Chapter 91: The Return of the Dead Jia Zhangshi
"As for the cost! Considering we are old acquaintances, just give me 30 yuan!"
The doctor opened his mouth wide like a lion, demanding 30 yuan from Shazhu.
"What? Thirty? You couldn't sell me for 30," Shazhu said, his face full of disbelief.
If he could pull out 30 yuan, he wouldn't have come to this crappy clinic; he would have gone straight to Hongxing Hospital.
But the doctor's attitude was also very firm; after all, he had just treated them and used medicine, so if this money wasn't paid, it would absolutely not be over.
Qin Huairu, standing to the side, looked at Shazhu with longing eyes, but since they truly couldn't afford it in this situation, she had to ask the doctor in a low, humble voice: "I beg you, can you make it cheaper? Is ten yuan okay?"
"Ten yuan isn't impossible..."
The doctor stood in front of the two, shaking his head, then gave a lewd smile and leered at them: "How about this! I see the beauty inside is quite badly hurt; let her stay here for one more night, and I will treat her well."
"As for the medical fees, I'll just charge you ten yuan!"
Hearing this, Shazhu couldn't help but tighten his sphincter, and even Qin Huairu's stomach began to churn. Was the "beauty inside" referring to her mother-in-law, Jia Zhangshi? That fat pig, and she's a beauty?
As for what would happen if Jia Zhangshi were left behind, the two didn't even dare to think about it, but if it could be cheaper and only cost ten yuan, then let him do as he pleased.
"Sister Qin, look at this, after all, it's your mother-in-law," Shazhu asked tentatively.
Qin Huairu nodded vigorously. Seeing this, the doctor was immediately overjoyed, went back into the room to scrape some wall dust to make a few doses of medicine for Bang Geng and Jia Dongxu, and then hauled the two of them out.
"Bang Geng, Bang Geng! Doctor, is my son okay?" Qin Huairu's face was full of worry; at this moment, Bang Geng was still unconscious.
The doctor just symbolically stroked his smooth chin and said very confidently: "Don't worry! The patients I've treated to death—ah, no, the patients I've cured—number at least a thousand, if not a hundred."
"Silly Pillar was treated here when he was a child. Look at him now, isn't he growing up strong and tall, a full one meter seventy?"
Seeing the doctor patting his chest in guarantee, Qin Huairu finally felt at ease. Jia Dongxu directly ordered Shazhu to throw them onto the flatbed cart to pull them back. Qin Huairu held Bang Geng in her arms, and after Shazhu paid the money, they prepared to return.
Seeing the two walking further and further away, the clinic doctor's eyes narrowed into slits. He had earned another ten yuan for nothing today, and there was still the unconscious Jia Zhangshi in the room; he had made a killing today!
"My little darling, let me treat you well!"
Afterward, the doctor walked with his hands behind his back, a smile on his lips, and swaggered back to his clinic.
Three days later.
Jia Dongxu and Bang Geng took the medicine made of wall dust once a day, and their condition had indeed improved greatly; the diarrhea had been suppressed, and they were even a bit constipated when going to the toilet.
Every time they went to the toilet, they had to bring a small wooden stick.
"Bitch, how could you be so at ease leaving my mother in that black clinic? If something happens to her, I won't be finished with you!"
Jia Dongxu was now full of energy and began to boss Qin Huairu around again, especially since he was even more furious knowing that Jia Zhangshi hadn't returned for these few days.
"Dongxu, I did this for Mother's own good. The doctor said she was quite ill and must be treated for a few more days," Qin Huairu said nonchalantly while washing clothes.
"Hmph!"
Jia Dongxu snorted coldly and was just about to continue scolding when Bang Geng, who was playing outside, suddenly shouted, "Grandma is back!"
Hearing the sound, Jia Dongxu immediately rolled off the bed and crawled out at high speed, his hands moving like a grasshopper.
Outside.
Jia Zhangshi was leaning on a cane, holding two crucian carp in her other hand, walking with a sway; it looked like her legs weren't doing very well.
However, her face was rosy and her eyes were sparkling, making those who saw her tremble in their boots.
"Mom, you're back, you worried me to death," Jia Dongxu's hanging heart finally settled.
At the same time, his eyes were fixed on the two large crucian carp in Jia Zhangshi's hand.
Tears of worry flowed from the corners of his mouth again.
"Mom, where did these two fish come from?" Jia Dongxu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and couldn't help but ask.
Bang Geng, standing to the side, was also cheering and jumping for joy.
They had just eaten chicken a few days ago, and he didn't expect to have fish today!
"Eat fish! Eat fish!"
Seeing these two unfilial descendants who were so happy they were about to jump, Jia Zhangshi couldn't help but curse: "Eat, eat, eat! You two only know how to eat. Do you know what kind of life I've lived these past two days?"
Jia Dongxu: "What kind of life?"
"Damn it, of course, it was a life of getting injections and taking medicine," Jia Zhangshi's old face flushed, and she suddenly stuttered a bit.
These two fish were given to her by the clinic doctor when she left, just to help her nourish her body, and she had to go back for a follow-up in two days.
But this time, their Jia Family could finally eat meat openly and honestly.
Jia Zhangshi looked triumphant.
Carrying the two fish in her hand, she walked through the Front Courtyard, the Middle Courtyard, and the Back Courtyard. At this time of day, everyone was at home eating, and they were all shocked by this scene.
They didn't expect the Jia Family to be able to eat such good things; this fish meat was no worse than chicken, especially Third Uncle Yan Bugui, who had loved eating fish since he was a child, and he was so envious he couldn't stand it.
"This old woman is eating fish now; where did their family get the money, and why are they being so blatant about it?" someone asked.
"Didn't you see Jia Zhangshi hadn't returned for several days? Maybe she went out to sell her ass..."
"Impossible, who has that hobby? Is there anyone who would covet a fat pig who lost half an ass?"
"........."
Jia Zhangshi was full of triumph and, for a rare moment, didn't scold Qin Huairu, but handed the two fish to her and told her to hurry up and put them in the pot to stew. "Today our family will move the dining table into the courtyard, and not in the Back Courtyard; we'll move it directly to the Middle Courtyard, right in front of Zhao Gangzi's door!"
"Right, let's make him envious too! Hehe..."
Jia Dongxu rubbed his hands, already unable to wait.
However, Zhao Gangzi hadn't returned yet today, and they didn't know where he had gone. Since they were finally eating fish, they had to make him witness this great moment.
During these days, Lou Xiaoe and Zhao Gangzi had been getting closer and closer, and Zhao Gangzi also had that intention. Lou Xiaoe was impatient; having finally met a man she liked, she absolutely couldn't let him go.
Lou Bancheng had also met Zhao Gangzi a few times and felt this young man was good. Even Factory Director Yang Feng had intentionally or unintentionally played matchmaker for the two. Now, almost every employee at the Rolling Mill knew that Zhao Gangzi was dating the eldest daughter of the Lou Family.
And today.
With Zhao Gangzi's consent, Lou Xiaoe decided to take her family to be guests at Zhao Gangzi's home.
She wanted to conduct a field inspection of the environment where Zhao Gangzi lived.
