Chapter 11 Hospitalization
Li Mingxuan took a deep breath and walked over. Tang Bei and the others had already stepped out of their father's arms, and six pairs of eyes looked at Li Mingxuan in unison.
"Little girl, I can't cure your father's leg."
"What?"
"How come?"
"Isn't this a hospital?"
"No, please heal my dad?"
Several people exclaimed in surprise in the house.
Tang Yue was very calm. Tang Shengkai's condition might have been delayed for a long time, but it shouldn't be incurable. Shouldn't it be cured by taking a few medicines?
Tang Yue didn't say anything, but kept staring at Li Mingxuan with her big eyes.
Li Mingxuan walked up to Tang Shengkai, pulled back the quilt covering his legs, and pointed at the wound.
"Your father was shot in the thigh. You brought him here too late, and now the bullet has grown together with the thigh bone. We don't have the technology to remove the bullet."
Tang Yue knew that her father's leg was hit by something called a bullet. However, she had never seen what that thing was, but she understood what Li Mingxuan meant.
Lin Cuicui's face was as pale as paper, and Tang Bei and the others were crying in despair.
Tang Shengkai quickly replied, "No, it's not as serious as the doctor said."
He pulled Lin Cuicui's hand and then quickly let go, pulling his sons to his side. Tang Yue was a little further away, and Tang Shengkai waved at her.
Tang Yue moved over and said, "The doctor just told Dad that he will have a limp when he walks in the future. Do you dislike Dad?"
Everyone's eyes lit up again. Tang Bei said the first words after arriving at the hospital, "My father won't die."
He looked at Li Mingxuan expectantly, seeking affirmation, but was also a little afraid of hearing a bad result.
Li Mingxuan nodded solemnly. "Except for the most serious injury on the thigh, the other injuries will heal slowly. The only problem now is that the inflammation all over the body is too severe. Once the inflammation subsides, everything will be fine."
Lin Cuicui breathed a sigh of relief. The three Tangbei brothers jumped for joy, and Tang Shengkai was also very happy.
"Look, the doctor said Dad is fine. Come on, let's go home."
"no."
Li Mingxuan was firm, "You need to be hospitalized for intravenous drips in your condition. You can't go home now."
Tang Shengkai shook his head. "Doctor, my condition isn't as serious as you say. I'll just go home and take some medicine."
As soon as Li Mingxuan opened his mouth, Tang Yue's soft voice came.
"Dad is disobedient. We are all scared of him. Let's put Dad in the hospital. We have money."
Tang Shengkai felt very uncomfortable when he saw the tears welling up in his little girl's eyes, but money? Where could their family have it?
"You're the real boss. Woohoo, why don't you tell me that you got this injury while fighting the Japanese?"
Tang Shengkai was startled, and Tang Dong rushed to say, "Grandpa, the team leader, brought two county officials to our house this morning. They said Dad killed the Japanese spies and was a hero.
I gave my dad a certificate and an 80 yuan bonus. Dad, we really have money, so you can treat him."
Li Mingxuan didn't expect that the stubborn man in front of him was injured because of killing a spy. Looking at the family's clothes and conversation, he knew their family situation.
"You have to be hospitalized. The IV drip won't cost much. Five days. Your inflammation will basically go away in five days. It'll only cost ten dollars in total."
Tang Shengkai was a little tempted after hearing this. If it could be cured for 10 yuan, it should be possible. He had already spent more than 10 yuan to see a doctor in town.
He looked at Lin Cuicui. Lin Cuicui had never expected it to be so cheap. She nodded excitedly and said, "Yes, we'll stay."
Li Mingxuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Tang Yue looked at Li Mingxuan suspiciously. She felt that he wasn't telling the truth. He was just doing it for her father's good, and she was very grateful to him.
It was already midnight when they finished the hospitalization procedures. There were many people in the ward. Since there were many family members, only Lin Cuicui was left to take care of Tang Shengkai. Several children followed Old Li and slept on the floor in the corridor with quilts from home.
It was late when they arrived, so they didn't let Old Li walk back alone in the dark. They decided to stay here for the night and go back tomorrow.
Tang Yue lay in bed and practiced quietly. She felt that the spiritual energy here was thinner, but it was probably because she was already proficient and her body had adapted to this kind of absorption and breathing, so her speed of absorbing spiritual energy became faster.
Tang Yue was very happy. She felt that this body seemed to be much better than her original body.
Tang Yueyun cleared three blockages in one night. After a careful examination, she found that there were still six blockages in her body. After these were cleared, she would be no different from a normal child and would no longer be a burden to her family.
Even before daybreak, family members began to stir in the corridor. Tang Yue stopped practicing, and Tang Bei and the others also got up. They gathered the bedding and placed it under Tang Shengkai's bed.
