Chapter 234 Seeking Medical Treatment
Chapter 234 Seeking Medical Treatment
Wang Jin asked for a day off from the government office today. He planned to take his mother to Shangtang Village to seek medical treatment today. As the saying goes, the sooner the better.
However, he tried to persuade his mother all night yesterday, but she still refused to go out. She felt that she didn't have much time left and there was no need to go through so much trouble.
Not only has my son been implicated, but I also have to spend that money in vain. It's not worth it. I'd rather save the money and use it to help my son get married.
No matter how he tried to persuade the old lady, he just couldn't convince her to leave the house. In desperation, he rented a carriage without her consent. Anyway, the money for renting the carriage had already been spent, and if she didn't want to go, then the money would be wasted.
"Why did you spend that much money? It must cost a lot of money to rent this carriage for a day. Hurry up and return the carriage."
"Mother, the money has already been given and cannot be returned. You should go with your son. Hang Tongsheng has shown us a way out of kindness. We cannot let him down!"
Wang Jin knew that she was reluctant to spend money, so he told her, "Hang Tongsheng said that the old gentleman might not charge for the consultation. Just bring a jar of good wine. The old man loves to drink."
"Look, I've already prepared the wine."
He brought two jars of aged wine to his mother, which he had dug out from under a tree in the yard last night and then packaged.
I once heard my mother say that the big jar of wine was buried when she was pregnant with him. It has been more than 20 years now, and the aroma of the wine is extremely mellow. The reason why she buried the wine was because she thought she was pregnant with a girl, so she buried the jar of wine and waited until the girl got married before digging it out. Unexpectedly, she gave birth to a stinky boy.
In the end, under Wang Jin's insistence, Aunt Wang stepped out of the house, got on the carriage and went to Shangtang Village.
In order to take care of his mother's health, Wang Jin drove slowly and steadily. When he arrived at Shangtang Village, it took him longer than usual to get to Shangtang Village.
When they arrived outside the gate of the Hang family, Wang Jin asked his mother to wait in the carriage while he went to knock on the door.
Hang Shuheng and Song Ning heard a knock on the door and came to open it. They were very surprised to see the person coming.
"Detective Wang."
Wang Jin bowed to the two and said, "Mr. Hang, Ms. Hang, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm here to seek medical treatment."
Hang Shuheng looked at the carriage behind him and understood. If Wang Jin hadn't come, he would have really forgotten what he said yesterday. Now that he had come to his house, he couldn't help but look back at the old man dozing in the rocking chair in the yard. He was not sure whether the old man agreed to be treated or not.
However, he had already told Wang Jin about these uncertainties yesterday. As for whether the old man could agree to treatment, it all depended on luck or the old man's mood. Maybe he would give the treatment if he was in a good mood.
"Please let your mother in first!" Regardless of whether she is cured in the end, she must be let in first.
Wang Jin hurried back to the carriage, put down the horse stool, and helped Aunt Wang down from the carriage, "Mom, let's go in!"
Perhaps because she was caught in the wind, Aunt Wang coughed uncontrollably a few times. Wang Jin helped her walk over and said, "Mother, this is Hang Tongsheng, and that's his wife."
Aunt Wang had never met Hang Shuheng, but she had heard her son say it many times, "I often hear Wang Jin mention you."
Hang Shuheng and Song Ning looked at Aunt Wang, who looked sick and coughed from time to time. She was so thin that she seemed like she could be blown away by a gust of wind.
"Auntie, please come in first! Let's talk inside."
Old man Xin was dozing off in a rocking chair. The rocking of the chair made him drowsy. This chair was so comfortable to lie in!
Suddenly, a whiff of wine aroma drifted to his nostrils. He moved his nose, still with his eyes closed, but took a deep sniff and suddenly opened his eyes.
"stop."
A loud shout made the few people who had just entered the yard pause for a moment, and they all stopped unconsciously.
Soon, an old man with a white beard came up to him. To be exact, he came in front of Wang Jin and snatched the two jars of wine from his hands. As if he was addicted to alcohol, he sniffed the two jars of wine again and again.
Wang Jin recognized this old man. Wasn't he the old man who went to the prison to sleep? He looked at Hang Shuheng uncertainly and saw that he nodded.
Hang Shuheng saw that the old man was craving for wine and thought there was a chance, so he took the opportunity to say, "Old man, this is Constable Wang from the county government. They are here to seek medical treatment. Can you..."
"No."
Without waiting for him to finish, Old Man Xin shook his head and refused flatly. Hang Shuheng touched his nose, feeling very embarrassed.
Wang Jin's heart sank when he saw Old Man Xin's firm attitude, but Aunt Wang seemed much calmer. She had not held out much hope in the first place, so she did not feel there was anything to be disappointed about.
She patted her son's hand and said comfortingly, "Forget it, this is the end of my body."
But since he was already here, how could Wang Jin give up easily? So he clasped his fists and bowed to Old Man Xin, "Old Sir, my mother has been ill for many years and has not recovered. I beg you to treat her. If you have any conditions, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it."
"I said I won't treat it, so I won't treat it." Old man Xin still looked unmoved.
Seeing that he refused but still held the two jars of wine in his hands, Hang Shuheng couldn't help but sneered, "If you don't want to treat it, then don't treat it. Why are you still holding the wine? It's not for you to drink."
Old man Xin choked. Just by smelling the wine, he knew it was a good wine with a long age. It was even better than the one Hang Shuheng bought from the tavern. He was reluctant to give it back, so he held the wine in his hand for a long time without saying anything.
Wang Jin saw that he seemed to be a little hesitant for the two jars of wine, so he knelt down and said, "Please, old sir, treat my mother. This wine has been buried under a tree at home for more than 20 years. It's a big jar. If you like it, I will send you all the remaining wine at home."
When Old Man Xin heard that the wine was more than twenty years old, his eyes lit up. Then when he said that there was still a lot of it at home, the wine bug in his body started to stir.
Finally, he softened his tone and said, "It's useless for a dying person to come to me. I'm a doctor, not a god."
Aunt Wang heard this and looked as if she had expected it. She knew she didn't have much time left, but hearing it from a doctor made her feel sad. Her only wish now was to see her son get married in the few days ahead. It would be even better if she could live to see a grandson.
Wang Jin's heart had fallen to the bottom at this time, and the words "dying man" kept echoing in his mind.
Hang Shuheng was also very surprised. He had good intentions and wanted to help, but he didn't expect it to be like this. The old man didn't even check the patient's pulse, but he was so sure?
