Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

Chapter 233

Skin trauma.

Although the injury was not serious, it was difficult to clean up because there was a lot of sand and gravel embedded in the skin and flesh.

The anesthetic the doctor gave was not very effective, and the pain was so severe that Lin Gang's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Not to mention Lin Shu, even Dabao felt his scalp tingling when he saw it.

After they finally cleaned and bandaged their palms, the doctor asked them to go to the injection room to get an anti-inflammatory injection.

Lin Gang came out of the treatment room. Seeing him grimacing, Lin Shu asked, "Does it still hurt?"

"What do you think? That fucking doctor used disinfectant to wash the wound, and it hurt so much that I almost jumped up." Lin Gang looked resentful.

The wound had been bandaged, and Li Wan felt relieved at this moment. After listening to his words, she held back her smile and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his face.

"Today I am going to teach you a lesson. Let's see if you dare to come over and watch the fun next time."

When Lin Gang heard what Li Wan said, he said with a wronged look on his face: "Wife, you don't feel sorry for me at all. Your man is like this, and you are still here making sarcastic remarks."

Li Wan couldn't help laughing: "Okay, I won't say anything more. I'll get you something delicious to replenish your body when I get back."

"That's more like it." Lin Gang finally had a smile on his face.

Lin Shu frowned slightly. Why didn't she know that Lin Gang had such a childish side before? "Don't be happy too soon. You have a wound on your hand. You can't eat many delicacies in Yangcheng, especially those that cause inflammation."

The smile on Lin Gang's face froze.

Lin Shu smiled with great satisfaction, turned to Li Wan and said, "Sister-in-law, wait for Gu Jiu and the others to come back tonight, and go out for dinner together. I heard that there is a lot of seafood in Yangcheng, and it is cheaper than inland. Let's go for a seafood feast tonight."

When Lin Gang heard this, he immediately became greedy, "I have never eaten seafood before, I want to eat it!"

The doctor who had just treated Lin Gang's wound had just cleaned up the treatment room, and as soon as he came out, he heard the patient say that he wanted to eat seafood.

Out of doctor's instinct, he reminded: "Seafood is an allergic food. It's best not to eat it until your wound heals. Also, you haven't eaten it before. It would be even more troublesome if you are allergic to seafood."

Li Wan was shocked when she heard what the doctor said: "Ah, I can't eat it?"

The doctor smiled and said, "My advice is that you'd better not eat it before the wound heals."

"For the sake of your health, don't eat." Li Wan patted the devastated Lin Gang on the shoulder comfortingly.

Seeing him being humiliated, Lin Shu felt relieved and consoled him, "Don't worry, we'll have a seafood feast. Since you're a wounded soldier and can't eat, I'll ask the waiter to make you a bowl of plain noodles."

Lin Gang snorted coldly and turned his head to the side, "You have been good at poking my lungs since you were a child. You feel happy when you see me unhappy."

Li Wan patted Lin Gang's arm and said, "Stop talking, hurry to the injection room to get an anti-inflammatory injection."

There were quite a few people getting injections, and there were several people queuing up in front.

Seeing that it would not be his turn for a while, Lin Shu carried Dabao to the hospital lobby, where there were plenty of chairs where he could sit and wait.

This hospital is a factory-run hospital of a machinery factory. Most of the patients who come here for treatment are employees of the machinery factory. They are wearing the factory's work clothes and can be recognized at a glance.

Another part should be the employees' family members who come here for medical treatment.

Lin Shu and Dabao sat in the hall, carefully observing the various patients coming in and out.

"Doctor, could you please help me find out how much money Su Biaoliang owes?"

The toll collector took the number plate handed over by the young man and checked the account book. "You already owe thirty-five dollars and sixty-three cents. If you don't pay tomorrow, Su Biaoliang will stop taking the medicine."

Su Biaoliang?

Dabao's attention was immediately attracted by the sound from the toll window.

"Doctor, can you give me a couple more days before sending the payment notice? I'm already trying to find a way to raise the money. I will pay it back the day after tomorrow at the latest."

The young man's begging voice also attracted Lin Shu's attention.

Standing in line at the front of the window was a tall, thin young man with very fair skin that looked a bit sickly pale.

He leaned against the window, trying his best to meet the toll collector's gaze inside so that he could see his begging eyes.

"This is the hospital's rule. I can't make any concessions for you. The last time you owed money, your attending doctor guaranteed it for you. If you continue to owe money, it will implicate the doctor who guaranteed you."

"Is there really nothing the doctor can do?"

The cashier shook his head and said, "Su Bangliang is no longer an employee of our factory and cannot enjoy the preferential policies of the hospital. Find a way to pay the money before tomorrow. Well, if you don't pay, let's go to the next person!"

