Chapter 140 The Domineering President’s Dad 19
At this time, the medical staff of the hospital had already gone off work, and only the staff on duty were still busy.
As soon as I came in, I felt the unique quietness of the hospital. Even the air seemed to smell like disinfectant.
The hospital's emergency room is next to the emergency room, located on the first floor of Building A.
Seeing Xiao Yan, Xiao Yihuang felt relieved. He stood up and waved to them, lowering his voice: "Dad, Sister Xiaofan, I'm here."
At that moment, the door to the emergency room opened and a gurney rolled out. Xiao Yihuang hurried over and asked, "Doctor, how is he?"
As they walked, the medical staff explained to him, "The patient has status epilepticus with cerebral edema. The cerebral edema is currently mild and requires hospitalization."
Xiao Yihuang nodded, not knowing what to say. Instead, the doctor told him a lot about the diet and dietary restrictions for epilepsy patients.
"Don't worry, the patient will regain consciousness in the next two days."
The inpatient department is in Building C, and the old man's ward is arranged in Ward 508. This is a general ward with three beds. The old man's bed is located near the balcony.
Xiao Yan also asked at the nurses' station. The hospital has a dedicated nursing team, but the patient's family needs to bear the expenses.
The old man had no family to look after him, and Xiao Yihuang couldn't even take care of himself, let alone take care of him. His family wasn't short of money, and they could still afford a caregiver. There was no need to exhaust themselves over a small sum.
The caregiver was a 28-year-old young man. He said he used to be a clinical nurse, and was very popular in the hospital, but his salary was pitifully low, he always had to work night shifts, and he often had to pay his own way to work...
I discovered by chance that the nursing industry makes money quickly, the monthly "salary" is higher than that of a nurse, and the work is relatively easier than that of a nurse, because nurses do more than just take care of patients. They are busy like a top every day and rely entirely on the "iron rice bowl" to comfort themselves.
After working for a few years, his family needed money, so he gritted his teeth and quit his job, downgrading himself to become a caregiver.
Every choice has its pros and cons. Although it may not seem to have long-term development in the eyes of others, the money is really a lot!
He himself is a nurse and has high-level nursing skills. The families of wealthy patients like to ask him to take care of them. If the patient is discharged from the hospital, he will give him a large red envelope as a good luck and gratitude. If the patient cannot be cured, the family will also give him a sum of money as a reward.
Although the quality of the population will always vary due to the large population base, having money can always reduce some unnecessary troubles.
Seeing another big customer coming, the nurse did not show any joy. After all, the patient's family was suffering. If he showed happiness, wouldn't that be offensive?
He signed the contract, accepted the advance payment, and comforted the other party: "Don't worry, I will definitely take care of you as if you were my family!"
Xiao Yan did not explain that he had no relationship with the old man. He nodded and transferred another sum of money to the other party.
"Use these to buy him some fruit, daily necessities, and laundry supplies. If you have any questions, you can contact me directly."
The old man is not conscious yet and needs someone to accompany and take care of him. Xiao Yan booked a room for the caregiver in a nearby hotel.
I just asked the doctor. If nothing unexpected happens, the old man will be discharged from the hospital in two or three weeks, so the contract he signed with the nurse is calculated on a daily basis.
Meng Xiaofan had just come back from downstairs. She followed the doctor's dietary restrictions and bought some supplements outside the hospital.
I have to say that those merchants are usually business-minded. The daily necessities stores, convenience stores and medical equipment stores outside, except that most of them are open very late, the others are almost open 24 hours a day, fully considering the convenience of hospital patients when they need to buy things.
After returning to the ward, Xiao Yan and his friends did not stay too long because the patient in the next bed needed to rest.
The next morning at ten o'clock, Xiao Yihuang went out to buy a tricycle without bothering the driver. It was the first time in his life that he took the subway.
This is not peak time, so there are not many people on the subway.
The tricycle shop pushed by the aunt is in the East District, and it takes nearly 40 minutes to get there by subway.
In addition to the subway station, after turning on the navigation and walking for eight minutes, you will see a car shop called Didi. Outside, there are neatly arranged electric vehicles, electric bicycles, electric tricycles, and even electric four-wheelers that parents use to pick up and drop off their children at school. Some of them have big red flowers on them.
The car looked strangely shaped, like a fish that had been cut in half, with only the head left.
“Come in and take a look. If you like anything, you can try it.” The shop owner was very welcoming.
A young man goes out alone without any means of transportation, which means he is planning to buy a car!
She came forward to greet him: "Handsome boy, what kind of car do you want to buy? Let me introduce it to you."
It was the first time Xiao Yihuang was called a handsome guy in person. He felt a little embarrassed: "I was introduced by Aunt Chen. I'm the one who added you as a friend yesterday evening."
