Chapter 155: Provide him with education
Jiang Ling followed out quickly, his eyes bloodshot, and looked at Xie Yan with a painful face, his thin body shaking constantly.
"Doctor Xie, tell me the truth. Is my grandma hopeless? A few days ago, Doctor Chen from the clinic across the street came to see my grandma. He said in front of my grandma that there was nothing serious and she would get better soon. But after he came out, he told me that my grandma could live for two months at most."
Xie Yan lowered his voice and said, "Your grandmother not only has emphysema, but also ascites. Her condition is indeed very serious now."
Jiang Ling covered his mouth in pain and squatted on the ground. His body was shaking due to excessive sadness and his tears were falling like drops of water from a broken string. He suppressed his tears and did not let himself cry out because he was afraid that his grandmother would hear him.
"Alas!" Xie Yan sighed, and patted Jiang Ling's head. "Don't worry, although your grandma's condition is very bad, I will definitely do my best to cure her."
Jiang Ling looked up at Xie Yan with excitement and fear, "Really... can it really be cured?"
"If you don't try, how do you know it can't be cured? Okay, get up first and come back to the clinic with me to get some medicine."
"Thank you." Jiang Ling wiped away his tears, went back to the room and said goodbye to Aunt Jiang, then followed Xie Yan and his wife back to the clinic.
After returning, Xie Yan wrote a prescription and gave it to Tang Man.
Tang Man understood what was meant, took the prescription to the pharmacy, and personally got the medicine for Aunt Jiang.
After getting the medicine, Tang Man took Jiang Ling out of the clinic, handed the medicine to Jiang Ling, and told him the precautions and how to boil the medicine.
Jiang Ling held the medicine and bent down towards Tang Man. "Thank you. I will definitely repay you and Doctor Xie in the future."
Tang Man nodded and asked, "Jiang Ling, I have a job here, are you willing to do it?"
Jiang Ling raised his head and looked at Tang Man. "What job?"
"Help me deliver food to the West District Military District compound and the clinic every day. I'll pay you once for each delivery. It's 50 cents each time."
Jiang Ling nodded without any hesitation. "Okay, but I don't want money. The West District Military District compound is not far away, and the clinic is not far away either. I just want to go there and you don't need to pay me. But do you want me to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables for you? Then you have to tell me in advance what vegetables to buy every day."
"Here, just keep it. Your grandma's illness doesn't cost money, but you still need money to live."
Jiang Ling shook his head firmly and said, "You promised to save my grandmother, so you are our family's great benefactors. From now on, you and Doctor Xie can tell us to do anything. I will not refuse anything."
What should I say about him?
People say he is too loyal and righteous, because he is willing to give everything for a favor.
Or maybe he is too stupid and will work for others if given a little benefit.
But no matter which one it is, it doesn't matter. In short, this person belongs to her in this life, and she, Tang Man, will not use beauty tricks to make someone obey her. She will only use both kindness and force to make the other party willingly work for her and never betray her.
"Have you been to school?" When at Jiang Ling's house, Tang Man saw the textbooks on the table. Those were junior high school textbooks. It seemed that Jiang Ling had attended junior high school.
Jiang Ling didn't know why Tang Man suddenly asked this, but he still replied obediently, "I only studied until the third year of junior high school. My grandfather happened to be sick at that time, so I stopped studying."
"I will arrange for you to go back to school, and I will pay for your tuition."
"Ah?" Tang Ling stared at Tang Man blankly. Tang Man not only promised to save his grandmother, but also to support his education...
But why?
"Aren't you going to repay me and help me? What can a junior high school student do? If you want to help me, wait until you get into Kyoto University with excellent grades."
Tang Ling bit his lip and looked at Tang Man. After a long while, he nodded heavily, "Thank you, Madam. I will definitely be able to do it."
"Go back! Starting tomorrow morning, come to No. 9 Tongxin Street around 186 o'clock every morning. Someone will put the vegetables in wooden boxes outside the door. The vegetables are divided. You just need to send one portion of these vegetables to the clinic and one portion to the West District Military District compound. Just like what I said before, you will be billed once for each delivery. It's fifty cents each time."
"I……"
Tang Man raised her hand to stop Jiang Ling from continuing, "If you want to repay me, besides getting into Beijing University with excellent grades, you must also stay alive first."
Jiang Ling nodded heavily and said, "I will definitely return these to you in the future."
"Let's go back!"
Tang Man said this and turned to go back, but after taking two steps she stopped and said.
"It's best not to tell anyone about the money you make running errands for me. Your father and stepmother are not good people. If they knew you made money, they might go to your house and force you to take out the money. Money is a small matter. You can earn it again if you lose it, but if your grandmother is hurt by this, it will be difficult to save her."
Jiang Ling clenched his fists. Yes, his father and stepmother were indeed capable of such a thing.
After returning to the clinic, Tang Man told Xie Yan that he wanted to pay for Jiang Ling's studies and wanted to employ Jiang Ling in the future, and that he wanted Jiang Ling to deliver vegetables to the military compound and the clinic. As for where the vegetables came from, he naturally used the same excuse as before, asking his friend who resold vegetables on the black market to deliver them.
As for why no one was allowed to send the vegetables to the clinic, it was because the other party did not want more people to know him so as to avoid causing trouble for himself.
In this day and age, speculation is a serious crime, so it is normal for the other party to be vigilant. Therefore, Xie Yan did not think much about it and just smiled and nodded.
"That kid is obviously a man who values friendship and loyalty. If he can help you in the future, it would be a good thing. It is also a good idea to let him deliver food to his parents-in-law. That kid has a strong sense of self-esteem. If you give him money directly, he will not accept it. This method can not only help him, but also preserve his self-esteem.
The most important thing is that doing this can help my parents-in-law. They are very busy and have to go out to buy groceries before dawn. It’s too hard, and we should really help them share the burden.”
Seeing Xie Yan's straightforward agreement, Tang Man half-jokingly asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will use our money to subsidize my parents' home?"
Xie Yan smiled and shook his head.
"It's nothing to subsidize my parents to buy some food. Besides, aren't you making money? Although it's just the beginning, you may make more money than me in the future. I may have to rely on you for support in the future. Of course, even if you don't make money, it's my duty to respect my parents-in-law."
"Brother Yan, you're so nice." Tang Man glanced around and made sure that no one was paying attention to them. She quickly leaned over, kissed Xie Yan on the lips, and ran away.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people in the clinic at this moment, Tang Man told Zheng Chunying and Xie Wenfeng about Jiang Ling's situation and what she was going to do. Both of them supported Tang Man very much, and Xie Wenfeng even offered to help Jiang Ling get back to school.
With the support of the two, Tang Man called Li Wenjuan again and told her that someone would be arranged to deliver food to her home every day, and asked them to inform the security guard.
Li Wenjuan refused at first. Her daughter was married and had her own family. It was bad enough that they could not support their family, but it was unreasonable to ask their daughter to subsidize the family. It was not until Tang Man told her about Jiang Ling's situation and explained that he just wanted to find a reason to help Jiang Ling that Li Wenjuan agreed.
