Chapter 908 - 343: Exhausted, In Agony, and the System’s Screams!

"What the heck? Someone’s asking for a consultation right when the stream starts?"

"Wow, so yesterday’s diagnosis of Ah Shan’s illness was actually accurate."

"A mother’s strength... This mother is here with her daughter, probably genuinely worried about her child."

"Curses, really? There’s no such thing in this world. That so-called divine woman probably couldn’t scam money and didn’t want to refund, so she started talking about curses."

"Honestly, it feels like people would rather believe in those so-called divine women, or old traditional doctors, rather than hospitals. It’s frustrating as a rural doctor."

"Maybe it has something to do with how some locals think... They believe hospitals are just money traps, that one would leave with less money, whereas some people did get better after seeking divine women. It’s the same with old traditional doctors... While there are indeed skilled old doctors among them, most aren’t very proficient."

Zhang Lingchuan started the stream upon arrival.

This time it’s about a cow having difficulty giving birth.

Unlike before, where the calf was left frozen on the grass for hours, barely clinging to life.

Typically, if the water breaks and the calf doesn’t come out after over four hours, it’s likely a stillbirth.

The call mentioned the water broke around five or six in the morning.

Counting the hours, it’s only been a little over two.

Normally, it’s not that urgent. At least there’s no need to rush to the household immediately after getting off the car; explaining things to the audience first would be fine.

But right when the stream started, before even greeting viewers, a mother carrying her child approached.

With a slightly embarrassed expression, she interrupted.

She hoped that after delivering the calf, Zhang Lingchuan could check on her daughter.

"President Zhang, not many people live in our Meite Town, but everyone has a mobile phone, so information spreads fast. Yesterday, your precise diagnosis of Ah Yun’s condition — a teratoma containing a fetal remnant — really shocked the whole town."

After the examination last night, Village Chief A Shan didn’t stay at the hospital.

Instead, he took Ah Yun back home.

He informed Granny Aixiang that the hospital results confirmed a fetal remnant in the abdomen.

That’s why she had a large belly for so long.

The county hospital recommended surgery in West China.

That’s in Rongcheng.

As for the costs, that’s not a concern for now.

In a small village, everyone knew quickly, especially since Ah Yun was the focus.

Upon returning, everyone knew at once.

People even crowded into Granny Aixiang’s house, which is also Ah Yun’s home.

The news spread rapidly, reaching every village in Meite Town.

Even neighboring towns heard about it.

Although getting to Meite Town from another town might take one or two hours, still, some were eager to try.

As for why he knew...

He’s been working in the area for so long, naturally, someone asked if Dr. Zhang would continue streaming.

It was evening, and he hadn’t received any word about continuing the stream.

So he didn’t want to speak rashly.

Until after nine, he received a message from Director Zhang Fu.

It stated that Dr. Zhang decided to continue his agricultural aid stream the next day, on New Year’s Day.

"Alright, why don’t I check this little one’s pulse first?"

After understanding the situation, Zhang Lingchuan asked.

The little girl had a yellow tag on her head.

She was indeed in a sickly state.

But the illness was a bit odd, with occasional headaches and even fevers.

"No need, Dr. Zhang, we’re not trying to cut in line. There’s a first come, first served rule after all; since Uncle Nine’s cow is giving birth, please attend to that first. I just wanted to greet you, so you wouldn’t leave right after the delivery."

Just as Zhang Lingchuan was about to check the girl’s pulse, the woman spoke up.

"Cai Ping, you can let Xiaoqiu be examined first."

Uncle Nine, named Mo Changzai, was a man wearing a large cotton coat, with his right sleeve hanging empty, looking about fifty-ish.

He had dark skin and graying hair, evidence of a life of hard work.

Li Caiping was from their Jiumei Village.

Her daughter’s name is Mo Xiaoqiu, notorious for her frequent headaches that doctors, old traditional doctors, and even divine women couldn’t cure, widely known in the village.

Having heard that Dr. Zhang identified Ah Yun’s illness in neighboring Ahala Village, Cai Ping wanted to try her luck with her child. She mentioned this to Village Chief Ah Shan recently.

Surely, people are more important than cattle.

If Cai Ping wanted her daughter checked first, he could let Dr. Zhang do that.

Unexpectedly, Cai Ping was only there for a casual inquiry.

"Uncle Nine, Xiaoqiu’s ailment is an old issue; it can wait a bit longer. Right now, your cow’s water broke a while ago, and delivering the calf is the priority."

Li Caiping said.

Her daughter’s illness could wait.

As she mentioned earlier, she was only there to make a casual inquiry.

She absolutely wouldn’t cut in line.

"This..."

Mo Changzai looked at Ah Shan and Zhang Lingchuan.

For a moment, he was unsure what to do.

"Then President Zhang, how about checking Xiaoqiu after the delivery? The cow’s been in labor for over two hours; it’s exhausted, lying on the ground."
