Adored Koi in the ’70s

Chapter 108

After speaking, Huo Chi turned and pointed to the car parked not far away. He told the woman, "That's our car. If you believe us, we can take you to the hospital right now."

Zhang Yue Ming looked in the direction he pointed and excitedly nodded: "Thank you! Thank you!"

There were still good people in this world. Just now, when she was repeatedly rejected by others, she almost despaired!

Thinking of this, she gratefully bowed to Da Qiao and Huo Chi in a series.

Da Qiao told her she's welcome. Then she and Huo Chi quickly lead her to the car.

After getting into the car, Huo Chi instructed the driver to go to the nearest hospital as quickly as possible.

When they got to the hospital, Da Qiao and Huo Chi didn't leave immediately. Instead, they went in with the woman.

Huo Chi felt that Da Qiao's attitude towards the woman was a little strange. Still, he didn't care too much. She could help him when he was a wicked one, then she can also help others now.

In his heart, she was like a little angel.

At the sight of blood flowing non-stop from the child's nose, the hospital didn't dare to delay. They rushed to help the child stop the bleeding.

Although the child, Xiao Yu, was only four or five years old, he didn't cry or make trouble all the way here. He was so well-behaved that it made people feel distressed.

Da Qiao looked at him and couldn't help thinking of the twin brothers at home.

The twins were fair and tender. From a distance, they looked like two huge dumplings. While the poor little one in front of them was thin as a stick. Because of the thinness, it highlighted how big his head was. He was like a squished donkey rolling around.

At the thought of the dumplings and donkeys rolling around, she couldn't resist swallowing; feeling a little guilty in her heart.

How could she still think about what to eat at such a time?

Huo Chi took in how her pink lip curled and swallowed hard. He asked her in a low voice, "Are you hungry?"

Da Qiao's big watery eyes blinked and she blushed: "I'm not hungry."

It was only an hour since she ate and she had ate a lot during lunch. How could she be hungry? She just had some craving from the thought of food.

Really, only a little bit.

Huo Chi raised his eyebrows in disbelief: "Why do you keep gulping if you're hungry? Could it be that you're thirsty?"

Da Qiao's face turned redder and her cheeks were pink and tender: "I'm not thirsty either."

Seeing her guilty conscience, Huo Chi couldn't figure it out at first. Then suddenly hit him; when she was in the car, she kept holding and eating snacks. He felt like he had guessed the truth.

He leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Starting tomorrow, I'll take you to eat all kinds of snacks in the capital."

When Da Qiao heard the mention of food, she couldn't help swallowing again. Her eyes were bright: "Are those snacks delicious?"

Huo Chi thought for a while and replied, "It should be pretty good. I've only heard of some, but haven't eaten it yet."

When he wanted to send a letter to her to come to the capital, he inquired about all kinds of authentic snacks in the capital. He planned to take her around to eat when she come.

Da Qiao pursed her lips and grinned. Her sweet voice spoke: "Elder Brother Huo Chi, you are so nice to me!"

Huo Chi's gaze fell on her crescent-like eyes and he raised his eyebrows: "You only found out today?"

Da Qiao shook her head: "Of course not, I always knew that Elder Brother Huo Chi is very nice to me!"

When Huo Family were wicked ones and their life wasn't easy, he still always found a way to go into the woods and find all kinds of food for her.

The corners of Huo Chi's mouth curved up. He reached out and rubbed her hair, "Then you have to remember it in the future!" #I am the one who treats you best.

Da Qiao nodded like a pecking chicks and promised, "I will remember!"

She looked like an obedient little baby. So cute that people can't help but want to bully her. But how could he possibly bear to bully her?

He can bully everyone in this world, just not her.

At Xiao Yu's side, the bleeding finally stopped. It may be due to malnutrition from the past and the current excessive blood loss, his small face looked very pale, which made his eyes looked bigger. The appearance made people's heart distressed.

The doctor walked to one side and asked Zhang Yue Ming whether this happened for the first time or often. And whether he bumped his nose or picked his nose with his hands before the nosebleed.

Zhang Yue Ming answered with a pale face: "The child didn't pick his nose with his hands. Nor did he didn't get injured. This happened to him a few times before. However, in the past, the bleeding stopped quickly and wasn't that much."

The doctor said with a stern face, "So you didn't take it seriously as parents. You've never brought your child over for a checkup, have you?"

Zhang Yue Ming pursed her lips tightly without answering. Her hands clasped together.

It wasn't that she didn't want to bring the child here, but that their family was locked up on the farm before. No matter how much she begged, they wouldn't find a doctor for them. Nor would they let them leave the farm for half a step!

