Chapter Forty-Eight: No Room
Bai Lotian was like a fire burning on his head, pressing the accelerator to the end, and the car was like a spotted leopard chasing its prey, roaring all the way through the ridges and green crops.
It was supposed to take more than two hours to drive, but after only an hour and 20 minutes, Bai Letian's car had turned into the parking lot of Jinfu People's Hospital. As soon as the car stopped, Bai Lotian jumped down, followed the instructions on the ground, and ran quickly to the emergency room.
The elevator was too slow, and Bai Lotian trotted down the stairs all the way to the emergency room on the left side of the hall on the first floor.
When he walked into the crowded hall on the first floor and saw the blue sign in the emergency room, he saw a group of people standing at the door from a distance, looking anxious, turning around, constantly looking inside through the crack in the door.
Bai Lotian pushed aside the crowd and walked over quickly, and his mother, who was dressed in mud-stained clothes, was standing on tiptoe to look in.
Bai Lotian walked to the door, and when his mother looked back and saw him, tears immediately welled up in her eyes, and she ran over to hug him and whimpered for a while.
"Son, you're here, you're scared to death Mom, what can you do now?" Mom said in a choked voice.
Bai Lotian hugged his mother, tears dripping on her gray hair, "What's going on inside, don't be afraid, mom, there is me." ”
"I fell off the six-meter-high platform and am undergoing surgery, what can I do in the future, who do your grandparents rely on? Mom cried.
"They all blame me, kid, I said it was good to tie the safety rope, but I said that I was in the way of work. Alas, if I knew this, I would have done it slowly. A middle-aged man with a scruffy beard next to him sighed and said.
"This is your Uncle Zhang. Mom said, pointing to the man.
Bai Lotian knew that this was the contractor of the same village, and when he saw him, he had a sad face, but what could he say.
"Lao Bai's injury, I must show him, it is to smash the pot and sell iron, we will not be a bad seed, don't worry, sister-in-law. Lao Zhang touched his brown chin and said.
Bai Lotian sighed, did not speak, looked at the sign on the door frame showing the words "during surgery", his lips jumped tightly, as if he saw his father lying on the operating table in pain.
"What can I do, how can I do this. Another old man in a gray shirt with a belt tied outside kept muttering, and it seemed that he should be a colleague who worked with Bai Lotian's father.
Just when everyone was worried, the door of the operating room opened, and a doctor wearing a green surgical gown and a surgical cap walked out of the door, holding a piece of paper in his hand, standing at the door and shouting: "Which is Bai Shengli's family?"
"I am!" Bai Lotian and his mother replied at the same time. Several people gathered around, looked at the doctor, and asked eagerly, "Is the operation over?"
"It's not over yet. Because the knee is a comminuted fracture and the rib bone is cracked, the risk is very high, and the family member needs to sign a preoperative confirmation form. The thin-faced doctor rolled his eyelids and said, as if by reciting a mathematical formula.
"Is it in great danger?" asked Bai Letian's mother in a trembling voice, the hand holding Bai Letian's arm shaking constantly.
"We will definitely do our best to avoid similar problems, but the family must sign for it. The doctor took the paper and continued to explain.
"Okay, I see, thank you, doctor. Bai Lotian took a pen and paper and wrote his name on the signature.
"The family members went to the payment office to pay 30,000 yuan in advance. After the doctor finished speaking, he picked up the signed book and walked back to the operating room.
After seeing the doctor leave, my mother turned to look at Lao Zhang, and then looked at the payment office.
Lao Zhang's face was red with embarrassment, he turned out the pockets of his jacket with both hands, patted and patted, and said in a whisper: "Sister-in-law, Lotte, I just paid a deposit of 5,000 yuan, I really don't have any money now, I must borrow it when I go back." After saying that, he squatted on the ground, holding his head with both hands, his fingers in his hair, and said nothing.
"What can I do?" cried my mother.
Bai Lotian gritted his teeth, kept rubbing his hands, glanced at Lao Zhang who was squatting on the ground in disgust, and finally stomped his feet and said, "I'll pay the money and save my life first." ”
Mom grabbed his arm, "You have so much money, we don't do anything bad, you just worked." ”
"Don't worry, Mom, it's not stealing, I'll swipe the overdraft card first, and I'll pay it back next month, don't make a mistake." Bai Lotian patted his mother's shoulder and comforted.
"Next month, you won't have that much money. Mom looked at Bai Lotian with a puzzled face.
"Save lives first, and don't think about the rest. Bai Lotian said with a firm gaze.
"The eldest nephew just has a lot of ideas, and he has seen the world. There was an appreciative look in the old man's eyes.
At this time, Lao Zhang, who was squatting on the ground, stood up suddenly, held Bai Letian's hand with both hands, and kept shaking, "You can help my uncle get through this difficulty, thank you too much, too, thank you so much, my whole family is grateful to you." Lao Zhang's mouth trembled, his face was covered with tears, and his teeth bit his lips red.
Bai Lotian sighed, pulled out his hand, walked to the payment office at the end of the corridor, touched the overdraft card in his trouser pocket, lined up behind a group of people, and looked at the people in the payment office.
