Chapter 194 Venting a Mouth
Chen Yuan was afraid his mother would get angry, so he reached out and grabbed her arm.
"Mom, there's no need to talk to them about this. Let's go back."
"I'm not going back. I'm going to have a serious talk with them! We can't let them bully us like this!"
Just then, Lin Wei arrived, and Wang Xiulan was determined to have a proper talk about this matter.
She was very assertive and pushed Chen Yuan's hand away.
"Lin Wei! Let's not talk about the distant past. Just a couple of years ago, your brother couldn't find a job after graduation. Wasn't it Chen Yuan's dad who ran around giving gifts to get him in?"
"He got into a fight just a few days after starting at the factory. It was Xiao Yuan who went to apologize and managed to cover it up, right?!"
"And during holidays, isn't it always Xiaoyuan who pays out of his own pocket to give your parents money and buy them New Year's goods?"
"When your grandma broke her leg and was hospitalized, who queued up overnight to register her and ran around taking care of her? I'm not saying this to be mean, but aren't you going a bit too far? Are you just picking on the good people?"
"You Lin family are really something! You Lin family know how to raise your son! The good son you raised even managed to smash his own brother-in-law with a stick, fracturing his bones! How much force must that have taken!"
"Even if they're your enemy, you shouldn't be so ruthless!"
Wang Xiulan became increasingly agitated as she spoke, her chest heaving violently.
At the same time, Lin Wei felt ashamed and lowered her head, tears streaming down her face, unable to utter a single word in rebuttal.
Wang Xiulan sneered, "You don't need to cry and make a scene here. What are you pretending for? Now that your family is in trouble, you know to come begging for help, you know to be scared. Where were you before?"
"If your family had just kept a proper eye on Lin Hao, would things have come to this? He brought this upon himself!"
"And now you've got the nerve to come to our doorstep and force my son to sign some bullshit letter of understanding? You've got the nerve to stand at our doorstep and bully my son?"
Lin Wei turned pale from the scolding, and her shoulders trembled uncontrollably.
But she had no choice.
She really wanted to make a scene, but if she did, she might never get the letter of understanding again.
Chen Yuan let his mother vent her anger.
When it was almost time, Chen Yuan stepped forward, gently took his mother's arm, and spoke in a gentle voice.
"Mom, don't be angry. Go inside and rest. It's not worth arguing with their family."
After saying that, Chen Yuan gave Su Qingxue a wink.
Su Qingxue understood and immediately stepped forward to support Lin Xiulan's arm.
"Please come in, madam. I've come to see Teacher Chen today. Let's go inside and talk."
Wang Xiulan had just vented her anger by yelling.
So he snorted and turned to go inside.
Chen Yuan and Lin Wei were standing outside the courtyard.
Chen Yuan said, "You should leave now. Once I've dealt with things on my end in a couple of days, I'll sign the letter of understanding."
After saying that, Chen Yuan turned and left, not giving Lin Wei a chance to speak.
The door was closed.
What happened outside was no longer his concern.
a few days later.
Chen Yuan's breakfast shop has resumed serving all breakfasts.
Chen Yuan remained standing in the breakfast shop, and the customers queuing around him felt reassured when they saw him.
The oven for making meat-filled flatbread was lit early in the morning.
The dough is rolled out evenly, wrapped around a filling of lean and fatty meat, and mixed with a secret scallion and ginger water, white pepper, and freshly roasted Sichuan peppercorn powder.
Pinch the opening closed and press it into a round shape.
Then it was placed on an oiled iron plate, and it sizzled as soon as it was placed on it.
The aroma of meat and noodles wafts out very strongly, assertive yet not greasy.
Many people come specifically for this hot pot.
Twenty pieces from one batch are simply not enough to go around.
It was snatched up as soon as it came out of the pot.
An elderly man wearing short sleeves and fanning himself with a palm leaf fan took the first bite, and the crisp sound of the outer skin crackling brought him a sense of comfort from the bottom of his heart.
"Absolutely amazing! I haven't had such delicious meat sandwiches in years. The outer crust is crispy and fragrant, and the meat filling inside is so fresh and juicy!"
"This is so delicious—fatty but not greasy, lean but not dry, and the Sichuan peppercorn flavor is perfectly balanced. It's wonderful!"
This isn't the only person who gave it such high praise.
"Help... This is so delicious! The minced meat is so fresh, you can tell it's fresh meat just by tasting it. I've waited half a month for this, it's worth it!"
"This is what you need to eat for breakfast to keep you full. That meat sandwich is delicious and filling!"
"The cooking time is perfect. It's so satisfying and filling, I feel like I have energy all day."
Chen Yuan's hands didn't stop moving. Listening to the constant praise and chewing sounds, he felt his whole body become energetic.
Aunt Li was very happy to see the lively scene.
Of course, she was happy not only because of the excitement, but also because Chen Yuan had given them a raise.
Moreover, the increase is doubled, because the current work is indeed very tiring, and the workload has increased several times over.
But as long as she can make money, Aunt Li is happy from the bottom of her heart.
I have been busy all morning.
They finally closed down.
Chen Yuan didn't sit idle; he made a batch of meat-filled buns for his family.
He also brought two for Zhang Liping.
Zhang Liping couldn't stop smiling when she saw the meat-filled buns.
"Oh, Xiao Chen, why are you being so polite?"
"It's nothing, I just made it on the spur of the moment. I was thinking that you might not have eaten yet, so I brought two over for you to have something to eat."
Zhang Liping didn't stand on ceremony and accepted it directly.
The two began their conversation to the main topic.
"I've asked around about Xia Qing's situation and I've found out the details. We need to get a preliminary screening report first. If her auditory nerve is intact and her cochlear structure is fine, then the implant can be done."
"Anyway, we need to do this kind of examination first to make sure it's safe before we can schedule the surgery."
"Actually, that's not a big deal; the cost is the real issue. I've specifically asked around about this and verified it."
Zhang Liping took out her phone and showed a picture with all the expenses listed in an orderly manner.
"The expenses are all miscellaneous, including hospitalization and surgery. All these miscellaneous costs add up to about 18 yuan, but you don't have to pay them out of pocket, as medical insurance can reimburse 60% of them."
"The Disabled Persons' Federation also provides special subsidies for this. As long as the families in need meet the criteria, they can get a subsidy of 8 yuan for equipment. That's a lot of money."
"And Xiao Zhao, who helped us, also said there's some kind of green channel that can reduce the price by another 20,000. Anyway, we calculated it for a long time and found that we could get it down to around 30,000 or 40,000."
Chen Yuan sincerely exclaimed, "This policy is truly wonderful. After all these reductions, it's down to 18 from 34, which significantly reduces the financial burden. It's all thanks to you, Sister Zhang."
Zhang Liping was beaming with pride at the praise, and then told him even better news.
"Not only that, I also found out that the hospital offers zero-interest installment payments for 12 months in this situation, costing just over 3000 yuan per month!"
