After Shen Anyan bandaged her wound and came out, Zhao Yongshi came over and kept apologizing to her.
"Secretary Shen, I'm sorry I hurt you. I will definitely teach them a lesson when I get back."
All Shen Annian was thinking about was how to resolve this matter. What she had told Mrs. Ding, that she wanted to be used as an example, was true.
This is by no means an isolated case.
It is not difficult to get rid of poverty, but it is difficult to change people's mindsets.
But no matter how difficult it is, these things have to be done.
The living environment for lesbians is too harsh. They suffer unfair treatment from their original families. After getting married, they are beaten by their husbands and tortured by their mothers-in-law.
They are not ashamed of this; instead, they consider it an achievement that they can show off to others.
You can go to their place.
However, she had not yet come up with a specific solution to this matter, so she did not tell Zhao Yongshi anything.
She wanted to see the woman who had just given birth, and only then did she find out that her name was Li Sanhua and her husband's name was Zhao Shuisheng.
When they arrived at the delivery room, they saw the nurse reminding them to pay the bill.
Zhao Shuisheng's face flushed red, and even his eyes were dodging. He was speechless for a long time, and then he said: "Or...or should we be discharged from the hospital now?"
When the nurse heard his words, her face was full of disbelief.
Shen An Nian also looked at him in disbelief. He wondered if he knew the mother's current condition. Discharging her now might cost her life.
The nurse said more tactfully, "The mother's condition is still unstable, so we don't recommend her being discharged."
Zhao Shuisheng blushed and said to them, "We have no money. What can we do if we are not allowed to leave the hospital?"
Shen Annian was speechless.
He had no money, so he borrowed money to pay for his wife's medical treatment. What did he mean by telling the nurse this? Did he expect the nurse to say "you don't have to pay"?
Looking at the timid and cowardly man in front of him, Shen Annian recalled the scene he saw in Gaoshan Village.
This tall man was stopped by a skinny old woman.
If he had any sense of responsibility, he would not have watched his wife fall into danger.
But such an irresponsible man is still a husband and a father.
He's not qualified for either role.
Shen Annian took the payment slip from the nurse's hand. The hospital is not a charity hall. If the medical expenses are not paid, the hospital cannot prescribe medicine for the patient.
"I'll go pay the bill."
Zhao Yongshi became a little anxious, "How can this be possible? How can I let you pay?"
Shen Annian looked at the woman lying on the hospital bed, still being connected to the instrument. Was she going to let her watch the woman die?
"I can afford this."
When she turned around, she did not miss the smile on Zhao Shuisheng's face.
It looked like he felt he was getting a good deal by not having to pay any fees.
Shen Annian was completely speechless.
If the roles were reversed today and it was this kind of man lying in the hospital, she wouldn't even look at him.
But it was her female compatriots who were suffering, and she couldn't just ignore it.
Because the mother's condition was urgent, the medical expenses were quite high, costing almost 70 yuan.
Shen Annian didn't have that much money on her, only more than 50 yuan. She gave her work ID to the hospital and bought on credit.
Zhao Yongshi felt bad and apologized to her very embarrassedly, "Director Shen, I'm really sorry that I have to ask you to pay for it."
He came out in a hurry and had no money with him.
If he had money on him, he could have covered part of the cost and wouldn't have had to pawn Secretary Shen's work permit to the hospital.
Shen Annian looked at the red-faced male comrade and said in a serious tone: “Captain Zhao, I still have to criticize you for this matter.
Someone almost died, but you, the captain, weren't there. If we hadn't gone to the village today, two lives would have been lost."
Zhao Yongshi's expression turned serious. "Secretary Shen, you are right. I was negligent this time. I will definitely learn from my mistakes and will not let this happen again."
“It’s not enough for you to learn the lesson yourself, you also have to educate the villagers.
When human lives are at stake, everyone just watches as if nothing has happened, and no one dares to step forward to send the person to the hospital. How can this be acceptable?
And that old lady Ding, you guys are helpless just by throwing a tantrum. So from now on, whoever is more aggressive will be the most powerful, and no one will dare to control her anymore?"
Zhao Yongshi was so scolded by her that he almost broke out in a cold sweat. "Secretary Shen, I have remembered everything you said. I will reflect deeply on this when I return. I will educate myself when necessary and criticize when necessary. Please rest assured, leader."
Shen Annian's expression finally eased, and he asked, "Captain Zhao, can I trade some red dates with you?"
"No, no, there are plenty of red dates in the village. I'll send them to you tomorrow."
"No need for you to send me off. I'm going back to Gaoshan Village with you now."
Zhao Yongshi didn't expect her to ask for it so urgently, but he didn't say much and took her back to Gaoshan Village.
Shen Anyian pushed the cart and followed behind him, asking him for information.
For example, which husband treats his wife badly, or which mother-in-law likes to torture her.
Zhao Yongshi wanted to make amends, so he didn't hide anything and spoke in great detail.
By the time she arrived at Gaoshan Village, Shen An Nian had already thoroughly understood the situation in Gaoshan Village, and she also had a rough implementation plan in mind.
This was the first time Shen Annian went to Zhao Yongshi's home. His home was a mud brick house, which looked better than that of ordinary villagers, but his family was still poor.
He filled a basket of red dates for Shen Annian. Shen Annian didn't have a penny on him, so he could only come over later to give him the money.
