Yunyi hadn't expected patients to arrive so soon after she had just started her job.
She took the child from the young wife, "Tell me about the child's specific condition."
With teary eyes, the young wife said, "The child has phlegm in her throat. She can't cough it up, and she can't swallow it down. It has been like this for several days. When we first discovered it, we took her to the commune health center to see a doctor. The doctor prescribed some medicine, but it hasn't helped at all..."
Before she could finish, a woman's scolding voice came from outside, "You shameless woman! I've told you, a mere girl doesn't have a precious life. If her fate is strong, she'll live. If it's weak, just throw her into the mountains! Yet you insist on bringing her here, wasting good money. What are you plotting?"
Someone stopped the woman, asking, "Auntie Xu, what happened?"
