"Brother Zhiming, we were at the night market and saw the beautiful woman who sold herself to save her father again."
After Yu Zhiming clicked on a voice message, he found another voice message popping up on his phone, so he clicked on it again.
"I suggested taking photos of her medical records and sending them to my brother, a doctor at Binhai Hospital. The beautiful woman was very cooperative and even asked for our help."
"Brother Zhiming, I always feel that she doesn't seem like a liar."
After listening to the voice message, Yu Zhiming saw that everyone at the table was looking at him, so he briefly told them about Qi Yin leaving home without saying a word to go out for fun, and how he met a woman who sold herself to save her father.
"Oh, oh, what a loss..."
Xiaoxue suddenly shouted, "I realized I've never really traveled since I was a kid. I must plan a trip this summer."
"Yan Yan, shall we go together?"
Zeng Yan thought, this shouldn’t be the focus, right?
But she still replied: "This summer, I have an internship and I have to go home, so I probably won't have time to go out and play."
"Hey, Xiaoxue, you can accompany me home. I'll go home, and you can travel to Guangzhou and Shenzhen."
Xiaoxue's eyes sparkled as she said, "That's a great idea. There's no reason for my parents to disagree. Let's happily make the decision."
After the two guys finished talking, Zhou Mo asked Yu Zhiming curiously, "Is it cancer?"
Yu Zhiming casually clicked on a photo sent by Qi Yin, took a quick glance, and saw that the medical record on it described symptoms such as muscle paralysis and incontinence.
He shook his head slightly and said, "It's not cancer. It's most likely a central nervous system disease..."
At this point, Qing Ning snatched the phone from Yu Zhiming's hand.
"Eat first. Once you're full and have some free time, it won't be too late to look over these medical records in detail."
Zhou Mo also agreed: "Yes, eating is important."
"Since that prostitute had time to seek help at the night market, her father's illness must not be an emergency, so there should be plenty of time for treatment."
Xiaoxue spoke up again, "Could he be a liar? Selling oneself to save one's father is really a bit exaggerated these days."
Feng Sisi also nodded and said, "I think he's a liar."
"Some internet celebrities are willing to fabricate any shameless gimmicks to attract traffic and attention."
Zeng Yan objected, "He might not be a liar. He might be desperate and acting out of desperation."
"Just like what happened in the streets of Guangzhou and Shenzhen more than a decade ago, when a woman knelt and walked a kilometer while holding her child, causing a commotion."
"Although it was later proven that it was planned by an internet user, the real purpose was to help the woman who had sought help from everywhere but to no avail, and to raise funds for the treatment of her child who had eye cancer."
Zeng Yan said sympathetically, "I think that unless they are desperate, most Chinese people won't put aside their pride and seek help in such a blatant way."
Feng Sisi snorted softly, "Yan Yan, you'll understand once you enter society. Some people are truly shameless and have no moral bottom line. For the sake of profit, there's nothing they can't do, except what you can't imagine."
She added, "Of course, there are only a few people like this, but they are enough to spoil the whole pot of soup."
Yu Zhiming finally spoke up: "Okay, whether he's a liar or not, you don't need to discuss it anymore, let's eat."
He thought of something else and started to remind them, "Xiaoxue, Yanyan, and Zhou Mo, although you and Qi Xin are not familiar with each other, you know each other."
"I'll find a chance to communicate with her later."
Yu Zhiming sighed again, "At her age, she is prone to extremes and going astray. She needs the guidance of good friends."
Xiaoxue, Zeng Yan and Zhou Mo responded in unison.
Yu Zhiming looked at Qing Ning beside him and asked, "You were also a problem girl during your adolescence. How did you get through it?"
Seeing everyone looking at her, Qing Ning quickly defended herself, "Zhi Ming, you misunderstood."
"I wasn't a problem girl during adolescence. I just acted a little recklessly and out of line."
"Unlike Qi Yin, my parents have a happy marriage and I have my brother's love and care. How could I be a problem girl?"
