"Uncle, now that I've brought you here, you have no choice in the matter!"

Wang Qian knew that persuasion was useless, so he gave his father, Wang Yuanguang, a wink and forcibly pulled Lu Aiting back.

Wang Yuanguang said at the right moment, "Brother, you're already here, so don't be stubborn anymore."

"Don't pull me!"

Lu Aiting was so angry she wanted to curse. "I know my own illness, it's none of your business."

"Big brother, can you please stop being so stubborn?"

Lu Aihua, who had come along, was so anxious that she cried. "Xiaoqian brought you to the county hospital out of filial piety. Now that we've arrived, if you go back, wouldn't you be wasting his good intentions?"

Lu Aiting glanced at Wang Qian, her eyes filled with shame. "Sigh, if Xiao Feng were here, we wouldn't have to trouble you like this."

"Uncle, you're treating me like an outsider."

Wang Qian comforted him, saying, "Since your older cousin isn't here, it's only right that I bring you to see a doctor."

He paused for a moment, then urged, "It's getting late, let's go in quickly and have the doctor examine us to see what's wrong."

Knowing she couldn't resist, Lu Aiting finally gave in, albeit reluctantly.

But the closer he got to the hospital, the more terrified he became.

"Xiaoqian, they say that a single trip to the county hospital can drain a family's savings. Is that true?"

Wang Qian was immediately somewhat depressed.

No matter how you try to figure it out, you can't get around money.

Whether it was his aunt Liu Xiaoying or his uncle Lu Aiting, the fundamental reason for their aversion to hospitals was actually because they were afraid of spending money.

Or perhaps it's because they lack money that they dare not step into the hospital, even when they are very ill.

But in fact, it's not just his uncle's family; most families in this era share this mindset.

"Uncle, that's not true!"

Wang Qian patiently explained, "It depends on the illness. If it's a difficult-to-treat illness, it will indeed cost more money, but minor illnesses won't cost much."

After a series of coaxing and cajoling attempts to comfort her, Lu Aiting, filled with trepidation, was finally helped into the hospital by Wang Qian.

In fact, Wang Qian didn't have high hopes either.

After all, in his previous life, his maternal uncle Lu Aiting's illness dragged on until his death.

Even if I were to come to the hospital for a checkup, I imagine it would be some incurable disease.

After a series of examinations, the hospital reached a fairly accurate conclusion.

meningitis!

This disease is curable!

However, the county hospital in Nanming County could not treat it.

The medical equipment here is limited, and the medical staff are not qualified enough.

To achieve a complete cure, you need to go to the municipal hospital in Linjiang City, where there are not only better medical facilities but also more professional neurosurgeons.

Not wanting Lu Aiting to hear the doctor's diagnosis, Wang Qian went to the doctor's office to ask him a question privately.

As for the treatment cost in Linjiang City, it is estimated to be between three and five thousand yuan.

Despite the high cost, Wang Qian breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it can be cured!

At least, thanks to his intervention, the tragedy of the previous life was not repeated.

"Xiaoqian, what did the doctor say?"

When Wang Qian returned to the ward, Lu Aiting couldn't wait to ask him anything.

“The doctor said, Uncle, you have meningitis.” Wang Qian did not hide anything.

What is meningitis?

Not only was Lu Aiting unfamiliar with the topic, but Wang Yuanguang and Lu Aihua were equally puzzled.

"Simply put, it means there is inflammation in the brain."

"Can it be cured?"

Lu Aiting still didn't understand; all he cared about now was whether the illness was curable.

"Yes, of course!"

Wang Qian nodded heavily, then added, "However, the doctor said that this disease cannot be cured with traditional Chinese medicine, and this hospital also lacks the necessary medical equipment. We need to go to Linjiang City for treatment."

"They can't treat it here?"

Lu Aiting suddenly felt a sense of despair.

But then, as if he had suddenly realized something, he asked with a look of surprise and uncertainty, "Where did you say it was?"

“Linjiang City!” Wang Qian repeated.

"Isn't that where Xiaofeng works?" A longing arose in Lu Aiting's eyes.

"Yes, that's the city where my older cousin works."

Wang Qian nodded. "As long as you go there, you'll be able to see your older cousin, and he can come to the hospital to see you!"

"But going to Linjiang City will cost a lot of money, right?"

Lu Aiting wasn't really stupid; her face was full of embarrassment.

The fare to Linjiang City alone would be a huge sum of money.

If I go there for treatment again, it will definitely cost even more.

Moreover, Wang Qian made it sound simple, but this hospital is the largest in Nanming County. If they can't cure his illness, it means the illness is very serious. Even if they can cure it, it will definitely cost a lot of money.

Not only Lu Aiting, but Wang Yuanguang and Lu Aihua also made the connection.

The two elderly people frowned, their faces filled with helplessness.

Wang Yuanguang, in particular, kept casting questioning glances at Wang Qian.

Wang Qian shook his head subtly, indicating that he was fine.

"Uncle, let me take you to Linjiang City."

Wang Qian took a deep breath. "Your illness can't be delayed any longer. If it's delayed any longer, it will be even harder to cure."

"But……"

Before Lu Aiting could say anything more, Wang Qian interrupted, "Don't worry about the money, I'll take care of it."

"no!"

Lu Aiting refused decisively, "I'm going to the hospital for treatment, how can I use your money?"

"Uncle, please don't misunderstand. I'm just lending you the money for your medical treatment. You can pay me back once you're better," Wang Qian said with a smile.

"How much money will it cost to cure my illness?" Lu Aiting pressed.
