Chapter 791: Chapter 791: Are People More Important or Is Money More Important?

"Mom, Xiao Mao’s mother, she’s sick, and we don’t have enough money at home."

At these words, Mrs. Zhao and Captain Zhao were shocked for a moment.

They had previously thought that Brother Zhao’s wife was pregnant again; they had never anticipated that it was an illness.

"What illness?"

Brother Zhao didn’t get up, his eyes just red-rimmed, "The doctor said, he can’t diagnose it here, we need to take her to a major hospital for a check-up. I don’t have enough money, I have no other choice but to ask for help from Mom and Dad."

Captain Zhao hadn’t expected Brother Zhao’s wife to be ill either.

"Child’s mother, you take the money and go with Brother Zhao to take a look. If she needs to be sent to a big hospital, hurry and send her. If the money isn’t enough, call Laosan and ask to borrow some."

Captain Zhao immediately thought of a solution.

"I’ll go get the money."

After a moment of shock, Mrs. Zhao hurriedly went in to get the money, as well as Laosan’s phone number and address, and hurried out the door with Brother Zhao.

"Xiao Mao has gone out to play, when you work in the afternoon, call him to join you."

"Okay."

After Mrs. Zhao and Brother Zhao went to the town, they saw that Sister-in-law Zhao had woken up, but she wasn’t in good condition.

They hurried to catch a vehicle to the county town.

Mrs. Zhao had passed through the county town on the train, but she hadn’t stayed there long.

However, she had been to the Capital City, she didn’t know about the hospital, but she could ask.

Finally, when they had Sister-in-law Zhao taken for examination, they waited outside.

"Mom..." Brother Zhao’s face was full of tension. People from the countryside rarely visit hospitals; now that Xiao Mao’s mother is sick, he doesn’t know how much it will cost, his face clouded with worry.

"If there’s an illness, you treat it, what’s there to be afraid of? If there’s not enough money, borrow from Laosan, what’s more important, people or money? Or do you wish for Xiao Mao’s mother to die, unwilling to treat her, hoping to remarry? Even if you remarry, could a stepmother treat the previous children well?"

After scolding her son, Mrs. Zhao felt much relieved.

Brother Zhao stood to the side, his face filled with worry.

He didn’t, he didn’t wish for his own wife’s death.

It was just that he didn’t know how much it would cost.

All that money, would Laosan lend it to him?

Brother Zhao didn’t know, his heart wavering.

When they received the bill, the doctor said, "The patient’s condition requires immediate surgery. Our hospital cannot operate on this case, and the medical costs are not cheap. The family of the patient should be aware of this."

"What’s wrong with my wife?"

Doctor: "This lady’s condition cannot be delayed."

Mrs. Zhao grabbed the somewhat agitated Brother Zhao and asked with a forced smile, "Doctor, how much money should we prepare approximately? If we do the surgery, will she be cured and not suffer a relapse?"

The doctor was somewhat puzzled, this old lady actually knew about relapses, but his gaze fell on the watch on her wrist and on her attire; perhaps she was a literate old lady.

"This lady’s condition requires surgery. Without surgery, she’s only got about a year left. If she undergoes surgery, and is well taken care of, she could be fine for ten or twenty years. As for the medical costs, it will be in the thousands; as long as she is well cared for, there’s basically no chance of a relapse."

What?

Thousands?

Last year selling grains, pigs, and chickens, the family had an income of two hundred.

Where could they find that much money?

"Doctor, please help us contact the hospital, we don’t understand these things."

The doctor was still very approachable, "It’s getting late now, let the patient stay in our hospital for one night. Tomorrow, I’ll help you arrange the transfer for surgery. If Elder Yu hasn’t left yet, he could perform the surgery."

"Thank you, doctor."

After leaving the doctor’s office, they went to the patient’s room.
