Chapter 174 Don’t Try to Blackmail Me
"Looks like she has a fever." Yang Qing said, and called out to the door, "Linlin, get the thermometer out."
"Hey!" Lu Lin responded and took out a thermometer.
"Miss, can you give my grandson some medicine?" asked the middle-aged woman.
"Take the temperature first." Yang Qing shook the thermometer and asked the middle-aged woman to clip the thermometer under the child's armpit.
I looked at the child's hand again. The bitten area was a little red and swollen, and there was a small pus spot on it.
"Did it only bite this one place? Are there any other places?" Yang Qing asked.
"It's this one spot. This one bite almost killed him. What if there are a few more?" The middle-aged woman was a little unhappy.
Yang Qing looked at her without saying anything, and asked Lu Lin to bring a vacuum cupping device. He picked a small cup and placed it on the child's hand. He vacuumed the cup to draw out the pus inside, and then applied iodine.
When the weather is hot and the wound is small, there is no need to bandage it. Just apply iodine and disinfect it.
Then I took out the thermometer and looked at it. It was 38.3 degrees.
"The fever is not serious, no medicine is needed. Go back and observe first!" Yang Qing said.
"Why not?" the middle-aged woman said unhappily, "Look at the child's face, it's so red, and he's delirious with fever. He definitely needs medicine."
"That's because the child has a fever, feels dizzy and uncomfortable, so he wants to sleep. He's not in a coma." Yang Qing frowned. "And the temperature was just measured, less than 38.5 degrees Celsius, so he doesn't need to take medicine."
"Hey, girl, the child is in this condition. Can he get better without taking medicine? If his brain is damaged, can you afford the compensation? No, you must give the child medicine." The middle-aged woman looked impatient.
Yang Qing suppressed his temper. "I'm not a doctor. I can't tell if the child's fever is caused by a centipede bite. I can't just give him medicine. What if the fever is caused by something else? If the fever goes away and covers up the problem, the consequences will be even more serious."
"It must be because of the centipede bite. What other reasons could there be? My grandson got a fever after being bitten by a centipede. You'd better get the medicine out quickly." The middle-aged woman said fiercely.
Yang Qing sneered, "Okay, if you want medicine, you can exchange it for centipedes. Five hundred kilograms of centipedes for two fever-reducing pills."
"Hey, you, I told you I don't have that many centipedes, right? It's just two fever-reducing pills. You have so much stuff here, what's wrong with giving me two pills? Why are rich people so stingy?"
"That's right. A child's illness is a big deal. Do you have any conscience to be fussy about it at this time?" said a young mother holding a child outside.
Yang Qing laughed angrily, "I have no business having your child get sick. Did I let the child get bit by a centipede? Did I make him sick? If there's no centipede, then leave and don't delay us from doing our work!"
"How can you be so cruel, woman?" The middle-aged woman pushed Yang Qing. "You won't be able to have children in the future, right? How could you bear to have such a young child? Be careful that your child will be born without an anus!"
"You fucking..." Leng Yi couldn't help but swear. How dare she curse her own child?
He grabbed the middle-aged woman by the collar and dragged her out, "Get out of here!"
"What do you want to do?" The middle-aged woman was shocked. She held the child in one hand and grabbed her collar with the other hand. "Someone come and take a look! Someone is being beaten!"
Everyone outside was looking at them, some were gloating, some were pointing fingers and blaming Yang Qing and the others for being so cruel that they couldn't even bear to save a child.
Leng Yi threw the middle-aged woman out of the iron gate and closed it. "If you keep using dirty words, don't blame me for being rude!"
"You all know how precious medicine is these days, so why should we give it to you for free? Our medicine wasn't blown down by the wind; it was obtained through untold hardships. If you can't find it, you can only blame yourselves!"
"If you can't take care of your own child, it's your own fault. What does this have to do with us? It's not my child!"
"Yes, I am so hard-hearted and cruel. If you are not convinced, come and bite me!" Leng Yi's face turned ashen.
It was the first time that Yang Qing heard Leng Yi say so much. Was he really angry?
Yang Qing walked over to Leng Yi and held his hand.
"We didn't do it on purpose. Who wants to hurt a child? It was all carelessness. Can't you understand us? Your family is rich and you don't need this little medicine. People should have a conscience. Be careful that you don't die a good death in your next life!" said the middle-aged woman angrily.
Yang Qing sneered, "Who do you blame for your carelessness? It was you who was not careful enough and caused the child to get hurt. Instead of reflecting on yourself, you blame others? It's a joke."
"Yes, I do have medicine, but I won't give it to you. Get the hell out of here!"
"Xiao Li, do you know her family? Don't accept centipedes from her family in exchange for food. She's so arrogant, so don't eat our food."
"Yes, sister-in-law, I remember it." Li Liang glanced at the middle-aged woman, "I know her family, and I know her husband."
"You..." The middle-aged woman panicked, "You can't do this. You have no right to do this. Why don't you give me food in exchange? I'm going to sue you!"
When the young mother heard this, she quickly stepped back, hiding behind the crowd and trying to reduce her presence as much as possible.
"Go ahead and sue me, whatever you want!" Yang Qing pointed to the road down the mountain. "The road is right there, go ahead! I'm telling you, we have the final say here. I can give it to whoever I want. If I don't give it to you, what can you do to me?"
"That's called 'If you don't seek death, you won't die.'" Someone nearby said, "They just kindly helped you take out the drugs and applied the medicine to your child, and they didn't ask you for anything. What right do you have to ask them to give you the medicine for free?"
"That's right, they're taking advantage of a sick child and trying to get something for free. The beads are about to fall on our faces."
"Everyone knows your little tricks. Not only do you beg me kindly, but you also curse my child. I don't think he's yours, is he?"
"You really don't know your place!"
Yang Qing sneered. That person just wanted to use the child to morally blackmail him.
Don’t you see what time it is? Besides, I’m not a doctor, nor a good person. Why should she kidnap me?
I really miscalculated.
All the middle-aged woman's little thoughts were revealed. Her face turned pale and blue, and she walked away angrily with her child in her arms.
Leng Yi looked outside and said loudly, "I emphasize again, we are not doing charity, and our things are not blown by the wind. If anyone needs medicine, we can exchange them with centipedes. Don't be petty and don't think that others are fools."
"There's nothing in this world that comes without hard work. If you want others to give you something, think about whether you deserve it. Don't always try to use morality to blackmail others. If you don't have morals yourself, why should you expect others to abide by them?"
"In this apocalyptic world, laws are useless. Who still cares about morality? I'm sure everyone heard the gunshots last night. If anyone else causes trouble in the future, they'll end up like those people!"
Everyone was shocked. They had also heard that more than a dozen people died yesterday, all shot to death.
If they had taken out guns just now, no one would have dared to say anything even if they had shot the woman to death.
Only then did they realize that the family in the villa on the top of the mountain was someone they could not afford to offend.
