Yu family.
Yu Bocai and Yu Boxue scratched their heads in shame as they looked at He Cheng in front of them. "Brother He, I'm afraid we can't do what we promised you. My old man is really pedantic and doesn't want to take out the warm jade at all."
He Cheng was very annoyed, but he had to pretend to be gentle on the surface, "Is the price not suitable? I can add another 500."
If He Cheng didn't know that the jade from the Yu family was spiritual and would be priceless in the future, he wouldn't bother to argue with them.
When the Yu Bocai brothers heard He Cheng raise the price, they swallowed hard.
The Yu family used to be wealthy. Uncle Yu and his wife were both capable and had built up a lot of assets for their two sons. However, the tiger father raised two weak sons, and after Uncle Yu fell ill, the family assets were squandered by his two sons.
Everything that could be sold in the house was sold, and now only the warm jade in the old man's hand is left.
He Cheng offered a thousand dollars, and the two brothers went to the hospital countless times, but they couldn't persuade the old man to give in.
"Brother He, it's not that we don't want to sell it to you, it's just that my old man is difficult to deal with. Otherwise, we can persuade him again..."
He Cheng was also anxious. He had quite a few antiques, but not many rare treasures. This warm jade could be sold at a sky-high price in the future, which was definitely not comparable to the things he had.
If I have this piece of warm jade to hold it in place, I won’t be afraid that the others won’t be able to sell at a high price.
Ultimately, it was greed that was at work. He Cheng took a deep breath and agreed.
"Okay, I'll give you three more days. If you still can't get it, I'll go find Mr. Yu myself."
"Yes, yes, yes."
......
He Cheng returned home in a depressed mood. Zhou Yun had just returned from her mother's house and brought back a basket of oranges.
This is a rare fruit. The transportation nowadays is not as good as in later times. It is impossible to transport it back without some skills.
He Cheng has traveled through time for six years, and this is the first time he has seen Orange.
He leaned back on the sofa and took one and peeled it. The orange was small, juicy and slightly sour. The taste was incomparable to those in later generations, but it tasted fresh now.
He casually asked, "Where did it come from?"
Zhou Yun smiled and said, "It was given to me by Zhou Qin's boyfriend."
"Oh? Zhou Qin is dating someone?"
He Cheng finished the last petal and wiped his hands.
Zhou Qin is Zhou Yun's younger sister, four years younger than her. She now works as a worker in a spinning mill. She has a hot-tempered personality, but has a good relationship with her brother-in-law.
He Cheng felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Zhou Qin talking about her boyfriend.
"Who is her boyfriend? Have you investigated his family background and character? Don't let Xiaoqin be deceived."
He spoke so righteously that Zhou Yun only thought that the man was concerned about his wife's sister and didn't think anything else.
"He's a college student who just returned to the city last year. His family is also from Beijing. Do you know the Sun family? They're two blocks away from us. His father is the director of a spinning mill. He's the youngest son of the Sun family, Sun Zhiyuan. I've watched him grow up, so naturally his character is acceptable."
"That's hard to say. He has been in the countryside for so many years. What if he got married there?" He Cheng couldn't stand seeing his sister-in-law always sticking to him and dating, so he continued to question.
Zhou Yun paused while wiping the table, frowning slightly, "No way?"
He Cheng took out a newspaper, unfolded it and read, which just covered his face but could not block the sound.
"Who knows? If Xiaoqin gets cheated, that could be a lifelong issue."
"You're right, I'll ask Dad to find out!"
Zhou Yun stopped wiping the table, took off her apron and ran out.
He Cheng looked at her hurried back and finally felt relieved.
......
Beijing Hospital.
Qi Lianrui arranged Song Li to be in charge of He Linyuan and Uncle Yu. He originally wanted to make things difficult for her, but he didn't expect that she could actually handle it.
Especially He Linyuan, Han Moli couldn't get close to him, but Song Li could go there every day. Qi Lianrui often cursed Han Moli as a waste in his heart.
Han Moli was also anxious, but He Linyuan was a cold-hearted man who wouldn't listen to any tricks or words. No matter how hard she tried to get close to him, it was all in vain.
Is it because Song Li is prettier than her that He Linyuan lets Song Li get close to him?
Han Moli thought hatefully in her heart and became even more jealous of Song Li.
"Doctor Xiao Han, has the patient in Room 208's blood pressure been very high recently? Is the medication effective?"
Qi Lianrui pushed his glasses and asked casually.
Han Moli was worried about this matter. She couldn't handle He Linyuan, and she couldn't handle Uncle Yu either.
"Don't even mention it. We've already used the basic medications. His physical condition is too poor to be suitable for surgery. We can only endure it. This old man's family is so difficult to deal with. They insist that the hospital cure him. Tsk! We are a hospital, not a wishing well. You're just imagining something unrealistic."
"Oh?" Qi Lianrui smiled, "Actually, I have a way to help you get rid of him."
"What method?" Han Moli's eyes lit up.
Qi Lianrui waved his hand and said, "Come here, I'll tell you."
......
After lunch, Song Li chatted with He Linyuan for a while. After He Linyuan fell asleep, she went out to check on ward 208.
She gave a portion of the soup she made these days to Uncle Yu. With the spiritual plants nourishing him, Uncle Yu's health improved a lot and he became more energetic in scolding people.
Thinking that Uncle Yu likes sweet food, Song Li quietly took out two pieces of nougat from the space. Uncle Yu usually thinks medicine is bitter, so this is just the right candy to satisfy his taste buds.
Thinking of the old man who said he was being rude and complained about her wastefulness, but secretly ate candy behind her back, the smile on Song Li's lips disappeared.
However, when she arrived at the ward, the corners of her mouth suddenly fell.
"What's going on?"
There were a lot of people gathered at the door of Ward 208, and the doctors and nurses were walking non-stop. Song Li's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly ran over, grabbed someone and asked.
That person was also the nurse in charge of Mr. Yu. When he saw it was Song Li, his face suddenly darkened.
"How did you take care of the patient? Did you know that the patient had food poisoning?"
"Food poisoning?"
Song Li's head was buzzing. Uncle Yu was fine when she left, so how could he suddenly get food poisoning?
Song Li felt something was wrong and quickly pushed the nurse aside and went in.
Han Moli was standing by the bed, observing the patient's condition, and saw that she looked very unhappy.
"Song Li, what did you feed the patient? He's in critical condition now. If he hadn't been discovered quickly and saved, he'd be dead now!"
"Let me see him."
Song Li ignored Han Moli's accusations. Her spiritual plants only strengthened the body and would never poison people. It was obvious that there was something wrong with Uncle Yu's serious illness.
"You think you're going to kill someone again after you didn't kill him? The patient's family will be here soon, and they'll settle the score with you!"
Han Moli gloated. If Qi Lianrui hadn't told her that Song Li delivered meals to the patients every day, she wouldn't have thought of this idea.
Anyway, Uncle Yu is already on his last legs and will die sooner or later, so it is better to fulfill her wish. When Song Li is kicked out, she will definitely send a few bouquets of flowers to Uncle Yu's grave.
"I said, let me take a look!"
Song Li's eyes turned cold, and the nougat in her hand was already deformed. Han Moli was frightened by the murderous aura from her and shrank back.
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door, "Yu Jinbu's family is here!"
