FSC [QT] Chapter 182.1

“How can you be such a grandmother? You only sent the child here when the wound was already festering.”

The doctor who received the patient was a woman. She was furious when she saw Xie Wu’s dark and thin appearance and the skin and flesh on her head that had already shown signs of decay.

If her daughter had been injured so seriously, she would have brought the child to the hospital immediately.

“Well, forget it. Go and pay the money. You need a minor operation for such an injury. You should be thankful that there are still some anti-inflammatory drugs left from the batch of drugs distributed to the hospital last week. Otherwise, even if such a wound is infected and the fever cannot be suppressed, it will be fatal.”

In this era, all kinds of supplies are in short supply. County-level hospitals in poor areas like theirs don’t have better equipment. Even for some scarce medicinal materials, leaders have to cry out to their superiors before they can get a batch.

Unless the patient’s condition is serious, otherwise, no anti-inflammatory or anti-fever medicines will be used for a common cold or fever.

The doctor looked at the patches on Xu Chunxiu’s clothes and the chapped wounds on her hands.

Thinking of the hard life in the countryside, not every household has enough money to treat their children, she could only hold back her complaints and say nothing more extreme.

Xu Chunxiu no longer had time to refute the doctor that she was the child’s biological mother, not the child’s grandmother. After listening to the doctor’s words, she nodded repeatedly and followed the captain to handle various procedures.

“All the bad flesh on the wound has been cut off. The wound is too big, and it will leave a scar if nothing goes wrong.”

The female doctor came out of the simple operating room with a little nurse and said to Xu Chunxiu, who was sweating all over because of nervousness.

“Doctor, my daughter won’t die, will she?”

Whether there would be a scar was not something Xu Chunxiu cared about at all.

As soon as she closed her eyes, the pale, cold, and hard face of her daughter in the previous life would appear in her mind, without any warmth.

She hugged Ah Wu, whose body had long been cold, and heard the non-stop cursing from her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law.

Those people even attacked her and wanted to snatch the daughter in her arms and bury her casually.

Xu Chunxiu always felt that her daughter was not dead yet. She had only suffered from hardships since she was a child and had never enjoyed any happiness.

When she was confused by the fever, her daughter asked her when her father would retire. Because, she always used those words to coax the child, saying that as long as her father came home, she could drink malted milk and eat boiled eggs like her eldest and second uncles’ cousins. Before she died, her daughter still had this thought…

Miao Fengmei felt that it was unlucky to leave Xie Wu’s body at home. She was also worried that the night would be long and dreams would be many. She wanted to bury Xie Wu’s body hastily when outsiders were not paying attention.

When others asked about it, she would just say that she had a sudden emergency. Anyway, there were girls who died of starvation and disease in the early years. Because she was a girl, even the funeral was quiet.

Xu Chunxiu struggled like crazy. In order to keep her daughter’s body, her arms, face, and even the parts not exposed under her clothes were all covered with scratches. The back of her hand was scratched bloody.

But even so, she still couldn’t get her daughter’s body back. Instead, she angered Miao Fengmei and others, and she was tied up with hemp rope by them. She was not released until Xie Changzheng suddenly came home a few days later.

At that time, her daughter’s body had been thrown into the back mountain by Xie Changgeng and others who thought it was troublesome to dig a pit to bury people.

There were often carnivorous beasts there. The man went to the back mountain that day, but in the end, he only found some scraps of cloth and a few bones with rotten meat.

Xu Chunxiu’s hands tightly grasped the corner of her clothes. Just thinking back to that scene made her heart ache.

“Let’s see if the fever can go away.”

The female doctor looked at Xu Chunxiu with surprise. She had never thought that the woman in front of her, who looked more than 50 years old, was actually the mother of the little girl inside.

“She has a special case. You can go to the nurse’s office to get the brown sugar ticket later. When the child wakes up, make some brown sugar water for the child. If there are red beans or red dates at home, use these to make porridge for the child. These are good things to replenish blood.”

These days, when supplies are based on tickets, there are some special tickets that ordinary people can not get at all.

Taking this situation into consideration, the hospital would issue these tickets to patients. For example, this brown sugar ticket. Given Xu Chunxiu’s identity, she could not get such a good thing at all.

“Thank you, doctor.”

Xu Chunxiu nodded repeatedly, her eyes constantly looking into the operating room.
