Chapter 223 - 223 216 Borrowing Money

?Chapter 223: Chapter 216: Borrowing Money Chapter 223: Chapter 216: Borrowing Money Actually, the reason was quite simple: Qian Xinxue’s grandson had fallen ill. After being seen by the village’s barefoot doctor, who said he couldn’t cure him, they were told that if they wanted to save the child’s life, they had to get him to a hospital as soon as possible.

But in the eyes of rural people, a hospital wasn’t a place they could go to easily. Not to mention having to get a referral letter before being treated, the cost of medical care was also beyond what ordinary people could afford. The hospital was seen as a place that burned through money, and ordinary folks didn’t have the courage to even contemplate going there.

Qian Xinxue couldn’t bear to watch her hard-raised grandson just wait to die at home, so she went from house to house, begging and borrowing, scraping together some money. However, the borrowed sum was still far from enough for the medical expenses. She was out of options, so she came to Shen Yunfang’s place to see if she could borrow some money for the emergency. Qian Xinxue promised that as soon as she had the money, she’d definitely pay Shen Yunfang back first.

Shen Yunfang listened with a furrowed brow, feeling more like Qian Xinxue was telling a story than recounting real events.
