the damage?"
The barefoot doctor looked at the wound on his shoulder. He had to clean the wound as soon as possible and take preventative medication to avoid contracting rabies.
He ignored Grandma Wang's cursing and turned to walk into the house.
Grandma Wang ran up behind the barefoot doctor, opened her arms and hugged him tightly, refusing to let go.
She deliberately dragged out the time, hoping that the barefoot doctor would also contract rabies.
“Now you’re going to get rabies too, I don’t believe you won’t even save yourself.” Whenever the barefoot doctor got rabies, whatever medicine he took when he went back inside, Grandma Wang would give it to her grandson and son.
She has her own plans.
"Let me go! There's still time, I still have a chance to take the PEP medication," the barefoot doctor said anxiously.
Grandma Wang felt much relieved to see how anxious he was.
"You want to take the medicine now? No way! We won't let you go until you've also contracted rabies."
When the surrounding villagers came to help, Grandma Wang scolded them and told them to get lost.
Grandma Wang angrily retorted, "If anyone dares to take me away, I'll go to their doorstep and yell at them."
The villagers looked at each other, unsure of what to do, and ultimately decided not to intervene.
As time went on, the barefoot doctor found himself becoming increasingly unwell.
He grabbed Grandma Wang's wrist and pried it open forcefully, but Grandma Wang gritted her teeth and refused to let go.
But the barefoot doctor had already resorted to brute force, and Grandma Wang yelled at her husband, who was not far away, "Xu Guangcai, are you dead? Why aren't you helping me?"
Xu Guangcai hesitated, "Let's forget about it, they've had it tough too?"
"Others have it tough, but we do? Your son and grandson are both insane. This person could clearly cure them, but he refuses. And you're protecting someone like that?"
"I really didn't mean to protect him, please don't misunderstand me."
"If you don't come and help, don't go home tonight."
Xu Guangcai had no choice but to step forward and grab the barefoot doctor's hand. Grandma Wang took the opportunity to hug his medicine tightly while counting the time.
About twenty minutes later, the barefoot doctor felt weak and powerless all over, and his body began to lose temperature. He found himself getting colder and colder.
These are symptoms after infection.
Grandma Wang was delighted to see that the barefoot doctor was behaving in the same way as her beloved grandson had before.
But she still wouldn't let him go.
After another ten minutes or so, seeing that the symptoms were becoming more and more obvious, Grandma Wang finally let go of his hand with satisfaction, but she told Xu Guangcai not to let go.
Grandma Wang's grandson fell to the ground and developed a high fever, while her son was tied to a tree and fell into a coma.
"Will you save my beloved grandson and son?" Grandma Wang asked again.
The barefoot doctor's lips trembled, and his voice weakened considerably, "I really can't cure him."
"Xu Guangcai, let him go." Grandma Wang called her husband back to her side.
The barefoot doctor stumbled back into the house, rummaging through the medicine for blocking the infection. He found a white medicine bottle in the cabinet, poured out two pills, and before he could even take them, Grandma Wang snatched the bottle and the pills away.
"You heartless bastard, you still want to take medicine? These are all for my son and my precious grandson." Grandma Wang held them like precious treasures, quickly returned to her grandson's side, and had Xu Guangcai pry open his mouth so she could feed him the pills.
Then they brought water and poured the pills down his throat.
She used the same method to feed her son the medicine again.
After administering the two pills, neither the son nor the grandson reacted.
Grandma Wang gritted her teeth, poured out the remaining pills—ten pills left.
The barefoot doctor limped from the house to the door and pleaded with her, "Give me two pills. You can only take two at a time. Giving you too many will have the opposite effect."
Grandma Wang thought the barefoot doctor was deliberately lying to her, so she divided the ten pills into two portions, feeding one portion to her grandson and the other to her son.
After administering the medicine, Grandma Wang looked at the barefoot doctor with a smug expression.
He deliberately mocked, "The medicine is gone. A scoundrel like you shouldn't live in this world. Find a place to lie down and wait to die. Don't stay in Xujia Village and pollute this land."
The light in the barefoot doctor's eyes gradually dimmed.
He slumped to the ground, closed his eyes, and leaned against the door.
Not long after, Grandma Wang's exclamation rang out.
"My dear grandson, why are you foaming at the mouth? Don't scare Grandma. Open your eyes, Grandma is looking forward to your coming home."
Xu Guangcai realized that his son and grandson were in grave danger.
Even someone who never dared to speak harshly to Grandma Wang could not suppress his anger at this moment.
“I reminded you when I was at the county hospital that some money couldn’t be saved, and the children’s lives had to be saved. But you were willing to bring them back to the village even without treatment, all for that money. Now look what’s happened, the children are dying. Are you satisfied now?”
Grandma Wang, "What do you mean by that? If this family were rich, would I be unwilling to contribute? Ask yourself honestly, who made this family so poor!"
“Even if the family is poor, we can still afford to treat the illness. Now, we’ve saved money, but we’re about to lose our lives.”
