Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

Chapter 52 My Family is Rich
My third uncle accompanied me to the hospital.

Just then, the old doctor that Dr. Huang had mentioned came over.

Bai Jing immediately stepped aside and let someone examine her mother.

The older doctor's expression grew increasingly grim as he took the pulse.

He finally sighed and withdrew his hand.

"Take good care of yourself, or it will shorten your lifespan." Upon hearing this from the old doctor, Bai Jing's eyes immediately welled up with tears.

That's right. In her past life, her mother died in her early sixties, so in this life, she absolutely cannot let her mother die early.

"Doctor, we will do whatever you say, and we will make sure my mother gets better." Bai Jing was extremely anxious.

Seeing her thin, frail appearance pleading with him, the old doctor couldn't bring himself to refuse.

"Health-preserving items are never cheap. Young lady, can your family afford it?"

This is the main reason why wealthy people, who eat gold and wear silver, still live long lives.

Poor people can't afford good food; they're lucky if they can fill their stomachs.

"Yes, yes, just prescribe the medicine. I have money, I have money." Tears streamed down her face as Bai Jing took out a wad of cash from her cloth bag.

There were both small and large amounts, totaling around a hundred yuan.

She's not stupid; she knows the principle of not flaunting wealth. She deliberately took out this money, saying, "My dad is a veteran, he gets a severance pay, and we really have money."

Bai Jing cried.

Luo Chunhua and Uncle Bai's eyes also reddened.

"Yes, doctor, you must cure my sister-in-law's illness. My brother is rich."

With Uncle Bai joining the team, the old doctor became more unrestrained in prescribing medicine.

"Okay, I'll definitely help the patient recover in half a month." The old doctor had seen too many patients who were delayed because they couldn't bear to spend money.

It's rare to find a family willing to give so much; he certainly won't let them down.

With the old doctor's promise, Bai Jing felt relieved.

Next, we need to arrange the surgery for tomorrow.

Dr. Huang didn't keep Luo Chunhua in the dark; after explaining the cause of her illness, he went out to prepare for the surgery.

After leaving the mother, daughter, and her third uncle behind, Bai Jing smiled and said to her mother, "Mom, don't worry, I'll stay with you tomorrow. Once you're better, we'll take good care of ourselves. When the paper mill starts hiring, I'll take the exam and then I'll give you the job. You'll be a city dweller like your third uncle."

She knew how much her mother disliked the village.

Naturally, I tried everything I could to make her happy.

As Bai Jing had hoped, Luo Chunhua smiled broadly, "Do you think you can call the shots in a factory? If you really pass the exam and get a job, then working hard will be the best way to repay your mother." After saying that, she patted her daughter's hand.

"As long as you are well, that's good for your mother."

Uncle San looked on with envy, "It's just that the two rascals are too young. If they were as ambitious as Xiao Jing, I would laugh myself awake at night."

"Look at what you're saying. Don't let Guangming and Guanghui hear this, or they'll come after you." Luo Chunhua's face also showed pride. Her daughter was truly amazing.

"They dare? I'll give them a good beating." Bai Quanshou had the fierce look of an old father disciplining his son.

Seeing that the two were talking so enthusiastically, Bai Jing said something and went out.

She didn't go anywhere else, she just went to see Dr. Huang.

She was still somewhat worried, after all, having surgery these days is no easy thing.

She should ask more questions; she didn't dare ask too many details in the ward earlier.

Dr. Huang was also a little curious when he saw Bai Jing arrive. "Did you come to see me for something?"

Bai Jing nodded, then voiced her concerns.

“What you’ve said are indeed problems in the medical field right now, but as you know, our country’s economy is limited, so we naturally try to save money wherever possible. If you’re not comfortable with that, you can use disposable tools, but they will be more expensive.”

That's right, Bai Jing has spoken out about the most worrying thing these days.

This is a problem that only came to light after the country made progress.

That is the spread of infectious diseases.

For example, the most common hepatitis B. The most effective way for the virus to spread is through blood, which results in everyone using medical supplies sparingly.

She could understand, but she didn't want her mother to be affected.

