The beginning is a liar (7)
The second day He Hongtu returned from his hometown, He Hongtu took the child, took his wife and carried a portion of the gift box to each customer and target customer.
“Aunt Xu, this is a little thing I brought back from my hometown. It is not worth any money. It is something from my own family. You taste it, don’t dislike it!”
He Hongtu had a signature honest smile on his face and he talked to Aunt Xu graciously.
“Oh, this, how good is this!”
Aunt Xu knew that He Hongtu would come back again and guessed that he would bring some small gifts.
But she never expected that He Hongtu would bring so many things.
Well, although as He Hongtu himself said, most of the eggs, vegetables and fruits he brought were produced in his own land.
But, it does not mean that these gadgets are worthless.
As living conditions have improved, ordinary people have begun to pay attention to the quality of life.
And like Aunt Xu, who is so old and has surplus money in her hand, pay special attention to this.
What kind of mountain eggs, what kind of pollution-free vegetables… Their small country is not too far from the countryside. Some old people even pack a small tricycle and go directly to the countryside to buy some green, pure and natural meat, eggs, vegetables and fruits.
The round-trip travel expenses, the time consumed again and again, are really not cheap.
But even then, fakes are occasionally bought.
Are you really a farmer, you are all pristine?
Some people with bright minds, seeing that the people in the city care so much, they choose some small, dark-colored eggs to serve as mountain eggs and then deliberately let the old man and old lady at home carry a basket to the roadside of the village to set up a stall. .
They sold ordinary eggs for the price of mountain eggs but they also made customers feel that they were completely covered and bought genuine and good things!
Of course, the things in the supermarket are more fidelity but the prices are also more expensive.
Aunt Xu is still an old widowed wife. She doesn’t eat much alone. That’s why she chooses healthier and greener pollution-free foods every time.
These things were also bought in the supermarket, so Aunt Xu knew the value of these things.
Aunt Xu counted the things in the He Hongtu gift box with her eyes and roughly estimated that these things are worth seventy or eighty yuan.
Aunt Xu was going to give He Hongtu a gift package for the newborn baby left by her grandson. She originally felt that she had suffered a loss.
But now…this pile in front of her, plus the watermelon that others sent last time. Alas, she seems to owe it again.
“No, no, these things are very valuable, I can’t take them!”
Aunt Xu reminded herself again and again in her heart: Take advantage of small gains and suffer big losses. For no reason, why do people give you gifts?
“Aunt Xu, please accept it. During this period, I always call you. I have troubled you many times. My wife and I are very sorry!”
He Hongtu said this, with a touch of embarrassment on his honest face, “Speaking of which, we are here to visit you this time, and there is something I want to ask you for help—”
Aunt Xu’s smile is a bit stagnant!
It is here, finally!
Alas, this Xiao He, who she thought was a hospitable young man, turned out to be a liar.
Is this begging me to buy insurance, or persuading me to go to a gathering of health products?!
“Aunt Xu, I remember that when I called last time, you said that you have high blood pressure and you usually take medicine to control it?”
He Hongtu didn’t seem to see Aunt Xu becoming a little unnatural, but continued to ask diligently.
“Ah? Yes, I have high blood pressure but I always go to a regular hospital to ask the doctor to prescribe the medicine and then strictly follow the doctor’s advice, take the medicine on time and control it!” So, what kind of health care products can cure all diseases? Don’t sell it to me, I don’t need it!
He Hongtu deliberately applauded and nodded in agreement: “Yes, that’s right, you should be like you! If you are sick, you must go to a regular hospital and cooperate with the doctor for good treatment!”
Aunt Xu was confused by He Hongtu.
Have you guessed wrong, Xiao He doesn’t sell health products?
I heard that He Hongtu asked again: “Aunt Xu, are these medical expenses reimbursed by your unit, or are they planned as a whole?”
A few years ago, medical insurance began to reform but in their small county, many units are still in a state of alternating between the old and the new system.
Some units have all implemented social security and some units still implement the original reimbursement system.
“I have door rules!” Aunt Xu didn’t understand why He Hongtu asked these things.
However, He Hongtu soon gave the answer.
“Yes, there is a relative in my hometown who also has high blood pressure and needs to take antihypertensive drugs regularly.”
He Hongtu pretended to be sad and said: “But, Aunt Xu, you also know that in our rural areas, there is no insurance at all. If you are sick, you have to spend your own money whether you are hospitalized or taking medicine!”
“But our hometown, poor, those old people have lived through hard times and they are even more reluctant to spend money.”
“When you are sick, you will fight it hard. I really can’t fight it before I go to the hospital. But what can I do when I go to the hospital? You can’t just let the whole family drink northwest wind for an elderly person. In the end, you still have to take it home and wait. die!”
He Hongtu said that when he talked about the pitiful place, his voice choked.
“Alas, the conditions for rural medical insurance are indeed worse!”
Aunt Xu nodded sympathetically.
“So, I, I begged you. If you take your regular antihypertensive medicine, you can’t finish it, right? Can you give me a little bit of it to relatives in my hometown?”
He Hongtu lowered his voice, and said cautiously: “Of course, you can rest assured that although my third grandfather is a little poor, he can still spend half of the medicine money anyway!”
Aunt Xu took a moment to look at He Hongtu, and it took a long time to react.
“You, do you want me to ‘even’ my medicine to your relatives in your hometown?”
In the end, the relationship is not close enough. Aunt Xu was very scrupulous when she spoke and did not say the word “sell”.
But the meaning, she and He Hongtu both understand.
Aunt Xu was a bit repulsive at first, and felt that it was not good to do so.
But soon, she thought again: Her door regulations have a reimbursement threshold, 400 yuan.
In other words, her medical expenses must exceed 400 yuan, and the excess can be reimbursed in full.
Aunt Xu once calculated an account. The antihypertensive medicine she often took was 28 yuan per box. After the reimbursement, it was converted to more than four yuan, which was equivalent to a 20% discount.
However, I still spent my own money. Unlike the past, the unit can be reimbursed in full.
But, she said, if, according to Xiao He’s intention, she would “even” the medicine she could not finish with Xiao He’s fellow villagers. Even if it was only a 50% discount, she might not only be able to account for the four hundred dollars. It’s tied, maybe I can make some money.
Although I tried my best to tell myself that this was wrong, it was illegal, and it was a fraud, Aunt Xu couldn’t help but be moved…
