Chapter 130 Chapter 130 Poor
Xu Xiaofang had a fierce look on her face, and it was obvious that she was here to cause trouble.
She pinched Liu Erya's arm fiercely, totally ignoring the pale face of the little girl. When Liu Erya heard footsteps coming upstairs, a panicked look flashed across her face. She tried hard to break free from her mother's hand, but it was a pity that she was just a little girl of six years old, how could she have that much strength? Not only did she fail to break free, but her mother also hit her twice without mercy. The little girl was hurt by the beating, but she didn't dare to make a sound. She could only frown and hold back her tears, with big beads of sweat sliding down her forehead.
Lin Yue didn't know what she was doing here, and she brought two children with her. She looked at Xu Xiaofang warily, fearing that she would go crazy and hurt the children again.
When Xu Xiaofang saw Lin Yue, she immediately dragged Liu Erya to Lin Yue with great momentum. Liu Erya was dragged by her mother and staggered, almost falling to the ground. Xu Xiaofang threw her in front of Lin Yue and said fiercely: "The little girl in your family has eaten something bad, you see what to do!"
Lin Yue was startled and asked hurriedly, "Is it our Lingling? What's going on?"
When Liu Erya saw Lin Yue, she panicked even more. She shrank back as much as she could, trying to hide herself, not daring to face Lin Yue directly.
"It's your daughter. I don't know what you fed my child. He has had diarrhea all day and can't do anything!"
Lin Yue was still a little confused. She squatted down and asked Liu Erya: "Erya, what did Lingling give you to eat? When did you eat it?"
Seeing that Liu Erya still didn't say anything, Xu Xiaofang hit her hard and said, "Hurry up and tell me. If you don't tell me clearly, I will beat you to death!"
Liu Erya shuddered and could only say, "Meat, biscuits, and, and eggs."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaofang flew into a rage and yelled, "You loser, do I need you to eat or wear? You go and ask for other people's things! I will eat you to death! When you were eating meat, why didn't you think about your brother? He has been weak since he was a child. Why didn't you think of sharing some of the delicious food with your brother? You are such a heartless person. I have raised you in vain!"
She was scolding and pulling the child around as if to vent her anger. Lin Yue couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Mrs. Xu, you shouldn't scold a child like that. The child just ate something. You shouldn't do that."
Xu Xiaofang threw the child back, put her hands on her hips and cursed: "I haven't settled the score with you yet, but you're already saying frivolous things! I don't even know what kind of meat your girl gave us to eat, whether it was bad or not. Now my child is like this, your family has to pay for it!"
"Now is not the time to argue about this. The child has severe diarrhea. Have you taken him to the hospital? Is it urgent?"
Xu Xiaofang didn't take it seriously. "My child is mine. I know what's going on. You don't need to be so kind. Just pay the money first! You eat all kinds of delicious food at home, but you gave some rotten meat to my child. Now that there's something wrong with the child, I'm definitely going to look for you!"
They were making so much noise that many people stuck their heads out of the door to look. Xu Xiaodi heard the noise, came out of the house, stood at the door and asked, "Lin Yue, what's going on?"
Lin Yue turned around and saw her, and quickly said, "It's nothing, there was some misunderstanding with Mrs. Xu, you should go into the house quickly." She was pregnant, and Lin Yue was really afraid that Xu Xiaofang would pinch his arm without paying attention.
Maybe it was because she was too scared, but Liu Erya was thrown to the ground by her mother and didn't get up for a long time. Lin Yue didn't want to waste time talking to Xu Xiaofang, so he ran over to check on the child.
Lin Yue turned Liu Erya over and found that the child had her eyes tightly closed and was unconscious. She called Xu Xiaofang to come over and see, but Xu Xiaofang still didn't believe it and cursed: "I didn't hit or scold her, how could she be in trouble? This child is the best at pretending, maybe she is pretending again!"
Lin Yue had never seen such a mother before. Even in Xiaotian Village, no matter how little a family valued girls, they would not treat a child like this. She didn't want to say anything more, so she picked up the child and sent him to the hospital. When she was about to leave, she saw that Xu Xiaodi hadn't entered the house yet, so she asked, "Please go to the kindergarten to call Lingling back and ask her to come to the hospital to see me directly. I have to ask her what she gave me to eat."
Xu Xiaodi nodded and was about to go to the staircase. Lin Yue reminded her again: "It's not urgent, just take your time, don't walk too fast!"
As Xu Xiaodi went downstairs, she replied, "Got it!"
Lin Yue looked at Xu Xiaofang and urged, "Why are you still standing here? Hurry up and leave!"
Xu Xiaofang still didn't believe that her daughter would be in trouble, so she wanted to hit her twice when she saw the chance, thinking that this would wake the child up. Lin Yue didn't know what to say, so he walked downstairs with the child in his arms, saying, "If your child got sick because of the food Lingling gave you, I'll pay for the hospital. Now the most urgent thing is to go to the hospital to see how the child is. If you don't go, and something happens to the child, you will bear the consequences yourself!"
