Pan Shusheng walked into the room with his hands behind his back and spat at the door, "Pah, don't you even take a look? Do you have the capital to despise me?
Even though the cigarettes you smoke are better than mine, you are definitely not as good as me."
Yang Bailao heard this and shook his head with a smile, "Old Pan, go get a bucket of water."
Pan Shusheng obediently carried the bucket and went out.
When entering the factory, Yang Bailao discussed with Pan Shusheng, "Let's just say we are migrant workers from the countryside.
Otherwise, if people knew we were retired and doing this kind of work, we would be embarrassed.”
Pan Shusheng agreed with this statement. The reason he hid in this urban-rural fringe area was because he was afraid of meeting acquaintances.
At such an old age, I still have to go out to work, and I have to be a gatekeeper. I am really afraid of being laughed at when I think about it.
Two people lit the stove to cook. Since they were still on duty, they just cooked some noodles. After each of them ate a bowl, they began to patrol the workshop.
Yang Bailao said to Pan Shusheng, "Old Pan, you are spending a lot of money on your retirement salary plus the money you earn as a gatekeeper.
You should stop being so frugal and buy some good cigarettes."
Pan Shusheng shook his head and said, "Old Yang, you have saved enough money for your retirement, but I don't have a cent.
Let me build up some foundation first.
Anyway, I don't want to bother with those two country bumpkins."
Yang Bailao sighed, "I didn't expect that you, like me, can't rely on your children and have to take care of yourself in your old age."
Speaking of this, Pan Shusheng became even more upset.
Back then, Pan Shusheng had just retired and followed his wife to the city to pick up his grandson. He ate and lived at his son's house and didn't have to spend any money.
This also led him to overestimate the purchasing power of his retirement salary.
A few months ago, he went back to his hometown but was unlucky because he was not allowed to live in the dormitory building of his workplace.
Just renting a house in the county town cost him a lot of money.
Moreover, Cai Xiaofen, the one who was holding them back, actually came over as well.
Although Pan Shusheng has repeatedly cut down on expenses, he even changed the cigarettes he smoked to the kind that were lit at both ends and had no filters like those from ten years ago.
I stopped buying bottled wine and started drinking bulk corn wine, but it still didn't work.
All the food and daily necessities are spent every month without a penny left.
For the first time, Pan Shusheng realized that his pension was simply not enough to support his retirement.
If you get sick, you'll die.
That's why Pan Shusheng hated Cai Xiaofen even more, and hated her for giving all the money she had worked hard to earn to her daughter.
I also hate my daughter for being so greedy that she even has the nerve to ask for money!
It’s good enough if you don’t ask her to pay back the money!
Therefore, when Pan Shusheng heard that Yang Bailao was going out to continue working, he chose to follow him without hesitation and took the opportunity to get rid of Cai Xiaofen and her daughter.
When Li Qiumei received the call from the police station, she was completely stunned.
For a moment she suspected that she had heard wrongly.
Li Qiuxiang actually took the elderly couple Hu Lanying to find Cui Yingping to make trouble, and was arrested by the police station.
When Li Qiumei rushed to the police station, she found that there were many people standing in the yard of the police station.
She thought to herself, “Oh my god, are there so many people fighting today?”
Who knew that upon asking, it turned out that these people were brought here from the hospital and had fought with Li Qiuxiang and the others.
Li Qiumei glanced at Cui Yingping who was sitting in the mediation room. Dr. Cui had disheveled hair, his white coat was torn, and his face was bruised.
She had a sour face and looked like she wanted to keep away from strangers.
Seeing Li Qiumei staring at her, Cui Yingping rolled her eyes at her and said, "This woman is really too idle. She's everywhere."
Li Qiumei snorted, "Cui Yingping, you are really good to your sister.
For her, he was willing to sacrifice his own future and did all sorts of immoral things."
Cui Yingping said coldly, "I'm happy with it! What's it to you?"
Li Qiumei nodded and said, "Of course I will take care of it."
After admiring Dr. Cui's miserable appearance, Li Qiumei went to take a look in the next room.
Next door was the police office, where a male doctor in a white coat was describing what had happened.
This should be Cui Yingping’s colleague.
The elderly couple Li Qiuxiang and Hu Lanying, standing outside the door, looked as if nothing had happened.
Li Qiumei asked her sister, "What's going on?"
This was probably the first time Li Qiuxiang had come to such a place, and she was so scared that she couldn't speak clearly.
Hu Lanying told Li Qiumei, "Your father had a headache, so your sister brought us to the hospital for treatment, and we happened to hear this elder sister talking about selling a kidney.
After some inquiries, it turned out that the family that bought her son's kidney was Cui Yinghong's family.
Tell me, are the Cui family immoral? They wanted to kill Xiaopeng to buy a kidney for that sickly guy.
Now, Zhou Fugui is still in jail, and the Cui family is going to take advantage of this child again.
A sickly person is destroying so many people. Isn't the Cui family afraid of being struck by lightning?"
Li Qiumei looked at the young man standing next to her. He was dark and thin, no taller than 1.65 meters, and her age was impossible to guess.
He looks very honest.
Li Qiumei asked him, "Why do you want to sell your kidney?"
The young man scratched his head shyly. The middle-aged woman next to him had messy hair and a few scratches on her neck.
It seems this one also took part in the fight.
The middle-aged woman told Li Qiumei, “He is my nephew Ahua.
His father is my eldest brother. Half a year ago, he went to the mountain to graze cattle and rolled down the mountain, injuring his lumbar spine and became paralyzed in bed.
The family sold all the cattle and sheep and borrowed everything they could, but the disease still could not be cured.
There was really no other way, so the child had to follow the villagers out to work.
He heard that selling a kidney could make money, so he wanted to get some money to treat his father's illness.
He followed Brother Kun to get checked out, and to his surprise, they said they matched perfectly."
Li Qiumei was surprised. "Oh, so there is such a deal now."
She looked at the scene, "What about Brother Kun?"
Ah Hua's aunt glanced around and said, "Hey, where are the people?"
Ah Hua whispered, "He didn't follow."
The eldest aunt spat, "Bah, this bastard, he did such a wicked thing, I curse his ancestors for eight generations!"
She pulled Li Qiumei aside and continued to ramble, "Girl, we country folk don't have much culture.
I heard from Brother Kun that kidneys are like pig kidneys. Everyone has two, so it doesn't matter if you sell one.
Since my family really needed the money, I agreed.
Who knows it’s just a lie?”
Another middle-aged woman held the young man's hand tightly and said, "We don't want to sell it anymore."
She pointed at Hu Lanying and said, "Fortunately, this kind-hearted elder sister told us," If one of them were sold, my son would be ruined and would not live long.
The 30,000 yuan from selling a kidney wouldn't be enough to save his life."
The man in the white coat came out. When Li Qiumei saw his face clearly, she was stunned.
