Chapter 348

"Please, Doctor Xiao Tang, if he knew, he would beat me and the child to death."

Yes, this is the soft spot of wood and grass.

It doesn't matter if she gets beaten.

But her child couldn't be beaten anymore.

The child is still so young.

"Come over when you have time and I'll give you some medicine."

Tang Wan sighed, but didn't say anything in the end. Hu Wei came in just then and stared at Tang Wan and Mu Cao suspiciously.

"What are you talking about?"

"not……"

Mu Cao lowered her head and dared not look at him. She forced herself to hold back her tears, for fear that he would notice something strange.

Tang Wan, on the other hand, looked at Hu Wei calmly and said, "It's eight yuan in total.

I asked your wife, was it you who gave it or she who gave it?"

"So expensive?"

Hu Weishun's attention was diverted. He didn't expect that just an injection would be so expensive?

"Is eight dollars expensive for an injection, a consultation, and a prescription?"

Tang Wan's mouth twitched. Although she couldn't stand the other party, she didn't charge a high price.

Otherwise, these people would go to the town and talk nonsense, which would not be good for her.

"Isn't this expensive?"

Hu Wei kept mumbling, but he didn't dare to offend Tang Wan, "It's enough for our family."

“Medicine is expensive.”

Tang Wan fiddled with the abacus she had just taken out, "If you think it's too expensive.

Otherwise, keep this medicine. After all, the injection will provide relief, and maybe it will get better slowly.

How about I give you four dollars?"

She said this deliberately, and Hu Wei was delighted. "Can the injection cure it?"

"I'm not sure about that. The medicine is prescribed for consolidation. You think it's too expensive."

Tang Wan didn't even raise her head, with an expression of "whatever you want". Hu Wei was timid and afraid of pain, so he finally gritted his teeth, took out the money from his pocket and put it on the table.

"Doctor Xiao Tang, I hope my medicine can cure my illness!"

He said this almost with gritted teeth, meaning that if things went wrong he might come to settle the score with Tang Wan.

Tang Wan didn't care. She put the money into the cabinet and pretended to be seeing the guest off.

Hu Wei strode away angrily.

He didn't realize that he had recovered a lot since before he came in.

Mu Cao noticed this, but did not rush to help him.

Instead, she followed him closely and left.

She kept looking back at Tang Wan, and when she saw that Tang Wan had no intention of saying anything, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

She really didn't want to be beaten.

Every time someone spoke up for her, Hu Wei would smile and agree with them.

If they return home, they will be severely beaten, and even their children will suffer as well.

Mu Cao was so scared that he dared not let anyone else know.

After they all left, Tang Wan stared at their backs and sighed helplessly.

Fortunately, Shitou and Xiaodong brought some herbs, and Tang Wan accepted them and asked them.

"Do you know Hu Wei?"

"He's my distant cousin."

Shitou looked puzzled, "Aunt Tang, what's wrong?"

"How are they?"

Tang Wan asked casually. Shitou tilted his head and thought about it, then answered her seriously.

"My uncle is a nice guy, usually very friendly, but I don't know why my brothers and sisters are a little afraid of him.

I asked them, and they said nothing.”

"Aunt Tang, if you want to know something, I can help you find out."

Xiaodong is a very smart kid. Although he is still a child, he can understand the meaning of the music.

Tang Wan didn't want to drag them into this, so she smiled and shook her head and said, "Nothing.

He just came to see a doctor and complained that the medicine I prescribed was too expensive. I was worried that he would make trouble later, so I asked casually. "

This was her excuse. Unless he didn't take his medicine on time, his minor illness would heal quickly.

“So that’s how it is.”

Shitou didn't think much about it, and left with the egg given by Tang Wan, smiling.

Seeing that Xiaodong hadn't left, Tang Wan was puzzled, "Xiaodong, what are you doing?"

"Aunt Tang, my uncle is not as good as he seems."

Xiaodong must have known something, he whispered: "My grandmother saw scars on my aunt's body before.

Grandma taught Uncle Wei a lesson, and later I secretly saw Uncle Wei beating Aunt Wei. "

"Okay, I understand. Don't tell anyone about this, or you'll be bullied by Hu Wei."

Tang Wan gently rubbed Xiaodong's head, and Xiaodong took the eggs back home.

There were not many people around in the afternoon, so Tang Wan read some medical books and went to the workspace to get some bananas.

Mash bananas and feed them to the children.

Xiaoheng and Yaoer like it very much, and Tang Wan, the old mother, is also very pleased.

"Be good, mom will feed you delicious food at night."

Tang Wan fed the children and then took a banana and ate it slowly.

Before dark, she packed up, put the child Xiaoheng in a backpack, held Yaoer in her arms, locked the gate and went home.

As soon as she walked out the door, Tang Wan saw Mu Cao coming towards her from a distance, looking back every few steps.

As she walked over, she looked around, as if she was afraid of being seen.

"Little Doctor Tang."

Finally arriving in front of Tang Wan, Mu Cao hurriedly said, "I want to get some medicine."

"Come in."

Tang Wan opened the gate that had just been locked and entered the yard with Mu Cao.

"What medicine do you want to buy?"

She put Xiaoheng and Yaoer back on the bed, then looked at the nervous Mucao.

"Don't be afraid. I won't tell anyone about your situation. We protect the patient's privacy."

"I want some medicine to rub on."

Mu Cao pursed her lips, and after a while she gently rolled up her sleeves, revealing the crisscross scars on her arms and body.

Some of these scars are old, while others are new. The newest one was probably caused by being beaten just after returning home.

There are faint traces of blood on it.

Tang Wan disinfected her wound expertly, then frowned and said:

"If he keeps beating you, what's the point of taking medicine? You'll just get new bruises after you recover."

Mu Cao remained silent, so Tang Wan could only take out a tube of ointment and said, "Use this ointment to rub it, three times a day."

"Thank you, Doctor Xiao Tang."

Mu Cao took out a few crumpled bills from his pocket and asked Tang Wan, "How much?"

The money she saved was very little, just a few cents or a few dimes, and it was obvious that she had saved for a long time.

"Give me 80 cents."

Tang Wan sighed. She felt sorry for the other party, but her cowardly look made people feel so disappointed.

"Thank you, Doctor Xiao Tang."

Mu Cao was worried. How could a tube of ointment cost only 80 cents? It must be that Doctor Xiao Tang felt sorry for her.

Perhaps it was the kindness emanating from Tang Wan that made her unable to resist expressing her thoughts.

"I can't leave him. The children can't be without a father."

She was reluctant to use this medicine because her children were beaten for speaking up for her just now.

Mu Cao couldn't bear to see his child suffer, so he came to get medicine.

As for herself, she has a miserable life, but she will be fine after some time.

"He also beats children?"

Tang Wan instantly understood something from her eyes and said angrily:

"They are worse than animals! It's better to have no father than to have a father who beats them all the time, right?"

"Thank you, Doctor Xiao Tang, but I am different from you."

Mu Cao wiped away her tears. She was a poor woman and had no one to support her.

Even if she got divorced, she had nowhere to go, so she could only try her best to protect her children.
