He suddenly remembered the medical fees his wife had paid.
He might have even contributed to the construction of this house!
He angrily yelled at the kitchen.
"Why aren't you home cooking for me? What are you doing busying yourself at someone else's house?"
The woman in the kitchen immediately fell silent.
Everyone looked at the middle-aged woman!
Everyone knows they had a fight, but Yi Zhonghai is usually quite good-tempered, so why did he get so angry today?
The older woman was completely disrespected.
He muttered to himself, "I'm not going back to cook for you."
Taking the opportunity, Jia Zhangshi advised her, "Husbands and wives may quarrel, but they usually make up before they get out of bed. Since Master Yi has spoken, you should go back."
The three older women chimed in, "Look at the way he's glaring at you. If you don't go back, he might come in and drag you back. You'd better hurry up and leave."
These two people weren't trying to persuade her at all; they were clearly adding fuel to the fire.
The middle-aged woman immediately straightened her head and puffed out her chest.
Why should she listen to him and refuse to go back?
Didn't he say he didn't want to be with her anymore? Let's see who cooks for you and warms your bed in the future.
Unexpectedly, this usually obedient older woman dared to ignore him in front of everyone.
Yi Zhonghai immediately felt utterly humiliated.
The house purchase didn't go through.
His own wife treated him like this again.
Now that everyone in the courtyard is watching, he absolutely cannot allow himself to lose face.
He wanted to save face!
"He Hongyang, how did you cheat that old lady before? If you don't tell me the secret, you'd better give me my money back."
Hear what he said.
Everyone immediately came out of the house.
He specifically called out He Hongyang's name, which suggests that the matter is serious.
Wang Liying was the first to run out.
“Brother Hongyang is still resting at home, why are you calling him?”
Yi Zhonghai completely ignored her and shouted at the old woman.
Did he cheat you out of tens of yuan?
It seems to be about the consultation fee.
She already said that she gave the money voluntarily, and it has nothing to do with He Hongyang.
Everyone only knew that the old lady went to He Hongyang for treatment, but no one expected this to happen.
Looks like there's going to be some excitement today!
"I gave the money voluntarily. Let's talk about it at home."
Seeing that she spoke softly and seeing so many people in the courtyard, he realized that...
Yi Zhonghai stood up straight.
He felt confident again.
"Why should we talk about it at home? Let's make it clear right here. What do you mean you gave it voluntarily? He was clearly lying to you."
"Squeak!"
The door opened.
He Hongyang came out from inside.
Wang Liying, He Yushui, and Wang Lizhen all came to his side.
"Brother Hongyang, why are you up? Did they disturb you?"
As Wang Liying spoke, she was about to pour him some tea.
He looked at the older woman and asked, "Did someone lie to you?"
The woman quickly shook her head: "No, not only did you not lie to me, but you also lifted the huge stone that has been weighing on my heart for years. I am so grateful."
When Yi Zhonghai heard her say that, he was so angry that he wanted to slap her twice.
How could she be so foolish? He Hongyang's few words completely misled her, and now instead of helping her, she's speaking up for him.
"Did you take her medical fees?"
"That's right, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Of course, you have to pay for medical treatment."
Did you ask for 20 yuan at once?
"That's right, and this is just the consultation fee; the cost of the medicine is separate."
When everyone heard that he charged 20 yuan for a single consultation, they were all stunned and stood there dumbfounded.
No wonder He Hongyang can afford a house; it turns out he has this ability.
Yan Bugui excitedly scrolled through his fingers.
20 at a time.
In other words, the money he earns from treating one patient is enough to cover his family's living expenses for a month.
This is absolutely incredible!
I wonder what miraculous medical skills He Hongyang possesses.
Could you perhaps find some time to learn from him?
"Do you charge everyone 20 yuan per medical visit?"
"It varies from person to person. Some people pay 20, some pay more, and some don't have to spend any money at all."
"Then why does she need 20?"
"Her illness costs at least 20 yuan. Are you regretting it now because you can't afford it? Let me tell you, it's too late!"
He's right.
Let alone 20 yuan, even if it were more money, this old lady would give it willingly.
Then there's the old lady's illness, which she's had for years without getting better, and she's wasted so much money.
This amount of money might be a lot for others, but for her, it wasn't much at all.
...
I'm begging for your flowers and reviews, I'd be eternally grateful and will work hard to write more.
48. Spit flying everywhere
The older woman was afraid that He Hongyang would get angry.
He blurted out anxiously, "Old Yi, stop talking. This money wasn't wasted. He Hongyang has already figured it out. It's your problem. Let's beg him to treat you right away."
"Uu——"
Everyone gasped in surprise.
Although everyone knew about it before, they only discussed it quietly.
I never expected an older woman to say that.
They couldn't help but point fingers at Yi Zhonghai.
There were many questions from people who were confused and anxious.
"What exactly happened? What's wrong with Master Yi? Is it some incurable disease?"
"It looks serious, tell us quickly."
This thrilled Jia Zhangshi to no end.
Aside from the person involved, she was the first to know this news.
Hearing everyone ask that question, I felt like I had another chance to speak.
Once again, spittle flew everywhere.
"You don't know yet, Lao Yi is sick."
"Yes, it's the incurable disease you mentioned, but the problem isn't with the old lady, it's with Lao Yi."
"What illness? You don't even know that? It's just that you can't have children."
"What's wrong with Lao Yi? He just can't do it. Sigh, I can hardly even bring myself to say it."
That's what happened.
This is a serious illness. It's not enough to ask her for 20 yuan; she should be entitled to more.
Besides, she's already paid the money, received medical treatment, and been told about her symptoms. So why should she say that she was cheated?
Yi Zhonghai's family isn't well-off, and he's always liked to lecture others, so why has he become so unreasonable now that it's his turn?
Listening to everyone's discussion.
Yi Zhonghai felt that he was about to lose face.
This spendthrift woman, why does she tell everyone everything!
Besides, he has no problem at all and wouldn't seek medical treatment from He Hongyang!
He Hongyang knew exactly what he was thinking.
Pretend to take out a pulse pillow.
"How about I show you right now? It's hard to be a man, it's even harder to be a man who can't have children."
"If you can't afford it, how about I watch it for you for free?"
"Of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is to have no offspring. I know you care about your reputation, but this really has nothing to do with that old lady. It's all because of you."
"Oh, he's old enough to be a grandfather but can't hold his son. What a pitiful man."
He Hongyang was sympathizing with him.
But every sentence was directed at him.
Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he wanted to retort at the time.
Before he could even speak, an older woman spoke first.
In her view, He Hongyang was doing everything for his own good.
"Old Yi, Hong Yang has already spoken, so stop arguing."
"You've been missing your son so much that you can't sleep. As long as you get better, we can have a son."
“Although you are sick, I will not despise you because of our many years of marriage. We will see a doctor and take medicine as needed, and we will definitely get better.”
Others also tried to persuade him.
"Go ahead and take a look. We all live in the same courtyard, and we won't tell anyone."
"If your body can't handle it, you have to admit it. There's nothing to be ashamed of. Even an older woman like you doesn't mind, so don't give up on yourself."
"Oh dear, He Hongyang meant well, but don't take his kindness for granted."
They weren't trying to comfort him; they were rubbing salt into his wounds.
Why don't they tell others?
I'm afraid that once they get back, they'll grab a megaphone and spread the word everywhere!
