Qian Qing was attracted by the crowd's screams and looked towards the bed at the back, but unexpectedly she saw Wan Zhenzhen's pale face.
Wan Zhenzhen was a little confused at this moment, the pain made her unable to distinguish the surrounding environment. Her mind was full of things from her past life and this life.
Qian Qing didn't know what to say now. Wan Zhenzhen was now so fat that she had lost her shape. Her belly was so big and protruding that it looked scary. I don't know if it was because she ate too much that she still hadn't given birth.
The doctor came quickly, took a look at Wan Zhenzhen's condition, and quickly pushed her into the operating room.
Old lady Wang walked into the ward with trembling little feet, and became anxious when she saw that Wan Zhenzhen was missing. She just went downstairs to buy some food for Wan Zhenzhen, so how could she disappear in just a moment?
The person in the next bed pointed to the operating room and said that the patient's water suddenly broke and then he was sent to the operating room.
Old Lady Wang shouted loudly: "My grandson!!"
He immediately dropped the food in his hand and ran to the operating room.
This scene made Wang Li's wife feel sympathetic. She clenched Qian Qing's arm tightly, her heart beating fast.
Giving birth is said to be easy, but when it really comes to this, you will realize that the pain is simply unbearable.
The contractions became more and more intense. Before Wan Zhenzhen came out, Wang Li's wife arrived and was pushed into the delivery room by the doctor.
Qian Qing saw Liu Dong off and sat at the door of the delivery room resigned to her fate. No matter whether Wang Li's wife's mother would come or not, she obviously could not leave.
After all, the pregnant woman has been sent to the delivery room, and it would be impolite not to wait for someone to come out.
Although Wang Li's wife gave birth earlier than expected, the birth went smoothly. A nurse came out soon after, just in time to catch up with Wang Li and his mother-in-law.
"Congratulations, it's a son, weighing 6.5 jin."
Wang Li was wearing work clothes and was at a loss as to what to do. Wang Li's wife's mother helped him pick up the child, her face full of joy.
"Six pounds and five ounces! Great, great!"
Wang Li held the tiny, soft baby in his arms, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
Looking at Qian Qing with great gratitude, he said: "Sister-in-law, I am so sorry for you today! If it weren't for you... Anyway, I thank you and Brother Hao!"
As he said this, he bowed deeply, and Qian Qing was so scared that she hurried to help him.
"It's just a small favor! No no no!"
Seeing other people's families arriving, Qian Qing also glanced at the newborn baby, then tactfully said goodbye and left.
Before leaving, I didn't see Wan Zhenzhen come out of the operating room.
After returning home, Qian Qing took a shower first, and then felt dazed for a while.
She had thought about having children before, but it was just a thought. Today, she found it a little scary.
Whether it was Wan Zhenzhen or Wang Li's wife, their faces were pale from the pain and their bodies were covered in sweat, as if they had just been pulled out of the water.
When I thought about the fact that I would have to go through the same thing, I suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Just as I was daydreaming, Zhou Hao came back from outside with half a roasted chicken in his hand. He bought it specially from a stall near the Polytechnic University.
Seeing that Qian Qing was in a trance, Zhou Hao hung the roast chicken in front of her for a while before Qian Qing saw him.
Zhou Hao: "...Wife, what's that look in your eyes?"
Qian Qing said unhappily: "You look at me like a pig."
She had to be pregnant for such a long time and give birth to a child in such pain, but Zhou Hao didn't have to endure all that. Just thinking about it made Qian Qing want to kick him.
Zhou Hao:……
***
Wan Zhenzhen's situation was not so good. She had a large baby and had a difficult birth. In addition, she was overdue. The doctor was worried when performing the operation on her.
Old Lady Wang was standing guard outside. The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. She recited the names of all the gods in her mind.
"Please, gods, bless my grandson and keep him safe. I will go to every temple I see and donate money wherever I go!"
Finally, after waiting for several hours, the nurse brought out a blanket, but did not give it to Mrs. Wang.
"Congratulations, it's a boy, weighing 8.12 pounds, but it was born too late, so the child will have to stay in an incubator for a few days."
Old lady Wang was first hit by a huge surprise: 8.12 pounds! ! A fat grandson! !
Later I heard the nurse say that the child would be put in an incubator. I was so happy but also worried.
"Why do you still need to live in an incubator?!"
"Your daughter-in-law ate too much during pregnancy, and the baby has high jaundice."
The nurse pointed to the next floor and said, "Hurry up and pay the bills for your daughter-in-law's surgery, the child's incubator, and the subsequent hospitalization expenses."
If Wang Hua was still an employee of the oil production plant, then this issue would not be involved, after all, the plant would reimburse part of the medical expenses of employees' families. But Wang Hua has resigned, so naturally Wan Zhenzhen can no longer enjoy this preferential treatment and can only bear the various expenses of the childbirth and surgery by herself.
Old Lady Wang agreed and took a reluctant look at her fat grandson who had just been born. Although his little face was a little yellow, Old Lady Wang loved him dearly.
In her heart, she couldn't help but blame Wan Zhenzhen. Look at what her grandson had become! Originally, it wouldn't have been a big deal if she only cared about food, but when her grandson had to live in an incubator right after he was born, this made Mrs. Wang feel dissatisfied with Wan Zhenzhen.
