Chapter 134 134 Let’s do it on a big scale!
This sentence brought Niu Xiaofang back to her senses. Although she was not very good to Laicai, she still had a little bit of mother-son affection. When she worked in a dance hall before and secretly bought roast chicken and roast goose with her salary, she would at least leave a wing and a leg for her son. Later, Aunt Niu instructed the child to go to the detention center to ask her for money. She was really mad under the attack from both inside and outside, but after being educated by the public security comrades, she did change a little.
It wasn't much, but it was enough to make her think. If she went in again this time, it would not be easy to get out.
If she can't get out, her son will really be sold.
Thinking of this, she broke out in a cold sweat and turned to Li Yulan in the crowd for help: "Director Yulan, you have to make the decision for me! I am actively accepting reform in prison, and I will be treated leniently if I confess. But my son is being sold outside. You have to make the decision for me!"
Li Yulan was now the director, so she could no longer refuse. "Okay, let's report it to the police." She couldn't handle such a serious matter as selling children.
No one thought there was anything wrong with this sentence, but the only enthusiastic person who tried to stop the fight, Sister Lao, panicked.
"I guess it's a misunderstanding. Since the sale didn't go through, there's no need to report it. The police are so busy every day, with so many major cases to handle, so why not bother them to deal with such a trivial matter?"
Shu Jinyue raised the corners of his mouth.
"That's right. My little Li's brother-in-law is also very busy. It's not good to trouble him with this matter." Aunt Li never misses any opportunity to show off her "connections", and she is quite on the side of Sister Lao. "Little Lao is right. We are neighbors and should help each other. For this matter, we can all be witnesses and let the mother and daughter solve it themselves."
Hey, this is weird. Aunt Li's speaking skills have been getting better and better recently, so much so that Shu Jinyue started to suspect whether she had secretly attended some training course that said "Improve emotional intelligence in 30 days" or "Learn to speak well in one month"!
Sister Lao nodded at her gratefully.
Shu Jinyue found that Sister Lao was in a very tense state. On one hand, she was dealing with Aunt Li, on the other hand, she wanted to step back. However, her efforts to stop the fight had pushed her to the middle, where there were people all around. In order to show her affection for her, Aunt Li even hugged her arm tightly!
Sister Lao was going crazy: This damn old woman, please let go! Let go!
But Aunt Li couldn't hear her at all. She just wanted to show that she had a good relationship with Xiao Lao, so she refused to let go.
In fact, her idea is very simple. Sister Lao is a beautiful widow, which makes her a hot commodity in the blind date market. If she can master this resource, it will be very beneficial to her. Not to mention, she knows several bachelors who want to find a wife. As long as she reveals some information, they all want to go on a blind date with Sister Lao. Wouldn't they give her a big red envelope then?
If she succeeds, she can get more.
Isn't this better than working at a tofu stall and earning a few dollars a day?
Niu Xiaofang actually didn't want to go to the police. She had come to understand during her time in there that nothing was more important than freedom, and she swore that she would never go to that kind of place again. "Well, let's not report it. It's a family matter. Let's solve it ourselves."
"Who said not to contact the police? You have to contact us for this matter!" Suddenly, a strong and powerful voice came from outside the crowd. Li Xiangdong brought a dozen people, and the crowd automatically made way for a passage.
When Niu Xiaofang saw the uniforms they were wearing, her legs went limp and she collapsed to the ground.
Aunt Niu was not afraid of Niu Xiaofang or Li Yulan now, but she was afraid of this group of people in uniform. Her legs were shaking with fear and she wanted to cry out for justice no matter what. However, her face was swollen and she could not open her mouth, so she could only bury her head in the ground and pretend to be dead.
As Li Xiangdong's footsteps got closer and closer, their hearts were in their throats. Aunt Niu even had a stream of yellow liquid flowing out from her body. "I, I, I didn't do anything bad. Don't arrest me."
"We are here to catch the human traffickers today."
Everyone was in uproar, "Are there human traffickers here?"
Everyone hated Aunt Niu from the bottom of their hearts, but no one really thought of her as a human trafficker.
Then, Li Xiangdong, with great vigor, ran straight towards Niu Xiaofang and her daughter... and Sister Lao behind him.
No one reacted until Sister Lao was handcuffed with a silver bracelet. “Hey, weren’t the police going to arrest Aunt Niu who sold the child? Why did they arrest Sister Lao who was trying to stop the fight?”
"Yes, Aunt Niu is the one who sold the child. What does she have to do with Sister Lao?"
