“We were both injured in a fall. My older brother spent all our savings to pay for our treatment. Now there was another child in the family. My oldest uncle’s family was wary of brigade gossip, but after that, they accused us of spending money on an outsider while claiming we had no money to give them. After that, he often made trouble for us. We put up with it for a few years. I grew up, and Yuan Yuan became prettier and prettier. Oldest Uncle not only wanted to sell me, but he wanted to sell Yuan Yuan too.
“So my older brother brought us and fled.
“My older brother is still working. He doesn’t know what happened to us.”
Mo Beihan nodded. Everything was clear.
Mo Beihan glanced at the operating theater and asked, “What about this time? How did she get so badly injured?”
At that point, Chen Qingqing grew both indignant and angry. “Someone beat Yuan Yuan. During a quarrel, someone pushed her, and she hit her head on a rock.
“Our landlord has a precious son. They had six daughters before they had this son and everyone treats him like a little lord. He gets whatever he wants. He’s 18 years old. He…”
Chen Qingqing bowed her head. Her eyes reddened at the thought of the injustice she had suffered. “He took a fancy to me and insisted that I marry him. His mother despised me and wanted to get rid of us. But the man refused. He made a big fuss. Then he took a fancy to Yuan Yuan. Yuan Yuan is just too pretty, but she’s younger.”
“That bastard did not really have marriage in mind. He just wanted to have fun. He bullied us because we’re young girls from another region. Then he saw how pretty Yuan Yuan is and said he wanted to marry her. Yuan Yuan is 13 years old and is old enough to work, so she won’t be a useless mouth. He just has to support her for a few more years and she will have grown up. That bastard’s mother couldn’t refuse him anything, so she took Yuan Yuan away. We refused to allow it, so… you saw what happened.”
Mo Beihan understood the gist of the situation. He did not say anything else besides soothing Chen Qingqing.
Gu Qingyao only emerged from the operating theater three hours later.
“How is she?”
“Older Sister Gu, how is Yuan Yuan?”
Gu Qingyao looked at the two of them and smiled. “Don’t worry! She’s fine. She needs some time to recover. But she has sustained a head injury before, and there was a blood clot. I left it for now. When she has recovered from her forehead injury, I will find a way to treat it.”
Chen Qingqing sighed with relief when she heard that Zhong Bingyuan was fine. She had been so tense that the relief caused her to burst into tears.
“Thank you, Older Sister Gu. Thankfully, you were there.”
What would she do if she had not run into Gu Qingyao?
Even if she had gotten Zhong Bingyuan to the hospital, they had no money and could not pay for Yuan Yuan’s treatment.
The doctors that followed Gu Qingyao out looked at her rather strangely.
One of them looked at Gu Qingyao, his eyes shining. “Dr… Dr Gu, why haven’t we heard of you before? Which hospital do you work at?”
Gu Qingyao smiled slowly. “I don’t work. I’ve just returned after my studies.”
Dr Zhang’s eyes lit up. He was incredibly excited. “Then… come and work at our hospital! I’ll certainly ask the hospital director to give you the highest possible salary. Dr Gu, your medical skills are so outstanding. With you at the hospital, many more sick people can be saved in the future. You were incredible!”
The Mo family was very powerful. When Mo Beihan arranged for Gu Qingyao to conduct the operation, they had no choice, but he wondered who this Dr Gu was.. Dr Zhang was infuriated when she turned out to be a young girl.
