Chapter 33 A small accident
Seeing the person leave, a hint of disappointment flashed in Su Nanzhi's eyes. She looked up and met Gu Xizhou's scrutinizing gaze.
"Thanks."
Although she didn't really need Gu Xizhou's help just now, Su Nanzhi still said thank you very politely.
Catching Su Nanzhi's somewhat disgusted look just now, Gu Xizhou almost laughed out of anger.
He was thanking me profusely just now, but now that he has no use for me, he seems to be disgusted with me.
"Doctor, please come and help bandage the wound."
Su Nanzhi's anxious voice brought Gu Xizhou back to his senses.
Okay, not that ungrateful.
The doctor quickly took Gu Xizhou to bandage his wound.
When Su Nanzhi came back after paying the fee, Gu Xizhou had already bandaged his wound.
There were two more people around Xu Jianian, a male police officer in uniform and an old man.
The old man was wearing patched clothes, with a hunched back, and was bending over and talking to Xu Jianian.
"Sister Nanzhi."
Hearing Xu Jianian's voice, the old man with his head down looked over and Su Nanzhi recognized the person at a glance.
It was Xu Jianian’s grandfather, Xu Wenshu.
Xu Wenshu is in his fifties, but because of his rough life, he looks like a man in his sixties. His hair is completely white and his face is full of wrinkles.
At this moment, his eyes were full of vigilance when he looked at Su Nanzhi.
A few days ago, Xu Wenshu heard from Xu Jianian that he had made a new friend, who treated him to a delicious meal and brought home two big meat buns.
But ever since something happened at home, their family has become very cautious. These days, he has been pressuring Xu Jianian not to run around.
I didn't expect that something would happen to Xu Jianian today because I wasn't watching him carefully.
Thinking of the police coming to his house and saying that Xu Jianian was in trouble and was in the hospital, Xu Wenshu's legs still felt a little weak even when he saw Xu Jianian at this moment.
If something really happened to Xu Jianian, the Xu family would be completely ruined.
Thinking of this, when he saw Su Nanzhi at this moment, the expression on her face was not very good.
Su Nanzhi understood his ugly expression very well. She stepped forward and bowed deeply to Xu Wenshu.
"Mr. Xu, I'm sorry. It's all because of me that Jianian's leg was injured."
"I'll cover Jianian's medical expenses and nutrition costs."
"I'm so sorry."
Su Nanzhi's words softened Xu Wenshu's expression a little.
He comes from a medical family and has been studying Chinese medicine since he was a child. Even if the hospital does not accept Xu Jianian, he can still cure his grandson.
But all this requires medicine, and his family situation obviously does not allow him to buy medicine.
Su Nanzhi's words alleviated his sense of urgency to some extent.
"Do you have money?"
But when he saw Su Nanzhi's clothes, he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
The clothes he wore were not much better than his, and the cost of hospitalization was not something that any family could afford.
Su Nanzhi was stunned. Just as she was about to speak, Gu Xizhou, who was sitting on the hospital bed next to her, spoke.
"If you need it, I can lend it to you first."
Su Nanzhi raised her eyebrows. Does she really look that poor?
Gu Xizhou didn't know that Su Nanzhi had advanced Qin Lie's allowance for the next few months. He just thought that Qin Lie would not give Su Nanzhi a lot of money, otherwise why would Su Nanzhi still wear so many patched clothes.
"I have money." Su Nanzhi patted her pockets and smiled broadly at Xu Jianian, who was looking at her with a worried look on his face. "And doesn't Jianian know that I might be making money?"
Xu Jianian thought about accompanying Su Nanzhi to put makeup on the bride today, and immediately nodded excitedly.
"Yes, Sister Nanzhi can make the bride look beautiful and make a lot of money."
At the end of his words, he covered his mouth and looked around vigilantly.
A dark light flashed in Gu Xizhou's eyes.
Every time when he thought Su Nanzhi was just an ordinary country girl, Su Nanzhi always managed to surprise him.
Just a country girl? Able to wear makeup?
Facing Gu Xizhou's thoughtful eyes, Su Nanzhi was very calm, "Poor people also have the right to love beauty."
She was not afraid of others doubting her, after all, no one thought she could be reborn.
"We won't be hospitalized." Xu Wenshu said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Su Nanzhi looked at Xu Wenshu.
The first thing she thought of was that Xu Wenshu, a Chinese medicine doctor, did not trust Western medicine, so she wanted to take Xu Jianian home for treatment herself.
But Su Nanzhi quickly thought of what Xu Wenshu said after she took Qin Lie to see Grandpa Xu in her previous life.
Traditional Chinese medicine is not as good as Western medicine in treating some diseases.
For example, orthopedics.
Western medicine is much better than traditional Chinese medicine in the early treatment of fractures, but when it comes to later care, the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine are obviously better than Western medicine.
Now Xu Jianian's fractured leg is obviously more suitable for Western medicine.
Thinking of something, Su Nanzhi said, "Mr. Xu, it's better to put a plaster on Jianian's leg. Let him stay in the hospital for a few days. Once he is stable, let Jianian go home."
Without giving Xu Wenshu a chance to refuse, Su Nanzhi continued, "I happen to be free during this period, so I can take care of Jianian."
Xu Wenshu moved his mouth, but in the end he said nothing. He just looked at Su Nanzhi deeply. After seeing her determined eyes, his eyes reddened and he nodded.
He needs to go to the streets and public toilets to clean up garbage every day. He only has an old wife with poor eyesight at home. If Xu Jianian is hospitalized, there will be no one at home to take care of him.
Now he just hopes that Su Nanzhi is trustworthy.
Seeing this, Su Nanzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
After the doctor saw Su Nanzhi's payment list, he immediately arranged for Xu Jianian to be put in a cast.
Because soldiers from nearby troops often suffered injuries and fractures, the orthopedic surgeons in the hospital were very skilled. Before Xu Jianian could react, his leg was already in a cast.
After the plaster was applied, Xu Jianian was sent to the ward.
Su Nanzhi looked at the ward getting closer and closer, and her face darkened slightly.
The nurse beside her saw her expression and said a little embarrassedly, "Comrade, I'm sorry, the other wards are full, and this is the only one left."
Seeing Su Nanzhi looking at her, she quickly added, "Don't listen to the rumors outside. Although there was indeed a small accident in this ward, we handled it cleanly."
Su Nanzhi: ...
Has this rumor spread so widely?
And what Xu Wenshu said next confirmed her thoughts.
"Did someone really poop a dozen times in a hospital hallway?"
Xu Wenshu looked incredulous, "The restroom in your hospital isn't far away, is it?"
The "culprit" Su Nanzhi didn't expect that ginger milk would be so powerful. After she gave Qin Lie the ginger milk, she didn't seem to care whether Qin Lie wanted to drink some more.
As they were talking, several people had already pushed Xu Jianian to the door of the ward.
Qin Lie, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, opened his eyes immediately.
