In the evening of that day, Deng Hua left the hospital despite Jin's efforts to stay.
He couldn't go to Hongyun Restaurant anymore, so he just found a random restaurant without even a name. He just hung up a small stall with the word "wine" on the door. He didn't ask for any appetizers. He just had a jar of cheap shochu and started pouring bowls of it.
Drinking it one bowl at a time.
When he finished the jar of wine and couldn't pour it out, a familiar figure walked up to him, raised his hand and called to the waiter: "Bring a jar of good wine to this table!"
"Okay, here you go!" The waiter happily agreed and ran all the way to the back to get the wine.
Hou Biao raised his hand and patted Deng Hua on the shoulder, and said in a hoarse voice: "Why are you here? I just went to Hongyun Restaurant to look for you, but I didn't find you. I walked all the way back and looked at you from a distance.
Looks like you here, when I come over and see, it’s really… a sneeze!”
"What's wrong with you? Are you sick?"
Hou Biao casually took out his handkerchief and wiped it and said, "I'm a bit cold, it's okay."
Hearing this, Deng Hua looked around and stood up and said, "Then let's go inside the shed. It's too cold outside."
Hou Biao was overjoyed when he heard this, and he clearly noticed that Deng Hua's attitude towards him had changed.
Because they asked for a jar of good wine, the two of them entered the shed smoothly. Hou Biao ordered a few more dishes to go with the wine, and then he and Deng Hua started drinking.
Deng Hua had drank a jar of soju before and was already half drunk now. After eating a few mouthfuls of food and drinking a few glasses of wine, he began to talk on his own without Hou Biao asking.
The general idea is that he was the one who brought the Gao family to seek refuge with Mrs. Tong, but now Gao Shan has stepped on her.
Not only that, his wife and son didn't understand him either. Instead, they helped Gao Shan to suppress him. His wife even said that they would go back to their hometown together.
Hou Biao poured him a glass of wine and asked, pretending to be unintentional: "You don't really want to go back to your hometown, do you?"
"What can I do if I don't come back? Why wait here for my wife and children to leave?" Deng Hua picked up the wine glass, raised his head and drank it all.
"The life in my hometown is not as good as here, right?"
"Of course, how can it be compared with Wuchang Mansion?"
"Is there any industry over there in my hometown? What can I do to make a living back there?" Hou Biao asked.
"What kind of industry is there! Go back and farm!"
Hou Biao said deliberately: "It's good to have land in my hometown. I can still make a living at least."
Deng Hua said with a bitter tone: "Back then I left my hometown and went out to work, but I never thought I would have to go back to farm when I got older!"
"You have been outside for so many years, don't you have any savings?"
"I have savings, but they are not much. I still have to save some for my second son to get a wife and buy a dowry for my younger daughter. If we can stutter when we get home, what do we expect? It's good that our children don't need to be subsidized by us.
It’s over!”
After so many days of direct contact and side-to-side understanding and investigation, Hou Biao felt that the heat was almost there.
He looked around and saw that there was no one around. He approached Deng Hua and whispered: "Brother Deng, since you have decided to go back to your hometown, do you want to make a lot of money before leaving? Wouldn't it be nice to return home in fine clothes?"
Deng Hua raised his eyes and looked at him, his eyes were drunk and hesitant.
Hou Biao struck while the iron was hot: "We have known each other for so many days, do you think I am a bad person? You also know that in the past year or so, Mrs. Tong has been so popular that it has seriously affected the business of other medical clinics, so
Someone hired me to get Mrs. Tong's medical records and find out what her brilliance was.
"You are in charge of the warehouse now. You just need to help copy out the medical records I need. As long as you do it secretly, no one will know."
The wavering in Deng Hua's eyes became more and more obvious, but the last trace of reason in his mind still seemed to be pulling at him.
Hou Biao immediately increased his lobbying efforts and said: "Brother Deng, if you think about it carefully, this matter is actually not a bad thing. If other doctors can learn something from Lady Tong's medical case, it will also benefit the people."
Yes or no?
"When the time comes, you can get a sum of money, and I can also get a sum of money. Everyone will be happy, right?"
Deng Hua hesitated for a long time but still shook his head and said: "Although I have returned to my hometown, my son will continue to work in the hospital. If this matter is discovered after I leave, I will leave. My son will still be here."
I can’t stay in the hospital any longer.”
Hou Biao heard that Deng Hua had actually accepted his suggestion, but was still worried about the future of his children. He immediately added: "Brother Deng, you forgot, I told you before, I have a gingerbread book in my hand.
The medical records written by the miracle doctor were exactly what Lady Tong had been looking for.
"As long as you bring out a copy of the medical record I asked for, that medical record will be yours. Then your son can take it to Mrs. Tong to make meritorious deeds. What do you think?"
This last point finally made Deng Hua, who was still wavering, make up his mind. He took a sip of wine and asked a question in a low voice, knowingly.
"Whose medical records do you want?"
Hou Biao didn't speak at all this time. He dipped his finger into the wine in the glass and wrote the word "Rui" on the table.
Deng Hua's eyebrows jumped uncontrollably.
Although he had already guessed what the other party was aiming for, when Hou Biao finally revealed his goal, he still couldn't help but feel tight in his heart.
After Hou Biao finished writing, he made sure that Deng Hua had read it clearly, and immediately wiped the wine on the table with his sleeves.
Deng Hua was silent for a long time before he remembered that he had to continue acting and could not make Hou Biao suspicious at the last moment.
"After it's done, I mean if I copy out all the medical records as you said, how much money can I get?"
"At least one hundred taels!" Hou Biao said without hesitation, "You can start from the latest medical records. For every month's medical records you copy, I will give you fifteen taels of silver."
Mrs. Tong has been treating Prince Rui for a while. If calculated according to this calculation, if all the medical records can be copied out, Deng Hua will definitely get more than one hundred taels of silver.
But Hou Biao's words revealed his purpose. If he really wanted to learn something from medical records, he would naturally have to learn from scratch. How could he ask for the latest medical records first?
Deng Hua's expression changed slightly, showing that he noticed something was wrong.
But in the end he didn't ask.
Now that he has decided to do it, what Hou Biao will do after getting the medical record is not his concern.
"Where is Doctor Jiang's medical record? When will it be given to me?" Deng Hua asked.
"When you hand over all the medical records to me, it will be yours!" Hou Biao said.
Deng Hua still frowned and remained silent. After thinking for a long time, he shook his head and said, "No, I can't follow what you said.
"In this way, I will copy all the medical records and give them to you, and you will give me one hundred taels of silver and Doctor Jiang's medical records at once, handing over the money and delivering the goods!"
"No problem." Hou Biao felt a little regretful when he saw that Deng Hua didn't take the bait, but he didn't continue to bargain and said, "You have the final say!"
