Just then, a doctor came out and asked the nurse, "Why haven't you been taken to a ward yet? What's going on here?"

The nurse quickly replied, "I'll send it over right away!"

Zhao Hai stopped her, saying, "We haven't explained things clearly yet. Do you admit your mistake, old lady? Are you going to pay the medical expenses?"

Luo Jiaming said very seriously, "Comrade, don't worry, I'll definitely take it! You don't need to worry about my mother!"

Zhao Hujiang said, "Zhao Hai, don't be ridiculous. Your sister and Afen have said it's not their fault. Let them leave!"

Zhao Hai glared, seemingly wanting to get angry, but since it was his father speaking, he couldn't argue back, so he sighed and remained silent.

Zhao Hujiang said to Luo Jiaming, "Jiaming, take your mother to the ward!"

"Hey. Thank you, Uncle!"

Xiang Pengfei then left the emergency room with Huang Zijuan and the others.

Zhao Hujiang asked the doctor, "Doctor, how is my daughter?"

The doctor said, "Are you a family member of Zhao Rong?"

"right!"

"Zhao Rong's condition is not optimistic. Because the handlebar hit her spine, one of the vertebrae moved, which can be considered a spinal displacement. She needs surgery to adjust it in order to recover. Otherwise, she will be paralyzed in bed and unable to get up!"

"We need to have surgery! We need to have surgery!"

"Oh, if we need surgery, it will cost at least 100,000 yuan. We also need to buy some tools, such as a chainsaw, a cutting machine, an electric drill, a hammer, and a mortar!"

Upon hearing these words, Zhao Hujiang was stunned and asked, "Doctor, is this surgery or building a house?"

"For surgical use, of course!"

"What about these tools?"

"Oh, the chainsaw is a backup. The cutting machine is for the dislocated spine; we need to cut it, then apply cement, and then drill two holes in her back with a special material to fix it in place. The hammer and mortar are to prevent too much cement from getting in; we need to manually trim it off!" (Medical conditions were limited at the time, and this kind of thing happened frequently. I remember when my father was hospitalized, I saw a doctor drill holes in a person's skull with a power drill. The person was in excruciating pain, and the room was covered in blood. The person died on the spot. I'm just writing this down! Please don't take it too seriously!)

Is it that complicated?

"There's nothing we can do. Our medical resources are limited, and even our hospital can't do it. We need to bring in specialists from other hospitals, which is why the medical fees are high!"

"Oh, we understand, doctor!"

"So, are you going to do it or not?"

"Do!"

"Okay, then let's prepare the medical expenses! We'll go and get you a specialist, and also prepare a red envelope of five thousand yuan for you personally, without going through the hospital, understand?"

"good!"

The doctor then turned and went back to the ward.

Zhao Hai looked at Zhao Hujiang and said, "Dad, look at you, you let that old woman go. Where are we going to get the 100,000 yuan for medical expenses? My sister will have to suffer even more!"

Zhao Ping leaned against the wall and just kept crying.

Zhao Hujiang said sadly, "No matter how much money we have, we have to treat her! We can't let Rongrong spend the rest of her life lying in bed!"

"What about the money?"

"I have a plan. You two stay here and keep watch, I'm going to get the money!"

Zhao Hai watched his father turn and leave, saying, "It's getting dark, be careful on the road, Dad!"

"Okay!"

After Xiang Pengfei and Huang Zijuan accompanied Luo Jiaming to the ward and settled the old lady in, Xiang Pengfei said, "Sister Zijuan, I'll be going now! It's getting late, I have to go back!"

Huang Zijuan followed Xiang Pengfei out of the ward and said, "Pengfei, come with me to see my aunt! Then you can take me home, and I'll ride in your car!"

Xiang Pengfei said, "I've already sent dinner to my aunt and uncle, you don't need to go!"

"No way. Since I'm here, I have to go myself. What? You don't want to come with me?"

Xiang Pengfei dared not nod, and hurriedly waved his hands, saying, "No, no, you're my older sister, how could I dare? Besides, you're from the tax bureau, you're in charge of me!"

Huang Zijuan laughed and said angrily, "Bullshit, I'm your sister now. Don't bring up our work relationship. We're off work now. As long as you don't evade taxes, I can't be bothered with you!"