Their family was vindicated and returned to the capital last month. However, their life didn't get better because of this. Her husband's body had long been ruined on the farm, but he had been holding on until now. Now that they were suddenly vindicated, he relaxed and immediately fell ill.

They hadn't saved any money either. In order to treat her husband's illness, she had begged everyone she could. Now she owed a whole body of debt.

She took care of her husband, do housework, and go to other people's homes to be nanny during the day. It went without saying she given less time and thoughts for her child.

Today the child was a little uncomfortable, so she took him with her to work at the employer's house. The employer asked her to go to the department store to buy something. Unexpectedly, the child started to have nosebleeds as soon as she entered the department store.

At first, she didn't take it seriously, thinking that it would stop soon like before. Unexpectedly, the nosebleed kept flowing. She panicked!

Fortunately, the two teens helped her. If not, she couldn't imagine the consequences.

The doctor took in her dress and appearance and guessed that her financial situation wasn't very good.

His tone eased down a little: "The child's condition isn't great. If you think of your child's wellbeing, hurry up and do a comprehensive examination!"

Zhang Yue Ming's face became even paler: "Doctor, my son...what's the disease?"

The doctor frowned and responded: "There are many reasons for nose bleeding. It may be inflammation. It may be too heat in lung. And of course it may be blood disease, or a tumor."

Blood diseases were like leukemia. The so-called tumor was the tumor of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses.

Putting aside the fact that they have no money, even if they have money, these two diseases were difficult to treat with the current medical level and facilities!

Zhang Yue Ming swayed when she heard the end.

Seeing this, Da Qiao quickly stepped forward to support her: "Auntie Ming, are you alright?"

Seeing her like this, the doctor also sympathized with her. But there were too many poor people in the world. It was useless for him to sympathize: "Hurry up and make a decision!"

After saying that, he turned and walked away.

Zhang Yue Ming covered her face and silently sobbed.

Tears flowed down her palms, dripped onto the ground, and quickly dissipated.

"Auntie Ming, don't cry." Da Qiao felt a little sad when she saw how sorrowfully she was crying.

But Zhang Yue Ming felt too depressed. Her father-in-law and her mother-in-law died on the farm two years ago. Now her husband was ill. If her son was also ill, she was afraid that she will not be able to survive!

And her maternal family couldn't help her the slightest. Instead, they added to the trouble. Her youngest brother's family occupied their house for ten years. Now they came back and they didn't want to return it to them!

Her family consisted of sick and young. And she, a lone woman, can't compete with them at all. Now their family lived in a dilapidated house that was less than ten square meters. The house could collapse any day!

Xiao Yu ran out of the ward. His eyes stared at her as he urged in his baby voice, "Mom, don't cry. Xiao Yu doesn't hurt."

Zhang Yue Ming came to her senses when she heard her son's voice.

She raised her head and hugged her son's small body. Forcing back her tears, she spoke "Mom wasn't crying. Just my eyes hurt a little."

Xiao Yu struggled out of his mom's arms: "Then Xiao Yu will blow for Mom."

"Okay." With red eyes, Zhang Yue Ming let the child blow. Then she stood up and thanked Da Qiao and Huo Chi, "Thank you! Where do you live? I will send you the money for medical treatment later!"

Da Qiao frowned and replied, "Auntie Ming, don't you want Xiao Yu to do an examination?"

Zhang Yue Ming embarrassedly spoke, "I'll bring him back for an examination when I have time."

It wasn't that she didn't care about her son. She really can't come up with the money!

She had to find a way to find another job Once, she gather enough money, she will bring her son over for an examination. Just hope it won't be too late by then.

Seeing her embarrassed state, Da Qiao softly said, "Auntie Ming, if you are worried about money, we can lend it to you first. The doctor had said Xiao Yu's illness cannot be delayed!"

Zhang Yue Ming tightly grabbed Da Qiao's hand. Her eyes flushed with agitation: "Thank you! Thank you! Xiao Yu, come over and thank elder sister!"

She didn't know why the little girl in front of her was willing to help her. Maybe the Buddha saw that her life was too hard. So he sent such a kind girl over to save her!

Xiao Yu raised his big head and obediently uttered, "Beautiful Elder Sister, thank you!"

Da Qiao rubbed his head and said in a soft voice, "No need to thank me. Xiao Yu is a good boy!"

Xiao Yu smiled shyly.

Then Huo Chi gave Zhang Yue Ming the money to pay. After paying the money, the doctor quickly arranged for Xiao Yu to have an examination. The examination report wouldn't come out until two days later.

Da Qiao offered to send them home.

