Chapter 759: Do you still have the nerve to eat fruit?
An average family cannot afford such a high amount of medical expenses. In the past two days, Wang Dehou could not eat during the day and could not sleep at night. Wang Dehou, who had originally planned to give up treatment, now breathed a sigh of relief.
Who would want to be disabled if they can be healthy?
After chatting for a few minutes, the woman got up and went to pay the medical bills she had overdue.
Seeing this, Chen Jun and Wang Xia followed over and asked what procedures were required for transferring to another hospital.
The old man watched them leave the ward and couldn't help but sigh: "Old Wang, your nephew seems more reliable than your own son. He came to the hospital to visit you and actually bought you so many gifts."
"My goodness, do you know how much these things cost? An average city worker's monthly salary might not even cover it."
"Oh, there's also a big watermelon. Watermelons are rare in this season. Each one costs five or six yuan."
The depression in his heart was swept away, and Wang Dehou was now in the mood to chat with the old man.
He took the apple the old man threw to him, took a bite, and praised it, saying, "Hey, watermelon or not, it's not as delicious as your apple!"
"If you ask me, why buy all these fancy things? It's a waste of money. You might as well buy a bag of apples."
ha? ?
The old man was stunned, looked at Wang Dehou with complicated eyes, and was so angry that he laughed.
You old man, are you showing off to me now?
Isn’t it just a good nephew?
But a nephew is a nephew after all, and can never compare to one's own son.
So the old man raised his eyebrows and began to poke Wang Dehou's lungs.
"Old Wang, I heard you and your wife say your son opened a restaurant? Oh my, why open a restaurant at this time? He'll lose a lot of money!"
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Wang Dehou, who was chewing an apple, choked and coughed a few times, then glared at the old man unhappily.
It’s really a matter of which pot should not be opened.
But what the old man said was indeed true. His son Wang Tao was fooled into running a public-private joint venture restaurant on impulse and indeed lost a lot of money.
He has no cooking skills, no experience, and no management skills.
It would be strange if I didn’t pay compensation!
"That bastard, I will have to teach him a lesson sooner or later!" Wang Dehou sighed.
Just as he finished speaking, a familiar figure walked in from outside, breathing heavily.
"Dad, I worked in vain today. I didn't borrow any money, and no one is taking over the restaurant."
The visitor was Wang Dehou's son Wang Tao. He had gone out to raise money today, but none of his usual friends wanted to see him, as if they had agreed on something.
Either he is not at home or he has gone to the city.
Wang Dehou glanced at Wang Tao, snorted coldly and said nothing.
Those bad friends may be fine with food and drink normally, but when they really need help, they run away faster than anyone else.
In comparison, his nephew has made steady progress and has already taken a leadership position in the steel mill. He is much better than this confused son.
"Dad, don't be angry. I will definitely be able to sell the store tomorrow." Wang Tao also knew that he had done something wrong, but the thing had already happened, and there was no point in sulking.
The most important thing right now is to raise money!
Just as he finished speaking, Wang Tao suddenly noticed a big watermelon placed next to the bed.
He had been running all the way here, his throat was already smoking, and he couldn't take his eyes off the big watermelon.
"Dad, where did this big watermelon come from?"
"There are also canned food, fruit, and oh my, why is there malted milk!!"
Wang Tao was very thirsty, so he simply opened a can of yellow peaches and started drinking it.
Wang Tao couldn't help shivering when he drank the sweet canned water.
So sweet!
He hadn't eaten for a day, but after drinking two sips of canned yellow peach water, he immediately felt refreshed.
"You bastard, you're quite good at picking out good things. Why are you opening a can instead of drinking the water?"
Wang Dehou said unhappily that this can of food was a gift from his nephew, and it was opened by Wang Tao before he could even taste it.
But since he was Wang Tao's father, he didn't try to stop him except to curse him a few times.
But it really hurts.
Such good canned yellow peaches should be saved for entertaining relatives during the Chinese New Year.
"Just eat the canned food and don't touch anything else!"
Wang Dehou gave a worried warning, but this sentence seemed to remind Wang Tao. He screwed on the can and began to pick up the gifts on the ground one by one.
No matter whether it is watermelon, fruit, or malted milk, Wang Tao likes to eat them all.
"Dad, who sent all these? When did a rich relative appear in our family?" Wang Tao counted the gifts and felt something was wrong.
These things are too valuable.
Even when he went to his wife's house to propose marriage, he only brought a few decent gifts, which were less than one-third of the gifts in front of him.
Especially malted milk, this thing is ridiculously expensive and people in the city are reluctant to buy it.
And this fruit, you can tell from the packaging that it was bought from the supply and marketing cooperative.
Wang Tao, who had just quenched his thirst, couldn't help licking his lips when he saw this exquisite fruit.
But before he could start to remove the rope, a slap landed on his head.
"You bastard, you still have the nerve to eat fruit!"
Wang Dehou snatched the fruit away and said to Wang Tao in a bad mood.
"Dad, I haven't eaten for a whole day!" Wang Tao rubbed his head a little aggrievedly. "I ran around outside all day to collect the medical expenses."
Seeing so many valuable gifts, Wang Tao was not so worried anymore.
The relative who is willing to spend money on these things must be from a wealthy family. I can raise the medical expenses by borrowing some money from them.
"Don't be angry with me here. You should go back and think about how to make back the money you lost."
"What can I do if the cook runs away!" To avoid being scolded again, Wang Tao changed the subject and asked, "Dad, you still haven't told me who bought these things!"
"They're so rich, let's borrow some money from them first. I'll pay them back after I sell the restaurant."
Wang Dehou glanced at him and said, "That was bought by your cousin."
"What the hell? My cousin?"
When Wang Tao heard this, he felt disappointed again.
The last time Wang Xia brought Chen Jun to visit relatives at their home, although things were better than before and they even bought a bicycle, they were still an ordinary family.
It’s unlikely that he could afford the medical expenses of several hundred dollars.
Just as he was thinking about it, Wang Tao looked up and saw Wang Xia and others walking in.
"Aunt, Xiaojun!"
Wang Tai was a little surprised that they hadn't left yet, and the next second he saw the payment slip in Chen Jun's hand.
"Aunt, why did you pay the money?" Wang Tao asked in surprise.
Chen Jun smiled and patted his cousin's shoulder. "The doctor said they don't have the conditions to put in a steel plate here. We need to transfer to the city as soon as possible. Brother Tao, you're back just in time. Let's pack up and transfer now."
