Hearing someone coming to the front yard, Tian Cai didn't even bother to put down the bamboo stick in his hand and walked over quickly.
It was Old Mrs. He from the village who came over with a young girl with a flushed face.
When Tian Cai saw that it was the old lady, he frowned, but said nothing and led the person into the pharmacy.
One time, when she came back from the county, she happened to see this old lady gossiping with people at the village entrance, saying that Qiuju had given birth to another daughter, and that the old Sun family's two daughters-in-law had both given birth to daughters, and that the family might be extinct in the future. Her words were very unpleasant, and she looked down on girls in her words. The key point was that several old ladies of about her age also agreed with her.
What was said at that time had nothing to do with Tian Cai. Besides, the old ladies in the village were so busy with their work that they didn't hesitate to gossip. They had been doing this for a long time, but she remembered Old Lady He.
After the two of them sat down on the bench, Tian Cai washed his hands, looked at her and said calmly, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Ever since Old Mrs. He came in, she had never taken her eyes off Tian Cai. She had seen this young doctor before, but she didn't think much of him then. How come he became so beautiful after not seeing him for a few days? His skin was so white that it seemed to reflect light.
If Jinzhi could grow up like this, let alone a betrothal gift of 150 yuan, she could ask for 500 yuan!
When Mrs. He heard what Tian Cai said, she immediately reacted, "Hey, Doctor Tian, it's not me who is treating the disease, it's my little girl who is treating it."
As he spoke, he pulled He Jinzhi forward and said with a flattering smile, "This is my daughter. We're going to get married soon. Could you please take a look at what's growing on her body?"
Tian Cai then looked at the girl carefully. She had seen the only girl of the He family before when she was working in the fields. She was not talkative and always kept her head down. She worked very efficiently, but she didn't look very old. She was already eighteen?
He Jinzhi was originally still secretly observing Tian Cai. It was also the first time for her to see the only doctor in the team up close. Coupled with some obscure thoughts that she could not express openly, she could not help but compare herself with others secretly. The more she compared, the heavier her heart became.
Although she knew that Tian Cai was good-looking, she didn't know she was so good-looking. Her pretty face, fair skin, and slender fingers placed on the table all showed the huge difference between the two of them.
When He Jinzhi saw Tian Cai turning around, she quickly lowered her head, burying it even lower.
Tian Cai had also noticed the gazes falling on him, and thought the little girl was shy, so he smiled at her and said, "Don't be shy yet, come over here and let me show you."
He Jinzhi hesitated, not wanting to go over and humiliate herself.
Old Madam He didn't give her a chance to hesitate. She pulled her in front of her and forced her to sit on a stool. She took her hand and placed it on the table with a clang, smiling flatteringly, "Doctor Tian, take a look!"
He Jinzhi's face turned pale in an instant.
Tian Cai glanced at Old Lady He, moved her lips but said nothing. She just gently placed her hand on He Jinzhi's wrist. She listened to her pulse for a while, then looked up to observe her face and asked, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
He Jinzhi bit her lip, her eyes falling on the huge difference in skin color between the two people. She felt more and more bitter in her heart. If she was like Tian Cai and had the ability to earn so many work points, could she also have such fair skin? The thought of exposing her disgusting affected area in front of others made it even more difficult for her to speak.
Old Madam He couldn't stand her dithering and slapped her on the back. "Who did you inherit this melon-like temper from? Why can't you be more decisive in doing things?"
He Jinzhi's eyes suddenly turned red. Old Madam He often beat her, but every time she was beaten in front of outsiders, she felt particularly ashamed. What's more, the person standing in front of her was Tian Cai. She felt more and more as if her face was torn off by her own mother and thrown on the ground and stepped on. Her face turned blue and red for a while.
Seeing that He Jinzhi still didn't move, Mrs. He went forward and lifted her clothes.
"Shua"
"ah--"
He Jinzhi stretched out her hand to block it, but Tian Cai had already seen it.
The large red rash on the waist and abdomen extended all the way to the blocked chest. I don’t know if it was because of the friction from the clothes, but most of the rash had broken the skin. There were even signs of festering in the two folds of the waist and abdomen, and yellow liquid was oozing out.
He Jinzhi hurriedly tried to pull the clothes from her mother's hands and put them down, but her mother slapped her on the head again. "What's wrong with you, kid? You're so stubborn! We're both girls, why are you trying so hard to cover it up?"
He Jinzhi's arms were clamped by her mother and she couldn't move. She bit her lower lip tightly, as if she was deeply humiliated. She was trembling slightly, not knowing whether she was angry or ashamed.
Tian Cai was a little speechless. Did he come to see the doctor on his own initiative, or was she forcing him to come? He looked like this, and it was really hard to say what to do. However, although she thought so in her heart, her face did not show it at all. Seeing that the affected area was already exposed, she reached out and took a box of homemade cotton swabs from the medicine cabinet. She used the cotton swabs to pick at the rash, carefully examined it, and asked her, "Does it hurt or itch?"
He Jinzhi's face was pale and she said nothing. Feeling her mother's sudden increase in strength, she said reluctantly, "Itchy."
She lowered her eyelids, her gaze fixed on the thin stick pressing against her body. She felt deeply humiliated. What did this mean? Was he disgusted by the growth on her body and worried about infecting her? But no matter how angry she felt, she didn't dare show it.
"Is it a constant itch or does it occur in certain periods of time?"
He Jinzhi: "...It's fine during the day, but it itches at night."
Tian Cai pulled up her clothes and looked at her back. He couldn't see anything above, so he said to the two of them, "You have to untie the top clothes so I can see."
Although He Jinzhi's face still looked bad after this, it was better than before. Maybe she was desperate or something, but she obediently undressed.
The rash spread all the way to her chest and also grew a lot between her breasts. Tian Cai checked her back, arms and thighs again and confirmed that the rash was only on her chest and abdomen.
"Did you scratch it?" Tian Cai pointed at the spot where pus was flowing and asked, "Have you ever observed whether this yellow fluid rubbed against other places would cause a rash?"
He Jinzhi turned her head away from her, but her ears were still perked up. Hearing this, she couldn't help but follow Tian Cai's thoughts. She first got the rash on her stomach, and then it became more and more. It seemed that it was because the water from scratching it was rubbed on other places. She immediately ignored the shame and anger and widened her eyes, "Yes! I didn't have so many before!"
Tian Cai carefully observed the rashes. Pus could cause a secondary infection if it got close to the rashes, so it couldn't be eczema. "Do you get these every year, or did they suddenly appear this year?"
