When Granny Liu got home, she felt a lot of pain in her mouth.
"Ouch!...It hurts so much...it's killing me!"
She covered one side of her face, her face contorted in pain.
When Old Liu saw her in so much pain, he paced anxiously, asking, "What's wrong? Huh?"
Granny Liu let go of his hand and opened her mouth wide to show him, "Let me see, my mouth hurts terribly!"
Her mouth almost made Old Liu vomit.
"Ugh! Old woman, what did you eat? It smells terrible!"
Seeing his reaction, Granny Liu blushed slightly, a rare occurrence for her, and then glared at him, saying, "What nonsense are you spouting? You're the one with a foul mouth! Your whole family is foul!"
Old Liu covered his mouth and nose speechlessly and looked at her. "My whole family includes you, doesn't it?"
"Shut up! Ouch! It hurts... Let me see!"
She felt her mouth hurt even more after she vented her anger!
Old Liu covered his mouth and nose but still couldn't smell the odor.
He looked closely and his brows furrowed instantly. "There's a sore inside! Oops... You have one around your mouth too!"
"This can't be...that mouth ulcer, can it?"
He shuddered. His mother had scolded his wife before, saying that she was so shrewish and unforgiving, always hurling insults and curses. She thought that one day she would get mouth sores!
Could it be that my mother was right?
Upon hearing this, Granny Liu turned pale with fright. She hurriedly went to find a mirror in the house.
If you get mouth ulcers, you'll suffer and have to spend money to go to the hospital! Otherwise, you could be in so much pain that you'll starve to death!
How could she not be afraid?
When I saw myself in the mirror, with two swollen bumps on the corners of my mouth, I almost dropped the mirror.
At this point, she felt like she couldn't even open her mouth properly, which made her even more panicked.
He hurriedly went to the room, took out a cookie box from under the bed, opened it, took out a few dollars, and rushed out.
Old Liu followed behind her, calling out, "Old woman, where are you going? Aren't you going to work?"
Granny Liu's entire lower face was swollen at this point.
She came back, pointed to her mouth, and then pointed outside.
"Mmm...mmm..."
Old Liu understood instantly.
"Go to the hospital? Do we still have any money?" He quickly smiled ingratiatingly, afraid his wife would misunderstand, "It's not that I'm afraid of spending money. Of course, you're more important than money. It's just that we really don't have any money left!"
Granny Liu felt guilty for a moment. What she had in her pocket was her secret stash of money that she had saved for a long time, money that she hadn't even given to her son!
But she couldn't worry about that now; she was terrified! The disease was progressing so quickly; she was scared to death!
She just waved her hand dismissively, said nothing more to him, and headed straight for the hospital.
When it was finally her turn, the doctor was so shocked when he saw her face, which was swollen like a pig's head, that he almost fell off his chair.
"No, comrade, what's wrong with you? Did you eat something bad?"
Granny Liu was terrified, tears streaming down her face. She waved her hands repeatedly, crying, "Wo, Mo, Ci, Dong, Xi..."
She spoke with difficulty, each word causing her to tremble with pain.
Although he spoke vaguely, the doctor understood.
The doctor asked suspiciously, "Didn't you eat anything? Let me see!"
He put on a mask and gloves, and with some effort pried open her mouth. When he shone a light on her, he discovered that her mouth was covered with sores of all sizes.
He frowned and began to take her pulse again.
After a while, he let go of her hand and picked up his pen to start writing the prescription.
He was also explaining to her that "heart fire rises, ulcers often appear on the tip of the tongue, accompanied by irritability and yellow urine."
The ulcer is surrounded by redness and swelling, the tongue coating is yellow and greasy, and there is bad breath. My friend, try to take things easy and don't get so worked up.