Tang Shengkai had been on an IV drip all night and was now soundly asleep. Lin Cuicui came out to check on the children. "You two should keep an eye on your dad. I'm going to go out and buy some food."
He was busy with the surgery when he arrived last night and didn't even have time to eat. His family doesn't have much, but he still troubles Uncle Li.
Tang Yue wanted to go with them, but Lin Cuicui wouldn't let her. She wasn't familiar with the place and was afraid she might lose the child.
Perhaps Tang Shengkai's condition had improved, and Lin Cuicui felt relieved. She looked much more cheerful and relaxed. She moved around less awkwardly than she had yesterday.
Tang Yue felt relieved and stopped following him. She walked around the wards and asked how much a five-day hospital stay would cost.
Li Mingxuan obviously knew that their family was too poor to afford medical treatment and was feeling pity for them, but since he had accepted a favor from them, he couldn't just keep it that way.
As I walked out of a ward, I saw two old ladies coming around the corner with kettles in their hands.
"Hey, I see your family is getting much better. They should be discharged in two days."
"Yeah, I'm almost thinking about going back. It's too expensive to stay here all the time."
"That's right. We've been staying here for six days and have already spent more than fifty yuan. If we stay a few more days, our family's entire monthly salary will be gone."
"Who says it isn't?"
Tang Yue did the math in her head: six days would cost over fifty yuan, so five days would have to be at least over forty yuan. Smacking her lips, that would be half of their family fortune.
She followed the two ladies forward. She had to go and take a look. Maybe the patient in their family was in a more serious condition.
She went over to take a look and heard someone nearby say that he had probably undergone some kind of appendectomy. Tang Yue didn't understand where the appendix was, but she knew the severity of his condition was probably similar to her father's.
When they returned to the ward, Tang Shengkai had already woken up, and he was obviously relieved to see Tang Yue and the others.
Tang Shengkai looked at Tang Yue with a smile, "Yueyue, come here quickly. Where have you been so early in the morning?"
Tang Yue leaned on Tang Shengkai, "Dad, are you feeling better? I just want to see what illnesses everyone has."
Tang Shengkai tried to carry her to the bed, but after two attempts, he still failed. Lin Cuicui picked up Tang Yue and put her in Tang Shengkai's arms.
Tang Shengkai instructed in a gentle voice, "Is Yueyue feeling unwell? Can the doctor come and check on Yueyue later? This place is not like home. Wherever Yueyue goes, can you call the brothers?"
Tang Yue shook her head and nodded. "Dad, I'm fine now. I don't feel any discomfort anywhere. Really, I don't need to see a doctor anymore."
She wrinkled her nose and said, "The medicine the doctor prescribed is too bad. Yueyue is fine now, so she doesn't need to take medicine anymore. Yueyue will follow her brothers when she goes out in the future."
Lin Cuicui handed a bun to Tang Yue, "You must be hungry, eat quickly."
Seeing that her brothers were eating cornmeal steamed cakes, and only she and her father were eating white bread, Tang Yue felt even more unhappy. But the buns smelled so good, she really couldn't help herself. What should she do?
Well, making money, I must think of a way to make money as soon as possible. No, I must clear all the blockages in my body tonight. She needs to get better quickly to make money.
Lin Cuicui bought five buns and two corn cakes for Old Li, and made an appointment with him to pick them up and take them back to the village at noon four days later, and then sent Old Li away.
Originally, Lin Cuicui wanted Tang Bei and the others to go back with her, but when she thought of the two unreliable relatives at home, Lin Cuicui felt a little worried. In addition, Tang Yue did not let them go, so she kept them.
Over the next few days, Tang Yue finally healed the blockage in her body and began to push forward with the Qi training level. However, the spiritual energy here was pitifully low, and Tang Yue always felt that it was just a little short.
Today, her father was about to be discharged from the hospital. She saw Li Mingxuan again who came for a follow-up check. After the examination, Li Mingxuan felt that the inflammation had subsided well, but he thought that if he stayed a few more days, he would be better. However, he knew that it was useless to persuade him.
"Well, you're recovering well. I'll prescribe some more medicine for you to take home."
"No need for a doctor, I'm fine the way it is now. No need to take medicine anymore. That stuff is too bitter."
Tang Shengkai looked at Li Mingxuan with a smile, and Li Mingxuan did not insist anymore.
"Okay, then you can go home after completing the discharge procedures."
"Hey, thank you, Doctor Li."
Lin Cuicui thanked him happily.
Li Mingxuan walked out of the ward, and Tang Yue followed him out at a trot. Noticing someone following him, Li Mingxuan turned around and saw that it was Tang Yue. Li Mingxuan smiled and squatted down.
He hasn't come to the ward for the past two days. After not seeing her for a few days, the little girl looks less withered and looks more lively and energetic.
"Little girl, what's wrong with you?"
