The doctor really wanted to punch Brother Niu a few times. He could see right through Brother Niu's little scheme. He clearly disliked his son for being a burden to him. What a selfish man.

"I'll definitely get treatment, I'll do whatever you say, doctor," Tie Dan assured him, and glared at Brother Niu.

The doctor's expression softened a bit. He realized that Tie Dan was the backbone of the team and that he was financially well-off, as his shirt was Armani, something that working-class people definitely couldn't afford.

"Are you a child?"

“Niu Junjun and Niu Zhuangzhuang are my nephews.”

"You, as the uncle, should be more responsible. The surgery is urgent. Raise the money as soon as possible; the child can't afford to delay," the doctor said seriously.

"How much will the surgery cost?" Sister-in-law Niu asked.

"The surgery will cost around 50,000 (fabricated), but the cost of medication and check-ups afterward will be considerable. Please pay the surgery fee first, and I will arrange the surgery as soon as possible."

"Fifty thousand...that much?" Sister-in-law Niu exclaimed. This amount of money was an astronomical figure for her. She subconsciously looked at Tiedan, "What should we do? Your second brother and I don't have that much money."

Tie Dan reached into his pocket to take out his bank card, but stopped halfway through. Tang Yuanyuan had warned him that morning that he had to call her before making any purchases over a thousand yuan. He had to listen to his wife.

Sister-in-law Niu's face immediately changed, and she burst into tears, "What can we do? We've sold all the grain in the house, but we still can't raise enough money. My child... Mother, let's die together..."

Tie Dan felt uneasy, but he had to listen to Tang Yuanyuan. He went to the corridor to call Tang Yuanyuan and told her what the doctor had said.

"Tell the doctor to go home and raise money. Don't pay anything yet, and don't say you have money, understand?" Tang Yuanyuan instructed.

"I've got it, honey. I feel... I feel uneasy."

The sound of Niu Ersao's wailing came out, and Tang Yuanyuan heard it too. She sneered inwardly. Of the two sisters-in-law, Ersao was the most cunning. Niu Dasao was straightforward and simple-minded. She was completely manipulated by Niu Ersao.

“We definitely need to get treatment, but you have to listen to me about the money. We’ll talk about it when we get back. Let the doctor arrange the surgery, and tell him we’ll raise the money within three days,” Tang Yuanyuan said.

Tie Dan was relieved. When he got back, he told the doctor what his wife had told him. The doctor was understanding, after all, it was a huge sum of money, tens of thousands of yuan. He even comforted him, saying, "If it really doesn't work out, you can pay half first and raise the rest later. The child's surgery can't be delayed."

"Okay, we'll put it together when we get home. Thank you, doctor." Tie Dan nodded.

Sister-in-law Niu gritted her teeth. She had clearly seen her brother-in-law reach into his pocket for his bank card, but she didn't know why he had changed his mind. It must be that little vixen Tang Yuanyuan who was causing trouble behind the scenes. Humph, that little vixen is willing to spend hundreds of thousands of yuan on clothes for that brat, but she's unwilling to spend tens of thousands of yuan on her son's surgery.

In the afternoon, the whole family gathered together to discuss important matters. Niu Dazhu's two older brothers also came over. Although they usually had conflicts, they were still family when something happened, and they would discuss things together.

"The doctor said the surgery will cost 50,000 yuan, and I'll also need to take medication and have tests done. It'll cost a lot of money every year." Brother Niu said with a bitter face; he was extremely worried.

The grain grown in the fields can only sell for about ten thousand yuan a year, and that's only if the weather is good. After deducting the cost of pesticides and fertilizers, the remaining money isn't even enough to cover his son's medicine. His eldest daughter and second son are both in school, which also costs a lot of money each year. He's even considered selling his blood.

“Jun Jun also needs to take medicine and get checked. The doctor said it will cost more than a thousand a month, sigh!” Brother Niu said while glancing at Tie Dan, which Tang Yuanyuan saw.
