Chapter 128 Try your best to satisfy
"It's okay. I'll go and investigate first. I won't just let my third brother become your disciple directly." Lin Lu comforted Sister Liu.
Then, she touched her back teeth and said, "I have a wisdom tooth that grew out when I was thirteen. Now it has become a decayed tooth. I just want to have it extracted."
"Okay, I'll lead the way for you." Sister Liu felt relieved.
Lin Li remembered that there was a small hole in the middle of his front tooth, and he had to get it repaired soon. He could also see if the master would do this.
People in this era do not take good care of their teeth. When they have a toothache, if the decay is severe, they will have it extracted. If it is not severe, they will just keep it fixed. Very few people are willing to spend money on dental fillings.
Therefore, there are very few dentists who can perform diamond fillings, and Lin Li decided to test the master's skills.
By the way, she had to call her third brother Lin Fu, who had been accompanying Liu Jinduo in the ward recently.
After finding Lin Fu, Lin Li explained her purpose and asked her third brother to go with her.
Lin Fu kept saying that learning this craft was useless. Nowadays, people only thought about how to have enough food and clothes. After having enough food and clothes, they would think about buying some decent things. They couldn't fall behind in fashion. Who would focus on their teeth?
Eat when you can, and use the few teeth you have left when you are old. When they all fall out, just buy a full mouth of dentures. In other words, when you have a toothache, see a doctor. Who would bother with that if it doesn't hurt?
Lin Li listened patiently to Lin Fu's ramblings, and then asked seriously: "Third brother, if I think it's okay, you must refute me, right?"
Liu Jinduo on the side quickly pulled Lin Fu and said, "Lin Fu, don't quarrel with Li Li. Li Li is the most far-sighted in arranging things..."
Lin Fu thought about it and realized that if Lin Li had not helped Liu Jinduo deal with such an important matter, he and Liu Jinduo would have never had a peaceful life.
He would work hard to earn the betrothal gift and try his best to satisfy whatever the bride wanted at one time, but he also knew that Liu Gang and his wife were greedy people.
If there is no certificate of severance of relationship between Liu Gang and Liu Jinduo, then what he will have to deal with in the future is a bottomless pit.
He said that he could give up Liu Jinduo and find another one, but feelings have already been given and it is really difficult to take them back.
Lin Fu had never imagined that there was such a thing as severing a relationship.
Even after Lin Li had operated it and succeeded, he still found it incredible.
So now, think about the foresight and good skills his sister has...
Look at Lin Li's cold face again...
He was scared and stammered, "Sister, I don't mean anything special, I just feel that...if I can't make money in the future, my family will have to worry about me..."
Lin Li then asked, "So after three months, it will be ten yuan a month. Are you satisfied? Lunch is provided."
Lin Fu immediately said: "Of course!"
In the countryside, if a laborer could earn 20 yuan a year after working for a year, excluding the various levies on public grain, he would consider it quite good.
Lin Li remembered from a book that from the late 1980s until the 21st century, the county had been plagued by drought, and the harvest of crops became worse and worse. If they only grew crops, they could not even feed the whole family.
Fortunately, the grain levies in the later period have been exempted.
So after the 1990s, most villagers in Sanhe Village planted Red Fuji apples. The mountainous area is sandy soil, and the apples grown there taste better.
Then I gradually gave up growing wheat, and in addition to managing the orchard, I also planted some peanuts, beans, and corn.
Let’s get back to the present.
Lin Fu readily said "OK", and then said: "This old man said so, what if he doesn't give me 10 yuan a month in the future? It's not good for us to quarrel with him, right?"
Although Lin Fu had a bad temper, he was kind-hearted and could not bear to be cruel to the elderly and children.
Lin Li said, "It's okay. We just need to learn the skills. If you don't pay us, we can find another place to work. I'll make the arrangements when the time comes. Don't worry about it."
Lin Fu said, "That's fine. As long as you think it's okay, it's fine. As long as nothing goes wrong in the future, I'm afraid you'll despise me for not being able to bring money home. I don't care about that bad reputation..."
"Don't worry. Reputation is just a minor issue. Third brother and his wife will have to get married and have children in the future. Third brother will be responsible for supporting the family. I have thought about all this."
Hearing Lin Li say this, Liu Jinduo felt shy.
Lin Fu had no objection. Just as he was about to accompany Lin Li out, Liu Jinduo came to beg Lin Li, saying that she was going to be discharged and really didn't want to stay in the hospital any longer.
Lin Li agreed and immediately arranged for Liu Jinduo to be discharged from the hospital.
While the process was going on, Dean Cheng rushed over upon hearing the news.
Dean Cheng sighed and said to Lin Li: "Comrade Lin Li, some of the things you did were... so disloyal. You said that I gave you a free house, and you said you didn't want it for free. But now, after spending 800 yuan, why did you apply for reimbursement from the organization? Aren't you making it difficult for me?"
Lin Li asked in surprise: "What? You mean, the 800 yuan that the organization reimbursed me was from you? Oh, I really don't know about this..."
Dean Cheng almost vomited blood. He waved his hands anxiously: "No, no! How can the organization ask me for money?"
"Then why is it so difficult for you?" Lin Li was bewildered. "The money was given to me by the organization, not by you... Otherwise, I should go ask the organization what's going on?"
"Oh my aunt, please don't ask! What I mean is just... just saying... I wanted to give Comrade Ling Xiao a house for free... Do you still remember this?"
"Remember," Lin Li said, "the free house is not this one, but those junky ones..."
"No..." Dean Cheng almost vomited blood again, "Comrade Lin Li, why do you talk like that?"
Lin Li looked at the electronic watch on his wrist: "Hey, Dean Cheng, I'm so sorry, I have something important to do now. Regarding the reimbursement, I didn't apply for it. How could I have the ability to do it? That was done by Su Zhen, why don't you go and settle the bill with him? Now please help me to complete the discharge procedures as soon as possible, and I will pay off the medical expenses owed in one lump sum..."
Dean Cheng didn't dare to go to Su Zhen to ask. Even if he regretted it now, he didn't dare to disturb Su Zhen!
So now, Dean Cheng simply told Lin Li that all medical expenses were waived and the deposit paid previously could be fully refunded.
Lin Li: “?”
Is there such a good thing?
Lin Li said worriedly: "Director Cheng, if you really want to waive all medical expenses for my husband, I will thank you. And I am willing to accept your kindness. But Liu Jinduo is not a war hero, so..."
"I heard that she will be your relative in the future, Comrade Lin Li, we are destined to meet. I must give you enough face. Don't worry, I keep my word. I will settle all the bills in front of you..." Dean Cheng gritted his teeth. For the sake of his own reputation in the future and his image in front of Lin Li and Su Zhen, it was not too late for him to perform well now.
In the end, Lin Li didn't have time to continue negotiating with Dean Cheng. Since Dean Cheng was indeed sincere enough, Lin Li wouldn't be so itchy that he had to spend money, so he might as well save money.
