The woman became sadder and sadder as she spoke, and she burst into tears in the corridor.
The crying attracted a lot of people's attention. Many people poked their heads out of the ward and stretched their necks to look over here.
The captain sighed and said, "Alas, the doctor said that if I don't wake up tonight, I may never wake up again.
What would you do then? Take the person home or leave him in the hospital?
Besides, even if he wakes up, he can’t go home for a while and has to recuperate in the hospital.
Is this a place that ordinary people can stay in? The cost is only one or two dollars a day. What do you think of us? We work so hard for a year and only get a hundred or so dollars at most.
If your man stays in the hospital for two months, the money he earns from working for a year won’t be enough for him to spend.
What's more, you have to eat and drink in the hospital, so you don't need money, right?"
The captain tried to persuade the woman to give up, but the woman gritted her teeth and refused to give in.
The two men were so angry that they threw their sleeves and left. The woman walked out from the stairs in a daze.
Some people who were not very thoughtful started to talk about him right in front of others: "He was in the ward next to ours, and he was almost flat on his face.
He was sent here last night. The doctor said that if he doesn’t wake up today, he’s probably beyond help!
I have spent nearly 200 yuan in the past two days. Who can afford it?"
When the old lady said this, everyone around her gasped: "Why did you spend so much money?"
“I heard that not only did it fall from the embankment, but rocks also fell from above and hit the man.
Tell me, I am almost flat, how come I can’t spend so much money? "
Seeing the woman approaching them, the old lady quickly closed her mouth and looked at the woman with sympathy.
The nurse at the nurses' station saw so many people gathered here and shouted, "Everyone, please go back quickly. They are all piled up here and we can't walk anymore."
The crowd dispersed, and Lu Zhiye called out to them, "Big sister."
The woman walked forward in a daze, and suddenly heard a voice. She thought she had misheard.
She turned around numbly and found that it was indeed Lu Zhiye calling her.
She quickly wiped away the tear marks on her face and forced a smile, but this smile was uglier than crying.
As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse and unpleasant: "Young man, what's the matter?"
"Sister, I have something I want to discuss with you. There is a female comrade in the ward next to yours.
He is also injured, and it is not convenient for us men to take care of him, so I would like to ask you to help take care of him."
The woman looked tense, and after a long pause she managed to utter, "I, maybe we'll go back tomorrow."
His eldest son has been borrowing money from everywhere in the village. If he can really get the money, he can help treat the head of the family.
If you don't have money, you can only go home and leave it to fate.
"I believe that good fortune will come to my brother, and he will definitely wake up.
I'm asking you for help, and it's not for free. I'll give you one dollar a day if you help me take care of the lady in the next room.
I can pay you a week's wages first, which is considered as hiring you. What do you think? "
The woman's cloudy eyes suddenly widened and she stammered, "What you said, you, you are telling the truth..."
Lu Zhiye directly took out seven yuan from his pocket and said, "There are relatives of ours with the nurses in the obstetrics and gynecology department upstairs.
You are responsible for helping to take care of her, preparing meals and feeding her, etc. When she has nothing to do, she will come down to take a look."
This is telling the woman not to think about doing things perfunctorily.
It’s not that Lu Zhiye thinks badly of people, but he has to be prepared for everything before he can feel at ease.
The woman's face was shaking with excitement. With a salary of one dollar a day, she was almost making as much as factory workers in the city.
The woman bent her knees and wanted to kneel down to Lu Zhiye, but Lu Zhiye quickly held her back and said, "I'll pay, you do the work, and we'll settle the bill."
I have no other request, just take good care of that female comrade."
The woman nodded repeatedly and was almost about to raise her finger to swear to the sky.
Even if her man really couldn't wake up and had to be taken back to the village to leave his fate to God, the woman would have to stay in the hospital and take good care of him.
Such a good thing, but I can’t even find the pole.
The old lady who had spoken earlier had been listening to them with her ears perked up.
When he heard it was one dollar a day, his eyes lit up.
He rushed to Lu Zhiye and said, "Comrade, are you really going to pay me one dollar a day?
Can you see how I am? I live nearby. My old man is not in good health, so I brought him here to see you.
It is very convenient for her to cook and do anything else, and her husband is waiting for her to take care of him.
How can I take care of you? So you should consider whether I can help you. "
The woman held the money tightly in her hand like she was protecting a calf, and said timidly, "Auntie, we have already made an agreement with this young comrade.
You can’t go back on your word…”
The old lady glared and said, "Isn't this the same as hiring a nurse in a hospital? We just hire whoever does the best job."
The old lady didn't think she would lose to that woman. The mere fact that she could live nearby and cook at home was enough to attract many people.
When the woman heard this, she immediately became anxious and raised her voice, saying, "How can we change what we have already agreed on?
You said that I have seen that my man can't take care of the family, and I said that you are too old and can't even support a person.
I also saw the girl next door. I can help clean and wash her, and she can even turn over. But you may not be able to do that!"
The old lady looked at her eloquent appearance and was so angry that spit flew everywhere: "Then can you cook for others?
The injured people are very particular about what they eat. There are many things in the cafeteria that you cannot eat.
It would be different if I cooked for myself!!!”
Seeing that she could not win the argument with the old lady, the woman became so anxious that her face turned red and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.
At this moment, Lu Zhiye replied: "Don't worry about this, auntie.
Since I have made an agreement with this lady, I will not change my mind."
The eldest sister looked at Lu Zhiye gratefully, and as she spoke she went to Zhu Xiuli's room to help clean up.
Lu Zhiye also slowly walked out of the hospital gate, leaving the old lady stomping her feet angrily on the spot.
"Bah, who do you think you are? I think it's unlucky to take care of a half-dead person.
It was really the two of them who got together and got hurt so badly, they both deserved it."
