She turned to look at Lu Qing and was about to share the good news...
Lu Qing held her hand tightly.
Lu Qing held Shen Qiqi's hand tightly, the rough touch of his palm conveying his silent gratitude.
He looked at Shen Qiqi with tenderness in his eyes. This woman was like a tough little grass, which could grow upward tenaciously no matter what difficulties it encountered.
He knew that Shen Qiqi had sacrificed too much for this family and for Mother Lu, and he had no way to repay her, so he could only protect her with even deeper love.
A warm atmosphere flowed between the two of them, as if bringing a touch of warmth to the cold room.
Shen Qiqi felt the love conveyed by Lu Qing, and the anxiety in her heart dissipated a lot. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a happy smile.
However, reality is always so cruel.
The old doctor wrote a new prescription. The names of the herbs on it were unfamiliar to Shen Qiqi. When she asked about the price, she gasped - expensive!
It’s not just expensive, it’s ridiculously expensive!
Just these few medicines, combined, would probably drain all our family savings!
Shen Qiqi's face instantly fell, her heart was like a tangled mess, and anxiety was swirling in her heart.
It’s not easy to make money these days. In order to treat my mother-in-law’s illness, the family’s savings have been almost gone. Now such a huge sum of money has popped up, which is really a headache!
She looked worried and gloomy, like a worker who was ravaged by life.
Lu Qing also frowned. He knew the family's financial situation. Looking at Shen Qiqi's face full of worry, he felt a pang of pain in his heart.
He originally thought he had found a life-saving straw, but he was unexpectedly blocked outside by the wall of "money". He felt deeply powerless, and a depressing atmosphere spread in the room, as if the air had solidified.
"What should I do?" Shen Qiqi murmured to herself. She felt like her brain was about to crash, like an old computer that couldn't run large programs.
"Or..." Lu Qing hesitated to speak, his brows furrowed. He felt sorry for his wife, but didn't know how to solve the current dilemma.
"No, I have to think of a way..." Shen Qiqi's eyes were fixed, like a cheetah ready to pounce, she would never allow herself to be defeated like this.
She walked to the door, took a deep breath, as if to dispel the haze in her heart, and then said to Lu Qing, "Brother Qing, I'm going out for a while."
She didn't explain what she was going to do, but just walked out of the room firmly...
As soon as Shen Qiqi walked out of the hospital gate, her mind started working rapidly as if it had been turned on.
Borrow money!
Must borrow money!
She is not the kind of "little white flower" who cries when encountering difficulties. She is Niuhulu Qiqi!
The first person she thought of was Aunt Li in the village. She had a good relationship with this aunt and was a kind-hearted person, so she should be able to help.
She trotted all the way to Aunt Li's house and told her the whole story in detail, her tone so sincere that it seemed like she was acting in a Qiong Yao drama.
When Aunt Li heard this, she was shocked!
She immediately expressed her willingness to contribute, dug out a small cloth bag from the bottom of the box, counted the money, and handed it to Shen Qiqi, "Qiqi, Auntie doesn't have much money, take these, and use them for emergency!"
Shen Qiqi looked at the wrinkled banknotes in her hand, and her heart felt warm, as if she was holding a hand warmer in winter.
She was so moved that tears were about to fall from her eyes. This was Aunt Li's pension money!
She choked up and said, "Auntie, this... this is so embarrassing..."
"Why are you being so polite to me? Saving lives is the most important thing!" Aunt Li waved her hands generously, with an expression that said, "Don't be so pretentious with me."
With Aunt Li's help, Shen Qiqi's journey of borrowing money went a lot more smoothly.
She then went to the homes of several neighbors with whom she had a good relationship. Everyone was moved by her sincerity and donated generously. Some donated five dollars, some donated ten dollars, and they actually collected quite a bit of money.
Shen Qiqi took the borrowed money, her heart beating like a little rabbit in her chest.
She didn't expect that in this age of material scarcity, the warmth between people could be so strong.
She secretly vowed that she would repay those who helped her in the future!
Lu Qing stood at the hospital entrance, watching from afar as Shen Qiqi shuttled through the crowd like a little bee. Her busy figure made him feel distressed and moved.
This woman really cares about this family.
He clenched his fists and said silently in his heart: "Qiqi, I will definitely let you live a good life!"
Shen Qiqi returned to the hospital, clutching the borrowed money tightly in her hand, her face beaming with excitement.
She walked up to Lu Qing, waved the money in her hand, and said excitedly: "Brother Qing, we have enough money! We can buy medicine!"
Lu Qing looked at her excited expression and his heart was filled with hope.
He reached out and held Shen Qiqi's hand, their palms conveying each other's warmth.
However, the new treatment plan has not yet been implemented. It is unknown whether it is really effective and whether the patient's condition can improve.
Shen Qiqi took the medicine she bought and pushed open the door of the ward...
