Qiao Xiaoni looked at the aggressive woman and said, "There were quite a few people eating fried dough sticks at our house this morning, at least 80 or 100 people. How come only your son had a problem?"
Look how much pain your son is in. Why aren't you taking him to the hospital for a checkup? What are you wasting time here for?
What if the child's stomachache isn't caused by diarrhea, but by some other illness, and treatment is delayed? Then where will you go to cry?!
Zhao Yue pointed at Qiao Xiaoni, adding to her old and new grudges: "My son woke up this morning clamoring for fried dough sticks, so I asked the neighbor to buy five from you. He hasn't eaten anything else, so I'm sure there's something wrong with your fried dough sticks."
"Mommy, it hurts!" Wang Dong cried out, his little face contorted in pain. "I need to go to the toilet..."
Zhao Yue couldn't possibly take the child to the toilet at this moment, so she whispered to him:
"Bear with it for now, I'll take you to the toilet in a bit."
Wang Dong, unable to bear the pain, squatted down on the ground. Zhao Yue glanced at him briefly before looking away and continued to tell the people around her that the shop was unclean.
Seeing that the child's expression was off, Qiao Xiaoni didn't argue with her, but instead helped the child up.
Tell your sister where it hurts.
Wang Dong pointed to the area above his stomach: "It hurts, it hurts so much!"
Qiao Xiaoni noticed that the area being pointed to was the appendix, and she had a pretty good idea of what was going on. It was probably acute appendicitis caused by eating too much oily food. This kind of illness is difficult to treat in such a young child. She looked up and saw Zhao Yue talking to a passerby.
"Her shop is so popular, she must put something in the noodles, otherwise why would everyone love to eat there?"
"You're wrong to say that. I've tried their fried dough sticks, and they taste great. My elderly relatives and children also love them. If they weren't so expensive, I would buy them for them often," the passerby said.
The fried dough sticks are fried to a golden brown, and most importantly, you can see the oil in them. If there were anything unclean in them, how could they possibly fill up all the food?
Zhao Yue, exasperated at not getting the answer she wanted, said:
"You must have received some benefits from them to speak up for them."
The passerby got angry: "How can you be so ungrateful? I was just expressing my opinion, why are you making false accusations against me?"
I think you're just a thief crying thief. Your son's stomachache is probably because you fed him something unclean, and now you're trying to extort money from me."
These words made everyone around gasp. These days there are few scammers, so no one had thought of the worst. But after this person's reminder, everyone had to think about other possibilities.
Is this woman trying to extort money from her son? That's incredibly malicious! Look at the child's pale face from pain—this is no way a mother would do such a thing! Shouldn't a normal person take the child to the hospital first? Arguing here is a waste of time; if something happens to the child, she'll have no one to blame but herself.
Qiao Xiaoni picked up the child when she saw he was in a lot of pain:
“Your son’s stomach is not just a simple case of diarrhea. I advise you to take him to the hospital immediately to stop the pain. If he continues to be in pain like this, he will definitely not be able to bear it.”
"I need your kindness." After saying that, Zhao Yue started to grab the child: "This is my son, give him back to me right now. He got sick because he ate your fried dough sticks. This is not over."
Qiao Xiaoni didn't argue with her much and returned the child to her. Seeing that the child's face was even paler than before, her heart tightened.
"I bought all my oil from the supply and marketing cooperative. If there's a problem, you should go to them. Why are you coming to me?"
