After hearing Chen Yufeng's purpose, Ding Ermei exclaimed, "Impossible, absolutely impossible! My Xiaocui just had surgery last night for 120 yuan, how could she be dying already?"
Zhou Fugui remained silent with a sullen face.
Zhou Fugui was already troubled enough by Zhou Bingqiang's arrest. Whether Ding Xiaocui lived or died was of no concern to him.
"Uncle Fugui, Aunt Ding, that's what the hospital said on the phone. I don't know if it's true or not. You should go to the hospital and see for yourselves." Chen Yufeng didn't want to hear Ding Ermei scream, so she left after saying that.
After Zhou Dazhu and Tian Shanhua were arrested, Zhoujia Village was unsealed.
Zhoujia Village is not far from the hospital, only about a 20-minute walk away.
"Sister, wait for me." Chen Jinfeng hurriedly followed.
Chen Jinfeng thought Chen Yufeng was smart and wanted to hear Chen Yufeng's opinion on what to do next.
"Old man, what should we do? Should we go to the hospital now, or should we ask someone to call my family?" Ding Ermei asked Zhou Fugui.
According to the custom in Zhoujia Village, if a daughter-in-law is seriously ill, her husband's family must send a message to her family.
"Let's go to the hospital first! Let's call Bingxing to come along," Zhou Fugui said after thinking for a moment.
Zhou Fugui was very annoyed.
If anything were to happen to Ding Xiaocui, the Ding family might cause a scene.
Zhou Bingxing isn't good with his mouth; if the Ding family makes a scene, he might just reveal the gold bars.
Zhou Fugui planned to go to town with Ding Ermei first, and then find a chance to sneak away.
We really can't stay in Zhoujiacun any longer.
The poison in Zhou Bingxing's body will definitely take effect in a few days.
It would be strange if Tian Shanhua didn't become suspicious at that time.
As soon as he arrived in town, Zhou Fugui made an excuse to leave Ding Ermei.
Zhou Fugui said he would try to find someone he knew to help Zhou Bingqiang.
What could Ding Ermei do? She had no choice but to agree.
When Ding Ermei and Zhou Bingxing arrived at the hospital, Ding Xiaocui was already having some difficulty speaking.
"Bingxing, take me...take me home, I...I don't want to...die out there," Ding Xiaocui pleaded, grabbing Zhou Bingxing's hand.
There's a saying in Peach Blossom Town: people who die at home will be reborn into a better family in their next life.
Ding Xiaocui deeply regretted instigating Zhou Bingxing to steal the gold bars, which led to this disaster.
Ding Xiaocui wanted to go home.
This life is destined to end, and Ding Xiaocui hopes that she can live a more relaxed life in her next life.
“Okay, Xiao Cui, I’ll take you home right away.” Zhou Bingxing burst into tears.
"No, we can't go back like this." Ding Ermei stopped Zhou Bingxing from carrying Ding Xiaocui on his back.
"Mom, Xiao Cui only has this one wish, let's grant it!" Zhou Bingxing pleaded.
“Bingxing, don’t be foolish. Xiaocui clearly died because the hospital delayed her treatment. We need to get justice from the hospital,” Ding Ermei said.
After Ding Ermei was admitted to the hospital, she went to ask around about the situation.
Upon learning that the hospital had not scheduled any treatment for Ding Xiaocui today, Ding Ermei's spirits immediately lifted.
"Seek justice?" Zhou Bingxing didn't understand.
"Since Xiao Cui is going to die anyway, we might as well..." Ding Ermei whispered a bunch of things in Zhou Bingxing's ear.
After pondering for a while, Zhou Bingxing slowly nodded.
“It’s good that you can understand. Xiao Cui is dead, but you and the children still have to live your lives!” Ding Ermei smiled broadly.
After Ding Ermei and Zhou Bingxing reached an agreement, the two ignored Ding Xiaocui lying on the hospital bed and rushed to the dean's office.
As soon as she entered the door, Ding Ermei plopped down on the ground, slapped her thighs, and started wailing.
"Boss! You have to stand up for me!"
"Your doctors are so irresponsible! My little Cui died so unjustly!"
"Xiao Cui is dead, and this old woman doesn't want to live anymore! Ahhh~! Let this old woman die too!"
······
Zhou Bingxing, along with Ding Ermei, stood aside wiping away tears.
Seeing Ding Ermei's posture, Dean Zhang secretly thought to himself that things were not going well.
Did a medical accident happen at their hospital today?
How come he didn't hear about it?
Thinking of this, Dean Zhang hurriedly bent down to help Ding Ermei up, saying, "Comrade, get up quickly, let's talk things over."
"Boss, this is what happened..." Ding Ermei rattled off the details of what had happened.
Of course, Ding Ermei would only say what was in their favor.
She left the hospital because nurse Huang Xiaoyan wouldn't allow her to bring her child into the ward. She had no choice but to leave the hospital and send her child back to the village.
As luck would have it, the police station was investigating a case today, and Zhoujia Village was sealed off, which is why Ding Ermei and Zhou Bingxing were unable to get back to the hospital in time to pay their hospital fees.
The hospital refused to administer medication to Ding Xiaocui because she hadn't paid her hospitalization fees, which led to Ding Xiaocui's poisoning. This is the hospital's responsibility.
A living person was lost just like that, and Ding Ermei and her family couldn't bear it.
After listening to Ding Ermei's explanation, Dean Zhang's mind was completely blank.
Pay first, then receive treatment – this is a new rule that Director Zhang just announced this year.
If what Ding Ermei said is true, and Ding Ermei was delayed in returning to the hospital, then the hospital, knowing Ding Xiaocui's condition, would bear a significant responsibility for not administering medication.
Dean Zhang, the one who formulated the new regulations, will certainly be criticized by higher authorities. He might even lose his position as dean because of this medical malpractice incident.
"Comrade, here's what we'll do. You take your daughter-in-law home first, and I'll start an investigation right away. If it's our hospital's responsibility, we won't shirk it," Director Zhang said kindly.
"No, we'll wait at the hospital. We'll take Xiao Cui home when we have the results." Ding Ermei wasn't going to be fooled by Dean Zhang's sweet words.
after?
Who knows what will happen in the future?
Ding Ermei is the kind of person who argues even when she's in the wrong, and now that she's found a reason to be in the right, she'll definitely make sure the hospital gives her a generous compensation before she'll be satisfied.
Left with no other option, Dean Zhang summoned all the doctors and nurses involved in the incident to his office in front of Ding Ermei to inquire about the situation. He didn't even spare Dr. Wang and Huang Xiaoyan, who were on leave at home.
Wang Jing and the others didn't hide a single detail and told the truth.
Dean Zhang was preoccupied with his new regulations and overlooked what Wang Jing had said: even if Ding Xiaocui received timely treatment, there was no guarantee that the toxins would be completely eliminated.
After Wang Jing and the others left, Dean Zhang made another call to the Taohua Town Police Station.
Upon hearing the reply from the Taohua Town Police Station confirming that Zhoujia Village had indeed been sealed off, sweat beaded on Dean Zhang's forehead.
After some bargaining, Dean Zhang agreed to give Ding Ermei 1,000 yuan in compensation.
However, this matter ends here.
After receiving the compensation, Ding Ermei must not publicize it. Furthermore, she must not use this incident to cause trouble at the hospital again.
Ding Ermei agreed.
