Yan Jiefang had already been wheeled into the operating room, but the three aunties didn't wait outside the operating room; instead, they came to the ward.
Yan Bugui also knew about Yan Jiefang's wrestling accident. Seeing his wife walk in, Yan Bugui immediately began to question her.
"I hope the second son is alright?"
Upon hearing her husband's words, the third aunt immediately burst into tears.
"Why does fate have to be so against our Yan family? The doctor just said that even if we have surgery, we might be crippled after liberation. As for how crippled we will be, that will depend on our recovery."
"How could this happen? It was just a fall on the stairs. Shouldn't it have been fine after a month or two of rest?"
"How was I supposed to know this would happen? Other people fall off their bikes and just get up and are fine, but you fell so badly and had to pay so much money in compensation. You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask now?"
Hearing his wife's words, Yan Bugui didn't know how to respond. All he could do was stare at the ceiling above him.
Although he desperately wanted to be discharged from the hospital, Yan Bugui knew that with such severe injuries, he wouldn't be able to go back to work if he didn't receive proper treatment. Once he lost his job, the Yan family would be completely ruined.
Yan Bugui lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling as he waited for his son. More than three hours later, Yan Jiefang was also wheeled back to the ward. However, Yan Jiefang was still under anesthesia and temporarily unconscious.
I don't know if it was due to his biological clock, but Yan Jiefang didn't wake up after being taken to the ward. He didn't slowly wake up until six or seven o'clock the next morning.
As soon as she woke up, she started crying out in pain, which soon woke up everyone in the ward.
"You bastard, how dare you complain about the pain? How could you do something so stupid? How long have you been working at the steel rolling mill? And now you've lost your job. What was the point of doing this?"
Hearing his father's words, Yan Jiefang forgot even the pain. If he had another chance, Yan Jiefang would never do this again.
But now that it's happened, there's no point in regretting it. Seeing his father still rambling on and on, Yan Jiefang was also getting annoyed.
"Don't just criticize me. The reason I'm like this is because I did what you told me to do. You keep telling me that everyone is rejecting me because of Wei Hua. If it weren't for him, my life wouldn't be so difficult."
"If you hadn't kept saying that, why would I have gone to take revenge on him? But when I asked yesterday, I found out that it was because of what you taught me that everyone hated me. Nobody wants to be schemed against by me, everyone treats me like a plague, and even my master is unwilling to teach me any skills."
"Dad, can you really profit from all this scheming every day? You've been scheming for so many years, but has our family become better off than others?"
“You keep saying that you won’t go poor from eating or dressing, but you will go poor if you don’t plan ahead. But it seems like our family has never had a good life.”
Hearing his son's words, Yan Bugui fell into deep thought. These were the words his father had taught him, and he had always followed his father's teachings, constantly scheming. Even though the family was wealthy, he was reluctant to spend money.
I've been scheming for two or three decades, and it seems I haven't had a good life at all. Those who never scheme about these things live better lives than me.
The more Yan Bugui thought about it, the more his head ached. Long-held beliefs couldn't be changed so quickly. Two voices kept clamoring in Yan Bugui's mind, like two natural enemies, each with its own stance and its own reasons.
Seeing his father lost in thought, Yan Jiefang couldn't help but look up at the ceiling. Yan Jiefang knew that his life was basically ruined.
Having experienced disrupting production and being fired from the steel mill, he knew he could forget about finding a job for the rest of his life; at most, he could do temporary work outside.
Even if he went outside to learn a trade, no master would ever hire him. Thinking of this, Yan Jiefang's tears flowed involuntarily.
It wasn't until the third aunt came to the hospital to bring food that the Yan family father and son were brought back to their senses. The Yan family's living conditions had never been particularly good, so their food standards were also low, and each person could only eat until they were half full at most.
Now that I see food, I don't care about anything else. The world is vast, but filling my stomach is the most important thing.
The Yan family's affairs didn't affect anyone else. Everyone went to work, went to school, or stayed home to rest during their pregnancies.
Wei Hua went to work with everyone as usual. But halfway there, he suddenly noticed something and saw a car suddenly plunge into the lake.
