"I'm busy. Do I need to pay for the anesthesia?"
Most medical care is free nowadays, with the exception of some special medicines, such as anesthetics.
"Hand it over later. I'll take care of it for her first."
Because the wound on the girl's forehead is irregular, large, and still bleeding, it needs immediate treatment.
"Okay, thank you for your help. We are girls and hope you can sew it more beautifully."
The doctor nodded and stood up to prepare things.
"The doctor will treat your wound in a while. It will hurt a little. If you can't bear it, just tell me, okay?"
The girl's hand tightly grasped Ye Jiaying as soon as she entered the clinic, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.
Hearing her say this, she blinked and wanted to nod, but was held down by Ye Jiaying.
"Don't move, be careful of the wound."
"Yeah, I can handle pain very well."
I don’t know what happened to her. A child of eight or nine years old can say that she can endure pain very well.
The doctor came back quickly and motioned Ye Jiaying to carry the girl to the operating table in the back.
"You guys go out first."
After settling the little girl down, the doctor sent the two away and treated the little girl's wounds with an assistant nurse.
When she came out again, it was more than an hour later. The girl came out by herself with gauze wrapped around her head.
"Here's the payment slip. I'll prescribe some anti-inflammatory medicine for you. Come back in three days to change the dressing and see if the stitches can be removed."
The doctor gave instructions one by one, and finally hesitated for a moment, looking at Ye Jiaying and the others.
"Do you want to check out her leg as well? It doesn't look like a new injury, but I suggest checking it out sooner rather than later. Maybe she can still walk normally."
"want."
"don't want."
Two voices sounded at the same time.
One is for Ye Jiaying and the other is for the girl.
"Sister, no need. I've already troubled you today."
Facing Ye Jiaying's surprised look, the girl explained in a low voice.
"It's okay, since we're here, let's take a look together."
"But I don't have any money to give you."
The little girl's voice was still very soft and she was very uneasy.
She must have spent a lot of money on her sister, but she has no money now. Anyway, her legs have been fine for several years, and apart from the fact that it is a little awkward to walk, the pain is not that great anymore.
The doctor said nothing, just looked at the two of them.
Ye Jiaying was afraid that the doctor would notice something, so she gave the payment slip to Gu Qinglin.
"Please help pay the money."
Gu Qinglin nodded, turned and walked out.
She said to the doctor again.
"Doctor, I'll try to persuade her."
The doctor waved his hand, and Ye Jiaying took the little girl out.
She took the little girl to a seat with few people and helped her sit down.
"May I have your name."
The girl stirred the corner of her clothes nervously, looked up, and then lowered her head again.
"My name is Daya."
Daya sounds like a nickname, or it means the first girl in a certain place, not a serious name.
But Ye Jiaying didn't ask any further questions and gently touched her messy hair.
"Daya, can you tell me what happened today? How did you fall? Did someone bully you?"
The girl raised her head again, looked at Ye Jiaying carefully for a while, and suddenly stood up, about to kneel down to Ye Jiaying, but she was quickly hugged and put back on the chair.
"What are you doing?"
What's wrong with this kid?
"Sister, I want to thank you."
She was quite uneasy about being stopped.
"Just say thank you, why kneel down? Don't kneel down to anyone except your parents."
Daya looked up at Ye Jiaying with confusion in her eyes.
Since she was a child, her parents told her that if she wanted to sincerely thank someone, she had to kneel down and kowtow, but her sister did not allow her to kowtow.
When she thought of her parents, her expression changed again. What they taught might not be correct.
Ye Jiaying sighed as he looked at Daya's confused expression.
I asked her softly, "Can you tell your sister, what happened to you?"
Daya nodded.
She didn't know what to do now. This sister made her feel trustworthy, so she told her everything.
Daya was not from Beijing. She mentioned the name of a village that Ye Jiaying had never heard of, but judging from her accent, she should be from Shandong Province.
Her village is near the railway tracks and she came here by hitching a ride on a train.
"Climbing on a train? You, did you fall on that train?"
Ye Jiaying was startled.
She had only seen train hopping in old movies and some Indian videos.
How could a little girl like her have the courage to jump on the train?
"No, my foot was beaten by my father because I was disobedient."
Ye Jiaying frowned.
What the hell, the father beat his daughter to a cripple?
What kind of parents are these? Is this daughter her biological daughter?
But she also asked, why are you not listening?
Such a kid must have made a big mistake to be beaten and crippled.
Daya choked and sniffed hard before continuing.
Their family lived in a remote village under Lu City. His parents wanted a son, but Daya was a girl. There were many girls born in the village, and the sister could love her brother more.
But her family soon had Erya, Sanya, and Siya.
After four consecutive babies were all girls, Daya's parents started to get anxious. In their village, the most girls were born was seven, and his family couldn't afford to raise them.
When the four daughters were born, the eldest was seven years old and the second was five years old.
San Ya was sent away, and Si Ya was thrown into the back mountain after she was born.
Her grandmother said that she wanted to scare the girls who came after her and tell them that they would not survive if they came to her house.
I don’t know if grandma’s method worked, but for the fifth time, her mother finally gave birth to a younger brother.
The whole family was very happy, and grandma proudly told others that the method really worked.
Daya was seven years old at that time, but she felt that Si Ya shouldn't do that. She even secretly went to the mountain to look for her, but couldn't find her after searching for a long time.
Grandma said that having only one boy was too few people, so her mother gave birth to another one, but it was another girl. Her grandmother was not satisfied and gave the girl away again.
Because our family kept having children, we were very poor. Last year, my younger brother fell ill. At first, my grandmother said it was okay and treated him with traditional remedies. When he didn't get better, she took him to the hospital.
This illness was very serious and required a lot of money. Her family had no money, and even after borrowing from all relatives, there was still not much money. So her father sold her to the fool's family in the next village as a daughter-in-law.
She didn't want to do it, so her father beat her and broke her leg.
At first her father thought she was pretending, but after several days, her leg didn't get better. Her father didn't care and said that a lame person and a fool were just right.
She was only eleven years old and could not resist her family, so she was sent to a fool's house to be his wife.
The fool is older than her. Although he is stupid, he is tall and strong, and likes to beat people.
She was beaten several times, but no one cared about her. Everyone said, "He is a fool, what does he know? Just bear with it."
Her parents' family ignored her, and her in-laws treated her like a punching bag. She endured it obediently for a few months, and when everyone thought she was obedient and endured it, she ran away.
He jumped on the train and ran away.
