Courtyard House: Drunk and barging into the Xu family's house, I woke up numb.

"Her brother-in-law spent a month and a half treating his infertility, and the total cost was about 120 yuan."

"The total cost of their round-trip transportation, plus the gifts they bought, should be 140 yuan."

Qin Jingru breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; she really didn't know the answer to the question Xu Damao had just asked.

She didn't know whether she should answer, or if she should, how much she should say.

Now that Doctor Han had taken the blame himself, she had nothing to say and simply nodded in agreement.

"That should be about the right price."

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao was quite moved. Qin Jingru's brother-in-law's family was really generous, even though they were from the countryside.

One hundred and forty yuan is something city dwellers can manage if they tighten their belts, but for rural people, it would be a huge financial blow.

Before Xu Damao arrived, he had already smoothed things over with Deputy Factory Director Li. Deputy Factory Director Li also agreed that once he became the factory director, he would let him return to the propaganda department as a projectionist.

Xu Damao was satisfied with the result. Although he couldn't become a cadre for the time being, he believed that he could still make a good living by relying on his position as a projectionist.

Projectionists, especially those favored by leaders and who occasionally go to the countryside, are truly the elite among projectionists, and the extra income they receive far exceeds their fixed salary.

"Dr. Han, could you lower the price a bit more?"

Doctor Han showed a disdainful expression.

"Do you think this is like going to the market to buy groceries?"

"Let me tell you, this is a plan that I came up with after careful consideration."

"Only by using a three-pronged approach of herbal decoctions, herbal baths, and acupuncture, and carefully conditioning the patient for two months, can we achieve a 60-70% success rate."

"You're still haggling with me, asking if you can get a discount."

"Since Liu Yatou is here, she's not an outsider. I'll be frank with you. I'll only earn you a maximum of fifty yuan for this treatment."

"However, it will take me two months to treat you, and this is already a friendly price."

“Lower it further, sure, 150 yuan is enough to cure it.”

"However, your condition is much more serious than his brother-in-law's, so the treatment standards have been lowered, and the success rate is only 30% to 40%."

"Whether you choose 60-70% or 30-40%, it's up to you."

Dr. Han doesn't offer any guarantees. If a doctor guarantees a cure, that's just a scam.

Until the very last moment, there's no guarantee that nothing unexpected will happen. Besides, he was just trying to fool Xu Damao in the first place, so why would he make a guarantor out of thin air?

Giving Xu Damao a 60-70% chance seems like a high probability, but don't forget that a 30-40% failure rate is also not low.

"Of course, if you don't trust me, you can go to a big hospital and see another doctor."

After saying that, Doctor Han made it seem like he was going to wash his hands of the matter, and Xu Damao hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

Thinking that he would be able to return to his projectionist job in just a few months, and that he could have children after his health recovered, he spoke up.

"Dr. Han, now that I'm here, it's because I trust you."

“I’ll treat you. I’ll get this treatment from you.”

Xu Damao hesitated for a moment when he said this.

"However, I don't have that much money on me."

"How about you treat me first, and I'll pay you back when I get back to the city?"

"Dr. Han waved his hand and said."

"It can't be cured now, and you'll need to pay first."

"I only have a portion of the medicinal herbs you need for treatment; I'll have to go to the capital to buy the rest."

“I’ll pay for the medicine that costs over a hundred yuan in advance. If you don’t want to treat it, then I’ll be stuck with this money.”

After observing Xu Damao's expression, Doctor Han continued.

"Also, I need to tell you that the treatment period is about two months."

"For the first seven days of treatment, you cannot go to work. You need to rest at home to consolidate your foundation and cooperate with my treatment."

"Also, I must remind you that you cannot have sexual intercourse from the start to the end of the treatment, otherwise I will not be responsible for any problems that may arise."

Xu Damao thought for a moment and then made up his mind.

"Okay, Dr. Han, I'll do whatever you say."

"However, I also have a small request, and I hope you can grant it."

Doctor Han nodded.

"You said."

Xu Damao said.

"I hope you can come to the capital to treat me. Don't worry, I'll cover all your food and lodging!"

"Dr. Han smiled."

"You want me to move into your house so you can receive one-on-one treatment?"

Xu Damao nodded.

"Yes, that's it."

"It's Dr. Han," said the divine physician.

"I can agree to your request, but the price..."

Xu Damao smiled.

"Dr. Han, don't worry, I understand what you mean."

"You work as a doctor here, braving wind and snow every day, and you only earn a dozen or so dollars a month."

"In that case, in addition to the room and board, I'll give you an extra fifty yuan."

"Adding the fifty yuan profit you mentioned before, you can make a hundred yuan in two months. Isn't that enough to show my sincerity?"

Seeing that Doctor Han was interested, Xu Damao continued.

"That's not all. After we get to the city, I can introduce you to other patients."

At this moment, Xu Damao suddenly remembered the illness of his backer, Deputy Factory Director Li, and he stepped forward and whispered.

"I can even introduce you to our factory's deputy director; he's certainly not short of money."

"Doctor Han's eyes darted around as he asked a question."

"Is this true?"

Xu Damao assured.

"You can rest assured, I, Xu Damao, never speak recklessly. My words are more truthful than gold!"

Doctor Han nodded.

"Alright, then go back and pack your things. I'll go to the capital with you tomorrow."

Xu Damao said with a delighted expression.

"Dr. Han, there's no need for tomorrow. I'll go to the commune branch factory to complete the procedures right now."

"Please pack your things quickly. I'll come back to pick you up in a bit, and we'll head to Beijing today."

"The sooner I get treatment, the sooner I recover, and the sooner I can feel at ease!"

Doctor Han and Qin Jingru exchanged a glance, and he nodded in agreement.

"Alright, doctors are compassionate. Since you are so sincere in seeking treatment, I can't refuse."

"Go take care of your business. I'll pack the things I need for treatment and bring some clothes. I'll go into the city with you today."

Xu Damao immediately ran to the commune to complete the formalities, and at this moment he couldn't care less about any exchange or learning.

Nothing is more important than his own health. Besides, he only came to this exchange to avoid Sha Zhu.

Now that he has Doctor Han, he is naturally no longer afraid of Sha Zhu. Not only is he not afraid, he is also planning to find Doctor Han to give Sha Zhu a good thrashing.

Doctor Han and Qin Jingru watched Xu Damao's departing figure, exchanged a smile, and neither of them spoke, everything was understood without words.

Just as Xu Damao was making a fuss about taking Doctor Han back to the capital, an uninvited guest arrived at the steel rolling mill's office building.

Unexpectedly, the arrival of this uninvited guest added new variables to the already troubled Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

Under Xu Damao's repeated urging, Doctor Han reluctantly followed him onto the bus bound for the capital.

The bicycle was also brought along, but it was tied to the roof of the car very securely, so there was no need to worry about it falling off.

As for Qin Jingru, she didn't come along. She needed to go back to her village to get a letter of introduction to go to Beijing.

However, Xu Damao had also made an agreement with her that once she got the letter of introduction and came to Beijing, he would treat her to a meal at a restaurant.

After a bumpy ride, the two got off the bus at the front door. Xu Damao then found a tricycle for Doctor Han, while he himself led the way on a bicycle.
