The old woman still stuffed the silver in her hand into Hua He's hand. After the two of them argued for a while, the old woman finally agreed to only pay for the medicine.
Hua He said, "I've never encountered this case before, and this treatment method is also new to me. I'm very grateful that you're willing to let me try it. I'll come back tomorrow."
"Okay, okay, thank you, young lady."
The old woman said to Hua He with gratitude.
After finishing their business here, the three of them left the Lin family. On the way, Hua He asked curiously, "Tuan Tuan, are these family your relatives?"
"No, the shop I rented is from them. I came here today to discuss buying it, but they actually want two thousand taels of silver to sell it to me. It's really a rip-off."
Hua He and Meng Zifan both opened their eyes wide, "This is too much!"
"From the look on his face just now, he doesn't seem like that kind of person at all. I really didn't expect that."
"Then why are you willing to help them?"
Jiang Tuantuan sighed and said, "Actually, it was because I happened to meet you at that time that I thought of taking you to see a doctor, just in case there was hope of cure, right? It just happened to happen that he got sick at the time and was able to save his life. Anyway, it was quite a coincidence."
As they were talking, a drunk man came towards them. He was staggering back and forth on the left side, almost occupying all the space in the alley, and was mumbling something.
The three of them quickly leaned against the wall to make way for the drunk man.
After the man left, Jiang Tuantuan said, "How much did he drink to become like this?"
I turned my head to look at the direction the man was going, it seemed to be the Lin family.
Jiang Tuantuan and Hua He agreed to go to the Lin family together tomorrow to check on the situation, and then they separated.
After arriving home, I first fed Baiyu grass, as I heard that this can help foster affection. Then I went back to the house to have dinner.
The next day, Jiang Tuantuan changed his clothes after dinner and went to the Lin family. As soon as he arrived at the door of the Lin family, he met Hua He and Meng Zifan beside him.
The three of them knocked on the door, and soon someone came to open it. When the door was opened, it was a man who looked very familiar. Wasn't this the drunk man from yesterday?
When the man saw the three people, he felt that they looked familiar. He thought about it for a long time but still couldn't remember who they were.
The old woman's voice came from the back door, "Hey, three of you are here, hurry up and invite them in, why are you standing at the door?"
The man stared at the old woman blankly and asked, "Who are they, Mom?"
"They are our family's benefactors. They saved your father yesterday."
The man finally realized, "So you are my benefactor. Please come in. I was negligent just now."
His gentle and elegant appearance now is completely different from yesterday.
When I entered the yard, I saw the old man sitting in the yard basking in the sun with his eyes closed. He looked very comfortable. Although he was still coughing, it was not as severe as yesterday.
The old woman was about to reach out to wake the old man, but Hua He stopped her, "It's okay, let him continue sleeping."
"Okay, then come in and sit down. I'll serve you some tea."
The man turned and went to the kitchen, prepared some snacks and brought them over, saying, "Mom said you would come today. I went out this morning to buy these snacks. They are all freshly made. Please enjoy them."
"OK, thanks."
"Is there really any cure for my father's illness? I've been to many clinics and seen many doctors, and they all said it couldn't be cured."
Hua He thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure, but I'll try my best."
"Okay, that's troublesome."
After the water boiled, the old man woke up. He turned his head and saw Jiang Tuantuan and the other two in the room. He immediately sat up, walked over, bent down, and thanked the three of them.
How could the three of them accept this courtesy? After all, he was such an elder who was much older than them. Then Hua He began to take the old man's pulse and give him acupuncture. After that, the old man fell asleep again.
She then wrote a prescription and urged her son to buy it quickly.
Hua He said, "During this period, you need acupuncture every day to consolidate and regulate your body, and eat more light food."
After saying that, she looked around the room again. Compared with yesterday, it was completely new. The dust on the windows and the dirt in the corners were all gone. It seemed that the quilt and sheets were replaced with new ones. It seemed that the old lady had listened to the advice and cleaned up the room. Seeing a patient who listened to the doctor's advice so well, Hua He was extremely satisfied.
When the old woman gave the money, Hua He collected it directly according to the Statistics Bureau's charging standards, without asking for a penny more.
After they were able to take out the needle, the three were about to leave when the old man woke up and immediately called out to them, "Please don't leave yet!"
The old man got up from the bed and walked to Jiang Tuantuan. "Thank you so much, Miss Jiang. If you hadn't brought this doctor here, I might not have seen the sun today."
"It's okay, it's okay. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda."
"Miss, you want to buy my shop, right? I don't want two thousand taels of silver anymore. According to the current price, I will sell it to you for one thousand taels."
Jiang Tuantuan's eyes lit up. Really?
Are you really willing to sell it to me for one thousand taels? In fact, when I took Hua He to see him, I didn't expect the store to lower the price. This is really a pleasant surprise.
"Yes, I asked for so much before because I was worried that if I died too early, my son would be fine in every way except that he was too impatient and always wanted to get everything done in one go, so I wanted to leave him more money."
So that's how it is. Now I know the reason. Jiang Tuantuan said in surprise, "I'll bring the money tomorrow."
"good."
After Jiang Tuan Tuan and the other two left, the old woman asked, "Are you really planning to sell it to Miss Jiang for one thousand taels?"
The old man said, "Of course, people should always be grateful and repay kindness. I just hope that our son can be down-to-earth in the future and not always think about achieving success overnight."
He had just come back from buying medicine and was listening to the conversation between the two elders outside. His face was about to turn black. He just wanted to make money as soon as possible. Was there anything wrong with that? He walked out of the house feeling depressed.
Came to the street and walked aimlessly.
As he walked, he came to Jiangweilou. Looking at the booming business of Jiangweilou, he felt very sad. Before the shop was rented out, he also opened a shop by himself, but he could not make any money at all, and even lost money, so he closed the shop and rented it out.
I didn’t expect that now that it is in someone else’s hands, the store’s business is so good.
The old man wanted him to work as an accountant, which was stable. Although he earned little every month, at least it was enough for food and drink. But of course he didn't want to do that. Being an accountant for the rest of his life would be too boring.
He is still young and always wants to have a career.
He grew up reading the Four Books and Five Classics. Although he did not have the ability to enter the Imperial College, his grades in school were very good.
The more I thought about it, the more sad I felt, so I walked into Jiangweilou and had a meal.
