Chapter 25

Zhang Dong nodded indifferently but did not intend to continue the conversation.

Zhou Ning could only sigh inwardly and said to herself, "The doctor at the county hospital said his spine is broken, and it can't be treated here. If we want to treat him, we can only go to the provincial capital! The treatment alone will cost over a million, and there's no guarantee it will work."

"Zhou Ning, you don't mean to ask me to treat Zhou Zheng, do you?" Zhang Dong suddenly sneered.

Zhou Ning smiled bitterly and nodded, "Yes, I've thought about it a lot, and I believe only your miraculous medical skills can save my uncle! Zhang Dong, you can cure him, right?"

"Of course! Although spinal fractures are difficult to treat in Western medicine, it's nothing for me! A few acupuncture needles and a few doses of medicine will do the trick!" Zhang Dong said casually.

He wasn't just boasting; with the thirteen plum blossom needles from the divine farmer's legacy, he could mend bones and bone marrow, making it easy to treat spinal fractures.

Zhou Ning immediately showed a delighted smile, "Really? Can you help my uncle?"

As soon as she spoke, she saw Zhang Dong sneering in front of her.

"Help him? Why should I? Just because he constantly mocks me for lusting after his daughter, a swan, and calls me a toad? Or because he came to my house and made my sister cry? Zhou Ning, why should I treat him?"

By the end of his words, Zhang Dong's voice was full of coldness.

Although Zhang Dong had never claimed to be a good person, he always acted with a clear conscience and would help others when he could.

But that didn't mean he was a pushover!

If someone slapped you and you still smiled and helped them, that wasn't being a good person; that was being a fool!

Zhang Zhao Di, his sister, was always Zhang Dong's sore spot. How could he repay the insult by treating Zhou Zheng?

What a dream!

Seeing Zhang Dong's cold expression and icy eyes, Zhou Ning sighed inwardly.

In fact, she had known the outcome before she came.

If she had known earlier that her uncle Zhou Zheng was going to cause trouble at Zhang Dong's house, she would have tried her best to stop him.

Unfortunately, there's no such thing as "if."

Zhang Dong was no longer the poor boy who could be mocked by Zhou Zheng!

Not to mention his connection with the big shot Lin Tian in the county, who could get anything done with just a word!

Just with Zhang Dong's incredible medical skills, he was bound to rise to great heights!

But there was no way around it; Zhou Zheng had already offended Zhang Dong.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Ning moved her lips as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't speak.

She had originally planned to offer her body in exchange for Zhang Dong's help.

But then she thought, Zhang Dong already knew she was no longer a virgin; how could he accept?

Helpless, Zhou Ning could only apologize again in a low voice and turn to leave.

Watching Zhou Ning's departing back, Zhang Dong remained expressionless. It wasn't that he was heartless; it was just that Zhou Zheng had gone too far.

After composing himself, Zhang Dong went to the home of the construction team leader, Wang Youcai.

Wang Youcai was the village construction team leader, who had worked as a construction worker in big cities when he was young and was known for building houses quickly and well.

Especially for two-story houses, he was simply the best!

Even wealthy villagers from neighboring villages often came to him to build houses.

Zhang Dong's appearance surprised Wang Youcai, who was hammering nails to fix a stool in the yard.

Although he knew about the collapse of Zhang Dong's house, he didn't think Zhang Dong could have the money to build a new one, which would require at least 50,000 yuan.

"Brother Wang! I've brought you business!" Zhang Dong said with a smile as he entered.

Wang Youcai laughed, "Dongzi, are you planning to build a house? It's true, your house needs to be rebuilt, and it will be perfect for when you get married!"

What was originally a bad thing had become a good thing in Wang Youcai's mouth, showing his skill in dealing with people.

"Yes! Here's 30,000 yuan as a deposit. Brother Wang, please buy the materials first and design the house. If you have similar photos, you can show them to me."

Zhang Dong took out the 30,000 yuan he had reserved and handed it to Wang Youcai.

Seeing Zhang Dong take out the money without hesitation, and such a large amount, Wang Youcai was a bit incredulous.

When he took the thick stack of money and felt the unique texture of the RMB, he finally believed it.

"Dongzi, you've really made it! You've earned some money!" Wang Youcai quickly laughed.

But he quickly returned 20,000 yuan to Zhang Dong, "Take this 20,000 back and put it in the bank. 10,000 yuan as a deposit is enough! Paying 20% as a deposit is the rule, no need for so much."

But Zhang Dong shook his head and said seriously, "Brother Wang, I didn't make a mistake! This 30,000 yuan is 20% of the deposit! I plan to have you build a two-story house for my family!"

"A two-story house?" Wang Youcai was completely stunned.

There were only four or five two-story houses in their village, and Wang Youcai had predicted that the next one would be built by Zhou Zheng.

After all, his daughter was so beautiful and studying in the city. If she found a rich boyfriend, he would surely build a house for them.

But no matter how hard Wang Youcai thought, he couldn't imagine that Zhang Dong would be the first to build a house!

After a moment, Wang Youcai looked at Zhang Dong seriously, "Dongzi, tell Brother Wang, how much do you plan to spend on this house?"

Hearing this, Zhang Dong thought for a moment and then said, "Brother Wang, you decide! I've prepared 150,000 yuan, so build it according to this standard. If it's not enough, I'll add more. In short, build a good house, as it's for our family to live in."

"Wow!" Wang Youcai couldn't help but draw in a breath.

Zhang Dong had really made it big!

He was willing to spend 150,000 yuan on a house and even planned to add more if needed.

"Alright! Just for your words, Brother Wang will build the most beautiful two-story house in the village for you! I'll send you the model photos on WeChat later!" Wang Youcai said solemnly.

"Ha! Thanks, Brother Wang!" Zhang Dong smiled and pushed the money back to Wang Youcai.

They then added each other on WeChat, and Zhang Dong left.

After Zhang Dong left, Wang Youcai stood there for a while, finally accepting the reality.

Zhang Dong was no longer the naive kid he used to be but had grown into a capable and responsible adult!

No, Zhang Dong was even more capable than Wang Youcai!

At the same time.

In the intensive care unit of the county hospital, Zhou Ning appeared in the corridor, looking dejected.

After being rejected by Zhang Dong, she really couldn't think of a way to save her uncle Zhou Zheng.

The medical expenses of over a million yuan were beyond what Zhou Zheng's family could afford, and even if they could, Zhou Zheng might not be willing to spend so much on treatment.

Without money for treatment, the only outcome was to stay in the county hospital for a while and then go home to die!
