Chapter 34 Burning the bridge across the river
“Our hospital has this kind of splint in stock and there is no need to prepare it in advance,” the doctor said.
Wu Zhongyuan naturally heard the underlying meaning of the doctor's words. Hundreds of thousands was not a small amount, and the hospital wanted to receive the deposit before the operation.
"Okay, I'll raise the money," Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "Can you give me an accurate estimate, how much will I get?"
"One piece is about 150,000 yuan. It is difficult to fix it accurately with two pieces. It is best to use three pieces. There are other auxiliary expenses. You have to prepare 500,000 yuan." The doctor said.
"Fifty million, half a million..." Wu Zhongyuan muttered to himself, turned and left the doctor's office.
Back in the ward, Wu Zhongyuan called Zhao Lin out again. Lin Qingming was injured while protecting Zhao Dazhong, and Zhao Dazhong should have paid for the money.
After listening to what Wu Zhongyuan said, Zhao Lin took out her mobile phone and called Zhao Dazhong.
I thought Zhao Dazhong would immediately agree to take the money, but his attitude was strange. He was worried that there would be someone around Zhao Lin, so he asked her to answer the phone in a deserted place first.
Zhao Lin walked away, and Wu Zhongyuan could no longer hear what the two of them were saying on the phone.
Ten minutes later, Zhao Lin came back, her expression unnatural, revealing embarrassment and shame.
Just looking at her expression made Wu Zhongyuan feel cold, but he still had a glimmer of hope, "What did your father say?"
Zhao Lin didn't even have the courage to look Wu Zhongyuan in the eyes at this time, and said cowardly, "He asked me to go back right away."
"What do you mean?" Wu Zhongyuan was anxious. If Zhao Lin was asked to go back to get the money, she would never have this attitude and tone.
"Qingming killed two of them, and several others were seriously injured. The police are investigating. The lawyer said that we can't have much to do with Qingming now, and we can't have any financial transactions..." Zhao Lin's voice became smaller and smaller.
Wu Zhongyuan almost burst out of anger, but he resisted the urge to get angry immediately, "You can go back and get the cash, no one will know. You have plenty of money, and half a million is not much for you."
"Okay," Zhao Lin nodded reluctantly, "I'll go back and try."
"It's not about giving it a try, it's about getting the money back. We don't have that much money," Wu Zhongyuan said eagerly, "You have to be loyal. My brother was injured to protect your father. You must not leave him behind. in spite of."
"I just told my dad the same thing, and he said... forget it, I'll go back first." Zhao Lin turned around and wanted to leave.
Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly reached out to hold her, "Wait, what did your father say?"
"He...he said he didn't treat Qingming badly." Zhao Lin lowered her head.
Wu Zhongyuan naturally knew what Zhao Dazhong meant. Nowadays, ordinary workers only earn two to three thousand yuan a month, while Lin Qingming's salary is ten thousand yuan a month. This is what Zhao Dazhong said did not treat Lin Qingming badly.
"I understand the principle of using people's money to eliminate disasters, but my brother saved your father's life, and now it's like this, how can you ignore him?" Wu Zhongyuan said anxiously, "Besides, you are still my brother's daughter. friend……"
"That's not the case," Zhao Lin interrupted Wu Zhongyuan, "He and I are not who you think. Stop talking. I'll go back and find a solution."
"Whether it succeeds or not, you must give me an accurate answer before dark." Wu Zhongyuan gave his mobile phone number.
Zhao Lin took out her phone and wrote it down, "Then I'll go back first. If my dad is willing to pay, can Qingming's leg be cured?"
"Yes." Wu Zhongyuan lied.
He had already seen that the Zhao family wanted to burn bridges across the river. If Zhao Lin knew that she had spent so much money but could only save Lin Qingming's legs but could not walk on the ground, she would be even more discouraged and withdrawn.
Zhao Lin nodded and went back to the ward to say hello to Lin Qingming. She only said that she wanted to go back so that he could rest in peace and recover.
Lin Qingming said nothing and nodded calmly.
Wu Zhongyuan sent Zhao Lin downstairs with a heavy heart. Judging from Zhao Lin's performance, the chance of her getting the money was very slim.
Huang Ping had been sitting on the chair opposite the elevator. When she saw Wu Zhongyuan seeing Zhao Lin off, she stood up and wanted to talk to him.
At this time, Wang Xinran was also smoking in front of the window near the elevator. Wu Zhongyuan raised his hand to Huang Ping, indicating her to wait, then walked to the window and asked Wang Xinran for advice.
