The taxi suddenly lurched forward. The young man in the passenger seat, who had his right hand gripping the handrail and his left hand fastening his seatbelt, was startled by the sudden push.
"Thank you, driver! I thought you were going to break your promise and make me get off the bus!"
The driver was somewhat smug. "You know what, if that old lady hadn't seemed like an unreasonable person, and I was afraid she'd blame me if her child got hurt, I really would have taken them to the hospital first."
Of course, it's definitely not the municipal hospital they mentioned; that would be a detour and would make you miss your flight.
However, the provincial hospital is less than two kilometers ahead. Going there will not delay them from taking their child to see a doctor, nor will it take up too much of your time.
In our line of work, we don't earn much money. We leave early and return late every day, and we're always afraid of running into unreasonable people and getting into trouble.
It's not that I'm heartless or would stand by and watch someone die! This little baby is sick, and no one can say for sure whether it's mild or severe; even a common cold can be fatal.
If I'm unlucky and they really try to take advantage of me, I won't be able to afford to pay them back even if I go bankrupt!
I'm just a nobody with a modest income. Sometimes I want to express my style, but my abilities don't allow it. My whole family depends on me for their livelihood!
The young man nodded understandingly, "Well, I'm not heartless. I won't back down when my child is sick."
I'm really in a difficult position. I'm on official business, and if I delay my duties, I'll be fired.
My family relies on my salary to make a living. I have no choice; I'm forced into this situation. I don't have the means to help others, even if I wanted to!
Liu Lan and her daughter stared blankly as the taxi sped away, speechless and dumbfounded!
"What should I do? Oh God, who will save my child?" Liu Lan cried out loud!
Liu Lan's mother said, "Daughter, don't worry, I'll lie down in the road and flag down a car for you!"
As he spoke, he actually drove onto the fast lane, and a BYD car sped towards him from a distance, screeching to a halt.
The driver stuck his head out of the car and cursed, "You fucking want to die!"
If you're looking to die, don't crash into my car. Find a secluded place and hang yourself, jump into a river, slit your throat, or drink poison. What's wrong with that?
If you want to die, go somewhere else and don't drag others down with you! You damn old hag, if you want to make compensation for your son, don't try to cling to me!
Get lost! Don't you even open your eyes? Do you think you can fool me?
Liu Lan's mother was scolded so badly that she kept backing away, her heart pounding.
She stammered in her defense, "I wasn't trying to scam you. My child is sick, and I just wanted to flag down a car to take us to the hospital!"
I really didn't mean to stage an accident! Young man, please, please save my child!
I...I'm kneeling before you, please help me!
The old lady's legs went weak, and she knelt down, kowtowing repeatedly towards the front of the car.
The driver stormed out of the car, yelling, "Damn it, what's going on? We can't even move after stopping!"
Liu Lan quickly stepped forward, holding the child, and pleaded, "Brother, please, please help me!"
The baby is only a few months old and has a high fever. We waited for a long time but couldn't get a taxi.
Don't worry, we'll pay for it. Please save my child! You're clearly a kind person; good deeds are rewarded, you'll definitely become very wealthy in the future!
The driver was a typical burly Shandong man with a rather irritable temper, but a soft heart.
After Liu Lan and her son knelt and begged, their attitude softened considerably. Seeing the two women, still in the dark, holding their children and trying to stop cars on the street, they were indeed quite pitiful.
Moved by compassion, he waved his hand and said, "Get in the car. I'll do a good deed and take you to the hospital."
"Grandma, stop kneeling! Get in the car! Aren't you in a hurry now? I have things to do. After dropping you off, I have errands to run!"
Having experienced panic, anxiety, and despair, Liu Lan now sees a glimmer of hope and bursts into tears of joy.
Twenty minutes later, they finally got an appointment at the emergency room, where the child was examined and put on an IV drip.
Now we're just waiting for the test results to come out so we can see how the child's condition is and get him admitted to the hospital.
As the child's temperature gradually decreased under the treatment of doctors and nurses, Liu Lan finally felt a sense of relief.
According to the doctor's initial diagnosis, the child already has symptoms of pneumonia. Given that the child is premature, his physical condition is lower than that of a normal infant.
The doctor recommended hospitalization!
"Why go to the hospital? The fever started to go down as soon as we started the IV drip."
The hospital just wants us to spend more money!
In my opinion, we can just come to the outpatient clinic once a day for an IV drip. It's not a serious illness; every child has a fever at some point, and a few days of IV drips will cure it.”
"Stop nagging! Do you think you're the doctor? Duoduo was born prematurely, so her immune system is weak. If the doctor says she should be hospitalized, then she should be hospitalized!"
If my husband and I don't spend our money on our son, who will? Last night's ordeal scared me to death; I never want to go through that again!
Hospitalization is mandatory! We need to complete the admission procedures as soon as the hospital opens.
Pneumonia in infants and young children is already very dangerous, and I don't want my child to develop a serious illness. Please don't give me any bad advice.
Liu Lan was still worried, so she decided to have her son admitted to the hospital.
"Oh dear, Liu Lan, we forgot to inform Yu Hai. Duo Duo's hospitalization is such a big deal, we need to let Yu Hai make a decision."
Yu Hai was devastated when he received Liu Lan's call!
It's really like an evil spirit has struck! When it rains, it pours; why is it that his family keeps having bad luck and everything is going wrong?
My father is still hospitalized after being injured in a car accident, and my youngest son is hospitalized with pneumonia and a fever.
What's the deal with their family having some kind of karmic connection with the hospital? They've been contributing to the hospital's infrastructure development lately.
The couple spent all the money they had saved over the years, except for the down payment on their wedding and house, on hospital bills.