The person behind him gently pushed the young man aside and continued to lean over the window to pay.

Lin Shu confirmed that he didn't know the other person, so he lowered his head and asked Dabao: "You are staring at him, do you know this person?"

Dabao tugged at her sleeve.

Lin Shu understood immediately and pulled up her skirt to block the sight of others.

Dabao took out his phone and typed, "I have never met Su Bangliang, but I know his name. I wonder if it is the same person."

Lin Shu asked curiously, "Who is Su Bangliang?"

"Xiao Fen's grandfather is Su Biaoliang. I have seen Su Biaoliang's tablet in their home before."

"My daughter-in-law's grandfather, isn't that my in-law's grandfather?" Lin Shu reacted now, "Then that young man just now couldn't be your future father-in-law, right?"

"I can't recognize my father-in-law's voice when he was young. Carry me over and let me have a frontal view."

Lin Shu immediately picked up Dabao and chased after the distraught figure.

But before she could catch up, the young man was blocked by a couple.

"Aiguo, have you paid your father's medical bills?"

Su Aiguo looked at the visitor and shook his head: "No, uncle, you and my father are brothers, can't you lend us money to help us through this difficult time?"

Su Bangjie looked embarrassed, "Aiguo, it's not that I'm heartless and don't want to help, but we've already spent all our savings on your brother's wedding, and now we don't have any cash on hand."

Su Bangjie's wife, Su Aiguo's aunt, stood up at this time.

"Aiguo, we can't help you even if we want to. We have tried every possible way to help you this time.

Finally, Xiaojun's parents-in-law said that if you are willing, they will pay for your house, and you can help pay for your father's medical expenses when you have money.

And your brother will have a house to get married, what a great thing, the best of both worlds, we each get what we need."

Su Aiguo looked at Su Bangjie helplessly, "Uncle, if I sell the house, where will my dad live when he is discharged from the hospital? Where will he go to recuperate? If we don't have a house, our family will be left with nothing and will have to wander the streets."

Su Bangjie lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and patted Su Aiguo on the shoulder:

"Love your country. There will always be a way out. Right now, finding a way to cure your father's illness is the most important thing. It's not too late to think about the future. If I don't raise money to treat your father, will he still have a future?"

Lin Shu looked at the hesitant Su Aiguo and raised his eyebrows: "Su Aiguo? He is really your father-in-law."

Dabao nodded and stared at the people not far away.

"If I remember correctly, I heard from my mother-in-law that she sold the ancestral home to my uncle's family in order to pay for the old man's medical treatment. Before the house was sold, it was agreed that the house would be sold to him, and when your father was discharged from the hospital, she would lend you a house to live in for a year, and then move out when the old man recovered."

"As a result, after they got the house, they turned against their will and kicked the old man and your father-in-law out?"

Dabao nodded. This was not the most painful thing. The most painful thing was that the city developed later and the ancestral home was demolished when the city was demolished. Tens of millions of dollars went into the pockets of his uncles and others.

Their family took off and became multi-millionaires, while my father-in-law's family worked hard all their lives and their savings did not exceed one million.

In fact, everyone knows that saying that the money came from Xiaojun's parents-in-law is just an excuse, and the money is the savings of his uncle and his wife.

Their goal is to get hold of Su Bangliang's ancestral home. As for the deep brotherly love, it does not exist at all.

Lin Shu was not very clear about the details of how his in-laws sold the house, so he lowered his head and asked, "Did your father-in-law tell you how much the house was sold for?"

"One thousand dollars."

Lin Shu nodded: "A penny can make a hero fall. One thousand yuan is not a lot, but it is also not a little. For a family that has lost their job, one thousand yuan is a huge sum of money."

Dabao nodded and typed into his phone: "Well, now that they're gone, I don't think my father-in-law will make it to tomorrow. He should agree to their suggestion tonight and sell the house to them in exchange for a thousand yuan for the old man's medical treatment."

Lin Shu patted Dabao who wanted to help, and walked towards his future in-laws who were about to collapse.

"Comrade, I want to ask you something."

Sitting on the steps, Su Aiguo, with a depressed look on his face, slowly raised his head and found a beautiful woman holding a child, looking at him with a smile on her face.

He pointed at himself and asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you talking to me?"

Lin Shu's mouth twitched slightly after hearing this. It was so obvious and yet he still asked. This future in-law's brain was a little slow to react.

Lin Shu smiled and repeated, "Yes, I think you are a local. I want to ask you if there is a house for rent nearby?"

"Do you want to rent a house?" Su Aiguo perked up and tried hard to recall the conditions of the houses nearby.

Lin Shu nodded: "Yes, I want to rent a house."

Su Aiguo smiled bitterly and shook his head: "As far as I know, the people living nearby have so many people that their own houses are not big enough to accommodate them, so how can they rent a house to you?"

