Chapter 1805: [Side Story] a clear path
Translator: 549690339
Welder Zhao was considered a repeat offender. He made Trouble Every Day, and every time he did, the commotion would get bigger and bigger. This time, it was even worse. In this old-fashioned staff family home, the news spread very quickly. Almost everyone knew that he had cancer. Even the head of the unit came to visit with two boxes of milk. In the end, it was a huge mistake. How … How could he explain this to others?
Previously, the family was in a gloomy mood. Now, they were still frowning. They looked at the fruit baskets, food and drinks, and flowers that filled the corridor. They had to return them. Things like fruit baskets and flowers were not easy to return. They had to be converted into money to return them. Thinking about it this way, they would suffer a great loss.
Welder Zhao didn’t care.”Return what?” ‘I’ll just keep them all. They’re here to visit a patient, and parasites are also an illness. Why should I return them … The next time they get sick, I’ll just carry things to visit them too?’ It’s just returning the favor …”
His wife was so angry that she wanted to beat him up again. Was this how you should return the favor? Wasn’t this a curse?
At the moment, no one was 100% sure that welder Zhao was infected by parasites. He still needed a medical re-examination to make a diagnosis. However, the abdominal pain stopped after taking the anti-allergy medicine. This was already a clear sign of the problem. If it was a tumor, how could the anti-allergic medicine work?
Welder Zhao saw that he had become the target of public criticism, so he tactfully shut up and didn’t dare to mention accepting all the gifts. But with his character, he definitely wouldn’t want to pay for his own mistake.
He looked at the flowers and fruit baskets in the corridor, slapped his thigh, and said,””I have an idea! Old Wu, let’s get on the tricycle tomorrow and put these flowers and fruit baskets in the tricycle. Then, we’ll ride to the nearby hospital entrance and set up a stall. Anyway, it’s not good to go to the hospital-handed. As long as we sell them at a cheaper price, others sell them for 100 yuan, but we sell them for 95 Yuan. We don’t have to worry about not being able to sell them. Maybe we can even make a profit … No, why don’t we go tonight? Aiyo! Why did you hit me again? You’re taking advantage of me, aren’t you?”
His wife was so angry that she was trembling. She pointed at him and scolded,”You … You dead man, you’re going to the hospital to treat the bug in my stomach right now. You still want to set up a stall?”
“The worms in my stomach can wait. It doesn’t matter if it’s a day or two, but the fruit basket and the flowers have a time limit, especially the flowers. They might wither tomorrow and become worthless …” Seeing that his wife was about to start again, welder Zhao quickly added,””I have an idea. I’ll treat the insects and set up a stall on the ground. We have to go to the hospital anyway, killing two birds with one stone! Old Wu, let’s go. When we get to the hospital, look after the stall first, I’ll go register for a queue number!”
Less than an hour ago, welder Zhao thought that he had cancer and looked sickly. Now that he knew that he probably didn’t have cancer, he immediately returned to his lively state and didn’t take the parasite seriously. When he was young, people in the country didn’t pay much attention to hygiene. It was common to have worms in his stomach, so he just had to take some deworming medicine …
Electrician Wu rubbed his temples as if he had a headache. He really didn’t know what to do with his old buddy.
“Master Zhao, the worms in your stomach are not roundworms. Don’t take it lightly. The threadworm can drill into the internal organs. They are now only in the stomach. If we delay any longer and let them reproduce in the stomach, they will enter the small intestine or even the liver. In the stomach, you can take it out with a pair of forceps through the fiber gastroscopy, but when it comes to the liver, you may have to operate on it. Think about the cost of the surgery … Don’t lose the big deal because of the small cost!”
Nothing was more effective than Zhang Zian’s words. As soon as welder Zhao heard that it was going to be an operation, the first thing he thought of was the operation fee and the follow-up hospitalization fees. It was a bottomless pit, and it even delayed him from raising fish.
Everyone tried to persuade him, using both soft and hard tactics, and finally dispelled welder Zhao’s idea of setting up a stall in front of the hospital.
As for how to tell the truth to the people who had come to visit the patient … No one cared about this problem. Anyway, it was welder Zhao’s own fault, so he could deal with it himself.
Welder Zhao’s wife opened the refrigerator and wanted to throw the fish he had bought into the trash can, but he refused. He said that he couldn’t eat them raw, but it was the same even if they were braised. Now the country was calling for them to save food. This was a crime, do you know that?
Welder Zhao’s old couple kept arguing, and their daughter and son-in-law were also trying to persuade them. The whole house was in a mess. Zhang Zian’s head hurt from their argument, but electrician Wu seemed to be used to it. Obviously, this was welder Zhao’s daily life.
“Master Zhao, I’ll take my leave first.”
“Ah? Oh, store manager Zhang, take care. I don’t have time, so I won’t be giving it to you … Old Wu, help me give it to him … Wait! Manager Zhang, what’s that in your hand?”
Zhang Zian looked down and saw that he was carrying a fruit basket, milk, and eight-treasure porridge.
“I brought these. Since you’re fine, I don’t want the fish in the tank, but I have to return these things. Fortunately, I’m prepared and didn’t throw away the receipt.”
“No, you’ve already sent it here, why do you want to take it back? That’s too stingy!”
Welder Zhao was still shouting, and electrician Wu was so angry that he took two more fruit baskets and said to Zhang Zian,””Manager Zhang, let’s go. Take these two fruit baskets with you. I’ll help you carry them downstairs.”
Zhang Zian didn’t refuse, because there were too many fruit baskets sent by others. Welder Zhao’s family couldn’t finish them anyway, so he could take them back to visit the store’s employees.
Welder Zhao’s son-in-law was quite good at dealing with things. He probably cleaned up the mess his father-in-law had caused, so he quickly took two boxes of milk and went downstairs to ask Zhang Zian to take them with him.
Welder Zhao’s heart ached. He mumbled that he wouldn’t take advantage of the situation anymore. Great, he went for wool and came home shorn and lost a ton of rice!
The people present did not take his words to heart. Everyone knew that it was better to hope that the China men’s football team would win the World Championship than to hope that welder Zhao would turn over a new leaf.
“Master Zhao,” Zhang Zian said,”for the sake of these two boxes of milk, let me show you the way.”
“What? The netherworld road? I’m not dead yet! What netherworld path?” Welder Zhao’s eyes widened.
Zhang Zian didn’t respond to his words and continued,””You know that the local Binhai daily has a kind of activity to collect news clues with prizes, right? The reward for every clue is 50 to 500. ”
Welder Zhao rolled his eyes.”Continue.”
“If I’m not mistaken, you’re the first local person to be infected with the Anomalocaris because of eating raw fish. You might even be the first in the country. This is very newsworthy. Reporters might even visit you and use you as an example to warn others not to eat raw fish.” Zhang Zian said.
Welder Zhao’s eyes became brighter and brighter. He slapped his thigh and said,””Zi ‘an, you know me!”
