Mother-in-law, please stop making excuses. Please accept these. It’s almost time for me to get on with my journey. Today is our fate. Now that we have met, I can’t just stand by and do nothing. After all, to me, it’s just a piece of cake.
Also, mother-in-law, don’t think that if I leave the dry food and silver to you, I will be hungry on the road. Don’t forget that I have medical skills and I can still make a living.”
Li Xia spoke a long speech to the old woman, implying that she hoped she could accept the things she gave her.
When the old woman heard Li Xia's words, she lowered her eyes and was silent for a moment.
What the girl said does make sense.
She can ignore herself.
But……
The old woman turned her head and glanced at her grandson lying on the wooden board.
The little boy's face, which was originally as pale as paper, did not look so ugly after Li Xia's treatment.
But looking at his breathing, it is still obvious that he is very weak.
The girl took so much trouble to help them.
I must not let her kindness down.
The old woman hesitated for a moment, then she raised her eyes, looked up at Li Xia, opened her lips and said, "Girl, I will leave the dry food, but I really can't accept the silver."
She put the two pieces of silver in her hand back into Li Xia's hand.
The girl had good intentions, but she couldn't eat and take the food at the same time.
Leaving dry food behind is for grandchildren.
It would be really unreasonable to ask the girl for money again.
"Okay, then mother-in-law, you can leave the dry food. If you don't want the silver, then you don't have to take it."
Li Xia was worried that if she said more, the old woman would not even want the dry food she had just accepted.
She thought about it.
The old woman was an elderly woman with a young and frail grandson.
If someone with ulterior motives found out that she had money on her, it might not be a good thing for them.
It would be very bad if you did something bad with good intentions.
Anyway, there is war everywhere and the country is in chaos, so money doesn't really play a big role.
Since the old woman didn't want it, I wouldn't force her any more.
"Grandma, this dry food is too dry. You can't feed it directly to your grandson. It will hurt his stomach. He is already weak, so he needs something softer." Li Xia saw the old lady taking the dry food she handed to her, and was worried that she would feed it to the little boy. She reminded her, "Didn't you just light a fire to boil the medicine? The fire hasn't gone out yet. Use the fire to boil some water. Then dip the dry food in the hot water to soften it. Then feed it to the child. This will help digestion."
She blinked her eyes and said with parted lips.
Although she is a doctor, she cannot bring people back to life.
The little boy had been hungry for a long time and had become severely malnourished.
Even at such a young age, his stomach has already shrunk.
Fortunately, he is still young. As long as he is adjusted and exercised in the future, his stomach will still have room for regeneration, just like a child's.
He just wants to have enough food to eat from now on.
The little boy's body will slowly heal.
When he grows up, the old woman won't have to work so hard anymore.
The old woman didn't understand this. They hadn't been begging for food for several days.
For them, let alone dry and hard food.
Even if the food has already rotted, they are lucky enough to pick it up.
Now we have such good dry food for them to eat.
She was content.
"Thank you, young lady. I understand. I'll go get some hot water."
If Li Xia hadn't reminded her, the old woman might have really wanted to feed her grandson directly like this.
This doesn't mean that she doesn't love her grandson.
On weekdays, some decent people would see that they felt sorry for the old woman and give her some food. She would always give it to her grandson first.
In her heart.
Her grandson is her life, more important than her own life.
The old woman had never been to school, she was illiterate, and she had no idea about medical principles.
She only knew to save the best for her grandchildren.
In the past, when begging at the market, if they didn’t eat the food quickly, it might be snatched away by others in the next second.
so.
The old woman naturally formed this habit.
He wanted to stuff the dry and hard food directly into his grandson's mouth and let him chew it.
Thus ignoring his current physical weakness.
Things like dry food that are dry and hard are not only difficult for a child like him to swallow, but are also very harmful to his currently very weak spleen and stomach.
After Li Xia explained to the old woman.
She is also willing to take action.
If he didn't truly love his grandson, she would have done such a troublesome thing over and over again without showing a trace of impatience on her face.
"Granny, don't just feed your grandson. You should eat more yourself. His spleen and stomach are weak right now. Just give him a little bit. You must take good care of your body so that you can have the strength to raise your grandson well."
When Li Xia was taking the little boy's pulse, she also suggested checking the old woman's pulse as well.
But she might be afraid of troubling Li Xia too much.
No matter how she persuaded, she just didn't want to.
The old woman felt that it was enough that Li Xia saved her grandson. She had lived for so many years and was already old, so there was no need to waste her energy on treating her.