"See, this is the consequence of watching everything going on. The police arrested you by mistake."
Sister Lao was relatively calm. She smiled softly and looked at Li Xiangdong. "Director Li, did you make a mistake? I am only here to mediate the fight out of kindness. I thought we have been neighbors for many years, so I should try to mediate and not make the mother and daughter turn against each other, right?"
"Yes, that's right. Director Li, you may have arrested the wrong person and wrongly accused a good person."
Li Xiangdong sneered, "Lao Limei, did I arrest the wrong person? Can you explain it to everyone?"
There was a hint of danger in Li Xiangdong's smile. The reason why Lao Limei was able to hide among the crowd for so many years was entirely due to her perception of danger. She sensed it this time as well, from the moment she went out to watch the excitement, but years of stable life have made her less alert.
If she hadn't come out to watch the fun, if she hadn't come to stop the fight, if she hadn't been pestered by Aunt Li, she wouldn't have ended up like this... Yes, she just didn't expect that if she hadn't done those evil things, she wouldn't have been arrested at all.
Seeing her stunned, everyone was also dumbfounded.
Everyone has great trust in Li Xiangdong. Over the years since he was transferred to the Xinqiao Street Police Station, everyone has witnessed how much the public security in Liuye Hutong has improved and how much he has contributed.
So, even though Sister Lao behaved like a weak woman, everyone trusted Li Xiangdong more.
"Take them away." Li Xiangdong didn't say anything more and asked someone to get Aunt Niu up again, "Take them away together."
As for Niu Xiaofang, she kept reducing her presence, shrinking and shrinking, as if she wanted to dig a crack in the ground to crawl into. She was determined not to let the police see that she had committed a crime again.
Of course, Li Xiangdong had no time to deal with her today. "Niu Xiaofang, right? Go home and take good care of the child. I'm telling you this: if you can raise the child well, your good days are ahead. If you dare to have any bad ideas, you'll be sent to prison again."
"Yes, yes, okay, okay, I will definitely take good care of the child. I will never get into trouble again. I will never do anything illegal again. I... wuwu... I..." She burst into tears when she thought of the days in prison.
The days when she lost her freedom were the most difficult days in her life. She could not have eaten enough even if she had to boil water every day, and she had endless labor and studies to do every day. She also truly experienced the feeling of being bullied.
Just like she had disliked the Shu sisters since she was a child and bullied Shu Jinyue without reason, she was also the one who was disliked in there. Everyone tried their best to bully her without reason, calling it "educating" her. Because she was sent there for that kind of crime, everyone in the women's prison looked down on her from the bottom of their hearts. Compared to a child's prank, that was real bullying.
She also thought about finding the prison guards, but just like when Shu Jinyue was a child, the more she told the teacher, the more she bullied him. Those people in there were even worse than her. She was almost tortured to the point of mental breakdown. Several times at night, when she heard them talking, she would tremble all over and couldn't control her urination.
Now, she just wanted to cherish her hard-earned freedom and never go in again.
Shu Jinyue didn't expect that she also experienced her own childhood, but Jinyue didn't care.
Ever since Li Xiangdong took away Lao Limei and Aunt Niu, the news topic of the entire Xinqiao Street has been this matter. Jin Yue is busy with work every day and is too busy to listen to gossip, so why should he care about her?
"It turns out that Aunt Niu has always disliked Laicai for eating for free. Recently, she wanted to learn how to buy a house. I don't know how she got in touch with Lao Limei. She introduced her to a family and said that the family had given birth to three daughters in a row and had always wanted a son. If they could get a son, they would definitely treat him like a treasure and give him the best. In the future, Laicai would inherit the family business."
Shu Jinyue is funnier and sounds quite "real".
"Aunt Niu even went to the family's house to see him. She said he was a doctor from the city hospital and that he was in very good condition. He had a color TV at home and it was obvious that he was a well-off family. Only then did she agree to sell it for 2,000 yuan."
"She even thought that, compared to selling him to the mountains to be a farmer's son, she was helping Laicai find a good place to live and enjoy life!"
Shu Jinyue was speechless, while the others were piercing: "Maybe she is still dreaming that when the child grows up, she will want to recognize him and eat the ready-made one."
"Bah, she still wants to pick peaches, what a joke!"
Shu Jinyue felt something was wrong. If they were working in a hospital, they would have a higher sense of law and morality. They were not the kind of people who would buy a child. "Could the so-called couple who wanted to buy a child be human traffickers in disguise?"
