Chapter 107: Chapter 88: Gaining Another Treasure Chest—What’s the Reward? Traffic Jam and a Car Accident? Oh No, It’s a Pregnant Woman! [Second Update—Vote Requested]
They’re really having a hard time over here.
Don’t even mention a two million prize for a competition, even twenty thousand would be rare.
"That’s how it is. Since the kid now has a way to make money, Old Zhang, let’s just stay here and recuperate."
Xu Xiaoying said to Zhang Zhenghai at this moment.
"No way, we can’t stay! Isn’t that a waste of money!"
Zhang Zhenghai said.
Earned ten thousand after much hard work, and now it’s being sent to the hospital.
What do you call this?
"What waste of money? Take it, and when it’s used up, come home. Now the veterinarian work in the village is left to me. Just ask around, who doesn’t say Xiaozhang is better than Old Zhang?"
Zhang Lingchuan retorted directly.
After all, he’s one of the family.
Zhang Lingchuan used his own hard-earned money, and yet the other side still needed to be humble in the hospital?
You’re staying in the hospital to recuperate, so recuperate.
Why go back!
"You brat! Spending so much money and time, just because you’re better than me, you’re smug? You’re supposed to be better than me!"
Zhang Zhenghai suddenly got upset hearing this.
As a barefoot doctor himself.
The other being better than him and then getting smug.
Look at this small-minded, smug person.
But he, too, received some calls these past few days.
Each one praised his son, saying he did surgeries and such better than him.
Saying things like he should retire.
How to say this...
As a father.
Hearing these words was still pleasing.
"Your father has heard about your things too, and smiled on the phone like he ate honey, while pretending to be humble."
Xu Xiaoying laughed.
She knew only their son could persuade Old Zhang, who was as stubborn as a bull he’d treated his whole life.
The way the father and son got along felt quite fine to her.
Both a father and a friend.
"So why go home? Isn’t it just nagging? Recoup well in the hospital, and once the money’s used up, you can go home. I’ll handle matters at home. Anyway, those cattle farmers all like me making house calls, and there are no bad reviews, the only thing is hearing ’better than Old Zhang’ too much gives me calluses in my ears."
Zhang Lingchuan shrugged.
Still can’t deal with you, Zhang Zhenghai.
Going back is just to help out.
But there has to be help needed to give, right?
"You brat, alright, alright, then I’ll stay a few more days."
Old Zhang saw he couldn’t be persuaded and had to compromise.
Simultaneously, he sighed inwardly.
This brat has really grown up.
"When the time comes, I’ll help you recover the money you’re owed. You like being the kind person, so let me be the bad guy."
Zhang Lingchuan said.
Another important reason for his return was collecting debts.
He’s planning to call Boss Li tomorrow.
Ask when they can repay the 12,000 owed.
After all, his father is still in the hospital.
Your damn son gets married, daughter is married off, all need money, but his father doesn’t?
Raising so many cows, so many chickens.
Clearly having money but withholding payments, settling accounts every now and then.
"Oh right, your Uncle Li called, said he’d settle previous money with our family by the end of August after selling cattle."
At this moment, Xu Xiaoying said.
"Oh? Uncle Li actually called?"
Zhang Lingchuan looked at his mom incredulously.
He’s known for being henpecked, back then when we asked for money, they didn’t give any!
Now, they’re willing to give money.
"I don’t know why they suddenly decided to pay, maybe it’s because you asked them last time, and they feel embarrassed not to."
Xu Xiaoying said.
Because of a bit of family tie.
It’s been hard to bring up these years.
"I hardly believe they’d feel embarrassed."
Zhang Lingchuan picked a few grapes from his dad’s bedside and popped them into his mouth.
He guesses that this matter might have amplified.
Discussed by netizens, with quite an impact.
And then they took out the money.
Otherwise, Uncle Li has a bit thin skin, but as for his wife, needless to say.
"As long as they paid, it doesn’t matter. Speaking of which, I’m curious, where did you learn those skills, knowing Chinese medicine and recognizing a slippery pulse!"
Zhang Zhenghai pulled himself together, looking intently at his son.
Why does the other feel a bit unfamiliar, didn’t notice how remarkable before.
"Yeah! You could even diagnose cerebral hemorrhage! Do you know Boss Zhao called us yesterday, asking when we’d go back, son, what do you think of Xiaomei?"
Talking about this, Xu Xiaoying perked up.
Boss Zhao has recovered now.
Feeling a lot more spirited as a person.
Asking when they could visit their home for a meal.
"I say, Xiaoying, can’t you stop for one day?"
Zhang Zhenghai looking at his wife with black lines over his head.
Always has marriage on her mind every day.
"Oh come on! I’m just asking! If our son is interested, that’s a good thing!"
Xu Xiaoying ignored Old Zhang.
Instead, she looked eagerly at Zhang Lingchuan.
"Not interested."
Zhang Lingchuan replied with three simple words.
"Uh..."
Xu Xiaoying was at a loss.
Maybe just like Old Zhang said, she really doesn’t understand boys’ thoughts.
"Let’s talk business, talk business."
Old Zhang was very curious.
Those eyes shining with light.
"My mentor’s dad is a very skilled National Medical Master, learned a few tricks from him."
Even to his parents, he can’t possibly tell them he has a system.