Zhang Yue Ming originally wanted to refuse, but she had been out for a long time and the hospital was far away from the employer's home. If she didn't go back quickly, this job might be lost!

As the saying goes; more lice the bite won't lessen, more debts worry won't lessen. Since she had already troubled this little girl so much, then she can trouble the little girl one more time.

Earlier when they came to the hospital by car, Xiao Yu stayed in his mom's arms and didn't speak because he was bleeding. Now he was a little better. As soon as he got in the car, he opened his mouth wide in shock.

His little head twisted and turned, looking here and there, but he didn't touch anywhere. He obediently huddled in his mom's arms, for fear that the blood on his body would stain the car.

Zhang Yue Ming was also a little embarrassed. She was either thanking them or repeatedly promising to return the money to them as soon as possible.

In order to ease their tension, Da Qiao quickly brought out snacks for them to eat.

Zhang Yue Ming didn't want it, while Xiao Yu stared at the snacks. But seeing that his mom refused, he quickly shook his head and said no.

Seeing how obedient he was, Da Qiao felt distressed. She stuffed the biscuits and candies into his hands and pockets: "Elder Sister invited you to eat. If you don't eat it, Elder Sister will be sad!"

Xiao Yu waved his small hand and said: "Elder Sister, don't be sad. Xiao Yu will eat. Xiao Yu will eat now."

Zhang Yue Ming gratefully looked at Da Qiao. She knew that she said this to relieve them of their psychological burden: "Thank you!"

She had said thanks no less than a hundred times, but now she really can't give anything other than thanks.

"Auntie Ming, don't be polite. When I look at Xiao Yu, I think of my younger brothers at home. I always have the feeling of closeness." When Da Qiao said this, her eyes swept across the other's face. "By the way, Auntie Ming, you and Xiao Yu are from the capital?"

Zhang Yue Ming nodded: "Yes, we are locals in the capital."

When Da Qiao heard this, she was slightly disappointed.

Xiao Yu munched the biscuits in small bites like a cute little squirrel. Suddenly he stopped and called, "Mom, my back is itchy."

In response, Zhang Yue Ming hurriedly scratched it for him. After a few scratches, he still felt itchy. She had to pull up the child's clothes to see what was wrong with his back.

As soon as the clothes were pulled up, Da Qiao looked over and saw a red birthmark half the size of a palm on Xiao Yu's back. The birthmark had a very special shape, like an upside-down peach.

Da Qiao stared at the birthmark and was stunned.

Zhang Yue Ming pulled up his clothes and only realized then that her son had been bitten by some mosquito on his back and a large bump appeared. She carefully scratched her son a few times and coaxed him that they'll go back and smear something on.

Though Xiao Yu found the itch unbearable, he still obeyed.

Zhang Yue looked up and noticed Da Qiao staring blankly at the birthmark on her son's back. She smiled: "This child is like me. He had such a birthmark on his back as soon as he was born."

When Da Qiao heard this, she was shocked: "Auntie Ming, do you mean that you also have such a birthmark on your back?"

Zhang Yue Ming just thought she was curious and nodded with a smile: "Yes, the shape, size, and even the location are exactly the same as Xiao Yu's birthmark."

Xiao Yu interjected in his low voice: "Dad said that with this birthmark, even if I go missing, they can recognize me."

Da Qiao grasped her skirt in excitement: "Auntie Ming, you...are you really locals of the capital? I mean, do you have any relatives from Yunlai Town?"

Zhang Yue Ming was stunned for a moment and answered, "We are from the capital. Xiao Yu's dad and my parents' ancestors lived in the capital."

When Da Qiao heard this, she was disappointed again.

Who knew the next moment, she heard Zhang Yue Ming added: "But my grandma's house is in Baocheng County. Baocheng is too far from the capital. I have never been there since I can remember."

Da Qiao's hand trembled slightly. Her face flushed red with excitement: "Auntie Ming, do you mean your grandma's family is from Baocheng?"

Zhang Yue Ming didn't understand why she was so excited: "Yes, you... should you be from Baocheng County too?"

Da Qiao shook her head: "We are in Yunlai Town. Yunlai Town is under the jurisdiction of Baocheng County."

"Never thought that we're somewhat from the hometown!"

Zhang Yue Ming wasn't from Baocheng County and didn't know much about the town over there. Now she heard Da Qiao's explanation, she understood.

However, she was still a little confused. Her accent was an authentic capital accent. Why did this little girl suddenly ask about Baocheng County?

Was it because she looked like someone from Baocheng County?

Thinking of this, she wasn't surprised.

She was the eldest in the family and had four younger brothers. She didn't look like her younger brothers though. Nor did she look like her dad. Her mom said she looked like her grandma's side.

