Early the next morning, Zhao Tienan arrived at Sun Jiumengzi's house again.

"Doctor Zhao, you're here, please have a seat. I'll make you a cup of tea."

Zhao Tienan had not yet spoken when a pretty, elegantly dressed woman greeted him first.

"Oh, okay, that would be nice."

Zhao Tienan nodded, speaking politely.

He knew this woman. She was Sun Jiumengzi's sister, named Sun Meiling, nearly thirty this year, and had always lived in the neighboring village.

Upon hearing that her brother was seriously injured, she hurried over to take care of him.

This was unavoidable, mainly because Sun Jiumengzi's father had been bedridden for a long time and could only be cared for by Mrs. Sun. Additionally, many sheep at home needed managing by Mrs. Sun.

That's why Sun Meiling was called over.

"Sun Jiumengzi, are you sober now?"

Seeing that Sun Jiumengzi had opened his eyes, Zhao Tienan immediately inquired.

Sometimes he genuinely admired these drunks; despite such severe injuries, he didn't feel any pain. He didn't even use anesthesia during the operation.

"Yeah, Doctor Zhao, I owe you my life."

Sun Jiumengzi opened his mouth, speaking very weakly.

"No need to thank me. I'm just a doctor, curing and saving people is my duty."

"Since you're sober now, let's talk about the medical expenses."

"The cost of medication and surgery is a total of four thousand six hundred yuan. Considering your family's hardship, I'll give you a discount, three thousand will be enough."

Zhao Tienan said flatly.

He truly looked down upon such self-destructive drunks like Sun Jiumengzi.

For the sake of being from the same village, he could offer a discount but definitely not cancel the debt.

"Doctor Zhao, see if there's anything valuable in my home you like, just take it."

"You know my situation, I can't come up with that much money."

Sun Jiumengzi hummed and hawed, looking as indifferent as a dead pig not fearing boiling water.

"What?"

"Are you trying to play tricks on me?"

"Don't forget, the fact that you're still alive is entirely because of me!"

When Zhao Tienan heard this, his anger flared up instantly.

"I know, you saved me, and I'm very grateful."

"But I really don't have the money. You can't expect me to conjure it up right now, can you?"

"How about this, you take the bandage off my neck, and stab a knife in, we'll call it even."

Sun Jiumengzi smacked his lips, acting completely like a rogue.

"Fine, Sun Jiumengzi, do as you wish."

"I've worked in the clinic for so many years, and I've never seen anyone dare to mess with me like this."

"Since you're refusing to pay the medical fees, don't blame me for being ruthless. I definitely can't kill you, but I'll burn your house down to pay the debt!"

Zhao Tienan gritted his teeth, suddenly standing up.

He wasn't a saint nor a pushover.

Since Sun Jiumengzi dared to treat him like a fool, Zhao Tienan wouldn't show him any kindness either.

The money could be forgotten, but the house must be burned.

"Doctor Zhao, please, don't do that."

"Isn't it just over three thousand yuan? You can come to me for it, can't you?"

At this moment, Sun Meiling came in with a pot of tea, speaking urgently.