"That's right! I heard that the police went to the place she mentioned to check, but the people had already changed and said that the house was rented. No one in the area knew them, and there were no three daughters. It was obvious that they were pretending to be people, and they moved away when they were bought. She went to look for them, but the place was empty."
"Laicai is a clever kid. Aunt Niu took him to that family's house that day, but he felt something was wrong. He pretended to be asleep and eavesdropped on the adults' conversation, only to find out that he was going to be sold. When he woke up, he pretended to pee and ran away quietly. He knew the way well, so he ran straight to our area and went to the police station to look for Li Xiangdong."
Everyone exclaimed in amazement, "Who would have thought this child is so smart!"
"He said that Mengmeng taught him this. They always play together!"
Ouch, the melon was eaten by his own child. Shu Jinyue was cheered up and thought that Mengmeng looked more like Liu Huifang, who was honest and simple, but actually very smart.
"It was just a coincidence that Niu Xiaofang was released from prison that day and was about to report to the police station. At the door, she met her son who was almost sold crying. He was smart and knew what he was going through. He told her everything clearly, and Niu Xiaofang was so angry that she came back to fight Aunt Niu."
"Aunt Niu came back the next day and said that she was just cooperating with the investigation and would deal with her after the results came out. But Lao Limei was never released. The police even went to their No. 8 Courtyard to understand the situation and searched her house. It is said that they found a lot of good things!"
"Guangda Unity is such a thick stack!" The person who spoke gestured vigorously, and everyone was amazed.
"I only know her as a widow who has a hard life and wears ordinary clothes. I've never seen her eat out, but she's so rich! The money must have come from an illegal source."
"Of course, the police have already investigated their factory. She earns less than 30 yuan a month. Even if she doesn't eat or drink, she can't save up that much money. Besides, she..."
"What's wrong? Tell me now!"
"There was a gold watch hidden in her underwear. It was pure gold."
Everyone gasped, "How do you know it's gold?"
"The kid from the Zhang family in their compound saw it with his own eyes. He said the golden light was so dazzling that it would definitely break a person's teeth if he took a bite of it."
"Hiss... A widow who hid so much money and valuables. I think there's no need to try this case. Just sentence her directly. She is a human trafficker. How could she get so much money if she didn't sell her children?"
The family whose child was abducted in Xinghua Hutong, after hearing that human traffickers had appeared in Liuye Hutong, called all their relatives to the police station to seek justice. They begged to see Lao Limei and ask if she had any clues about their son.
Up to this point, no one has linked her to the disappearance of the child, which shows that people with normal values would not have thought that she was such a bad person.
Surprisingly, Aunt Li, who had nothing to do with the child selling incident, was also called in to cooperate with the investigation. It was said that this was because she had close contacts with Lao Limei and they were friends as confirmed by many people.
Aunt Li was also scared. After going there once, she stood in the courtyard with her hands on her hips and cursed: "He is such a heartless person. God will punish him with five thunderbolts. He is so young and healthy, but he did this. He also caused trouble for me and was taken to the police station."
"If anyone ever says I'm friends with a human trafficker again, I'll tear her mouth apart!"
Aunt Zhao was so angry. "Oh my god, isn't it you who invites people to your house to eat pig heads every day, and you who send them white steamed buns every day? When you want to get benefits from others, you keep saying 'Little Lao Sister', but once someone is caught, you call them human traffickers, right?"
Aunt Li's chest was heaving up and down because of the blockage. "I admit that I was... thinking about that... Anyway, these are two different things. Anyway, she is a human trafficker and she should be struck by lightning and go to hell."
She firmly stated her position, and everyone stopped arguing with her and started to verbally attack Lao Limei. Everyone firmly believed that Li Xiangdong would not make a mistake. He had been investigating human traffickers for so many years, and the fact that he could shout it out in front of so many people meant that it must be 90% correct.
Aunt Li was not acting out her determination in public, she was really angry. She thought she could get some money from Lao Limei, but she ended up losing more than she gained. Thinking of the many pig heads and steamed buns she had lost, she felt so distressed that she bled. Then she remembered that she was actually a human trafficker, and Aunt Li's imagination started to run wild -
Was it that Luo Limei approached her on her own initiative because she also wanted to take advantage of her eldest grandson?
Although her son and daughter-in-law have moved out, they visit her every month, buy her rice and noodles and prepare daily necessities. They fix anything that is broken and send her to the hospital if she feels unwell. After living together for so many years, she finds that this is pretty good. She doesn't dislike her daughter-in-law so much anymore.
As a result, she loved her eldest grandson even more.
Every time her eldest grandson came back, she wanted to take out her heart and liver and feed him to him.
