Chapter 2285 This Child Is Not Yours

In the evening, when Yang Xiaotao was leaving home after get off work and passed by Yang Youning's office, he heard the sound of a phone call coming from inside the room.

No need to guess, he must be busy with the affairs of the Nine Departments.

With such enthusiasm and work attitude, it would be a pity if he didn't make it to the ninth department.

Yang Xiaotao did not disturb them while they were working. He went straight downstairs and drove back to the courtyard.

As soon as the car stopped at the entrance of the alley, Yang Xiaotao saw many people greeting him.

At this time, every family is cooking, and the men who have nothing to do just chat and gossip together to kill time.

However, today, when everyone faced Yang Xiaotao, there was a hint of respect on their faces.

Apparently the workers in the yard brought the news of the Nine Departments back to the Siheyuan, and the Siheyuan's glory probably increased by three points.

When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Yan Fugui was chatting with a group of old men. When he saw Yang Xiaotao, he took the initiative to say hello.

Yang Xiaotao smiled and nodded, said a few polite words and then returned to the courtyard.

Seeing this, Yan Fugui looked very proud.

He even said to the people in the surrounding alleys, "Since the previous dynasty, there has never been such a great figure in the surrounding courtyards."

"Do you know why there was an incident in our hospital?"

An old man put his hands in his sleeves, bent over and asked, "Why?"

Yan Fugui raised his eyes, and then said in a ignorant manner, "Because the atmosphere in our hospital is good."

"All for One, and One for All"

"Look, he was a good student when he was young. He was able to go to high school. What does that mean? It means he has a good brain."

"Look at the children in our school now, all of them are excellent in their studies."

Yan Fugui said this proudly, and it was true.

Ever since Yang Xiaotao became a role model, people in the courtyard have paid more attention to the cultivation of their next generations.

Even the Jia family, in order to follow Yang Xiaotao's "old path", also sent Banggeng to school.

Unfortunately, this child has never been on the right path since he was young.

Even now, Qin Huairu still lets Xiaodang go to school.

With the presence of two teachers, Ran Qiuye and Yan Fugui, it would be strange if the learning atmosphere in the school was bad.

"Come on, Old Yan, everyone knows about the shit that happened in your courtyard back then."

An old man nearby started to reveal the truth, and everyone around him started laughing.

"Yes, let's talk about five or six years ago. In your hospital, haha, Old Yan, you were the third uncle at that time."

"That's right. Who would want to be slapped in the face in the rain?"

A group of old men didn't give Yan Fugui any face at all, and even brought up the embarrassing incident when they offended Yang Xiaotao in the past.

Yan Fugui blushed when he heard this, but that was the fact.

But that’s all in the past.

Originally, Yang Xiaotao's position as the chief designer of the Red Star Machinery Factory was something that no one in the institute could achieve. Now he is even more amazing, the boss of the Ninth Department. What kind of status is that?
To put it bluntly, if Yang Xiaotao is unhappy, no one in the entire alley dares to speak loudly.

It would be strange if he didn’t hug such a thick thigh tightly.

Even for the sake of your own children, you have to risk your reputation.

"These are all old things. Didn't Mr. Yang say that we should look forward?"

"Look ahead, understand?"

Everyone was reluctant to criticize Yan Fugui, even though they were envious of those who could live in this courtyard.

At this time, someone nearby glanced in the direction of the courtyard and said, "I saw Shazhu running back this morning. It seems that the child at home is sick. As an uncle, why don't you ask?"

When Yan Fugui heard someone talking about killing pigs, his face immediately turned bad.

This pile of stinky dog shit is so smelly that it stinks no matter who is next to it. He can't even hide from it now, so why would he rush to get close to it?

But who is Yan Fugui? He is a teacher who puts on airs. His expression remains unchanged as he immediately says, "This idiot Zhu is no longer from our school. He has nothing to do with us."

"Besides, this is someone else's private matter. If you really want to help, it's purely voluntary."

After Yan Fugui finished speaking, a thought flashed through his mind: what would happen if Sha Zhu really humbled himself and came to Yang Xiaotao for help?
When he thought of this, Yan Fugui's heart skipped a beat.