"Shall we go then? Let's go see the old folks!"

So the two of them went to Huang Ling's ward again. Zhuang Chaoying had also gotten into bed, one at each end of the bed with Huang Ling, ready to rest. When she saw that Xiang Pengfei had come with Huang Zijuan, she was very surprised and asked, "Why did you two come together?"

Xiang Pengfei quickly explained, "The old lady who hit the person is my sister's colleague!"

"Oh, so you're a colleague!"

Huang Ling looked at Huang Zijuan and said, "Is there no other relationship?"

Huang Zijuan blushed, afraid that her aunt would misunderstand, and quickly said, "No, absolutely not, Aunt, don't think too much! Luo Jiaming just reported for duty today, and the director asked me to look after him. It seems to be a relative of theirs. I received a call in my office near the end of the workday. It was from the hospital, saying that Luo Jiaming's mother had hit someone, so I brought him here and also came to see you!"

"You need to focus on your work, don't always worry about me, I'm fine!"

"Although I worry about you, my dad worries even more. So he often reminds me to come see you. Maybe it's because he's getting older, but his concern has intensified, so he's a little worried about you!"

"Oh, my dear older brother, he's so old, yet he still worries about me,"

"No matter how old my dad is, he's in good health! So you don't need to worry about him. Just focus on getting better and recover. You can visit him after you're discharged from the hospital!"

"Yeah! That's right, I'm afraid only I, the older brother, am worried about me, sigh!"

"Alright, since you're resting, we won't disturb you any longer. It's getting late, so we'll head back now. I'll come visit Auntie again when I have more time!"

"Go back! Get some rest!"

Huang Zijuan turned to Xiang Pengfei and said, "Let's go! Don't disturb my aunt's rest!"

"Okay, let's go!"

Huang Ling suddenly said to Xiang Pengfei, "Pengfei, wait a minute!"

"What's wrong, Auntie?"

"Go around to the corner and tell Tu Nan that our property certificate is in the small house. Tell him to be careful, I won't be home, so he doesn't lose it!"

Xiang Pengfei agreed with Huang Ling, saying, "Okay, I understand, Aunt. I'll tell him when I get back!"

After Xiang Pengfei finished speaking, he turned to his uncle and said, "Uncle, I'll see my sister Zijuan off first!"

"Okay! Let's go! Be careful on the road!"

Xiang Pengfei and Huang Zijuan left the ward, went to the hospital parking lot, got into their car, and headed outside.

On the way, Xiang Pengfei said, "Sister Zijuan, do you know what? My aunt almost didn't want to have the surgery today!"

Huang Zijuan asked in surprise, "Why? Her illness is very serious, why not have surgery?"

"Our family's financial situation doesn't allow it anymore!"

"It's okay, just tell my aunt I'll pay for her surgery!"

"No need, I've already paid for it and deposited it at the hospital. I hope she gets better soon!"

"Thank you, Pengfei. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me, and I can help you out, but tax evasion is absolutely unacceptable!"

"My dear sister! I'm not a tax evader, don't worry! The reason I'm telling you this isn't to complain, but to let you know that your aunt's family is going through a tough time. It's been a difficult time for them. Tu Nan and your aunt have been hospitalized for two consecutive days, and Xiao Ting is about to give birth. So, it's really not easy for them!"

"I know about this!"

"Shall I take you home first?"

"No, let's go to Aunt's house together! I want to see Xiaoting!"

"All right!"

The two quickly arrived at the alley. It was already dark, and the newsstands and breakfast shops were closed.

The two got out of the car and entered the alley.

However, when they entered the alley, they saw another figure on the opposite side, who had come to the attic where the movie theater tickets were sold.

Zhao Hujiang asked the staff sitting inside, "Where is Zhou Chengzhi?"

"I'm in the office, what's up? We're not open for business tonight!"

"I need to talk to him about something!"

"Then go in! You don't need to discuss it with me!"

Zhao Hujiang ignored the man and went straight into the cinema. He arrived at the office door and called out, "Zhou Chengzhi!"

Zhou Chengzhi, who was watching TV with Wu Shanshan, got up and went to the door when he heard someone call him. He opened the door and saw Zhao Hujiang. He said, "Deputy Factory Director Zhao, what brings you here?"
