Chapter 878: Chapter 776 Go Buy Ten Pigs_2 Chapter 878: Chapter 776 Go Buy Ten Pigs_2 After finishing his shift, Li Guodong didn’t have to participate in any surgeries. He took two standardized training students and rode in the hospital’s dedicated vehicle to Nandu dical University to buy a pig, which was a serious task that demanded perfection.
The purchased pig had not only to be the right breed but its heart size also had to be roughly similar to that of Teng Xini’s heart.

Wandering around the hospital to familiarize himself with the environnt, Teng Shaokui found a relatively secluded spot and pulled up Boss Li’s number on his phone.
Boss Li was also from North Bridge County, from a township next to Teng Shaokui’s. He was a small-ti contractor—the quite small kind—with about a dozen workers under him, and he himself also had to participate in the labor.
It had been five years since Teng Shaokui had worked at a construction site with Boss Li. Teng Shaokui was strong, able to do the work of several n, and he also had a robust constitution, never missing work due to illness. He was honest and hardworking, taking on any dirty or exhausting task without complaint or grievance, just like an ox, which earned him significant appreciation from Boss Li.
Moreover, there was a ti when Boss Li had taken on a small project where the paynt for wages was delayed, causing the workers to strike and refuse to work. Yet, without their labor, Boss Li couldn’t collect the paynt due from his clients, leaving him frantically trying to resolve the situation. But the workers wouldn’t budge, and they all walked away.
At that mont, Teng Shaokui didn’t leave. He and Boss Li continued to work together until the installnt paynt from the clients was received, at which point the workers were called back to resu the project.
So, all things considered, Teng Shaokui and Boss Li shared so bond, which is why Teng Shaokui felt there was a chance of borrowing the money.
The house Teng Shaokui lived in now was built with the money he had earned on the construction site at that ti. Later, for various reasons, Teng Shaokui returned to his hotown.
He had heard that Boss Li was now in Guizhou, working on the construction of a highway and in desperate need of workers. However, that news was from two years ago, and he didn’t know whether the highway was completed or if workers were still needed.
He dialed the number, but the call wouldn’t go through, and it always showed as “busy.”
After trying for a full hour, still no luck, Teng Shaokui felt a chill in his heart; Boss Li was his greatest hope, the person most likely to lend him the money. There was little chance of borrowing from anyone else, including relatives and friends.
With Boss Li’s phone currently unreachable, Teng Shaokui sat in the hospital garden’s gazebo, evaluating each number in his phone’s contact list, feeling extrely blocked and uncomfortable.
On his side of the family, no one really had much money, and most wouldn’t lend any; those who might lend would perhaps give three to five thousand at most, which was already being as benevolent and righteous as one could expect.
As for his wife’s relatives, having his wife ask to borrow money was out of the question if they wanted her to get treated; it simply wasn’t going to happen.
What a predicant!
Even if the doctors were willing to go ahead with the surgery, they could only help delay for a few days; eventually, they would need to be paid back. Money! Where could he find the money?
People won’t die from being stopped up with feces and urine, but they can indeed be killed by a lack of money.
With nowhere else to turn, Teng Shaokui aimlessly wandered the hospital. After several rounds, he returned to the quiet spot and started flipping through his phone contact list again, trying Boss Li’s number once more.
Finnaly, the call connected, but the voice on the other end was a stranger who claid to not know Boss Li, then hung up with a string of curses.
With this lead gone, Shaokui’s panic began to set in. He wandered the hospital, lost and utterly without direction.
Desperation can lead one to drastic asures, and he even considered so ridiculous ideas. He had heard that contact numbers for selling kidneys could be found in hospital bathrooms, so he really went into the bathrooms, one by one, and even took note of the phone numbers scribbled on the back of the toilet doors.
But then he thought about it: these things were unreliable. All alone, with his daughter still in the hospital, what if he got scamd, lost a kidney, and didn’t get any money, or even worse, lost his life? What would beco of his daughter, his family?
Teng Shaokui discarded this absurd idea, and only when it was dark did he finally return to the ward.
Rushing back to the ward, Xini saw her father’s complexion wasn’t great: “Dad, are you okay?”
Teng Shaokui answered, “I’m fine, just a bit of diarrhea from the change in water and food. Don’t worry, I’ll get better on my own.”
“Dad, be careful, it’s cold with the air conditioning on at night, make sure you cover yourself with the blanket and don’t drink water randomly outside,” Xini cautioned her father like an adult.
