Chapter 28: Condition
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
At noon, Hua Shu and Tang Fan had just finished their lunch when He Ling and the others came back.
Among the three children, He You and He Xu’s expressions were vague. He Bin was still as quiet as usual, but it was clear that he was a little gloomy, while He Ling’s expression was clearly not too good.
“Auntie He, you haven’t eaten yet, right? I’ll go make some more food.” Hua Shu did not ask any more questions. She poured a cup of warm water for each of them and then turned around to go to the kitchen.
Even if they didn’t say anything, Hua Shu knew that it was definitely because of the medical expenses.
She simply fried a red vegetable and mixed a dandelion with it. In addition, He Ling had prepared some dishes this morning. Although it was just a few simple dishes, it was enough for the few of them to have a meal.
After eating, they washed their hands and faces and went to take an afternoon nap. Hua Shu and He Ling sat in the living room under the electric fan. They didn’t feel sleepy at all.
Because of her cultivation, Hua Shu felt refreshed. Even if she did not sleep for a few days and nights, she would not feel tired. On the other hand, He Ling was worried.
“Auntie He, How was your visit to the Qinghe Hall today?” Hua Shu was the first to break the silence.
He Ling sighed lightly with a worried expression and said, “Today’s luck is pretty good. Originally, Doctor Fang was attending to patients every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Because it was the dragon boat festival yesterday, he moved his schedule to today. We went there just in time, but for Little Bin’s illness…”
She sighed before continuing, “Doctor Fang’s medical skills are indeed good. Little Bin’s heart disease can be treated, but the treatment cycle is very long. Some of the medicinal herbs required are very expensive. Not to mention taking them for a long time, I can’t even afford one or two doses of medicine.”
“Can Dr. Fang really cure Little Bin’s illness?” Hua Shu was a little curious. After all, no matter how good Dr. Fang’s medical skills were, he was just an ordinary mortal. She had heard many stories about how terrifying congenital heart disease was. Even she, an immortal cultivator, had to learn alchemy to have a way. How high of a medical skill did an ordinary person need to be to be able to cure him?
“Dr. Fang said that Little Bin’s illness has already begun to deteriorate. If he wants to be completely cured by traditional Chinese medicine, he will need to use precious medicinal herbs to recuperate for many years. After eight or nine years of recuperation, he should be able to recover completely. However, the medicinal herbs required are too expensive. Even an ordinary wealthy family would not be able to afford the long-term medical expenses, let alone us.” He Ling’s brows furrowed, and her face was filled with worry.
Hua Shu pursed her lips lightly. The ginseng she picked today was one of the so-called precious medicinal herbs. Based on its value, the long-term expenditure of eight to nine years was really not an ordinary amount of money. It was no wonder that even an ordinary rich family could not afford it.
Perhaps it was because she was under too much pressure, He Ling seemed to have forgotten that Hua Shu was still a twelve-year-old child and poured out all the frustrations in her heart to her.
“Little Bin’s condition isn’t very good. If we want to see quick results, we can only do a heart replacement surgery. However, Little Bin is too young. Not only can we not perform the surgery, but we also can’t afford the cost of the surgery. Right now, I really don’t know what to do.” He Ling’s eyes reddened, and she could not help but shed tears at this moment. “It’s not just Little Bin. Little You and Little Xu’s condition isn’t good either. Doctor Fang said that they weren’t born this way, but that their illness delayed the treatment and caused them to become blind and deaf. If we don’t treat them earlier, their condition would deteriorate. Their illness needs to be treated as soon as possible. I really… What should we do?”
He Ling knew that He Xu’s kidney and He You’s heart problem was alarming. However, she didn’t know that their deafness and blindness were caused by their illness.
