19. Matters of Indemnification
The waiting process was the most terrifying, I stood in the corridor with my mother's shoulders in my arms, and it was not until near night that Lao Tao was pushed out of the operating room, I saw that Lao Tao, who had always been vigorous, closed his eyes tightly, his face was like ashes, and the wall in his heart suddenly collapsed at this moment.
I always felt that my old Tao didn't deserve such a tribulation.
The doctor said: "Temporarily out of danger, but whether he can wake up or not depends on the willpower of the injured person, if he can wake up within tomorrow is the best, you know, the more hope there is."
I squeezed Lao Tao's hand and said firmly, "He will wake up."
My mother accompanied Lao Tao in the ward, and I went to the wards of several other workers, and none of them were as seriously injured as Lao Tao, at least their consciousness was clear.
As soon as I stepped into the ward, they gave Lao Tao a hat and said, "The main responsibility for this incident is your father, the mine was too large to receive water to cause a small area to collapse, and your father was in charge of the pumping of the mine yesterday."
I asked good-naturedly: "The person in charge of the company will first come forward in the accident in the mine, no matter who is responsible, they will discuss the issue of compensation as soon as possible, why do you want to block my father?"
"The people in the mine will not be responsible, because after all, this is a personal mistake, let's just tell you frankly, we are a mine with a high salary, and the condition for receiving a high salary is to sign a safety agreement, and the company will not be responsible for any problems caused by individuals."
The leader explained to me and said, "Eldest niece, eight of our twelve workers are injured, and the medical expenses are a basket, and we can't afford it ourselves, so we have to look for your father."
"I'll talk about it when my dad wakes up." I walked up to them and examined their wounds and said, "Your wounds are quite serious, and there are several broken bones, so don't move around at will, you have to listen to the doctor's arrangement, and now everyone is taking care of their injuries."
The leader said, "You are a man who understands."
This group of workers is not unreasonable people, everyone is just for their own interests, and the ins and outs of this matter have not been clarified, everything can only be talked about when Lao Tao wakes up.
I will believe whatever Lao Tao says!
No one is allowed to wronged Lao Tao.
As soon as I returned to the ward, my mother asked me about the worker's situation, and I told her truthfully and comforted her: "Don't think about it, the most important thing now is to wait for Lao Tao to regain consciousness, and we are all here with Lao Tao."
I checked the injuries on Lao Tao's body, most of them were scratches, and the brain impact caused a coma...... It was possible that there would be bruising inside, so I immediately got up and went to get Lao Tao's CT report.
There was indeed bruising, and the doctor said it had been cleaned up.
Lao Tao's will is firm, he woke up leisurely in the middle of the night, I was pleasantly surprised to hold his hand, he slowed down for a long time and used a little force to hold my hand, and said softly: "You rabbit cub still know to go back to the town to see me, yes, worthy of my life-hurting girl."
I red-eyed, clasped his hand and asked, "Is there anything wrong with your body?" What really happened during the day? ”
Speaking of this, Lao Tao's face was embarrassed, he was silent for a long time, and said uncomfortably: "It's my fault, yesterday I was in charge of the pumping situation of the mine, but because I was tired and slept over, I forgot about this stubble when I woke up the next day, and they collapsed within an hour of entering the mine."
Lao Tao's face was full of guilt, I pursed my lips, and asked clearly: "So the responsibility they said is really you?"
"Well, it's my fault." Lao Tao sighed and said, "I used to be a businessman, so I know what to face next...... Have they approached you about compensation? Although the company will not be responsible for this matter, they will not be able to escape if there is a lawsuit, but your old Tao is a trustworthy person, since I have signed that security agreement, then I must be responsible...... I haven't told you that I actually earn more than seven thousand a month. ”
I poked and said, "You said you only have a salary of four thousand a month."
