When Sun Meiping got on the carriage and saw Zhao Yongqiang standing in front of the clinic doing nothing, she began to wonder.

Didn't they say that Dad was dying? Why did my eldest brother look like he had nothing to do with it?

Sun Meiping suppressed her doubts, picked up the child, followed her husband into the clinic.

After Zhao Yongqiang explained his condition, the clinic sent Doctor Wang to accompany them on the consultation.

At this time, Sun Meiping became even more confused. Why didn't they invite a doctor in advance? As soon as they arrived at the clinic, they could pick up the doctor and set off immediately.

Now they had to go to the clinic to ask for a doctor, which delayed them for at least two quarters of an hour. Sun Meiping suppressed her doubts and sat in the carriage in silence.

I no longer feel the urgency I felt at the beginning.

There were four people sitting in the carriage, Zhao Yongwen and his wife, their daughter Zhao Xiaoyun, and Wang Langzhong. The carriage was not big, and after the four of them sat there was no room for anyone else.

Zhao Yongqiang had no choice but to accompany the coachman and sit on the shaft outside. The cold wind outside made Zhao Yongqiang's nose runny.

In fact, Sun Meiping did it on purpose. She just couldn't stand the eldest brother of the Zhao family. Although she didn't know what tricks Zhao Yongqiang was playing this time, she always felt that things were not that simple.

So Sun Meiping put her daughter directly on the seat. In fact, she could have picked up the child and placed her on her lap and squeezed another person into the carriage, but Sun Meiping refused to do so.

Zhao Yongwen was so anxious that he had no mood to pay attention to his wife's little thoughts.

Zhao Yongqiang had achieved his goal, so he didn't care about a little cold wind at all.

It is estimated that only Doctor Wang could see Sun Meiping's little thoughts, but what does it have to do with him? People who often go out to see patients have long known that it is better to have less trouble than more.

Doctor Wang closed his eyes and ignored the family's lawsuit.

The Zhao family had been waiting for a long time. Zhao's mother welcomed the doctor and hurriedly invited him into the main house.

In the main house, there was no one else except Zhao's mother, which made Sun Meiping even more confused.

Even Zhao Yongqiang, after bringing the doctor over, went into his own west wing room and never showed up again.

After Doctor Wang cured the patient, Zhao's mother, Zhao Yongwen and others looked at Doctor Wang with expectant eyes.

Doctor Wang was used to this disease. He shook his head slightly and said, "Sweating during sleep, fever in the afternoon, coughing, fatigue and weakness, poor appetite, and even blood in sputum, spitting up blood, bleeding from the nose, fever, deep and rapid pulse, and muscle wasting. This is called tuberculosis."

In other words, Zhao Daqing had tuberculosis.

When Zhao's mother and Zhao Yongwen heard that Zhao Daqing's illness was tuberculosis, they were even more sad. Everyone in that era knew that tuberculosis was incurable.

Zhao Yongwen bowed to Doctor Wang and said, "Please prescribe medicine, Doctor."

Doctor Wang stroked his beard and understood what Zhao Yongwen meant. No matter what, he had to prescribe medicine for the patient. Even if it couldn't cure the disease, it would at least alleviate the pain.

After the medicine was prescribed, Zhao Yongwen took the prescription and had to go back to the county town with Doctor Wang to get the medicine.

Before leaving, Doctor Wang said, "One acre is ten taels of silver."

Sun Meiping's heart skipped a beat, and she finally understood what was strange about Zhao Yongqiang along the way.

Zhao Yongwen frowned at Doctor Wang's words. He looked around the room and realized that his elder brother had disappeared.

Upon hearing this, Zhao's mother hurriedly got up and went back to the house, preparing to get the silver from the place where she had hidden it.

Sun Meiping held Zhao's mother down and said, "Mom, I'll give it to you first."

In order not to delay things and to allow Doctor Wang to return to the county as soon as possible to bring back medicine for her father, Sun Meiping took out ten taels of silver and a silver note from her purse and handed them to Doctor Wang.

This banknote was given to Sun Meiping before she returned to the Zhao family. She thought her father-in-law was dying, so she took it with her to prepare for his funeral.
