Qiao Lingling was scared; she didn't know if the doctor in front of her could tell that she was pretending to be stupid.
Zhao Hongxia carefully took off her medicine box, took out her stethoscope, and said to the middle-aged woman standing to the side, "Bring her over here, I want to listen to her heartbeat."
Wang Qin hurriedly did as she was told, climbing onto the kang (a heated brick bed) to pull Qiao Lingling down. She tried several times but couldn't pull her down. Instead, she almost got pushed over by her daughter and collapsed onto the kang.
“Daughter, listen to the doctor. We need to get proper treatment for our illness. I’m doing this for your own good.”
Qiao Lingling was terrified! She dared not let the doctor examine her. She had no idea they had found a doctor so quickly. If she had known, she wouldn't have pretended to be crazy.
Su Chenhao observed Qiao Lingling from the side. Her evasive eyes said it all; she was just pretending. After a quick mental calculation, he immediately came up with an idea. While the mother and daughter were entangled in their argument, he whispered a few words to Zhao Hongxia.
Zhao Hongxia was taken aback at first, but seeing the confirmation in his eyes, she nodded in agreement. She hadn't expected today's consultation to be so interesting.
Qiao Haixing had been observing his daughter and daughter-in-law's struggle and hadn't noticed what was happening here. Seeing that his daughter-in-law was no match for his daughter, he stepped onto the kang (a heated brick bed) to help, forcefully pulling his daughter over and saying to the doctor,
"Can you help me figure out what's wrong with my daughter? How come she's changed like this after just one day?"
Seeing the little girl hiding in her mother's arms, not daring to turn her head, Zhao Hongxia immediately concluded that she was faking it.
"He's so wicked at such a young age, what will he be like when he grows up!" Su Chenhao didn't explain why she was meddling in this matter, but considering his character, she decided to help.
“I think this little girl is quite ill. Why don’t we take her to a big hospital? There are professional doctors there who can treat her with acupuncture.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Qin's heart sank. "Doctor, is my daughter beyond saving? Besides, how can a big hospital treat this disease?"
Zhao Hongxia put the stethoscope she was holding back into the box. "Her symptoms are relatively mild. She hasn't hurt anyone or harmed herself. The initial treatment should have been to give her medication."
If things don't improve after a long time, they'll resort to special measures, but I don't know exactly what they'll do.
Those places are strictly managed. You can't stay with them after they're sent there; you can only see them again once their condition improves.
"This won't do! Then I won't be able to see my daughter again!" Wang Qin hugged her daughter tightly. Despite her preference for boys, the thought of her daughter going back to that place was like a knife cutting into her heart.
Qiao Lingling was trembling with fear. She didn't want to go to any big hospital; she just wanted to scare everyone and make Qiao Xiaoshan get punished.
If she went to a big hospital, she would be seriously injured, if not killed!
Su Chenhao said, "Auntie, I happen to know a doctor at a big hospital. Treating this kind of disease doesn't cost too much money. If you're in a hurry, let's get in the car now. We can get to town around noon, and then take the train to the hospital in about a day."
What do you think?
Qiao Haixing slumped onto the kang (a heated brick bed), "Then let's do as you say! Early treatment might offer a better chance of success."
It's pointless to assign blame now; he just wants to get his daughter cured as soon as possible. If word gets back to town, what kind of family will his daughter be able to find in the future?
