Although before seeing Mrs. Xie, Wen knew that she was seriously ill, just looking at the serving pearl and the haggard appearance of Mother He, they also knew that the three of them were in a bad situation, and Mrs. Xie, as a patient, was definitely not much better. But when she saw the person in person what he was looking like now, she couldn't help but shed tears sadly.

Xie Mulin and her brothers and sisters followed her, and they were also shocked when they saw Mrs. Xie's current appearance.

It's only been more than half a month, and Mrs. Xie "fled" out of Beijing, which is estimated to be ten days of hard work, and the whole person has become like this, how can people not be stunned?

Wen threw himself in front of Mrs. Xie's bed, and before she could open her mouth to call, tears kept falling, and she choked up and shouted out for a while: "Old lady......" Xie Xianzhi stood by the bed and couldn't help crying. Xie Hanzhi and Xie Yingfen, the two little ones, cried in a low voice with some fear.

Xie Jinzhi looked serious and asked Mrs. He in a low voice: "Haven't you invited a doctor in the past few days?" Just keep taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor? ”

Mrs. He replied with a sad face: "The old lady refuses to let me go into the county town to ask for a doctor...... There is a doctor in the nearby village who claims to be a doctor, who treats the villagers for some minor symptoms of cold and vomiting, and also treats bruises, but how dare I invite someone to prescribe a prescription for the old lady? The doctor in Changxing County prescribed medicine that made the old lady's condition improve......"

Xie Jinzhi closed his eyes, not knowing what to say. Even if that recipe used to be useful to the old lady, after so many days, the condition has changed, and the once good medicine may have become a poison that aggravates the condition, how can she continue to take it?

But Mrs. He's idea can't be said to be wrong, and the blame can only be blamed on Mrs. Xie's willfulness and stubbornness, because she can't save face, she refuses to invite a good doctor in the county town to come for diagnosis and treatment, so she dragged her condition to this extent.

If the Xie family arrived two days late, if Pearl failed to intercept them in Pingwang Town, waiting for Mrs. Xie, what would be the end?

Xie Mulin whispered to Xie Jinzhi: "Second brother, don't worry about it so much for now. The doctor we invited is still outside, so let's let someone come in and check the old lady's pulse. ”

Xie Jinzhi sighed, turned around and went out to ask for someone.

It was about that everyone was moving loudly, and Mrs. Xie was originally unconscious, but she also woke up faintly at this time. At first glance, Wen and Xie Xianzhi were crying in front of her bed, and she opened her mouth to scold: "What are you crying about? Howling?! I'm not dead yet! ”

Wen and Xie Xianzhi suddenly choked. The former choked up with tears and asked, "The old lady is awake?" We're late, and we've wronged your old man! ”

Mrs. Xie rolled her eyes: "It's good to know!" Why did you get here? I waited left and right, and I couldn't wait for anyone. If you don't come again, you'll have to collect my body!" When I saw it, how did you explain it to my son! ”

Don't look at Mrs. Xie's sick face, scolding people, she is still very unreasonable. It's just that now she speaks weakly, even if the scolding is still hard to hear, Wen will only feel sad, not aggrieved.

Xie Xianzhi was a little uneasy, and defended himself hesitantly: "After the ship arrived in Suzhou, it encountered a violent storm for several days, and the ship could not travel, so we had to stay in Suzhou for a few days. When the weather was better, we set off without delay. It's really ...... I didn't expect your old man to be waiting for us here. When I was in Suzhou before, my grandson also sent a letter to my family in Beijing to report my safety, and my eldest sister replied without saying that you were coming back......"

Where is Mrs. Xie a reasonable person: "So, this is still self-inflicted?" You left me here to fend for myself, right?! Don't make a fuss about your eldest sister, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't have fallen to this point! I'm half sick, she'll pretend she's fine! ”

Xie Xianzhi was stunned. Mrs. Xie is sick, what does it have to do with Xie Yinghui?

