The call was from a well-wisher from the hospital, Dumb's grandfather Lao Wangtou had a traffic accident and injured his leg, and is now in Beilu People's Hospital.

By the time Dumb arrived, Lao Wangtou had already been admitted to the orthopedic ward, and the preliminary examination had ended: a fracture in his right leg and other soft tissue contusions.

Dumb learned the general story of the incident from the old king:

At noon, Lao Wangtou rode a tricycle, was rushing home, on the North Avenue non-motorized vehicle, was suddenly rammed by a black car, the vehicle escaped on the spot, a kind young man stopped the car, helped call the police, and called an ambulance, the good Samaritan sent the old Wang Tou to the hospital, and paid for the old Wang Tou to go through the hospitalization procedures. This kind-hearted man, seeing that Lao Wangtou did not have Dumb's mobile phone number (in fact, Dumb did not have a mobile phone), and helped find the phone number of Dumb's unit, so he contacted Dumb. Later, the traffic police called the hospital and said that the vehicle involved in the accident had been found, and the driver admitted to the accident. And the kind-hearted man stayed with the old king until Ah Dumb arrived, and then he left quietly, and he didn't even leave his name.

After listening to his grandfather's story, Dumb lost his mind for a while: It's so dangerous, fortunately, grandpa's life is not in danger. I want to find a chance to thank this kind person.

Dumb quietly accompanied the old king, talking.

"Grandpa, what do you want to eat, I'll go out and buy it for you."

"You can eat anything, you can go out and eat by yourself first, it's not too early, you must be hungry."

"Grandpa is fine, why don't you go home and rest first? You're going to work, and you're going back to work tomorrow? ”

"I'm on leave."

"The family's money is in the old place, you wait to go back and get some, by the way, the person who sent me to the hospital paid us in advance, you take the money tomorrow, hurry up and pay him back first."

"Got it."

"Grandpa is fine, it's just that his foot is scratched a little skin, just rest for a few days."

Dumb went out to buy a bowl of noodles, gave it to the old king, and then went home to get the money.

That night, Dumb accompanied Lao Wang in the hospital.

Early the next morning, the attending doctor came over and said to Dumb: "According to the film, the patient has a fractured right leg and needs to arrange surgery as soon as possible, so you can wait and pay 10,000 yuan in advance." ”

The doctor finished and left. Dumb was left alone in a daze: 10,000 yuan! But he took all the money from the family, and it was only more than 3,000 yuan. What to do?

"Doctor, can you pay less of this money first, for example, give it to 3,000 first, and help my grandfather do the operation first, and we will definitely make up for it then." Dumb caught up with the doctor and asked cautiously.

"This can't work, the hospital has regulations, you must pay the money first, and then arrange the operation, 10,000 yuan, not much, hurry up and prepare." By the way, the condition of the patient's leg, if the time is delayed for a long time, I am afraid that the fracture will be sticky, and it will be troublesome at that time. The doctor left without looking back.

Dumb caught up again and pleaded several times, hoping that the hospital could operate first and pay the fee at that time, but the doctor did not agree.

Dumb didn't dare to tell his grandfather that the money for the operation was not enough, so he had to figure out a way by himself.

"Since the driver who caused the accident was caught, he hit the person, and he should pay for it." Thinking of this, Dumb found the traffic police team and explained his intentions.

The reception of the traffic police team dumb said:

"Civil compensation is not under the control of our traffic police, we only deal with accident liability. I'll give you the phone number of the driver who caused the accident, and you can contact it yourself. ”

Dumb called the driver who caused the accident, identified himself, and hoped that the other party would pay for the operation for his grandfather first, but the other party directly refused: "The traffic police team has not yet determined the responsibility for the accident, it is not necessarily my responsibility, even if it is my responsibility, the loss of money will be compensated by the insurance company, it is useless for you to call me, I can't pay you medical expenses now." Just go through the legal process. ”

Obviously, the other party is a knowledgeable person, Dumb doesn't know anything about traffic accident compensation and paying medical expenses, etc., but he doesn't know how to answer for a while, so he has to implore the other party to help him pay for the operation first, and he really doesn't have the money to do surgery for his grandfather.

The other party hung up the phone directly.

Dumb fought again, and the other party simply turned off the phone. I played many times in a row, and they were all shut down.

Back at the hospital in the afternoon, the attending doctor came to urge Dumb to pay for the operation in advance, and issued a medical notice, which probably was: If the operation is not carried out in time, what will be the terrible consequences, which need to be borne by the patient and his family.

In the corridor of the hospital, Dumb quietly shed tears alone: what to do? You must get the money, and you must heal your grandfather's leg.

Lao Wang's left leg is already a little lame, if this is the right leg...... What's more, the treatment was delayed because of lack of money, and Dumb would not let this result happen.

In desperation, Dumb had to find the traffic police team again. I hope that the traffic police will help contact the driver who caused the accident and let the other party pay the medical bills in advance.

A police officer Liu told Dumb: "Judging from the facts of the case, the other party is involved in a traffic hit-and-run, and the responsibility for the accident must be fully responsible for the accident, and the liability for compensation is first paid by the third party's compulsory insurance, and the excess part is borne by the other party or the other party's insurance company, but whether these compensations are mediation or prosecution, they must wait until the treatment is completed, and then proceed according to the procedures. It's up to you to figure it out.

Of course, if the other party constitutes a traffic accident, then our traffic police can take compulsory measures against the driver who caused the accident, but in this case, your grandfather is not seriously injured and cannot meet the standard of the crime of traffic accident, so we can't take compulsory measures against the driver who caused the accident, and I don't know if you understand? ”

Dumb didn't understand much, but he had no choice but to leave the traffic police team.

He went to the Internet café Qiandu to search, and also understood a general idea, the other party refused to pay the medical bills in advance, there is no way to solve it through the traffic police team, and the other party refused to answer the phone, now he has no time, and his grandfather's surgery is imminent.

Now we have to hurry up and get the money first, do the surgery on my grandfather's leg first, and talk about other things later.

Borrow money? Soon Dumb thought of a solution.

So Dumb remembered all the acquaintances who could borrow money, the operation needed 10,000 yuan, and now he has 3,000, and 7,000 less, and he tried to borrow 7,000 yuan. If you can, it's best to borrow more money first, and you should need money for subsequent treatments.

Dumb has found several scrap yards, because he often sells scrap to them, so he and the owners of several scrap yards know each other.

As soon as he heard about borrowing money, those bosses refused, and the most generous only agreed to borrow 500 yuan, and Dumb left silently, but he was not angry or dissatisfied, others did not owe him anything, and there was no reason to lend money to himself.

Then, Dumb thought of his neighbors, and heard that Dumb went to the township government as a part-time worker, and the neighbors began to see Dumb with enthusiasm, but when they heard that Dumb was here to borrow money, they all began to be indifferent, and found various reasons to shirk it, and finally Dumb did not borrow money from his neighbors.

In the end, the only place where he could borrow money was his colleague at the workstation, and he originally wanted to call back, but thinking about it, it would be more sincere to borrow money in person.

So Dumb took a car to the riverside workstation.

Seeing Dumb coming back, my colleagues were very strange: this guy left recklessly, and suddenly came back.
