Chapter 497: Grabbing the Pills
As soon as Old Qin finished speaking, Lu Jingheng and Bai Yangfan couldn't help but laugh.
Especially Lu Jingheng, his smile was very unkind: "Grandpa! This is the result of your blind showing off."
Zhu Houde glared at him and roared, "You little bastard! Go home if you have nothing to do and stop talking nonsense here."
Seeing him fussing like a child, Bai Yangfan pulled Lu Jingheng away, comforting Zhu Houde as he walked: "Grandpa! I'll take him away right away. Out of sight, out of mind."
Watching the two leave, Old Man Qin still had a grin on his face: "Old Zhu! Your granddaughter is extraordinary, and your grandson-in-law is also very good. I didn't expect that you could get such a good deal in your old age and get such a good descendant."
Zhu Houde didn't mind the lemon-like sourness in Old Qin's tone, but smiled smugly: "It's useless for you to be envious. This is the fate between me and that child."
Old Qin was very unconvinced. "Fate? Come on! You just saw that child's talent and took the initiative to adopt her as your granddaughter. If I had met her first, what would have happened to you? You got the advantage and still act like a spoiled brat! Go ahead and show off!"
Zhu Houde had a smile on his face, and said in a tone that was infuriating: "I have the capital to show off, but Old Qin, you can't show off even if you want to. Who made you not as lucky as me to meet such a lovely granddaughter?"
"Get out!" Old Qin roared, his face displeased.
"Hahaha! Hahaha!" Zhu Houde laughed in a very unkind way, turned around and left, not forgetting to wave before leaving, "Old Qin! Goodbye!"
Staring at Zhu Houde's back, Old Qin remembered that he hadn't asked him to share some pills yet, and quickly yelled, "Come back!"
Zhu Houde walked to the door and asked suspiciously: "What are you doing?"
"Nothing." Old Qin was afraid he would regret it, so he rushed over and took out a bottle of pills from his left trouser pocket. "Give me some of your good stuff. Yang Fan said he would send it to me when he makes it. Give me a few pills first, and I'll return them to you later. Don't worry! You won't be short of anything."
"What? No." Zhu Houde didn't expect that Old Qin was so quick. Before he knew it, the pill in his trouser pocket was in his hand.
Originally, he had been coming to the department to show off how good his pills were, and he even said that these good things were a gift from his granddaughter to him.
The purpose is to show off that he has a good granddaughter.
Who would have thought that showing off would cause trouble? Old Qin was so shameless that he actually snatched his pills.
"Who said no?" Old Qin took the pills and put his hands behind his back, like a child, with an anxious look on his face, "Yang Fan said he could do it for me, so why can't I give you a few pills first?
If you hadn't kept telling me how good this medicine is, I'd have been feeling unwell these past two days, and soon I'd have to go to a meeting with my superiors, and also get rewards for my two children.
How can I strive for something if I'm in unbearable pain? How can I possibly win a good reward if I can't even speak clearly? I don't want more, just give me ten pills."
Zhu Houde's face darkened as he cursed, "Old Qin! You are so dishonest. You are threatening me with the honor of my granddaughter and grandson-in-law. Are you still a human being?"
Old Qin smiled, a smile that looked like a successful scheme: "There is no other way, in order to relieve the pain in my body, strive to make myself walk easily and speak fluently, I have to do something unkind.
Besides, are you kind? If you got something good, why don't you take the initiative to share some with me? You have a wonderful granddaughter, why are you hiding her? If you hadn't said it yourself, I wouldn't have known you had such a great granddaughter.
You were the one who was being unkind first. If you had taken the initiative to share the things with me and introduce your granddaughter to me, would I have resorted to such tactics? Maybe Yang Fan would have prepared a bottle for me too."
Zhu Houde: “…” What sin have I committed? Why am I showing off in front of him for no reason? Now, not only are the pills gone, but my granddaughter’s filial piety is also being divided up by others.
If you don't seek death, you won't die. It seems that this is what he said.
Zhu Houde's heart ached as he watched Old Qin pour out ten pills and hold them carefully in his palm.
This medicine was given to him by his granddaughter. It is really effective. Ever since he took it, he feels full of energy.
Unexpectedly, my boasting brought me trouble and I wasted ten pills in vain.
His granddaughter told him that he started by taking one pill a day, then half a month later, one pill every three days, then one pill a week after a month, and now he only takes one pill a week.
Ten pills are enough for him for ten weeks. How can I not feel bad about it?
"Old Qin! You are so shameless."
Zhu Houde snatched the medicine bottle and put it back into his trouser pocket, then left angrily.
Old Qin was laughing happily behind him, looking at the ten black pills in his palm with satisfaction, and picked up one and put it in his mouth with satisfaction.
No matter how stingy Old Man Zhu is, there is nothing he can do when he meets him. After all, they have worked together for decades and know each other too well.
He probably didn't tell anyone about the pill, except for him.
It just so happened that he had been suffering from unbearable pain in his knees these past two days, which felt like being pricked by needles. With this pill, the pain should be much better.
It’s true. Not long after I swallowed the pill, I felt a warm sensation all over my body, which was very soothing.
I feel comfortable all over.
Old Zhu hadn't lied to him. The pills were truly effective, and the pain in his knees seemed to be gradually easing. It still hurt, but the pricking sensation had lessened considerably.
"The effect of this medicine is really great. I don't know how Yang Fan made it." Old Qin looked at the medicine in his hand lovingly and cherished it very much.
I heard Zhu Houde brag about this a long time ago, saying that you should take one pill a day at most and not more than that.
He had to follow the doctor's advice carefully. He was afraid of side effects if he took too much, but what was more, he was reluctant to do so. There were only ten pills, and one less pill would mean one less pill.
After ten days, if his pain was really relieved a lot, he would have to find a way to trick Lao Zhu into giving him a few pills.
He had checked and there were at least thirty or forty pills in his bottle, so it shouldn't be a problem to steal a few of them.
Zhu Houde: “······” It’s over, he has been targeted by thieves.
It hurts to give out ten pills, and Old Qin still wants more, but it’s impossible.
Next time he goes out, he will not bring medicine with him. Just wait and see how that damn old Qin will take advantage of him.
I didn't bring it out, so I couldn't grab it even if I wanted to.
Lu Jingheng and Bai Yangfan naturally didn't know about the confusing account between the two old men.
At this moment, the two of them drove back to the Lu family.
Yesterday was their wedding day. I heard that they held a wedding at home, but unfortunately there was no bride and groom, and I don’t know how the wedding was held.
Lu Jingheng even thought his grandfather was funny. How could he let people attend a wedding without a bride and groom? It felt like he was "ripping people off".
I'm sure you're not kidding me if you do anything unreliable just to get some money.
