"Really?" Seeing that Li Xia was speaking so seriously, the old woman raised her head in doubt. She swallowed and said carefully, "Little girl, are you telling the truth?"
Her shattered hope was slightly rekindled because of Li Xia.
Is this little girl telling the truth?
What puzzled her was how she could save her grandson?
Li Xia took out a piece of cloth from her sleeve and spread it out in front of the old woman. "Grandma, I'm a doctor."
Those silver needles on the scale are her tools for curing diseases and saving lives.
The old woman's grandson was too weak because he hadn't eaten for a long time.
At this time, acupuncture is needed to regulate his spleen and stomach.
You can't let him eat carelessly, otherwise it will hurt his body more.
"I really met a living Bodhisattva!"
When the old woman knew that Li Xia knew medical skills, she immediately hugged the little boy in her arms and knelt down to her.
They have fallen to such a state that they cannot afford to hire a doctor.
Li Xia quickly reached out and helped the old woman up, "Grandma, you can't do this. Hurry up and get up. You are so old, how can you do such a big honor to me? I can't bear it."
She struggled to help the old woman up and spoke to her with her mouth open.
She just happened to meet him and it was just a small effort.
I really couldn't handle such a big gift from the old lady.
"I can bear it, I can bear it. Young lady, you are a living Bodhisattva. I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life."
Despite Li Xia's attempts to stop her, the old woman insisted on kowtowed twice to her.
In today's world, even doctors would protect themselves. There is no doctor who would treat these poor people for free.
What’s more, these people make a living by begging.
Not to mention doctors, even ordinary people would avoid them when they see them.
Seeing this, Li Xia frowned slightly and said, "Mother-in-law, you are too kind."
Her original intention was just to help the old lady, and any help she could give would be a help.
But she kept kowtowing to him and he couldn't stop her.
This made Li Xia not know what to do.
"Mother-in-law, where do you live?" Li Xia licked her lips and said with her mouth open, "If you hold him like this, it will be difficult for me to operate the acupuncture. It would be better if you take me to where you live and lay him flat on the couch. This way it will be convenient for me to treat him."
She raised her eyes to look at the old woman and spoke.
There were too many beggars here, and everyone was staring at her with eager eyes.
After I remove the stitches for the little boy, I will need to feed him something.
She didn't have much dry food left, and there were so many beggars here, and the little she had was not enough to share with them.
If I take it out here, it will be snatched away immediately, and the old woman and her grandson will be gone.
When the old woman heard Li Xia asking about where the two generations of grandparents and grandchildren lived, she kept blinking, a trace of shame flashed in her eyes, and she opened her dry lips, wanting to say something, but in the end she said nothing. Looking at the old woman's appearance, she seemed to be finding it difficult to speak.
I'm ashamed to say it out loud.
She and her grandson were reduced to begging for a living, so how could they have a place to live?
There are wars everywhere now, and the weather is not good. In the past two years, there has been either drought or floods, and the fields have not harvested any crops. The grandparents and grandchildren live in a dilapidated adobe house, and without the money to repair the house when the disaster happened, the adobe house would have been washed away long ago.
If she hadn't taken her grandson away from home and lived by begging, they would have starved to death long ago and would not have survived until today.
When Li Xia saw the old woman's expression, she understood.
"It's okay, grandma. Where do you live now? Just take me there. The main thing is to find a place for him to lie down so that I can give him acupuncture." Li Xia moved her lips and spoke to the old woman.
Although the old woman didn't say anything, she could still see her embarrassment.
It can be seen that my mother-in-law is a person who cares a lot about her reputation.
He was reduced to begging probably because he wanted to keep his grandson alive, but he was forced by the situation and had no other choice.
The old woman must have been desperate. She could not think of any other way to survive except begging.
There is no shame in doing it to survive.
As an old lady raising a frail grandson, she can only live in such a difficult situation.
The old woman looked at her weak grandson in her arms, then she looked up at Li Xia and nodded, "Okay, girl, come with me."
The most important thing now is my grandson's life.
I have already fallen to the point of begging, so it would be ridiculous to still care about my pitiful face.
Not to mention the loss of face and dignity, as long as her grandson can survive, she would be willing to exchange her own life for it.
She is old and has lived enough.
But his grandson is still young, he shouldn't leave this world so early.
The old woman led the way with the little boy on her back. Li Xia followed her through twists and turns and finally arrived under an inconspicuous bridge.
She swallowed, raised her hand and scratched the back of her head, and said embarrassedly: "Miss, this is our temporary place to stay. We are lucky to be here, and I hope you don't mind. Although it is a bridge hole, it is much better than sleeping on the street before. When it rains, at least we can get some shelter here, and it is more convenient to get water. We are very satisfied with such a place to stay."
The old woman saw Li Xia looking up and around.
