Chapter 70 Intersection
That day, near the end of her shift, Gu Muran was explaining a patient's medication precautions to the nurse when the head nurse suddenly came in to tell her someone was looking for her. After the explanation, Gu Muran went to the nurse's station and found that the person looking for her was Li Qihan. It had been two weeks since her last birthday party, and she had not interacted with her second brother's friends during that time. She didn't understand why Li Qihan wanted to see her.
The man was standing next to the table at the nurses' station. Two young nurses under the table were holding their heads and secretly glancing at him.
"Is it almost time to get off work?" Li Qihan asked.
"Well, it's time to get off work." Gu Muruan was confused.
"Anything else later?"
Gu Murun shook her head.
"Can you do me a favor? Help me see a patient."
"Sure." Gu Muran answered subconsciously when she heard the word "patient".
"Okay, pack your things, I'll wait for you here."
"Oh, okay." Gu Muran was puzzled: Is the patient not in the hospital? Why didn't he just bring the patient here? Wouldn't it be more convenient for her to see the patient in the hospital?
Gu Muruan quickly packed up her things and went to the parking lot with Li Qihan.
After getting in the car, Li Qihan started the car: "Are you hungry? Do you want to go eat first?"
"Well, it's okay. Why don't we go see the patient first?" Gu Muruan was a little embarrassed. After all, they had only met once. Although he was the second brother's good brother, she was not familiar with him at all!
"He is a retired teammate of mine named Chen Lie. He comes from a poor family with two younger brothers who are still in high school. His mother passed away very early. After retiring from the army, he got a job in the county town. It is stable but the salary is not high. His father does odd jobs. His father broke his leg some time ago. Because it happened after get off work, it was not considered a work injury. In order to avoid any disability, he came here for examination and was ready for surgery. But it was found that my uncle had stomach cancer. Initially, he also needed surgery, but he could not afford the cost and did not accept my help. He is now living in a small hotel and is preparing to go back. So please do me a favor, Dr. Gu." Li Qihan told Gu Muran about the situation.
"So, you want me to pretend to go and check on the condition of their legs, and then pretend to give them some discounts or even do the surgery for free?" Gu Muruan quickly understood what Li Qihan meant. She had heard of this situation during her training. Thinking that Li Qihan's friend was a former soldier, he must be an upright and stubborn person.
"Yeah." Li Qi Han didn't expect Gu Muruan to understand what he meant so quickly, and he swallowed the words of explanation he had intended to say.
"Okay, but if he is a veteran, our hospital will provide subsidies." Gu Muran suddenly thought of it.
"He could have afforded the leg surgery, but since he also needed to go through stomach cancer surgery, he could have borrowed some money. However, he's not married yet, and his father insisted on saving the money to give to him. He's also very stubborn, and since he doesn't have many relatives, he refused to lend all the money to his comrades, nor would he accept any financial support. The two of them are currently at a stalemate. I only found out about this this morning when I bumped into him by chance."
Gu Muran was silent for a while. It was understandable. Sometimes, the poorer a person is, the more they want to retain a little dignity.
The car drove to a small alley and said, "The car can't drive in. The hotel is in the alley. Let's walk over." Li Qihan said.
It was already winter, and it was already dark at six o'clock. Gu Muran got out of the car and looked at the sewage on the roadside. This was the first time she had seen a place with an environment similar to her previous life since she came to S City.
There were two people on the side of the road, who seemed to be drunk and walked unsteadily. Gu Muran was a little scared. After Li Qihan parked the car, she followed closely behind Li Qihan. Li Qihan glanced at the two of them, slowed down his pace, and let Gu Muran walk to his side.
The alley was narrow, only wide enough for a bicycle or electric scooter to pass through. The hotel was also small, with no front desk. It was just a small room with a middle-aged woman sitting inside. I told her I was going up to look for someone, but she just hummed without even looking up.
The two of them went up to the second floor, where there were only a few rooms. Li Qi Han walked to the door facing the stairs and knocked.
