Chapter 15

"A little rabbit can sell for 3 yuan; if I sell a few more, I can earn a meal."

With a determination that didn't belong to her age on her face, Zhou Yun said seriously.

"Besides, my illness can't be cured anyway; it’s good to save some money for my brother before I go."

Looking at the heartbreaking maturity on Zhou Yun’s face, Sister Wang wanted to comfort her, but didn't know where to start.

In the end, it could only turn into a helpless sigh.

She had been hospitalized for over half a year, and many doctors and even Priests had come, but they still couldn't find the reason why Zhou Yun’s whole body was cold and painful every night.

"Alright, Sister Wang, don't worry about me; I’ll take my medicine obediently."

The little hand picked up the medicine, and Zhou Yun took it all very familiarly.

These medicines were very bitter.

But she was already used to it and didn't show any discomfort.

"Bed number 2, time to pay the hospital bill."

At this moment, the head nurse walked in with an indifferent face and handed the bill to Zhou Yun.

Head nurse Li Qian was a middle-aged woman around forty years old.

She had a sharp nose and high, protruding cheekbones.

When looking at people, she would involuntarily reveal an arrogant gaze.

"Time to pay?"

Hearing the payment notice, Zhou Yun’s little face tightened, but she still took the bill.

"Ten thousand?!! Why is this month’s hospital bill so much more expensive?!!"

Seeing the total amount at the bottom of the bill, Zhou Yun couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

In the past, the hospital bill for a month was at most only five thousand Zhongxia coins!

"Auntie Li, could this be a mistake?"

Even the strong Zhou Yun had mist rising in her eyes at this moment.

Her brother tried his best to earn only five thousand-plus a month.

Now the medical bill had suddenly doubled; this... what should she do?

Zhou Yun felt desolate in her heart.

Although she was only thirteen, the successive deaths of her parents made her much more sensible than her peers.

She naturally understood what a huge burden this extra five thousand in hospital bills was for their family, which was now supported only by her brother.

"There’s no mistake; you used more medicine this month, so it’s normal for the hospital bill to be a bit more expensive."

Li Qian didn't care and just explained lightly.

"The hospital bill is a bit more expensive? How much more?"

Suddenly, accompanied by a low voice.

A young man about 1.8 meters tall with a somewhat thin build walked in.

He had a calm expression on his face, and his whole body exuded an aura as warm as spring sunshine.

This person was Zhou Yi.

"Brother!!"

Seeing Zhou Yi, Zhou Yun felt she had found her backbone and quickly shouted excitedly.

"Xiaoyun."

Zhou Yi grinned and walked to the bedside.

"Zhou Yi is here."

Sister Wang also greeted him with a smile.

She also had a good impression of this young man who, despite his young age, supported a family and came to deliver food to his sister on time every day.

"If the hospital bill is a bit more expensive, then so be it; it’s not a big deal, why are you crying?"

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Zhou Yi wiped the tears from his sister Zhou Yun’s eyes with his hand.

"From now on, we won't have to worry about medical bills anymore."

Zhou Yi pinched Zhou Yun’s little face and said softly.

"We won't have to worry about medical bills anymore?"

Zhou Yi stood up under Zhou Yun’s confused gaze.

"Auntie Li, how much is the hospital bill this time?"

Zhou Yi looked at Li Qian.

"Ten thousand three hundred-plus."

I don't know why, but being looked at by Zhou Yi’s calm gaze.

Li Qian felt uncomfortable all over and said with a drifting gaze.

"Brother, this month’s hospital bill is several thousand more than last month’s.

Auntie Li said I took more medicine this month, but I don't seem to feel anything myself.

But it’s also possible that I remembered it wrong..."

Zhou Yun chattered on, and Zhou Yi, who took the bill, narrowed his eyes, lost in thought.

Because what Zhou Yun needed wasn't ordinary medicine, the prices of these special drugs weren't fixed.

They were a bit more expensive when they were hard to buy, and cheaper when they were easier to buy.

Of course, the right of final interpretation belonged to the hospital...

"Auntie Li, swipe the card."

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yi didn't intend to cause trouble and took out his bank card directly.

Although he felt there was something wrong with this hospital bill.

But he didn't have the ability to flip the table right now.

And his sister had to be treated here, so he could only endure it. ===== CHAPTER 17 =====
