Next, they told him various rumors they had heard in the hospital over these days. It turned out that a patient's family member had offended some of the nurses a few days ago. Since most of the patients coming here were from rural areas, most people would use cooperative medical insurance to cover their expenses.

However, because that family had offended the nurses, the doctors prescribed medication that was not covered by the insurance the next day, despite being colleagues with the nurses. The family could only bear the additional costs themselves for this minor verbal altercation.

Therefore, people coming to this hospital didn't dare offend even a single nurse or cleaner due to the uncertainty of whether they had connections within the hospital. If they did have connections, wouldn’t it be disadvantageous for these patients That was why Bai Qiyue's parents scolded her when she argued with a security guard.

Moreover, after Bai Qiyue's argument with those nurses, September’s medicine had been changed the next day. They also heard from other patients that most of the medications prescribed on that day were not covered by cooperative medical insurance.

"Sigh..." Hearing their stories, Xiao Yu heaved a heavy sigh. When they heard Xiao Yu's sigh, they all turned to look at him, noticing that Xiao Yu had let go of Bai Jiumu’s wrist and was listening attentively.

Xiao Yu understood from their conversation that there wasn't much one could do even if they complained; the other party would claim it was for the patient's benefit and refuse responsibility if anything went wrong. Therefore, no matter how expensive the medicine was, you had to use it.

This kind of situation only involved medical ethics and didn’t affect any other aspects. Apart from improving the quality of doctors and nurses, there were no other solutions. That was why Xiao Yu sighed.

"How is Doctor Xiao"

"Xu, what's going on"

Hearing Xiao Yu’s sigh, they thought it had something to do with Jiumu’s illness and anxiously asked him about it.

“His condition has reached a very serious stage. It’s inconvenient for treatment here; we should transfer him to another hospital! Go to the capital city, where conditions are better!” Regarding Bai Jiumu's illness, he didn't have any good solutions now. Only by going to hospitals in the capital could they get sufficient kidney donors and even if they don’t undergo a transplant, traditional Chinese medicine would be more beneficial for his condition.

"This..." The entire Bai family looked at Bai Qiyue, waiting for him to speak; although Bai Qiyue hadn't returned home these years, he was considered well-versed in the outside world compared to them. Therefore, they hoped he could give an opinion.

"Follow Dr. Xiao's advice and go to the capital city!"

After hearing what Xiao Yu said, Bai Qiyue noticed everyone looking at him. He pondered for a moment before gritting his teeth and said firmly. Although he knew that the cost of seeking medical treatment in the capital would be astronomical, seeing his frail younger brother lying on the bed, he had to grit his teeth and agree.

"Qiyue, but... Going to the capital requires a lot of money! The money you sent back last time is almost gone..." Upon hearing Bai Qiyue's agreement, although they knew that the medical standards in the capital were excellent in every aspect, when they thought about the astronomical medical expenses, they fell into worry once more.

Although their eldest son worked outside and had been sending them money over the years totaling hundreds of thousands of yuan, they realized how much Bai Qiyue could earn despite his ability. They felt that even sending back 100 thousand this time was a strain on him. However, there was nothing they could do but ask their son.

"Haha, rest assured, dad and mom! I'll figure out the money!" Bai Qiyue said with feigned ease.

"Thank you, thank you big brother! You are September's benefactor; you're our family's savior!" The young woman quickly bowed repeatedly to show her gratitude upon hearing Bai Qiyue’s words.

She did not even give Bai Qiyue a chance to react because she was afraid that he would change his mind. Her husband’s illness had not only depleted their family’s savings but also almost exhausted her parents' funds. Even if there were available kidneys now, they still didn't know how to raise the money!

Therefore, when she heard Bai Qiyue say he would find a way, she immediately thanked him. In her mind, even though she did not know what Bai Qiyue was doing outside, it seemed clear that his income was much easier than theirs since they saw how much money he sent home each month.

"It's fine, September is my brother; I can't just leave him alone!" Bai Qiyue shook his head and said.

Although he spoke lightly, the medical costs would undoubtedly be astronomical. He had no idea where to get such an amount of money at present, but he could not let his little brother go untreated either. If necessary, he would have to borrow from everywhere or even sell himself short to save his younger brother.

He did consider asking his master for help, as Master and the elders were sworn brothers. But since his Master had just returned to the capital city and they only recently met, it wouldn't be right to ask him for a large sum of money out of the blue.

If this only made people look down on him, he would accept it; if saving his brother meant being looked down upon by others, so be it. However, dragging his master into it and making people look down on him was something he did not want to see happen.