It wasn’t over yet. When she went downstairs to pay the bill, Old Lady Wang’s heart was bleeding.
"Five hundred and twelve!?!"
Mrs. Wang almost went crazy. Five hundred yuan?! Just for having a child?!
"You guys miscalculated! You must have miscalculated! How can my daughter-in-law charge 500 yuan just for giving birth to a child?"
The person who collected the money laid out the receipts.
"Look, Auntie, your daughter-in-law's surgery fee, the child's stay in the incubator, and the subsequent hospital stay and medicine costs add up to this amount! Why would I cheat you? I won't get any money from you."
Old Mrs. Wang had attended a blindness class in her early years and could read the words on the receipts clearly. She picked up the receipts and read them one by one with great concern.
The incubator costs 10 yuan a day, and the cost for 20 days is 200 yuan in total. Wan Zhenzhen's surgery cost 80 yuan, and she had to spend 100 yuan on IV drips and medications during her stay in the hospital. In addition, there were various other expenses such as medicine, materials, and beds. The total cost was more than 500 yuan.
Old Lady Wang was filled with sorrow: "Where can I get so much money?"
Wang Hua took all the money from the family out of the house, and the remaining one hundred yuan was spent. If Wan Zhenzhen had a normal delivery, it might have been enough. But this sudden incident did not even cover the medical expenses.
The nurse who collected the money looked helpless and said, "Then you go and raise some money."
If the factory workers cannot be paid for the time being, it is no big deal, they can just put it on the books and settle it at the end of the year. But who made this company without workers?
Since old lady Wang's husband is a martyr, the hospital can give him a reduction in his salary, but this reduction will never be given to Wan Zhenzhen.
Old Mrs. Wang got angry, sat down on the ground and started to scatter.
"I don't care! My daughter-in-law is admitted to your hospital, you should cure her!"
"If you doctors hadn't failed to take a good look at the situation, my grandson wouldn't have been put in an incubator right after he was born!"
…
Old lady Wang was so shameless. She had no money at home. Five hundred yuan was not a small amount, and it was difficult to borrow. What else could she do if she didn't make trouble?
The nurse was stunned to see Mrs. Wang being a scoundrel. She was talking nicely at first, but she turned around and started to make trouble. It was clear that she didn't want to pay and was ready to let the hospital pay for it.
She tried to persuade her a few times, but Old Lady Wang continued to make a fuss, each voice getting louder and louder, and even the noise around her could not drown it out.
The nurse had no choice but to ask the leader for help.
The gray-haired hospital leader also came to persuade her, but Mrs. Wang remained unmoved.
The nurse was anxious: "What should we do, leader? The mother is still in the operating room and the baby has just been sent to the incubator. Should we treat her or not?"
Leading a team of lawsuits is a huge headache.
We must treat the patient. Otherwise, why would we kick him out after admitting him? Not to mention the children, even the adults would be in danger. But if they don’t charge the patient after making such a fuss, what will happen to the hospital’s bill? Who will settle the bill?
"Treat him...Please persuade him to go to the ward. I'll go find the head of the women's department."
If anyone has a say in this matter, it's the director of the women's department. Since this family came here to give birth, they must have been employees of the factory before.
Problems that the hospital cannot solve can only be solved by the factory.
So, Li Hongmei, who had thought that she would not have to deal with Wan Zhenzhen after Wang Hua resigned, was invited to the hospital again.
Li Hongmei:……
After listening to the whole story, Li Hongmei thought for a moment and continued with what the hospital leader said: "Their husband is definitely not at home...but they can't owe the hospital money."
If this is opened, and everyone lives in the same compound, who knows if others will follow suit?
"How about this, they bought a storefront from the factory with a quota, the price is 400. They will go to the hospital first, and when their husband comes back, they will pay back the money, and then the factory will return the storefront to them."
This is also a compromise. If Wang Hua really doesn't pay back the money, then the storefront factory can be sold for 500 yuan easily.
The hospital leaders were helpless. What use did they have for a storefront? But there was really no better solution.
"Okay, let's just do it this way for now."
Li Hongmei took a deep breath, suppressed her impatience and went to talk to Old Lady Wang. Old Lady Wang was of course unwilling and started crying and making a fuss, but Li Hongmei didn't buy it.
"Anyway, it's like this. If you live in this hospital, you can mortgage the storefront. When Wang Hua comes back and pays off the hospital's debt, we'll be able to solve your problem. If you don't mortgage it, the factory will have to account for the house you're living in now."
In the first place, how could Wang Hua's family be so destitute? They had a storefront and many relatives and friends. Even if Old Lady Wang went out to borrow some money, it would be considered that she had good intentions. But she started to make trouble right away, and it was clear that she was unwilling to pay a penny.
Seeing that Li Hongmei was not buying it, Mrs. Wang cried and cursed Li Hongmei in her heart, thinking that when Wang Hua came back, she would ask Wang Hua to write an anonymous letter to report Li Hongmei!
What the hell is the women's director? She only makes things difficult for old women like her!
But that was something that could only be discussed after Wang Hua came back, so Old Lady Wang had no choice but to agree reluctantly.
After all, a daughter-in-law is nothing. What if something happens to the eldest grandson who doesn't live in the incubator?
