183 Xi Niangzi's difficulties
Originally, Su Qingluan was not sure if Xi Niangzi had encountered any difficulties, after all, according to Xi Niangzi's loud voice in the past, if she occasionally had an uncomfortable throat for a day or two, it could explain why she became silent.
But Su Qingluan remembered that Xi Niangzi had helped before, so she went to the cooking cake stall opposite to take a look.
But Xi Niangzi, who has always had a ruddy complexion, now has blue-black circles under her eyes, and her face has become a little pale, which is really difficult to explain with "throat discomfort".
When Xi Niangzi heard Su Qingluan's question, she raised her eyes and saw the girl's concerned eyes looking at her bluntly.
She has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, not to mention the side, but she still has a little bit of ability to see people. Whoever is sincere, who is hypocritical, just glance at it, unless the old fox who is particularly deep in Taoism, basically can't escape her eyes.
Because of this, Xi Niangzi could see at a glance that Su Qingluan was sincerely worried about her.
She forced herself to tear away a smile: "Hey, my cake stall is getting more and more prosperous, what's the problem......"
Although she tried her best to say that she was "okay", her gradually hoarse voice and somewhat reddened eyes did not look like "okay" no matter how she looked at it.
However, Xi Niangzi was obviously very unfit to deal with others, especially Su Qingluan, who was not even very familiar with her, to show weakness, so that fragile expression only appeared for a moment.
She rubbed her eyes fiercely, cleared her throat, and said in the loud voice: "It's okay!" What could it be? As he spoke, he couldn't help but stuff the oiled paper wrapped in the cooking cake into Su Qingluan's arms.
"Take it and eat it, don't give me any more money, or I'll be angry, auntie!" "threatened" Su Qingluan like this, she turned around and raised her voice again: "Eh! Delicious cookcakes! The more you chew it, the more fragrant it becomes!! ”
However, the scene just now made Su Qingluan still take it to heart.
She knew that according to Xi Niangzi's strong temperament, if she continued to ask like this, she might make the other party feel embarrassed. But looking at her appearance, there is indeed something unspeakable about the pain.
So she thought about it, took the cooking cake back for the time being, turned around and asked the thin monkey to help inquire about the difficulties encountered by Mrs. Xi.
Although the thin monkey has some unguarded mouths, he is also very communicative. Although the personality is a little out of tune.,Overall it's still a very warm-hearted person.。
So under the inquiry of the thin monkey, within a few days, Su Qingluan understood where Xi Niangzi's difficulties were.
Speaking of which, Su Qingluan had heard of it before - it was Liu Sheng, the male owner of Xi Niangzi's family, who accidentally fell from a height and was injured in order to catch Xi Niangzi.
Originally, everyone thought that he had broken his leg, but after many inquiries by the thin monkey, he found out that Liu Sheng had fallen into a paralyzed man!
However, originally Xi Niangzi and Liu Sheng walked the rivers and lakes, were willing to endure hardships, and they also had a lot of effort, so they still had some savings in the early years.
However, since Liu Sheng fell into a paralyzed man, in order to cure him, the silver was spent like flowing water, and now the family has been reduced to living in a small alley full of poor people on the outskirts of the county, and the place where they live is also a crooked shack.
It is said to be a wooden house, but it is moldy and leaking everywhere, which is not the same as a spacious and bright wooden house.
Su Qingluan couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "Does it take such a huge expense to treat the disease?" You can't be deceived, right? ”
She muttered in her heart: Wasn't the ancients just eating Chinese herbs to cure diseases, how much could it cost? It is not the sky-high cost of targeted drugs or surgery in modern medical treatment. Could it be that some kind of "god woman" and "god man" who danced the great god were fooled and lame, and spent a lot of money in vain?
Su Qingluan's mind flashed for a while with countless pictures of Xi Niangzi's family being cheated even worse, but the thin monkey over there shook his head: "I have not been deceived by it, but the consultation fees and medicine fees in Langzhong are also frighteningly high." ”
As a person born in the new era, and once a patient who had been suffering from illness for a long time, she knew that there could be no macro control in this era, so when she heard the sky-high medical fees, she subconsciously raised her blood pressure.
But she also understands that using her era to ask people in this era is harsh and unrealistic, but she still can't help but sneer, and sarcastically said: "I don't know which Xinglin master, such a sky-high asking price, it is better to switch to businessmen, we will definitely be ashamed." ”
Hearing the yin and yang weirdness of Sui Qingluan, the thin monkey showed a "You don't know this" look, and asked, "Do you know the 'Rejuvenation Hall'?" ”
Rejuvenation Hall? Su Qingluan was stunned: This name is really a little familiar!
After just three or four months, I needed to deal with the pharmacy and medical hall only a few times, Su Qingluan thought about it for a while, and remembered that I almost suffocated because I choked on eating balls in "Hongfu Building" before, and she used the "Heimlich First Aid Method" to rescue the "Lu San", and the doctor recruited by the shopkeeper Liang at that time was from the Rejuvenation Hall!
Thinking about it like this, Su Qingluan also remembered that the shopkeeper Liang had also spit out bitterness to her afterwards and said that Huichun Hall had always asked for a lot of money, but in order not to get into a lawsuit for human life, he could only pinch his nose and break his fortune to avoid disasters.
Although because Su Qingluan took the first step, he made the shopkeeper Liang spend a lot of money less in the follow-up, but as an "emergency visit fee", Huichun Hall actually collected ten taels of silver!
At that time, Su Qingluan gasped when she heard this outrageous price, and now that she thinks about it, it still makes her feel incredible: "I remembered!" The corners of her mouth twitched, "It's the Rejuvenation Hall that charged ten taels of silver for just one emergency visit!" ”
"Ten taels? This is not a prescription for needles, only a visit to the clinic to ask for a safe pulse, right? The skinny monkey pouted.
Su Qingluan thought about it for a while, indeed! Lang Zhong of the Rejuvenation Hall only said that the little young master called "Lu San" was frightened, his body was fine, and the prescription prescribed was also a common prescription for calming the nerves.
"So......" Su Qingluan asked cautiously, "If it's a treatment, will the price be calculated separately?" ”
The thin monkey nodded: "Xi Niangzi's family has been in the Rejuvenation Hall for half a year!" ”
Su Qingluan gasped when he heard this: Half a year young!
This is equivalent to Xi Niangzi treating her in a very expensive private hospital for several months in order to treat her family!
What's more, in this era, there is no medical insurance that can reduce the financial burden of seeing a doctor, that is to say, this expensive private hospital is 100% self-paying, and there is no reimbursement of the kind!
Su Qingluan instantly gasped: "Can't you go to another cheaper medical center?" ”
