On the other hand, after meeting Hong Lucheng and his wife, Shou Jingfang also gave a detailed description of his experiences over the years.

Because Ganqing has a stubborn temper, he only pays attention to things in the medical industry and does not pay attention to current affairs at all. Since breaking off diplomatic relations with the Hong family, Shou Jingfang's life can be said to have gone from bad to worse.

It is said that after the completion of the public-private partnership of "Yanshoutang", according to policy, the government will also arrange a new job for Shou Jingfang.

The district originally wanted Shou Jingfang to be the chief physician in the Chinese Medicine Department of Xuanwu Hospital. But I didn't expect that Shou Jingfang was too arrogant and insisted on being on par with the four famous doctors in the capital in terms of treatment. He even said that he would not go anywhere else except the Jingcheng Chinese Medicine Research Institute and the Jingcheng Chinese Medicine Hospital.

I don’t know if it was because of the public-private partnership that the district was completely offended. Anyway, Shou Jingfang waited at home for several years, but there was no reply from above.

What is even more unimaginable is that just when he was "remembering the bitter and thinking of the sweet", it was discovered that Shou Jingfang had joined the Three Youth League when he was a student in school during the Republic of China. Now it's better, he He can't even be an ordinary doctor.

In a fit of anger, Shou Jingfang simply stopped treating patients and summed up what he had learned throughout his life at home, hoping to write a book. But then, the "Ten Years Movement" came unexpectedly. Not only was his dividend suspended, his home was confiscated, and even his wife committed suicide because she could not accept the reality.

There is no way, in order to support the two children left by his wife, Shou Jingfang can no longer maintain his arrogance. Finally, after applying to the district, he had no choice but to return to the "People's Drug Store" that was converted from the original "Yanshou Hall" and became an ordinary medicine-preparing master.

However, even after reaching this stage of decline, Shou Jingfang did not give up his persistence in medicine. To those customers who come to the pharmacy to buy traditional Chinese medicine, he is as serious and responsible as the doctor who sat in the pharmacy in the past.

If the patient comes to take medicine in person, he must first check the pulse and make a diagnosis. If the patient's family members come on behalf of him, he must also ask the patient's specific situation in detail and carefully review the medicine before he is willing to take medicine. If something is wrong, he must point out the problem and advise the patient or family members to see the doctor again.

Just for this reason, I don’t know how many impatient family members and hospital doctors had great objections to Shou Jingfang due to misunderstandings, and even approached the manager of the pharmacy about this. The manager also criticized Shou Jingfang several times for this, and advised him not to make trouble and just mind his own business.

Ke Shoujingfang responded, "The only way to help the world is medicine. The power of curing diseases must rely on medicine, so prescribing and taking medicine are all related to life and death, and must not be done hastily." He continued to go his own way. , which naturally made the pharmacy manager very angry.

However, as time went by, some people were actually saved by Shou Jingfang's medical skills, or followed his advice to cure long-standing illnesses, so more and more customers sent banners and wrote letters of praise.

In this way, after the pharmacy manager looked at him with admiration, his prejudices became much less, and when it came to this matter, his attitude was somewhat relaxed.

In addition, he may be concerned that everyone will get sick one day, not to mention that Shou Jingfang will not get a penny more, so the manager made a decision after comprehensive consideration, and only let Shou Jingfang be the receptionist for many years in the future. He is not responsible for the old customers he comes into contact with, and other customers will be handled by others.

Not to mention, as a result, the criticisms Shou Jingfang received from customers gradually disappeared, but the number of banners and letters of praise continued to increase. For this reason, the manager actually got a "good management" evaluation from his superiors, which can be regarded as a happy result for everyone.

But even so, Shou Jingfang was too busy when he was at work. This is because he has long been famous, and those who have been cured by him continue to make him famous and continue to introduce other relatives and friends. On the contrary, the customers who come to him specifically account for half of the traditional Chinese medicine sales.

So having said that, how could such a capable and ethical person, who had such a connection with the Hong family, deceive the Hong family for money?

After hearing what Wang Yunlin said, Hong Yanwu fell silent again.

He also felt that if he followed what his mother said, Shou Jingfang was indeed a trustworthy and respectable person.

