Is there really no other way?
"Doctor Zhang, is there no other way?" Shen Qiqi asked with the last glimmer of hope.
Doctor Zhang sighed and was about to speak when suddenly, a rapid phone ring broke the silence.
Doctor Zhang picked up the phone and said a few words, then his face changed drastically.
"What? Another patient needs emergency treatment?" He hung up the phone and said to Shen Qiqi hurriedly, "Comrade Shen, I'm sorry, I have to go and deal with the patient first, please wait a moment." After that, he hurried away.
Shen Qiqi stood there, watching Dr. Zhang's busy back, but she felt even more uneasy.
Is this medical reform really going to die in the womb?
She murmured to herself, "This can't go on..." Shen Qiqi watched Dr. Zhang busy like a top, and a bold idea suddenly flashed in her mind.
She stopped Doctor Zhang again and said quickly: "Doctor Zhang, how about this? Can the doctors from your hospital take turns to come to our village for consultations? Although our village is poor, we will not let the doctors make a wasted trip. You will definitely be paid!" She finished speaking in one breath, her eyes shining, as if she was saying something extremely reliable.
When Dr. Zhang heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across his tired face. He stopped what he was doing and looked at Shen Qiqi in disbelief, as if he had heard some fairy tale.
He began to wonder in his heart, this little girl, is she talking nonsense?
The conditions in the village are so bad that there is not even a decent medical room. What can we do here?
He looked at Shen Qiqi suspiciously, as if he was examining an alien.
"Really, Doctor Zhang, please believe me, our villagers really need you!" Shen Qiqi saw Doctor Zhang's doubts and quickly added, her eyes sincere and firm, as if containing an unquestionable power.
She knew that to convince this honest doctor, words alone would not be enough, and she had to show her full sincerity.
Her tone was powerful and infectious.
Everyone around looked over here curiously, and whispers drifted in the hospital corridor like the wind.
Lu Qing had been standing silently beside Shen Qiqi, watching her work hard for the village, feeling both distressed and proud.
He took a step forward, held Shen Qiqi's hand, and wrapped her cold fingers with his warm palm, silently giving her support and strength.
His movements were gentle and firm, as if to say, "Don't be afraid, I support you no matter what you do." An invisible love slowly flowed between the two of them, dispelling the tense atmosphere around them.
The air was filled with a sweet smell, as if even the pungent smell of disinfectant had been diluted.
Doctor Zhang looked at the perfect couple in front of him and couldn't help but feel shaken. Could it be that this little girl was really serious?
He looked at Shen Qiqi again and found that the tenacity and persistence in her eyes were definitely not fake.
"This..." Doctor Zhang hesitated. He knew that the method Shen Qiqi said was indeed feasible, but those old stubborn people in the hospital might not agree.
He scratched his head, looking embarrassed.
Shen Qiqi looked at Dr. Zhang's hesitation and felt a little unsure. She knew that if she wanted to change the current situation, she would have a long way to go.
She sighed softly, and just as she was about to say something else, Dr. Zhang suddenly looked up and his eyes became firm.
“Comrade Shen, as you said, I will go back and discuss it with the hospital.”
As soon as Dr. Zhang finished speaking, Shen Qiqi's tense nerves relaxed instantly, and she exhaled a breath of turbid air as if relieved.
"Great! Done!" She cheered in her heart, and a relieved smile bloomed on her face, like a blooming sunflower, bright and charming.
The air around seemed to become lighter, filled with a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
"Thank you so much, Doctor Zhang!" Shen Qiqi excitedly shook Doctor Zhang's hand, wishing she could give him a big hug.
Lu Qing also showed a gratified smile. He gently patted Shen Qiqi's shoulder, silently conveying encouragement and support.
Things seem to be moving in a good direction, but fate always likes to give you a sudden "surprise" when people let their guard down.
As soon as she returned to the Lu family, she heard a heart-wrenching cough. Shen Qiqi's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition came to her mind.
She walked quickly into the room and saw Mrs. Lu lying on the bed, her face pale, her lips chapped, and she looked extremely weak.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Shen Qiqi hurried forward and asked with concern.
"Oh, my old illness has come back again..." Old Mrs. Lu answered weakly, her voice as hoarse as a broken bellows.
"Mom, I'll go get a doctor for you!" Shen Qiqi said as she was about to go out.
"No, no!" Mrs. Lu grabbed Shen Qiqi and said firmly, "Just take some folk remedies, no need to bother the doctor."
When Shen Qiqi heard this, she was overwhelmed. Why did this old lady always believe in folk remedies?
"Mom, you can't delay treating this illness. You have to see a doctor right away!"
"If I say no, then no!" Old Mrs. Lu was adamant and refused to listen. "I've used traditional remedies for so many years and it's always worked. It's sure to work this time too!"
Shen Qiqi looked at Mrs. Lu's stubborn look, and her heart was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
She knew that if this continued, the consequences would be disastrous.
She took a deep breath and tried to suppress her inner anxiety, "Mom, this time is different..."
"What's the difference?" Mrs. Lu interrupted her impatiently, "It's all the same! Hurry and bring me my medicine!"
Shen Qiqi looked at Mrs. Lu's determined eyes and knew that no matter what she said at this moment, it would be futile.
She sighed weakly, walked to the table, and picked up the black bag of folk remedies. A pungent smell hit her face, making her frown...
