Chapter 45 The Key to the Problem
From then on, she also started to work in her spare time to supplement the family income.
Whenever Mrs. Fan came to them to have clothes made, she was always picky and always looking for opportunities to save some money.
Seeing the old lady's threatening look, Zheng Li bit her lip and mustered up the courage to say to Officer Zhang, "Officer Zhang, when we went out, we noticed that there was black smoke coming out of Grandma Fan's house, and there was a particularly pungent smell in the air. If you stay in there for too long, you will easily get poisoned. Just now, my sister was holding Fan Hanhan. I heard that she has had a fever for several days. She has been given several intravenous drips at the community clinic but to no avail. I heard that Grandma Fan even found a witch to treat Fan Hanhan, but it was of no use. This young lady suggested that Fan Hanhan might have leukemia and urgently needs to be checked at a large hospital, so we rushed here."
After hearing this, Mrs. Fan immediately became angry, "Zheng Li! Stop talking nonsense here! This is our Fan family's business, there is no need for outsiders to interfere! Officer Zhang, please don't get involved in this matter!"
As he was about to snatch Fan Hanhan back, he was stopped by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Officer Zhang.
Officer Zhang had a very serious expression on his face: "Mrs. Fan, Zheng Li is a college student, an educated person, and there is nothing wrong with what she said. Are the coal briquettes you use damp and low-quality? You are so old and still have two children at home. What if something happens? How will your son and daughter-in-law live in the future? And what era is it now? The country has always emphasized not to engage in feudal superstition! Would you rather spend money to find a witch than to see a doctor? Minor ailments can be solved at the community clinic, and serious problems must be treated in a regular hospital - don't you understand these basic common sense?"
He glanced at Fan Hanhan's face and added, "Your granddaughter looks very bad. Let's not talk about money. Let's find out her condition first. If something happens to her, how will you explain to the child's parents?"
Then he turned to the nurse and said, "Take the little girl to get a physical examination immediately. We will pay for all the expenses."
After receiving the inspection form, I was confused by the densely packed professional terms on it.
Noticing that Qiao Jin seemed to be very knowledgeable in this area, he handed the list to her, "Comrade, could you please help confirm these items?"
Qiao Jin simply replied "OK", took the form and went straight to the testing room, followed by Fan Yao who looked anxious.
Seeing this, the old lady became so angry that her face turned purple and she almost fainted. Then she took a step forward and prepared to follow in.
"This is a hospital. Don't worry. My granddaughter is just going for a routine checkup. Please also ask the hospital to help you check if you have carbon monoxide poisoning."
Officer Zhang hurriedly stopped the old lady who was about to rush out.
When the old lady, who had never been to a big hospital in her life, heard that a comprehensive examination would cost a lot of money, she felt very distressed and refused to accept any additional diagnosis.
"I don't have any problem at all. I don't need to spend that money!"
As she spoke, she twisted away from the policeman's hand.
Although the old lady's mental state is still good and does not seem to be seriously affected, we still decided to keep a close eye on her condition for the sake of caution.
Meanwhile, Qiao Jin, who was busy accompanying patients between departments, had no idea that she had attracted the attention of another important person...
When the last test was about to be completed, Fan Hanhan lay down on the treatment table to rest, and Qiao Jin was able to sit in the corridor and catch her breath.
The child next to him approached cautiously and whispered, "Sister Qiao, thank you for your help."
Just as she was about to respond, she suddenly noticed a man standing not far away, his gaze seemed to penetrate everything...
Qiao Jin glanced at him, then slowly stood up, with a bit of embarrassment in his eyes: "Why are you here?"
Could it be that he called the police... and let the Fu family know?
This is really a bit embarrassing.
Fu Yanlin didn't expect that Qiao Jin would be so worried and run around for a little girl he didn't know.
Not many people can do this.
Most people usually only care about themselves, who wants to care about other people's affairs?
What's more, it consumes energy.
When Fan Yao saw Fu Yanlin, he hid behind Qiao Jin in fear.
Qiao Jin raised her hand and gently patted Fan Yao's shoulder: "Don't be afraid, he is a good man."
Fu Yanlin looked at Qiao Jin and asked, "What disease might the child you just saved have?"
After hearing this, although Qiao Jin was a little confused, she still explained seriously: "It can basically be diagnosed as leukemia, but it is not clear how serious the disease is. If it is serious, a bone marrow transplant is needed."
Hearing this, Fu Yanlin's eyes dimmed slightly.
When this disease strikes an ordinary family, it is like a bolt from the blue.
In other words, most families may not be able to afford to treat this disease.
"Let's talk alone for a while."
As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Qiao Jin to say anything to Fan Yao, Fan Yao cleverly ran away.
He knew Captain Fu, and he also knew that Captain Fu was a righteous man. He had a sense of awe towards him from the bottom of his heart, so he didn't dare to get close to him.
After Fan Yao walked away, Qiao Jin lowered her eyes to hide her emotions.
After a while, she looked at Fu Yanlin: "Are you going to accuse me of meddling in other people's business?"
Fu Yanlin narrowed his eyes immediately and asked in a low voice: "Why?"
Thinking of what Old Lady Fan had said, Qiao Jin said with a mocking tone, "You said I was meddling in other people's business."
Fu Yanlin paused for a moment and said, "If you are doing what you can, then it is not meddling in other people's business. It's not that you don't want to save the child, but you have to consider whether you can afford it. This is the situation of the Fan family. What if their family members do not agree to treatment? What should you do then?"
This sentence hits the nail on the head and points out the key.
Qiao Jin was silent for a moment, with complex emotions in his eyes.
"I just know that if I don't save her now, she might not be able to survive. The child had a high fever and refused to eat or drink. In the end, it was not just the disease that took her away, but the fever and hunger."
“I can’t just turn a blind eye.”
After hearing what Qiao Jin said, Fu Yanlin's heart trembled suddenly, and he couldn't calm down for a while.
It was as if I saw my former self in Qiao Jin.
He is not a cold-hearted person. When he was in the army, he tried his best to treat his comrades and would never give up until the last moment.
He had experienced the feeling of powerlessness of trying his best but being unable to save the situation.
Looking at Qiao Jin now, Fu Yanlin's eyes became deeper. The first time he saw her in Qiaojia Village, she was rogue and indifferent, completely different from her now. He could hardly believe that this was the same person.
But Fu Yanlin understood that this was the real her.
She has her own principles and methods, and is never afraid of being misunderstood by others. She is only loyal to herself.
"After you came out of the store, did you sell the Ganoderma lucidum?"
Fu Yanlin knew that she would not accept the money directly.
