Chapter 118 - Death
Chapter 118 - Death
The matter of Zheng Chong's family made the people who work in the afternoon discuss for a while, but that had nothing to do with Xiao Qingrong. Even if he knew medical skills, he could not save the other party. Xiao Qingrong was studying Western medicine, and he did not know much about Chinese medicine. In this environment, even if the medicine was prescribed, the child would most likely cannot take the medicine.
In the 1970s, although the popularity of Western medicine had risen, it was not so easy to get medicines. If one wants to get medicine, one needs to go through a lot of processes.
Of course, some small black clinics had medicines, but it wasn't clear whether the medicines were effective. Anyway, it is not their responsibility if anyone dies from using medicine from black clinics.
In the afternoon, they started to work again and they finally earned today's labor points. When they finally got back, Xiao Qingrong and other educated youths were extremely tired and did not have much strength to do anything else.
Ding Xuanxuan also wanted to talk to Xiao Qingrong but after seeing his reactions, she soon gave up.
Early the next morning, all the educated youths went to the ground to prepare for work. However, they did not meet Zheng Chong. Before anyone asked, they heard the villagers talking. It turned out the villagers had a meeting last night on how to deal with the educated youths.
Zheng Chong went to the city but because the child was sent to the hospital too late, he was not able to get a cure. Zheng Chong couldn't take it and was depressed. It was naturally impossible for him to work at home at this time.
Hearing this news, Ding Xuanxuan, also felt a little 'sigh'. In this era, even if one was sick, there was no medicine to treat it. Of course, there were many cases like this. After the child was sick, the parents thought that they would be fine so they didn't bother to send the child to see a doctor, resulting in the death of the child. When they saw how Zheng Chongs child was, they knew that even if he made it to the hospital, the chance of survival was slim.
Suddenly, Ding Xuanxuan remembered her parents in the modern world. At that time, she was young. As long as she had a little pain, she would be immediately sent to the children's hospital for treatment by her parents. At that time, she was also around the same age as Zheng Chong's child and fortunately, she was able to live until her teens.
Things like life are also the least valuable in this era.
Xiao Qingrong also heard about this, but it had nothing to do with him. The world was impermanent and his life was the same. He heard that the child's grandmother delayed his treatment, which resulted in him being almost dead when he arrived at the hospital. This was life.
Just how many people were killed due to ignorance? The progress of the times gives people more than just scientific progress. In a certain direction, actually, the progress of thought is more important.
Zheng Jiaojiao, who was visiting her grandmother at her grandma's house, didn't know about it. She took her family's things to visit her grandma yesterday afternoon. By the way, she wanted to learn embroidery from her grandma. It was also when her grandmother passed away that she knew that her grandma actually had a good skill in embroidery. Those embroidery things that she secretly hid during her lifetime were worth a lot of money after being sold, so Zheng Jiaojiao hoped to learn her grandma's skills.
In the book Rebirth, Zheng Jiaojiao was very much loved by her grandmother, so she easily won this opportunity and began to learn embroidery with her grandmother. Later, when she arrived in the city, she met foreigners and made embroidery. It was sold to foreigners and she earned a lot. After that, she opened a clothing store and made a lot of money. Later, she also opened a high-end clothing customization company specializing in embroidery. These were the achievements after Zheng Jiaojiao's rebirth.
Jiaojiao, learning embroidery isn't easy. Do you really want to learn?
Knowing that her granddaughter was so coquettish, of course Zheng Jiaojiao's grandmother had to ask a lot.
Zheng Jiaojiao nodded and smiled.
Grandma, I really like embroidery. I have never seen you do it before but the moment I saw you make an embroidery, I really want to learn it. Can you teach me~
Zheng Jiaojiao was coquettish. She was very much loved in the Zheng family. She usually didn't touch anything dirty with her fingers, so she looked white and tender, not like a girl from a village.
Well ok, but don't stop halfway.
Zheng Jiaojiao's grandmother saw that her granddaughter liked this. How could she disagree? Of course she agreed to teach Zheng Jiaojiao.
Zheng Jiaojiao, who successfully got her grandmother to agree was happy. She knew that this embroidery should be more valuable in the future. As long as she learned this embroidery, she would not have to worry about money in the future... She felt even more joy as she thought about it.
After spending more than a day with her grandmother, Zheng Jiaojiao decided to go home. Before going to her grandmother's house, she told her mother that she was going to learn embroidery with her grandmother.
As soon as she got home, she found that something was wrong at home. Mom and her sister-in-law were both sad.
Mom, what's wrong? Has anything happened at home?