Xiao Yu saw the hesitation in Bai Qiyue's eyes and thought for a moment before saying, "Qiyue, didn't Old Wu give you ginseng I'd like to buy some."

The ginseng from those five hundred years is something that one can only come across by chance. Xiao Yu originally planned to buy a piece, but because he had saved Wu Lao's life, he was worried that others might misunderstand him as trying to repay a favor, so he never voiced this intention.

However, just now, he saw the difficulty Bai Qijue felt when talking about money, and thus decided to speak up. This way, it would solve both parties' issues!

"Xiao Yu, if you want it, take it! Why talk about payment" Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Bai Qijue quickly said to him. Regardless of anything else, since Xiao Yu had saved Wu Lao’s life, he couldn’t accept money.

When Xiao Yu heard Bai Qijue's response, he understood his thoughts and couldn't help but show a bitter smile, thinking that it was indeed the case...

However, before saying these words, he had already thought of how to phrase them. Therefore, he showed a slight smile as he said, "Qijue, don’t say anything yet! Your brother urgently needs money for medical treatment; you shouldn’t refuse! It’s important to treat his illness!"

"Let me think about it like this: I only want one-third of that ginseng. I’ll give you three million yuan. Even so, I still get a huge deal! You should know that such ginseng is extremely rare and can save lives in critical moments! If you refuse payment, then I won’t take the ginseng at all—I have my principles!"

Xiao Yu thought for a moment before continuing. When he said he would not take the ginseng if there was no payment, his tone was decisive.

"This...," Bai Qijue hesitated as well. Accepting payment felt inappropriate, but without money, his brother urgently needed funds for medical treatment. Moreover, he could tell that Xiao Yu wasn’t joking; if he insisted on refusing payment, Xiao Yu wouldn't take the ginseng at all.

"Let’s go to Beijing first! I’ll discuss it with my master later!" After some thought, Bai Qijue still didn’t agree to Xiao Yu's offer. This matter had to be decided by his master; even though his master had given him the ginseng, he would follow his master's opinion.

"Little sister, go and arrange for discharge procedures! We need to hurry to Beijing!" After speaking, Bai Qijue turned around to tell Bai Rong.

Bai Rong nodded and went to arrange the discharge procedures. Meanwhile, Bai San and his mother started packing up their belongings, while that young woman went to change clothes for Bai Jiu Yue!

"What’s going on here..." When Bai Qijue's family was in the process of packing, a man’s voice came from nearby.

Both the Bai family and Xiao Yu turned around. The speaker was a doctor in his fifties, accompanied by five or six other doctors who were looking at the Bai family curiously as they packed up their belongings.

"Director Liu, are you making rounds today We’re planning to transfer September to another hospital!" Bai San said carefully when he saw this doctor.

This middle-aged doctor was the head of the department. If a kidney donor were found, Bai Jiuyue’s surgery would likely be performed by him; therefore, Bai family members treated him very politely.

"Transfer to another hospital" The middle-aged doctor frowned and asked.

“Yes! My eldest son has come back. He said he wants to take Jiuyue to Beijing for treatment!” Bai San hurriedly explained.

“Alright, the conditions in Beijing are better. Do you need an ambulance If so, have them arrange one for you,” After hearing what Bai San had to say, the middle-aged doctor pondered for a moment and nodded his head.

"Yes! Please prepare the ambulance down below!" Xiao Yu took over and said.

Now that they included the Bai family members, there were too many people. Moreover, with Jiuyue being a patient, it wouldn’t be easy for them to travel on their own. It would be better if an ambulance could take them instead. Furthermore, Jiuyue’s condition was very severe, so an ambulance could provide some care during the trip.

When Xiao Yu took Bai Jiuyue's pulse just now, he found out that due to exhaustion, her kidneys were almost completely dysfunctional. She could only maintain her life through dialysis at present. If she didn’t receive a kidney donor or effective treatment, Jiuyue might not survive another month. Therefore, Xiao Yu suggested they go to Beijing.

Once in Beijing, both finding a kidney donor and other treatments would be much easier.

Hearing what Xiao Yu had to say, the doctor nodded at him. A smile appeared on Xiao Yu’s face as he returned his nod; he quite admired this doctor. At least, unlike some doctors with their eyes on top of their heads, this one was approachable.

The middle-aged doctor walked over and examined Bai Jiuyue, then told a doctor behind him: “Little Li, please ride along in the ambulance!”

After saying that, he went to see other patients.

"Director Liu is really a good doctor," The Bai family murmured as they watched Director Liu walk away.