"The company asked me to sign a security agreement, and if I signed that contract, I would get an extra 3,000 yuan in salary, and the 3,000 was left to you...... I've always thought that if you needed money that day, I could give you a hand, but now ...... Son, it's Lao Tao who is sorry for you and let you live such a hard life. ”
I reminded him, "I'm a girl in your family, and you don't have a son." ”
Lao Tao's eyes were red and tears flowed, I reached out and wiped it softly and comforted: "Besides, you are my Lao Tao, what are you sorry for me?" Your peace is the most important thing to me, ...... I'm sorry for making you worry about me all the time. ”
Since Lao Tao is in charge of this matter, I will not refuse, because even if we refuse, those workers will not let us go.
And the responsibility is indeed on Lao Tao.
Lao Tao has responsibility, and as his daughter, I have to be even more responsible!
When I was in the morning, I talked to them about compensation in the ward, except for the eight workers who only had to pay for medical expenses for minor injuries, my old Tao still needed to pay 230,000 yuan, including lost work expenses, mental damage expenses, and medical expenses...... There's all sorts of mess.
Lost work expenses and medical expenses are calculated by lawyers, so there is no big problem, mental damage expenses...... In fact, most of the workers didn't want it, but a few didn't give up.
I told Lao Tao the total amount of money, and Lao Tao was silent for a while, and said with a dejected face: "The family's savings are at most 100,000 yuan."
Yes, 230,000 is an astronomical amount for us.
But this astronomical amount is imminent!
Follow-up medical expenses and everything need to be paid immediately!
We were in a predicament, but I still comforted Lao Tao and said, "I will find a way to make money, and the most important thing for you now is to recuperate your injuries."
I was very hesitant in my heart, and I also felt that the pressure was gradually engulfing me, I called the military hospital to ask for a three-day leave, and then called Yu Jian, but I hung up before I could connect.
Yu Jian's life is also difficult, and she is overwhelmed by the monthly mortgage and car loan, and she meets Xu Qingwen again.
Xu Qingwen will only exploit Yu Jian.
When I was hesitating, my phone rang, and I looked down and saw an unfamiliar number, which was local.
I answered, "Are you?"
The other party said coldly: "Gu Tingsheng."
I sighed and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
He asked in a cool tone, "Where?"
"Hometown, accompany my dad."
Gu Tingsheng let out an "um" and asked in a soft tone: "The dean called my grandfather and said that you took a three-day leave, did you encounter any difficulties?"
I didn't expect that the dean turned out to be Gu Tingsheng's grandfather's eyeliner, and I didn't expect that Gu Tingsheng's grandfather was still thinking about me, and even called Gu Tingsheng to tell him my whereabouts.
I was silent, tormenting whether to tell him or not.
As if understanding my hesitation, Gu Tingsheng said in a cold tone: "Tao Yuwei, you can choose not to tell me, but when I want to know something, it's easy."
I can hide Gu Tingsheng's identity that I am his wife until now, in the final analysis, he disdains to investigate my identity, but when he is serious, it is simply whimsical to want to hide from him.
I quickly confessed: "My dad had an accident and is in the hospital."
Gu Tingsheng paused, was silent for a long time and asked, "Address."
I told him the truth, and then asked, "Are you in the army?"
He hung up directly.
“……”
Gu Tingsheng asked for an address, would he come?
When I realized this, I suddenly began to look forward to it...... I'm looking forward to having someone with me when things happen.
I opened the door and returned to the ward, Lao Tao raised his eyes and stared at me for a long time and said, "Wei'er, I will give them an IOU, this matter is not your turn at all, don't cause these troubles at your young age."
"Lao Tao, you have always protected me before, and now when you need me, how can I be afraid of trouble?"
I've never been afraid of anything but what I want to protect.
I reached out to my stomach, there used to be a little life here that I wanted to protect, but he ...... Just stayed here for two months.
At this time, my mother suddenly said to Lao Tao with a white face: "This debt can't be deducted on Wei'er's head, now you should go back to Lao Tao's house for the sake of your daughter!"
Lao Tao suddenly lost his temper and said: "Shut up, don't mention Lao Tao's family!"
