"This..." Doctor Qian looked at the thin Zhu Qing and then at the young woman, feeling quite hesitant.
He wanted to refuse outright, after all, the young woman had said before that she would be responsible for all the expenses of this diagnosis and treatment.
But looking at Zhu Qing's resolute look, she felt that it was not easy to express her rejection.
Seeing his hesitation, Zhu Qing knew that he was probably afraid of the young woman, so he quickly said to her: "This lady, it's not that I am ignorant and unwilling to accept your favor. In fact, you can persuade Doctor Qian to come and save me today.
Little brother, this is already a great favor. I will definitely repay the medical expenses and medical expenses! Otherwise, our whole family will be uneasy."
Hearing what her daughter said, Zhu Qingniang nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes...that's the truth."
She looked at Dr. Qian and the young woman, and saw that there was no hesitation on their faces, so she plucked up the courage to whisper: "My young girl is celebrating the Chinese New Year. She can do laundry, cooking, and cleaning the yard.
Do it! Really! This girl of mine may do it, but she is so diligent..." She paused and said with some embarrassment: "This girl doesn't have a big appetite, she doesn't eat much..."
I don’t know whether it was Zhuqing’s resolute attitude or Zhuqingniang’s comment about Zhuqing’s ability but little food that moved the young woman. After hearing Zhuqingniang’s words, she smiled and said to Doctor Qian: “That’s fine.
.Dr. Qian, just let this girl go to your house to help for a few days, and let her use her work to pay for the medical expenses!"
Doctor Qian had always said that she would do whatever she said. Now seeing that she agreed, he relaxed: "That's it, little girl, since this lady said so, then you can come to my house whenever you are free.
Bar!"
When Zhuqing heard this, she was overjoyed and breathed a sigh of relief. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly unconsciously. If she had the opportunity to go to Dr. Qian's house, she could slowly find a way to monetize her wealth of medical knowledge.
By then, with my medical skills, I might be able to improve the family's situation a little bit.
This family is really too poor. Apart from this shabby thatched cottage and the small yard, it is really nothing but bare walls.
Just relying on her cheap father to work outside would be a problem for her to make ends meet.
The only thing she was lucky about was that although her parents were a little poorer, they still kept their bottom line as a human being and had no particular tendency to favor boys over girls.
Unlike some families in this small village who simply sold their daughters to others as child brides or sold them outright when they couldn't survive.
In some families, if their children get sick and have trouble seeing them again and again, the adults just let them go in order not to hinder their own lives.
No matter how hard life was, they never gave up on their seriously ill son. They never said they would sell their daughter for their son. They just gritted their teeth and worked hard to live. This is what Zhuqing admires the most.
So when she saw Doctor Qian relaxed, she quickly said: "I will go when my brother's fever subsides. But I have to go home every day, because my mother takes care of her brother alone and farms, so she will definitely be too busy. I have to go home at night.
Help her cook."
Dr. Qian nodded when he heard this: "That's okay. Little girl, then you can help me at home for a month. One month is enough."
Zhu Qing thought in one month, I will be able to understand medicine and be able to see a doctor without being criticized or suspected? No matter what, it will take half a year!
So she quickly shook her head: "One month is too short! Doctor Qian, you are so kind! In this month, you can't even pay for your consultation! I will go to your house to help for half a year! Half a year is probably barely enough.
Pay for the medicine. Besides, my brother is in poor health. Maybe he will have some trouble in the next six months, and I will have to trouble you."
This girl's abacus is too good!
Doctor Qian was a little speechless after hearing this. But because of the young woman, he finally nodded: "That's okay, just half a year! This is what you want!"
As he spoke, he looked at the young woman and thought that he didn't want to take advantage of the family this time. It was her own choice.
After listening to the conversation between the two of them, the young woman's expression did not change much, but her eyes looking at Zhu Qing became softer.
"This little girl is quite clever." She commented secretly.
Zhuqing was very happy when he saw that his proposal was accepted by Dr. Qian.
At this time, the coachman Lao Ding reminded from the side: "Madam, it's getting late, let's go back! This girl will go to the town with us to get medicine? I will give her a ride when I come back."
Seeing the situation at Zhuqing's home and looking at Zhuqing's behavior, Lao Ding had a good impression of her and was very willing to help her.
"Well, okay. Let's go!" The young woman nodded.
At this moment, Zhuqing's younger brother Zhushan woke up and was lying on the wooden bed with his eyes half open. When he saw a large group of people in the room taking Zhuqing away, he asked nervously in a hoarse voice: "Where are you going, sister?"
?”
Zhuqing saw the worry in his eyes and said to him quickly: "Shan'er, sister is going to get you medicine. You lie down obediently. It's raining outside, don't get cold if you get up."
Hearing that his sister was going to get medicine for him, Zhushan just nodded in relief: "Sister, you go early and come back early. I'll wait for you to come back!"
Zhuqing looked at his pale face, big wet eyes, and lips that were chapped due to long-term fever, and couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
Although this child is seven years old, he looks like he is just over five years old. He has a very quiet temperament and is very sensible. Although he is very sick, he has never lost his temper. Every time he gets sick, he grits his teeth and fights.
Tolerate.
It was completely different from the naughty children she saw in modern society who would roll around on the ground because they couldn't get a toy.
Therefore, Zhuqing has always felt pity for him.
"Qing'er, do you want to go wearing shoes?" Zhu Qingniang reminded her rather uncomfortably, and bent down to take out a pair of new and not old shoes from under the bed.
Previously, her son's illness was so severe that Zhuqing almost ran away without wearing shoes.
Now the little girl was going to town, and the people around her were all decent people, so she thought that she could not let her daughter go barefoot anymore.
She understood her mother's little thoughts almost instantly. Zhuqing took the shoes and put them on. The shoes did not fit her feet and were a bit too big, but she could still walk in them.
By the time she was putting on her shoes, the young woman and Doctor Qian were out.
Zhu Qingniang whispered to her: "I really want to thank that noble person today. Don't forget to thank her properly later! I forgot to thank her just now. It was really rude. Don't forget it.
."
Zhuqing nodded quickly: "Mom, I know everything. I will find a way to find out their origins later, and we will repay the favor when we are able."
Zhu Qingniang nodded: "Yes, that's the truth! Hey, as long as your brother gets better, our family's life will be better!"
"Mom, my brother will definitely be well!" Zhu Qing comforted her and left the house.
