Chapter 215 The First Time I Tried to Help My Neighbor, It Was a Big Surprise
It was another free day, of course it was just Luo Cheng who was free. The workers below are busy non-stop, and even Li Xiaotong in the infirmary is starting to get busy. The weather is cooling down, and many people are showing symptoms of colds.
There is no charge for medical treatment at the infirmary in the factory, but at most they charge some medicine. You can prescribe a few cold medicines, they cost 5 cents and 10 cents, and you can afford them even if you have a cold and feel uncomfortable.
When there was no infirmary before, minor colds and the like could be easily dealt with. But sometimes it’s just a cold, but you don’t pay attention to the details if you don’t fight it. The cold turns into a fever, but you still choose to fight it after the fever. If you don’t have a fever and can’t move, you are forced to spend money to go to the hospital. How can you afford it in ordinary times?
If a low fever turns into a high fever, it is considered life-threatening according to the current medical level. People with good health are generally fine. For older people with low immunity, it is normal for them to die from a high fever.
In the morning, Luo Cheng rested his legs on a stool and squinted for a long time. He felt that the office was a bit cramped and there was no sofa. Or come to a cubicle lounge with a bed or something.
After lunch, Luo Cheng said hello to Section Chief Liu and left the factory. I went to the library in the city and was really bored. Even reading some biographical books would help pass the boring time. You can also buy and read classics. He used to only read online novels, but he had never read any of the four major classics.
Books in the library can be borrowed and purchased. Most students like to borrow books here, mainly because they have no money. To borrow books, you need a library card, student ID or work ID. If you purchase books, you do not need a library card, but the purchaser's information will be registered.
Borrowing books may only cost a few cents a month, but books nowadays are not very cheap. A book is as cheap as 2 or 3 yuan, and as expensive as 5 or 6 yuan. Of course, there are more expensive ones, and some foreign books are still available. To be expensive.
After buying a few classics and a biography, Luo Cheng left the library. He went home and read a novel in bed. Even while lying in bed, Luo Cheng luxuriously burned charcoal to heat up the room.
Luo Cheng finally hid home this time, just to lie down and feel comfortable. When I greeted the human resources department, I always said that I was going to the library to look up information, not asking for leave or anything like that. I was driving by car. But it happened to be a coincidence. The neighbors in the yard where his car was parked could guess that he was at home.
A nearby neighbor's aunt came to ask for help. Her son was beaten yesterday, but she still insisted that he was fine last night. Today I found that I couldn't move in bed. I needed a cart to take me to the hospital and someone to push me. But at this point, where can I find help? Moreover, going to the hospital will cost a lot of money, so I have to ask my neighbors to borrow money.
Doesn't this mean that she has fallen in love with Luo Cheng who is in the courtyard, and the aunt obviously knows Luo Cheng's identity. She just goes into the courtyard and calls out that Director Luo is home.
Luo Cheng didn't like to visit, but he did know some uncles and aunties, but most of them came here to seduce people who wanted to get water from wells. When they met, they would chat a few words. Luo Cheng was really not impressed by the aunt who came to him and called him for help.
But if it's a nearby neighbor, it's okay to send someone to the hospital.
"Xiao Zhang, why did you come to Factory Director Luo? Didn't Uncle Liu go to help your family borrow a trolley?"
"Sister Wang, aren't I anxious to see my son in pain? Besides, the cart is borrowed and it's not easy to push. No one is home at this time."
Just when Luo Cheng was about to go and help his aunt, Aunt Wang on the other side came out and stopped him. The aunt named Xiao Zhang must have asked someone for help before, and they also went to help borrow a trolley, but this time they suddenly came to her again.
"It's okay, Aunt Wang. It's convenient for me to have a car. It's also cold today. It's better to take a car. Besides, it's getting dark quickly now. It's okay if I go and see you off."
When Aunt Wang saw Luo Cheng say this, there were some things she couldn't say in front of Mrs. Xiao Zhang. If it was just a gift, she would have no problem with it, but she knew Mr. Xiao Zhang's personality and family situation, so she came to Luo Cheng for help. He felt that this was not just a gift at all.
"Director Luo, in this case, I will ask the two of them to go with us. I think the son of Xiao Zhang's family is seriously injured. You may not be able to take care of him alone."
Aunt Wang said that although she had a bad opinion of Xiao Zhang, neighbors should not be too ruthless and not help when such things happen.
After hearing Aunt Wang's words, Mrs. Xiao Zhang looked a little unnatural, but she had no reason to refuse.
Soon, Aunt Wang called the two uncles to come over and follow Luo Cheng to help. Not only could she not move, she also had a fever. Several people carried the person into the car and covered him with a quilt. At this time, no matter whether the car was crowded or not, five people were taken to the hospital in one car.
When we arrived at the hospital, the people in the hospital thought it was serious and immediately arranged for doctors to start simple rescue. After infusion and testing, it was found that one of the ribs was broken, requiring surgery to create a steel plate. For surgery, family members are required to sign and pay.
The operation fee is more than 100, which must be paid first. It was an emergency just now, and the infusion and testing fees were not charged first. If an operation is required, if the amount is too large, the operation will not be performed first. Even if the money is not enough, at least pay a large portion.
