My neighbor Uncle Zhang has worked on construction sites for thirty years, and last year he was diagnosed with pneumoconiosis.

The contractor gave him 30,000 yuan, saying it was a full settlement.
Uncle Zhang accepted it.
His son was not convinced and wanted to sue.
Uncle Zhang said, "How much can we get if we win the lawsuit?"
His son said, "At least 300,000 yuan."
Uncle Zhang said, "How many years would that take?"
His son said, "Two or three years."
Uncle Zhang said, "Can I live for two or three years?"
His son was silent.
