Chapter 703 Artifact Upgrade (Part 2)
Lu Hua was in pain and conflicted. He didn't know whether to keep the medicine bag in his hand or return it.
Ruan Qi simply stuffed the medicine bag into her arms.
"You don't have to pay for the medicine, just take it with peace of mind."
Lu Hua was stunned by her words: "No, I don't have to pay? But 700,000 or 800,000..."
"It's not that expensive." Ruan Qi's eyes curved. "Seven hundred thousand or eight hundred thousand is the price of a whole root of wild ginseng, and the wild ginseng used in the medicine is only a dozen grams. Yinyin is young and weak, and she can't be nourished. We can't give her too nourishing medicine."
After hearing this explanation, Lu Hua felt relieved, but she was still a little worried: "Miss Ruan, besides wild ginseng, are there any other expensive herbs in this medicine?"
"There are some, but the dosage is not much." Ruan Qi answered truthfully, "A week's supply of medicine costs about 10,000 yuan."
Ten thousand yuan a week is also unaffordable for ordinary families.
But Lu Hua accepted it well.
Compared with Li Yinyin’s previous medical expenses, ten thousand yuan a week is already a small amount.
As long as she works a few more jobs and saves a little, she should be able to afford this price.
Lu Hua silently encouraged himself in his heart, and at the same time said to Ruan Qi: "I can afford ten thousand yuan. Miss Ruan, can you give me a bank account number so that I can transfer the medical expenses to you..."
"I told you, you don't have to pay." Ruan Qi helplessly interrupted Lu Hua, "My sect has a tradition of providing free medical consultations every year. Just treat this as my own."
Lu Hua: "But, but Li Ming..."
"Li Ming?" Ruan Qi raised an eyebrow. "What happened to Li Ming?"
Lu Hua looked at Ruan Qi's bright eyes, feeling extremely guilty. "Miss Ruan, Li Ming treated you so well. I can't take your medicine for free anymore. My family has already been very sorry for you. If I don't spend a penny on you, my conscience will be uneasy."
Lu Hua is an ordinary person. She has little knowledge and the entire focus of her life is on her daughter.
Before, in order to pay for her daughter's surgery, she would hide Li Ming's whereabouts against her conscience; now, for the sake of her conscience, she would grit her teeth and bear the high medical expenses of 40,000 yuan a month by herself.
Lu Hua's values are not very positive, but he is not a bad person either.
After all, she was just an ordinary mother who wanted her daughter to survive.
Lu Hua looked at Ruan Qi with a guilty look in his eyes, but his attitude was very firm.
She didn't want to take Ruan Qi's medicine for nothing.
Seeing her tough attitude, Ruan Qi took a step back and said, "Since you want to pay, then pay in installments."
"In installments?"
"Yes." Ruan Qi nodded with a smile. "I made a preliminary estimate. Given Yinyin's physical condition, if there are no accidents, she should be able to recover completely in half a year. Half a year is six months, and the monthly medical expenses are 40,000 yuan. Six months is 240,000 yuan. I can arrange a six-year installment plan for you, with no interest. Just pay me 40,000 yuan per year."
Lu Hua didn't expect that he could pay in installments. He was stunned. "Is this possible?"
"Of course I can. Now even Taobao and JD.com can do installment payments, so why can't I?" Ruan Qi said, pulling out a notebook from her bag and slowly starting to write, "The installment period is six years, with annual payments of 40,000 yuan, and there's no limit on the repayment period... I'm done, here it is."
Lu Hua was forced to accept this very informal installment contract.
She looked at the content on the contract that looked like playing house, opened her mouth, and was about to say something, but Ruan Qi raised her hand to interrupt her.
"Ms. Lu, if you want me to continue treating Yinyin, then don't bother with the medical expenses anymore. Li Ming is Li Ming, and Li Yinyin is Li Yinyin. Li Ming harmed me and committed a crime, so he deserves to go to jail, not a day less. But Li Yinyin is my patient, and as a doctor, I will treat all my patients equally, regardless of grudges. Ms. Lu, do you understand?"
Lu Hua's eyes turned red and he nodded vigorously.
"Miss Ruan, it's Li Ming and I who are sorry for you. When Li Ming is released from prison, I will bring him along to kowtow and apologize to you. If you don't mind, I will serve you like a slave for the rest of my life!"
Ruan Qi smiled and waved her hand. "You don't have to work like a slave, just take care of Yinyin. Of course, if you have time, Ms. Lu, you can vote for me online. Weibo has been doing some celebrity rankings lately, and everyone's fans are so excited. Hey, the internal competition is really intense. Ms. Lu, do you have Weibo?"
The topic spanned too broad a range, and Lu Hua was a little overwhelmed: "Weibo... I, I have..."
Ruan Qi: "That's perfect. Quick, open Weibo and I'll send you the voting tutorial."
…
Ruan Qi stared at Lu Hua as he voted for her, and then left in Lu Hua's dazed gaze.
On the way back to the hotel, the system, which had been silent for more than a month, suddenly made a tinkling sound that made my blood boil.
"!" Ruan Qi's hand trembled and the phone almost fell.
She quickly turned off her phone, closed her eyes, and hurriedly entered the system with her mental power.
"What's going on?" the little girl rushed in hurriedly. "Why did the system suddenly upgrade?!"
Bai Li was smiling non-stop at the crystal column that was accumulating faith points. When he saw the little girl come in, he immediately waved to her.
"Girl, come and see!"
Ruan Qi ran over immediately, and was stunned when he saw the faith value in the crystal column.
"Why did it suddenly increase so much? Wasn't it still a long way from the upgrade a few days ago?"
"This is all thanks to the Lu Hua family." Bai Li smiled and stroked his beard. "You brought Li Yinyin back from the brink of death and even reduced her medical expenses. Lu Hua's gratitude to you has reached its peak, and it has been transformed into faith."
Ruan Qi opened her eyes wide in shock. She didn't expect Lu Hua to be so grateful to her.
"Grateful... can it be exchanged for so many Faith Points? Then why am I still in the entertainment industry? Can't I just stick to my roots as a doctor?"
Ruan Qi had always loved studying medicine. If it weren't for her life, she would be sitting in her master's Chinese medicine hospital, wearing a white coat and seeing patients, instead of acting in the entertainment industry.
If curing illnesses and saving lives can earn her more faith than acting, then she might as well...
Ruan Qi was about to make a move, but Bai Li raised his hand and patted her on the head.
"What are you dreaming of? Do you think Faith is like cabbage, something you can just get when you want it?"
Ruan Qi covered her head: "But Lu Hua's faith is worth so much..."
"Lu Hua's family is just an exception," Bai Li explained to her unhappily. "There are only a few cases of Li Yinyin's blood disease in the entire country. And even if you gain a lot of Faith Points from curing illnesses and saving lives, how many can you cure in a day? Don't let yourself die of overwork before you have accumulated a hundred years of life!"
