When the doctor saw that he couldn't find the finger, he could only ask them: "Do you want to go back and look for it? But his hand needs to be bandaged now."
"I'd better write you a prescription first! You go and pay the fee first, then take the medicine and go find the nurse, and let them apply medicine and bandage you."
Li Xiaoqin took the form in a daze, not knowing what the doctor wrote. She saw scribbles all over it.
She couldn't understand what was written, but she still asked carefully: "Doctor, how much do these things cost?"
The doctor said without even looking at her, "I'm only responsible for prescribing medicine. As for how much each medicine costs, you have to ask the pharmacy."
Li Xiaoqin held the receipt and asked hesitantly, "If we find our finger, can we reattach it? If so, how much will it cost?"
Doctor: "Oh, it's hard to say. We need to see how the broken finger looks like. But this operation cannot be performed in our clinic. We need to go to a bigger hospital."
"As for the cost, it should be several dozen yuan, right? I'm not sure about this. You should ask the hospital that can perform this kind of surgery for details."
A few dozen dollars?
The doctor's words completely sank Li Xiaoqin's heart.
Not to mention the surgery fee, they don’t even have the money for the travel expenses to go to a bigger hospital!
Then what else is there to answer?
Shen Qiushu stared at his injured hand in silence, and said dejectedly: "If I can't take it, then don't take it. It won't affect my work if I heal it."
This time, no matter how cunning Li Xiaoqin was, she could do nothing because she had no money.
The three of them came out of the doctor's room in silence. Shen Chunshu supported Shen Qiushu and followed Li Xiaoqin to find the nurse.
But his eyes were always fixed on Li Xiaoqin's back.
Looking at the way the third son’s wife asked the doctor just now, why did it feel like she had money in her hands?
If they don't have a penny, then no matter how cheap the medicine the doctor prescribes, they won't be able to afford it, right?
This question lingered in Shen Chunshu's mind.
After Li Xiaoqin handed Shen Qiushu to the nurse, she went to pay the fee and get the medicine.
Shen Chunshu stood there and thought for a long time, but finally couldn't help it. He left Shen Qiushu alone and walked quietly towards the hall.
But when he found Li Xiaoqin, she had already returned with a roll of white gauze in her hand.
There was something else in her hand, and Shen Chunshu didn't know what it was.
"Sister-in-law, what medicine did the doctor prescribe? How much does it cost in total?"
Seeing that Shen Chunshu's eyes were fixed on the thing in her hand, Li Xiaoqin couldn't help but put her hands behind her back.
"Just for bandaging. The rest are medicines. I didn't take as much as the doctor prescribed. I don't have enough money."
When she went to get the medicine, the doctor seemed to have prescribed something for injection. She asked about the price and was told it was 70 or 80 cents, so she didn't take the medicine.
Anyway, I asked the pharmacy, and they said the medicine for the injection had the same effect as the pills she was taking.
She thought she would just eat one.
After all, this is cheaper.
In fact, Shen Chunshu was not interested in what medicine was prescribed. He just wanted to know where Li Xiaoqin got the money from.
Did the old man secretly give it to the third brother and his wife?
Or did the third brother steal it from home?
Chen Chunshu followed Li Xiaoqin closely as he walked towards the doctor's room. In the end, he couldn't help but ask, "Where did you get the money to buy the medicine? Did your father give it to you?"
Li Xiaoqin paused and turned back to look at him with a frown: "Where does Dad have the money? This little money was given to me as a deposit when I got married."
But Shen Chunshu didn't believe a word of what she said.
When he married Li Xiaoqin, the stingy Li family didn't seem to be preparing a dowry for Li Xiaoqin.
"Do you think I'm a fool, sister-in-law? I know your family's situation, but it's meaningless to use the dowry money as an excuse, right?"
"Do you want me to go to your mother's house and ask how much money your parents have prepared for you?"
Li Xiaoqin's face suddenly turned ugly.
She didn't expect that Shen Chunshu would be so demanding about the money in her hands.
This money was definitely not given by her parents.
In total, she secretly kept about one dollar in her hand.
It was the money she saved up during the years she was a girl in her parents' home, doing housework for others in the winter.
His parents definitely don't know.
If Chen Chunshu really had the nerve to go to her parents' house to ask, her parents would probably fight to the death to get the money back.
Shen Chunshu saw Li Xiaoqin standing there without saying anything, and thought that he had guessed it right, and he immediately became angry.
"Why did Dad secretly give you money? I am the eldest of the Shen family. I have a son and a daughter. I have carried on the family line. What have you two done for the Shen family? If there is money in the family, it should be given to me."
Li Xiaoqin was speechless: "This money was not given by my father, I brought it from my mother's home."
But Shen Chunshu was certain that the money in Li Xiaoqin's hand was given by Old Man Shen. He ignored the medicine in Li Xiaoqin's hand, but walked up to her and searched her pockets.
"How much money is left? Give it all to me! You two are really capable. The family is in such a bad situation now. Can you still trick the old man into secretly giving you money?"
"Chen Chunshu, what are you doing? Take your stinky hands away!" Li Xiaoqin screamed, pushed him away and ran towards Chen Qiushu.
Chen Chunshu chased after him: "Take out the money, or I'll beat you to death, you stinky bitch!"
The person in the duty room poked his head out of the small window and shouted at them, "What are you doing? Why are you making so much noise so late at night? If you make more noise, I'll call the police."
"It's just family affairs, family affairs, we can solve it ourselves..." Shen Chunshu quickly turned around and explained to the person who was registering.
The person on duty muttered a few words, and knowing that they were probably from the same family, he casually asked them to keep their voices down and said nothing more.
With just this interception, it was too late for Shen Chunshu to chase Li Xiaoqin.
She had already run to the nurse's room where Shen Qiushu was.
With a "bang", the door was suddenly pushed open by Li Xiaoqin.
Seeing her look like she was being chased by a dog, Shen Qiushu and the nurse were puzzled.
"Why are you running?" Shen Qiushu asked.
Li Xiaoqin glanced at the nurse and did not tell her about Chen Chunshu's attempt to rob her of money. She just pulled the corner of her mouth and said, "I wanted to come back quickly so that I could apply medicine and bandage you, so I was a little anxious."
The two of them didn't think much about it, and the nurse began to apply medicine and bandage Shen Qiushu.
At this time, Shen Chunshu also came back.
As soon as he pushed the door open, Li Xiaoqin glanced at him, then quietly moved to the right side of Chen Qiushu, which was farthest from the door.
Seeing that Shen Qiushu and his wife did not treat him coldly, Shen Chunshu did not continue to ask about the money in Li Xiaoqin's hand.
Of course, he also felt a little embarrassed because there were outsiders present.
When the nurse finished bandaging Shen Qiushu, she looked at what was written on the sheet and asked Li Xiaoqin, "It says penicillin here, why don't I see any medicine?"
