Chapter 509 Sick and hospitalized
Just as everyone was lost in thought, the child's cry broke the silence. Gao Yuliang came to his senses and realized that his attitude just now was a bit excessive. He sighed and said, "Forget it, let's send the child to the hospital first." Qi Tongwei also nodded, "Okay, let's go to the hospital first." Liang Lu and Gao Xiaofeng quickly packed up and prepared to send the child to the hospital.
On the way to the hospital, everyone was silent. The atmosphere was still tense, but the anger in their hearts had gradually subsided. When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor examined the child and said that the fever was caused by a cold and that he needed intravenous treatment. Everyone was relieved.
While waiting for the child to receive an IV, Gao Yuliang took the initiative to walk up to Qi Tongwei and Liang Lu and said, "Tongwei, Liang Lu, I was wrong just now. I shouldn't have said that to you." Qi Tongwei was also a little embarrassed, "Teacher, I was also wrong. I shouldn't have been thinking about selling vegetables when the child was sick." Liang Lu wiped her tears and said, "We are all doing this for the good of the family. If there is anything in the future, we should discuss it properly and stop arguing." Gao Xiaofeng also said, "Yes, we must unite to live a good life."
In the hospital's infusion room, Gao Yuliang's apology did not ease the atmosphere as expected. Gao Yuliang was worried about his son's condition. He felt that it was unreasonable for Qi Tongwei to only think about selling vegetables at this time. Qi Tongwei also had his own difficulties. He believed that their career in the countryside should not stop because of a small matter.
Gao Yuliang looked at his weak son on the hospital bed, and his anger was ignited again. "Qi Tongwei, can't you put aside the vegetable business first? The child is so sick now, and you are still thinking about those benefits." Qi Tongwei frowned and responded, "Teacher, I am not ignoring the child, but our career is also very important. If we don't insist now, all the previous efforts will be in vain." Gao Yuliang became even angrier after hearing this, "Career, career, you only care about career, have you ever thought about the safety of the child?"
The two of them argued back and forth, and the argument became more and more intense, and their emotions gradually got out of control. Suddenly, Gao Yuliang raised his hand and slapped Qi Tongwei hard. Qi Tongwei was stunned by the slap, and after a moment, he returned the favor by slapping Gao Yuliang in the face. The two of them immediately wrestled together, accusing and cursing each other.
"You are a selfish person who only thinks about your own interests." Gao Yuliang roared.
"You are the stubborn one who doesn't know how to adapt." Qi Tongwei also responded loudly.
Liang Lu and Gao Xiaofeng were panicking and rushed forward to try to pull the two apart. Liang Lu cried and shouted, "Stop hitting me, what are you doing? The child is still sick." Gao Xiaofeng also said anxiously, "Why don't you just talk it out calmly? Why do you have to hit me?"
However, Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei could no longer listen to any advice. They continued to wrestle, as if to vent their dissatisfaction and anger. The other patients and their families in the infusion room were stunned by this scene and cast strange glances at them. Some family members of the patients tried to persuade them, but seeing how excited the two were, they did not dare to approach them easily.
At this time, several villagers who came to the hospital to buy vegetables passed by the infusion room and saw the chaotic scene inside. They couldn't believe their eyes. Several people who seemed to be in harmony on weekdays would actually fight each other. The villagers looked at each other with painful expressions on their faces. They didn't expect things to develop to this point, and their hearts were filled with regret and helplessness.
Seeing that the villagers were watching, Liang Lu felt even more ashamed and sad. She pulled Qi Tongwei hard and cried, "Tongwei, stop hitting us. Look at what we are like now. We are being laughed at by others." Qi Tongwei calmed down a little. He looked at Liang Lu with tears on her face and felt guilty. Gao Yuliang also stopped after Gao Xiaofeng's persuasion. He was panting, his eyes full of fatigue and regret.
Gao Xiaofeng looked at the two of them and said in a heavy tone: "It's not a solution for you to continue like this. The child is still sick. We should take good care of the child first, and we can deal with other things after the child gets better." Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei were silent. They realized that their behavior was indeed too impulsive.
Liang Lu wiped her tears, walked up to Gao Yuliang, and said softly, "Teacher Gao, we all hope that the child can get better soon. Now is not the time to quarrel. Let's think of a way together to make the child recover as soon as possible." Gao Yuliang looked at Liang Lu, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided. He nodded and said, "You are right. We can't go on like this."
Qi Tongwei also came over and said with his head down: "Teacher, I was wrong. I shouldn't have argued with you at this time. Let's take care of the child first." Gao Yuliang sighed and said: "Forget it, let the past be the past. Our top priority now is to make the child better."
The couple finally put aside their conflicts and began to take care of the child wholeheartedly. Liang Lu and Gao Xiaofeng stayed by the child's side, wiping the child's sweat and feeding him water from time to time. Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei went to the doctor to ask about the child's condition and learn about the treatment plan.
The doctor told them that although the child's condition was serious, as long as he received the infusion on time and rested, he would get better soon. Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei felt relieved. They returned to the infusion room and told Liang Lu and Gao Xiaofeng what the doctor said. Liang Lu held the child's hand tightly and said, "Baby, you must get better soon. We are all waiting for you." Gao Xiaofeng also comforted the child softly.
In the infusion room, everyone was relieved and took care of the child wholeheartedly. However, the tranquility was soon broken. The doctor in the next ward suddenly shouted: "There is a patient with ischemia who needs type A blood. It's urgent!"
Qi Tongwei and Gao Yuliang looked at each other when they heard the call. As former civil servants, their sense of responsibility was instantly ignited. Although they now live in the countryside, their spirit of serving the people has never been extinguished. Without any hesitation, the two of them immediately stood up and walked towards the doctor.
They came to the doctor and offered to donate blood. The doctor hurriedly tested their blood types, but the results were disappointing. Their blood types did not match the patient's. Just as the two were anxious, Gao Xiaofeng also rushed over. It turned out that she heard the doctor's call and thought that maybe she could help.
The doctor conducted a blood type test on Gao Xiaofeng and was pleasantly surprised to find that her blood type matched that of the patient.