Luo Limei's next target might be to kidnap her eldest grandson! How could Laicai, that weakling, be as strong and handsome as her eldest grandson?
No matter how you look at it, her eldest grandson is in danger.
This danger was brought by Lao Limei. Aunt Li was so angry that she couldn't sleep for several days. She didn't dare to tell her son about it. She could only follow her grandson on the way to and from school every day to protect him.
***
More than half a month passed, and Lao Limei's case had not been fully investigated, but Jin Yue met two unexpected people.
The old couple from the Wang family actually came again, and they even hired a truck to move all their belongings over.
Shu Jinyue was a little surprised, but he quickly understood. He guessed that Old Wang had thought it through and accepted the olive branch from Shilan Provincial Hospital. She felt puzzled as to why Mo Shuyi hadn't told her about this. She had even told him after the phone call that day that she would wait for news.
"How is Aunt Wang's health lately?"
"Very good, everything is fine, except a little tired, everything else is fine!"
Given the sequelae of long-term high fever, it was a medical miracle that she managed to survive for a year. "It's okay to be a little tired. You will get better as time goes by."
"Xiao Shu, can you prescribe some medicine to treat it?"
Shu Jinyue told her about the Yupingfeng granules and was about to ask where they lived and whether they had found a house close to the provincial hospital when Old Wang suddenly came up to them and said, "I have something I want to discuss with Doctor Shu."
"Please go ahead."
"What do you think of the private clinics, hospitals, or other medical institutions that are currently on the market?"
In fact, Mr. Jiang also discussed this issue with Jin Yue last year, and her answer was the same: "Everything is a double-edged sword, with advantages and disadvantages. We need to look at it dialectically. The existence and survival of private medical institutions is definitely an inevitable product of the times and social development to a certain stage."
"From the perspective of a young Chinese medicine practitioner, it is undeniable that the emergence of private medical care can solve the common diseases in most communities and streets, facilitate the medical treatment of the elderly and children, meet the needs of the masses to seek medical treatment nearby and as soon as possible, and to a certain extent alleviate the pressure on large hospitals. In the future, as the country attaches importance to basic public health projects that benefit the entire population, private medical care will also be able to assume certain roles and tasks, but there are also many hidden dangers."
Old Wang chuckled, "Oh?"
"The first thing is naturally the issue of profit-seeking." Businessmen are not philanthropists, so how can they not pursue profit?
"It is understandable to pursue profits, but it must be under macro-control, there must be supervision and management, there must be rules and red lines, and it must be made in a proper way."
There is no need to go into details. Everyone in this industry knows that as the spring breeze of reform and opening up has blown across China, people's hearts have become as restless as the spring breeze. There is nothing wrong with pursuing money and interests, but the methods are wrong. "Doctors" like Xiao Lin and Qi Jingtian only have interests in their eyes. Do they have a humanitarian spirit? Have they created social value and social effects?
If such people control the private medical sector, then whether medical care should be socialist or capitalist will become a national topic... Just like the first two years of reform and opening up, there were heated discussions everywhere in factories, alleys, schools, and parks.
They had all come through this period of time, so there was no need to say much. The more they talked, the deeper they got into it, and the more they got along, they ended up chatting for two hours.
Fortunately, Jin Yue was not on duty today. She just came to work and chatting did not affect the patient's treatment. And this conversation will also bring a different life to Shu Jinyue.
***
Shu Jinyue was still a little confused until he got home. Could it be that Old Wang had been holding it in for so long, was he planning on coming up with such a big trick? Did he overestimate Shu Jinyue? Did he overestimate her in terms of both her character and ability?
Jin Yue did not doubt her own abilities and character. She just felt that in the eyes of Old Wang, who had seen a lot of ups and downs, she should not be considered a powerful figure. But she was really surprised that he actually made such a request.
"What? You want to open a hemodialysis center?"
"Did Doctor Wang come up with this idea?"
"Is it the old man who had been making things difficult for you in Beijing? He invited you out. Was he setting a trap for you?"
At night, when the whole family was together, Jin Yue's "bomb" stunned everyone.
Shu Jinyue nodded and shook his head: "Old Wang is actually a very principled person, and he wouldn't set a trap for me. When I heard his suggestion, I was a little overwhelmed."
"Wait, can you tell me first, what is this hemodialysis center for?"
"To put it simply, when many kidney diseases reach the end stage, the kidney function is very poor and cannot excrete water and toxins in the blood. At this time, a machine is needed to ensure the patient's life safety while leading the blood outside the body, filtering and screening it outside, filtering out excess water and toxins, and then returning it to the patient's body..." Balabala, "In short, it is like giving the whole body of blood a bath outside the body."