Everyone was looking at Xiao Zhang, and so was Luo Cheng. If he was asked to send the other person back to get money, he would be obligated to do so. But Mrs. Xiao Zhang directly said that her family had no money and she only had a few dollars. I hope everyone can lend money to save her son's life. But more than one hundred yuan is a big sum of money in these years. Let’s not talk about whether you can take it out or not. If you have it, you can’t borrow it, let alone you don’t have it yet.
Mrs. Xiao Zhang looked at Luo Cheng. Even if she didn't say a word, everyone could see what she meant.
"Ms. Xiao Zhang, don't try to trick me, Factory Director Luo, for this matter. How many people in the neighborhood do your family owe, and how many people have you ever paid back? This is not a small sum. Just like your family, you will never be able to pay it back in your lifetime. "
"Sister Wang, you have also watched Aqiang grow up. You can't just die without saving him. Director Luo, can you save my son? I'll kneel down for you. First, lend me some money for the operation. Wait for me After your son gets well, he will definitely try his best to repay you."
As Xiao Zhang said this, he knelt down directly to Luo Cheng in front of everyone. Luo Cheng was confused. This was such a well-intentioned help. How can he have money? He received his monthly salary last month. Of course, when wages were paid a few days ago, he didn't go to collect the money, which meant that he paid back part of his wages. I can get about 20 days' salary this month, but that's only on the 28th of this month.
What's more, if I borrow more than 100 yuan, I will be poor for another month. What's more, according to Aunt Wang, what is Xiao Zhang's name? It seems that she still owes a lot of money to many people and has not paid back.
"You guys have discussed it, whether you have money to pay, or if you don't have money to pay, we will take the person away."
The nurses in the hospital said a little flatly that they had seen too many such things and sympathy was useless. Moreover, if such an injury is not treated, their hospital will not admit it. This is not a chronic disease. You can pay the hospitalization fee first and slowly raise the money.
It's a human life, and it will definitely not survive being taken away. Luo Cheng briefly asked about the process, who was responsible for the beating and whether he had been reported to the police. You have to ask the person who beat you to pay for treatment. Is it illegal to beat someone like this?
Upon questioning, Ms. Xiao Zhang actually didn’t know and didn’t call the police. The main reason was that her son didn’t feel so serious when he came back yesterday. If we had a fight, no one would care.
Come on, if Luo Cheng doesn't have the money now, this matter must be reported to the police. The Xiao Zhang family has no money, so they can still seek compensation from the attacker.
Luo Cheng walked to the nurse, pulled the other person aside, and asked if he could brush his face. He took out a "big guy" from his body, which shocked the nurse. The work certificate of the director of an automobile manufacturing plant, and the certificate that he is also a seventh-level engineer.
I asked him if he could make a simple guarantee and let the surgery be done first. Saving people was the most important thing. As for the money, give them a few days to gather it together. If they really can't give it, they can find him as a guarantor.
The nurse couldn't vouch for Luo Cheng like this, but she knew that as long as Luo Cheng's identity was true, she could just swipe her away, not to mention her face.
The nurse informed the medical director, who then almost trotted over. After confirming Luo Cheng's identity, it was called enthusiasm. Especially when Luo Cheng handed out the specially provided cigarettes, not to mention, the guarantee was just one sentence. And what a coincidence, the current Li Xiaotong in the factory actually worked here as a nurse before.
What else is there to say? Now that the factory is expanding, medical personnel will be needed sooner or later. If your hospital is short of jobs, arrange for two people to work in the automobile manufacturing plant. Although the factory's infirmary is simple and crude, the benefits are good and the work is easy.
Of course, when Luo Cheng was chatting with the director here, he asked Aunt Wang to report to the police, which Xiao Zhang would definitely not be able to afford. The attacker must be found, otherwise he will be trapped again this time.
I was polite to the medical director here for a while, which was considered a good relationship, and I felt that it was almost done. Luo Chengcheng took his people back, and Xiao Zhang naturally stayed with his son in the hospital.
On the way back, Luo Cheng learned about Xiao Zhang's situation from Aunt Wang. My husband died young and I have little education. It is not easy to raise a child. The jobs she works are casual jobs, which only cost about ten yuan a month. They are jobs that the street office found for her family out of pity.
But people are pitiful and hateful, and their character is not very good. He is strong and cannot suffer any losses. He usually doesn't have a good face to show off to others, but he is thick-skinned. When encountering difficulties, he opens his mouth to ask for help. Even if some people are not on good terms with her, they are kind-hearted and will just lend her a piece or two. But she really borrowed it based on her ability. Why should she pay it back? I asked if there was any difficulty. Of course it is true that there is none, but why would you borrow it if you are not old enough?
Her son didn't have a job either, so he was idle all day long. Fights were common, but he didn't expect it to be so serious this time. Anyway, it was Luo Cheng who lent this money to Xiao Zhang, so don't expect to get it back. Anyway, her reason for not paying you back is definitely more valid than your reason for asking for the money you owe her.
Damn it~~, if we can’t find the person who injured Xiao Zhang’s son, then I will die. Later generations helped people turn their BMWs into bicycles, but I was sending them to the hospital to drink the northwest wind. I am not a corrupt factory director, otherwise I would have been cheated if I had more than 100 people cheated. I am a good and honest factory director.
There was no one in the factory who didn't love him. Luo Cheng even realized that if he didn't have a partner, Xu Haitang's little girl would definitely have a crush on him. When talking to myself, I always like to be close to myself.