Based on his understanding of Yang Xiaotao, he definitely doesn't want to help.

Over the years, being able to tolerate the Jia family living in this courtyard has been very generous.

Normally, I don't even look at people like Shazhu and Qin Huairu.

But this is a matter of life and death
If this were done, Yang Xiaotao would definitely feel uncomfortable and unhappy.

But if he doesn't do it, it will get out that Yang Xiaotao is intolerant, which will be bad for his reputation.

Especially now.

Think about Ran Qiuye's kindness, especially since she is pregnant.
When Yan Fugui thought of this, he immediately came up with an idea.

This time, it's his turn to perform well.

Since you want to cling to Yang Xiaotao's thigh, you can't let him be "wronged".

The child is innocent, you can help.

But he, the old man, has to take the lead.

Helping is just to fulfill the kindness we have shown in the past.

It is our duty not to help, and don't even think about getting entangled or using the old moral blackmail.

This matter needs to be explained clearly to the people in the hospital. We must not lose the big picture because of small gains.

Middle Court.

When Yang Xiaotao returned home, Comrade Lao Jin was making a fire. The old Taoist came back in the afternoon and was now leading the children to talk to Tianzun.

The steel mill is carrying out maintenance on the boilers and the work is not busy.

With An Zhongsheng, Xu Ning and others starting to take over the work of United Star, he was also happy to have some free time.

Nothing to do, so I took the bus back.

After returning to the house, Yang Xiaotao greeted Comrade Lao Jin and prepared to talk about what happened today.

But I saw Ran Qiuye Cuiping, Liu Yuhua and several women in the yard chatting there.

"What's going on? Everyone seems to be in a bad mood."

Yang Xiaotao came up and looked at everyone.

Cui Ping heard this and said, "Today Shazhu from the yard came back and said that the child was sick. He was hospitalized and diagnosed with heart disease. It will cost a lot of money."

"No choice but to come back for help."

After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao remembered Sha Zhu whom he met in the morning. He looked very anxious.

"heart disease?"

Yang Xiaotao said doubtfully that this disease would be difficult to cure not only now but also in the future.

Especially when a child is sick,
"This stupid pillar is really pitiful."

Wang Dashan's family was sighing, and the three aunts next to them also nodded.

Even though they all don't get along with Shazhu, he's still a child after all, not even two years old.

Everyone present is a mother, so they are inevitably soft-hearted and easily put themselves in the role of the other party’s parents.

Yang Xiaotao also sighed after hearing this. As a father, the thing he hated most was seeing his children suffer.

When everyone saw Yang Xiaotao coming back, they stopped eating and went home to cook. Cuiping was also ready to go back, but Ran Qiuye kept her. Yu Zecheng was not at home again, and there was no one to talk to in the backyard, so he didn't need a pair of chopsticks if he stayed.

Cuiping was also a casual person, so she continued talking on the side.

Yang Xiaotao went to the kitchen to help, and when Ms. Cui saw him, she came back and started talking about things in the courtyard.

"That old lady in your courtyard is quite nice."

As Ms. Cui spoke, she told him what happened during the day.

After Sha Zhu arrived at the courtyard, he told the whole story to the aunt. The aunt was immediately moved by Sha Zhu's pitiful look.

But she didn't have much money, and the family's money was managed by Yi Zhonghai.

However, she also knew that the situation was urgent, so she took out all the money in the house and let Sha Zhu use it first, and then she would find a solution.

After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao just nodded silently.

But he also knew that this disease was difficult to cure, at least it was not something that an average family could afford.

Then a possibility came to my mind, and I couldn’t help but feel conflicted.

The Sixth Hospital.

At this moment, Sha Zhu and Shen Cuihua were standing at the door of the ward, looking at the doctor who was doing an examination in the ward with nervous expressions.

After a while, Li Qing walked out and took off his mask.

As a doctor and a mother, she feels heavy-hearted about the young children in the ward.

No one wants to face this situation.

"Doctor, how is my son?"

