Chapter 971: Suggest childhood friend

It seemed that Teacher Lu’s inner conflicts and worries were far more numerous than Student Zhao’s, not on the same level at all. The people and matters impacted by it were incomparable to Student Zhao’s situation.

"Yingying, why don’t you clarify things with Senior Cao and step out of this? This issue is too serious; you can’t handle it." Two of her senior sisters advised her to back out.

Would backing out really free her from the burdens? What about the patient?

Though Teacher Lu didn’t speak of it, he seemed to show some interest in her. She had become a key that might unlock the doors to Teacher Lu’s heart. If she backed out, who knew when the next key would come along, or if Teacher Lu’s condition could afford to wait that long?

Xie Wanying accepted the goodwill of her senior sisters, but it was impossible for her to step back. If she were to back out, she wouldn’t choose to be a doctor again.

Seeing her resolve, Lau Jingyun and He Xiangyu, after some thought, could only provide their full support for their junior sister.

Teacher Lu was a prominent figure in the hospital and medical school, and soon, nearly every department knew about her trouble. Even her childhood playmate knew about it and gave her a call.

Before work, Xie Wanying grabbed some breakfast to visit her hospitalized childhood playmate.

Though Wu Lixuan managed to temporarily resolve her family’s issues, she wasn’t at ease, knowing this wasn’t a long-term solution.

As Xie Wanying entered the hospital room and didn’t see Doctor Yin, she pulled up a chair, sat down, and shared her advice with her friend, "I’ve spoken with Senior Cao; regarding your aunt and uncle’s situation, it’s best to stay away from these people forever."

"Yes, I’ve discussed this with my sister," Wu Lixuan said. "But where can we move to?"

Many people have the mentality of returning to their roots; it takes substantial courage to leave one’s hometown. Moreover, Wu Lixuan and her sister hadn’t yet decided where to permanently base their business. These concerns combined with the behavior of those people compelled her and her siblings to consider moving, as they had crossed the line.

One night, those people had ransacked their home, and it was then that Wu’s brother discovered their mother was duped into buying heaps of "safety charms." Those worthless items were sold to their mother, who had cognitive issues, at exponentially inflated prices.

No family’s money comes easy; their family’s every cent was hard-earned cash, yet it was devoured by those heartless scammers. Almost exploding with rage, the siblings were overwhelmed.

"Li Xuan, consider buying a house in the Capital. You’ve probably heard of the Fangzhuang district; it’s beautiful. Buying there will likely appreciate in value. Moreover, given your aunt and uncle’s condition, as they age, things might worsen. Bringing them to the Capital, which houses some of the nation’s best doctors, would make treatment easier," Xie Wanying suggested.

The perspective of someone who’s a doctor felt different. Besides the apparent good investment of purchasing a property in the Capital, she pinpointed the unique medical resources the Capital offered. Wu Lixuan, squinting thoughtfully, considered her words seriously before replying, "The only problem is, my family can’t come up with the down payment all at once."

Back then, although the housing prices seemed cheap, they were still high relative to the low earnings and salaries of ordinary people.

"Consider a loan," Xie Wanying suggested.

Getting a mortgage to invest in urban real estate was the aggressive investment slogan of that era, eventually evolving into the main theme of the real estate market, where property prices soared without falling. Those who bought early had indeed earned early.

Back then, eligibility requirements for loans were relatively low, and mortgage rates were also low.