Lin Shu smiled sheepishly: "I just overheard your conversation with those two people. Did I hear that your house is for sale?"

The family scandal was overheard by passers-by, and Su Aiguo turned his head away in embarrassment, "My father is seriously ill and needs money to save his life. I'm sorry to have let you laugh at me."

"You will always encounter difficulties in your life. Don't back down when you encounter difficulties. Keep persisting and it will eventually pass." Lin Shu comforted.

As she spoke, she changed her tone and said, "However, the housing supply in the city is tight now, so I advise you not to sell your house. Otherwise, if you don't have your own house in the future, you will be like a wanderer in the city, wandering around, and there is no place that you can feel safe."

Su Aiguo smiled bitterly, looked up at the sky, and tried to hold back the tears in his eyes. "I don't want to sell it, but my father's condition can't be delayed. I have to sell it!"

In this world, relatives are unwilling to lend a helping hand.

Not only do they not lend a helping hand, they also want to take advantage of your illness to kill you and make you sell your house at a low price.

This is taking advantage of someone's misfortune.

“You can rent it.”

"rent?"

Su Aiguo was a little confused and looked at Lin Shu in confusion.

Lin Shu looked at him with a look of "Why are you so stupid?" and said, "Yes, rent. I'm looking to rent a house now, and you have one. You rent the house to me and I'll pay you the rent. You'll have money to pay for your father's medical expenses, and you don't have to sell the house. You can keep the house, so you get the best of both worlds."

Su Aiguo was tempted, but he still had concerns, "That little rent doesn't seem to be enough to pay for my father's medical expenses."

"Since you are in need and have a kind heart, I can pay one year's rent in one lump sum."

The annual rent is not small, enough for Su Aiguo to cope with the current difficulties.

After Lin Shu and Su Aiguo finished their talk and returned to the hospital lobby, Lin Gang and Li Wan were already waiting anxiously in the lobby.

"Little sister, where did you take Dabao?" Li Wan ran up to her and asked with concern.

Lin Shu smiled apologetically: "I went to the bathroom."

Lin Gang walked over, looked at Lin Shu and Dabao, then looked at Su Aiguo, "Who is this?"

Lin Shu introduced: "Oh, this is Comrade Su Aiguo. He heard that we wanted to rent a house. It just so happened that his family had a house for rent, so he wanted to take us to check out the situation."

"Ok?"

Li Wan and Lin Gang looked at each other. When did they decide to rent a house?

However, when the couple thought about the cost of staying in a hotel for one day, they thought Lin Shu wanted to save money and did not ask any more questions.

Li Wan agreed, "Renting a house is good, it's cost-effective, and staying in a hotel is too uneconomical."

Thinking about the room fees she had spent these days, Li Wan felt pain in her heart.

In order not to waste time, Su Aiguo immediately took them to see the house.

Su Aiguo lives in an urban village in Yangcheng, not far from the factory hospital of the machinery factory.

The house is an ancestral home. It is an old-style building that looks a bit old, but it is well maintained.

The house was cleaned very well and the items were kept tidy.

"How many rooms do you want to rent? In addition to the common main hall, my house has two side rooms on the left and right, and two side rooms in the back. My father and I will live in one room, so I can only rent five rooms to you. The kitchen can be shared."

Su Aiguo briefly explained the layout of his house.

Lin Gang didn't know the predicament Su Aiguo was facing, so he asked, "Brother, how much does it cost to rent this house?"

Su Aiguo scratched his head, thought for a while and said, "I have never rented out a house, so how about we charge five dollars per room?"

"Five dollars? Five rooms means fifty-five is twenty-five dollars." Lin Gang looked at Lin Shu with a questioning look.

Lin Shu blinked at him.

Lin Gang: "Okay, I see that there are clothes and other things in the main house, so we won't rent it and let you live there. For the other five rooms, take advantage of the time to clean out the personal belongings in them, and I'll come over to clean them tomorrow."

"Okay." Su Aiguo nodded, feeling very excited.

This time my father’s medical expenses have been solved.

Lin Shu simply wrote a rental contract and both parties signed it. She then gave him one year's rent, three hundred yuan.

Su Aiguo excitedly took the three hundred yuan, his eyes reddened, "Thank you, thank you."

Lin Shu smiled and said, "We should be the ones to thank you. If we hadn't met you, we wouldn't know how long it would take to rent a house in Yangcheng."

Lin Gang put his arm on Su Aiguo's shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother, it's only three hundred yuan, why are you so excited?"

Su Aiguo controlled his emotions and breathed a sigh of relief, "To you, these three hundred yuan are just three hundred yuan, but to me it can save my life and solve all my difficulties so far."

You tell me, how could he not be excited?