Xu Xiaofang followed him reluctantly after hearing this, muttering, "How can a loser be so delicate? She still needs to go to the hospital. I think she can just go home and have a good sleep!"
The conditions in the military hospital were relatively good, but still couldn't compare to later generations. When the doctor heard that the child had eaten something wrong and was now in a coma, he immediately arranged for a gastric lavage. Fortunately, Lingling arrived fairly quickly, and Lin Yue pulled her aside to tell him everything. When Lingling saw Erya lying motionless on the bed, she finally realized that she was scared, and didn't dare to hide anything, and told him everything.
Lingling has a strong personality. Liu Erya is the only girl she has ever seen who dares to climb such a high tree. She has always wanted to be friends with Liu Erya, but unfortunately Liu Erya doesn't seem to have much affection for her. Later, after Lingling pestered her for a long time, Liu Erya slowly got closer to her. However, Liu Erya often asked Lingling for some delicious food, and would get angry if she didn't give it to her. If it were another child, Lingling would have stopped playing with him long ago, but she felt sorry for her and generously shared her snacks with her.
Yesterday, Liu Erya asked Lingling for meat again, but the family hadn't cooked any meat dishes in the past few days, and Lingling had no choice. However, Liu Erya was so pitiful that she said she hardly ate meat, and the delicious food at home was reserved for her younger brother, and she never got a share. Lingling felt sympathetic and secretly took a lot of dried meat and biscuits from home for her, and even saved her own eggs from the morning and gave them to her.
After listening to Ling Ling's words and considering Liu Erya's physical condition, the doctor quickly concluded that Liu Erya had diarrhea because she had not eaten meat for a long time and her stomach was not used to meat. But this child had more than just this problem. Due to long-term malnutrition, she had more serious anemia symptoms. Now that she was weak, the adverse consequences of anemia were apparent.
The doctor who treated Erya was a female doctor in her forties, her last name was Qin. She sternly scolded Xu Xiaofang. People were coming and going in the hospital. Xu Xiaofang was scolded until her face turned red. She muttered unconvincedly: "Isn't it the same for everyone? Whose family doesn't raise children this way? Why is she the only one who is so rich!"
Doctor Qin said angrily: "You are also a woman, why do you dislike your daughter so much? I really doubt whether this child is your biological child!"
Lin Yue had the same idea. Seeing Xu Xiaofang speechless, he felt relieved. Xu Xiaodi came later than Lingling. She stood aside and heard what Doctor Qin said. She silently touched her belly, which was not yet pregnant, and a determined light appeared in her eyes.
Lin Yue was so anxious that she didn't see her coming. She called out in surprise, "Xu Xiaodi, why are you here?" She pulled Xu Xiaodi to sit down and said, "It's very safe in the military area. Just let Lingling come by herself. You're pregnant, come and rest."
Doctor Qin frowned when Lin Yue called her name and asked, "Are you two sisters?" She was referring to Xu Xiaodi and Xu Xiaofang. Xu Xiaodi quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, we are not related at all, we just happen to have the same last name."
At this time, most girls were named XXiaoX, which was not uncommon. Doctor Qin's face looked better and he said, "Since you are pregnant, you should avoid crowded places. You should also find someone to accompany you when you come to the hospital. Be careful not to be bumped by others."
Xu Xiaodi nodded quickly to indicate that she had taken note of it.
Xu Xiaofang was getting impatient and asked, "Doctor Qin, since the child is fine, can we go home?"
"Why go home? I have to give my child an IV and a blood transfusion today. Such a young child has been in such a state of distress. If you don't know, you would think this happened in the countryside four or five years ago!"
Xu Xiaofang's face turned red with embarrassment, but perhaps because she was born with a fear of the profession of doctor, she did not dare to say anything.
Lin Yue stood up and said, "Now that the children are settled, let's go back first. It's past lunch time and the children haven't eaten yet."
Xu Xiaofang was furious when she heard this. She stopped the man and refused to let him go. She said unreasonably, "Who will pay for the medical expenses if you leave? The reason why our Erya is like this is because your child gave her something she shouldn't have eaten. You have to compensate her!"
Lin Yue was so angry that he laughed. He crossed his arms over his chest and said mercilessly, "How dare you blame us? Your child is in this state now because of your harsh treatment of her. Even if she didn't eat those pieces of dried meat today, her body would still collapse. Don't blame us!"
Xu Xiaofang still refused to give in. "Don't tell me about that. I don't admit it. Pay me back now!"
This woman was really unreasonable. Lin Yue wanted to argue with her, but Lingling's little hand pulled the corner of his clothes. She whispered, "Mom, can we give Erya the money? I will make money to pay you back."
Lin Yue looked down and saw Lingling's eyes full of guilt.