But Mrs. Xie gasped and coughed for a long time, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only stroke her back, and took a cup of warm water from Pearl's hand, wanting to feed her. But Mrs. Xie was still in her temper, and weakly pushed her eldest grandson's hand away.

Xie Xianzhi was a little at a loss. He had never received such a cold reception in front of his grandmother.

Wen didn't dare to say good things for him, so he could only persuade the old lady Xie softly: "I invited a doctor for you from Pingwang Town, and asked him to come and check your pulse, right?" Don't worry, he's not from Huyin County. ”

Old Lady Xie's face softened a little.

Xie Jinzhi, who had already brought the doctor in, invited someone to the bedside, and Wen stepped aside and motioned for his daughter to follow Wanqin's mother and daughter to avoid behind the bed tent. Because she still had to ask the doctor, she could only lower her head, and there was no way to avoid it.

The doctor is a little old and accustomed to seeing the world, even if he hears Mrs. Xie's words and sees the situation in this house, he is still very calm. He took Mrs. Xie's pulse, and asked Mrs. He and Pearl a lot of words, and when he knew it, he nodded to Xie Jinzhi.

Xie Jinzhi hurriedly invited him to speak outside.

Xie Mulin's heart moved, and he said loudly behind the tent: "Second brother, let the doctor talk here." The old lady must have wanted to know how her condition was. Don't let her know that if her old man thinks in private, it will be detrimental to her condition. ”

Mrs. Xie didn't believe the children and grandchildren in the house, she had a lot of ideas. Isn't it because she lacks trust in the people around her and refuses to communicate? Otherwise, Xie Yingrong's little tricks would have been worn a long time ago!

Xie Jinzhi understood what his sister meant, and looked at Wen and Xie Xianzhi with some hesitation. Xie Xianzhi nodded, but Wen was hesitating. The main reason is that seeing that Mrs. Xie's condition is not light, she is worried that the old lady will know her true condition, and she will become more and more afraid and worried, which is not conducive to recuperation.

Mrs. Xie spoke: "The second girl is right. What is there to hide from me in such a thing? Could it be that I'm not seriously ill, and you still want to coax me and make me think I'm dying?! ”

Yes, she said this kind of thing, can you still not let the doctor tell the truth in front of her?

So the doctor told the truth in front of Mrs. Xie.

In fact, he also saw that this patient today has an awkward temperament, is not willing to listen to people, and seems to have a bad relationship with his children and grandchildren. What is rare is that the juniors have filial piety, even if they are repeatedly angry with her, they are still obedient, which is rare. The doctor was not very kind to see a patient like Mrs. Xie, but he was willing to talk to her calmly in front of her filial children and grandchildren.

In fact, Mrs. Xie's condition has not reached the point of irreparability, mainly because the cold and flu have dragged on for a long time, and she is worried all day long, she can't eat or sleep well, and she is angry and vomits blood, which makes her seriously ill. Originally, this cold and flu was mostly cured in Changxing, and it could be cured after a few days of recuperation in the local area. But she didn't get well and hurried again, and she suffered a lot on the way, and her condition worsened, which made her body degraded to the point where she is now. Now her heart and lungs have been greatly affected, and a minor illness has become a major illness, and it is difficult to treat.

The doctor prescribed a prescription and instructed Mrs. Xie not to move easily, to recuperate, to try to be calm, and not to get excited and angry at every turn. Once she is excited, she may vomit blood again at any time. This blood vomits too much, and the damage to the body is even more serious, and it may be irreversible at some point.

However, the doctor also said that his medical skills are limited, and it is better to ask another famous doctor for diagnosis and treatment, for example, there is a famous doctor in Huyin County, whose medical skills are above him, and he is also very good at heart and lung diseases.

Old Mrs. Xie kept her face silent. Wen had no choice but to ask the two older boys to send the doctor out.

Xie Mulin gave Xie Jinzhi a look, the sister and brother went out of the house, and when the two brothers returned, they pulled them and discussed one thing: "What the third sister did, do we have to tell the truth to the old lady?" ”

The boys looked at each other.
