The old doctor wasn’t really angry and waved his hand at Qin Yuan, "I don’t owe you that meal, so stop the sweet talk. Next time you invite me to see a patient, remember to be gentle. My old arms and legs can’t afford being mishandled by you a few more times, or they’ll really fall apart."
After speaking, the old doctor ignored Qin Yuan, who continued to humor him with flattery, and picked up his medical kit to see the patients. When he reached the bedside and saw Mrs. Bai with her head covered in blood, and Qin Shuangshuang clutching Mrs. Bai’s hand, staring dumbly at her, his heart couldn’t help but sigh.
Recently, he had rushed to Qin Family Village three times in a row. Although the families he visited were different every time, they were all from one family. The first visit was for the Second Lady, the second for her elder sister, the Eldest Lady, and the third for Mrs. Bai, who judging by the wound had tried to commit suicide by banging her head but survived.
Feeling sorry for the unfortunate family of three, he skillfully treated Mrs. Bai’s wounds and checked her pulse. During this, Qin Shuangshuang’s gaze shifted from her mother, Mrs. Bai, to the old doctor, her eyes following him around and unnerving the old doctor somewhat!
Under the pressure of Qin Shuangshuang’s stare, the old doctor carefully treated Mrs. Bai’s wounds, thoroughly examined her pulse, and after a long diagnosis, he finally hummed a sound while stroking his graying beard and said to Qin Shuangshuang, who had been staring at him, "Nothing serious, even though there’s a cut, it might just leave a scar."
Upon hearing the diagnosis, the heart that Qin Shuangshuang had been holding in suspense finally relaxed. She breathed a huge sigh of relief, and suddenly, every muscle in her body which had been tensed up loosened. Her legs went weak and she was about to sit down on the floor.
Mrs. Wang hurriedly supported Qin Shuangshuang, allowing her to sit by Mrs. Bai’s bed. Qin Shuangshuang did not sit down, though. Instead, she knelt to the ground with a thud in front of Mrs. Wang, crying as she said, "Grandma Wang, please save us, I’m begging you, this time help us think of a way to let my mother and me leave that home!"
"In that home, we really can’t live anymore. We want nothing, we’ll leave empty-handed, I’ll go to the mountains to chop wood and gather mountain goods to sell and support my mother. I just want to take my mother and leave that home! Grandma Wang, please, help me!"
