In front of the hospital bed, Li Hua held the account sheet she had written before and read aloud: "Diagnosis and treatment fees, fifty taels of silver; medical expenses, fifty taels of silver; food expenses, twenty taels of silver; escort fees, thirty taels of silver; accommodation fees, twenty taels of silver;..." The more Li Hua read, the more she felt guilty, and the more she thought about it, the redder her face became.
This is a troubled world full of disasters. As a doctor (at least she thinks so), she should save people from fire and water. In the past, it was common to save the elderly, weak, women and children. How had they ever collected so much money? But since grandpa learned about his mother's whole incident, he asked Li Hua not only to charge a fee for rescuing a young master, but also to double and triple the fee! With this silver knot, many unwarranted friendships will not arise.
Young Master Li Yubai was leaning on the hospital bed, watching the little woman's voice getting softer and softer, and her face getting more and more embarrassed. He found it very interesting. I thought that I had been practicing medicine for many years. If I had had this little woman's business acumen, wouldn't I have been prosperous long ago?
In the end, Li Hua concluded: "A total of one thousand taels of silver! When are you going to pay the money?" Li Hua could hardly say this last sentence.
Li Yubai was also in a dilemma. He spread his hands and asked, "As you know, I really don't have any money on me. How can I pay for it?"
Li Hua hesitated and came up with an idea: "How about you inform your family and settle the settlement on your behalf?"
Li Yubai smiled bitterly and shook his head: "To be honest, it is indeed inconvenient to notify!"
Looking at the other party's expression, Li Hua naturally thought that Li Yubai's family either died in the war or had been separated for a long time, so it was hard to ask more questions. Then he said helplessly and regretfully: "Then you can only work as a handyman in my hospital to pay off your debts!"
After hearing this proposal, Li Yubai readily agreed after thinking that he really had no place to stay.
——Pay your debts with your work!
Debt, debt, who owes whom? In the end, did this offset the thousand taels of silver he owed, or did it offset her tender heart?
