Shen Anyian caught up with Mrs. Qin, and the two of them took Xiao Douya to the health center.
There was only a barefoot doctor in the clinic. He examined Xiao Douya and said that he had just scratched his lip and that his baby teeth would grow back, so it was nothing serious.
Mrs. Qin finally felt relieved, but when she saw Xiao Douya's swollen mouth, she still felt very distressed.
"Doctor Wang, the child is crying so hard, can you prescribe some medicine for him?"
Doctor Wang saw Xiao Douya crying, so he prescribed some medicine for external injuries and told her to apply it to the child. He also prescribed some anti-inflammatory medicine and asked her to take it when she got home.
At this moment, little Douya was tired of crying and dozed off on Mrs. Qin's back.
Her face turned red from crying, her long eyelashes were still covered with tears, and her lips were swollen. She looked so pitiful that even Shen Annian couldn't bear to see her.
She asked Sister Qin, "Sister, you can't bring children into the factory. Have you thought about what to do in the future?"
Mrs. Qin was also worried about this. She certainly wanted to take care of Xiao Douya, but the factory had its own rules, and she couldn't bring the child into the factory.
But she was worried about letting Qin Xiaomei take care of the child.
This time, Xiao Douya's front teeth were broken. Who knows what will happen next time? She doesn't dare to gamble on this.
"I don't know what to do. If that doesn't work, I'll just let Shitou take her to school."
I heard that many people do the same thing, and the requirements in the commune primary schools are not that strict.
Every family has a few children. Parents are busy with farm work and cannot take care of the children, so the older ones have to take care of the younger ones.
When the older one goes to school, take the younger one with you and just keep an eye on him or her to make sure nothing happens to him or her.
Although Xiao Shitou is careless and may not be able to take care of Xiao Douya carefully, it is still better than letting Qin Xiaomei take care of her at home.
Shen Annian, however, felt that this arrangement was not very good.
If Xiao Shitou takes Xiao Douya to study, he will definitely not be able to concentrate on his studies. Besides, it is inconvenient for him, a little boy, to take a little girl to the toilet.
"Have you ever thought about letting someone else take care of the child? If you give them some money, there will definitely be someone willing to help."
Mrs. Qin thought about it and thought of a suitable candidate if money was given.
She had just considered leaving the child at her mother's house.
We are all from the same village, so it is convenient to bring the children home.
But considering that her brothers and sisters are all married, her sister-in-law and sister-in-law might have objections if she sends the child to her parents' home.
But if I give them some living expenses, I believe they will not object.
"You reminded me that my mother's family is in the village, but my mother's family has a sister-in-law and a brother-in-law, and I am afraid of causing trouble for my parents and letting my sister-in-law and sister-in-law gossip about me.
If I give them five or ten dollars, they probably won’t say anything.”
The child’s grandmother is helping to look after him, so what else is there to worry about?
Besides, giving money yourself can also be considered as honoring your parents.
"I hope you can find a solution."
When they returned home, the atmosphere was still chaotic, so Mrs. Qin put Xiao Douya in the room to rest.
Mother Qin had already gone into the kitchen to prepare dinner. Father Qin saw Aunt Qin and said, "Your younger sister was wrong about this. Let her apologize to you someday.
I've already scolded her, and I'll definitely ask her to watch the child carefully from now on so this doesn't happen again."
Mrs. Qin respected her father-in-law very much, but she was very angry that her daughter was injured so badly and Xiaomei Qin did not show up but hid instead.
"Dad, I've made up my mind. From now on, Douya won't need my younger sister to look after her.
I'll take Douya back to my mother's house. It's not far anyway, so I'll let my mother help take care of the child so I can go back to work without worry."
Her words showed her attitude. She was worried about letting Qin Xiaomei look after Xiao Douya.
But Qin's father couldn't say that she was being too harsh, because it was indeed Qin Xiaomei's mistake that caused Xiao Douya to be injured like this.
"Are my in-laws free to help look after the children?"
"My parents no longer work and have nothing to do at home. If I ask them to take care of the children, they will help."
Father Qin no longer objected and nodded silently.
"The child was frightened this time, please comfort her more.
Don't worry, I'll let my younger sister work in the fields from now on, and I'll use the work points she earns to compensate you."
Mrs. Qin didn't expect that Father Qin would do this.
After finishing junior high school, Qin Xiaomei stayed at home for more than a year and did no work. However, her father was willing to force her to work in the fields.
"Dad, if you really let me go to the fields, I'm sure I'll blame me again."
"How dare she? She did something wrong, and she still has the nerve to blame others."
Since Qin's father said so, Qin's wife didn't say much.
When Brother Qin came back and heard that Xiao Douya was injured, he was heartbroken.
Looking at the child's empty front teeth, I held the child in my arms and coaxed him for most of the day.
During dinner, Qin's father told everyone about his decision. He would let Qin Xiaomei work in the fields, and when she earned enough money to pay for Xiao Douya's medical treatment, she would compensate them.
Not only that, she also had to earn work points to support herself. If she didn't go to the fields for a day, she would have no food to eat.
Brother Qin wanted to persuade Father Qin. After all, that was his sister who grew up under his care, and he couldn't bear to see Father Qin push her so hard.
"Dad, why don't we just forget about this? I didn't do it on purpose. It's not about money. It's just too distant to bring this up."
"How can we let it go? She's already sixteen years old, and she still thinks about playing every day. If we don't let her go to the fields, she won't know how hard it is to work.
