Gu Jinhua and Gu Weimin also hurriedly said, "Xiao Jiang, you can't carry the fourth child, he's so big." "Xiao Jiang, I'll carry him."
They knew Jiang Xiaoqiao had good intentions, but Jiang Xiaoqiao looked thin and small, and her image as lazy and spoiled in the team had been deeply rooted in people's minds.
Gu Jinhua and Gu Weimin really couldn't imagine the scene of Jiang Xiaoqiao hugging Gu Xiangbei.
She could carry Jiang Xiaoqiao, and she could do it more carefully so as not to touch the wound on Gu Xiangbei's leg.
Unfortunately, no one believed her, and coupled with the self-loathing look on Gu Xiangbei's face, Jiang Xiaoqiao didn't dare to use brute force to carry Gu Xiangbei downstairs.
Otherwise, she was afraid that Gu Xiangbei's mentality would be frustrated and he would be even less willing to actively seek treatment.
Fortunately, Gu Weimin is used to doing farm work.
Even though he was old, he was still able to carry Gu Xiangbei all the way to the jeep steadily.
In this way, Jiang Xiaoqiao and others rushed to the provincial hospital.
It was almost noon when we arrived at the provincial hospital.
The hospital arranged for Gu Xiangbei to be admitted, but as for the doctor, he would have to wait two hours before he would have time to check on Gu Xiangbei's condition.
Jiang Xiaoqiao said something to Gu Jinhua, then she sent Xiao Wang downstairs, took his contact information, and invited him to have dinner at a nearby state-owned restaurant.
Jiang Xiaoqiao paid for the meal for the driver Xiao Wang, thanked him, apologized, and hurried back to the hospital.
On the way back, Jiang Xiaoqiao entered a remote alley and asked 5200 to help keep watch.
Jiang Xiaoqiao bought several dishes and a nourishing medicinal meal in the system mall. When 5200 said that there was no one around, she confidently carried the lunch box back to the hospital.
By the time I returned to the ward, twenty minutes had actually passed. This time was mainly wasted trying to get close to the driver, Xiao Wang.
"Uncle, aunt, Xiangbei, I'm back." Jiang Xiaoqiao said, "You must be hungry. I bought some food."
Gu Jinhua hurried forward to help take it. She looked at Jiang Xiaoqiao with tears in her eyes and said, "Xiaoqiao, I'm really sorry to bother you. I'll pay you back for the meal, the car fare, and the hospital fees when I get back to the brigade."
Upon hearing the news that Gu Xiangbei was injured and hospitalized, Gu Jinhua and Gu Weimin didn't care much and rushed to the county hospital in a hurry without much money on them.
Jiang Xiaoqiao paid for everything along the way.
Jiang Xiaoqiao didn't say anything about not having to pay it back. If she had said that, Gu Jinhua and his wife would definitely not even eat a bite.
She said, "Auntie, don't be polite with me. Let's not talk about how we got along well in the past. Xiangbei and I were even a couple."
Gu Xiangbei's fingertips at his side moved. He looked at Jiang Xiaoqiao with a pale face, his heart full of guilt.
After hearing Jiang Xiaoqiao's words, Gu Jinhua and Gu Weimin were stunned for a moment, and there was no trace of the joy on their faces that they had shown when they first learned that they were in a relationship.
The food produced by the system mall is delicious, but at this moment, the mood of several people is not very good, and the food feels like chewing wax. They just eat a few bites perfunctorily and finish the meal.
The rest is saved and heated up for the next meal.
Dr. Li Chenghai from the provincial capital is the most famous orthopedic and rehabilitation doctor.
The time waiting for him to come for consultation was extremely agonizing.
Fortunately, no matter how painful it was, time still passed by bit by bit.
Jiang Xiaoqiao went to the hospital and found a wheelchair. Gu Xiangbei sat in the wheelchair and was pushed by Gu Weimin to receive an examination.
After completing several examinations, the four of them came to Dr. Li Chenghai's consultation room.
Li Chenghai continued to massage Gu Xiangbei's legs. "Doctor, how is it?" Gu Jinhua asked. "Can my fourth son's leg be cured?"
Gu Weimin didn't say anything, but looked at Li Chenghai nervously.
Jiang Xiaoqiao clenched her fists nervously. A glimmer of hope flashed in Gu Xiangbei's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.
Li Chenghai looked at the medical report on Gu Xiangbei and said, "Currently, there's over a 90% chance that he can't be cured."
"If you want to walk on two legs, our hospital currently has prosthetic limbs that can be installed. Once you become proficient in the use, you can walk like a normal person."
"F-Prosthetic limb?!"
The flickering light of hope in Gu Xiangbei's eyes completely dimmed.
Gu Jinhua looked at Li Chenghai and asked, "My fourth son's legs are fine. Why would he need prosthetic limbs? Where should he put them? Are they going to saw off his legs?"
"Comrade, this is the only way I can think of to get your son to walk on his own two legs."
"It's still possible if you don't amputate. You can use crutches or a wheelchair then..."
…
Coming out of the consultation room, Gu Jinhua and the other three all looked dejected.
Gu Jinhua kept muttering, "How could this happen? How could this happen?", while Gu Weimin cried silently, his eyes were red and swollen.
Jiang Xiaoqiao also had an expression of disbelief on her face. How could this happen? Gu Xiangbei was standing in front of her just a few days ago.
The two of them even walked hand in hand on the outskirts of Daqing Mountain, chatting and laughing together in the evening...
It was just a few days, just a few days, how could fate play such a big joke on them...
Among the four, Gu Xiangbei's reaction was relatively normal.
He pulled the corners of his lips and smiled: "Dad, Mom, Xiao Qiao, I'm fine, it's just a broken leg, right?"
"I'm still fine in front of you now. It's not that serious. Even though I lost a leg, I can still live. It's still the same as before..."
He himself said the last sentence very reluctantly and without confidence.
"Let's go back to the team. I don't want to stay in the hospital anymore." Gu Xiangbei said.
Jiang Xiaoqiao reached out and wiped her face, only to find it was covered in cold liquid.
Jiang Xiaoqiao said, "I'll go ask around. There are other ways. Uncle, aunt, you and Xiangbei go back to the ward first."
After saying this, Jiang Xiaoqiao turned and ran towards Dr. Li Chenghai's consultation room.
She carefully asked Li Chenghai about Gu Xiangbei's current condition, asked for a medical report, and inquired about the doctors who might be able to take over Gu Xiangbei's treatment.
"It's difficult, and I'm not exaggerating. Currently in China, if I don't have the ability to cure it, there's only one person who might be able to."
"Please, Dr. Li, tell us who that person is. I don't want to give up even if I have the slightest clue."
"Jing City, Dr. Nie Xing," Li Chenghai said. "He used to work at the Jing City People's First Hospital, but he's retired early now, so no one knows where he is."
Nie Xing...Old Nie!
"Thank you, Dr. Li, for telling me this information."
Jiang Xiaoqiao sincerely thanked Li Chenghai and then used the public phone in the corridor on the first floor of the hospital.
