"No, no. I'm not going to the hospital. I don't want to be injected…"
Qin Keke desperately struggled and refused to go to the hospital.
"You have to go to the hospital. Do you want a worm to grow in your stomach?" Qin Yun imitated what Su Chen had said to her daughter to scare her.
Qin Keke immediately stopped struggling. She cried and whined. "Mom, I don't want a worm, and I don't want an injection." She whined some more.
When Qin Yun heard her daughter cry so sadly, her heart ached. Her daughter was the one she loved most.
"Good girl. Don't cry. I'll take you to the hospital so they can check you out. You will be fine soon. Why did you eat this stuff in the first place?" Qin Yun patted her daughter's back to comfort her.
Qin Keke whined and cried louder.
Everyone in the store looked over.
"Keke, do not be afraid. An injection does not hurt." Lin Yumeng also felt pity and comforted her.
"I'll take her to the hospital first," said Qin Yun to both Su Chen and Lin Yumeng and started to move.
"Wait."
Su Chen suddenly opened his mouth.
Qin Yun looked at him doubtfully.
"I know some medication. I have the skill to cure her," explained Su Chen.
"Do you have an idea? How can I treat her?" Qin Yun was in disbelief about it. She thought about what Su Chen said to scare her daughter. He seemed to know some medical skills.
Lin Yumeng looked at him in surprise too. She naturally didn't doubt Su Chen's word, but she didn't know when Su Chen had learned medical skills.
"She is just having a bad tummy. I can give her acupuncture. However, I don't have a silver needle. Is there anywhere I can buy one here?" Su Chen looked at the boss of the shop.
A couple operated this shop. The owner of the restaurant was a middle-aged man. A woman who looked like she was in her forties was probably his wife.
"I—I don't know. Quickly send her to a hospital. It might be another disease. She might not be having a bad tummy. Our chicken chop is fine."
When the boss heard that it was a bad tummy, his face showed panic, and he wanted to get rid of the responsibility.
The problem of food safety was not a small matter. He might even have to close his shop.
"Yes, yes, yes. Our chicken is very fresh. There would not be any problem." The middle-aged women was flustered as she nodded and agreed.
When the diners inside the shop saw that, they understood immediately what was happening. They hurriedly threw away the food that they hadn't finished and looked angrily at the boss.
"What nonsense are you talking about? My child's body has been very healthy. We take her for a checkup several times a year. What is this if it is not a bad tummy? Wait, I will sue you." Qin Yun pointed at the boss and scolded because what he said angered her.
Her temperament was extraordinary. Her anger and her strong attitude frightened the middle-aged couple.
"Calm down, everyone. Is this the time to fight?" Su Chen quickly shouted when he saw that Qin Keke's facial expression was changing to show more and more pain, and there was sweat on her forehead.
"Right, curing Keke is the priority now. You said you need silver needles now, right? I'll go and get one," said Qin Yun when she got her senses back.
"I'll go. I'll go. Keke needs someone to take care of her," said Lin Yumeng quickly.
"This…Well, thank you," Qin Yun said.
"Boss, you go with my girlfriend. She is not very familiar with this place," said Su Chen to the middle-aged woman.
When the middle-aged woman heard this she got flustered and nodded. Then she quickly went out of the restaurant with Lin Yumeng.
"Sister Qin, could you hold Keke and sit down. I'll press her acupuncture point first, which could alleviate the pain a little," said Su Chen as he looked at Qin Yun.
"Yes, please do it." Qin Yun quickly nodded and sat down to hold her daughter in her arms.
Su Chen stretched out his hand to hold Qin Keke's left hand. The tip of his thumb pressed on the Hegu acupoint. His strength was gradually weak and strong, pressing on the point. After about half a minute, he let go and continued again and repeated the process.
Soon, Qin Keke's face looked better.
"Eh? Mom, I feel much better and in less pain," said Qin Keke, surprised.
Qin Yun felt heavily relieved. She gratefully looked at Su Chen.
"This is the Hegu acupoint. If you press it as I did, it will help the Qi in the body to move across the organs. It could relieve spasms and reduce pain," explained Su Chen with a smile.
Qin Yun chuckled and nodded. It seemed that he was not lying; he indeed had some medical skills.
"Big brother, you are great. You really know a lot," praised Qin Keke in a worshipful manner.
"Ha-ha" Su Chen smiled happily and continued saying, "In fact, her condition was not food poisoning. Children have weaker immune systems. It might have been because she did not eat fried food for too long so her stomach might not be able to adapt to it suddenly. Did she eat cold food before this?"
"Yes, she ate ice cream—two of them!" Qin Yun clenched her teeth and nodded.
"No wonder." Su Chen smiled.
Qin Keke's face blushed. She embraced Qin Yun in embarrassment.
"Feeling shy now? Did you hear that? Are you going to be greedy again? Don't eat anything like that again." Qin Yun pinched her daughter's face.
"Okay!" Qin Keke impatiently answered and shook away her hand.
When the middle-aged boss heard that the problem was not their chicken chop, he was relieved and said to the customers in the shop, "Have you heard that? Our chicken has no problem. It is none of our business.'
"Boss, I did not say it has nothing to do with you. You should pay attention to your food more in this weather. If I am not mistaken, your chicken chop meat was not brought in today, and you had not changed the oil you used to fry since morning."
Su Chen looked at the boss and said with a smile, "We would not have any problem if we eat it. But a child with a fragile digestive system would have a bad tummy after eating it. If anything happens, you would not be able to get away with it."
"Yes, yes…We'll pay attention. We'll pay attention to it."
The middle-aged boss sweated and nodded.
"This young man knows much. He looks like an intelligent student. He is also handsome, but he has a girlfriend. Otherwise, it would be nice to introduce my daughter to him.
"Boy, you are amazing."
The customers in the restaurant praised Su Chen.
Su Chen was a little embarrassed by the attention given to him. He then pressed on the Zusanli acupoint on the calf of Keke. This acupuncture point also has the effect of treating abdominal pain.
In a short while, Lin Yumeng and the middle-aged woman brought back the silver needles they had bought in a hurry.
"Brother Chen, here are the silver needles." Lin Yumeng panted and handed the silver needle box to Su Chen.
Su Chen took it and took out a silver needle.
"Ah! No, I don't want needles. They are terrible."
Qin Keke immediately shouted in fear when she saw the bright silver needle.
"Keke, good girl. This will not hurt a bit," said Su Chen quickly.
"Liar. You are lying. That is what the doctor says when he gives an injection." Qin Keke did not believe it at all.
"Keke! Don't throw a tantrum!" said Qin Yun as she frowned.
"No, I don't want to be poked by a needle!"
Qin Keke cried again.
"I am not lying to you. You don't believe in big brother?" said Su Chen.
Qin Keke looked at him suspiciously with tears in her eyes and shook her head.
