What Wang Tiedan said was false, but his expression was sincere and many of his words touched the hearts of the pension army.

When you are old, you have no one to rely on, and when you die, no one to worship you. That's just how it is.

Wang Tiedan took a sip of wine and continued, "It's my destiny. Just when I was about to leave, the old man in the same ward told me that there is an old Chinese doctor in Miyun who is very miraculous. He told me to go and see him. As long as I hold on, there is an 80% chance that I can be cured.

So, I strengthened my belief, rushed out of the hospital, and found the old Chinese doctor, Mr. Fei.

You know what, Mr. Fei is really amazing. He gave me eighteen needles at the back of my head and boiled two doses of medicine for me. After I drank it, I felt that my illness was almost cured.

Of course, Mr. Fei is so good, so his fee is a bit high. Not counting the consultation fee, just the two prescriptions cost 420 yuan."

Several people at the scene gasped. This is not just high, this is extremely high.

"So how much did you spend in total?" Yan Bugui asked, and everyone else wanted to know too.

Wang Tiedan stretched out five fingers.

"It cost me 500 yuan at the time. Mr. Fei said that if I want to be completely cured, I have to take two more doses of medicine."

"Wouldn't that cost another four hundred and twenty?"

"The medicine is indeed 420 yuan, but no one else can make the medicine, so Mr. Fei has to make it himself, 10 yuan per dose."

"Yes, such expensive medicine cannot be made by others. If it goes bad, it will be wasted."

The others nodded in approval.

"Later, Damao learned about Mr. Fei from me. As you know, Damao and Xiao'e have been worried because they have no children. Not only are they worried, Damao's family and Xiao'e's family are also worried, so they wanted me to take the baby over to see."

Xu Damao had just been immersed in the process of Wang Tiedan treating the patient, but now he realized that it was his turn to perform.

"Yes, we have been married for several years. It is impossible not to be anxious. Everyone is urging me to get married, but what can I do? I can only go to see a doctor secretly.

Mr. Fei said it could be cured, and I don’t know how many injections were given to Xiao’e. She took two doses of medicine, but the 500 yuan I brought with me was not enough, so it was Brother Tiedan who paid for it for me.

Lou Xiao'e was confused. What kind of medical treatment do you mean? How come I don't know anything? And they even gave me an injection? Where did they insert the needle? Is this nonsense?

But in the eyes of the three uncles and the deaf old lady, this expression was disappointment. Xu Damao, why did you say anything out loud?

Wang Tiedan took over again.

"Brother Damao, don't talk about this. As long as the disease can be cured, it is worth spending any amount of money. An old man often teaches us that neighbors should love and help each other and unite as one. I think that is right.

But I really can’t afford the 1,000 yuan for your second course of treatment.”

When they heard the number of one thousand, Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui were shocked. They definitely couldn't afford it.

Xu Damao also knew that he shouldn't pull too hard, so he waved his hands quickly.

"Brother Tiedan, you misunderstood me. Xiao'e just took 500 from her mother's family, and I also took 400 from my father. The actual shortfall is only 100."

"You scared me if you didn't tell me earlier." Wang Tiedan covered his chest with his hands, looking surprised.

"Brother Damao, let me give you 40 yuan as a donation to you and Xiao'e. You don't have to pay it back. But you can't borrow money from me for your third course of treatment. I really don't have any money."

After saying that, Wang Tiedan took out forty yuan, some in small amounts and some in whole, and stuffed it into Xu Damao's hand.

Xu Damao was polite.

"Don't worry, brother Tiedan. Consider it a loan from me. I'll pay you back when I have money."

"No, no, it's more important for you and Xiao'e to get treated. There will be many places to spend money in the future. Neighbors should help each other. This little money is nothing."

"Then thank you, Brother Tiedan."

Xu Damao accepted the money as a matter of course. The only sound in the room was silence except for the sound of the deaf old lady eating.

