Chapter 259 Misunderstanding
He Yanqing brought his wife and daughter to the hotel. When the hotel waiter saw the couple coming in with the child, looking tired, he put the melon seeds in his hand on the table without any change in expression and spit out the shells.
"stay?"
"Well, let's get a better room." He Yanqing handed Chu Chu to Chunni.
"Do you have a letter of introduction?" asked the waiter.
"I came in a hurry and didn't have time to get a letter of introduction. Can I use my ID card?"
The waiter looked at He Yanqing and his wife carefully. They were well-dressed and the baby in their arms was cute and white, but its face was red, as if it was sick. Their hotel was near the hospital, so they didn't receive too many family members of patients. But why did the baby keep sleeping? Was there something wrong?
The waiter's brain raced and he instantly came up with an idea.
“An ID card is also acceptable.”
He Yanqing rummaged through her bag for a while before handing the couple's ID cards to the waiter.
The waiter registered them and took Chunni and the other two upstairs.
"Look, this is the room. If you need anything, you can find me downstairs." After giving instructions, the waiter shook his sleeves, turned around and went downstairs.
He Yanqing didn't mind. After entering the room, he carefully locked the door.
Chunni hurriedly put Chuchu on the bed and put a towel on her forehead.
"Yan Qing, there's no water in the kettle, go and get some." This kettle was left behind by Xia Zhi when he went home to visit his relatives.
"Okay! You be careful." He Yanqing went downstairs to get water.
There was a thermos at the front desk, and He Yanqing took one directly back to the room.
The couple went about their business silently without speaking.
After a long while, Chunni took the initiative to speak: "Chu Chu, you can't do this. I'm afraid you'll get burned." Medical technology is not very advanced nowadays, and it is not uncommon for fever to cause deafness, dumbness, or brain damage.
Chunni's worries are not without reason.
He Yanqing lowered his head. He had never resented his own inability to do anything as much as he did at that moment. He was a doctor, but he couldn't even save his own daughter. Guilt, regret, and self-blame were intertwined, making him feel confused.
Chunni seemed to have made up her mind and took out the brand new book "Theoretical Knowledge and Practice of Ancient Chinese Medicine" from her bag.
"Or, let's try Chinese medicine!"
He Yanqing took the "Theoretical Knowledge and Practice of Ancient Chinese Medicine" with doubts and puzzlement in his eyes. Chunni, where did you get this book? You know, after ten years of destruction during the Cultural Revolution, due to various wrong guidance, most of the old Chinese medicine practitioners in the country were criticized and persecuted; many ancient Chinese medicine books were regarded as "four olds" and sent to the pulping pool of paper mills. Someone used a couplet to describe the situation of Chinese medicine. The first line: miserable, ignorant, destroying the four olds, all horses are silent, the Cultural Revolution, the old Chinese medicine practitioners were destroyed; the second line: sad, guilty, establishing three branches, nonsense, combining Chinese and Western medicine, the young doctors were poisoned; the horizontal banner: Chinese medicine is in danger.
The Lai family has been a well-known traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for generations, but after so many hardships, only one cousin of the next generation of the Lai family who is currently studying at university chose to study medicine, and he also studied Western medicine. The other brothers and sisters all chose to take other paths.
The decline of traditional Chinese medicine is already apparent!
Even He Yanqing studied Western medicine! But now Chunni asked him to try Chinese medicine, which made him feel embarrassed.
He Yanqing was conflicted. He didn't know whether to believe in what he had always insisted on - Western medicine, or to choose the profound, long-standing, yet mysterious traditional Chinese medicine.
"Knock, knock, knock." There was a knock on the door.
He Yanqing stood up suddenly and accidentally knocked over the thermos, causing the water in the bottle to gurgle out. He quickly picked up the thermos and shouted at the door: "Who is it?"
"Police, check the room!"
He Yanqing and Chunni looked at each other, wondering how they had attracted the police. With a creak, he opened the door, and two young men in police uniforms stood at the door, and the hotel waiter was standing timidly behind the two policemen.
The leading police officer showed his ID card expressionlessly and waved it in front of He Yanqing. "We received a report that someone was acting suspiciously in this hotel."
He Yanqing looked very unhappy and stared at the waiter for a long time.
Chunni also carried Chuchu to the door and asked, "What's going on?"
"Just to find out the situation." When the policeman saw the woman, his serious expression eased a little.
"Oh!" Chunni didn't care. She didn't do anything wrong and was not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night.
"What is the relationship between the two of you? Is there any proof? Who is the child in your arms to you? What are you doing in Rongcheng..."
The police were determined to find out every detail of Chunni and her husband's purpose of coming to Chengdu.
"We are a couple and we came to Chengdu with our daughter for medical treatment."
"How can you prove that this little girl is your daughter?"
Chunni: ...How can she prove it? Should she do a DNA test? She dares to do it, but is there the technology now?
There is someone who can prove that He Yanqing has a bad love interest, Zhou Wushuang, but neither the couple is willing to ask her for help.
Just when Chunni and her husband were at a loss, Chuchu woke up. "Mom, I want to drink some water."
Chuchu's warm breath sprayed on Chunni's face, making her feel relieved.
"Wait, mom will pour it for you." Chunni turned and went into the house.
Now, Chuchu is the best proof.
The policeman looked at the waiter meaningfully, smiled, patted He Yanqing on the shoulder and said, "It seems to be a misunderstanding."
He Yanqing:...God’s misunderstanding!
After sending the police away, He Yanqing stared at the waiter. The waiter felt numb all over and explained in a hesitant voice: "Your daughter has been sleeping the whole time, I thought..."
He Yanqing said nothing.
"I thought you fed her some medicine and made her unconscious!" The waiter paused and said, "A few days ago, someone dropped the doll, and the bad guy broke into the house and stole the doll. There are so many bad guys..."
What could He Yanqing do? The waiter meant well, but his good intentions led to bad consequences.
"It's okay to be vigilant, but you have to be more careful next time to avoid making any more mistakes." He Yanqing turned around and went back to the room.
