"Want to get treatment?" Uncle He said with a half-smile, "Sure."
"Fifty dollars, not a penny less."
The Shen family widened their eyes.
Wasn’t it agreed to be three dollars? How come it became fifty?
"You don't keep your word!" Shen Hongyan yelled, "Hasn't the price already been agreed upon? Three dollars!"
"You'd better go and get rid of the beggar. It doesn't cost three dollars to get rid of a beggar." Uncle He was speechless.
"But...but you already agreed!"
"When did I agree? You guys are the ones making all the noise, I didn't say a word."
“…”
Uncle He's words completely blocked their minds.
Gou Xinghua wanted to curse, and many dirty words came to her lips, but in the end she gritted her teeth and said something.
"How shameless of you to cheat us farmers out of our money!"
"Since you think I'm a liar, then don't treat her here. If you can't get treatment, go to a big hospital in the county. If they charge less than we do, you can bring the old lady back. We won't charge you for treatment."
"..." These words left the Shen family speechless.
The Shen family has one thing in common, they are all very stingy, and you can tell from the surface that they are not generous people.
Uncle He said, "This fifty is the minimum. If you can't even afford this price, then why are you still coming here for treatment?"
Uncle He looked at Old Lady Shen who was still howling and said, "If you don't want to treat her, then take her home quickly. She looks like she can hold on for a couple of days, but she won't last much longer. The coffin and clothes need to be prepared early."
In this day and age, people earn less but spend more.
If it's anything else, it's fine. But if you get a serious illness, it will cost a lot of money to treat it.
However, many families are poor and cannot afford the medical expenses, so the hospital cannot treat them for free.
Therefore, some people who have no money to treat the disease will just carry the patient back home. The coffin and funeral clothes will be prepared in advance. As soon as the patient dies, they will have to change the clothes.
When Mrs. Shen heard this, her face turned pale and she shouted loudly.
"Don't die, I don't want to die, hurry up and pay for my medical treatment!"
Shen Facai was silent.
He really couldn't bear to spend so much money.
The Shen family's house isn't spacious...
Uncle He naturally understood what Shen Facai was thinking. He secretly despised him in his heart, but on the surface he sighed and pretended to be unintentional.
"It's true that every family has its own problems, some are happy while others are sad! Just two days ago, an old lady fell ill, and her son and daughter cried and begged to take out their family savings to pay for her medical treatment. Why are they unwilling to pay for her medical treatment again today?"
Shen Facai’s face flushed when he heard this.
If word got out that they were unwilling to spend money on Old Madam Shen's medical treatment, they would be criticized and accused of being unfilial.
They have to live in the village for the rest of their lives, and they can't let outsiders poke holes in their backs all their lives.
so……
Shen Facai gritted his teeth and said, “Treat!”
He looked at Uncle He and said, "My mother depends entirely on you. You must treat her illness!"
Gou Xinghua's heart instantly collapsed when she heard these words.
Fifty dollars...fifty dollars!
The Shen family was unlucky. Old Mrs. Shen gave birth to several sons and daughters before Shen became rich, but they all died young.
After working hard for most of his life, he only has one son and one daughter left, and Shen Hongyan has been married for so many years.
