The square-faced man mistakenly thought that Zhu Xiuli still had something to say to Lu Zhiye, so he didn't stay for long and hurried back to the Public Security Bureau.
Lu Zhiye closed the door and just stood there quietly without saying anything.
Zhu Xiuli thought that everyone had left. She sobbed twice in the quilt, wiped her tears, and pulled off the quilt.
Zhu Xiuli met Lu Zhiye's gaze with tears in her eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Young man, why haven't you left yet?"
Lu Zhiye always stood at the door, keeping a certain distance from Zhu Xiuli.
He thought for a long time before saying, “I thought about it and I shouldn’t ask you for so much money.
After all, it's just a small favor. If you're willing, you can treat us brothers to a meal when you get better."
Zhu Xiuli couldn't hide the shock in her heart.
She felt a little confused when she heard the young man's honorific address to her.
I don’t know what caused the young man to have such a big change in attitude.
"I don't know why you do this. But in my opinion, what you do is just a piece of cake, but it will change my life.
This favor must be repaid, but with my current health, no matter how much I say, it will be of no use.
When my family comes in a couple of days, I will definitely ask them to come and thank you.”
Seeing the seriousness on Zhu Xiuli's face, Lu Zhiye sighed imperceptibly and did not say any more words of refusal.
After giving a few simple instructions, he opened the door and walked out.
Lu Zhiye walked up to the obstetrics and gynecology department on the second floor. Sister-in-law Xiaorou was busy here. When she saw Lu Zhiye coming, she smiled and said, "Xiaoye is here?
What's going on? Is there anything wrong? "
Lu Zhiye came to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department for no reason. Xiaorou felt that he was most likely here to see her.
As expected, Lu Zhiye walked to Xiaorou's side and said softly, "Sister-in-law, I have something to ask of you."
Xiaorou raised the corner of her lips in surprise: "If you have anything to say, just tell me! But I'm in the hospital every day. If it's something at home, you can just go to your brother."
Lu Zhiye quickly shook his head: "There is a woman in the inpatient department over there, whom we rescued in the mountains before.
I would like to ask my sister-in-law to help take care of it!"
Xiaorou thought it was a big deal and said with a smile, "Okay, tell me the room and bed number, and I'll go over there when I'm free."
"Thank you so much, sister-in-law!"
“That’s nothing, but you have to tell your brother today that I’ve been assigned to be on duty during the New Year’s holiday and I won’t be able to go back for a while.
Let him take Niuniu back first, and I will ride my bike back by myself."
New Year’s Eve is just a few days away, and someone has to be on duty at the hospital, and Xiaorou is the unlucky one.
Lu Zhiye coughed lightly: "Sister-in-law, where is Niuniu now? I'll take her back!"
Xiaorou thought for a moment and then agreed: "She is playing at my mother's house, you can just take her back.
I packed all the clothes for her in the morning, as well as the clothes I made for my parents and the food I bought.
You can take it with you when the time comes......"
Xiaorou gave instructions in a gentle voice, and to anyone who looked at her, she was a good woman who was filial to her parents-in-law and loved her children.
Lu Zhiye waved at her, and just as he turned around to leave, he suddenly thought of something and borrowed a small water cup from Xiaorou.
"Sister-in-law, the man we rescued was all alone, and all his belongings were stolen by pickpockets.
There's not even a person in the room who can drink water. Do you have any new lunch boxes and water cups? Sell one to her."
Xiao Rou smiled and said, "Look at you, this is not a coincidence!
The New Year benefits provided by our hospital this year are lunch boxes and water cups.
I haven't opened it yet, you can just give it to her."
"Thank you so much, sister-in-law!"
Lu Zhiye took the lunch box and water cup, ran to the water room, and carefully scalded them with hot water.
Then he filled the cup with some warm spring water and the lunch box with some sweet porridge.
Zhu Xiuli can't eat meat or greasy food now, so she can only fill her stomach with these.
Returning to the ward, Lu Zhiye raised his hand and knocked on the door twice. The moment he opened the door, he saw Zhu Xiuli looking out the window with a daydreamy look, not knowing what she was thinking about.
Lu Zhiye put the lunch box on the table and handed the water cup to Zhu Xiuli: "Sister Zhu, this is the warm water I just filled, take a sip.
I exchanged this water cup and lunch box from the nurse, they are both new.
Don't worry, there is porridge in the lunch box. It may be a little hot now. Wait until it cools down a little before eating.
I have some things to do in my village, so I will go back first. You should take good care of your injuries here and don't think about anything else."
Lu Zhiye finished speaking quickly, and without waiting for Zhu Xiuli to speak, he took big strides and walked out.
Looking at his broad back, Zhu Xiuli suppressed the mystery in her heart and gently put the cup of water to her lips.
It seems that this guy added sugar into the water cup, so it tastes sweet.
Lu Zhiye had just walked to the corner and almost bumped into a woman.
The woman looked to be in her fifties or sixties, and her face was filled with sorrow.
There were two young men standing opposite her. This was the only way to go down the stairs, and they were blocking the way, making it difficult for Lu Zhiye to pass.
He had no intention of eavesdropping on their conversation, but the woman's anxious voice kept drilling into his ears.
"Captain, my husband also fell down when we were repairing the dam.
In this situation, if the brigade and the commune don't do anything, won't this be the end of us?
We have already paid 60 or 70 yuan, and now the money is almost gone. What will our family do in the future?"
"Hey! It's not that we don't care about Lao Niu's family, but the brigade can't take out any money now.
What's more, the team has already paid almost 100 yuan for you, and the doctor has said that it is not certain whether your life can be saved.
I have to say something unpleasant, if this happened in someone else’s home, it would have been cured long ago.”
"Yes, auntie, didn't you hear what the doctor said? Even if you wake up later, your body won't be able to do heavy work.
Now we have emptied our family's savings to save them, will your family have nothing to eat or drink after that?"
The two men were also very distressed. For rural people, when they get a serious illness, the moment they step into the hospital, half of the family’s money has been put into it.
Both of them felt that it would be better not to treat this situation. At least the family could keep some money to support the woman and children.
The woman stood up tremblingly and said, "My man is the pillar of the family, and he has three or four children to raise.
The eldest son just agreed to the marriage, but when he heard about the situation and the fact that there was no labor force in the family, the girl no longer agreed.
Besides, no matter what, he is my man.
Others can give up on him, but I can’t…”
