In my previous life, I had only seen children with Down syndrome on videos. This type of child has obvious facial features that can be seen just from their appearance.
Chromosomal diseases cannot be cured.
The child is now three or four years old. He cannot speak yet and his eyes are dull and lifeless. The condition is more serious than that of ordinary children with Down syndrome.
Qiao Wanyue was about to say that she couldn't treat this kind of disease, and that she was better at surgery. Before she could say anything, the child's mother suddenly asked: "Wanyue, can you treat his disease?"
Only then did Qiao Wanyue turn her eyes to the child's mother, a very delicate girl who looked to be only twenty-one or twelve years old. Qiao Wanyue thought she looked familiar, and a name suddenly popped into her head.
She blurted out: "Lanlan?"
"Wanyue, long time no see. You are getting more and more beautiful. I almost don't recognize you." When Xia Lan smiled, there was a shallow pear dimple on her face, and she looked gentle and kind.
Qiao Wanyue's eyebrows arched and she said crisply: "Yes, I haven't seen you for several years. Is this your son?"
Xia Lan was her childhood friend, and the two grew up together. Xia Lan got married when she was seventeen, and she was not even old enough to get married.
It is said that she went through a fraudulent marriage. The person who came for a blind date was her handsome cousin, but the person who got married and entered the bridal chamber was an ugly cousin who was in his thirties.
Xia Lan found out that she had been cheated into a marriage the next day. Xia's family went to her husband's house and made a big fuss. Later, her husband's family gave her an additional 30 yuan as a bride price, so Xia Lan's parents compromised and allowed her to live a good life.
Because of this matter, Xia Lan rarely returned to her parents' home after getting married. Communication was not convenient in this era, so the two lost contact.
The original person also heard that Xia Lan was a fool for giving birth to a child, but she didn't know what a child with Down syndrome was.
This was the first time Xia Lan met Qiao Wanyue after they got married.
Recalling Xia Lan's appearance in the original memory, it was very different from now. Xia Lan in the past was like a summer orchid, elegant and gentle, exuding an elegant orchid-like temperament, which made people feel very friendly.
Now Xia Lan is like a dark cloud, lifeless, and there is no light in her eyes.
Xia Lan nodded: "This is my son Kunkun, he is three and a half years old."
She smiled bitterly: "But he was sick since he was born. My husband's family asked me to throw the child away. I couldn't bear it. I heard that you are good at curing diseases, so I brought the child to have a look. Wanyue, can you cure him? "
Qiao Wanyue pursed her lips: "Sorry, I can't cure this disease."
Xia Lan's eyes were filled with sadness: "It doesn't matter, I've already guessed it. I went to the hospital for a checkup before, and the doctor said it can't be cured."
Xia Lan and Qiao Wanyue grew up together and knew each other very well. She knew how much Qiao Wanyue weighed.
When people said that Qiao Wanyue's treatment was very good, she didn't believe it. The reason why she came here was because she was in a hurry and sought medical treatment.
well! After all, she was overthinking.
Qiao Wanyue's eyes dimmed when she saw how young she was. Thinking that she was born a child and was her only good friend, she kindly reminded her, "Come to me for a checkup next time you get pregnant."
Xia Lan's first child was a child with Down's syndrome, and she might have another child, so she had to do a check-up to confirm.
The hospital cannot currently do Down syndrome screening, but the merit system can help.
Unexpectedly, when Xia Lan heard this, she looked weird and said: "I haven't been pregnant since I gave birth to Kun Kun. My husband threw Kun Kun away once before and I picked him up. Later, because I never got pregnant, , he didn’t continue to attack Kun Kun.”
Qiao Wanyue frowned and cursed angrily: "If you throw away your own flesh and blood, is this still a human being?"
She knew that there was nothing wrong with Xia Lan's health, but Qiao Wanyue still pretended to feel her pulse, and then said, "Let your husband check it out! There is nothing wrong with your health."
Xia Lan said in surprise: "Wanyue, could you have made a mistake in checking?"
Knowing Qiao Wanyue, Xia Lan was skeptical of her medical skills.
Seeing through her thoughts, Qiao Wanyue said bluntly: "It's true, you are in very good health. You don't need to question my medical skills. If I didn't have two brushes, there wouldn't be so many people coming to me for treatment."
Xia Lan was dubious. The child in her arms suddenly struggled and made strange noises.
Xia Lan stood up with the child in her arms, rocking and humming a little tune. The child quickly became quiet, and Xia Lan looked at Qiao Wanyue awkwardly.
"Wanyue, I'm going back first. I'll go back and discuss it with my husband. I'm not sure if he is willing to come over."
Qiao Wanyue stood up: "You go back and discuss it with him! I will be at home during this period. You can come over at any time. If you feel that it is not appropriate to come during the day, you can come over at night."
Men in this era are very chauvinistic and want to save face and suffer. They think male infertility is a very shameful thing and like to blame women for these mistakes.
That's why she reminded her like this.
Xia Lan nodded gratefully: "Wanyue, thank you, I will go back and persuade him."
Xia Lan was so small and thin that she couldn't even straighten her waist while holding a child.
"Lan Lan is a poor child. Her whole life has been ruined by her parents." Qiao Guangde walked out of the room, looked at Xia Lan's back, shook his head and sighed.
Qiao Wanyue asked casually: "Is her husband's family treating her badly?"
Before Qiao Guangde could speak, he sighed again: "Lan Lan has a hard life. Her man is more than ten years older than her, and he has a bad temper. He will do anything if he doesn't do anything right. Because of the child, her husband's family looks down on her. Before. There was a divorce in two years, and her parents didn’t allow her to come back.”
Qiao Wanyue frowned: "Are you really throwing your daughter away like water and leaving her alone?"
Xia Lan has six brothers and sisters in her family. She is the fifth eldest and the least favored one at home. In addition to her weak character, she is bullied and disliked by her parents' family, which makes her life very difficult.
Qiao Guangde shook his head, not knowing how to evaluate the Xia family's affairs.
Knowing Qiao Wanyue's previous relationship with Xia Lan, he said, "Daughter, if you can really help her cure her infertility, her life may be easier."
Apart from helping her cure her illness, as outsiders, they couldn't do anything else.
"She is in good health and there is no problem. It should be her man's problem." Qiao Wanyue said bluntly: "I think her man may not come to see her."
It can be seen from Xia Lan's expression just now that her man must have serious male chauvinism.
Qiao Guangde thought for a while, then suddenly said with a heavy expression: "Daughter, there is something I want to tell you about your life experience."
Qiao Wanyue probably guessed something, she blinked: "Dad, you didn't pick me up, right?"
Qiao Guangde took a deep breath, nodded and said: "You are right, I did pick you up."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he seemed to be relieved, and his whole body felt relaxed.
