Chapter 5 To Cure or Not to Cure?

The old lady looked embarrassed: "But I really don't have enough money in my hands. I can't afford your ginseng. Can I use other medicines?"

Doctor Lu thought for a while, and then said, "You can use ginseng. Although the effect is much worse, it is still stronger than ordinary tonics, and the price is much cheaper."

The old lady looked overjoyed: "That's okay, then use this ginseng."

Dr. Lu took out a pen and paper from the medicine box, and quickly wrote a prescription for the old lady to read: "This is a prescription for Zhao Lan, look at it, if there is no problem, I will go back to get the medicine."

The old lady and Mrs Liu were both illiterate, and holding the prescription was like reading a book from heaven, and they didn't even know a word.

With a dry smile, Liu Shi handed the prescription back to Doctor Lu: "Doctor Lu, we are illiterate, and we can read it for nothing. Just tell us how much it is."

Dr. Lu took the prescription, raised his eyebrows and glanced at the reluctant old woman, and said slowly, "One tael for consultation, three taels for medicine, a total of four taels of silver, if you are really inconvenient, you can temporarily owe one on credit. For the two consultation fees, the medicine must be paid first."

"What? Four taels of silver?" The old woman jumped in shock when she heard this: "It will cost four taels of silver to treat an injury? Isn't this stealing money?"

Doctor Lu didn't like to hear these words, and immediately said with a sullen face: "If this is the case, then you can send people to the medical center in the town and see if there are any medical centers willing to accept them for only four taels of silver."

I don't know who the crowd was outside to join in the fun, suddenly opened their mouths and shouted: "Everyone is hurt like this, it can be cured with only four taels of silver, which is really not that much. Last year, my cousin contracted the cold and went to the town. The hospital I went to prescribes a few medicines, and it cost a full three taels of silver. Zhao Lan has been injured like this, and if I get it to the town, I won’t be able to cure it if I don’t have a few dozen taels of silver.”

Dozens of two? It might be better to simply point and kill her.

When the old lady saw that Doctor Lu had collected the medicine box and was about to leave, she hurried forward and pulled him, and said with a smile: "Doctor Lu, I just said nothing, so don't care about me like an old woman."

Doctor Lu didn't bother to bother with her, so he just looked sideways at her and asked, "Is this person cured or not?"

"Cure, cure, of course." The old lady responded with a dry smile, feeling distressed like a knife. She had saved money all her life, and even when the third child fell, she was not willing to take out the money for treatment, but she didn't expect that it would cost her money now. On the bodies of these two mourning stars, wait and see, I will get them back from you sooner or later.

Doctor Lu nodded: "Okay, then I'll go back to get the medicine, and you have the money ready."

If it was someone else, he might not care so much, but the old lady of the Bai family is shameless, which is famous in Huangtuo Village, and he can't help it.

Doctor Lu turned to leave with the medicine box on his back, but Bai Zhi rushed forward to stop him: "Doctor Lu, my mother's hand is broken, can you wrap her up before leaving?"

Doctor Lu was taken aback for a moment, did he break his hand? He just didn't notice it.

He turned around and squatted down by Zhao's side, and checked her hands. The right arm was swollen and had obvious scars. He had just looked at this injury and thought it was the same as the injury on other parts of the body, so he didn't pay attention to it. , I didn't expect it to be broken. Strange, how did this girl Baizhi know that it was broken?

He turned around to take the bandages and splints from the medicine box, and glanced coldly at the old lady and Mrs. Liu: "You guys can really do it, but luckily this injury is on your arm. Already in jail."