"That would be wonderful, but I hope it won't cause you any trouble, Dr. Huang?" She was worried that the doctor might become unfamiliar with the instruments he was using.

Dr. Huang smiled and said, "Don't worry, your family isn't the first to raise this issue, and I have confidence in my own skills."

After receiving Dr. Huang's assurance, Bai Jing felt relieved.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Dr. Huang." After saying that, she took out a crumpled piece of paper wrapped in red paper from her cloth bag and quietly placed it in Dr. Huang's hand.

"Dr. Huang, you're busy. I'll go back and prepare. You're fasting tonight, right? I'll go back and keep an eye on my mother."

There were two smaller ones wrapped inside the large red paper ball; Dr. Huang would understand the specific meaning behind it.

Before Dr. Huang could say anything, Bai Jingren ran out.

She took out a crumpled piece of paper from her hand; it was quite large.

When she opened it, she was also shocked. There were five large black ten bills on the outside, and then two small red paper packets inside, each containing twenty dollars.

"So much?" Dr. Huang's two assistants were also taken aback by Bai Jing's extravagant gesture.

"She's a filial child." Zhang Yao's fondness for Bai Jing deepened.

Wang Qianqian held two large black ten bills in her hand. "Dr. Huang, what do we do now?"

This was the first time she had ever seen someone so generous.

Dr. Huang smiled, then pointed to the large black cross in her hand, "She just wanted to put her mind at ease. Take this red envelope to the nursing station and give it to the head nurse, so she can take good care of her in the future."

After saying that, he took out two more bills. "These are for you two, ten yuan each. I don't need to tell you what to do with them, right?"

Doctors naturally accept red envelopes from patients, but it doesn't mean they're truly greedy; it's to put the patients at ease.

Some people feel that if you don't accept the doctor's treatment, you must not be treating the patient with care. They trust the doctor more after you accept the doctor's treatment.

"I'll take a look at these two later when I go to the operating room."

There are thirty left, and without a doubt, Dr. Huang kept them for himself.

She had received red envelopes before, but she always shared them with everyone and never kept any for herself.

Wang Qianqian and Zhang Yao understood Dr. Huang's intention.

After leaving, Bai Jing did not return to the ward immediately. Instead, she sent a red envelope in the system and went straight to the old Chinese medicine doctor.

The old Chinese medicine doctor was also getting ready to leave work. When he saw Bai Jing coming over, he was a little curious. "Why are you here? Did something happen to your mother?"

The old Chinese medicine doctor thought to himself, "This shouldn't be the case. Although the woman is deficient in health and has many ailments, she shouldn't be in such a bad state so quickly."

"No, doctor, you misunderstand. I just came to thank you." After saying that, she took out a red envelope.

The old Chinese medicine doctor's face immediately fell when he saw her. "Don't try that on me, or I won't treat your mother's illness." The old man was still very principled.

He's practiced medicine his whole life and encountered all sorts of people. That family clearly wasn't well-off; if he took their money, how could they possibly make a living?

Bai Jing didn't care about anything else. "Please accept it. It's not much, it's just a token of our family's appreciation." After saying that, she bowed and ran out.

Before the old Chinese medicine doctor could even shout, the person had vanished without a trace.

He had no choice but to take the money to the cashier and then transfer the money Bai Jing had left him to her mother's account.

The people at the toll booth were used to seeing him.

After making a joke, he deposited the money.

"Director Liu's family was quite generous this time," the nurse said with a smile after finishing her payment.

Director Liu, an experienced traditional Chinese medicine doctor, sighed, "They're all from the countryside, how much money could they possibly have? This patient will need long-term treatment in the future."

Upon hearing this, the nurse stopped teasing, because she knew how skilled Director Liu was. Since he had said that, the patient would probably have to take the medicine for quite some time.

Although Director Liu is kind, his own circumstances are not very good, so he can't help the patients even if he wants to.

"Alright, don't mention it if no one asks. If they do, just say I topped it up." Director Liu waved his hand and left the hospital with those words.

That night, Bai Jing stayed to keep her mother company, while her third uncle went back to his rented room.

He also said he would ask for leave tomorrow, but Luo Chunhua and Bai Jing didn't allow it.
