Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

Chapter 421 Qin Huairu Goes to the Medical Clinic

After listening to Yang Ruihua's description, Qin Huairu collapsed in her chair with despair.

"That's right, that's right. Maybe I have the same disease as you! Why is my life so miserable?"

"Ah, Huairu, we are all miserable!" Yang Ruihua said with emotion, "Look, because of my illness, we have lost our house. At my age, I still don't have a stable place to live."

"By the way, are you really cured?" Qin Huairu asked suddenly. At this time, she thought of Li Kangri again. She wanted to ask him just now, but she was so scared that she forgot.

"Huai Ru, I think we should just forget about this!" Yan Fugui said slowly, "My wife is indeed better now. She hasn't had any pain in the past few years. The hospital also said she is fine. But the price Li Kangri wants is really too expensive. Do you have that much money?"

"How much?" Qin Huairu asked hurriedly.

"Thirty thousand," Yan Fugui said without hesitation, "This is because I begged him for it. Otherwise, it would be forty thousand, not a cent less. Plus, he doesn't think highly of your family, so I think...right!"

At this time, Yan Fugui also had his own little thoughts. He didn't want Qin Huairu to go to find Li Kangri. What if Li Kangri really took the house? Where would he live?

Sure enough, after hearing what Yan Fugui said, Qin Huairu felt that he was right, but she didn't want to sit and wait for death. Who doesn't want to live?

"No, I want to give it a try, just in case he agrees!" Qin Huairu said, "I know Shazhu bought the house for him, and now my family is the only one left in this yard. Maybe for the sake of this house, he will really agree! Don't you think so?"

Hearing Qin Huairu's words, Yan Fugui felt bitter. Yes, he felt that Qin Huairu was right. Maybe it would really happen. What would he do then? What if someone wanted to kick him out?

But it seemed a little false for him to object hastily, so he could only say, "It's not certain, it's hard to say, it's hard to say, you decide for yourself!"

"Yan Fugui, I know what you're thinking. You're just afraid that I'll mortgage your house and you'll have nowhere to live!" Qin Huairu said, "There's no need to do that. Why do you have to stay in this yard? There are only two of us anyway. There's no need. We'll have to leave sooner or later. When the time comes, rent somewhere more remote. Maybe it'll be cheaper!"

"Haha!" Yan Fugui smiled bitterly and said nothing more.

It's not like he didn't want to go to a more remote place, but firstly, he really didn't want to leave the yard where he had lived all his life, and secondly, where in a remote place would there be so much waste to pick up? If he came here, his legs would be broken.

"Yan Fugui, how about you accompany me to take a look this afternoon?" Qin Huairu asked tentatively.

"Ah! I'll go with you," Yan Fugui shouted, "I don't have a good relationship with him, so there's no need. It might even backfire! You should go by yourself. Besides, he doesn't see patients in the afternoon, and he only sees three patients a day. First come first served. Otherwise, no matter how much money you offer him, he won't do it."

"Ah? Three a day? And we have to queue?" Qin Huairu asked in surprise.

"Yes, three is not a small number. If we calculate it based on 30,000 each, three a day would be 90,000," Yan Fugui said enviously, "and people will do the fortune-telling in the afternoon."

"So many? Thirty thousand per person?" Qin Huairu asked in surprise.

"You don't know this. Most of the patients who go to him are those who cannot be cured by the hospital. Do you think there will be few cases?" Yan Fugui explained, "So, I still think he may not necessarily see you. He has no shortage of patients, and even less of money."

"Then I want to try it too. I wanted to ask him to read my face back then, but it was too expensive. I can't afford it. This time I have to try it anyway." Qin Huairu said, "By the way, what is fortune telling?"

"It's the same as the fortune tellers in the past, but it's also very expensive. There's only one word to describe him: expensive." Yan Fugui said speechlessly.

"Is it accurate?"

"I don't know about that, but there are many people looking for him."

"Okay, I won't keep you any longer. Go eat. I'll go and line up tonight. I don't believe I won't be able to get a seat."

Just like that, after dinner, Qin Huairu couldn't stay any longer. There was nothing she could do. She had something on her mind and she couldn't wait any longer.

With the mentality of giving it a try, she packed up and went to the clinic.

Coincidentally, just as she arrived at the door of the clinic, she saw two familiar people walking towards her from a distance, each holding a child. They were Xu Damao and Sha Zhu!

Just when Qin Huairu wanted to turn around and leave, the two men saw her. There was nothing they could do; her face was too obvious and glaring, and it was impossible not to see it.

"Shazhu, look, isn't that Qin Banbian?" Xu Damao shouted, "Why is she here?"

"Oh, it's true," Sha Zhu also asked in confusion.

As they were talking, the two of them walked to Qin Huairu's side.

"Qin Banbian, why are you here in front of my master's clinic?" Xu Damao asked, "Are you planning to cause any damage?"

"No, no, I'm here to sell the house, and Sha Zhu isn't in the yard, so I came here to see if I can find him," Qin Huairu said suddenly with an idea, "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that I just happened to run into you guys!"

"Selling the house?" Sha Zhu asked doubtfully, "You don't want to sell it? Are you kidding me?"

"No, no, I ran into some problems and I have to sell it." Qin Huairu explained quickly.

"Hey, I knew it! Why did you suddenly think of selling the house?" Sha Zhu guessed, "But you are alone, what else is there? Could it be your Sophora japonica?"

"No, it's me," Qin Huairu said, "I'm sick and I need money!"

"Incurable disease?" Sha Zhu guessed again.

"Hey, hey, hey, Shazhu, why do you care about her so much? You already have grandchildren, do you want to see your grandchild blossom?" Xu Damao interrupted, "Even if you do, it's not her, right?"

"Pooh, pooh, pooh, I'm just asking, don't disgust me." Sha Zhu said quickly.

"Then why are you asking so many questions?" Xu Damao said, "When someone sells a house, you just ask the price. If it's suitable, why don't you just buy it, right... Qin Banbian?"

In fact, Xu Damao had already realized that Qin Huairu was not here just to sell the house. The moment he said he was sick, Xu Damao had already guessed most of it.

"No, actually I still want to see your master for treatment, so I came to his door."

"Shazhu, did you see that?" Xu Damao said with a smile, "With your brain, I'm really afraid that I'll pass it on to my grandson. Give the child to me quickly, so that he won't be infected by you."

"Bullshit, I'm just asking. One for each person, don't grab them." Sha Zhu laughed.

Looking at the children in their arms, Qin Huairu felt sad. This was the life one should have when one is old. If his father Banggeng was still alive, perhaps his grandchildren would have been running all over the place long ago.

"You are such a jerk," Xu Damao cursed and looked at Qin Huairu, "Qin Banbian, my master won't see patients this afternoon. If you want to see a doctor, come early tomorrow to queue up."

"Da Mao, can I sell the house first and talk about the sale of the house first?" Qin Huairu said.

No matter what, she had to meet Li Kangri first.