When mother Zheng heard her daughter's voice, her eyes were red and she held her daughter's hand.
Jiaojiao, your cousin is gone. You are the best at talking. Please comfort your aunt. She has been crying for a while....
After all, mother Zheng was also a mother and she knew how much pain a child's death would bring to a family, so mother Zheng wanted her daughter to comfort Zheng Chong's wife.
Just when Zheng Jiaojiao heard these words, what happened in her life suddenly flashed in her mind. Actually, she didn't like Xiao Qingrong for no reason. In addition to Xiao Qingrong's good-looking face, it was because Xiao Qingrong had come up with special medicines. He saved her cousin, and it was then that Zheng Jiaojiao felt that Xiao Qingrong was a person worthy of trust for life, because he had a kind heart.
But in this life... how could this happen?
Obviously her cousin didn't live at all...
Did her rebirth affect his fate?
Zheng Jiaojiao was pale, thinking of her previous embroidery, and she completely forgot about her cousin's affairs. If only she told her family in advance that her cousin's illness was very serious, her mother would treat it early and this wouldn't have happened.
As she was thinking, the face of Xiao Qingrong appeared involuntarily in her mind. Why? Why is this man so cruel, watching a one-year-old child die in front of him!
Thinking of this, Zheng Jiaojiao hated it!
Jiaojiao, are you okay? Mother Zheng saw Zheng Jiaojiao's mood was wrong, so she calmed down, and Zheng Jiaojiao recovered her condition at this time, showing a pale smile to her mother.
Mom, I was suddenly scared by the news. I will go see aunt now. I didn't expect such a thing to happen.
When Zheng Jiaojiao finished speaking, she went to Zheng Chong's house. When she came over, Zheng Chong was smoking in a sulking mood. His child's death caused him a great blow. He did not expect that the child would actually die.
Going in, Zheng Chong's wife was sitting there as if she was dead. Next to her, there was a small wooden box, which was a box containing her cousin's body. The child was immature and could not be buried in the ancestral grave after death. Yes, their Zheng family was a family with an ancestral tomb, but the child has not been buried yet. The most important reason was that Zheng Chong's wife had to bury the child in the ancestral tomb, but her mother in law refused to let her. It's Zheng Jiaojiao's other grandma.
Speaking of which, her cousin's death was also related to Zheng Jiaojiao's grandmother. Her cousin was sick but her grandmother who lived in Zheng Chong's house said that the child was okay, and he had a common fever. As a result, the next day, when Zheng Chong's wife and Zheng Chong arrived at the hospital, the child was affected by pneumonia. According to the current medical level, such a small child cannot be cured at all. Moreover, the hospital didn't have this medicine for children. In the end, Zheng Chong and his wife could only watch their son die.
This kind of thing can be said to be a huge blow to the couple.
Aunt... Zheng Jiaojiao called Zheng Chong's wife, but the other side ignored her completely, staring at the small box in front of her eyes dully, but her tears kept falling. Such a sad look made Zheng Jiaojiao's eyes turn red, and she couldn't help crying, thinking that her cousin would be so cute when he grew up. Zheng Jiaojiao couldn't accept the death of this child.
It was almost instinctual, Zheng Jiaojiao rushed out, she was going to find Xiao Qingrong, she was going to ask Xiao Qingrong, why would he watch a child die! Obviously there was medicine, why? Why not take it out?
Thinking of this, she rushed to the house where the educated youths were with red eyes. All the educated youths were eating right now. Seeing a pretty girl rushing over, all of them stopped.
Xiao Qingrong!!!
She stared fiercely at Xiao Qingrong, as if she was going to swallow the other side whole. She was full of hatred. When she thought of her cousin's death, she could not wait to strangle the person in front of her.
Xiao Qingrong was eating. At this time, he raised his head when he heard the voice, and looked indifferently at the woman in front of him. He had recognized that this woman was the one who peeked at him, but... he didn't know her.
Ding Xuanxuan was also stunned. She didn't expect the heroine to come here suddenly. According to her memory, there was no such scene in the book.
Xiao Qingrong looked indifferently at the person in front of him, and continued to bow down to eat again. Xiao Qingrong never wastes his time for strangers.
However, the more she saw Xiao Qingrong like this, the more Zheng Jiaojiao couldn't bear it. When she thought of a good kid like her cousin dying because of Xiao Qingrong, she couldn't control the hatred of the person in front of her. She ran directly to Xiao Qingrong's table and grabbed his food, and threw it on the ground, which scared everyone.
Xiao Qingrong! How can you be such a cruel person! Why did you let him die?!
