Chapter 23

Residents living in such places are mostly low-income people in the city.

Tian Xiaomiao’s home is naturally no exception. The furnishings in the home are all products of the last century.

Entering the house, Tian Xiaomiao said awkwardly: “Brother Qi, you do it first, and I’ll get you the money.”

With that, Tian Xiaomiao invited Qi Ming to sit down on the old-fashioned wooden sofa and quickly ran into the bedroom inside.

When she came out again, she had an extra envelope in her hand.

Tian Xiaomiao solemnly handed the envelope to Qi Ming, and said seriously: “Brother Qi, I paid a total of 4,500 yuan this month. I will leave 1,500 as my family’s living expenses, and the remaining 3,000 will be paid back to you. , I will pay you monthly installments.”

“Why are you doing this again.”

Qi Ming could see that Tian Xiaomiao’s home environment was very bad.

There is not a single piece of modern equipment in the house, not even the TV, which is the same kind of brains as decades ago.

“The money owed to someone should be returned. This is a natural principle.”

Tian Xiaomiao handed the envelope containing the money to Qi Ming, and went to the kitchen to prepare tea for him.

“Cough cough cough…”

At this moment, there was a violent cough in the bedroom.



Tian Xiaomiao ran into the bedroom in a panic, and said to the direction of the bed, “Dad, what’s wrong with you? I’ll get you medicine.”

“No…nothing, the sky has changed in the past few days, and I feel a little uncomfortable.”

Hearing the conversation inside, Qi Ming walked to the bedroom curiously and saw a middle-aged man with a frail face lying on the bed in the bedroom.

It is the third part of summer, the middle-aged man is covered with a thick quilt, and the windows in the house are tightly closed.

“Daughter, who is she?”

The middle-aged man asked curiously.

“Dad, he is Brother Qi who helped me out that day.”

“So you are that good person.”

The middle-aged man said gratefully: “Mr. Qi, thank you for helping Xiao Miao that day. I thank you.”

With that, the middle-aged man was struggling to get up, but he tried several times without success.

Tian Xiaomiao helped the middle-aged man tidy up the quilt, and said, “Dad, I have already thanked Brother Qi. You should rest first and I will get the medicine.”

“You young people talk, you talk.”

The middle-aged man said apologetically: “Mr. Qi, I’m so sorry. Look at my ill appearance. I can’t even apologize to you. Let Xiao Miao greet you for me.”

“Uncle Tian, ​​rest first.”

Qi Ming returned to the living room and saw Tian Xiaomiao taking out a few pills from under the cupboard and entering the house with water.

After the middle-aged man took it, Tian Xiaomiao gently closed the bedroom door and walked into the kitchen to start cooking.

“Xiao Miao, what’s wrong with Uncle?”

Qi Ming asked casually.

“Hey……”

Tian Xiaomiao stopped working, turned his head and said, “My father is not ill, but paralyzed.”

“How long has it been paralyzed?”

“Since that happened, Dad has been lying in bed immobile for eight years.”

While speaking, tears shed on Tian Xiaomiao’s face.

If it were not for the black-hearted mine owner, their family would not have become what they are now, let alone Tian Xiaomiao and his mother living in pain every day.

Eight years ago, Tian Xiaomiao’s family of three did not live here, but lived in the urban area, with a spacious three-bedroom and one living room.

Tian Xiaomiao’s mother is a teacher, and his father works as a safety officer in a mine.

Unforeseen circumstances, eight years ago, there was a mechanical failure underground.

Tian Xiaomiao’s father intended to let all the workers down and then send professional maintenance personnel into the mine for maintenance, but the mine boss refused to stop work.

In desperation, Tian Xiaomiao’s father had no choice but to enter the mine alone to repair the damaged machinery when the maintenance personnel were not here.

The danger occurred at that time. Not only was the machine not repaired, but it exploded, causing the entire mine to collapse.

Tian Xiaomiao’s father was buried under the mine, and when he was rescued, his whole body was severely fractured.

The mine owner knew that a disaster had happened and he had already escaped.

Later, Tian Xiaomiao’s father was sent to the hospital. Because he was trapped underneath for too long, coupled with severe fractures all over his body, he compressed the nerves and blood vessels in the body.

Although he recovered from the fracture, he was completely paralyzed.

The pillars of the family fell suddenly. In order to treat her husband, Tian Xiaomiao’s mother sold the house and quit her job. She spent several years traveling to major hospitals across the country, but she had little gain.

After listening to Tian Xiaomiao’s tragic experience, Qi Ming moved his heart and asked: “Since Western medicine can’t be cured, you haven’t thought of seeking Chinese medicine for help?”

“Why didn’t you look for them? They are worse than Western doctors.”

When it comes to Chinese medicine, Tian Xiaomiao is full of anger and said: “In the beginning, we were looking for Chinese medicine. Those old Chinese medicine doctors were more famous than the other, and the money was not less spent, but instead of getting better, his father has become more serious. If it weren’t for this, my mother would not sell the house and seek help from Western medicine. Although Western medicine could not cure his father, at least it did not make him worse.”

“It looks like you have met a quack doctor.”

Qi Ming knows that there are countless people in traditional Chinese medicine.

These people have a great reputation, but they don’t have much real skills. They only rely on publicity and marketing to create a layer of magical aura for themselves.

It is also because of this that more and more people do not trust Chinese medicine and go to the hospital for treatment by Western medicine if they are sick.

Even with headaches and brain fever, people will go to the hospital to get drips, hang bottles, and take antibiotics.

In addition, Chinese medicine is not accepted by everyone, and there is another important reason, that is, Chinese medicine treats diseases for a long time and has a root-removing effect.

Unlike Western medicine, which has quick results, it is difficult to treat the root cause, but only the symptoms.

“Xiao Miao, if you can trust me, I can help my uncle take a look, maybe let him walk again.”

“You can heal?”

Tian Xiaomiao suddenly froze, only knowing that Qi Ming is a good, warm-hearted man and very rich. He never knew that Qi Ming still knew medical skills.

Qi Ming nodded, patted his chest and said: “I dare not say that the medicine will cure the disease, but the general disease is in my hands and can be cured in minutes. This is already the case of Uncle, let me try it. It’s better than no hope at all.”

“Big Brother Qi thank you, thank you so much.”

Tian Xiaomiao hurriedly bowed to Qi Ming.

Qi Ming went to support Tian Xiaomiao and said with a smile: “What is the relationship between the two of us? You don’t have to be polite with me. I will go to see the doctor for uncle now.”

“Brother Qi, which hospital do you work in? I called my mother to come back, and prepare to drive my father there.”

“I’m not in the hospital, I am a lone Chinese medicine doctor.”

“Are you a Chinese medicine doctor?!”

In an instant, the smile on Tian Xiaomiao’s face disappeared, and tears flowed from her eyes.

Qi Ming was dizzy by the scene in front of him, and said, “Why are you crying again?”

Tian Xiaomiao choked up and said, “Brother Qi, you are actually joking about this kind of thing.”
