The provincial capital is more than 100 kilometers away from Jinning County, and it takes three hours to get there by car.
After Zhou Xilai got off the car, they broke up and went to visit his friends in the provincial capital, while Lin Qingqing took Zhou Zhuo to the provincial hospital for treatment.
When she went out today, she brought enough cash with her and planned to stay in the provincial capital with Zhou Zhuo for a few more days to get his illness thoroughly examined.
Hospitals these days are not as busy as they are in later generations because the air is good and people eat healthy, so fewer people get sick.
After registering and queuing up, it was soon their turn.
Zhou Zhuo was received by an old doctor named Zhu. After asking about Zhou Zhuo's basic condition, he suggested taking an X-ray first. He said that the hospital had just purchased a very advanced X-ray machine.
Lin Qingqing followed Dr. Zhu's advice and took Zhou Zhu to take an X-ray. Dr. Zhu looked at the film and said, "Your brother's illness is not caused by excessive psychological stress, but a severe concussion!"
Seeing that Lin Qingqing was young, the doctor didn't know that she was married and thought Zhou Zhuo was her brother.
Lin Qingqing was shocked when she heard this. Without bothering to explain, she hurriedly said, "Doctor, please take a closer look. My brother's illness is indeed caused by excessive stress."
Doctor Zhu shook his head. "You have to believe in science. Your brother has a subtle dent in his skull. I think it's from a blunt object, or maybe he's fallen on his head. Recall what kind of injury he's suffered."
Lin Qingqing shook her head. She didn't know Zhou Zhuo before, but Xue Guixiang said that his illness was caused by excessive stress. How could it be a concussion?
If it was a fall, Xue Guixiang would not have been unaware of it.
Could it be that Xue Guixiang deliberately concealed Zhou Zhuo's illness? But why did she do this, and what benefits would it bring to her?
I heard that she sold all the donkeys in her family to pay for Zhou Zhuo's medical treatment. Besides, she is Zhou Zhuo's biological mother and would never harm her son.
There must be a secret that she doesn't know about, and only Xue Guixiang can unravel this secret, but now is not the time to unravel the secret. She must cure Zhou Zhuo first.
"Doctor Zhu, I really can't remember. I just want to know if my brother's illness can be cured and if there's any chance of recovery."
Doctor Zhu pondered for a moment. "Your brother's condition is very serious. Currently, only conservative treatment is available. I can only tell you that the condition can be controlled to prevent further deterioration, but the possibility of recovering his memory is very small."
Lin Qingqing's face was pale. She had originally held high hopes for Zhou Zhuo's recovery, but now the doctor said that the possibility of his recovery was almost zero...
"Maybe a miracle will happen." Doctor Zhu continued, "I'll prescribe some Chinese medicine for your brother. Have him drink it on time. If his condition improves, come back to see me. If not, don't come."
At this point, the only option is to try every possible means. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, Lin Qingqing will not give up on treatment.
She took the medicine and took Zhou Zhuo to a hotel near the hospital.
When she left, she asked the village chief for a letter of introduction, and everything went smoothly when she checked into the hotel.
The hotel price is not low, it costs fifteen dollars a night, but the conditions are good, there is free breakfast in the morning and hot water in the evening.
But Zhou Zhuo's Chinese medicine needed to be boiled, and the hotel did not provide a stove, so she could only spend money to boil it at a stall outside and then bring it back for Zhou Zhuo to drink.
The first day passed like this.
The next day she was going to the city, so she made an appointment with the noodle stall owner and asked him to help her boil some medicine so that they could pick it up when they came back later.
When the boss heard that there was money to be made, he agreed readily.
