Ye Beiping, who hadn't slept all night, made an excuse to have Aunt Li keep Su Xinyi company.
The two thought Ye Beiping needed to sleep, but in reality, he had gone to Tao Qiuyan's ward and was probably already awake by then.
Tao Qiuyan was very excited when she saw Ye Beiping. She had heard Ye Xiaoxin say that her son was fine and had been released by the police. She didn't believe it at first, but now that she saw him in person, she believed it.
Unexpectedly, Ye Beiping arrived and, without saying a word, brought in several doctors and nurses, saying he wanted to conduct a full-body examination.
"It's nothing." Tao Qiuyan felt it was a waste of money and looked distressed: "You child, don't you know your own body? Why waste money on a checkup?"
Ye Xiaoxin originally thought her mother was fine.
But after Ye Beiping explained, she also thought that Tao Qiuyan needed to have a physical examination.
Rural people don't know anything about physical examinations; if they can eat and drink normally, they assume they are healthy.
"Sister, let me tell you, some diseases are insidious and can't be seen normally. By the time they are discovered, it's too late. Mom has been doing heavy work every day for years. She seems fine on the surface, but overwork can easily lead to illness. Otherwise, why would she have fainted last night?"
After hearing this explanation, Ye Xiaoxin also went up to persuade Tao Qiuyan.
"Mom, you heard that? It's good to get it checked out, so let's get it checked out."
"Nonsense." Tao Qiuyan insisted that she was fine, her brows furrowed. "Don't listen to your brother's nonsense. I can still plow several acres of land now. What could possibly be wrong with me?"
Seeing that the patient was not cooperating, the doctor looked to Ye Beiping for help.
Seeing Tao Qiuyan's reaction, Ye Beiping's expression darkened slightly, but he still patiently said, "Mom, I earn money so that you can enjoy life. Don't think about saving money. What's the point of earning so much money if I'm always thinking about saving money?"
"Yes, Mom, I'm on Beiping's side this time." Ye Xiaoxin nodded in agreement.
Tao Qiuyan frowned even more deeply when she saw her children like this.
He remained sitting motionless on the hospital bed, having originally planned to be discharged sooner, as staying here required spending money every day.
In the past, when they had a cold or something, they would never think of going to the hospital; they would just use the old methods to get some medicine at home.
If you have a cough, pick some loquat leaves; if you have a fever, stay in bed and sweat it out; if you have a cold, drink plenty of water.
Seeing this, Ye Beiping could only threaten, "Mom, if you don't get checked, I won't let you take care of Xinyi anymore, and you won't get to see your grandson. Who knows if you have any infectious diseases?"
The words were very harsh.
The doctor next to him frowned slightly, feeling that Ye Beiping, as the son, had gone a bit too far with what he said.
Even Ye Xiaoxin frowned and looked at Ye Beiping.
But Tao Qiuyan was unhappy and immediately argued, "Do I need your permission to raise my own grandson? Am I your mother or you my mother?"
"Then you should go get checked, for the good of our family." Ye Beiping saw that Tao Qiuyan had taken the bait and immediately made his offer.
"This..." Tao Qiuyan was instantly at a loss.
On one hand, there's the daughter-in-law and grandson; on the other, there's the wasted money. It's a difficult choice.
Everyone then realized that Ye Beiping was using a provocation tactic.
Tao Qiuyan thought about it for a long time, and finally agreed under the coercion and enticement of Ye Beiping and Ye Xiaoxin. The physical examination was like going to the execution ground, which made the doctors and nurses both laugh and cry.
But looking back, it's not just people in rural areas; even some city dwellers today are very resistant to hospitals. Even employees of state-owned factories, despite receiving subsidies, feel that going to the hospital is never a good thing, believing themselves to be strong and healthy, and that examinations are a waste of money and unnecessary.
The inspection went on non-stop from noon to evening, using almost all the available instruments.
This inspection was like a revelation to Tao Qiuyan.
Looking at those machines, I had only heard them talk about what they could do in Pingba Village before, but I never imagined that machines could also perform examinations on people.
I was a little scared when I first encountered it, like going to the guillotine.
Ye Beiping naturally understood Tao Qiuyan's thoughts and stayed by her side the whole time, constantly explaining and comforting her.
In fact, it wasn't just Tao Qiuyan who felt novelty and fear; Ye Xiaoxin felt the same way.
She felt like those machines were going to eat her, so she didn't dare go near them.
The most common thing they heard about these machines was that people who went in would definitely not come out alive. They had always heard rumors about city dwellers getting injured at work, losing limbs, and being cared for for life by state-owned factories. So they developed the feeling that these lumps of iron could eat people.
After the examination, some results would not be available until the next day or the third day. In the evening, he slipped some money to the doctor and asked him to recommend a famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor.
Doctors in this era can still charge money.
Ye Beiping only had a superficial understanding of medical matters and didn't know any famous traditional Chinese medicine doctors, so he could only ask the doctors in the hospital for help.
The doctor was overjoyed to receive the money and immediately said he would bring a traditional Chinese medicine doctor to examine Su Xinyi and Tao Qiuyan the next day.
Back in the ward, Tao Qiuyan was panting heavily and exclaimed, "Is that enough? Can I go home now?"
I feel uncomfortable all over here, especially since it's a private room.
When Tao Qiuyan asked the doctor how much a private room cost during her check-up, she was so scared when she learned it was several yuan a day that she almost had a heart attack.
They said they wanted to leave and go home halfway through.
It was only after Ye Beiping and Ye Xiaoxin strongly intervened that Tao Qiuyan was allowed to complete the examination.
Now that I'm back in the ward, the first thing I want to do is go home.
