Huang Ling suddenly asked, "Is it taking responsibility for these few days, or for a lifetime?"
The deputy director, who had been smiling, immediately changed his expression and said, "Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that?"
Huang Ling then said to the deputy director, "The doctor just told me that our Tu Nan may have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair because both of his femurs are broken, so I need to ask about it!"
The deputy director lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and said, "How about this, I'll make the decision on behalf of the director and give Tu Nan 100,000 yuan in one lump sum so he can recuperate at home. Is that alright with you?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Ling became anxious and said, "How is that possible? He's been in a wheelchair his whole life; he can't stand up!"
"So you mean you want our design firm to be responsible for us for life?"
"His injury was work-related!"
"We didn't say we wouldn't take care of you! This is a discussion! We'll give you 100,000 yuan. If you don't agree, how about this: Tu Nan will be cared for by our design institute for 500 yuan a month for 30 years. How about that?"
"this,,?"
"If you can't make the decision, discuss it with Tu Nan's father. Once you've reached an agreement, let us at the design department know. That's all. I have other things to do at the office, so I'll be leaving now!"
After saying that, the deputy director turned and left!
Zhuang Xiaoting hurried to Huang Ling's side and said, "Mom, is what you just told the director true?"
Huang Ling turned to look at Zhuang Tunan, and seeing that he was also looking at her expectantly, her expression softened slightly, but she quickly smiled and said, "No, I'm just worried that their company won't take responsibility. Maybe a miracle will happen, and Tunan will be able to stand up tomorrow!"
Zhuang Xiaoting quickly calmed herself down and said, "My mom! You really are my mom. When you told the deputy director that my brother would be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, my heart skipped a beat. My poor brother is here! Sigh, please don't make jokes like that again!"
Just as Huang Ling was about to speak, the ward door was suddenly pushed open, and Lin Wufeng and Song Ying entered the ward carrying large and small bags, followed by Zhuang Chaoying.
Lin Chaofeng walked to the bedside and asked Zhuang Tunan, "How are you, Tunan? Are you alright?"
Zhuang Tunan chuckled and said, "It's nothing. I accidentally fell into a pit last night while I was inspecting the construction site. Ugh, what bad luck!"
“It’s inevitable that there will be big and small holes on this construction site. I studied engineering, so I know that. You need to be more careful at work in the future and not be careless, so as not to worry your parents too much!”
Zhuang Tunan nodded and said, "I understand, Uncle Lin. I will be careful in the future!"
"Okay, that's all for now. I need to go with your aunt to pay New Year's visits to the leaders of the cotton mill. I'll come see you again when I have time!"
"Okay, go ahead and get busy, Uncle. Don't worry about me!"
Lin Wufeng took a step back and then wanted to leave with Song Ying, but Song Ying saw tears welling up in Huang Ling's eyes and felt bad too. She moved closer to Huang Ling, pulled her, and walked outside.
When Song Ying and Huang Ling came outside, Song Ying asked Huang Ling, "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
With tears still in her eyes, Huang Ling wiped them away and said, "Song Ying, Tu Nan has broken both legs and will never be able to stand up again!"
"Oh! Really? Should we go to Shanghai to get it checked out? If that doesn't work, we can go to the south and find a better orthopedic surgeon!"
"The doctor told me that my left leg was the most severely injured, with two-thirds of it broken, and my right leg was also broken by one-third. He said that if I wanted to recover, it would have to be a miracle!"
"I've heard that eating black sesame seeds, broccoli, eggs, and milk can be helpful for broken bones. You can let Tu Nan eat more good food!"
Huang Ling covered her face, about to burst into tears. Just then, Lin Wufeng came out from inside and, seeing Huang Ling about to cry, hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Song Ying said to him, "The doctor just told Sister Ling that Tu Nan's legs are both broken, and he probably won't be able to stand up for the rest of his life!"
"What? Is it that serious? Should we transfer to another hospital and see a different doctor?"
