The bracelet was very beautiful and some people wanted to see it, but the old man refused to show it to others unless they were paid first.
The old man’s reason was that the jade bracelet was fragile and if it was bumped or scratched, he would have no money to pay for his grandson’s medical expenses.
The average salary of an average person is only between 30 and 80 yuan. Who would carry so much money with them for no reason?
So, most people are just there to watch the fun.
Someone wanted to buy it, but offered 10 yuan, and the old man was unwilling to sell it.
The onlookers saw that the old man was wearing shabby clothes and did not think that he could produce anything truly valuable, so they advised him to just sell it so that they could use the money to send their grandson to the hospital for treatment sooner.
When everyone saw Song Zhiting coming over in military uniform, they automatically made way for him.
Song Zhiting squatted down and touched the child's forehead, which was very hot.
"Old man, the child has a high fever and needs to be taken to the hospital immediately."
The people around him said, "He has no money, otherwise he wouldn't sell the bracelet."
Song Zhiting picked up the child and said to the old man, "Old man, get in our car, I will take you to the hospital."
The old man quickly got up and followed.
…
When we arrived at the hospital, the child's fever had reached 41 degrees. The doctor said if we had come any later, the child would have become mentally ill.
Song Zhiting went to pay the bill and complete the hospitalization procedures for his child, and was about to go back when the old man caught up with him.
Holding a box in both hands, he handed it to Song Zhiting: "Comrade of the People's Liberation Army, I don't have the money to pay you back, so this bracelet will be used to pay for your medical expenses."
Song Zhiting pushed it away carefully: "Old man, I don't want you to pay me back, go back and take care of your grandson."
The old man refused: "Comrade of the People's Liberation Army, this jade bracelet is my only valuable thing, but my grandson is also my only relative. You saved my grandson, so you are my great benefactor."
Looking at the old man's current situation, Song Zhiting thought about it. He had just paid 10 yuan in fees, and he still had 91 yuan in salary. In addition, he had not used up the money he earned from hunting last time. Song Zhiting collected 100 yuan and gave it to old man Yang to buy his jade bracelet.
Captain Zhao wanted to stop it, but when he saw the situation of Old Man Yang, he didn't say anything.
Old man Yang didn't want to accept it, but he didn't know how much the follow-up expenses would cost since his grandson was in the hospital.
Holding the money, Old Man Yang was about to kneel down and kowtow to Song Zhiting, but was stopped by Song Zhiting.
"Comrade from the People's Liberation Army, which unit are you in? I will definitely pay you back when I have money in the future."
Song Zhiting said, "Old man, I bought your jade bracelet. The money and goods have been paid. You don't owe me anything."
