Li Nanshan opened the door and there were two people at the door, Ni Linli and her mother.
As soon as Tao Xiaoxi appeared, the mother and daughter knelt down with a thud.
Tao Xiaoxi quickly took two steps back. Li Nanshan stepped forward and tried to help them up, but the mother and daughter refused to get up.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't do this and scare the child." Li Nanshan said. Beibei was already curled up in a ball on the bed.
Mother Ni then spoke up: "Doctor Xiaoxi, please save our Li'er. We are really at our wit's end."
"What's the matter? Get up and tell me." Tao Xiaoxi said.
After a lot of effort, the mother and daughter finally came into the house, but they just looked at each other, unable to utter a word for a long time.
"How can I help you if you don't tell me?" Tao Xiaoxi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, but it was not easy to chase the man away.
"Li'er, why don't you tell it yourself?" Mother Ni looked at her daughter and said.
Ni Linli shook her head slightly, staring blankly at the ground.
"Then let me say it. I don't have much face to lose anymore." Mother Ni decided, but then looked at Li Nanshan again.
"I'm going to the toilet, you guys chat." Li Nanshan understood and went out.
Only then did Ni's mother tell the story. It was no wonder that she couldn't bring herself to speak. It was really difficult to talk about it. Ni Linli was pregnant, and she didn't know who the father of the child was.
"So what do you want?" Tao Xiaoxi probably guessed.
"Lin Li hasn't married yet, how can she have a child? We can't have this child." Mother Ni looked at Tao Xiaoxi with trembling shoulders.
They came to Tao Xiaoxi to ask her if she had any medicine that could abort the child and prevent it from being born.
"I understand what you mean, but I usually help people get pregnant. I have never prescribed medicine to help people avoid having children. Besides, I don't know how many months old this child is. I dare not use medicine. If I am not careful, it may endanger the adult's life." Tao Xiaoxi told the truth.
Unexpectedly, Ni's mother pulled her daughter and knelt down again. Tao Xiaoxi supported and comforted Beibei, making her feel very uncomfortable.
"My suggestion is to go to the hospital. They are more professional than me and it is safer. It's not that I don't want to help you, but I can't do anything that I am not sure of. It will hurt you and myself. Please don't make things difficult for me, auntie." Tao Xiaoximing said.
Having said that, the mother and daughter of the Ni family could no longer kneel. If they continued to kneel, it would be a naked threat and moral kidnapping.
As they walked, the mother and daughter supported each other and disappeared bit by bit into the long dark night. The night was silent, and the mother and daughter were like ghosts, floating and moving silently.
Tao Xiaoxi was patting Beibei's back while falling into deep thought, and didn't even notice Li Nanshan coming back.
"Are you still thinking about Ni Linli?" Li Nanshan asked after closing the door.
"It's so bitter." Tao Xiaoxi murmured, "Why does God want to make one person suffer?"
"Who isn't suffering? We are suffering too. Look, we can't even get enough to eat." Li Nanshan smiled.
"That's different. Compared to them, I think I'm much happier." Tao Xiaoxi said, but compared with her previous life, she has indeed fallen into a sea of suffering now. Fortunately, she has Li Nanshan to accompany her.
"If we can help, we will help. If we can't help, we can't force them. The premise of helping others is to protect yourself, otherwise it will be considered as overestimating your own abilities." Li Nanshan reminded.
Tao Xiaoxi smiled and said, "I know what you are thinking. I can't sacrifice myself to help others."
"I'm just worried that you'll feel bad because of the guilt you feel inside." Li Nanshan smiled.
The fact is, Tao Xiaoxi had a really bad night. She tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep. Ni Linli's helpless and desperate eyes kept floating in front of her. This girl was afraid that she would never believe in this world again, and would never believe in anyone again.
The next day, Tao Xiaoxi went to the county town again.
She told Li Nanshan that she would go to Zhao Bin to discuss the medicinal materials.
Li Nanshan didn't expose her, guessing that she must be doing this because of Ni Linli. This was evident from the fact that she had repeatedly come to his father's rescue.
Tao Xiaoxi did go to Zhao Bin for Ni Linli's matter. She didn't have that kind of medicine, but maybe Zhao Bin had it. However, Zhao Bin didn't have it either, saying that this kind of medicine was strictly controlled and difficult to get.
"You didn't ask for it yourself?" Zhao Bin added.
"Of course not!" Tao Xiaoxi quickly clarified, "It's my friend who got pregnant but didn't have the conditions to keep the baby."
"Then go to the hospital. It's not that hard."
"But we have to prove it." Tao Xiaoxi hit the nail on the head.
"It's not difficult to get a certificate. Just take your marriage certificate and people will be happy to stamp it. It's also a response to the policy," said Zhao Bin.
"Oh, you don't understand." Tao Xiaoxi sighed.
"Isn't your friend married?"
Tao Xiaoxi nodded helplessly.
"That's a bit tricky. I definitely can't go to a public hospital."
"Do you know of a private hospital that can do this? But it has to be reliable."
"I know him, but it costs money."
"I'm not afraid of spending money. Any problem that can be solved with money is not a big deal."
"Wow, you're so arrogant, Boss Tao." Zhao Bin joked.
Tao Xiaoxi had no intention of joking with him. She took the address Zhao Bin gave her and went back. Before leaving, she repeatedly reminded Zhao Bin to keep the matter confidential and to ask his friend, the doctor, to keep it confidential.
When she brought this news to Ni Linli, the girl with dull eyes finally raised her head, her eyes slightly rippling with moisture.
Ni's parents thanked her profusely, and Tao Xiaoxi left quickly, fearing that they would kneel down to her again, and also afraid of seeing Ni Linli's desperate eyes.
Tao Xiaoxi, exhausted after a long journey, collapsed on the kang. Beibei was playing in front of the house. When he saw his mother coming back, he also climbed onto the kang and asked, "Mom, where have you been?"
"Mom did a good thing. Beibei, do you think she is great?" Tao Xiaoxi said while lying on the bed with her eyes closed.
"What great thing? Let me learn from it too." Li Nanshan came in and said.
Tao Xiaoxi immediately opened her eyes and blushed, "It's nothing, I was just joking with the child."
"What? Comrade Tao Xiaoxi is planning to do good deeds without leaving his name and not let his family members make progress together?" Li Nanshan smiled and looked at the shy person on the bed.
After hearing what Li Nanshan said, Tao Xiaoxi felt even more embarrassed. She covered herself with the quilt and said that she wanted to rest and asked Li Nanshan to take Beibei out to play.
"Come on, Beibei, let's not disturb mom's sleep. How about I take you to go fishing?" Li Nanshan picked up Beibei.
"Okay!" Beibei danced with joy, hugged Li Nanshan's neck and moved forward.
"Be careful and don't let Beibei go into the water." Tao Xiaoxi warned.
How could Tao Xiaoxi really sleep? Lying on the kang with his eyes open, he thought, this era is indeed hard, but if everyone supports each other, it won't be so hard.
When we cultivate barren land, we always hope that it will bear abundant fruit, no matter whether it is bitter or sweet. No one is born with despair; even a flower in the ruins has its meaning in blooming.
I hope we can live freely and unrestrainedly in the wind.
