Rebirth 1978, Wife, I won't go back to the city

Chapter 267 Extravagance and Wastefulness

However, Jiang Guoli felt that Li Jingshen could afford it. After all, Li Jingshen not only saved Lao Xu's son, but also saved the entire Lao Xu family!

Li Jingshen didn't know what to say, so he could only leave everything to Jiang Guoli.

Although it was indeed a life-saving favor, he did not feel that he deserved such a huge reward.

For Li Jingshen, what happened yesterday was indeed a piece of cake and not worth mentioning!

But for the entire Xu family, it is a great favor and they should repay it with gratitude.

Jiang Guoli asked Lao Xu to send the others back. It was not a good idea to keep beating drums and gongs outside the door!

In the end, Jiang Guoli kept the pig's head that Lao Xu sent, but regarding Lao Xu's invitation to the whole village for dinner, he gave Lao Xu a suggestion that there was no need to be so extravagant.

We just need to treat the few people who went into the river to rescue people yesterday to a meal. After all, these people really made an effort!

Now the child of the Xu family is still receiving treatment in the hospital, which requires a lot of money.

In addition, the Xu family has a single source of income. Apart from the work points they earn on a daily basis, the only thing they have that is worth some money is the black pig they raise at home!

If we eat all the black pigs to entertain all the men, women and children in the village, where will the money for the child's treatment and conditioning come from?

These words not only made Lao Xu suddenly realize, but also made Li Jingshen agree very much.

Old Xu listened to Jiang Guoli's words and decided not to invite all the men, women and children in the village to dinner. Instead, he just bowed to express his gratitude to the villagers who went to the river yesterday.

He also made a promise to everyone that if his family's conditions improved a little in the future, he would host a banquet for the elders and villagers to repay everyone's kindness to his children!

The villagers of Xiaoxi Village are not unreasonable people, and they don't necessarily have to eat this meal.

Everyone is relatively simple and kind, and they didn’t save people with the hope of getting rewards at the beginning!

Even the men who went into the river to save people refused Lao Xu's invitation.

As long as they saw that the child was fine, they were completely relieved!

As for whether to eat or not, we are all neighbors, so there is no need to be so polite.

The villagers also said that if Lao Xu's family had any difficulties, they must tell everyone.

Maybe everyone's family is relatively poor, but we can still donate some money and supplies!

Hearing the villagers' words, Lao Xu was so moved that tears filled his eyes and he almost knelt down in front of them.

"Lao Xu, since you've been busy all morning, why don't you stay for lunch? We don't have anything delicious at home, so just fill your stomach and we can have a drink too!"

After Lao Xu was busy thanking the villagers, he returned to Jiang Guoli. Jiang Guoli immediately took his arm and started talking with a smile.

Lao Xu wanted to refuse, but he couldn't resist Jiang Guoli's enthusiasm, so he nodded and said embarrassedly: "Look, I didn't bring you anything good, and I want to eat your meal for free..."

"Why is the pig's head not a good thing? Don't be so polite to me, just go in!"

Jiang Guoli pulled Lao Xu into the house, asked Zhang Cuiyun to cook, and then asked Jiang Shu to chat with Lao Xu.

He went to the next door and found Li Jingshen and Jiang Xue. He said to Li Jingshen, "Your father took the initiative and helped you reject the favor from the Xu family. You won't blame me, will you?"

Li Jingshen smiled helplessly and said quickly, "Dad, what are you talking about? I have to thank you for helping me decline this favor! What I did yesterday was just a piece of cake. How can I deserve such a thank you?"

"And the child is still in the hospital! If everything goes well and the child survives the crisis, I can breathe a sigh of relief. But if something happens to the child, even if the Xu family doesn't cause trouble for me, I will still feel guilty!"

At this point, he felt a bit scared again, and said with lingering fear: "And the most important point is that I performed a chest-opening emergency surgery in a hurry. If this matter is traced back, I will definitely be in big trouble!"

"If I dare to take credit now, I'll have to take responsibility if something goes wrong. So it's the right choice for me not to show up. This way, if something unexpected happens, as long as the Xu family doesn't pursue it, I won't be in any big trouble."

Jiang Guoli heard what Li Jingshen said and felt that what he said made a lot of sense. He sighed and said, "What you said makes sense. I helped you decline this favor for this reason. Everything has its pros and cons."

"Sometimes what you think is a good thing may very well bring disaster! Sometimes what you think is a bad thing may also bring some opportunities. As the saying goes, what goes around comes around..."

"Good fortune follows misfortune, and misfortune follows good fortune!" Li Jingshen added with a smile.

Jiang Guoli nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes! That's exactly what I meant. So, let's just deal with the Xu family's matter like this for now. It's best not to make a big deal about it, or else you'll be held responsible for any problems in the future."

Li Jing nodded in agreement and had to admire his father-in-law's careful consideration.

Actually, there is one more thing...

In this age of underdeveloped communications, some things can easily become distorted as they are passed on!

Often, after something is spread a hundred or eighty times, it is a million miles away from the real truth.

For example, when Li Jingshen opened his chest to save someone, he only made a cut to release the air in the pleural cavity!

But if this matter is allowed to spread widely, no one can guarantee how it will eventually spread.

Who knows, it is very likely that as the story spreads, it will turn into a story of him coming back to life or helping others get a heart transplant. This is unpredictable!

Medical technology in this era is very backward. In many rural areas, most rural people rely on various folk remedies to treat illnesses.

Even if there are hospitals or health centers in cities and towns, most rural people are reluctant to spend money on medical treatment.

Even if you are willing to spend money on treatment, it is difficult to identify the real cause of the disease with the medical facilities in today's hospitals.

If the story of his ability to cure diseases and save lives is spread in a demonized way enough, he will definitely be in a lot of trouble.

If everyone really thought he was a miracle doctor who could bring the dead back to life, who knows how many people would be blocking his door every day, and he wouldn't even be able to live a normal life.

And it would be fine if you could help cure the disease, but Li Jingshen is not a real doctor!

In his previous life, he was just a scientific researcher and had only a superficial understanding of medicine, not as good as a real doctor.

When the time comes, if you encounter some difficult and complicated diseases, he will not be able to cure them.
