Chapter 239: Medical Fees
“Student Qin.” Teacher Tan stood up from his seat. He was a little curious as to why Qin Sheng had come looking for him.
Teacher Tan had only been in H City High School for less than a week, but he had heard of Qin Sheng’s legend. He was quite impressed by this student.
Su Yixiu’s reputation was quite well-known among all the universities and teachers. Everyone was praising him as a rare genius.
He did not expect that there would be a Qin Sheng who surpa.s.sed Su Yixiu in the mathematics compet.i.tion and won a place.
This was nothing. After Teacher Tan came to the school, he heard that Qin Sheng’s results in all the subjects had surpa.s.sed Su Yixiu’s.
He was completely shocked.
What kind of existence was surpa.s.sing Su Yixiu in all the subjects?
Su Yixiu had won prizes in all the subjects in the country, and he had even won the champions.h.i.+p.
“I want to know if Su Yixiu took a leave of absence?” Qin Sheng walked over and asked.
Teacher Tan did not expect Qin Sheng to ask this question. He nodded and said, “Su Yixiu took a leave of absence. He suddenly left school this morning. He said that something happened to his family.”
Qin Sheng frowned and apologized to Teacher Tan.
Then, she came to Teacher Lin and said, “Teacher, I want to take a leave of absence this morning.”
Teacher Lin had just heard about Qin Sheng and Teacher Tan’s talk and guessed that Qin Sheng had taken leave because of Su Yixiu.
After spending more than two months with Qin Sheng, Teacher Lin understood Qin Sheng’s personality and knew that she must have something urgent.
Teacher Lin didn’t ask any more questions and directly approved Qin Sheng’s leave slip.
“Take care of yourself.” Teacher Lin pa.s.sed the leave slip to Qin Sheng and exhorted her.
—
In the hospital.
“Okay.” Qin Sheng held the leave request slip in her hand.
She came to the school gate and took a taxi to the hospital.
After the doctor gave first aid to Su Yixiu’s grandmother, he walked out of the ward.
“Doctor, how is my grandmother’s condition?” Su Yixiu asked anxiously.
The doctor took off his mask and sighed. “The patient’s current condition is very bad. I suggest that we perform the surgery immediately. The earlier the better. Otherwise…”
The doctor did not continue what he was about to say, but his meaning was very clear.
Su Yixiu immediately said, “Doctor, arrange for my grandmother to have the surgery. I’ll think of a way to pay for it.”
“400,000.” The doctor said a conservative figure.
He then looked at Su Yixiu. “Your grandmother is very old now. She has terminal gastric cancer. Even if she has the surgery, the risk is very high. If she succeeds, she won’t be able to live for many years. Are you sure you want to have the surgery?”
The doctor knew about Su Yixiu’s family background.
He was still in high school at such a young age, so he had to pay for his grandmother’s medical expenses.
For an adult, it was not a small burden, let alone a high school student.
Normally, it was still fine. There was also reimburs.e.m.e.nt. The hospital fees and medical expenses for a day only cost a few hundred yuan. However, this surgery cost more than 400,000 yuan. Adding on the subsequent expenses, it would probably cost more than 700,000 yuan.
This was a bottomless pit.
More than 400,000 yuan was not a small amount. A family might not even have so many savings. To Su Yixiu, it was an astronomical amount.
The doctor was trying to persuade Su Yixiu to give up on this surgery.
However, it was obvious that Su Yixiu would not give up easily. The doctor also saw how well Su Yixiu treated his grandmother and did not continue to persuade him.
Su Yixiu clenched his fists.
His face was pale and he said firmly, “Let’s do the surgery.”
However, he was worried that once he earned the money, his grandmother would not have time.