Xiaoxue looked as if she had suddenly realized something. She asked, "Aunt, you're not a problem girl. You're more like those rich, willful, and spoiled young ladies in movies and TV shows."
Qing Ning nodded quickly and said, "She's pretty much that kind of young lady, a bit willful and flamboyant in her actions, but kind-hearted by nature."
Yu Zhiming listened to this and tried hard not to roll his eyes.
Based on what he gradually learned about Qing Ning's behavior in middle school, he could be sure that she was a bad girl without a doubt.
But Qing Ning said that she was just willful and flamboyant, and Yu Zhiming didn't want to expose her true face in front of everyone.
The next moment, Qing Ning changed the subject and said, "Divorce is commonplace in our country. There will only be more and more children like Qi Xin. Psychological counseling should become a core subject in middle schools."
"It's just that our country has never paid much attention to mental health."
"Zhiming, don't you think so?"
Yu Zhiming nodded in agreement...
After dinner, everyone moved to the living room to chat for a while, which soon turned into a talent show.
Yu Zhiming first played a erhu piece "Sweet Honey" at the request of everyone, and Qing Ning performed a classical dance.
Zhou Mo used her heavenly voice to sing a song called "Scarborough Fair" which showed her great skill and was a real refresh to Yu Zhiming's ears.
Feng Sisi played a piano piece, and Xiaoxue and Zeng Yan sang "The Wind Blows" with accompaniment.
After the talent show, Yu Zhiming picked up his phone and looked through the medical information Qi Xin had sent him...
Seeing Yu Zhiming immersed in his work, Qing Ning, Zhou Mo and others who gathered together consciously lowered their voices.
"Sister Momo..."
Xiaoxue said with a burning gaze, "Your singing of Scarborough Fair is so beautiful, it could make my ears pregnant."
"You have such a beautiful voice, can sing, and are beautiful. It would be a huge loss to the music industry if you didn't become a singer."
Zhou Mo smiled softly and said, "I used to have a fear of public speaking. I didn't dare to perform in front of a crowd, so I could only entertain myself in the bathroom while taking a shower. It was only recently that I overcame this fear of public speaking and dared to sing in front of you."
Xiaoxue pressed on, "Did my uncle cure your fear of public speaking?"
Zhou Mo glanced at Yu Zhiming, who was sitting on the other end of the sofa with a pensive look on his face, and said softly, "This fear of public speaking is a psychological problem. Your uncle can't cure it."
"However, without your uncle's encouragement and help, I wouldn't be able to get over my fear of public speaking."
Feng Sisi asked, "Sister Momo, there are so many singing talent shows these days. Do you want to make up for your lack of stage performances and try your hand at becoming a singing star?"
Zhou Mo shook his head and said, "I'm past the age of dreaming about being a star. Now I have a job that I enjoy doing more, that is more fulfilling, and more meaningful."
"My cousin's husband's assistant?"
Zhou Mo nodded and then saw Qing Ning handing a glass of water to Yu Zhiming, who was frowning.
"Is the patient's problem serious?"
Yu Zhiming took the cup and said, "The symptoms are severe, and the main problem is that the treatment is ineffective."
Qing Ning asked: "What problem caused the treatment to be ineffective?"
Yu Zhiming explained: "This person had been ill for over a month and had been treated for tetanus, encephalitis, and Guillain-Barré syndrome, but none of them worked."
"I think the cause of his illness has not yet been diagnosed."
Hearing this, Zeng Yan asked, "Uncle, in your opinion, what disease does this patient have?"
Yu Zhiming said matter-of-factly, "That's the problem. I can't diagnose what disease this person has at the moment."
"It's a bit weird, and I always feel like something is missing."
Zhou Mo asked, "Doctor Yu, would you like to have the patient come to Binhai so you can examine him personally?"
Yu Zhiming pondered for a moment and said, "Given the patient's current paralyzed condition and bedridden condition, it's not easy for him to come all the way to Binhai. I'll study it first..."
