Chapter 124 The Scumbag Father Wants to Become a Monk (10)
By the time the doctor discovered that the payment hadn't been made and the family members had disappeared, Song Jianguo had already woken up.
He found that half of his body was numb and he couldn't move, so he immediately shouted.
"Mr. Song, don't panic. This is a neurological dysfunction caused by a cerebral infarction, which requires surgery. Where are your family members? How can they be so irresponsible!"
Family members?
Song Jianguo then remembered the incident where he had been beaten up earlier. He immediately gritted his teeth. Was this still his own sister? Her son had disrespected his elders, knocked him to the ground, and then abandoned him after taking him to the hospital.
"Mr. Song, please contact your family immediately. The surgery requires a family member's signature, and you haven't paid the fees yet."
There were quite a few patients in the ward, and they all came over. Song Jianguo, who was very concerned about his image, felt very embarrassed.
"Why are you rushing me? My son is a big boss. He's just a bit busy and doesn't know I'm in trouble yet. I'll have him come over right away."
He thought that he and his sister's family had fallen out, so he should let his son come. He couldn't just ignore his own father's hospitalization. Even if he was busy, he should at least pay the bills and hire a caregiver.
However, he also knew that his relationship with Changqing wasn't exactly good, so after thinking about it, he asked the doctor to make a phone call for him, citing his inconvenience with his hand.
He remembered the boy's number and immediately told the doctor.
Changqing accepted the call, but upon hearing that it concerned Song Jianguo, he showed no respect whatsoever.
“Song Jianguo? I don’t know him at all! He’s an old swindler who’s trying to cheat me out of my money. I’m still in litigation with him.”
The doctor was stunned when he heard this. He thought that the father and son had had some kind of conflict and couldn't help but try to comfort them.
"Mr. Song, you..."
"Excuse me, my surname isn't Song, it's Li."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
The doctor's face darkened. "Mr. Song, do you have any other relatives?"
As a doctor, he felt uncomfortable criticizing a patient's character and didn't want to comment on whether the patient was a fraudster.
But clearly, he was getting impatient. Not to mention the uncooperative family members, it was even more terrifying if there were no family members at all. They didn't pay the money and no one took care of them. Did they expect the hospital to provide them with food and lodging?
Song Jianguo was shocked that Changqing was so ruthless. He lost face and immediately snorted.
“My son is very busy, so you should speak to him more politely. Never mind, I'll make the call myself.”
He shakily took out his phone and dialed the number, only to be met with a busy message.
He's busy.
Song Jianguo looked at the doctor awkwardly.
The doctor frowned, picked up his phone and dialed again, and the call connected.
"You've been blocked."
He was speechless.
In the ward, the other patients almost burst out laughing, which made Song Jianguo so embarrassed that he wished he could disappear into the ground.
"Song Changqing! You may not acknowledge me, but legally you have an obligation to take care of me. Get your ass to the hospital right now!"
Song Jianguo took the doctor's phone, his neck veins bulging, and roared at the top of his lungs.
Only a soft laugh came from the other end of the phone.
"Then let the law decide for me, you damn liar. If you harass me again, I'll call the police."
"Also, think carefully about how you ended up in the hospital and who should be held responsible!"
Snap!
After saying that, the phone call ended again.
However, a few words from Changqing's words caught Song Jianguo's attention—
Call the police; they will take responsibility.
right!
You should call the police. Zhao Gong injured you, so he should not only be responsible for your medical expenses but also for your emotional distress.
"Call the police! Doctor, I need to call the police! I was assaulted, and someone should be held responsible!"
He said urgently.
......
When the police came to their door, not only was Zhao Gong stunned, but his aunt was also dumbfounded.
Did Song Jianguo call the police?
no.
We're all family, why did you call the police?!
"Officer, Song Jianguo is my younger brother. It's just a family dispute. There's no need to arrest him, is there?"
The aunt quickly stepped forward to explain.
The police officer frowned. "You shouldn't have just left him at the hospital."
"No, no!" Uncle quickly stepped forward as well. "We took him to the hospital, but we didn't have enough money, so we came back to raise some. Besides, we already contacted a caregiver before we left."
He turned around and slapped Zhao Gong.
"How did you arrange this! Hasn't the caregiver arrived yet?"
Zhao Gong was taken aback, then realized what he meant. "I... I don't know either. We've already agreed on this. I'll urge them again!"
"Alright, alright, let's hurry to the hospital."
The eldest aunt also pretended to be about to leave.
Let me explain the specifics first.
The police officer impatiently interrupted their performance and pulled out a notebook and pen.
The aunt quickly recounted what had happened. The story was simple: the child's uncle was visiting and invited many Buddhist laypeople to chant sutras and worship Buddha. The son couldn't stand it and a conflict arose. He pushed the boy, fell down, and was taken to the hospital.
The policeman nodded after listening.
This is largely consistent with Song Jianguo's description; it was purely a family conflict and did not involve intentional harm.
However, those who are responsible must still take responsibility.
"Alright, let's go to the hospital. Mediation is the main thing."
The group arrived at the hospital.
Song Jianguo's request was very simple.
Pay all expenses, plus hire two caregivers.
He dared not let that family take care of him now; it was more reliable for them to pay for a caregiver.
In front of the police, the aunt didn't dare to say much. She was really afraid that Song Jianguo would sue her son for intentional injury, which wouldn't be resolved by paying compensation; he would also have to go to jail.
"Jianguo, don't worry, your sister will definitely not abandon you."
The eldest aunt held Song Jianguo's hand and publicly displayed their deep sibling affection.
Song Jianguo's lips twitched.
"Pay the money first, then arrange for a caregiver, and you can leave."
If he hadn't called the police, this family wouldn't have come. He's seen through it all now; what family ties? It's all nonsense.
But he is sick now.
It just so happens that it's related to the punch Zhao Gong gave him; this is something his whole family can't escape.
Haha, once the court judgment is finalized, he'll make his son pay a huge sum for his retirement. At that time, his family won't be able to get a single penny. He's already decided that he wants to keep the money firmly in his own hands!
The aunt's expression froze.
She turned around and pinched her uncle.
"Hurry up and pay the bill!"
