Jiang Weidong was very curious. This woman was full of surprises. It had been less than a day since they last met, and he was beginning to want to meet her. He really wanted to discuss Chinese medicine with her.
When Li Baogen heard the doctor call Liang Qi, he didn't answer. He looked at him warily and asked, "Liang Qi? How do you know him?"
"We're very close. She treated a relative of mine, and that's how we met." Jiang Weidong answered and then continued, "By the way, how did she stop the bleeding for the pregnant woman? What medicine did she use?"
I'm really curious.
"I know this. Aunt Liang used a mending needle to prick my mother's body. She was like a hedgehog, but the bleeding stopped in no time. Aunt Liang is really amazing."
It was Li Xinyue, her eyes sparkling and her face full of admiration as she spoke.
Oh my goodness, this is okay? Why do I need a special needle when I come to Grandpa Nie?
Liang Qi had to use it as a last resort. The special needle wouldn't hurt much, just a slight stinging sensation, but the sewing needle would really hurt when it pierced the flesh.
"Uncle, what's wrong with your face? Are you cramping?" Li Xinyue looked at the doctor's wrinkled face and couldn't help but ask.
"Ahem, no, uncle just has a little pain on his face, it will be fine soon." Jiang Weidong said a little embarrassedly, his smile a little weak.
This woman can create success everywhere. What's her idea? She can use any needle? What a weird brain.
"Oh, rub your face more if it hurts." Li Xinyue said innocently.
Thank you!
Jiang Weidong felt a surge of fear in his heart, like a little man scratching the wall.
"Qi Qi, this kid is the doctor in our village. You don't usually see him treating patients," Li Baogen said, stroking his beard.
"Really?" Jiang Weidong asked casually.
The grandfather and grandson nodded heavily in affirmation.
"Huh? It's strange. There was so much blood flowing, but there was still a fetus. It looked dangerous. I checked and it was safe. Which doctor did this?" Gao Lili asked in surprise.
This is amazing. He was able to keep the baby after such a long time. He must be an old man.
"Doctor Gao, I just heard them talking about Liang Qi," said a nurse.
"Really? I really want to experience Chinese medicine." Gao Lili said softly.
He then continued, "I'll prescribe some medicine, give it to you through an IV drip for a few days, and then I'll get some medicine to preserve the pregnancy. There won't be any big problem." As he spoke, he prescribed a few bottles of oral medication and IV drip.
"Okay, which family member is this? Come over here. After the doctor writes the prescription, go to the payment office in front of the hall and pay the bill."
"Okay, doctor, how is my wife?" Li Youshui was worried.
"It's okay. She just needs to be hospitalized and get a few bottles of IV drips and some medicine. Your wife is lucky. Someone saved the baby. If no one sealed the bleeding, it would be dangerous." Gao Lili wrote on the list and repeated it to the family without raising her head, without any impatience.
After finishing writing, he tore it off the notebook and handed over a list.
"Okay, thank you." Li Youshui took the order and said, his heart finally at ease.
I had been worried all the way, but now that I relaxed, I collapsed like a limp shrimp.
"Are you okay?" the nurse asked Li Youshui who was lying on the ground.
"It's okay, I'll be fine in a moment," Li Youshui touched his face and cheered himself up.
After sitting for a few seconds, he stood up against the wall and prepared to pay the bill.
"There's water. How's the osmanthus?"
The branch secretary came over with the children and the eldest brother. When they saw Li Youshui, they hurried over and asked.
"The doctor said it's fine, I just need to be on IV drip for a few days and take some medicine and I'll be fine."
"Thank God! I can finally rest assured," Li Baogen said with his hands clasped together.
"Dad, I need to pay for hospitalization and medicine, and it may not be enough. Can you lend me a few dollars?" Li Youshui touched the few dollars in his pocket, which may not be enough.
"Here, this is twenty-one and sixty-five cents. Take it and pay it first. If it's not enough, tell dad and he'll find a way. Here are three food coupons for you to eat." Li Baogen took out the money and food coupons wrapped in several layers of handkerchiefs from his jacket pocket and handed them over.
"Dad, ten yuan is enough. It doesn't cost that much. The doctor has just prescribed the medicine. I'll pay it today and take the food coupons first." Li Youliang knew that his wife was fine, so he spoke more easily.
"Take this fifteen yuan. You need money to eat, and you can also buy some snacks," Li Baogen gave fifteen yuan to his youngest son.
The eldest son's examination also requires money. There are still two food coupons at home, but they can't use them when they go home for dinner, so they gave all the money they have to the youngest son.
"I understand, Dad." Li Youshui took the money and ran to pay the bill. He came back in less than a few minutes.
"Nurse, the fee has been paid. Here's the receipt." Li Youshui said as he handed the nurse a payment receipt.
The nurse took a look at it and said, "Okay, family members, come over and push the patient over for an IV."
"Okay, okay," the whole family followed and found themselves in an eight-person ward.
"Stop here and move the patient to the dressing table." The nurse directed the people from the Li family.
Li Youshui simply carried the baby onto the bed, while the others held onto the movable bed. Besides, it wasn't appropriate since they were all men.
In this era, women are still treated very strictly, also to prevent others from spreading gossip.
"There's water. You stay at the hospital and let me know if you need anything. We'll be back soon." Li Baogen looked at his son, and the old man's body suddenly became more hunched.
"Dad, it's okay," Li Youshui knew that no one could have expected this.
"Youshui, I'm sorry, it's all my brother's fault. I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter." Li Youliang said with pursed lips.
Li Youshui looked at his elder brother. This man had been exploited for more than ten years and was also a pitiful man.
"Brother, happiness is something you have to fight for yourself. If you can't make ends meet, just deal with it quickly." Li Youshui didn't know how to face his brother for the time being.
"Yeah," Li Youliang also knew that he had not handled the matter properly.
"Okay, go take care of your wife quickly, we'll go over and take a look." Li Baogen was also thinking about how to deal with this matter.
The grandfather and the other man left the ward and said, "We have food. Let's check you out. If there's nothing wrong, we'll go to the police station and report the case."
"Dad? Report it to the police? Will this..." Li Youliang felt a little uncomfortable.
After living together for more than ten years, it was impossible for them to have no feelings for each other, but the cruelty of this woman made him swallow the last bit of kindness down his throat.
"What? Do you want to back down? Or do you not want to get divorced?" Li Baogen looked at his son. When did the confident young man become so timid?
"No, I want a divorce!" Li Youliang said angrily in his heart.
"Okay, then just listen to Dad," Li Baogen took his eldest son to the men's department.
