Chapter 1179 Going to the County Hospital
On the other side, in the Li family, although Goudan was a child, he had not been in the water for long and was rescued in time by Lianyi. He went home, drank the ginger and sugar water made by Mrs. Li, and took a nap, and then he was able to eat and drink again.
But Mrs. Li's face was not very good. She regretted that she should not have let her son go home. Now that something happened to save people, her son had to marry the youngest daughter of the Xing family.
It's not that she looks down on the youngest daughter of the Xing family. She is pretty and a high school student, but she can't do any farm work. She married a wife to help her share the household chores, not to marry a ancestor to worship.
Besides, my son is doing very well now and he has made a great contribution this time. He will be promoted when he returns from vacation. His future development will only get better and better, but now he is hindered by his marriage.
Ever since Li Xiangjun rescued the youngest daughter of the Xing family, he noticed that his mother was in a bad mood, always sighing and looking worried. As a son, he naturally knew what his mother was thinking.
"Mom, don't think too much. To be honest, we owe this to the Xing family. Sister Lianyi fell into the water to save me. I can't just stand by and watch her die, right?"
"It's right for you to save people, but...but you shouldn't..."
Li Xiangjun understood what Mrs. Li meant before she finished her words. But if he didn't do that, Lianyi would really die. He couldn't let that happen.
"Mom, I was trying to save someone. If the Xing family's little daughter really died trying to save Goudan, what would our family use to compensate the Xing family?"
Li Xiangjun asked helplessly.
Mrs. Li's face wrinkled, but this time she did not refute her son.
"What will you do if the Xing family asks you to take responsibility?"
"I will take responsibility if I have to. I won't evade it."
Li Xiangjun said in a decisive tone.
"Okay, since you've made up your mind, I won't stop you. I haven't touched the allowance you deposited with me. I'll go find a matchmaker tomorrow."
Mrs. Li said resignedly.
"Mom, don't worry. I heard that Sister Lianyi is still running a fever. Why don't you take some things to see her tomorrow, and then talk to the Xing family about this."
Li Xiangjun thought for a while and said that he felt it was a bit hasty to ask the matchmaker to come directly to the house.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. What's going on?"
Mrs. Li agreed reluctantly and turned to go to the inner room.
After Old Man Xing had discussed with Xing Guoqing, he went home. When he returned, everyone in the family had rested, and he didn't say much.
It was not until the next day when the family of three sat together to have breakfast that Old Man Xing told them the result of his discussion with Xing Guoqing.
After hearing this, Lianyi immediately gave her father a thumbs up and said that she would cooperate and continue to lie in bed pretending to have a fever. Anyway, only her parents and Xing Guoqing knew that she woke up.
After having breakfast, Xing Guoqing went to the Xing family first to go through the formalities, and then hurried to the Li family.
"Secretary, why are you here?"
Mrs. Li stood up and greeted with a forced smile.
"I came to see Goudan, how is he?"
Xing Guoqing didn't bother to look at Mrs. Li's expression and turned to ask Li Xiangjun.
"Thank you for your concern, Uncle. Goudan's fever has subsided and he can eat and drink now."
"That's good. I just went to the Xing family. The youngest sister's fever hasn't subsided yet. Her parents are worried and are planning to send her to the county hospital. You and your mother should go with her."
"Is this so serious?"
Mrs. Li glared at him, with a hint of disbelief in her tone.
Xing Guoqing snorted coldly and said:
"It's not up to me to decide whether the case is serious or not. It's up to the doctor. To save your dog, the girl jumped into the icy river in the middle of winter and struggled for a long time. The dog was saved, but your eldest son got the benefit. What? Are you trying to shirk your responsibility? You don't even want to pay for the medical expenses?
Don't worry, the Xing family knows that you, Mrs. Li, have high standards and look down on their daughter. They don't want to rely on you, but you have to pay for her medical treatment and health, right?
The Xing family didn't intend to blackmail you, so they asked you to come along. You can pay for the cost. If you don't want to go, I'll ask a few uncles to come along as witnesses, and you can pay the money later."
Xing Guoqing's face sank and his words were somewhat impolite, which made Mrs. Li feel embarrassed. However, after hearing what Xing Guoqing said, she was secretly happy in her heart, while Li Xiangjun's face turned red.
"Uncle Guoqing, don't be angry. My mother doesn't know how to talk. She has been worried about Goudan these past two days, so she didn't come to thank you. Just now, my mother arranged for me to buy some supplements. It's not good to come empty-handed."
After listening to Li Xiangjun's explanation, Xing Guoqing's expression eased a little, and he said earnestly:
"Xiang Jun, you have a bright future ahead of you. You must think twice before handling things, and don't just focus on the present."
"I understand! Let's pack up and meet at the village entrance later."
Li Xiangjun understood the village chief's hint and nodded immediately.
After watching Xing Guoqing leave, Li Xiangjun turned to look at his mother, who looked a little embarrassed:
"Mom, now you can rest assured."
"I am not doing this for your own good."
Mrs. Li said aggrievedly.
"You heard what Uncle Guoqing said just now. Take the money and tickets, and we will accompany the Xing family to the county hospital."
Li Xiangjun rubbed his face and said.
"How much?"
"Take them all with you! After you see the doctor, you still need to give money to Lianyi to take care of her health."
“That’s too much!”
Mrs. Li said somewhat reluctantly.
"So you want me to marry Xing Lianyi."
Li Xiangjun asked bluntly.
"In no mood."
"Then take it with you."
Li Xiangjun said in a decisive tone.
This time, Mrs. Li did not refute. She obediently went into the house to get the money, put on a thick cotton coat, and went to the village entrance with her son, leaving the house to be looked after by her two daughters.
The two sisters had a low sense of presence. After looking at each other, they closed the fence and went back to the house. Their mother has always been the one in charge of the family, and when the eldest brother comes back, he is the one in charge.
Lianyi wrapped herself up like a dumpling and leaned on her mother's shoulder. When Mrs. Li and Li Xiangjun got on the tractor, she just pretended to be weak, raised her eyelids, glanced at the two of them, and then closed them.
Mrs. Li and Li Xiangjun looked at Lianyi's pale face and could only ask the Xing couple a few questions awkwardly. They knew that Lianyi had had a fever for a day and a night and that the antipyretics didn't work, so they sent her to the county hospital. They didn't dare to say much, only that Lianyi's illness would definitely be cured.
They arrived at the county hospital in the cold wind and Li Xiangjun took the initiative to register. Xing Guoqing and the old couple of the Xing family helped Lianyi into the hospital.
Lianyi was lucky enough to meet a female doctor. After she found out the cause of the fever, she frowned and said:
"Why didn't you send it here earlier?"
"It's just a fever. We thought it would be fine after taking antipyretics."
Xing's mother said immediately.
"It's winter now, you know how cold the river water is. She's a girl, and soaking in ice water can cause her body damage. Others may not know, but you, as a mother, must know how much."
The female doctor spoke rudely. Some people like to wait until minor illnesses turn into major ones before going to the hospital. If the illness cannot be cured, they blame the doctors for being incompetent. They are doctors, not gods.
"Doctor, is my daughter seriously ill?"
"How can it not be serious? The fever means that there is inflammation in the body. Her body is fighting the disease, which is why she has these symptoms. Moreover, she also has uterine cold. If it is not cured, she will not be able to have children in the future."
