Qiao Youfu's eyes widened as he listened to his niece's words. "This, this, this is not good, right?"
Qiao Jiangxin turned his head to look at his uncle. His uncle had almost no hair. There were many red pimples and scars on his head. Some of them were probably just scratched and still had blood scabs. Many places on the top of his head had suffered permanent hair loss and no hair grew anymore.
In my previous life, after my father passed away, my uncle had some money, and when he couldn’t bear the pain anymore, he gritted his teeth and went to the hospital.
In fact, it was folliculitis caused by an uncontrolled fungal infection. However, this disease made my uncle suffer all his life in his previous life. It made him despised by others, and made him feel inferior and afraid to raise his head.
Everyone in the village said he was contagious, so no one wanted to play with him. When guests came to his house, his uncle would hardly sit at the table. He would just take his bowl and eat at the side, for fear that others would dislike him.
Apart from the discrimination from the outside world, he also had to endure physical torture. When he felt itchy, he wanted to bang his head against the wall, and his scratches would bleed. The bumps were painful and itchy, tormenting him all the time.
Even with so many children coming over, no one at home ever suggested taking my uncle to the health center for a check-up.
Qiao Jiangxin sighed, "Uncle, don't shrink your neck. You are very good-looking and capable. Looking around, how many men around you can compare to you?
I heard from someone before that the scabies on your head are not contagious and are not a serious disease. In fact, as long as you have money, you can control it. ”
Qiao Youfu was stunned. "You, you said that I, can my leprosy be cured?"
Seeing the uncle's happy and shocked eyes, Qiao Jiang nodded sadly, "Yes, as long as we take anti-inflammatory medicine and apply ointment, we can control it. Although people say that it may recur after recovery, as long as we pay attention, you will be like a normal person."
Qiao Youfu's lips trembled. "Do you want a lot of money?"
Qiao Jiangxin looked at his uncle's anxious eyes and shook his head cruelly, "It won't cost much. If Grandpa cared about you, he would have taken you to see it a long time ago."
"Uncle, if you are not loved in this life and you only give one-sidedly, then everything you do is wrong. It is wrong to support your family, it is wrong to have children, it is wrong to be frugal and manage the household, and even it is wrong to strive to be loved."
Qiao Jiangxin blinked and drove away the mist in her eyes. "So, let's not be the big lovers. Don't think that if we are really good to others, they will be good to us. Be selfish and be good to yourself. Lie down when you are tired, eat whatever you want, and take a nap when you feel uncomfortable. Being too diligent and cowardly will only make you die faster."
"We care too much about our reputation, and we care about face. We think that filial piety will be praised, and diligence will be praised. But what good is praise? It's a big loss, what's the point of it."
Qiao Youfu looked at Jiang Xin, wondering why Jiang Xin said such words to him.
Soon, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes, and he stretched out his big calloused hand to stroke Qiao Jiangxin's dry yellow hair, "Jiangxin has so many problems, I feel wronged, it's my uncle who has no ability and can't help much."
Jiang Xin smiled at her uncle, "Uncle didn't. He's the best. Let's go. When the family is divided, everything will get better and better for us. Uncle can go to the doctor, and we can eat meat every meal. The crops we grow are all our own. When mom gives birth to a little brother and finds auntie, we will get better and better."
Qiao Youfu looked at his niece's bright eyes and couldn't help but smile. "Okay, we'll all be good. When the family is divided, Jiang Xin will go to school, and your uncle and your father will support you together."
Gaoshi Village and Gujiagou are only a few miles away.