Da Qiao still wanted to continue, but the car had already arrived outside Zhang Yue Ming's employer's house. She hurriedly got out of the car with Xiao Yu in her arms and promised again that when she had raised enough money, she would definitely send the money to Huo's house.

After Zhang Yue Ming disappeared, Huo Chi came from the front seat to the back seat. He flicked her on the forehead and spoke, "Can you tell me now?"

He didn't find it strange that Da Qiao extended a helping hand before. This time, she was a little too enthusiastic. Just now, she kept asking where the other party was from. This seem a little strange.

Da Qiao rubbed her forehead and uttered with pressed lips, "Elder Brother Huo Chi, you hurt me!"

Huo Chi took a closer look. Sure enough, her forehead was red. In his eyes, up set flashed by: "Does it really hurt? How about... going to the hospital?"

Seeing how nervous he looked, Da Qiao responded with a sullen smile, "It's not necessary to go to the hospital. However, I'm want to hit back!"

Huo Chi saw her mischievous face. Only then, he knew that he had been tricked.

He didn't get angry though. Instead, he put his forehead forward and said, "Hit then. If not, you'll go back and tattle to my mom. Then I'll be really miserable!"

Da Qiao angrily harrumphed: "I don't tattle. I'm not a child!"

As she said that, she arched her fingers and flicked toward his forehead!

The next moment, Huo Chi took a sharp breath in!

How could this little girl looked pitiful, like a little white flower, be so strong?

Da Qiao saw that his forehead was red and swollen and immediately regretted it: "Elder Brother Huo Chi, does it hurt? Should I blow it for you?"

Huo Chi wanted to say no, but when he saw her pouting her pink lips and leaning in, he almost nodded his head, "Okay."

Da Qiao leaned over and blew twice on his forehead.

The cool breath fell on the skin of his forehead. Suddenly, Huo Chi trembled uncontrollably as his ears instantly turned red.

In order not to let Da Qiao realize that he was "shy", he coughed and pulled the topic back, "Then can you talk now?"

Da Qiao leaned over and whispered, "Elder Brother Huo Chi, do you still remember my swapped away fourth aunt?"

Huo Chi paused for a moment and then recalled what happened a long time ago: "Do you suspect that she's the real fourth aunt?"

The matter of Qiao Hong Mei not being part of Qiao Family was stirred up so much the whole production team knew about it back then. Huo Chi hadn't faked his death and went to the army at that time. So he naturally knew about it.

But he didn't know the details.

Da Qiao nodded: "Don't you think Auntie Ming and my third aunt look a bit similar?"

Huo Chi thought for a moment. Frowning, he answered: "Now that you said that, they're do. But it's not unusual for people to have similarities. How can you be sure that she is your fourth aunt? Could it be to with with the birthmark just now?"

"Elder Brother Huo Chi is so smart. It is the birthmark!" Wide eyes, Da Qiao praised.

And she explained about the birthmark. Toward the end, she said, "As soon as I saw Auntie Ming, I felt some kind of inexplicably closeness. Later at the hospital, the more I looked at her, the more I thought she looked like my third aunt. Afterward, I find out she also has a birthmark and her grandma is from Baocheng County. With so many coincidences, can I not suspect that she is my fourth aunt?"

She had a very fresh grassy smell on her body. That wasn't the smell of soap. He had discovered it when he was in the production team when he was a child.

It was just that he didn't pay much attention to it at that time as he assumed that it was the smell of grass from when she was picking wild vegetables on the mountain. Now, he found out that it wasn't.

That was her unique smell that no one else had.

"Elder Brother Huo Chi, why aren't you speaking?" Seeing him appeared blanked, Da Qiao shook her hand in front of him.

Huo Chi's ears turned red again and coughed, "I... I'm thinking about the possibility of this."

Da Qiao looked at him with big moist eyes and nervously asked: "So? Do you think she is my fourth aunt?"

Huo Chi became more and more conscious from her stare: "I think your suspicion is very reasonable. But this matter can't handled recklessly. I think we'd better investigate it before reaching a conclusion."

Da Qiao nodded her head: "En, Elder Brother Huo Chi, you are right. Without investigation, there is no right to speak. But how should we investigate this matter?"

Huo Chi's mouth corner twitched: "Let's start with her maternal family! Since her grandma is from Baocheng County, there are traces to check. Don't worry about this matter. I will tell Grandfather when I go back. Grandfather will find someone to help investigate. "

Da Qiao's smile bloomed and remarked, "Elder Brother Huo Chi, it's great to have you here!"

The corners of Huo Chi's mouth rose up and the tips of his ears turned redder.
