Chapter 86 Three taels of silver for a day's medicine
Lu Qiniang shook her head honestly: "I can't afford it."
There are different levels of closeness in relationships.
Not to mention Xiao Yan's grandfather, even for Xiao Yan, she was afraid she couldn't do it.
To be precise, only her three daughters can enable her to do this.
"Isn't that the end of it?" Doctor Hu said angrily, "I said I can't cure him, but how can I harm you? You insist on digging deep into the casserole to get to the bottom of it. I'm going to tell them, will you save him or not? Aren't you just waiting for Xiao Yan to have a grudge against you?"
"Then I have to tell him the truth."
If Xiao Yan couldn't understand, then there was nothing she could do.
If they understand, they can send some food and drink to the elderly, do their best and leave fewer regrets.
"What a fool!"
These two were whispering to each other, their heads almost touching. It was really...
Teng Wenfu disagreed and looked at Xiao Yan, but found that he was looking at Master Li with a complicated expression.
Mr. Li held a piece of walnut kernel in his hand, pinching it between his fingertips without eating it, and his expression was calm.
"No, you have to write me a prescription. Maybe there are so many descendants in the family that we can get some." Lu Qiniang said, "Also, you are not allowed to tell the truth to the old man. Hurry up and make up your mind——"
Doctor Hu said, "I only know how to heal, not act. Do you really want the prescription?"
"Yes!" Lu Qiniang gritted her teeth.
She knew that Doctor Hu had a stubborn temper and could not be forced.
"Then I'll write it to you, but I won't lie."
Dr. Hu believes that it is important to tell patients the truth about their situation and let them do what they want to do in their final moments.
He wrote down the prescription, put down his pen and was about to leave.
"Wait!" Lu Qiniang held his shoulder. "Since we're here, it's okay to look at one person or two people."
"Why, are you pregnant?" Doctor Hu looked at Lu Qiniang.
Lu Qi Niang: "...I have a dad!"
Ah Huang disagrees!
"Uncle Teng, please take a look at Uncle Teng. It seems to me that Uncle Teng's legs and feet are not in good condition, right, Uncle Teng?"
Teng Wenfu walked in an unnatural manner.
But if you don't look carefully, you can't see it.
Lu Qiniang thought to herself, the surname Tengshu is really bad, it hurts so much.
Teng Wenfu quickly said, "No need, I'm fine."
It's an old problem he's had for years.
When I was a child, I was bullied by several levels of people above me. I had to serve them, but I was also bullied and beaten by them at will.
My knees became injured when I was kneeling in the snow while taking the blame for someone else.
I have been looking for doctors and taking medicine for a long time, but to no avail.
Be patient and it will pass.
"It's okay, he doesn't want money." Lu Qiniang said, "Let him take a look."
Doctor Hu was so angry that his eyes almost popped out of his head. "Why don't I want money? If I don't want money, you have to repay me in the future."
I have never seen such a stupid person.
When helping others, shouldn’t we explicitly and implicitly express the value of our contribution?
But she ended up emphasizing that it didn't cost money, allowing others to take advantage of her?
"Just think of it as a good deed," Lu Qiniang tugged at his sleeve, "If Uncle Teng had money, would he still be serving others at his age?"
Teng Wenfu: “…”
This is going to kill him!
Is he not returning it because he is short of money?
Those who were eyeing his position were covetous. He used all his strength and relied on years of companionship to gain a foothold.
"Let me see. You usually do a lot of good things. I know everything."
"Let him take a look at you." Mr. Li also spoke.
Teng Wenfu had no choice but to agree.
Old Hu took his pulse and said, "It's an old problem. It won't kill you, and it can't be cured. Medication is only treating the symptoms, not the root cause. All medicine is toxic, so there's no need to take it."
Teng Wenfu thought to himself that this was quite true.
If it can't be cured, just suffer and put it in the coffin.
"I'll teach you a few moves. Do these when you're in pain. They can help relieve the pain. You can also do them when you have nothing to do."
After saying that, Doctor Hu actually sat on the chair and began to demonstrate to him.
"Uncle Teng, please sit down too and learn from me!" Lu Qiniang said enthusiastically.
Teng Wenfu had no choice but to follow suit.
"Do you remember?" asked Doctor Hu.
"I remember!" Lu Qiniang said, "If you want to be busy, go ahead and do your work. I'll teach Uncle Teng."
"Let's go." Doctor Hu carried his medicine box on his back and staggered out the door carrying the basket given to him by Lu Qiniang, which contained leftovers and ten eggs.
Lu Qiniang folded the prescription and whispered, "The medicine is really expensive. They say it costs three taels of silver a day... Is there a large family? How about sharing among several families?"
Even if we share the burden, it will be a heavy burden and there will always be people who are unwilling to do so.
She can understand.
Let Mr. Li decide how to handle this matter.
"I can afford it for three taels of silver." Master Li looked at her sad face and couldn't help but smile, "Teng Wenfu, accept it."
Even if it is not very useful, it is still a token of Lu Qin's love.
This made him feel a long-lost warmth and touch in his heart.
For the first time in many years, he was certain that the other party's concern was not because of his status, but simply because of him.
Because he is an old man and needs to be taken care of.
"Then remember to go back and eat!" Lu Qiniang's eyes brightened instantly.
"It's getting late, so we won't bother you anymore." Mr. Li stood up.
"Wait, wait, get the things."
Lu Qiniang handed Teng Wenfu a basket. "It's nothing fancy, but this is some shepherd's purse. Take it home and make dumplings or eat it in a hot pot. It's delicious. The toon fish for Uncle Teng is in there too. Let's try it all."
She had wanted to give him some sugar and eggs, but when she heard Mr. Li say that he could afford a day's medicine with three taels of silver, she suddenly felt that she had misjudged his financial situation.
I would be embarrassed to be laughed at.
"Oh, wait!" Lu Qiniang's eyes suddenly lit up, "There's something good!"
She went out in a hurry.
Seeing Daya return to her room, Xiao Yan whispered, "Your health..."
"Just barely surviving." Master Li sneered.
"Rest well. Take the prescription back and have someone take a look. If it's safe, you can try it."
"I'm aware of my physical condition," Master Li said. "I'm not afraid of death. I'm just afraid that after I die, my descendants won't be at peace."
Xiao Yan was silent.
He couldn't take up this topic even in the past, let alone now.
"Here I come," Lu Qiniang came in again, holding a mallard duck in one hand, "I really don't have anything good at home to bring back for you."
When Teng Wenfu saw the two ducks, he felt sick all over.
Can you boil water?
Don't bring up anything that is not related to the topic!
Lu Qi Niang said proudly, "Although it's no different from an ordinary duck, it has the meaning of being a tribute. If you take it back for your children to play with, it will be considered a novelty."
Teng Wenfu: “…”
People from the Imperial Household Department, hurry up and wash your necks and wait.
