The first thing upon returning to the Health Clinic was to settle up with Wang Zhenzhen. After seeing the extra money in the account, Wang Zhenzhen took back the expense list and let Du Heng off the hook.
As she did the bookkeeping, she asked Du Heng why the Township Government had paid so readily this time.
Du Heng was also wondering. Even now that the money was in hand, he was still wondering why Song Jiaying had been so swift to pay this time, and had even taken care of everything without him having to ask.
So, he couldn't answer Wang Zhenzhen's question because he didn't know the answer himself.
But it didn't matter. Whatever the reason, as long as they paid, that was all that mattered. The rest had nothing to do with his Health Clinic.
After finishing these chores, Du Heng went upstairs to relieve Wu Buwei. "Buwei, go study. Your exams are next week; time to buckle down. By the way, take Xiao Li with you and have him hit the books too."
