Wei's mother disagreed with having Yuanyuan undergo surgery. In her view, Wei Mingyuan only had so little money, and with the current economic situation, he would rather spend it on building more houses in his hometown than on an adopted daughter.
She's just a brat, why spend so much money on her? We should save all the money in the house for her grandson.
Mother Wei came up with an idea and told Wei Mingyuan and Qiao Shanshan about it. Qiao Shanshan's heart raced. She had also thought about making Yuanyuan disappear into thin air, but she didn't dare to do it. She was afraid of betraying her conscience. Unexpectedly, Mother Wei brought it up.
"Mom, isn't this a bit much?" Qiao Shanshan said, feigning concern. "If people find out, our reputation will be ruined."
"Who could know? We could just say I took her out to play and lost her, or go hiking and let her fall off a cliff, or take her to the beach—there's always a way to fix her. This child isn't healthy, no wonder she was abandoned. You must have been tricked when you adopted her. Besides, you didn't know you'd have a biological child. Now that Xiao Bao is born, we can't accept Yuan Yuan. So what if we abandon her? Abandoning her is perfectly reasonable!"
Mother Wei did not think she had done anything wrong.
Qiao Shanshan had no choice but to agree.
"Okay, Mom, but you absolutely mustn't let anyone see through your act. If they ask you, you have to insist that it was your own carelessness. You originally wanted to take Yuanyuan outside to see a fortune teller and have her fortune told, but you didn't expect her to get lost. In short, you absolutely mustn't let others talk behind our backs."
Mother Wei understood this basic principle.
Wei Mingyuan was afraid that people would suspect that the Wei family had lost Yuanyuan right after the hospital found out that she had a problem with her legs. Everyone would know that they did it on purpose.
People will definitely gossip behind my back.
But keeping Yuanyuan would be a burden. Yuanyuan's surgery would cost a lot of money, and her disability would be a burden on them. Yuanyuan is a burden on the family.
Wei Mingyuan felt irritated.
"Let's wait a bit before making a move, so people don't make wild guesses. Let's treat the child better these days, so outsiders won't suspect us."
The next day, Qiao Shanshan bought Yuanyuan a pretty dress and black leather shoes. Yuanyuan was very happy; her mother was finally smiling at her again.
"Yuanyuan, is your mother good to you?" the neighbor asked.
Yuanyuan nodded firmly, "Okay, Mom is very good to me!"
The bad mom was taken away by the monster, and now only the good mom is left. The good mom is very gentle and treats her very well. Yuanyuan loves her mom.
Qiao Shanshan felt a moment of guilt upon hearing Yuanyuan's words, but when she thought about how Yuanyuan's existence was a burden to the whole family, she couldn't help but make up her mind.
At this time, Wei Mingyuan was unaware that a doctor from a hospital had sent an email to Luxembourg.
In 1994, the Internet quietly emerged in China. In order to facilitate communication with foreign countries, this doctor received computer training with the help of the hospital. He learned to type using the Wubi input method on a computer, as well as to use the Internet and send emails.
At that time, the internet was not as fast as it is today, and internet access was expensive. However, the internet allowed doctors to communicate with doctors abroad. Sometimes, when there were difficult cases in domestic journals, doctors would email their colleagues in the field to see if there were any good solutions.
Just then, the hospital's machines malfunctioned again.
The doctor operating the equipment, looking at the impatient patients waiting outside, couldn't help but get angry and said:
"What kind of broken machine is this? For such a big company, the quality control of its machines is so poor. This is not like the style of Luxembourg at all!"
"Exactly! I've never seen an instrument that malfunctions so easily!"
Several doctors called Wei Mingyuan, but he was repairing machines at another hospital and wouldn't be able to get over until the afternoon.
The doctors then gathered together to come up with ideas.
"How about we fix it ourselves?" The doctors took their tools and disassembled the machine's casing, only to find that the inside of the machine was a complete mess.
In a proper machine, the work should be very neat and orderly, not like this, with loose threads everywhere and tangled together.
Several doctors were very angry, feeling that Luxembourg was fooling the hospitals in mainland China. What kind of place is a hospital? If the equipment is faulty, it affects the lives of many patients. If a misdiagnosis occurs because of equipment problems, is it the fault of the equipment or the hospital?
Who will pay the price for the patient's life?
The doctors were furious and wanted to send an email to Luxembourg. Just then, Dr. Jiang, who was knowledgeable about the internet, came to the department looking for someone. The doctors stopped him and asked him to help them send an email to Luxembourg via the internet to inquire about the reason why the new machine was malfunctioning frequently.
Dr. Jiang certainly wouldn't refuse; he had just learned to type using the Wubi input method and needed an opportunity to practice.
Since everyone asked him for help, he had a reason to use the hospital's computers.
Dr. Jiang agreed and sent an email to Luxembourg. Doctors need to know English, especially doctors in Beijing. Dr. Jiang's English level is good, and even if it isn't, he can still translate the entire article by searching on the Internet.
Dr. Jiang quickly sent out the email.
They thought Luxembourg wouldn't reply quickly, but to their surprise, Dr. Jiang received an email from Luxembourg in less than half an hour.
They said their machines rarely break down; at least in other parts of the world, Luxembourg's machines only have a certain failure rate after five years of use. However, recently two hospitals in mainland China called them to report this situation.
It should be noted that Qiao Shanshan sold Lusen's instruments in mainland China, but she had been using assembled parts instead. She hadn't purchased from Lusen for a long time. Now that so many hospitals in mainland China have reported the problem, Lusen naturally took the matter seriously and immediately sent an investigation team to China.
