Around 10 a.m., Li Yao used her spiritual power to "see" the jeep and bicycle at the alley entrance, knowing that railway leaders and hospital staff had arrived. She quickly took out a mirror to check her makeup.
Li Yao used fragrance-free cosmetics, which had no scent. She messed up her hair a bit, wet her forehead with water, and her lips were pale. Hmm, she looked like a patient.
Li Yao lay on the bed, waiting for the door to be knocked on. She listened to her second uncle exchanging pleasantries with the visitor. After a while, her own door was knocked on.
When Li Yao saw that it was someone from the hospital, a woman in her forties, she recognized her as Wang Dingxiang, the head of surgery at her mother's hospital.
Li Yao weakly said, "Go in."
Then he coughed weakly a few times.
When Wang Dingxiang saw the little girl lying on the bed, thin and weak with a pale face, she quickly came over and sat down by the bed to pat Li Yao's back and feed her some water. She said softly, "Yao Yao, I'm Aunt Wang, your mother's colleague. Do you remember me?"
Looking at Wang Dingxiang, Li Yao tried to get into character, her eyes welling up with tears, and said, "Yao Yao remembers, Aunt Wang, Mom said you were a very capable doctor."
Wang Dingxiang was taken aback when she heard Li Yao say that, and her eyes reddened. She thought of Li Yao's mother, Cui Molan, the woman who didn't utter a sound even when she was in surgery for 12 hours.
She stroked Li Yao's hair and said, "Good girl, you have to cheer up. You're still young, and you have a long road ahead of you. If you have any difficulties, just go to the hospital and find Auntie, okay?"
Tears welled up in Li Yao's eyes, and she nodded, saying in a tearful voice, "Okay, Auntie, Yao Yao remembers."
Wang Dingxiang originally intended to check on the child's illness, but now it seems that it is more likely a psychological issue. The child bursts into tears whenever someone mentions her mother, which is understandable, since both parents are gone.
She hadn't originally intended to tell the child about the compensation, but after the thought lingered in her mind, she decided to bring it up anyway. After all, her second uncle's family seemed to be doing well now, but who knew what the future held? It was better for the child to know what he needed to know.
Wang Dingxiang wiped away Li Yao's tears and whispered, "Yaoyao, listen to your aunt. The hospital leaders gave us 500 yuan in compensation for this incident, plus 182.5 yuan of your mother's salary. It's all in this envelope. You should keep this money safe and it's best to deposit it in the bank for future use when you go to school or look for a job, okay?"
Li Yao nodded and said, "Auntie, I understand. Thank you, Auntie and the hospital leaders."
Wang Dingxiang nodded. This child is a good one; he has a grateful heart.
As she was leaving, she hugged Li Yao and whispered in her ear, "Yao Yao, the railway gave you 1,000 yuan in compensation. Your second uncle has it. Remember, if you have any difficulties, go to the hospital and ask your aunt for help."
After Wang Dingxiang finished speaking, she tucked the blanket around Li Yao and left.
The railway bureau leader was an older man, and it wasn't convenient for a man to enter a girl's room. He just looked at Li Yao at the bedroom door and told her to go to the railway bureau to find Director Zhang if she had any difficulties. He was Li Yao's father's superior. He also told Li Yao to take good care of her health and go to school, and to make sure she finished high school.
Li Yao nodded weakly in thanks.
At the same time, she also understood why the original owner, Xiao Li Yao, was able to continue studying. It was very likely because this leader said this, and her second uncle's family did not dare to let her drop out of school. However, they dared to sell her as soon as she got her graduation certificate. Was it because her second aunt was bold or because this leader had something to do with her?
In this day and age, anything can happen to anyone, and life is uncertain from day to day.
