Chapter 6 - 10

Chapter 6: Deficiency

"Then we will use the drip!" Qiao Dongliang said without hesitation. He noticed that the doctor was looking strange. "What's the matter, does my daughter have other problems?"

The doctor thought for a while and asked, "How's your family doing?"

"Still alright." Qiao Dongliang was stunned and his face was full of anxiety. "Has my daughter contracted a serious illness that will incur high medical costs? It does not matter. If my daughter is sick, I must cure her regardless of how much money it takes. Doctor, please don't give up!"

Qiao Nan, who was seated to one side, was also stunned. During her previous life, she suffered a lot and had many minor ailments but not major ones.

The doctor's frown softened. "Don't worry, your daughter is not sick, it's just that... "

"What is it?" This doctor's speech was accompanied with heavy breathing. It made people anxious.

"Your daughter does not have any major illness. She is just a little malnourished, and had been in hunger. If this continues, her heath will eventually suffer."

The doctor's words made Qiao Dongliang's face blush red. It was not as if they were in the 1960s and 1970s, when they were dealing with famine.

His younger daughter was actually malnourished.

As it was not convenient for the male doctor to pose certain questions, they shouted for a female doctor to come in.

After the female doctor came, she was direct in asking the questions. "How old are you?"

"15."

"Have you started menstruating yet? Have you taken a biology class, and know that the young ladies menstruate once a month?"

Qiao Nan did not respond, Qiao Dongliang's face was red with embarrassment. "Nan Nan?"

Qiao Nan looked dazed and she shook her head. "I don't think so."

In fact, Qiao Nan was clearly aware that, to date, she had not had her first period.

As per the doctor's account, she was malnourished. She often went hungry as she was growing up, and frequently had cramps when she was sleeping at night. Because of this, her menstruation only started when she was 18 years old.

Qiao Zijin was two years older than her but had already had her first period three years ago. Qiao Nan had helped her wash the stained pants. In other words, Qiao Zijin started menstruating when she was 14 years old.

Qiao Dongliang did not know his younger daughter's condition, although he knew about his elder daughter's condition due to his wife as she often mentioned matters regarding Qiao Zijin.

Each time Qiao Zijin was having her period, his wife would wait on Qiao Zijin with hot water bottles and brown sugar soup.

Qiao Dongliang calculated that when the eldest daughter "grew up," she was one year younger than the younger daughter now.

Upon comparing, Qiao Dongliang was a little nervous. "Is this too late for my daughter?"

The female doctor said in an orderly manner, "Not really, typically a young girl's first period will occur between the ages of 12 and 16. But your daughter is too skinny, she hasn't been getting enough to eat!"

If this continued, her period may not come even when she has reached 16 years old.

Qiao Dongliang was dumbfounded by the questions. Food, of course food was given. He could not possibly have given his younger daughter one less mouthful of food.