"The doctor said both of my legs are broken. It's not a matter of changing doctors; broken bones can only be healed!"
"Then we should try to get Tu Nan better as soon as possible! He's about to get married, and if something like this happens, we won't be able to explain it to the Li family!"
Huang Ling wiped away her tears and said to Song Ying, "You and Engineer Lin go ahead and get busy! We'll talk about it when we get back!"
So Huang Ling wiped away her tears, straightened her clothes, and said with a smile, "I'll go see Tu Nan!"
As Song Ying watched Huang Ling enter the ward, her eyes welled up with tears. She said to Lin Wufeng, "We were just about to have a good life, and both of our children are successful. But how will Sister Ling live in the future? Her daughter is getting married, and now her son has gotten into this mess."
Lin Wufeng patted Song Ying on the shoulder and said, "It's alright, we're still here, aren't we? I'll call my colleagues in the south later and see if there are any good orthopedic specialists. Let's do our part!"
Song Ying nodded and said, "Sister Ling has had it so tough. She was finally about to get through this, and now this has happened. I really feel sorry for her!"
"Alright! Alright! Don't we still have things to do? We'll come back later."
Song Ying then left the hospital with Lin Wufeng.
As soon as Huang Ling entered the ward, she saw Zhuang Chaoying sitting next to Zhuang Tunan and talking to him. She heard Zhuang Chaoying say, "What happened to you? You even broke your leg on your way to work. You'd better be careful in the future!"
Zhuang Tunan lowered his head somewhat ashamed and said, "I understand, Dad. I'm sorry for making you worry!"
"Sigh, what parent doesn't worry about their children? Just be more careful at work from now on!"
"Okay, Dad!"
At this moment, Zhuang Xiaoting asked Zhuang Tunan, "Brother, should we tell my sister-in-law about your matter?"
Zhuang Chaoying quickly said, "That's right! You should tell Li Jia about this, otherwise she'll complain. You know, couples shouldn't keep secrets from each other, it will damage their relationship!"
If those two workers hadn't mentioned the name "Engineer Li" last night, he would have hoped Li Jia would come to see him. But now Zhuang Tunan was conflicted because he didn't know whether he should question Li Jia about whether she designed the shoddy construction walls. He would also question Li Jia about her relationship with Zhou Chengzhi, and of course, he wanted to question Xiang Pengfei about how he helped Li Jia destroy the evidence.
Zhuang Tunan looked at Xiang Pengfei, but Xiang Pengfei kept his head down, not daring to look at Zhuang Tunan, and instead fiddled with his fingers.
When Zhuang Xiaoting saw that Zhuang Tunan was ignoring her, she was about to ask him another question when the ward door was suddenly pushed open a crack. Wu Jianguo peeked out, saw Zhuang Tunan, and hurriedly said, "This is it, this is it! I've looked in several wards and got the wrong one. This time it's definitely the right one!"
As he spoke, he pushed open the door. Behind him were Zhang Amei and Zhang Min.
The three of them were also carrying large bags and small bags, with a lot of things in them.
When Huang Ling saw that the Wu family had brought so many things to visit Zhuang Tunan, she felt bad and quickly said, "It's enough that he's here. Why bring so much stuff? He's a young man; he can't eat all of this!"
Just as Wu Jianguo was wondering what to say, he saw Zhuang Tunan on the hospital bed and hurriedly said, "Oh dear! Tunan, you injured your leg? It takes at least a hundred days to recover from such a sprain! Take good care of yourself, Tunan. I bought you some things, eat them slowly, and I'll buy you more when you're done."
Zhuang Chaoying said, "Master Wu, you don't need to go to such lengths. We're all neighbors. It's enough for him to come and visit a junior like him!"
Wu Jianguo quickly said, "Teacher Zhuang, you can't say that. Tu Nan has helped Wu Jun a lot. Not to mention tutoring his homework, he also helps with problem-solving. It's only right that we help him."
