A guide to getting rich

Chapter 5 To cure or not to cure?
The old lady looked embarrassed: "But I really don't have enough money, I can't afford your ginseng, can I use other medicines?"

Doctor Lu thought for a while, and then said: "You can use Radix Ginseng, although the effect is much worse, but it is better than ordinary tonics, and the price is also much cheaper."

The old lady looked overjoyed: "That's the way, then use this sand 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. Take a look. If there is no problem, I will go back to get the medicine."

Both the old lady and Mrs. Liu were illiterate, holding the prescription was like reading a bible, and they didn't know a single word.

Liu smiled dryly and handed the prescription back to Dr. Lu: "Doctor Lu, we are illiterate, and it's useless to read it. Just tell us how much it costs."

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 pay one tael on credit." The money for the two consultations, the money for the medicine has to be paid first."

"What? Four taels of silver?" When the old woman heard this, she jumped up in shock: "It costs four taels of silver to treat an injury? Isn't this a money grab?"

Dr. Lu didn't like to hear these words, and immediately said with a serious face: "In this case, then you can send him to the medical center in the town and see if there is any medical center willing to treat him for only four taels of silver."

The people who gathered outside to join in the fun didn't know who they were, and suddenly opened their mouths and shouted: "Everyone is injured like this. It only costs four taels of silver to heal. It's really not much. Last year, my cousin caught a cold and went to the town. The medical clinic above prescribed a few medicines, which cost a full three taels of silver, and Zhao Lan was injured like this, if he got it to the town, he would not be able to heal without dozens of taels of silver."

Dozens of taels?It might as well be more straightforward and kill her.

Seeing that Dr. Lu was about to leave after collecting the medicine box, the old lady rushed forward to hold him back, and said with a smile on her face: "Doctor Lu, I was the one who was talking nonsense just now, so don't care about it like an old woman like me."

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

"Treatment, treatment, of course." The old lady replied with a dry smile, her heart ached like a knife. She had saved all her life's money, and she was not willing to use the money for medical treatment when the third child was injured, but she never thought that it would cost her money now On the bodies of these two mourners, just wait and see, what was spent from my hands, I will get it back from you sooner or later.

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

If it was someone else, he might not be so fussy, but the old lady of the Bai family was famous in Huangtuo Village for her stinginess and shamelessness, so he had to guard against it.

Doctor Lu turned around 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 bandage her first before leaving?"

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

He turned and went back to Zhao's side and squatted down, checked her hands, the right arm was swollen and had obvious scars, he had seen this wound just now, thought it was the same as other wounds on his body, so he didn't examine it carefully , I didn't expect to have a broken bone. It's strange, how does Bai Zhi know that she has a broken bone?

He turned back to take the bandage and splint from the medicine box, and glanced coldly at the old lady and Mrs. Liu: "You can really do it. Fortunately, this injury is on the arm. If this stick hits the head, it is estimated that you will be injured by now." Already in jail."