Wang Tiedan neither drank nor ate, but stared at the three uncles. His meaning was very clear: I took forty out of the shortfall of one hundred, and now it's your turn. If you don't take it, I'll see how you eat.

Yan Bugui wanted to run now, but his legs were held down by Yi Zhonghai. If he ran, Liu Haizhong would have to run too, and then the tradition of mutual help among neighbors that they had worked so hard to establish would collapse.

Xu Damao was also cunning. He looked at the three uncles in silence for a long time and then added another sentence.

"Three uncles, please start eating. Don't worry, I will think of a way to make up for the shortfall of 60 yuan. It's not much, and I will be able to borrow it eventually."

Yan Bugui was about to breathe a sigh of relief when Xu Damao continued, "However, I'd like to give you three a heads-up first. The third course of treatment may cost 1,200 yuan. When the time comes, you three will have to lend me more. I thank you in advance."

After saying this, he picked up the wine glass and was about to drink it all.

Yi Zhonghai hurried to stop him.

"Wait a minute."

If you drink this wine, you have to pay it back. If you drink it, you will have to borrow twelve thousand. Damn, it will take forever to pay it back.

"Da Mao, you know, even though I have a high salary, your aunt has to see a doctor all the time and can't stop taking medicine every day. I don't have much money saved, so this thirty yuan is my support for you."

After saying that, he took out some money, counted out thirty and put them on the table. Under the table, he also kicked Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui's feet.

"Then thank you, uncle. Don't worry, I will pay you back when I have money." Xu Damao took the money and said with a smile.

"No, no, seeing a doctor is important. As long as I can have a child, no matter how much it costs, it's worth it."

"Yes, Damao, the second uncle will pay twenty, don't think it's too little."

Liu Haizhong was very self-conscious, but Yan Bugui was the only one who was hesitant and really wanted to just leave.

But at this time, the matter has become a foregone conclusion. Yi Zhonghai didn't even look at him. There is only a gap of ten dollars left. If you don't make up for it, how can you continue to be the third uncle in the future?

On the other side of the table, Sha Zhu looked at the atmosphere and wanted to speak, but before he opened his mouth, he was twisted by the deaf old lady.

Yan Bugui had a bitter face and could only reluctantly take out ten yuan, roaring in his heart, "Damn it, I shouldn't have come."

"Da Mao, you know the situation of the Third Uncle. Ten dollars, don't hesitate."

Xu Damao was delighted, well, he just said a few words and got sixty yuan, half of it would be thirty yuan for each person, this table of food and wine was only a small amount, it was worth it!

"Uncle, why don't you just forget it? I'll talk to you again during my third treatment."

"No, no, please don't open your mouth. Even if you sell out the third uncle, you still don't have that much money."

"Okay, then I'll thank you, Uncle Three. When the time comes, I'll find my father-in-law and think of a way. Even if I have to force him to sell his house, I'll have to raise the money."

Xu Damao said seriously.

"Da Mao, what are you talking about?" At this time, Lou Xiao'e was unwilling.

Xu Damao’s eyes widened.

"You said house and children, which one do you choose?"

"Of course it's the child."

"That's it. Okay, everyone, drink and eat. Don't be polite."

Now that things are over, you can enjoy your meal.

Everyone at the table had their own thoughts. Yi Zhonghai took care of the deaf old lady while listening to the conversation between Wang Tiedan and Xu Damao.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui ate with relish. They had spent money today, so they had to eat and drink back. What's more, Xu Damao's cooking skills were pretty good, and the fish was stewed quite well.

The deaf old lady has always had her eyes on Sha Zhu and Lou Xiao'e, and she always thinks they are a good match. But if Lou Xiao'e gets pregnant, Sha Zhu will have no chance at all, and the process must be accelerated. What should he do?

It's easy for Shazhu. Damn, what if Xu Damao has a son? Wouldn't he be outdone again? No, he must find a wife who is prettier than Lou Xiaoe and has a son before Xu Damao.

Banggen? No, why did you think of Banggen?

Shazhu was depressed.