After listening to what Wu Zhongyuan said, Wang Xinran said, "This situation is a serious criminal case and involves many complicated legal provisions. In my opinion, he wants to shirk responsibility."
"Can't you?" Wu Zhongyuan was doubtful, "Everyone knows that my brother is his bodyguard. My brother killed someone to protect him. Even if he doesn't pay my brother's medical expenses, he can't ignore it."
"Haha," Wang Xinran laughed dryly, "I just said that things like this involve many complicated legal clauses. Did your senior brother sign a labor contract with him? Did the two parties have an employment relationship? He was the one who took the initiative when the incident happened. Whether you ask your senior brother for help or whether your senior brother takes the initiative to participate may affect the determination of responsibility."
"You can't be so despicable, right?" Wu Zhongyuan was extremely angry. Zhao Lin had just said that it was the lawyer who refused to allow Zhao Dazhong to pay, which meant that Zhao Dazhong's lawyer was trying to help him get out of guilt. If Zhao Dazhong was acquitted, Lin Qingming would naturally become the scapegoat.
"Is there anyone in the underworld who is not despicable?" Wang Xinran sneered contemptuously.
Wu Zhongyuan took a deep breath to calm down, "Do you think they are really not prepared to pay?"
"He will definitely not pay for the medical expenses in advance." Wang Xinran flicked the cigarette butt into the trash can. "Your senior brother has been admitted to the hospital for more than ten hours. If he had been willing to pay for the medical expenses, he would have sent the money long ago and would not have waited. You spoke."
"I still don't quite understand. Zhao Dazhong is the culprit in this matter. There is no way he can clear it up..."
Before Wu Zhongyuan could finish speaking, Wang Xinran interrupted him, "Who can prove that he is the culprit? He may just be the victim. How to determine the case not only depends on the investigation of the public security organs, but also depends on how the lawyers operate. Do you really think he is the culprit?" Do you think the law has no loopholes to exploit?”
"Fuck me." Wu Zhongyuan cursed angrily.
"It's useless to be angry. You don't have to wait until dark, they won't give you money. Let's find ways to raise money quickly." Wang Xinran said.
"You, you, you are so powerful, can you say hello to the police..." Wu Zhongyuan asked for help shamelessly.
"I can't help you with this. We will never interfere with judicial justice." Wang Xinran shook his head repeatedly.
"The key point is that it's not fair now. My brother is trying to help Zhao Dazhong..."
Wang Xinran interrupted Wu Zhongyuan again, "This needs facts and evidence to speak for itself."
Wu Zhongyuan said nothing more, and it was indeed a bit difficult for Wang Xinran to intervene in this matter.
Wang Xinran knew that Huang Ping was waiting for Wu Zhongyuan, so he nuzzled at Huang Ping, turned around and walked towards the corridor.
Wu Zhongyuan walked over and sat down next to Huang Ping, leaned back on the chair and sighed.
"How is it?" Huang Ping asked nervously.
"What?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
"How is Qingming's injury? How much does it cost?" Huang Ping asked.
Wu Zhongyuan did not answer Huang Ping's question, but asked casually, "Why are you here?"
"Someone called me and told me that Qingming was hospitalized here and there was no one to take care of her, so I came here," Huang Ping said.
"Who called you?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
"I don't know him, he's a man," Huang Ping shook her head, "I asked him who he was, but he didn't say anything."
"Where's the number?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.
"I don't have a mobile phone, so he called the factory number." Huang Ping said.
"What accent?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.
"It's not Mandarin, it should be someone from our place." Huang Ping said.
Wu Zhongyuan did not ask again. Not many people knew about Huang Ping's situation. This matter had nothing to do with Zhao Ying and others. It was most likely done by Zhao Dazhong and others. They called Huang Ping to ask her to come over and replace Zhao Lin. go back.
"Don't they want to pay?" Huang Ping asked in a low voice.
Wu Zhongyuan did not answer.
"I can talk to the factory director and get an advance on next month's salary," Huang Ping said.
The words "a drop in the bucket" came to Wu Zhongyuan's mind, but Huang Ping's words reminded him that when Wang Xinran comes back later, he can discuss it with her and agree to join them to see if he can get some money in advance.
"This mobile phone is for you. It lacks a memory card. You bought it and installed it." Wu Zhongyuan took out the mobile phone he bought before from his backpack and handed it to Huang Ping. "I'm on winter vacation. I can just watch it here. You can go back. .”
"I don't want it." Huang Ping pushed back.
