Su Luo turned around and said quickly, "We are Liu Fang's distant relatives, and we are here to look for her."
Liu Fang was the name of the hostess of this house, Hu Fang told her.
When the old lady heard them calling for someone by name, she did not doubt it: "Liu Fang went to the county! Her daughter was splashed with hot oil on her face a few days ago. She got a boil and had a fever. It was scary. She was sent to the county town at dawn."
Su Luo's heart tightened. Why didn't the novel ever mention that Gu San's face was disfigured?
She quickly asked Zhou Mubai to take her back to the county town.
The two of them rushed back and forth, and when they returned to the county town, it was already past three in the afternoon.
Su Luo quickly said to Zhou Mubai: "I'm sorry to bother you today. Why don't you go eat first? You don't have to run with me. I can go to the hospital by myself."
Not knowing the child's situation yet, she didn't want to bring a man to her house, for fear that the child would have a bad impression of her.
Zhou Mubai shook his head: "I'm not hungry, I'd better go with you!"
"No, thank you today. I'll treat you to dinner another day." Su Luo insisted.
Seeing her unwillingness to argue, Zhou Mubai probably guessed her concerns and did not insist, "Then go ahead."
Su Luo nodded and went into the hospital.
But Zhou Mubai did not leave. Instead, he drove to the hospital entrance and waited for her.
Su Luo entered the hospital and ran to the front desk immediately: "Comrade nurse, is there a 7-year-old girl with oil burns on her face sent here today? I am her aunt!"
"Are you here to give us some money? Go quickly. It's in Ward 306 of the Dermatology Department on the third floor. If you don't have the surgery now, it will be delayed." The nurse was obviously very impressed with Gu San.
When Su Luo heard the words "send money", her heart tightened.
The family in that mountain village must have no money, so they were reluctant to treat the child even after sending him to the village.
Su Luo's face flashed with coldness, and she quickly ran to the third floor and found room 306.
At the door of Ward 306, a couple was arguing.
The woman was very excited: "It must be treated! It must be treated! Why can't it be treated!"
"You're going to pay for such expensive medical expenses? Doesn't your son's education cost money? Listen to me, take him home! Whether he can survive depends on her fate!" the man said angrily.
There was a boy around ten years old next to him, staring at his father angrily: "Please treat her! If she is left with scars and disfigured, I will not marry her in the future! Whoever wants a child bride like this can have one, but I don't want such an ugly one! Dad, please treat her. It's such a pity to have such a beautiful face disfigured!"
"You know shit!" The man pushed him away. "It's not worth spending so much money on a little girl. She was bought in the first place. You'll know when you grow up. It's the same once the lights are turned off! I can't treat her! This is a black-hearted hospital. They deliberately said it was so serious to make you anxious so that they can cheat you out of your money. I won't treat her. Take the child back now and don't stay in the hospital anymore! The hospital fees are so expensive!"
A few nurses nearby were eating melon seeds and looking at each other.
"That little girl is so unlucky. She was burned all over and became confused. She still won't get treatment. She should just go back and wait for death."
"It's unfortunate to meet this family. She's so young and becomes a child bride. There's still such a bad custom these days. You can tell they're from the countryside."
"If we delay any longer, let alone curing the burns, it will be a question of whether we can survive!"
Liu Fang loved her son the most. She had bought a beautiful little girl to be her son's child bride. Who wouldn't be envious of the neighbors? Her son went out all day in high spirits.
Now the girl's face is burned. When she marries her son in the future, he won't be able to hold his head up when he goes out. Of course he needs treatment. It's all because the man in her family is incompetent.
The son was crying so hard that Liu Fang glared at the man angrily, "Why can't he be cured? If you don't have money, can't you borrow some? Didn't you win a few hundred dollars when you went to town to gamble a few days ago? Where's the money? You didn't bring back a penny. What did you use it to support that little bitch? I don't care! He must be cured!"
"Why would I raise a little bitch? Stop talking shit here!" the man retorted angrily, his voice at the top of his lungs.
The nurse who was eating melons next to her frowned and said, "Be quiet, don't disturb the rest of the patients in other wards!"
The man glared at the two nurses fiercely, spat, and lowered his voice: "Treat your mother, I won't treat you anymore! Go home!"
He pushed the door open, picked up the person on the bed and left.
With a loud bang, the man was grabbed by the collar and thrown aside.
Liu Fang and her son were both shocked.
The man was knocked unconscious, and when he got up, he saw that it was a woman, and he got even angrier, and he came up to slap her: "Are you fucking sick?"
Su Luo had a cold face and kicked him out without any courtesy. She called the nurse and said, "Please arrange surgery for her as soon as possible. I will pay the fee right now."
"Who the hell are you? Where did this crazy woman come from?" The man felt extremely ashamed. He gasped with his eyes wide open, and the veins on his neck were throbbing. He stared at Su Luo fiercely: "Are you looking for death?"
Su Luo ignored him and repeated to the nurse in a deep voice: "I am the child's biological mother. Please arrange surgery for her immediately. I will pay the fee."
When they heard that it was the child's biological mother, Liu Fang and the man were stunned, and a look of vigilance appeared on their faces.
The man stood in front of the bed and said, "Wait a minute! The child is ours. Who are you? If you say she is the biological mother, then she is the biological mother. Even if she is the biological mother, we paid for the child. Now it has nothing to do with you."
"My child is almost dying in your house. Is this how you treat my daughter?" Su Luo sneered as she glanced at the family of three, wishing she could beat them up on the spot.
Liu Fang suddenly grabbed the man and said, "Boss, come here..."
"What are you doing?" The man shook her hand away impatiently.
Anger flashed across Liu Fang's face, and she forcibly pulled him out again.
The man angrily pushed her against the hospital wall and said, "Are you fucking crazy? Are you crazy? Is your brain damaged too?"
Liu Fang clicked her tongue and said, suppressing her anger: "You can't listen to others anymore, can you? You don't have money to treat her illness. Didn't you hear what that woman said? She'll pay the bill! What are you doing here when someone is paying?"
The man didn't understand: "She can take the girl away if she pays? We bought this girl with our own money!"
Liu Fang cursed him for being a pig-brained person, but she patiently explained, "We bought the child with our own money, so of course she's ours! Can she just take her away if she wants? We can just take good care of the child, and when she pays the medical bills and cures the child, we can take the child home, right? You and I, how can we not snatch a little girl from her?"
Su Luo had fair and delicate skin and looked to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, so Liu Fang did not take her seriously.
The man quickly calmed down after hearing this: "That's right."
