"It's been four years since I last saw Lanlan, she's grown so much!"
"She's grown into a great beauty."
Niu Dachun praised.
Although Niu Dachun was praising his niece, he was secretly aching inside.
Niu Lanlan has a pretty face, but she is pale and thin, as thin as a bamboo pole, and looks completely malnourished.
"Lanlan, your Uncle Chun is staying at my house tonight."
"Come with me to the small room and squeeze into the bed. Let your Uncle Dachun sleep in this big bed tonight."
Miao Runfang said.
"Okay, Mom."
Niu Lanlan lifted the covers and was about to get up so that Niu Dachun could sleep in the big bed.
Niu Dachun quickly stopped Niu Lanlan.
"I'll just sleep in the bed in the small room."
"How can you two sleep in a small bed?"
Miao Runfang was about to say something, but Niu Dachun stopped her.
"That's enough, time for bed."
"I'm so sorry."
"It's a shame that Da Chun has been wronged at my sister-in-law's house."
Miao Runfang said.
“Sister-in-law, you and brother don’t need to feel guilty about what happened in the past four years. None of these things were your fault.”
"Don't worry, now that I'm back, I'll definitely make our family's life better."
"I mean what I say."
Niu Dachun entered the small room.
The small room was also filled with all sorts of odds and ends, and there was only a very small bed.
The 1.5-meter-wide bed simply couldn't accommodate Niu Dachun, who is 1.82 meters tall.
Niu Dachun simply stopped sleeping. After all, for a cultivator like Niu Dachun at the peak of Qi Refining, sleeping was an insignificant matter.
Niu Dachun entered his private cultivation space and began to cultivate quietly.
The white-haired old man in prison once told Niu Dachun this.
If Niu Dachun were to rely solely on cultivation and comprehension within the spatial realm, it would take him at least ten years, or perhaps longer, to break through to the Qi Refining stage.
The best way to break through to the Qi Refining stage as quickly as possible is to seek opportunities in the world.
This is what Niu Dachun must do upon his release from prison.
......
The next day, at eight o'clock in the morning.
Intensive Care Unit, Cangning County First People's Hospital.
"Inspection of bed number 30."
A nurse's voice startled Niu Dawu from his sleep.
When Niu Dawu saw the nurse, he immediately perked up.
As usual, the nurse checked all of Zhang Cuixian's medical records.
Then he spoke to Zhang Cuixian.
"Auntie, do you feel particularly uncomfortable anywhere?"
Zhang Cuixian shook her head.
The nurse put a checkmark in the logbook.
"Auntie, if you feel unwell, just press the bell by your bedside to call me."
After saying that, the nurse gave Niu Dawu a wink, signaling him to come out.
Niu Dawu, dragging his crippled leg, followed the nurse out of the ward with a limp.
The nurse mechanically handed Niu Dawu a payment slip.
"This is the cost of today's chemotherapy. Remember to pay the fee at the machine."
Looking at the bill for over ten thousand yuan, Niu Dawu trembled and pleaded with the nurse.
"Nurse, could you please make an exception?"
"Let's get today's chemotherapy done first, and we'll pay for it later. I don't have that much money on hand right now."
The nurse said indifferently.
"I'm sorry."
"I'm just a nurse, this isn't something I can decide."
"These are all hospital rules, and all the medical equipment used on the elderly woman is imported."
"If you don't pay the fees here, then we'll have to suggest that you process the discharge procedures for the elderly lady."
After saying that, the nurse walked away.
As Niu Dawu listened to the nurse's cold words and looked at the cold Arabic numerals on the payment slip, his head sank and he slumped to the ground.
He shakily pulled out his worn-out wallet and opened it.
Splash—
A few coins rolled to the ground.
Niu Dawu knelt on the ground picking up the loose change that had fallen.
Suddenly, Niu Dawu's phone vibrated.
I opened my phone and saw a message from Lanlan's homeroom teacher.
"Hello, Lanlan's parents."
"Lanlan's tuition for this semester can't be delayed any longer; the school has already urged me several times."
"I know your family is currently facing financial difficulties."
"But every family has its own problems, and I hope you, Lanlan's parent, can understand me."
I saw a message from my homeroom teacher.
This once incredibly strong man leaned against the hospital wall and couldn't help but cry.
The loose change in my hand was scattered all over the ground.
No one can save us with this little bit of money.
The mother is dying, the child is dying, and even he himself doesn't know how to live!
"God, please, please spare my family."
"Please let my mother go."
Please!
Niu Dawu, who didn't believe in ghosts or gods, couldn't help but pray in his heart at this moment.
After an unknown amount of time, Niu Dawu regained his composure, wiped away his tears, and went into the ward.
"Did the doctor ask you to pay again?"
Zhang Cuixian asked timidly.
"Mom, don't worry, money is not a problem. I'll figure out a way to solve the money issue."
"Just focus on getting better, you'll definitely get better."
Niu Da put on a fake smile and looked at his mother.
"Da Wu, don't lie to me."
"You don't have any money at all."
I dreamt about your dad last night.
