Su Qiuxin stood beside him, wearing a thick mask, her hands clenched tightly, her star-like eyes trembling as she looked at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng gave her a reassuring look and then took Su Qiuxin's small white hand in his.

Ignoring her struggles, he asked in a low voice, "Director Kang, do you think my wife's illness can be cured?"

"Your face is so dark, it's scaring me a little!"

Kang Xuemei frowned, looked up with a cold face, and started criticizing Lin Feng.

"Scared? Your wife is in this state, and you're only now realizing you're scared?"

"Look at the lab results! Look at that! Morning sputum, lots of acid-fast bacilli, streaked with blood! She's coughing up blood, can't you see?"

"Chest X-ray shows large shadows in both lungs, and the cavity is already 1.5cm in size and is still expanding."

"Is this how you act as a husband? Hey, how come you're alright?"

"Look at her! Her white blood cell count is so high! Are you blind?"

"Let's look at the complications: bronchiectasis, pulmonary heart disease, pneumothorax, hypoproteinemia..."

"Fortunately, it's still under control. If it had been ten days later, you would have been a sinner."

"Are you worried about spending money? Yes, it will cost a lot, but you can ask the brigade for help, ask the hospital for help. Can we just stand by and watch someone die?"

"She's been sick for almost three years, do you want her to die?!"

.......

Kang Xuemei gave Lin Feng a thorough dressing-down.

It is still being continuously output.

Lin Feng, who is not known for his good temper, suddenly stood up and was about to start criticizing as well.

Before Lin Feng could explode, Su Qiuxin turned around and grabbed Lin Feng's hands.

Her doe-like eyes were brimming with tears.

Lin Feng's heart softened instantly, and he cursed himself inwardly, thinking how utterly spineless he was.

Fine, I'll just have to put up with it!

Turning around, he bowed and scraped, forcing a smile, "Yes, you're right!"

"It's all my fault..."

Su Qiuxin gripped Lin Feng's hand tightly, her heart aching.

Everyone in the surrounding area knows Lin Feng's fiery temper and reckless personality.

A person who is used to being domineering and arrogant actually... actually let himself be scolded by a doctor and couldn't lift his head, and even took the initiative to admit his mistake, all for his own sake.

This man has such a gentle side.

Yes, it also has a side that can be infuriating.

Su Qiuxin felt a pang of pain in her heart as she watched Lin Feng bow and apologize, and she gripped Lin Feng's hand even tighter.

Although his back was bent, in her heart, someone's image became incredibly tall.

"I was wrong, please, Director Kang, take good care of me!!"

.......

As a result, Su Qiuxin had to be hospitalized for a period of time.

Lin Feng wanted to stay and take care of the patient, but Director Kang disagreed, saying that a specialist doctor was needed to care for a patient with severe tuberculosis.

To prevent the spread of infection.

"I'm going back first. In the meantime, listen to the doctor."

"I'll come pick you up in two weeks!"

Lin Feng said goodbye to Su Qiuxin through the curtain.

Su Qiuxin stared intently at the curtain, trying to see Lin Feng through it.

"I'm leaving!"

"Well, if you don't come to pick me up, I know the way and I'll walk back myself..."

The voice was very soft, but Lin Feng heard it very clearly.

She felt secretly delighted, thinking, "Oh, I knew you loved me and couldn't live without me."

"They've stuck with me now. Sigh, I'm just too amazing, I can't get rid of them..."

The nurse standing nearby tried her best to suppress her laughter, making Su Qiuxin blush deeply.

"roll!"

"Okay!"

That atmosphere of parting instantly turned sour.

.......

The state-run supply and marketing cooperative in the county town.

Lin Feng launched a large-scale purchasing spree.

He earned over 1,700 yuan by selling people and their meat.

There were several stacks of tickets of all kinds, and Lin Feng didn't even count them.

He left Su Qiuxin a thousand yuan and some tickets.

Lin Feng had over 700 yuan with him, along with most of the tickets.

