Chapter 585 - 568: Passing the Buck to Each Other
Wang Xiaojie said, "Taking care of him by oneself is enough before the surgery; but after the surgery, one person surely won’t be able to manage."
"When the time comes, I’ll go and lend a hand with Second Brother."
Wang Xiaojie didn’t refuse. It was only right for her husband to take care of his nephew for a few days as an uncle, but there was no money. It wasn’t that she was stingy, but the expenses for Lu Ping to apply to a foreign university would certainly be huge. Although Jiaxing had promised to cover tuition and living expenses, as parents, they should contribute somewhat; the third child in high school, the fourth in junior high, social obligations, and so on—there were expenses everywhere. Not to mention, the eldest and second eldest were of marrying age, and a wedding was another big expense. Thankfully, there were plenty of rooms in the house, so they would not have to find another place for the daughters-in-law to live, which would have been another worry.
Second Uncle Lu was brought to the Forty-nine City by Lu Jiayao, and Second Aunt Lu came with him. Upon arrival, they stayed at Lu Jiajie’s place first, waiting for Lu Jiachai to arrive before going to Harmonize Hospital.
After a series of examinations, the result was early-stage gastric cancer, which meant that there was a chance of cure. The doctor advised urgent surgery, and Second Uncle Lu, terrified of death, urged Lu Jiachai to go and pay.
Lu Jiachai felt uneasy, "Doctor, how much will the surgery cost approximately?"
The doctor told them to prepare three thousand first, of course, as various situations might arise during the surgery, the more money they had at their disposal, the better.
