Chapter 1798: [Side Story] a waste of feelings

Zhang Zian was dumbfounded.

Although it was said that the weather was unpredictable, and people had their ups and downs, just a few days ago, welder Zhao, who was still alive and kicking in front of his shop, was in critical condition in the blink of an eye. This Wasnt this development a little too fast?

Since the opening of his aquarium, he had met electrician Wu, welder Zhao, and Carpenter w.a.n.g, the three great water and electricity remodelling workers by chance. The first two had almost always witnessed the growth of the aquarium. Now, his shop had finally survived the disease that swept the world, but welder Zhao, who was in great health, had fallen?

No What happened to master Zhao? Did she get sick or was she hit by a car? He asked hurriedly.

He wasnt hit by a car. He has a strong sense of safety and follows the traffic rules. Its just that He got sick. Sigh! Electrician Wu let out a long sigh.

On closer look, electrician Wu seemed to have aged a few years. His already gray hair had turned even whiter.

What kind of illness? Zhang Zian asked.

Ah Cancer!

In fact, electrician Wu had just said that it was cancer, but Zhang Zian mistook it for an AI.

Hearing that it was cancer, Zhang Zian was upset. Most cancer was terminal if it was not diagnosed in time, and very few people could survive it. Especially when he heard that welder Zhao was in critical condition, it must be in the late stage. There was basically no cure.

Is there anything I can help with? He asked.

At times like this, electrician Wu was welder Zhaos best friend. He should be by welder Zhaos side or comforting his family. However, since electrician Wu had come to his shop on purpose, it was probably not as simple as just informing him.

Zhang Zian wondered if welder Zhao wanted to take advantage of him when his life was in danger and asked electrician Wu to come over and tell him about it so that he could bring gifts such as a fruit basket and milk to visit him.

Electrician Wu really sighed this time and said, Old Zhao asked me to come and tell you that no one in his family owns fish, and he doesnt want to give away the junk in his fish tank to someone else. He asked you to go and take his things back to your shop. He said that he has troubled you a lot, and as a fish friend, its too vulgar to give money. Besides, his family is waiting to get a share of the money. Those fish and corals, just take it as a gift from a friend. Its a memento. At the same time, he said goodbye to you one last time and thanked you.

When Zhang Zian heard this, he almost couldnt hold back his tears. Indeed, when one was about to die, ones words were kind. Welder Zhao, who had always been stingy, actually wanted to give him the fish he raised. This

To be honest, if welder Zhao wanted to take advantage of him for the last time and asked him to bring a fruit basket and milk to visit the patient, he would feel better.

Electrician Wu looked into the store. Store manager Zhang, do you have time? If its convenient, can you fulfill his wish and make a trip? This will be the last time Ill trouble you.

In this case, even if Zhang Zians shop was full of people, he would still have to make time to go there, not to mention that it was completely deserted now.

Ill go now.

Electrician Wu heaved a sigh of relief and said,Sure. Manager Zhang, youre driving, right? I rode my bicycle here, so Ill be leaving first.

Yes.

Zhang Zian was about to turn around and go into the shop to explain to the staff when he suddenly remembered that he had not asked clearly what was going on. He asked again,Master Wu, should I go to master Zhaos house or the hospital? Which hospital?

Didnt you go to his house a few times? You should know the way, right? Electrician Wu said.

Ah?

Zhang Zian was stunned.Isnt he in critical condition? Youre not hospitalized?

!Electrician Wu slapped his thigh in anger, and the veins on his forehead were popping out.I get angry every time you mention this!

What do you mean? Zhang Zian was puzzled.

This old man said that hes hopeless. Hes not going to be treated, and he cant be cured. He wont be hospitalized no matter what. Hes going to wait for death at home. I think he just cant bear to spend money! Electrician Wu was so angry that he pounded his chest and stomped his feet.When I was in school, I saw stories about misers. I thought they were made up. How can there be people in this world who would give up their lives for money? Ever since I met old Zhao, I feel like I can write a textbook!

This was indeed welder Zhaos style.

So, manager Zhang, I would like to ask you to talk to Mr. Zhao. He has always trusted you. If you can get him to stay in the hospital, youll be the Savior of his family! Electrician Wu sighed.Its not that his family is so poor that they dont have the money to treat his illness. He has seen too many cases of poverty caused by illness. There were co-workers in the past who were such examples. He didnt want his entire family to be implicated if he died.

Zhang Zian was speechless.

Just now, he was still angry. Why didnt he stay in the hospital if he was sick? Just to save money? Now, he admired welder Zhao for being a man.

In fact, welder Zhaos concerns were not completely unreasonable. Some diseases could not be spent. If the money could be used to cure the disease, it would be fine. The worst thing was that after a few years, the money would be used up, and the person would be gone. He would lose both his life and his money.

If he spent all his savings to cure his illness and sold his house, it would not matter if he closed his eyes or kicked his legs, but his whole family would have to go under the bridge and drink from the Northwest wind.

Who didnt want to live? As long as it was a normal person, they would want to live a good life. Welder Zhao was the same. He was stingy with his money because he didnt want to waste it and leave more money for his family. However, if he wanted to struggle for his own life, he had to make his family suffer. As a man, he should think more. From this point of view, he admired welder Zhao.

I look down on old Zhao. Electrician Wu suddenly said.

Why? Zhang Zian asked.

What does he take us old co-workers for? If it really comes to that, well just pool our money together and have a mouthful of food to eat. We wont let his family go hungry! Electrician Wu said in a m.u.f.fled voice.

Zhang Zian also sighed. Electrician Wu was very loyal, but there were some things that the person involved couldnt be so free and easy about. A favor was still a debt, and the money of his old colleagues didnt come from the wind. Also, did the family members of his old colleagues agree?

How much does the treatment cost? He asked.

This I dont know yet. Electrician Wu shook his head.

What did the doctor say? What are the chances of being cured? He asked again.

Electrician Wu spread his hands.The doctor didnt say anything. Before he could ask, Zhao was already saying that he wanted to go home.

Ah? Zhang Zian was stunned again.Youre asking to go home? The notice of critical illness

Theres no notice of critical illness. Its old Zhao himself who said that hes in critical condition. After he came back from the hospital, he laid in bed and moaned. He said that he felt uncomfortable all over and that the cancer might have spread. Hes about to die. Electrician Wu explained.

Zhang Zian was speechless.

He had wasted his feelings because, based on his understanding of welder Zhao, this might not be the last time he would trouble him.