The Shu family was stunned when they heard this. "What kind of disease is so... so... uh, cruel?"
In their view, their blood is drawn out, washed outside, and then transported back into the body. The human body is like a deflated ball. Wouldn't it turn into a mummy during that period of time? Can he really survive? It's creepy no matter how you think about it.
It turns out that they didn't listen to a word Jin Yue said after explaining the science for a long time, and they were just busy imagining. Zhao Wanqiu immediately retorted: "This is not cruel. How can saving lives be cruel?"
Jin Yue thought for a moment, "Does everyone still remember the nephew that Aunt Zhao went to her hometown with not long ago?"
It was the nephew who died of advanced uremia in his prime. Everyone still remembered him. “Could it be that this dialysis you are talking about is specifically for treating this disease?”
Shu Jinyue nodded, "It mainly treats this, of course, other kidney and hematology related diseases can also be treated."
But at present, there is no decent hemodialysis center in Shilan Province. Jin Yue asked Zhang Zhen about it a few days ago. The municipal hospital had done it for a period of time, but the technology was limited and it was only suitable for very simple diseases. It could not handle slightly more complicated cases because the startup cost was too high and there were too few patients. After losing money for a period of time, they suggested that patients go to other provinces and stopped this business.
In the future, even county-level hospitals will be able to master this technology. However, now even provincial-level hospitals cannot carry it out. It is hard to understand.
"I plan to cooperate with Director Wang. I will provide the funds and venue, and he will provide the technology and personnel. He will have the final say on how to arrange and operate the business."
Shu Jinyue did this on the one hand because she didn't want Shilan Province to be blank in this technology, and on the other hand she also regarded it as an investment. She did not pursue huge profits, as long as the profits were reasonable and could benefit the country and the people, what was wrong with that?
"It just so happens that I have bought some houses facing the street in recent years. I am going to transform the single-family building on South Street into a dialysis center."
Jin Yue has accumulated quite a bit of property over the years, and most of it has been rented out to earn rent, leaving only a few buildings with very advantageous locations. She hasn't figured out what she wants to do with herself yet, and after careful selection she just happened to keep the building on South Street. Isn't it coming in handy now?
On the way back, Xu Duan already knew her plan and agreed with it almost completely: "I'll go and coordinate with the policy, but will the small building have enough space?"
The floor area is 300 square meters, but it only has two floors. Since it aims to be the first private dialysis center in the province, we have to consider the long term. When the number of patients increases in the future, the small area will also limit its development.
"Yes, I also plan to open a clinic there, a branch, so to speak. I'm recruiting doctors recently just for this purpose."
Her clinic opposite the San Department Store is now completely saturated because there are limited spaces, doctors, pharmacists, and cashiers. She cannot accommodate any more patients. If she wants to continue to increase the number of patients she treats, she must expand its scale, both in terms of space and staff.
"That small building is not enough for just a dialysis center, because I don't just want to simply choose two rooms and put a few machines there. I also want to equip it with the corresponding departments."
"What departments are needed?"
"It would be best if there is a professional nephrology department, but if there is none, forget it. At least there should be a medical record department, an equipment department, and a hospital infection control department. If conditions permit, we can also set up a laboratory department, a radiology department, a pharmacy department, and a rescue room. Although these testing tasks can be entrusted to external units, it is most reassuring to master them in our own hands."
Everyone didn't understand, but felt that what she said made sense.
"Another point is that unlike current clinics, dialysis centers also need to prepare emergency power supply or power generation equipment, because the operation of dialysis machines cannot be separated from power supply. If there is a power outage one day, wouldn't it be harmful to people?"
Everyone nodded, this is the truth.
"Another thing is that the treatment area, processing room, waiting area, and reception area should all be separated. We can't do it as sloppily as in a clinic. We also need a storage room and a sewage treatment area... By the way, an independent garbage passage must be set up for sewage treatment..." blah blah, after counting all these, Jin Yue felt that two floors were not enough. What's more, she wanted to open a traditional Chinese medicine clinic, so that area was not enough at all.
Xu Duan and Shu Wenming looked at each other and suddenly said, "In this case, why not do it on a larger scale?"
"How big is it? Isn't what Jin Yue said big enough?" Shu Linong's head hurt after listening to this. With so many departments and hardware facilities, he didn't know how much space they would take up. The key point was, how much would it cost?
“Open a comprehensive private hospital.”
