A ragged cub at the beginning

Zhao Yuexi had lost a lot of weight, and was almost just a skeleton. Her face was pale, her red eyes were half closed, and her mouth was slightly open as she breathed deeply. Her chest occasionally trembled, as if she was about to cough.

"Madam! It works! It stopped!" Furong said happily.

"The cold air has entered your lungs. Why didn't you come to me earlier?" Banxia was a little angry. She pulled Zhao Yuexi's wrist to feel her pulse and cursed for a long time, "Quack! Bring me paper and pen!"

She quickly wrote a prescription, "Go get the medicine, boil it and send it back right away! Pour a glass of water!" After that, she took out another pill and fed it to Zhao Yuexi with water.

After a while, Zhao Yuexi closed her eyes and fell asleep, but her eyebrows were furrowed, and she looked uneasy.

"I'm asleep, I'm asleep. God bless me! I can fall asleep!" The wet nurse cried with joy and put her hands together and bowed to the sky.

"Madam!" Furong looked at her wife in surprise.

Mrs. Zhao covered her mouth with a handkerchief to muffle her crying. After a while, she bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Director Tang."

"You don't have to do this. I'm doing this for the child." Tang Xu helped her up. "Banxia, ​​how are you?"

"If it's one or two days later, even if she is cured, the root of the disease will remain. It's not too late now, but I'm afraid she will have to rest for a long time." Banxia took out the needle bag, "I'm going to give her the acupuncture now. Close the doors and windows to prevent the wind from coming in, and then take off her shirt."

"Yes." The nurse wiped her tears and went to close the doors and windows. Furong helped to take off Zhao Yuexi's shirt, revealing her ribs.

Mrs. Zhao turned her head and started crying with her hands covering her mouth.

The wet nurse couldn't bear to look at the child she had raised, whose body was full of needles, and turned her head away.

After tossing and turning until it was dark, Zhao Yuexi finally drank the medicine and fell asleep, her face relaxed. She only coughed once or twice from time to time, but she didn't wake up, which showed that she was no longer in pain as before.

"Thank you, young doctor, for your hard work." Mrs. Zhao said, holding out a box of silver ingots, "This is a thank-you gift, please be sure to accept it. I'm sorry for your hard work these past few days."

Banxia frowned, not wanting it, so Tang Xu accepted it for her. It would be a waste if she didn't want it, and the Zhao family didn't need the money.

But if Banxia wants to continue to practice medicine in the future, she will need money to support herself, as a poor family makes a rich journey.

"Sister Xu, you go back first. I have to stay here for a few days." Seeing that she accepted it, Banxia thought she was short of money and didn't care.

"Okay, I'll go back first." Tang Xu said goodbye to her, not worried. The Zhao family was using Upper Half Summer, so they would definitely treat it with respect.

"Director Tang, please take care. It's getting late. Let Furong see you off." Mrs. Zhao's attitude was much better than before. She turned around and ordered, "Furong, prepare a car to take Director Tang back."

"Madam, that's not necessary. I was just about to tell you that the housekeeper just reported that Mayor Du came to pick you up in person." Furong said.

"Du Yun is here?" Tang Xu's eyes lit up, "Hurry up."

Du Yun was sitting in the main hall, chatting with Master Zhao.

"Liu Jing! You're here!" Tang Xu rushed over happily.

Du Yun held her arm and said, "Slow down, are you done? How is Miss Zhao?"

"Banxia is watching, everything is fine. But she needs to stay here for a few days and won't go back today." Tang Xu said.

"Oh? My daughter is getting better? Thank you for your concern, Mrs. Du, the mayor of Du."

Du Yun exchanged a few polite words with Mr. Zhao, and then they both went back.

Banxia came back seven days later, and Zhao Yuexi was no longer seriously ill. But Banxia was exhausted, and she had to sleep for a whole day before she recovered.

Zhao Yuexi rested for half a month and finally appeared in the kindergarten. Although she looked skinny, she was in much better spirits.

Everyone hadn't seen her for a long time and was very enthusiastic towards her, which made her flattered and her temper seemed to have improved a lot.

Tang Xu looked at the door and felt relieved. When he returned to the office, he found that there was another person inside. "Sister Xiaoyu, you look much better."

Wang Xiaoyu stood up with a smile, her face full of gratitude, "It's been better recently." It's not really better, no one talks to her except the children, they almost ignore her. But no one dares to be harsh on her in terms of food and drink, she does her own things and plays with the children, it's much better than before.

Tang Xu poured her a glass of water and said, "Come to town to play today? Where are the children?"

"Thank you, but that's not the case," Wang Xiaoyu lowered her head and rubbed the cup in her hand, and asked, "I said before that I could come to you if I have something to do, but I don't know if it's still true?"

"What's the matter? Tell me." Tang Xu sat opposite her.

"There is a family in the village. Both the parents-in-law are gone, leaving only a family of three. The man in the family got involved in gambling and owed gambling debts. He wanted to sell his daughter to pay off the debts. The woman of that family cut her neck with a knife, and those people didn't want to cause any deaths, so they left temporarily. The woman of that family knelt down and begged in front of me, so I thought, come and ask, and if it doesn't work, forget it." Wang Xiaoyu raised her head and smiled, but there was a glimmer of expectation in her eyes.

I am still in the mud...

Tang Xu couldn't explain how he felt, but what he said at the beginning was not a joke. It's not easy to deal with gamblers. Outsiders are involved. After all, the money is owed. But why sell your daughter? Why not sell yourself? How many garbage things are there in this world?

Wang Xiaoyu saw that she was silent and knew that this matter made her feel awkward. She scolded herself for not knowing what was good for her. She was saved by someone, but she was not satisfied. "Ms. Tang, forget about making things difficult for her. We are not related to each other, so it is not my place to intervene."

Seeing her nervous and ashamed look, Tang Xu explained, "No, I was thinking about how to deal with this matter properly. His gambling debt is real, and I can't help him pay it back. The only thing I can do is take the mother and daughter away."

Wang Xiaoyu shook her head after hearing this. She had lived here for a few days and it felt like a dream. After talking to those women, she realized how many people Tang Xu had helped. "I can't let you raise him for nothing. You have so many children here. Forget it. I can't take care of this kind of person."

Tang Xu thought for a moment and said, "I'll go and see tomorrow. Do you want to stay here for one night or do you want to go back now?"

"I can't stay here anymore. I'm going back. My children are waiting for me at home." Wang Xiaoyu refused.

The next day, Tang Qingsheng drove the carriage with Tang Xu to Wang Xiaoyu's house. This time, the whole village was paying attention to her. As soon as the children saw her, they surrounded her, as if they were expecting something.

Tang Xu smiled and took out the sugar jar from behind him.

"Wow!" The children cheered, but they were afraid that their hopes would be dashed, so a little boy asked timidly, "Sister, do you have any candy?"

"First come, first served." Tang Xu shook the can, making a crackling sound. "Do you know how to line up? Stand behind each other, don't push or squeeze, and those who make trouble won't get any candy."

After hearing this, the children lined up almost harmoniously, and those at the back didn't dare to speak for fear of running out of candy.