What's more, his father's condition has indeed reached the point where he has no choice but to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. Who can he trust if he doesn't trust Shou Jingfang? In the end it is better than having no hope at all.

But the biggest question is, how to raise this money?

To put it bluntly, what worries him most and is most helpless now is not that he feels how huge the five thousand yuan figure is, but more because there is basically no way to make money in this era.

What if he has all kinds of business skills? What if he knows all the ways to make huge profits in the short term after the reform and opening up?

In the current period when ideology is extremely rigid and restricted, both at the upper and lower levels, there is no way for him to obtain this money legally.

No matter how much money I can make in the future, I won’t rush there anymore...

Just when Hong Yanwu was worried, Wang Yunlin began to feel sorry for her son. She said that this money could not be collected by selling iron, tightening our belts, or even borrowing money from everywhere. He advised his son not to worry so much in vain.

But at the end, she sighed lightly and said with regret, "It would have been better if our house had not been confiscated back then. The jade square that was confiscated was an object from the palace. In fact, It’s worth a lot of money. If you find the right way to sell it, you might still have some hope..." (Participate in Volume 2 "Chapter 53 Copying and Inspection")

As soon as Wang Yunlin said these words, a light suddenly flashed in Hong Yanwu's eyes, and he couldn't help but blurt out.

"Mom, are you talking about the relative in the "stinky hut"? Do you know his name and where he lives?"

Hong Yanwu finally got no answer from his mother.

He didn’t know whether his mother really didn’t know, or whether she was worried that he would cause trouble. Anyway, his mother shook her head and sighed, and just told him not to think about it and stay at home, and ended the conversation in a hurry. .

Hong Yanwu didn't ask any more questions after that. He felt that there was no need to make his mother worried by asking for something. If her mother didn't tell him, he could still go outside to check, so he pretended that nothing was wrong and he should do what he wanted. What are you doing?

It wasn't until after lunch that Hong Yanwu, who was still thinking about this matter, told his mother that he wanted to go out on the pretext of going to a movie.

Unexpectedly, although Wang Yunlin had no objection, she was still obviously startled at that time, and when she turned around, she showed a movement that was undoubtedly wiping the tears that fell from the corners of her eyes.

This also convinced Hong Yanwu that his mother had been worrying about him all along. His mother knew everything and understood everything. Ever since he asked who the person who ransacked the house was, she was afraid that he would go find that person.

For a moment, he couldn't help but hesitate. But a moment later, his father's painful groans came from the suite, which strengthened his belief again.

There is no way, my father's condition is already very serious, and there is no room for any further delay.

No matter what, he must go!

In Hong Yanwu's memory, he only remembered that the person who ransacked his house was the rebel leader from the Baizhifang Subdistrict Office. What impressed me most was that this man was related to the "stinky hut" and had a large disgusting scabies scar on his left face. But apart from these, he no longer knew anything else.

Since Mao Yuanfang was scolded by him last time, although he has kept his tail between his legs and dared not show up these days, it is impossible to eliminate his hatred for him. If you want to ask her, it would be strange if you can tell the truth.

What's more, it's not easy for him to take advantage of an old woman wearing a red sleeve band at his doorstep, so if he wants to find out this person with such a little information, I'm afraid he can only ask a nearby rebel group. Only those who have full understanding will know.

Is there such a person?

Yes, "Huo Zi"'s father Liu Songshan.

Hong Yanwu still remembers that "Huo Zi"'s father was the "rebel" leader of the "May 41 Factory".

In the past, when "Huozi" was in school, he would brag to acquaintances about his father's extensive connections. He said that either the leader of the rebel group came to his house today, or the director of the "National Revolutionary Committee" came tomorrow, and "Huozi" himself talked about the most famous "famous generals" in various nearby factories, and they were all treasures.

So Hong Yanwu felt that it was impossible for "Huozi"'s father to be unfamiliar with the head of the Baizhifang Subdistrict Office.

After leaving home, Hong Yanwu took Chen Liquan and went straight to the house of "Huozi" in Yaojiajing Hutong.

