Chapter 556: Chapter 556

The Chen family next door, namely Chen Hai, is considered one of the well-off among the younger generation in the village. He built a new house for his family, the tallest in the village, and it’s beautifully renovated inside and out, making it quite eye-catching.

This makes the people in the village extremely envious, each giving a thumbs up, praising, "Xiaohai, this kid sure is promising!"

Moreover, Chen Hai is getting married soon, and he has invited the entire village to the wedding. That’s quite a feat, showing how wealthy he truly is; he’s done incredibly well in the city.

This Chen Hai is definitely someone else’s golden child!

Even Mrs. Lin feels a bit envious. Her son is so accomplished that, although it’s not good to compare, thinking of how her son works hard delivering food in the city, earning only seven to eight thousand a month with great effort, making over ten thousand is quite difficult.

For delivery workers, the more you work, the more you earn. Some indeed can earn over ten thousand a month, but it’s from working day and night.

What Mrs. Lin envies is that Chen Hai seems to lead a good life, while comparatively, her own son seems to be struggling. Her hope is for her son to have a good life too.

Lin Fan understands his mother’s thoughts. She just feels sorry for him, always considering her children the most, and her affection is directed towards them.

So, Lin Fan decided not to let his mother worry about him anymore. The parents should know their son is actually doing quite well, living in a mansion worth 3 billion, and is the president of a 200 billion group company.

Lin Fan said, "Mom, actually, your son is doing quite well now, not short of money..."

Mrs. Lin replied, "You don’t need to comfort me, son. I watched TV. I know how hard delivery work is, running outside all day, exposed to the elements, and encountering various issues. It’s all hard-earned money."

Lin Fan sighed inwardly. If he tells his mother he has a fortune of a billion now, she surely wouldn’t believe him.

Lin Fan said, "No, Mom, actually I’m no longer a delivery man. Now I’m quite rich. I’m the richest person in Yun City, with 100 billion in cash and many assets. The cars I drive now cost 70 million and 8 million; they’re the world’s top luxury cars."

Father Lin and Mrs. Lin were stunned to hear this and exchanged a glance. Latest content publıshed on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝙣𝙚𝙩

Mrs. Lin then reached out, feeling Lin Fan’s forehead: "Son, are you having a fever, talking nonsense?"

Of course, they wouldn’t believe him, even if he was telling the truth.

It’s not their fault for not believing; how does someone go from being a delivery man to the richest person in Yun City overnight? Isn’t this just a fairy tale?

Father Lin and Mrs. Lin thought Lin Fan was feeling a bit unsettled, hearing that Chen Hai was doing so well and started talking nonsense as a form of self-comfort.

Father Lin changed the subject, saying, "Let’s not talk about this. Whether we have money or not doesn’t matter. There’s no need to envy others. As long as the family is healthy, that’s the greatest wealth. Little Fan, how long do you plan to stay this time?"

Lin Fan replied, "I’ll leave after settling Uncle San, in about two or three days. By the way, Old Liu is not here these days, so I’ll be at the village clinic, taking his place as promised."

Father Lin said with satisfaction, "Great, you’ve learned medical skills, and being able to help others is the best."

Since childhood, Father Lin taught Lin Fan that with greater capability comes greater responsibility. In poverty, keep to oneself; in prosperity, help the world. If you have the ability, help those in need.

The night passed without words.

The next day, Lin Fan arrived at the clinic early in the morning.

Liu Zixing saw Lin Fan coming and was very happy, smiling, "I thought you weren’t coming."

Lin Fan said, "I promised I’d come, so I had to be here."

Throughout the morning, Lin Fan was in the clinic. At first, it was rather quiet, with only a few patients coming in for minor issues like colds, which Lin Fan casually medicated and cured.

Such minor illnesses didn’t really showcase Lin Fan’s medical skills.

Suddenly, a man appeared, carrying an elderly man, hurrying in. The elderly man looked in pain, hovering between life and death.

"Lin Fan, I heard you saved Huzi yesterday. That’s great, and you’re here today too!"

The man smiled at Lin Fan, sweat dripping from his brow.

Lin Fan took a look and recognized the man as Honest Chen, and the elderly man he carried was his father, named Chen Zhonghou. This pair was as honest as their names suggested.

"Honest Uncle, what’s going on?" Lin Fan asked in surprise.

Honest Chen said, "My dad hurt his leg a few days ago, and Doctor Liu suggested sending him to the town hospital. They operated on him there, and he seemed fine, but suddenly he was in excruciating pain. I heard you’re substituting for Doctor Liu, so I rushed over. Lin Fan, can you take a look at my dad?"

Lin Fan said, "Okay, lay him down first."

At the entrance of the clinic was a long bench for patients to wait in line, and Honest Chen placed his father Chen Zhonghou on it to sit up.

Chen Zhonghou’s right foot was wrapped in bandages, the entire foot was black and swollen, a sorry sight.

Lin Fan took one look and knew it was serious and would take some time to treat.

Lin Fan crouched before Chen Zhonghou, helping to untie the bandages, releasing a foul odor. On his calf was a surgical wound over ten centimeters, sewn with stitches, evidently not long since surgery, with the entire calf swollen.

Lin Fan pressed his fingers on various parts of Chen Zhonghou’s calf, while asking Chen Zhonghou about his feelings.

Chen Zhonghou, in a weak state, responded to Lin Fan with furrowed brows and feeble answers.

"Lin Fan, how is my dad?" Honest Chen asked anxiously.

Lin Fan replied, "The situation is quite serious. First, tell me how Grandpa Zhonghou got injured."

Honest Chen said, "He went to chop wood, and fell down a slope, breaking his calf bone. The town doctor said it was shattered and needed surgery. They did the surgery, and he seemed fine, but now it’s just two days later."

Lin Fan nodded, "His leg bone indeed shattered, but the surgery didn’t help, and now there’s necrosis."

Honest Chen, shocked, said, "Necrosis? How could this happen?"

Lin Fan explained, "Elderly are generally prone to osteoporosis and not sturdy enough for falls. Grandpa Zhonghou fell, shattering his leg bone. The town hospital’s surgery was sloppy, leading to bone necrosis. If not treated soon, the necrosis will continue, risking the loss of Grandpa Zhonghou’s leg, possibly threatening his life."

Honest Chen, alarmed, exclaimed, "What to do? Lin Fan, you have to save my dad. I heard you brought Huzi back from the brink. You must have a way, right?"

Lin Fan had saved the dying Chen Huzi, and this news was spreading throughout the village. Some believed Lin Fan merely got lucky, like a blind cat catching a dead rat, but others held hope, seeking his help.

Honest Chen was one of those, not knowing where else to turn after the county hospital’s surgery failed, thus coming to Lin Fan to give it a try.
