Chapter 126: Settlement
Father Lin was so ill that he had difficulty even getting up, so Zhao Sheng had to be responsible for supporting and carrying him.
The two comrades assigned by the farm manager were mainly responsible for surveillance and occasionally lending a hand.
Along the way, Zhao Sheng pulled the cart, and Yang Rongguang and Ma Jiping helped push the cart.
Zhao Sheng carried Lin's father directly, along with his bedding roll, onto a cart piled with straw. He no longer stubbornly refused to see a doctor. He was angry and wanted to settle the score with his enemies, without showing any sign of worry or despair.
Lin Yiyi followed him all the way, wiping the man's sweat with a handkerchief from time to time and feeding him water from a kettle. Fortunately, the journey was not far and they could reach the town in more than half an hour.
As for Lin Jie, her nominal father, Lin Yiyi didn't seem to have the energy to care about him at all. He was really a stranger to her.
She asked Zhao Sheng to lend him money for his medical treatment as a favor in exchange for using the original owner's household registration information.
From now on, no one will owe anyone anything and no one will restrict anyone else.
The man worked hard as a rickshaw puller and was sweating profusely, but Lin Yiyi was always circling around him.
Lin Yiyi was gentle, considerate and attentive to him, otherwise he would not have taken on this tiring job.
When I arrived at the town clinic, the doctor examined me for a long time and said it was pneumonia. It was because I had been waiting for a long time that the condition developed. In addition, I was suffering from malnutrition and physical weakness. I needed to rest in bed more, drink plenty of water, and have intravenous drips for a week. Once the fever stopped, there would be no problem.
The key point is to rest more in the future, but life on a farm might be a bit difficult.
Lin Yiyi paid for seven days of infusion at one time, plus some western medicine, a total of 12 yuan.
The content of the letter she had read before sounded like the person was about to pass away at any time, and she was so scared that she thought it was some serious illness that would bankrupt her family and everything else, and she thought it was the same as in modern times.
Fortunately it was just a false alarm.
As long as you get intravenous drips for a few days, get enough nutrition, and take good care of yourself, there won't be any problem.
She didn't know much about farm life, but she could guess about it by looking at the living environment. She didn't have the ability to arrange anything for others, so this was all she could do.
Zhao Sheng and Lin Yiyi took eight days off, and including the time spent on the round-trip train, they could only stay here for two days.
Considering the actual situation, you must return before the expiration date on the letter of introduction.
Lin Yiyi was worried that after they left, no one would take Lin's father to get an IV. Judging from the accommodation conditions of Lin's father's large bunk bed, men and women on the farm lived separately, and Lin's mother had no way to keep an eye on him all the time.
His eyes fell on Yang Rongguang and Ma Jiping. It seemed that he had to rely on these two men.
It was almost noon, and the four of them were sitting on a bench waiting for Lin's father to get an infusion. Lin Yiyi was sitting at the edge, quietly poking Zhao Sheng and signaling with her eyes that she had something to say to him.
Zhao Sheng glanced at her sideways, stood up and walked out. Lin Yiyi followed him directly, and they stopped when they reached the wall outside the house.
Lin Yiyi asked him with difficulty, "It's almost noon, what are we going to do for lunch later?"
"You come with me to eat, and the two of them will stay here. I'll bring them lunch when I come back." The man said calmly. He thought Lin Yiyi wanted to discuss something with him in a sneaky way.
Lin Yiyi: “…” But now she has the reputation of being a filial daughter who traveled thousands of miles to save her father, and it would seem like it would ruin her image if she didn’t stay by the bed.
Zhao Sheng saw through her thoughts, sneered, and said coldly: "Can you save one bottle of infusion by watching over it?"
He didn't want to take two big men out to eat. He wasn't going to be taken advantage of.
It seems so.
Lin Yiyi thought of the man's frugality on the train. She could afford the expenses herself and the other expenses were also within her budget, although she was not well off.
You can still squeeze it in by gritting your teeth.
"I don't need to borrow money from you for my dad's medical treatment this time. I'll pay for all the expenses and train tickets for you to accompany me. I calculated that the round trip ticket for the two of us is 66 yuan, plus three meals a day for these eight days, it's almost 75 yuan in total, but I don't have the receipts, so I'll use yours, so the total is 80 yuan, okay?"
It is best not to owe favors if you can avoid it.
The cost was still within the expected controllable range and within her acceptable level.
Zhao Sheng helped her with work and ideas, so she had to take on this responsibility, so naturally she couldn't ask him to pay. After Lin Yiyi calculated the bill, she took out a stack of bills from the pocket inside her coat, counted out eighty, and handed it to Zhao Sheng.
But the man didn't answer at all. He just looked down at her. His expression became uglier with every word she said. As soon as Lin Yiyi finished the last two words, the man kicked the small stone at his feet and it flew over the wall and far away.
Zhao Sheng looked at her and snorted coldly.
His face looked extremely ugly.
