The heart that Qi Zhong and Gu finally let go of it. Gu kept wiping tears and kept saying thank you in his heart.
After reading it, the old doctor wiped his long beard, "Fortunately, it was urgent to deliver it. If it was a moment later, it might be gone." Qi Zhong heard that he was sweating all over, and even his back was almost gone.
It's soaked.
The old doctor looked at their embarrassment and looked them from head to toe, "Do you have any money?" He suddenly asked, asking very straightforwardly.
Qi Zhong was stunned and didn't know how to answer. He rubbed his hands, "Is the medical fee?"
The old doctor sat down and picked up the pen, "Not counting, there are medicines. The child is so ill that he is not sure about it, so he needs to use good medicine. This medicine will cost several dollars. If you want to take it well, there will be no one.
A silver cost 10 or 8 taels of money won’t be done.”
When Qi Zhong and Gu heard this, their face suddenly changed. Ten taels, not to mention ten taels, their family now has no one tael.
The couple looked at each other and saw despair and helplessness. Where did they find so much money? Even if they sold the land, they would not be much. At most, they would be worth three taels of silver.
It’s not considered a robbery, and it’s not necessarily the cash that someone has taken out. It’s easy to borrow a few hangs of money, but so much, how can they borrow it?
Qi Zhong and Gu took Qi Pengyuan hurried back. The money they brought with them was just paying the medical fee. Not to mention the medicine, even the medicine residue could not be bought. They asked for a long time.
The old doctor knelt down. Seeing that they were so pitiful, the old doctor gave them a piece of medicine. After taking it, Qi Pengyuan's breathing was smooth and he picked up his life, but the coughing sound was still intermittent.
stop
Gu was both distressed and sad. The old doctor was right. This medicine could only hold Qi Pengyuan's life. If he didn't take other medicines, he would probably not be able to stand it. Qi Zhong wiped his face.
I sold my land, including the wheat that was about to be harvested in the field, and sold it for a total of three taels and two to pay, but this was still much different from what the doctor said about the medicine.
He held the silver in his hand and kept sighing. Gu just cried. Sometimes Qi Pengyuan would open his eyes, and his eyes were no longer as agile as before.
Qi Zhong could only take the money to the clinic first, grab three pieces of medicine, and give it to Qi Pengyuan first when he came back. It was better after taking it, but once the medicine was stopped, it was no longer possible. The doctor said,
At least a dozen pieces of medicine should be taken to be good, and even if it is good, it must be well maintained.
But these three pieces cost nearly three taels of silver, so let alone the ones behind them. Where do they need to find money?
The old hens and eggs that were laid in Lieutenant General Qi sold out all the eggs, and the ones that could be sold at home were sold out. Now there is only one house with a broken house with only four walls, and all the valuable things have been cleared, but
Even so, it was only enough to get one medicine. This medicine was given to Qi Pengyuan again. As soon as he took it, Qi Zhong was worried about the rest of the family. All the remaining money was given to Qi Pengyuan for treatment, and
There is nothing extra. Fortunately, there are still rice in the family, so you can barely eat some porridge.
Qi You'er saw it and was anxious. All she could sell at home was sold. Where to find the money below? My father said that it might cost at least six or seven taels. She just regretted that she was still young.
You can't make money for your family. Even if you make money now, you don't know where to start.
The poor family really can't make up some money, so Qizhong can only bite the bullet and borrow from each household, but everyone in this village is not easy to live. Besides, it's not a relative or a good person, but there are more people.
I just borrowed it, but I couldn't borrow it, and some people were even afraid that they wouldn't repay it if they borrowed it. After all, Qizhong is sold now, and the family's food and clothing will become a problem in the future, so I don't want to pay back anything.
Money is here.
So Qi Zhong was busy for a day and said a lot of good things, but he only had less than a hang of money if he could borrow. He walked to Qi Da's house and wanted to go back several times, but in the end he was still tough and silenced.
He knocked on the door with his face.
He knocked for a long time, but no one opened the door inside. He continued to knock without giving up. The more he knocked, the more anxious he became, and sweat also appeared on his forehead.