"It's useless for me to keep it. It's not worth much money. You can keep it. It will be easier to find you in the future." Wu Zhongyuan thrust the phone into Huang Ping's hand.
Huang Ping held the phone anxiously, "Thank you then. I have already asked for leave from the factory. I'd better stay and take care of Qingming."
Wu Zhongyuan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. He had to find a way to raise money, and it was impossible to stay with Lin Qingming in the hospital all the time.
"Have you eaten?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
Before Huang Ping answered the call, Wu Zhongyuan's phone rang. When he took it out, he saw that it was Wan Shanhai.
After the call was connected, Wan Shanhai's voice came from the other end of the phone. He was weak and excited, and thanked him. He only said that thanks to the talisman he asked for, it was very effective. The old lady had carried it on his back for several days, and finally Feeling relieved, I must treat him to a good meal after school starts.
Wu Zhongyuan worked hard to deal with it, but in fact his mind was not on this. He was currently thinking about how to raise money, and he also thought about talking to Wan Shanhai. Wan Shanhai's family was relatively well-off and he should be able to borrow some.
But after hesitating until the end, he still felt embarrassed to say it.
After hanging up the phone, Wu Zhongyuan took out his wallet, counted a thousand and handed it to Huang Ping, "Take it first, go down and apply for a phone card, and then buy some things for hospital use."
Huang Ping answered it and took the elevator downstairs.
Wu Zhongyuan took his mobile phone and wanted to call Dean Wang, but he kept hesitating. He had no reason to ask Dean Wang to borrow money. In fact, it was not that he had no reason, but that he was not qualified. Why should he open his mouth to someone he met by chance.
If Lin Qingming is transferred to Huang County Hospital, the medical expenses should be saved a little. However, Director Wang has been targeted by Zhao Ying and others because he helped him test his blood. If he gets too close to him, wouldn't he be harmed? .
Just as he was feeling worried, Wang Xinran strolled back and said, "I just asked about the situation. Your senior brother is really loyal and tight-lipped. It will be very detrimental to him if this continues."
"Thank you." Wu Zhongyuan sighed and said shamelessly, "If I join you, can I get an advance on my salary?"
Wang Xinran also knew Wu Zhongyuan's situation and said harmoniously, "There has been no such precedent before. I have to ask for permission, but you'd better not have too much hope. Even if the superiors are willing to agree, they won't give you much. Also, the system Everything inside must go through procedures, and you can’t wait that long.”
"Forget it, it's better not to ask." Wu Zhongyuan shook his head and said.
"I suggest you follow the doctor's advice and don't act out of emotion." Wang Xinran said.
Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, stood up, and went to the ward.
Lin Qingming has a deposit of 40,000 yuan, plus the previous 60,000 yuan in demolition compensation, a total of 100,000 yuan.
Wu Zhongyuan had fifteen thousand on him, and there were some foreign currencies hidden in the woods. He checked and found that five thousand could be exchanged for thirty-five thousand, which added up to fifty thousand, which was still a shortfall of thirty-five thousand.
The two of them have no relatives or friends, so where can they get the three hundred and fifty thousand?
As the saying goes, a penny beats a hero, let alone so much money. Lin Qingming's condition cannot be delayed for too long, and it is best to have surgery immediately.
In desperation, Wu Zhongyuan came up with a plan. Zhao Ying and others had money, and he had Zhao Ying's contact information. If he contacted them and agreed to some of their conditions, he might be able to borrow money.
After thinking about it for a long time, I finally gave up the idea. The only way to get money from them was to exchange it myself. No, you can't seek medical treatment in a hurry or drink poison to quench your thirst. There will be endless troubles.
Wu Zhongyuan has never been so worried since he was a child. Although his life was difficult before, it was not at the end of his rope. Now Lin Qingming is waiting in the hospital bed for an operation, but he can't come up with the money. He is really desperate.
When a person is forced to a certain level, he cannot care about his face. Even if he was unwilling to do so, he still had to call Dean Wang.
The two counties are adjacent. Dean Wang knew the dean here and called the dean here. The other party promised to give Lin Qingming three splints at a price of 60,000 each, and he could perform surgery immediately.
The only thing Wu Zhongyuan could do at this time was to thank Dean Wang profusely, but after hanging up the phone, he began to worry again. Three or sixty-eight, he had to prepare at least two hundred thousand, and there was still fifty thousand left. Where could he get it?
For the first time in his life, he truly realized the importance of money. At this time, if anyone said in front of him that money can't buy love, health, happiness, and freedom, he would punch him. The other party is looking for teeth all over the place. Money is too damn important. Without money, you don’t even have dignity...
