Thanks to everyone's donations, Jiang Xiaoju's medical expenses were paid, and there was more than enough.
Every time the nurse in the emergency department counted the money, she would put it in the drawer so that she could keep track of it.
The next day, accompanied by commune and brigade cadres, Jiang Xiaoju's mother Liu A Tiao and Tang Mazi rushed to Yuezhou People's Hospital.
The vicious old lady started wailing as soon as she entered the room: "Oh my, my poor daughter, why are you so depressed? How can I live like this~~~~"
If everyone didn't know her character in advance, they would have thought it was a happy ending with a loving mother and a filial son.
As soon as Tang Damazi walked into the emergency observation room, everyone gasped. Several young nurses hid behind the head nurse and didn't dare to look at him.
I saw that this man's face was no longer covered with pockmarks, but was full of pits and potholes like the surface of the moon. The key point was that he had no eyebrows. This made him look even scarier than the villain "Ji Chunhua".
Wanting to leave a good impression on everyone, Tang Mazi grinned, "Hey, Xiaoju, I'm here to take Xiaoju home."
It would be better if the villain didn't laugh at all. Wan Lu was so scared that she screamed and almost used the syringe in her hand as a dart to stab him into a hedgehog.
Director Du of the emergency department and head nurse He Juan stood by the bed and asked the old and ugly man and woman in front of them, "Are you Jiang Xiaoju's family members?"
Chen Xia stood behind and glanced at Jiang Xiaoju lying on the hospital bed. She saw that her whole body was shaking and she was trying hard to tuck her head into the quilt. She was obviously very scared.
Several commune and brigade cadres clearly disliked Liu A Tiao and Tang Mazi, standing aside with disgust on their faces, not saying a word. If the hospital hadn't called directly to curse them, they wouldn't have been willing to accompany them.
It is bad luck to keep company with such a family.
Liu A Tiao immediately stood up and wiped his nose and tears with his clothes.
"Yes, I'm Jiang Xiaoju's mother, and this is her husband. Oh, my silly daughter accidentally drank pesticide yesterday. She's so ignorant and has caused you trouble."
The emergency department had held an internal meeting a long time ago and decided to scare the family. It could be considered a test. After all, the emergency department is not a court and has no right to interfere in other people's family affairs.
Director Du asked, "You are the mother, you are her husband, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
"Ah, you're here just in time. Let me tell you, Jiang Xiaoju's condition is very grim. She drank pesticide, and by the time she was discovered and taken to the hospital, it was too late. Even if she were to be saved, she would be crippled. You should be mentally prepared."
Liu Aciao and Tang Mazi's faces changed drastically. They looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
The head nurse quickly responded, "Yesterday's emergency treatment cost 80 yuan, and the subsequent treatment costs will probably be no less than 400 yuan. If we want to save him, we must use the best medicines, many of which are imported. I say, who of you will pay the bill?"
"he!"
"she!"
The two of them spoke in unison, directly pointing at each other.
"Tang Mazi, Jiang Xiaoju is your wife. We agreed that we would owe each other nothing after we got married. Now she's dying. Shouldn't you pay for her medical expenses?"
"Bullshit, this bitch has only been married for a few days? She's been crying all day long, and this time she even drank pesticide. I think your family is a marriage scam, and you're asking me to pay for her medical expenses today? No way."
Liu Ah Tiao jumped up at once, slapped his thigh and started cursing:
"Tang Mazi, look at what you've done to my daughter. Maybe you injected the pesticide deliberately to silence her. The police and commune officials are here now. I'm going to report the case. Anyway, you have to pay for the medical expenses. I won't do anything about it."
"Okay, I'm going to report this to the police too. Your family is a marriage scam. I've always treated Xiaoju like a treasure. When have I ever hit her? Are you and your daughter colluding to defraud money? Oh well, no wonder you're getting married for the second time at such a young age."
In the emergency department, Liu A Tiao and Tang Mazi, the "mother-in-law and son-in-law", started pointing at each other's noses and cursing each other. Even the relatives of both sides joined in the cursing. For a while, the scene was more lively than a vegetable market.
Jiang Xiaoju was shaking on the hospital bed, and the young nurse Lin Chenxing held her hand and gave her encouragement and support.
Now the emergency department, oh no, the entire hospital has naturally become Jiang Xiaoju's backstage. Even the security department has dispatched security guards to maintain order on the scene. If the family members want to make trouble, they will be beaten up.
Director Du looked unhappy: "What's wrong with you? We are treating you, so it's only natural that you pay the medical expenses. If you don't pay, don't think we at the People's Hospital are so easy to talk to."
Chen Xia was trying to sow discord behind the scenes: "Family members, if you don't pay, we can't continue the rescue and she will die."
Yang A Tiao and Tang Mazi looked at each other again and shouted in unison: "We give up on treatment!"
Boom! There was an uproar at the scene.
The crowd of onlookers cursed, "How can this mother be so cruel? Is she a stepmother?"
"I think her husband is not a good guy. He has a bad face. Marrying him is really unlucky."
"Who says they aren't? This family is not good people. They are heartless and ungrateful. Which commune are they from?"
"Didn't I just say it? It's from Donghu Commune."
Several commune cadres became anxious when they heard this: "Hey, hey, this has nothing to do with our commune. There's nothing we can do. Liu A Tiao, Tang Mazi, if you refuse to pay, we won't care if the police arrest you."
Tang Mazi roared, "I'm not married to her. We haven't even obtained a marriage certificate. I don't acknowledge that I'm her husband. We have no relationship."
Everyone at the scene was stunned, and then suddenly realized: Jiang Xiaoju was only 17 years old and could not get a marriage certificate according to regulations.
Tang Mazi was pleased when he saw everyone's expressions. "Listen up everyone, Jiang Xiaoju and I are not husband and wife. Please help me serve as witnesses. Therefore, the medical expenses must be paid by the Jiang family. Let's go."
After saying that, regardless of how Liu A Tiao pulled and beat him, several relatives on their side slipped away as fast as they could.
The police were also scratching their heads. Putting aside the question of whether beating one's wife was illegal, Tang Mazi had no legal obligation to pay the money simply because there was no marriage certificate.
At this time, everyone turned their attention to the vicious old woman Liu A Tiao.
"I, I, I also don't recognize her as my daughter. Of course, a married woman is under the care of her husband's family. Anyway, I don't have any money, but I have my life."
After saying that, he sat down on the ground and immediately burst into tears, rolling around while crying.
Suddenly, a scream like a slaughtered pig rang out: "Which bastard just stepped on me?"
There were several footprints on her back and hands, and it was obvious that they were not left by the same person.
It was probably because the people at the scene were so angry that they kicked her a few times while she was rolling on the ground. Of course, no one would admit it, and the police pretended not to see it.