We're lacking everything at home right now, so we have to buy, buy, buy!

In winter, we buy cotton-padded jackets, trousers, boots, and military overcoats in fours.

He and Su Qiuxin each had two pieces, and they took turns wearing them.

In 81, down jackets were still available, priced at 70 yuan each, but the style was very outdated.

Lin Feng gritted his teeth and bought two items.

Underwear, socks, blankets...

Rice, oil, salt, pots, pans, and bowls.

I bought two bags of flour, two bags of rice, and various vegetables that store well, such as potatoes, pumpkin, and cabbage...

Of course, there's also the second brother's pig feed, the best of all.

Lin Feng spent money like water in one afternoon.

The flatbed cart was packed full.

As for furniture, sewing machines, the currently popular "three turns and one sound" (a watch, a revolving door, a radio, and a speaker), and 24-legged cars... I can't afford them!

With only a little over a hundred yuan left, it was still returned to Lin Dashan as part of the bride price.

"This money goes by so fast!"

Looks like we still need to make money!

By the time he finished his work, it was almost dark, and Lin Feng was in a hurry to get back.

I'll have to come back another time to buy everything I didn't get.

Li Feng was pulling his cart out of the city when he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.

"Raymond Lam! Raymond Lam!"

"It really is you. I thought I had mistaken you for someone else."

Lin Feng turned around and saw someone chasing after him in a donkey cart.

Lin Ergou was the village's "purchasing agent".

Around thirty years old, thin, with a slightly pointed face, very shrewd and quick-witted.

Having attended primary school, he is good at accounting and social skills, and he is also familiar with the sales clerks in the city.

Every few days, I would make a trip to the county town to purchase the firewood, rice, oil, salt, towels, laundry detergent, and other necessities that the villagers needed.

I also need to make a trip to the post office to bring back the mail from the village.

Although there is no official position in the village, it is still counted as work points.

Sometimes, if you manage to snag a few in-demand items, you can even make a profit from the price difference.

They are very popular in the village.

"Lin Feng, you've struck it rich! You've bought so much stuff!"

Lin Ergou's eyes lit up as he looked at the truckload of goods, his pupils darting around.

With a quick glance, he figured it out; it was definitely no less than 500 yuan!

"Perfect timing, Lin Ergou, I think your donkey is quite nice!"

"Let me borrow it for a bit!"

Lin Ergou's face turned green when he heard this.

He also had quite a lot of things on his donkey cart.

If you give the donkey to Lin Feng, and he pulls it back to the village for four hours? With his small frame, he'd probably lose half his life.

"Hey, Lin Feng, you can't joke around like this, you're going to kill me."

"We're friends, I often treat you to drinks, you can't do this."

Lin Feng curled his lip, wondering what kind of good person he could be drinking with.

That day, one of his cronies who urged him to give a dowry was Lin Ergou.

"If you're not going to lend it, get lost. If your eyes keep wandering around, I'll pry them off. You dare to try and steal my things?"

Lin Ergou reluctantly withdrew his gaze and chuckled twice.

"Lin Feng, I went to the post office today, and there's still your letter there!"

"It's an express registered letter, it seems quite urgent."

Lin Feng was slightly taken aback. He didn't know anyone in this city, yet someone had written him a letter.

The furthest away her husband's sister-in-law, Brigitte Lin, was only a day's journey away, and besides, her sister-in-law was illiterate!

Lin Feng looked at Lin Ergou suspiciously and said fiercely, "If you dare to lie to me, I'll break your legs, believe it or not."

Lin Ergou immediately backed down, "Hehe, I wouldn't dare!"

"But Feng, next time you make a fortune, can you take me with you?"

"Give me the letter first!" Lin Feng glared.

Lin Ergou chuckled awkwardly a few times and took out a letter from his bag.

Just then, several people suddenly jumped out from the roadside and kicked Lin Ergou.

"Ouch!" Lin Ergou was kicked directly into the ditch.

The man ignored Lin Ergou and quickly picked up the letter that had fallen to the ground!