He opened the page on his phone, and the shopkeeper took a look and clapped his hands, saying, "Oh, it's you! You're so handsome, I almost didn't recognize you! You want to buy a tricycle like Sister Chen's, right? Come over here~"
The shop owner took Xiao Yihuang to the other side. The electric tricycles here looked almost the same, but with different styles, and some even had built-in fingerprint unlocking function.
"I recommend this one. It can be controlled via your phone and has an anti-theft alarm and positioning function, so you don't have to worry about it being stolen. This one is newer than Sister Chen's. It's the second-generation model that just came out, and many people are buying it!"
Xiao Yihuang looked around and was a little dissatisfied. Somehow his mind automatically recalled the chopped pepper fish head cart he saw at first sight.
Although the chopped pepper fish head car looks a bit strange, it is a small car, black and white in color, and the headlights on the front of the car look like panda eyes, which is strange but also a little cute.
Xiao Yihuang turned and looked at the chopped pepper fish head cart: "I want to see that one."
The shopkeeper's smile widened. She opened the door and said, "This is the newly released Panda Mini. It's better than those tricycles. It can also protect you from the wind and rain. And look..."
She folded down the front and back seats to form a small bed. "If you want to take a nap, you can rest on it for a while. There's plenty of space, and most importantly, it's convenient to drive during rush hour."
Xiao Yihuang was even more satisfied when he saw that the rear seats could be folded down. He was a little worried about the cramped space in this type of car, but with this function, he no longer had to worry about this problem.
The shopkeeper pulled up the chair and said, "Come on, shall I take you for a ride? Or do you want to feel it yourself?"
To be honest, the cars are all similar, and Xiao Yihuang is mainly worried about the price.
"How much is this car?"
The shopkeeper waved his hand and said, "It's not much, only 32,000. You were introduced by Sister Chen. I'll teach you how to use the coupons later and give you some more discounts as a favor. I'll charge you 28,000. If you have any friends who can help introduce me, that'll be fine."
Xiao Yihuang: "..."
He had bought a million-dollar car before, but that was in the past. Now that he was spending his own startup fund, Xiao Yihuang just felt that the 28,000 was shockingly expensive.
Xiao Yihuang looked embarrassed. Bargaining was very embarrassing for him. But when he thought about the remaining amount, his face flushed red. With a bit of embarrassment, he said tactfully, "Can it be a little less?"
"I've only been setting up my stall for a few days, and I only make less than a few dozen yuan a day, which is not even enough to cover the stall fees. Last night, I took an elderly man to the hospital, and I paid for the hospital fees and all the other expenses. I really don't have much money on me. Can you make it cheaper?"
At first, Xiao Yihuang was a little embarrassed, but then he spoke more and more fluently. So, it goes like this: thick-skinned people are something they practice.
The shopkeeper exclaimed, "So it was you who sent Lao Hu away!"
The shop owner seemed to know the old man, and she complained, "His two annoying sons, haven't they come back yet?"
Xiao Yihuang shook his head. "Uncle's eldest son is abroad, so the call was unavailable. The younger son did answer the phone, but when he heard that uncle was in the hospital, he hung up immediately. When he called again, the phone was turned off."
The shopkeeper cursed, "Those two bastards are such bastards! If it weren't for Old Hu's kindness, how would they be where they are today? Their food, shelter, and even their schooling were all saved by Old Hu, and yet they grew up to be ungrateful wolves! It can only be said that these two little bastards inherited their father's inferior genes!"
You can see that the shop owner was very angry and even cursed.
According to her, the two were children of Lao Hu's neighbors. Their father often drank, gambled, and committed domestic violence. Their mother developed mental problems from the beatings, and after being beaten again, she stabbed the man to death and then jumped off the building.
Because their father had accumulated a lot of debts from gambling, their relatives were unwilling to take them in. In the end, it was their neighbor Lao Hu who took the initiative to take care of them, but he never expected that they would turn out to be two ungrateful people!
When the incident happened in their family, the two were only five or six years old. Now, after more than thirty years of raising them, they didn't even answer the phone when the elderly were sick! What kind of beast is this?
After scolding the two beasts, the shop owner began to worry about him. "If they don't come back, what will you do with your expenses? There's a donation platform now. How about you help everyone donate some money to him?"
Xiao Yihuang originally wanted to bargain for this, but when he heard the shopkeeper's remarks, he suddenly felt a little ashamed.
"Although I don't have money, my family is wealthy, and our company has set up a special charitable foundation. I will help you submit the application, so you don't have to worry."
"Besides, according to our country's laws, regardless of whether the uncle transferred the child's ownership or not, the fact that they raised the child constitutes a de facto adoption relationship, and we can sue the other party for non-fulfillment of their support obligations. My family also set up a free legal aid foundation specifically for vulnerable groups in society. When the uncle wakes up and wants to sue them, it won't be difficult."
The only worry is that the old man still has feelings for his two adopted sons.
