Chapter 553 Spend Money
"And the people who take care of Commander Shi must tell him in detail about Commander Shi's usual condition. I remember everything about Commander Shi's condition this week, and I'll tell you now. From now on, Madam Qi will have to go to the troops once a week." Qiao Nan smiled brightly, as if she could finally get rid of such a troublesome job and have free time.
"Madam Qi is also from Pingcheng, right? Comrade Qiu happens to be in the army. You two can take care of Commander Shi. Not only is it reassuring for everyone to be with you, but most importantly, it will be convenient for you. In this way, with you two by Commander Shi's side to take care of him, Shi Qing and I can study well."
"Every, every week?" Qi Minlan was stunned and looked directly at Qiu Chenxi.
Qiu Chenxi secretly shook her head at Qi Minlan, indicating that she did not understand Shi Peng's situation.
After her uncle Shi Peng returned to the army, she had never contacted him except when she needed his help. How could she know about her uncle's condition?
Qi Minlan took a deep breath and looked at Qiao Nan with suspicion: "Really? It's so troublesome. As a younger sister, I really don't understand as well as you do. This time, you should go with me and explain the situation to the military doctor. Just show me how to do it. I don't know what to do next."
Her brother's health has always been like this, it keeps coming back and he can't get better.
If it weren't for her brother's poor health, he wouldn't have been stuck in this position and unable to get promoted, causing her to have no chance to become the leader's wife, let alone the leader's sister.
For so many years, her brother has been alone in the army, and there has never been anyone around to take such good care of his aunt.
If her brother's illness was really that troublesome, why had she not heard about it before and why had it happened now? She didn't believe it!
"That's fine, let's all go together." Qiao Nan replied with a smile, not showing any guilt at all: "Chief Shi, Shi Qing, we're leaving."
Shi Qing frowned. This was not the case at all. How would she explain the lie to the military doctor later? Given her aunt's personality, if she knew that this was a lie, she would probably be in big trouble.
Shi Peng squeezed Shi Qing's hand, which was supporting him, and told Shi Qing to walk forward with confidence.
"Military doctor, Commander Shi is here for a follow-up visit. You asked me to observe Commander Shi's condition this week, so I'll report to you here." Qiao Nan was the first to speak after entering the infirmary. After speaking halfway, she looked at Qi Minlan, as if asking Qi Minlan to listen carefully and learn well, because she would be the one to talk to him next time. "Commander Shi's body is weak this week. He needs to get more sun. He is prone to dizziness. He can't stand for too long and must drink warm water. But he occasionally sweats profusely and has cold sweats. Look, based on these conditions, what should we pay attention to?"
"Hmm..." The military doctor hesitated.
The military doctor's expression could easily lead Qi Minlan and Qiu Chenxi to misunderstand that Shi Peng's condition had worsened, and then he would have to think carefully before prescribing the right medicine for Shi Peng.
"Military doctor, your commander Shi had an operation before, and the wound has not healed completely. Although the conditions in the army are a bit harsh, Commander Shi has relatives in Pingcheng. Do you want to give Commander Shi some food supplements? Ginseng, deer antlers, if you really need them, don't worry, Madam Qi and Qiu Chenxi's family conditions are very good and can afford it. The most important thing is that you must find a way to make Commander Shi's body get better as soon as possible. As for other treatments, we will cooperate with you."
As soon as Qiao Nan finished speaking, Qi Minlan and Qiu Chenxi's faces turned green.
Ginseng, deer antler, these names are not unfamiliar to them, and the Qiu family also has a little stock. But these are not cheap!
Especially for someone like Shi Peng, if he really needed to use this kind of thing, it would definitely not be done once or twice. If he needed to take it for a long time, then Shi Peng would become a bottomless pit. No matter how well-off the Qiu family was, they couldn't afford to support such an expensive brother-in-law.
"Oh, by the way, I heard that bird's nests are good things. Not only women can eat them, but men can eat them too. They are good for nourishment. Among bird's nests, blood nests seem to be the best, right?"
"Yes." The military doctor was dumbfounded as Qiao Nan led him around. He answered Qiao Nan's questions in the same way: "But blood bird's nests are expensive. The price is several times that of ordinary bird's nests, and I heard it's still rising."
"Oh, so that's the case. It doesn't matter. As long as Chief Shi can recover, blood is not a problem, right, Madam Qi?" Qiao Nan said generously. After all, it was not her family's money that was spent.
"..." Qi Minlan closed his mouth and was almost choked by his saliva.
Money is not a problem?
Money is the biggest problem!
Blood bird's nest, even for her, she can't eat ordinary bird's nest often, that thing is too expensive, one piece, just one bowl, costs nearly a hundred yuan, is this eating bird's nest? She is clearly eating money!
She bought her brother something that she herself was reluctant to eat. Is Qiao Nan crazy?
Qiu Chenxi didn't know about Shi Peng's situation, but she knew all the things Qiao Nan had quoted. Every one of them was extremely expensive. For example, if the ginseng was old and in shape, it could be sold at a high price.
When they thought of Shi Peng who was in the army, the Qiu family was his only relative.
If Shi Peng was not feeling well and really needed something expensive, the Qiu family might have to spend a lot of money. For a moment, Qiu Chenxi felt so distressed. She had never tasted these good things, and yet she was giving them to a stranger and spending all her money on him.
As for why Qi Minlan and Qiu Chenxi never thought about getting the money back from the Shi family that the Qiu family spent on Shi Peng, it was because the Shi family had never been rich. They had finally saved some money, but with Shi Peng's frequency of going to the hospital, how could they save it?
Therefore, most of the money that the Qiu family spent on Shi Peng was wasted and would never be recovered.
Qi Minlan and Qiu Chenxi both looked extremely ugly.
After a long while, Qi Minlan finally spoke: "These things are not easy to get. If my brother really needs them, we must get them. How about this, Qingqing, you and Chenxi stay in the army and take good care of your father. I will go back now and try to see if I can get these things. Since I have to get them, I will definitely get some good ones so that your father can have a good rest and try to get better soon. But you also know that the better the things, the more expensive and hard to find. So it may take a little longer. When I have news, I will inform you. Chenxi, be good, don't cause trouble for your uncle, take good care of your uncle, understand?"
