Wang Dalei's severed finger completely enraged Lin Yu. It crossed his bottom line.
A general, a meritorious official, was demoted to a corps commander, which was bad enough, but his salary was also cut off, and he even had his finger cut off.
This is absolutely outrageous!
It seems that coming to the Protectorate was the right decision; this place definitely needs to be properly rectified.
Let's start with Li Gan!
Just as Lin Yu decided to rectify military discipline.
Meanwhile, Chen Ning had already returned home.
An ordinary residential building.
Arriving at his doorstep, Chen Ning still clutched his chest, overwhelmed with excitement.
Her biggest wish was to pass the exam and she worked hard for it for two whole years.
But each attempt ended in failure, leaving her disheartened.
Every time Chen Ning sees his bedridden father and his increasingly haggard mother, he feels extremely guilty.
Because she was an only child, she was raised like a boy from childhood to adulthood.
So in her heart, now that her father had fallen ill, she was the pillar of the family and had to shoulder the responsibility.
I thought that as a graduate of a prestigious university, I would definitely bring honor to my parents when I returned home.
But reality gave me a cold shower.
It's really too difficult to go back to work in my hometown.
Without suitable job opportunities, they cannot apply their skills. Their talents are wasted.
Fortunately, she met Chief Lin, and finally her patience paid off!
call!
Taking a deep breath to calm his agitated emotions, Chen Ning opened the door and returned home.
"Mom, I'm home!"
Chen Ning went to the bedroom and found his father and mother looking worried.
Unable to help but frown, she asked, "Mom, Dad, what's wrong?"
Chen Ning's mother sighed, "Your father's leg is acting up again. We went to the hospital to get medicine, but they said that this type of drug is no longer being produced, and a new drug has been developed. This new drug is no longer reimbursed! The one that used to cost a thousand yuan a month is now costing five or six thousand. Where are we going to get that much money!"
"The previous medicine was quite effective, so why was it suddenly discontinued?" Chen Ning's expression was grim.
Chen Ning's mother said irritably, "What else could it be? The medicine used to be cheap and effective, so the pharmacists didn't make any money! Now this hospital is just ripping off ordinary people like us; they have no medical ethics whatsoever!"
Five thousand yuan a month is far too much of a burden for a family like theirs.
Neither of the elderly couple had a job, and they relied entirely on their daughter. Moreover, the gas station only made two or three thousand yuan a month, which wasn't even enough to support their basic needs.
Thinking of all this, Chen Ning's mother couldn't help but choke up. She quickly got up and walked outside, saying, "I'll go to the kitchen to cook. You talk to your dad!"
"well!"
Chen Ning's father sat on the bed, sighing and rubbing his legs.
Chen Ning stepped forward, sat down beside him, and comforted him, "Dad, just focus on getting better and don't worry about these things. I'll figure out how to solve the money problem!"
Chen Gang turned to look at her, his old eyes reddening, and said with a face full of guilt, "Daughter, it's all my fault! I've dragged you down! You graduated from a prestigious university, you should have stayed in a big city, but because of my illness, you had to come back here and can't even find a good job! It breaks my heart!"
“At her age, she’s already married and has children. Your second aunt’s daughter, Xiaomin, has two houses and a car prepared as her dowry. Look at your father, he hasn’t saved anything for you! Oh, thinking about this every day makes my heart ache!” Chen Gang pounded his chest, tears streaming down his face.
Chen Gang was a strong-willed man who was hardworking and diligent in his youth. He never expected to contract this rare disease, which would render him unable to move when it flared up, making him like a useless person.
He not only spent all his savings, but also became a burden on his daughter. Seeing other people's families thriving made him feel very guilty.
In Northeast China, boys and girls are treated the same. He had planned to prepare a dowry for his daughter, but in the end, his daughter had to support him.
You can imagine how I felt.
With tears in her eyes, Chen Ning patted her father's shoulder to comfort him, "Dad, don't say that! We're family. You and Mom raised me from a young age and supported my education. Now it's my turn to repay you! I'll definitely make something of myself in the future! Dad, you have to believe in me!"
Chen Gang shook his head. "Daughter! It's tough! Although Dad isn't very educated, I understand society better than you! You're a good girl, you know how to work hard, but in today's society, hard work alone isn't enough!"
"Especially in our Northeast, it's a society based on personal connections! You can see that from your application for the health system—it's corrupt! Without money and connections, ordinary people like us can't get anywhere!"
As Chen Gang spoke, he angrily punched his numb leg again, and sighed, "Hey, maybe I should just give up on treatment and just die! I won't be a burden to you, you should hurry back to the big city to develop your career!"
Chen Ning burst into tears. "Dad, please don't be like this! Don't keep talking about death! Nothing is more important than being alive. As a family, even if we don't have money, it's good to be happy! Dad, you're just too strong-willed. You didn't want to be sick, but we've been through this, haven't we? Everyone has their share of troubles in life! Your well-being is my greatest comfort!"
Chen Gang's old body trembled. Seeing how sensible his daughter was, his guilt deepened.
He had actually made up his mind not to continue treatment. He didn't want to be a burden on his daughter any longer.
He even secretly bought rat poison online, planning to end his own life when the mother and daughter weren't looking.
At that moment, Chen Ning suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh right, Dad, I have good news for you! I might be getting into the health system!"
"What?" Chen Gang's old eyes widened in shock.
