Chapter 228: Selling Blood for Compensation
The doctor's explanation was simply ignored.
Mao Dongzhu had already dialed the phone and cried, "Xiaoyu, your mother has cancer and won't live long. She is in the hospital now. Please come back soon..."
"Which hospital are you asking about?" Mao Dongzhu looked up and asked, "Which hospital is this?"
"This is Seoul Provincial People's Hospital. No, I didn't say you are..." The doctor wanted to defend himself.
But his voice was absolutely overwhelmed by Mao Dongzhu's wailing and could not be heard by anyone.
"Xiao Yu, come quickly, or you won't be able to see your mother for the last time..."
"No, your condition is not like that. I didn't say you had cancer..." The doctor wanted to make things clear.
Zhang Guoqing pulled him out and said, "Don't you want me to go to your office to talk? Come on, let's go to the office."
"But, but she..."
"Don't worry about her. She'll just complain to her son and everything will be fine after she's done."
Zhang Guoqing really understood Mao Dongzhu. After the call, Mao Dongzhu's tears dried up.
Turning back to see Deng Xiuzhen and Tan Yanlin, he curled his lips in disdain and said, "Go and borrow money for my medical treatment!"
"We, we can't borrow money. Our relatives think we are poor and have not allowed us to come to their house for a long time. We will go to sell blood tomorrow morning and give you whatever we can." Deng Xiuzhen nodded and bowed, keeping a very humble attitude.
"Guoqing! Guoqing! Where did this old man go?!" After shouting twice and no one responded, Mao Dongzhu started cursing.
"He went to the doctor's office." Deng Xiuzhen reminded in a low voice.
"Going to the office?" Mao Dongzhu got up and rushed out.
The speed made Deng Xiuzhen sigh: People who can make such noises must have a good physique and are more flexible than ordinary people!
Seeing Mao Dongzhu running out, Deng Xiuzhen looked at the police station and begged in a low voice: "Can we go out and get some water to drink?"
The police officer turned around and walked out with a serious face, pretending not to hear anything.
Deng Xiuzhen was stunned. Should he give in or not?
A young nurse came up and whispered, "You better leave now. That woman is not a good person. She will definitely blackmail you!"
Deng Xiuzhen looked over with a dull look in her eyes. People who have lived two lives may not necessarily become smarter, but their acting skills will improve.
The young nurse nodded vigorously. Fearing that she didn't understand, she leaned closer and pointed out: "The police station comrades left without even checking your ID card. They must have been fed up with that old woman's behavior and wanted to let you go."
Old woman? Deng Xiuzhen glanced at herself secretly. She was about the same age as Mao Dongzhu.
"Yes, thank you." Deng Xiuzhen pulled Tan Yanlin out.
The young nurse nodded excitedly, probably thinking that she had done a great thing, and her face was shining with pride.
After going out, Deng Xiuzhen turned right, turned a few corners, and then took a taxi to an alley. She knew there was a small privately-run hotel there, and there were also many restaurants not far away that were cheap and good.
Deng Xiuzhen chose this place because it is a small, cheap hotel and does not require ID registration.
Those who have money on them or young and beautiful girls dare not stay in this kind of hotel because the security is worse than that of big hotels.
But Deng Xiuzhen was not afraid. She was an old woman, with a silly man, and her clothes were dirty and torn. The clothes in her bag were cleaner, but still too old to be looked down upon.
Before leaving, she called Fang Mei and asked her to help her arrange accommodation. Then she packed all the valuables and mailed them to Fang Mei.
She would not run away, because she knew Mao Dongzhu's character, she would not make trouble easily. If she ran away, Mao Dongzhu would definitely go to the police station to find her out.
Train ticket purchases are registered, and they will be found out sooner or later. By then, Mao Dongzhu will know that she has some small assets and will definitely not let her go.
She came here to, first, take a good bath and rest, and second, have a good meal before continuing her performance.
Once Mao Dongzhu is completely convinced that there is nothing to be gained from her, she will naturally let her go.
As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat.
After finding a hotel and completing the check-in procedures, Deng Xiuzhen and Qin Yanlin both took a shower, washed their clothes, and hung them on the windowsill to dry.
Then he went out and found an inconspicuous snack bar to fill his stomach.
"Do you remember what I told you when you came out?" Deng Xiuzhen asked.
Tan Yanlin blinked his big eyes and looked at her, looking like an obedient child.
"Outside, I don't speak, and you don't have to speak either. Whatever I say is what it is. You can't say too much, you can't talk back, and you can't be disobedient. Do you remember?" Deng Xiuzhen reminded again.
"Remember!" Tan Yanlin nodded carefully.
In the evening, Deng Xiuzhen took Tan Yanlin back to the hospital.
Carefully serve a few steamed buns.
"What's that smell?" Mao Dongzhu frowned.
"Is it the smell on their bodies? It stinks!" Zhang Guoqing covered his mouth and nose.
"Get out of here quickly! It stinks so much!" Mao Dongzhu kept chasing him away.
"There is water in the hospital toilet, but you don't even know to go and wash yourself!" Zhang Guoqing waved his hands in disgust?
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Deng Xiuzhen put down the steamed bun and pulled Tan Yanlin out of the hospital.
I went back to the hotel, took a shower, changed clothes, and then went to bed to sleep peacefully.
Mao Dongzhu looked at the bag of steamed buns with disgust. Thinking of the two dirty and smelly people just now, he wanted to just throw it away, but his stomach growled a few times.
After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and picked up the bag and found that it was still hot.
He carefully opened the bag and found the steamed buns were white. He quickly washed his hands, handed two to Zhang Guoqing, grabbed two for himself and bit off a quarter of them in one bite.
The steamed buns are quite fragrant!
They both ate to their heart's content.
I had a good sleep at night and woke up feeling much more energetic in the morning.
Deng Xiuzhen discussed with her boss: "Put your things here first. We will go look for a job. If we find one, we will move out. If not, we will stay here tonight."
The boss was a business man, and although he looked down on the two poor fellows, they didn't owe him rent, and although their clothes were worn out, they were still clean and hygienic. So he still welcomed them warmly and agreed.
Deng Xiuzhen took Qin Yanlin to have a hearty breakfast, and then went for a stroll around Seoul's largest clothing and hair market: there was always something to do when she was free, and seeing Hanzheng Street in this era was something she had wanted to do for a long time.
Ask the price, try on the styles, listen to the bargaining, and occasionally stop to buy something to eat. It feels so good.
It was not until eleven o'clock that Deng Xiuzhen sprayed some dust and water on herself and Qin Yanlin, making them covered in dust, and then she took Qin Yanlin to the hospital.
The two men leaned against the door, rummaged and searched, and finally found a plastic bag.
I opened the plastic bag and found rags inside, with paper wrapped in two layers of rags...
It opened layer by layer, revealing a stack of ten-yuan bills inside.
Mao Dongzhu's eyes lit up, and he didn't care about the dirt or the smell, and grabbed the money.
Deng Xiuzhen stammered as she explained, "This is the money we earned from selling blood this morning..."
Mao Dongzhu looked back at them and had an idea in his mind: these two people are stupid, honest, and extremely poor, but they can sell blood to earn money for compensation!
