The doctor thought for a while and replied, "Surgery is quite expensive nowadays. At his age, he can actually choose to recover on his own. But if the recovery is not good, there may be some sequelae."
Xu Yilan almost collapsed when she heard the word "sequelae". She cried to the doctor anxiously, "Do surgery! Doctor, we choose surgery! My son is not even 20 years old yet, he cannot be disabled!"
The doctor frowned, looked at Xu Yilan's attire, and asked, "Medical resources are tight right now. This kind of surgery is very expensive, at least 200,000. Are you sure you want to do it?"
Xu Yilan was stunned. 200,000 yuan was nothing to the Lu family before the natural disaster. It was just Lu Siyuan’s monthly pocket money.
But now it is not the case. The insurance company they insured has gone bankrupt, and now the whole family has no commercial insurance. Lu Bo's physical examination and Lu Siyuan's bandage had cost a lot of money, and she had very little money left.
But looking at Lu Siyuan's pale face and twitching body, Xu Yilan felt sorry for her youngest son. She gritted her teeth and said, "Do it! Let's do it!"
The doctor nodded and replied, "Then please go to the cashier and pay the money first."
Xu Yilan was stunned, and said anxiously: "I, I don't have so much money now, I need to go back to get money, can you do the surgery for my son first?"
The doctor looked at Xu Yilan with a half-smile, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, ma'am. As you know, medical resources are in short supply, so our hospital requires payment first to avoid the problem of people running away without paying."
The doctor deliberately added the words "run away from the bill", and Xu Yilan's face turned red.
She came from a scholarly family and had been a wealthy wife for more than 20 years. No one would ever associate her with "running away from the bill."
At this moment, she felt that the self-esteem she had worked so hard to maintain was completely shattered.
But Xu Yilan had no choice. She whispered, "Wait a minute, I'll ask someone to transfer the money over." Then she quickly left the clinic.
Xu Yilan first tried to call Lu Sixue. She wanted to ask Lu Sixue for some money, but Lu Sixue did not answer.
Xu Yilan called several times in a row, but Lu Sixue did not respond.
Xu Yilan was helpless. After thinking it over, she could only call Lu Siqi again.
The call was connected, and Lu Siqi's impatient voice came from the receiver: "Mom, didn't I tell you not to call me today if you have nothing to do? I'm accompanying Zhou Mei to Zhou's house for the New Year's Eve dinner today. This is my first time meeting the Zhou family, and I have to leave a good impression on them."
After Lu Siqi joined Zhou's company, his boss introduced his daughter Zhou Mei to him when he learned that he was single.
Although this person is a branch of the Zhou family and does not have much say in the Zhou family, he can still come to the Zhou family's ancestral home to have a New Year's Eve dinner based on this little bit of relationship.
Lu Siqi would not miss this opportunity to get close to Zhou's senior management, so he attended the family dinner as Zhou Mei's boyfriend.
Xu Yilan cried and said, "Son, Mom knows, but there is nothing I can do now. Your brother's leg is injured and he needs surgery. The surgery will cost 200,000 yuan. Can you transfer some money to Mom?"
Lu Si was shocked when she heard this: "Mom, what did you say?! What the hell is going on?"
Xu Yilan could only stammer and say, "It's all Xia Shige's fault. We went to find her today and tried to restore our relationship, but she didn't appreciate it and instead spoke harshly to us, making your father faint. Xiaoyuan was so angry that he wanted to teach her a lesson, but she actually shot Xiaoyuan in the thigh with a weapon!"
Lu Siqi said anxiously, "Did you call the police? Xia Shige injured Siyuan, so you called the police and asked her to pay compensation. If she doesn't agree, let the police arrest her!"
Xu Yilan replied with a guilty conscience: "I called the police, but they said Xiaoyuan was holding a knife at the time, and Xia Shige was acting in self-defense."
Xu Yilan didn't dare tell Lu Siqi that the three of them had been given a warning record by the police.
Lu Siqi on the other side frowned upon hearing this. He complained in dissatisfaction, "Mom, you are so stupid! How could you let Xiaoyuan go there with a knife? Once the knife is used, the nature of the situation changes completely! I just joined Zhou's company. Zhou's internal review is strict and pays close attention to the family status of employees. If others know that you came to my house with knives to cause trouble, how can I keep my job?!"
Xu Yilan felt more and more guilty as Lu Siqi talked more and more. She said hesitantly, "It's all our fault, son, don't be angry. Xiaoyuan is still waiting for surgery. The doctor said that if he doesn't have surgery on his leg, he may become disabled. What do you think we should do now?"
After Xu Yilan finished speaking, she began to sob quietly and anxiously.
Lu Si sighed and replied, "I see. I'll transfer the money to you right away. Remember, don't go to the Xia family to cause trouble in the future. Even if you want to deal with the Xia family, now is not the time. I won't talk to you anymore. I'm hanging up first."
