Chapter 283: Lumbar Muscle Strain
Jiang Xiaoxiao excused herself, she still had things to do.
But it was agreed they would buy the train tickets, Bai Jiefang still needed to go back to get a letter of introduction.
Buying train tickets wasn't something he could do just because he wanted to.
Jiang Xiaoxiao agreed, saying she would pick up Bai Yiyi tomorrow and let her stay with them for a couple of days first.
Bai Jiefang and his wife would go home first to get the introduction letter, and after returning, they would all go back to the farm together.
Bai Jiefang personally accompanied Jiang Xiaoxiao to the courtyard where Jin Dachuan lived, and he saw Jiang Xiaoxiao and her company with the letter of introduction. He acquainted himself with He Aiguo and Jin Dachuan, confirming that these were not bad people engaging in misdeeds.
Otherwise, how could he casually leave his niece in someone else's care so easily?
The more Bai Jiefang acted this way, the more Jiang Xiaoxiao felt that Bai Jiefang and his wife were good people.
In the past life, it wasn't just Bai Yiyi, even she herself had her doubts.
When Bai Yiyi was taken away by human traffickers, was it because this couple didn't want to care for this orphan, and thus intentionally left the child by the roadside, leading to the trafficking incident?
After all, a lot of coincidences happened when this incident occurred.
It's hard not to overthink.
How could there be such coincidences?
However, through Jiang Xiaoxiao's interaction this lifetime, she felt their suspicions towards Bai Yiyi's second uncle and aunt could be put to rest.
If the second uncle and aunt really didn't want to raise Bai Yiyi, there was absolutely no need to go through all this trouble; facing a newly appeared relative like herself, they could have easily handed her over, wishing Jiang Xiaoxiao would take her away quickly.
To them, it was like unloading a burden.
But now they were being so meticulous, even wanting to follow her to check her records and see her situation, which proved they were concerned for the child.
Without seeing a real situation, they wouldn't be at ease handing the child over.
In this respect, the uncle and aunt were not like what they thought.
Perhaps, in the past life it truly was a misunderstanding.
Jiang Xiaoxiao still had to deliver dinner to Song Moting and Wu Fei at the hospital.
Wu Pingzhou and Xiao Xin hadn't even caught their breath after getting off the train before heading straight to the hospital.
They were extremely anxious after receiving the call; Wu Fei was their only daughter, and now that something had happened, how could they not be worried?
The child had never suffered a bruise in her life, and now she had undergone surgery. It's hard not to worry.
When the two arrived at the hospital, they were fortunate to have connections; local acquaintances picked them up.
A car was specifically dispatched for them.
As soon as they got out of the car, Xiao Xin hurriedly ran inside, extremely anxious.
With a crash.
She ran into someone, and both fell, scattering food all over the ground.
Xiao Xin realized she was the one at fault, surely it was because she was too rushed to watch the road.
"Are you okay?"
She immediately got up to help the person.
But with an "ouch" she couldn't get up, her long-term back muscle strain had been aggravated.
Wu Pingzhou hurriedly half-supported, half-carried his wife up, Jiang Xiaoxiao also came over to help.
Who'd expect such a thing to happen upon arrival at the hospital? On the way, she thought about how to gain Bai Jiefang's trust, there was no plan here and how to persuade her parents.
Suddenly getting another child to take care of, that's a big responsibility, with no proper reason, asking her parents to raise someone.
Isn't this looking for gossip?
Overwhelmed with thoughts, she didn't see someone rushing from the opposite direction.
Now both ended up in a sorry state.
"Are you okay?"
Wu Pingzhou, having not seen what just happened, saw his wife aggravated and fussed loudly at Jiang Xiaoxiao.
"Young lady, how could you! Didn't you see people? Rushing around carelessly, if you hurt someone, can you afford it?!"
Jiang Xiaoxiao froze, seeing this uncle who looked gentle, but why did his words make a person dislike him?
"Uncle, did you make a mistake?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao wondered whether she had a face that people bullied?
Or did she have a face that bullied others?
Who did she offend!
Always getting this behavior.
Taking things so seriously.
"Young lady! Aren't you the one who bumped into someone? At such a young age, you're already shirking responsibility, after hitting someone, instead of owning up, you try to evade, truly the heart is malicious."
Wu Pingzhou's eyes were fixed on his wife, frowning in pain, along with the initial assumption that Jiang Xiaoxiao wanted to evade responsibility, his tone became increasingly harsh.
Xiao Xin, enduring the pain, urgently stopped her husband.
"Old Wu, you misunderstood this child, it was I who ran into her, didn't you see how her food was all over the ground, earlier I wasn't watching the road."
She started groaning in pain.
Back muscle strain pain can be unbearable to the point where one cannot get up from bed.
Wu Pingzhou's face turned awkward.
He misunderstood.
Ah...
"Sorry! I thought that..."
Jiang Xiaoxiao stepped forward, "Uncle, quickly take her somewhere to lie flat!"
Without responding to Wu Pingzhou's reaction at all.
Wu Pingzhou was still trying to apologize when she interrupted.
"Young girl, I know!"
He was a doctor, how could he not know.
His wife's issue was an old one, and every time it flared up, she had to rest in bed, initially intended for needle knife treatment, but they truly had no time.
Patients' surgeries were scheduled until next year, if they rested, who knows how many patients would miss treatments.
They couldn't afford to rest.
A doctor without any time to even take a break.
Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't even glance at Wu Pingzhou.
Being questioned wasn't her fault.
Although Wu Pingzhou grumbled, he helped Jiang Xiaoxiao bring her inside.
In the emergency room, Xiao Xin lay on the bed.
The emergency room was busy now, two pregnant women had just been brought into a hospital, one with heavy bleeding, the other with the child's head coming out. Doctors and nurses were all busy.
Since Xiao Xin's condition wasn't life-threatening, she naturally was placed in the emergency room unattended.
Xiao Xin suffered intensely, this time the accidental twist of the waist triggered the old strain on her back muscles, but the pain could truly make a person uncomfortable.
Jiang Xiaoxiao moved a step forward, removed Xiao Xin's shoes, used her right index finger to flick the left Kunlun point of the foot, and when flicking the right Kunlun point, used her left index fingertip to press down first, then slide towards the outer ankle.
Xiao Xin and Wu Pingzhou were both too late to react.
Xiao Xin felt a tingling pain or an electric shock sensation shooting towards the sole, as Jiang Xiaoxiao continued to flick the bilateral points three times each.
"Ah, it doesn't hurt anymore!"
Xiao Xin smiled.
Jiang Xiaoxiao grinned, "You should have felt an electric shock sensation just now! If you only had pain but no electric shock sensation, the back pain can only be alleviated, not eliminated, the electric sensation has to travel down to the sole to totally get rid of the back pain."
Wu Pingzhou, too, found it amazing, "You... girl, you actually have such a skill! Impressive, hidden talent in the countryside."
This method indeed they didn't know.
Jiang Xiaoxiao, seeing the pain relieved, stopped, "Alright, barring any accidents, rest for a few minutes and you'll be able to get up, but no intense activities for the next two days, make sure to get plenty of rest."
Having encountered this situation often in the countryside, it's a method summed up over decades.
Never failed.
