Reborn in 1985, starting from the mountains of Northwest China

Chen Jun stood there stunned. A thousand yuan? That was an astronomical figure!

He doesn't know what to do now. If it's only four or five hundred, the Chen family can still scrape together the money by using all their savings and borrowing from relatives and friends.

But now he needs a thousand yuan, and he's still short five or six hundred yuan. He really doesn't know where to get the money!

"Doctor, are there any other treatment options?" Chen Jun asked through gritted teeth.

"Conservative treatment is also an option," the doctor sighed. Most of the patients' families he had seen opted for conservative treatment, even though it had significant side effects, because it was much cheaper than surgery.

"So-called conservative treatment involves chemotherapy combined with medication. Although it's slow to take effect, the total cost is only 450 yuan. Plus, you can take your family home and come back for chemotherapy, saving on hospitalization fees!"

Chen Jun looked gloomy. The chemotherapy technology in the county was very immature. Most of the patients in the ward who chose this treatment method were left looking like neither human nor ghost!

Moreover, this treatment method is difficult to stop the spread of tumors; it's essentially just spending money to buy a few more years of life, so many people simply give up on treatment.

This isn't about being cold-hearted towards family; it's just that ordinary families have no choice but to make this decision, because even the living need money!

Chen Jun returned to the ward in a daze. Chen Laogeng noticed something was wrong from his expression: "What's wrong? Is my illness incurable?"

"Oh, no, that's not true! Dad, you can rest in the hospital. I'll go home and get some more money."

Chen Jun fled the ward. Now he could only hope that Chen Feng would successfully kill the bear, and that the money from selling the bear would be enough to fill the hole!

……

Chen Feng frowned upon hearing his elder brother's words: "If we're going to treat someone, let's choose the best. I'll take care of the money!"

Just take good care of Dad, and don't let him know it cost so much money. Here's two hundred and twenty-five; pay it to the hospital first!

Including the money Chen Feng contributed earlier, and the money my older brothers advanced, I have about three hundred yuan. I need to raise another seven hundred yuan!

But since he and Lao Huang fought the bear together, the money should be split 50/50, so it seems he has to think of other ways.

"Brother Chen, you can keep this money for now. We can pay you back when we make more money!"

As soon as Lao Huang entered Chen Feng's house, he heard them discussing money.

Chen Feng shook his head: "Your son is about to have his second child, so you have to pay the fine now. If you don't pay it on time, the consequences could be dire."

Chen Feng didn't finish his sentence. Every family has its own problems, and the Huang family's situation was not optimistic either!

These days, the fine for having more children than allowed can be several thousand yuan. His daughter-in-law is six months pregnant, and they can't hide it any longer; they have to pay the fine.

If his use of this money leads to some kind of accident in their family, the two families will go from being best friends to enemies, which is not what Chen Feng wants to see!

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat somber. Chen Feng took a deep breath and composed himself.

"Let's go to the county to sell the bear first; maybe we'll find a big buyer this time!"

"Yeah, can a living person be killed by holding their pee? Let's all bring guns, the Lunar New Year period is really when there are the most hooligans."

Although the Zhao family's scheme failed to materialize, it served as a wake-up call for Chen Feng and Lao Huang, reminding them that keeping their wealth hidden is the true principle these days!

They found a urea bag and stuffed it with bear bile, bear paws, and bear skin, along with some potatoes and radishes.

This time, instead of riding a bicycle, I took Lao Huang's tricycle to the county.

From the outside, they looked like honest and hardworking farmers, with no sign of making a fortune.

Just as they had expected, several groups of thugs were preparing to stop the car and rob it. Chen Feng didn't bother talking to them.

He pulled out a hunting rifle from the sack, and the thugs naturally didn't dare to mess with him.

By the time they arrived at the state-run purchasing point in the county town, it was already noon, and the sun was so bright that it was hard to open their eyes.

A long queue formed outside the purchasing point, with many hunters like them carrying their wares, and a small crowd of onlookers gathered around.

Chen Feng gripped the urea bag in his hand even tighter. At this time, the place was a mixed bag, and it was hard to say that there weren't pickpockets mixed in with the crowd.

A hunter took out six hides and placed them on the table. Chen Feng looked on with envy, but unfortunately he didn't know how to make the corresponding traps.

The foxes in Shaanxi Province are all red foxes. The buyer carefully examined the fox pelts:

"Two first-class tickets are thirty-five yuan each, and the remaining four are third-class tickets, so I'll give you fifty yuan each."

"Great! Great!" The hunter was overjoyed. His son had poked a big hole in the middle of a fox pelt, and selling it for eighty-five dollars was already beyond his expectations!

"If there are no problems, sign here, take the receipt, and go to the finance department to collect your money."

The buyer continued to inspect the hunter's goods. Winter was the season for buying furs, as the animals fattened up for the winter, resulting in much better quality furs than in spring and summer.

When it was Chen Feng's turn, Old Huang didn't ask him to take his things out, but said, "We need to go inside to see; there are too many people!"

The buyer naturally recognized Lao Huang, and seeing his confident tone, knew he had struck gold.

"Alright, Brother Huang, please come in. My master is here today too. This young man looks unfamiliar; is he your son?"

"This is my nephew. His uncle asked me to look after him, so I brought him here today to broaden his horizons."

Before Chen Feng arrived, he had discussed with Lao Huang that Lao Huang should take the lead in selling the bears, and that he would step in if any problems arose.

The acquisition agent didn't ask many questions, led them inside, and then went about his own business.

The middle-aged man, who had been dozing off, hurriedly tidied up the table when he saw Old Huang arrive and went to get him a cup of tea.

"This is Xinyang Maojian tea, you should try it, you can't buy it anywhere else. What other high-end stuff did you bring this time?"

Old Huang took a sip of tea; it was indeed better than what he drank at home. "Hehe, the stuff I brought this time will scare you to death. Xiao Feng, put it on the table and show your Uncle Yang what it's like."

Chen Feng took out the bear paw, bear bile, and a whole bear skin from the urea bag and laid them out in order.

"Wow!" the middle-aged man exclaimed and stood up, examining the object in front of him as if it were a priceless treasure.

"This is a rare and precious treasure. The bear bile and bear paws are top-quality. It's just a pity about the bear skin. If it weren't for these bullet holes, I estimate it would be worth even more."

The middle-aged man felt a little regretful; Old Huang had really struck it lucky this time!

"That bear almost killed me and my nephew. At the time, we didn't care about anything else." Old Huang is still a little scared now, as the two of them were really on the verge of death.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man carefully examined Chen Feng. Although this young man didn't talk much, the confidence in his eyes was undeniable, and he showed no signs of stage fright when facing his scrutiny!

"Stop looking, my nephew has a wife! Just tell me how much money you're willing to pay!"
