Chapter 252: Don’t forget your roots
Zhang Long began to run around, trying to find ways to raise medical expenses.
He looked for all his relatives and friends, but no one was willing to lend him money.
After all, one hundred thousand yuan is not a small sum, and Zhang Long's reputation has also been affected by previous events.
During this process, Zhang Long also deeply reflected on his own behavior.
He realized that his impulsiveness and violence not only hurt the old farmer and Cuicui, but also put himself in trouble.
He decided to change himself and stop being an impulsive person.
Cuicui stayed by her father's bedside, taking care of him carefully.
She prays every day, hoping her father will recover soon.
Her attitude towards Zhang Long also changed. She saw Zhang Long's efforts and changes, and she began to have some expectations for him.
However, as time went by, there was still no money to pay for the medical expenses.
Zhang Long felt more and more desperate and he didn't know what to do.
When he was at his wit's end, Zhang Long suddenly thought of Qi Tongwei.
He knew that Qi Tongwei was powerful and might be able to help him overcome the difficulties.
Zhang Long found Qi Tongwei with a nervous mood.
When Qi Tongwei saw Zhang Long, a hint of surprise appeared on his face.
Zhang Long eagerly told Qi Tongwei about the old farmer's illness and the difficulties he was facing, hoping that Qi Tongwei could lend a helping hand.
After listening to Zhang Long's narration, Qi Tongwei's face suddenly turned gloomy.
When he learned that the old farmer's illness was caused by Zhang Long's punch, anger suddenly burned in his heart.
He stood up suddenly and slapped Zhang Long hard in the face.
"You really don't know what you can do! Look at what you have done. If you hadn't caused all this mess, how could everything have turned out like this?" Qi Tongwei was furious, his voice echoing in the room.
Zhang Long was stunned by Qi Tongwei's slap. He covered his cheek, his eyes full of fear and guilt.
He knew he had made a big mistake, but he didn't expect Qi Tongwei to be so angry.
"Tongwei, I know I was wrong. I was too impulsive at that time and shouldn't have hit you. But I really have no other choice now. Please help me." Zhang Long pleaded.
Qi Tongwei looked at Zhang Long with disgust in his eyes.
"You are a scoundrel! Who do you think you are? What right do you have to hit someone? The old farmer worked so hard, but you hit him so hard. You still want me to help you? You are dreaming!"
Qi Tongwei's anger was not only because of Zhang Long's behavior, but also because he himself was also the result of a tragedy.
He remembered the hardships and helplessness he had experienced along the way, and the lives that had been distorted by power and desire.
He felt that Zhang Long was a man blinded by desire, and his behavior made him see the shadow of his past.
"Zhang Long, you've gone too far. Do you think you can do whatever you want? Do you think you can ignore other people's feelings just because you are rich and powerful? You are wrong. The world is not what you imagined." Qi Tongwei's voice was full of disappointment and anger.
Zhang Long lowered his head, not daring to look into Qi Tongwei's eyes.
He knew his behavior was unforgivable, but he really had no other choice.
He regretted his impulsiveness and the harm he had caused to Cuicui and the old farmer.
"Tongwei, I know I was wrong and I am willing to bear all the consequences. But please help us for Cuicui's sake. She has lost too much and I can't let her lose her father again." Zhang Long pleaded again.
Qi Tongwei was silent. He remembered Cuicui’s desperate look and felt a little reluctant.
He knew Cuicui was innocent and she shouldn't have to endure all this pain.
But he couldn't easily forgive Zhang Long's behavior.
"Zhang Long, I can help you this time, but you must promise me that you will never act impulsively again. You must treat Cuicui and the old farmer well and make up for the mistakes you have made." Qi Tongwei finally softened his heart.
Zhang Long was delighted after hearing what Qi Tongwei said.
He nodded and agreed quickly: "Tongwei, I will definitely do it. I will spend the rest of my life making up for my mistakes and let Cuicui and Grandpa live a happy life."
Qi Tongwei sighed. He knew that his decision might bring some trouble, but he also didn't want to see Cuicui fall into despair.
He decided to use his connections to raise medical expenses for the old farmer and arrange for the best doctor to treat him.
Soon, a group of highly skilled doctors were called together and they quickly began to treat the old farmer.
Various advanced medical equipment were also deployed, and the old farmer's ward was filled with a tense yet orderly atmosphere.
However, the news spread quickly and reached Liang Qunfeng's ears.
When Liang Qunfeng learned about it, he felt very uncomfortable on the spot.
He felt that the energy Qi Tongwei used belonged to his side. If it weren't for the fact that he was his father-in-law, he would not have been able to use these doctors at all.
Moreover, Liang Qunfeng has always believed that these doctors were for his use in the future when he is old, so why are they being used by Qi Tongwei now?
Liang Qunfeng was furious and immediately asked someone to find Qi Tongwei.
Qi Tongwei came in front of Liang Qunfeng, and before he could speak, Liang Qunfeng angrily scolded him: "Qi Tongwei, you really overestimate your own abilities! You are turning your elbow outward and leaning on an outsider. Do you know how precious the resources you have mobilized are?"
Qi Tongwei frowned and said in confusion: "Dad, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Why not help? The old farmers are desperate. We can't just stand by and watch them die."
Liang Qunfeng snorted coldly: "It's easy for you to say that. These connections and resources are what I have accumulated over the years. You are not allowed to use them at will. You should use these resources in more valuable places instead of for an insignificant old farmer."
Qi Tongwei argued: "Dad, how can the old farmer be insignificant? He is also a life, and his daughter Cuicui is so pitiful. We can't just sit there and do nothing. Moreover, I think as a person with a conscience, I should lend a helping hand when others need help."
Liang Qunfeng was so angry that his face turned blue: "You are too soft-hearted! Do you think this world can survive by being kind? You have to know that we are in this position, and every decision must take into account the interests and consequences. If you use my connections casually like this, it will bring us a lot of trouble."
Qi Tongwei also became excited: "Dad, I don't think this is a problem. We have the ability to help others, so why not do it? Are we going to watch the old farmer die? I am a farmer's son. I know how difficult it is for farmers. I can't forget my roots."
