The excitement of the competition was over, but the crowd seemed to be more excited to watch, so they were reluctant to leave. Finally, under the persuasion of the police, they dispersed.
Zhuang Sheng winked at Liu Ruonan, who then walked up to Zhao Hu and said to his wife, "Sister-in-law, don't be sad. Zhao Hu's injuries are just superficial. Let him come back with me and I'll give him some medicine."
The woman raised her head and looked at Liu Ruonan, her eye sockets were sunken, her cheeks were thin, and she kept sobbing.
"I just found out that this idiot actually did such a thing. My mother-in-law and I have both been in poor health. We've been suffering from strange diseases for years. We've sought medical treatment and medicine for years, but nothing can cure us. This idiot must have been fooled by that damn deputy manager! The deputy manager promised him some money, and he thought of treating my mother-in-law and me."
Zhao Hu's wife gasped, perhaps because she cried so hard that she almost passed out. Liu Ruonan quickly stroked her back to help her breathe.
"Comrade, my man is not a bad person. You must not let the police arrest him. He was confused for a moment." Zhao Hu's wife paused before continuing.
Liu Ruonan nodded repeatedly and said to Zhao Hu's wife, "Don't worry, no police will arrest him."
The mayor rushed over upon hearing the news. He didn't expect Liu Ruonan to do such a ridiculous thing. He had agreed to suppress it, but it seemed that he had overestimated this little girl.
I was furious and wanted to teach her a lesson. What's more, Zhuang Sheng was a soldier, and it was really unreasonable for him to allow such a thing to happen.
He peered through the crowd, taking in the scene before him, feeling deeply saddened. Had the lives of his fellow citizens become so difficult? He lived in the same city, yet he knew nothing about it.
As mayor, this was his responsibility. Now that he knew about it, there was no point in sitting back and doing nothing. He suppressed the heaviness in his heart, and, shielded by the crowd, he quietly turned and left. Now, he no longer had the heart to criticize Liu Ruonan and Zhuang Sheng.
Liu Ruonan said to Zhao Hu's wife, "Sister-in-law, please let Big Brother get up first! I'm a doctor. Let him come back with me. I can heal his injuries."
"Really?" Zhao Hu's wife looked at Liu Ruonan in disbelief.
Liu Ruonan nodded heavily.
"Why treat it? My injury will heal on its own. How can I afford to buy medicine?"
Zhao Hu spoke up and said that their family’s money had to be spent wisely, so how could he bear to spend the money on himself?
"Money is not a problem. I will treat your illness and you just work for me to pay off the debt." Liu Ruonan said.
As if by magic, the couple went to Liu Ruonan's shop with the help of Chen Lei and his group.
When Liu Ruonan came to the provincial capital, she brought some plasters for injuries. She thought Zhuang Sheng would always get injured while on duty in the army, so she prepared some. Unexpectedly, Zhuang Sheng didn't use them, but instead used them on Chen Lei.
The mayor did not take a car, but strolled on the street to calm himself down, and then asked Li Zhao to take care of Zhao Hu's affairs.
Li Zhao was very efficient in his work. Through various forces, he quickly found evidence of the deputy manager's corruption and bribery. He then submitted the evidence to the Ministry of Justice and began to investigate him.
Then, under the mayor's order, Li Zhao applied for bail for Zhao Hu's family. Such a difficult family, but such honest people, deserved a good outcome.
However, the application took time and might not be approved. So the mayor personally gave Li Zhao three hundred yuan and asked him to deliver it to Zhao Hu, saying that it was an application.
Li Zhao was a little hesitant. Despite his current position, the mayor was a truly honest man, often helping the needy. He wasn't exactly wealthy, and these three hundred yuan could easily cover his family's food expenses for a long time.
Seeing the mayor's serious expression, Li Zhao did not hesitate.
After Liu Ruonan learned about Zhao Hu's family situation, she took Zhao Hu's wife's pulse. After understanding her condition, she decided to treat her well. She also promised Zhao Hu that she would ask his mother to come over and take her pulse as well.
Zhao Hu was so excited that he almost knelt down.
Zhao Hu had immense respect for Chen Lei. During the conversation, he even acknowledged Chen Lei as his elder brother. Chen Lei was also a sincere man, so he happily agreed.
After some negotiations, I gained an unexpected favor.
Li Zhao arrived, explained the situation, and gave the money to Zhao Hu. Zhao Hu was so grateful that he couldn't help but kneel down, which surprised Li Zhao and made him feel embarrassed.
"Get up, get up. Don't kneel before me. You should thank the mayor. The mayor himself can barely make ends meet..." Li Zhao was in a hurry and realized that he had let the cat out of the bag, so he stopped talking immediately.
Zhao Hu looked at Li Zhao in surprise and asked, "Didn't you apply for relief funds?"
"Ah!" Li Zhao sighed helplessly, knowing that the matter could no longer be covered up, so he quickly explained, "It takes time to apply for relief funds, so it won't come so quickly. The mayor saw that you were in need, so he privately paid for it and asked me to send it to you."
"I can't accept this money." Zhao Hu quickly stuffed the money back into Li Zhao's hand. Li Zhao pushed it back again and said, "Since it's here, just accept it! When the relief funds come in, just let the mayor keep the money."
Zhao Hu was filled with emotion, sighing repeatedly, "Not only did we have a good mayor, we also met a kind family of my brother-in-law and his wife! Fortunately, we didn't make a big mistake!"
The world is full of warmth, and this was the first time that Zhao Hu's family experienced this. Because of his mother and daughter-in-law's illness, he borrowed money everywhere and owed a lot of money. Even if he worked outside, he would never be able to fill this hole.
Gradually, those people began to stay away from them as if they were avoiding the plague, and no one was willing to lend them money anymore.
This is a kind of luck for them!
Liu Ruonan looked at Zhuang Sheng with mixed feelings.
In her previous life, these things had not happened, and she had never met the mayor. Therefore, she did not understand.
But now it seems that the mayor is really a clean-handed person, which can be heard from what Li Zhao said.
Li Zhao finished his business and was about to leave when Liu Ruonan called him back. Li Zhao looked at Liu Ruonan and asked in confusion, "Is there anything else?"
"Let's have the mayor come over this afternoon for acupuncture! If this disease is to be cured, it's best not to disconnect it."
After hearing what Liu Ruonan said, Li Zhao patted his forehead and sighed helplessly: "Look, I've been distracted by all these messy things and have forgotten everything. I'll bring the mayor here this afternoon."
"Did you apply the plaster as required?" Liu Ruonan asked.
"Yes," Li Zhao replied. "The mayor said he felt much better, though he still had a headache."