Sha Zhu asked nervously, while Shen Cuihua, who was standing beside him, had a dazed look in her eyes and was hugging the little pomegranate tightly in front of her.

"The patient's condition has been stabilized for the time being."

"However, this type of congenital heart disease is relatively serious, and we don't have any treatment options here."

Li Qing said helplessly.

After hearing this, Sha Zhu slammed his body back against the wall and sat on the ground in dejection.

Shen Cuihua, who was standing by, was even more heartbroken, with tears streaming down her face.

And deep in her heart, there was an extra touch of fear.

This is just like what the old people in the village talked about as retribution.

However, the retribution was not upon her, but upon her son.

"This child still needs conservative treatment. If he is lucky, he will grow up in the future, but he cannot do heavy work or stimulation."

Li Qing continued speaking, fulfilling his duties.

"Of course, if you can find a better doctor to help with the surgery, maybe the situation can be changed."

But she didn't believe what she said.

Unless you go abroad to find a foreign doctor.

But, this is simply impossible.

"By the way, you two should also get checked out. This congenital heart disease has a high chance of being passed down to your offspring."

Just as Li Qing was speaking, a nurse ran over and looked at Sha Zhu and Shen Cuihua with something strange in her eyes.

"Director, please take a look."

Li Qing was puzzled, then took the test report and his pupils shrank.

Previously, the child had cyanosis and rapid breathing and needed a blood transfusion to relieve his condition.

So the hospital took blood samples from the child's parents. After all, both parents are direct relatives, so it would be best if they were suitable.

After all, it costs money to supply blood to the hospital's blood bank.

But now.
Li Qing glanced at Sha Zhu. If the child was not taken away by mistake, then the child must be the mother's, but the father's might not be the case.

"Comrade He Yuzhu, come here for a moment."

Li Qing thought it over again and again and decided to tell the truth. Otherwise, the two of them would not know about it, and if something went wrong during the blood transfusion, she would not be able to take responsibility.

And she had no obligation to help conceal it.

Besides, this kind of "stealing men" behavior is seriously contrary to the current trend. Men will be paraded through the streets if caught, and women will also be criticized and educated.

Sha Zhu doesn't understand and is still in grief. He has been wandering for half his life and finally had his own child, but how come it turned out like this in the blink of an eye?
Seeing Li Qing walking aside, he stood up from the ground in a daze.

Shen Cuihua, who was standing by, suddenly felt a pang in her heart, but looking at Sha Zhu's back, she felt mixed emotions.

He looked down at the little pomegranate beside him, and his sadness grew even stronger.

"Comrade He Yuzhu."

When he reached the corner, Li Qing looked solemn.

"Here's our blood test report."

Shazhu still ignored him and had a dull look in his eyes.

"According to the report, you and Comrade Shen Cuihua both have type B blood, but your son has type A blood."

"I want to ask, didn't you take the wrong child?"

Li Qing asked seriously.

After hearing the last sentence, Sha Zhu finally came back to his senses, and then opened his mouth dryly, "You, what did you say?"

"Of course this is my child."

The next second, Sha Zhu's voice suddenly became louder.

Two security officers from the hospital came over and stood aside to prevent Sha Zhu from doing anything dangerous.

Li Qing shook his head, "If this report is correct, this child is not yours."

patter
After the words fell, Sha Zhu hadn't reacted yet, but Shen Cuihua, who had sneaked forward not far away, sat down on the ground with her face turning pale.

Sha Zhu fell into dementia again.

All of this, all of this, illustrates one fact.

The child is not his.

Then, the past scene emerged in my mind.

That night, he went home
Then he was caught.

Then there was divorce, that is.
"It's his, isn't it?"

The next second, Sha Zhu roared at Shen Cuihua and even wanted to go forward and punch her.

Fortunately, he was stopped by someone, but his crazy look made Shen Cuihua feel as if a light was extinguished.

"Dad, Dad."

Little Pomegranate suddenly ran over and hugged Sha Zhu, but was knocked away by Sha Zhu and fell to the ground, crying loudly.

Seeing this scene, Li Qing felt a little bit reluctant.

But morality told her that she did the right thing.
