Startled, Shen Yuqin quickly grabbed Shen Honggang's arm and readily agreed, "Dad, I'm willing! I'll work! I'll definitely work hard!"

Old Xu beamed from the side: "That's right, Yuqin. From now on, live well with your father and stop thinking about things that aren't yours. Relying on heaven and earth is not as good as relying on yourself!"

Shen Honggang pulled a large paper bag out of his bundle and handed it to Shen Yuqin.

Shen Yuqin took it and immediately smelled a fragrance.

The paper bag contained a large piece of pork head meat, five crispy sesame seed cakes, and a small handful of bananas.

"Are you hungry? Eat up, and we'll be discharged after you finish eating."

Shen Yuqin's eyes lit up as soon as she saw the meat. She didn't even bother with chopsticks and started gnawing on the pig's head meat.

Shen Honggang felt a pang of heartache as he watched his daughter wolf down her food.

Since having a New Year's Eve dinner at the Shen family's house during the Spring Festival, Shen Yuqin hadn't smelled meat for more than half a year. As she ate, she sighed, thinking that it was better to stay with her father. She shouldn't have been so foolish as to follow her selfish and cruel mother.

While Shen Yuqin was eating, Shen Honggang completed the discharge procedures.

He checked the medical bill and found it cost a total of eighteen yuan.

He took out twenty yuan and tried to return it to Lao Xu, but Lao Xu, being an honest man, refused to accept it. Shen Honggang insisted on giving it to him, and the two went back and forth refusing for a while before Lao Xu reluctantly accepted it.

Shen Yuqin had nothing, and her clothes were torn, so Shen Honggang took her to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought her a dress.

Shen Yuqin hadn't worn new clothes for two years, and she was overjoyed when she put them on.

"Dad, you're the best to me. I was so blind before!"

As soon as the father and daughter stepped out of the supply and marketing cooperative, a man wearing an octagonal hat rushed up and blocked their way.