In fact, Hong Yanwu originally wanted to go by himself, because when he thought about it, although the "Huozi" family had been subdued by him, they could not prevent the smooth sailing in recent years and raised their tails again. So he was prepared to take action if it didn't work, and naturally he was afraid of involving Chen Liquan again.

But Chen Liquan was not stupid. He had already seen that Hong Yanwu wanted to do something adventurous. He had lost his parents, and Hong Yanwu was the person closest to him, so for the sake of loyalty to his brothers, he refused to let Hong Yanwu go alone and had to go with him.

In the end, Hong Yanwu had no choice but to agree. However, he kept telling Chen Liquan along the way that he could go with him, but he would only be allowed to wait in the alley when the party arrived.

However, Hong Yanwu did not expect that during their dispute with each other, he and Chen Liquan had just walked halfway to the Zixin Road non-staple food store and happened to meet "Huo Zi" who was out to buy cigarettes.

So Hong Yanwu had an idea and simply stopped "Huozi" who was trembling with fear when he saw him. What he wanted to do was to take a shot first if there was no date, and if it didn't work, he would go to Liu Songshan. But what was even more unexpected was that "Huozi" actually knew this person, and told him everything he knew.

It turned out that the man who went to search Hong's house was named Zou Shuncai. He was nicknamed "Zou Toad" because he had a large scabies scar on his face that would never heal.

He indeed had a period of arrogance and power, and was once a guest of the Liu family. It's a pity that he is too greedy and lustful. With the power in his hands, not only does he not forget to take good things from other people to his own home, but he also always likes to take advantage of women and eat other people's tofu.

A few years ago, this old boy almost killed himself because he wanted to bully a handsome widow. However, the incident could not be concealed and he almost went to jail. Although the incident eventually passed away, he lost his official position and was abandoned by his wife and children, with whom he "drawn a clear line".

Now, he has long since lost his power and has become a lonely, unemployed vagrant. He has no relatives or friends and relies on picking up rags to survive every day. I heard he lives in No. 6 Yingtoutiao Yard. It's easy to find him. Just push the door open when you see the tatters at the door and you're sure you won't go wrong.

Hong Yanwu was both happy and worried when he heard that this "Zou Toad" had fallen into such a state of decline.

What he was happy about was that his enemies had done many unjust things and had already received retribution. If we deal with this "lost dog" now, I'm afraid we don't need to take much risk.

But on the other hand, what he is worried about is, since this old boy is already in such a miserable condition, will his own things still be in his hands?

Hey, no matter what, I have to go and see first...

Just when Hong Yanwu was frowning, what was unexpected was that "Huozi" actually approached him in a flattering manner.

"You want to cause trouble for 'Zou Toad'? I'll take you there. I happen to be fine today. Whether it's for fun or for work, we didn't say anything."

As soon as he heard this, Hong Yanwu's heart sank, "Do you have a grudge against him?"

"Huozi" shook his head. "You can't hit it with eight poles, there's nothing you can do."

Hong Yanwu immediately turned gloomy. "Then you just want to trick me? Take revenge for the past..."

"Hong... Hong boy, where do you start talking about this? The past is in the past..." "Huozi" stamped his feet in a hurry, his face turned green, and he hurriedly explained.

"Let me tell you, that old boy is a piece of meat. Just because he has become like this, he is completely unafraid of death and shameless. I heard that someone once tried to find an old account against him, but he was dressed up by the old girl. A pair of red pants chased him for two miles with a kitchen knife, so I wanted to help you because I was afraid that you would be unable to do anything with him..."

Hong Yanwu's face softened, and he didn't say anything. He just paid for Chen Liquan to go into the grocery store and buy two boxes of "Big Qianmen". When Chen Liquan came out, he forced Chen Liquan to buy two boxes of cigarettes. "Haozi".

"I handle my own affairs. I can't deal with this with you. However, I understand, and I really should thank you for this. If what we said today is rotten in your stomach, we will never meet again. We are friends, understand?”

"I understand, don't worry."

Hong Yanwu nodded and said no more nonsense. He only patted "Huozi" on the shoulder and turned around and left with Chen Liquan.

But "Huozi", who was holding two boxes of cigarettes in his hand, stood there, stunned for a while.