“Don’t worry, I’m as tough as iron, it’s nothing serious,” Teng Shaokui nodded and said, his mind constantly calculating.
The surgery issue, Doctor had agreed to arrange it as soon as possible, but that was just a verbal agreent, without money, if they conducted the surgery and the patient absconded, wouldn’t the hospital suffer a huge loss? Teng Shaokui understood this much.
So, he had to find a way to get the money, later ask a few more people, find Boss Li’s new number, and hope to get in touch.
Then, relatives and friends, ask each one, borrow as much as possible, regarding the wife, whether it’s feasible or not, lay out the situation clearly, try as much as possible, without holding out too much hope.
The house at ho, see if it can be mortgaged, apply for a loan at the credit union, there are also so tea oil, rapeseed oil, and a store of rice grain at ho, everything like pigs, chickens, and ducks, sell them all, anyway the daughter’s illness must be treated.
Bankrupt the family, sell everything in sight, the illness must be cured, Teng Shaokui is that stubborn.

Li Guodong had already purchased ten pigs upon arriving at Nandu dical University, the animal departnt there was responsible for delivering them to the door, Li Guodong had set the ti and place with them, and ca back to report to Yang Ping.
“Professor, I asured with the surface ultrasound machine, the hearts are about the sa size as Teng Xini’s heart, the people there said they are pigs from the Tianpeng Project, the best experintal pigs nationwide, they asked if we’ll often need more? If we do, we can contact them anyti, all their pigs are now quality guaranteed, top breeds from the Tianpeng Project,” Li Guodong excitedly reported.
“Not bad, once the surgical instrunts arrive, we’ll start work, I’ve already got the room, you take a few students to set it up, you’ll mainly command, for moving stuff we have colleagues from the Logistics Departnt, just set it up like an operating room, go to the warehouse and pick an old operating bed, anyway you know, the things from the operating room, the patients’ surgeries can wait, delay it a little, wait for my notice,” Yang Ping instructed Li Guodong.
Li Guodong was very adaptable, knowing what to do, he took a few students to arrange the laboratory.
Ruixing was swift in action, Huang Jiahui had delivered the equipnt, although she had now been promoted to manager of Ruixing’s South China Region, she personally delivered the equipnt for Yang Ping’s surgery and was personally on site.
Having one’s own dical device company is beneficial, no need to ask others, draw a design, and a few days later, the device is delivered into the hands, fully packaged and sterilized.
“Professor, there are five sets in total, all sterilized, these are power Rotary Cutters.”
Yang Ping took out a power Rotary Cutter, opened the packaging, tore open the inner wrap and the sealed film, very good, he only designed the instrunt drawing and didn’t design the actual process, all these had to be done by the engineers.
“Professor, look, there’s a polyr material coating on this,” Huang Jiahui introduced.
Yang Ping gently touched the surface of the instrunt, “With these coatings, the instrunt is like wearing an invisible cloak, it won’t disrupt the echogenicity of the esophageal surface ultrasound and won’t create artifacts in the ultrasound image.”
“Engineer Chen has already done a lot of testing, under the ultrasound there are absolutely no artifacts, and the instrunt’s coating can be used about two thousand tis without any wear. Engineer Chen made a total of 9, with three different diaters and angles, based on different sizes and angles of the cutter heads,” Huang Jiahui explained.
Yang Ping was very satisfied with the instrunts and put them away, “Manager Huang, tell Engineer Chen, I’m very satisfied.”
Jiahui was very pleased, “Engineer Chen also said, based on your surgical approach, he wants to design an ion knife for intracardiac surgery for you to use, it would be better to use an ion knife for such surgeries in the future.”
“Performing myocardial ablation with a low-temperature ion knife in blood, while the heart is still beating, without stopping the circulation and not going on extracorporeal circulation, can produce bubbles. Bubbles can cause air embolism, and if we use an ion knife, it might be quite difficult to remove the bubbles. Tell Engineer Chen, when he has ti, he can also design an endoscope for use in intracardiac surgery and see how it can eliminate the effects of ‘red-out’,” Yang Ping also had many ideas but was not an engineer after all; so details had to be handled by engineers.
Jiahui was also very familiar with engineering technology, “Engineer Chen said he would find a way to eliminate the bubbles, but there wasn’t enough ti, and it would take a very long ti to technically achieve it, at least over a year.”
“There’s no rush, let him research it slowly, we will do the animal experint tomorrow, when the ti cos, you can co over and help,” Yang Ping directed.
Jiahui packed up the equipnt, “Dr. Song has already told , I will be there on ti.”
