"If you can't accept it, then leave..."
The doctor started asking people to leave.
The old woman was extremely anxious when she heard this.
"Doctor, we can wait, as long as you can cure my son."
The old woman pleaded tearfully.
The doctor, upon hearing her words, then spoke again.
"Treating this disease requires more than a little money."
“We have money.” The old lady took out several tens of yuan from her pocket.
The doctor was secretly delighted, but pretended to be calm and shook his head.
"A few dozen yuan isn't enough; this amount of money can only buy medicine for half a month."
Hearing that it was so expensive, the old woman became very anxious.
She then thought of the treasures she had previously found on Qin Xiang.
There were jade pendants, bracelets, and gold jewelry inside...
She'd take these things to the black market to exchange for money.
Wouldn't that cover the cost of the son's treatment?
But where is the black market in this area?
Seeing the old woman's appearance, the doctor guessed that she must have something in her hand.
She had treated many people before and knew how some people reacted.
"If you have other items, you can use them to offset the cost."
Hearing the doctor's words, the old lady was overjoyed. She took the item out of her inner pocket.
"These jade pendants and gold jewelry, what do you think? If they are suitable, we can use them to cure it."
The doctor's eyes lit up when he saw those things.
Over the years, she has seen her share of things. These pieces of jewelry are not cheap, and the gold in them probably weighs several tens of grams.
Several tens of grams, that's worth a lot of money.
Unexpectedly, this mother and daughter, dressed in shabby clothes, turned out to be a prime target.
The doctor pretended to be hesitant until the old woman knelt down and begged her, at which point she finally agreed.
"Since that's the case, then I'll agree. I wouldn't have agreed if I hadn't pitied you. These things aren't as precious as money and food these days..."
Upon hearing the doctor's words, the old woman repeatedly expressed her gratitude.
The doctor began examining the mentally challenged son, then took him into an inner room. After about twenty minutes, the doctor came out, and the mentally challenged son followed him out.
After a while, the doctor started prescribing medicine.
"Take this prescription once a day for now, and come back for a check-up after a month..."
The doctor then prescribed them a month's worth of medicinal herbs.
The old woman was overjoyed when she saw the large bag of medicinal herbs. She thanked the doctor repeatedly.
After the old woman and her mentally challenged son left, the doctor looked at the items on the table and smiled smugly.
Actually, the prescription she gave was just a regular one. It wouldn't have much effect, but it wouldn't kill anyone either.
All these medicinal herbs cost less than five yuan in total.
She was hoping that the old woman would come back with her mentally challenged son. Then, she could trick them again, saying that she would add some expensive medicinal herbs, and the old woman would give her more money.
The old man has been looking for work on the street for the past few days, but he hasn't found anything.
After a long day, when he arrived at the rented room, he saw the old woman brewing medicine for her son and asked her happily.
"Have you found that amazing doctor?"
The old woman nodded.
"This is the prescription the doctor wrote. He said that it would be effective if I took it for a month."
The old man was very happy to hear what the old woman said.
It would be wonderful if his son could regain his abilities.