Without a word, Wei Hua ran over and jumped inside. Seeing that the car door wouldn't open, he picked up a stone from the bottom of the water and smashed the glass.
The lake water kept pouring into the car, making it impossible for the people inside to get out. Wei Hua gestured for them to hold their breath and wait until the car was full before coming out through the window.
After receiving Wei Hua's signal, the three people in the car were no longer nervous. Once the car was filled with water, they immediately climbed out of the window. Fortunately, they were all good swimmers, and they swam to the shore in no time.
"Young comrade, thank you so much this time. If you hadn't risked your life to jump out and break the car window, the three of us would probably be dead inside."
“I believe anyone would have jumped without hesitation. The only reason they didn’t is that I was a little faster than them. If there’s nothing else, I’ll head over now. I need to go back and change my clothes. If I don’t hurry, I might be late.”
"Young man, judging from your clothes, you must be an employee of a nearby factory! Could you tell me your name?"
"Wei Hua, a fitter at the steel rolling mill."
Wei Hua left immediately after speaking. But the three people who climbed out of the lake kept muttering that name.
"Xiao Wang! Go and make arrangements. We'll be visiting the steel mill in a couple of days. This young comrade jumped in without hesitation to save us; we have to repay that kindness. Inform the steel mill about this and have them award this young comrade an advanced individual award."
"Everyone else was watching from the sidelines, but he jumped without hesitation. This person must be of good character. Bring me his information afterward."
Upon hearing her boss's words, Secretary Wang immediately nodded and then left with her boss and driver.
Only the driver, Xiao Zhang, remained frowning. The middle-aged leader clearly noticed the driver's expression.
"There's no need to blame yourself. The main reason for this is me, and I'll submit a report myself afterward. You mentioned it to me many times, but I didn't let you get the car repaired in order to reduce expenses. I originally thought that these things wouldn't break so easily, but who knew that the steering wheel and brakes would both malfunction."
"Boss, this is all my fault. If I had checked things more often, this wouldn't have happened. What if something had happened to you? How could I face your wife?"
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's hurry back and change our clothes. There are still many things waiting for me to take care of."
After the leader finished speaking, the three of them slowly disappeared. Wei Hua also returned to the courtyard house, changed into clean clothes, and then jogged all the way to the steel rolling mill.
Even running, Wei Hua was still several minutes late. Fortunately, Wei Hua usually performed well, so the workshop director didn't say anything.
But just over two hours later, the workshop director came over with a big smile on his face.
"Good lad, you've done something really big without making a sound. I was wondering why you were late, turns out you went to rescue someone. Come with me quickly, Director Yang and Deputy Director Li are waiting for you in their office."
"Normally, no one knew how to deal with the ministry's inspection, but you actually saved the minister today. The minister even called directly and said he wanted to give you the title of advanced individual."
Upon hearing the workshop director's words, a large group of people in the workshop came over to share the good news with Wei Hua. After exchanging a few polite words with everyone, Wei Hua left the workshop with the workshop director.
Wei Hua hadn't expected the reward to be distributed in this way. Upon arriving at the conference room, he saw that all the leaders of the steel rolling mill were already there. Even Secretary Jiang, who rarely showed his face, appeared before Wei Hua.
Secretary Jiang, accompanied by Factory Director Yang and Deputy Factory Director Li, walked directly to Wei Hua and shook hands with him.
"You're a good kid, you really made our steel mill proud. The old commander rarely praises others. This time, he not only praised us, but also directly asked us to give you the title of Advanced Individual."
"Such acts of risking one's own life to save others should be widely publicized. They should serve as a model for others to learn from."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at the head of the publicity department.
"After lunch today, we will hold an awards ceremony at the factory. I will personally present Comrade Weihua with a big red flower."
"Secretary Jiang, we'll make the arrangements in a bit."
"Old Li! You're in charge of the factory's logistics. Do we have any receipts left at the steel rolling mill? If so, reward Comrade Weihua with a few valuable receipts. The minister will be coming down for an inspection in a few days, so let Comrade Weihua accompany him."
