I thought I'd take it to ask and I'll be back soon.

But until he went to bed at night, Zhang Xiaokai didn't see his grandfather Ronald Sr.

Thinking that with the old man's temper, it is probably impossible to suffer, there is nothing to worry about, and he quickly falls into a sweet dream after going to bed.

The next morning, his grandfather still didn't show up, and the employees worked as usual, knowing the familiar business, and they were not afraid of not getting paid in the end.

Before the matter was clear, they decided to do this first, without the old man picking thorns on the side all day long, with a loud voice, and the mood was much more comfortable.

The sky cleared.

The cattle were re-herded to graze in the pastures, and the soil was muddy and dirty.

After several days of rain, the grass seeds sown on the hill quickly sprouted and were already covered with a layer of green.

In the season of recovery, several male cows are specially cared for, and they have recently exerted a lot of physical strength, so they lie down and rest when they have nothing to do.

Nurse Logan arrived as usual, stirred the liquid food and fed it to Daddy Zhang, who had been lying in bed for almost two months, and his health was getting worse.

Before leaving, he shone the lamp on Daddy Zhang's eyes as usual, and his pupils were obviously constricted, and his eyeballs moved.

This frightened Logan at first, and then she showed joy and pinched him with her hand, and her arm moved, so she cried out, "Sir, sir, can you hear what I'm saying, can you move your fingers?!"

Zhang Xiaokai was pouring cat food into the small bowl, and Tom, the fat cat next to him, was staring at the small bowl.

Hearing Miss Logan's shout, his hands suddenly shook, and he didn't care about feeding the cat, so he put the small bowl on the dining table, and hurriedly ran to the room, and asked excitedly, "My father is awake!?"

"Not yet, but he seems to have some senses, Matt, maybe he can wake up!"

Nurse Logan was in a hurry and panicked, "Now it's better to send your father to our hospital, where he can get better treatment and have professional doctors to help, and I'm just a nurse." ”

"Okay, please call an ambulance to pick him up!"

"I don't recommend that you do that, it's very expensive to call an ambulance, you go and call two adults to come and help, and you can drive him to the hospital yourself, you might save three or four hundred dollars.

Don't worry, your father just regained some consciousness, don't believe you. ”

Scratching the bottom of Daddy's foot with his hand, it was obvious that the leg was twitching, which showed that the limbs were already able to sense the touch, and the vegetative person could not feel anything.

With an ecstatic smile on his face, Zhang Xiaokai nodded, and immediately took out the phone and called little Patrick, asking him to find someone to come over and accompany him to the town.

……

The Ford Raptor stopped at the entrance of the hospital.

After Nurse Logan went in to explain the situation, someone quickly brought the bed and carried Daddy Zhang to it.

Little Patrick helped fill out the hospitalization procedures and prepared to be observed in the hospital for a few days in order to have better treatment, and Nurse Logan knew a lot about Daddy Zhang's situation and had already explained it to the doctor in detail.

After the examination, the middle-aged white doctor told, "Wow, things are getting better, there's a good chance he's waking up, there aren't many examples of him returning to normal from a vegetative state, but your dad is clearly a little conscious."

I'll try to stimulate him with pain later, Logan, you pull out the stomach tube, I have a classmate from medical school who is more proficient in this area, and if there are other family members present, if you agree, I will ask him to help come and have a look, and he will work in Corvallis. ”

"I'm in charge, just come over!"

After Zhang Xiaokai spoke, the doctor ignored him, and first looked at the older Mr. Kenny, who had come with him and little Patrick.

Mr. Kenny nodded and said, "Our boss didn't make it to the scene, so don't worry about the cost, we will pay as much as we need to pay." ”

The doctor then replied, "Okay, then do it, my classmate's graduation thesis was to write about vegetative recovery, and he has much more experience than me." ”

Brookings is just a small town, the level of medical care can only be regarded as average, people will go to hospitals in nearby big cities for treatment, this doctor is quite kind, and he does not treat indiscriminately.

Happy and anxious, sitting on the edge of the hospital bed looking at his father, holding his hand and scratching his palm, that little physical reaction will make him feel so distressed that he wants to cry.

Soon after, I finally remembered that Ronald Sr. was still locked up in the police station.

After asking Kenny, he said, "I'm here to help take care of your father, let little Patrick accompany you to the police station to ask about the situation, no one answered the phone?"

"Nobody, I hit twice in the morning. ”

"Matt, don't worry, maybe we're in the hospital, your grandfather has already gone back, it's not a big deal, it's impossible to stay in the police station for that long, it's going to be twenty-four hours......"

Old man's side.

He was treated directly by the ex-officio criminals.

He didn't provide tax forms to the IRS, and he still had a large amount of money flowing in his bank account, which was lucky that he wasn't caught a few years ago, but this time his luck wasn't so good.

Yesterday afternoon, he could have been released with only a small deposit, but he insisted that he had not committed any crimes, stubbornly believing that the Cleveland ranch did not need to pay taxes if it did not make money, and he also pushed and shoved with an IRS tax officer, and almost moved his fist, which is the reason why the old man has been locked up until now.

The tax collector is angry, and the stubborn old Ronald is not willing to apologize, and most of them will go to court to settle it.

Running such a large ranch and fishing farm, there is really no tax officer to help deal with the financial problem, and the old man himself doesn't understand, so he is so confused.

According to the IRS investigation, this time, including fines and interest, a total of more than 800,000 US dollars in taxes need to be paid, and if it is paid normally, it will not even be half of this amount.

In recent years, the life of farms and ranches has not been easy, and the subprime mortgage crisis of '08 has just passed, and Oregon has tax relief policies for farmers and herders, but the old man cannot enjoy this situation, and he did not apply for it within the specified time.

There is still money in the account, fines are only one aspect, and if you start to add tax evasion and tax evasion, you will definitely be sent to prison if you really investigate it, and the consequences are more serious, and it is said that the prosecution materials have been submitted.

When Zhang Xiaokai and little Patrick rushed to the police station and learned the general situation from the old man's lawyer, they were speechless, how big did they have to be to go against the people of the Federal Tax Service?

The lawyer named Gary Kane sat down at the moment and complained: "Originally, if I had a good talk, I was sure that I would have negotiated with the IRS people to settle this matter with a lower penalty, considering his age and the money to compensate, he would only pay about $550,000 at most, and now it is directly calculated according to the 100% fine of the top grid, in addition to interest."

I've really tried my best, and I can't reconcile this matter anymore, if that old family ...... Mr. Cleveland can be more gentle, and may have a few months less sentence to settle with the tax officer he beaten, but judging by Mr. Cleveland's attitude, it is difficult to apologize. ”

It sounds like old Ronald, but it's really the old man's character.

Zhang Xiaokai had a headache and asked, "If he is still like this, he will go to prison, right, how long will it take to be released?"

"For about a year to a year and a half, I have a good relationship with the judge and can help plead for mercy, but I have never met such a customer, is his head ......?"

Lawyer Gary Kane asked, this lawyer is the best in Brookingstown, fat head and big ears, usually smiling at everyone, but now he is very helpless.

I was sure to get the IRS, but I couldn't get my own client.

The old man had a strange personality, Zhang Xiaokai hesitated for a moment, thinking that mental illness could reduce his sentence, nodded and replied: "It's really not good, it's better to do an appraisal, so if he pleads guilty, apologizes and reconciles, does he still need to go to prison?"

"Probably, but I'm sure it's going to be reduced to a maximum of six months, probably only three months, and if I'm mentally unstable, maybe two months to come out, plus some community work. ”

"Well, can I meet him, preferably with my grandfather. ”

Attorney Gary told:

"There's no need, I'll be able to help him get bail later, with a bond of 100,000 US dollars, some people don't need such a high bond for robbery and arson, it seems that if they don't choose to settle, the punishment should be very heavy."

Every time the Federal Tax Service is involved in the case, the sentence is generally heavier, and the tax will be paid before the 15th of next month, so it is best to ask a good tax accountant to help, I happen to know one, you can call him and ask him to come out and meet him, and hire him to help manage the accounts......"
