Chapter 20 ■Medical Expenses
Gao Dong didn't pay much attention to it at first, until two minutes later, when his mind became dizzy and his consciousness gradually began to blur, Gao Dong was sure that he had been bitten by a poisonous snake.
It also happened that Xu Guiyun came up the mountain to deliver food at this time, and he saw Gao Dong who was lying on the ground at a glance, and hurriedly rushed to the front, and then looked at the scars on his wrists, and knew what was going on at a glance.
I have to say that Xu Guiyun is a very amazing woman, he gritted his teeth and walked down the hill with Gao Dong, who was tall and tall on his back, although he felt a strong pain in his bones, but she never gave up.
When they were about to walk to the entrance of the village, some kind-hearted village names saw Xu Guiyun walking with her husband Gao Dong on her back at a glance, and hurriedly rushed over to help.
There is no hospital in Qingshui Village, only a simple medical clinic run by an old Chinese medicine doctor named Lao Qian, and there is no antivenom for snake venom.
After a brief bandage, Gao Dong was sent to the town hospital in Dam Town for treatment.
But unfortunately, there is no antivenom in the hospital in the town, and if you want to use it urgently, you have to ask someone from Huayuan County to send it.
After the town hospital called the county hospital, the county decided to send someone to deliver it immediately, but it didn't seem to be very good luck that day.
The county's cars have not yet driven half the way, and the traffic jam began on the way, because one of the roads is being vigorously renovated and repaired, resulting in a large number of vehicles being stranded in place for a long time, about more than an hour.
Obviously, it was only a two-hour drive at the earliest, but after such a delay, it dragged on for nearly four hours, and when the antidote arrived in Dam Town, it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and Gao Dong had fallen into a coma at this time, and his whole arm was black and swollen.
Xu Guiyun knelt in the hospital crying and begging the doctors in the hospital to cure her husband Gao Dong, that scene was all moving, liver and intestines were broken, and even a few familiar old people in Qingshui Village were kind enough to come to condolence after hearing that Gao Dong was bitten by a poisonous snake, and when they saw such a scene, they couldn't help but cry.
However, Xu Guiyun's move was not without returns, on the contrary, a doctor surnamed Zhang, who has 40 years of senior medical skills, promised to try to see if he could cure Gao Dong.
After continuous treatment and rescue, Gao Dong miraculously recovered, and the snake venom was removed, and now there is no major problem.
And the credit for all this is thanks to the superb doctor Zhang, after all, it has been several hours and he has been cured, it can be said that this Gao Dong has picked up a life from the door of death.
However, a new difficulty arose, although Gao Dong was cured after some treatment, the cost of treatment was as high as more than 50,000 yuan.
For Gao Dong, a poor family, the annual income is pitiful, and Gao Daquan has already gone to college, not to mention whether the annual tuition fee can be paid, the annual fee alone has to spend at least 30,000 yuan, where is the extra money to buy medicine and treat the disease.
After listening to Xu Guiyun's words, Gao Daquan's heart seemed to be pulled up with a big hand, and he was uneasy, painful, anxious, and helpless like a steel needle piercing his heart.
Faced with a large amount of medical expenses owed in the hospital, this undoubtedly pushed the parents into a bottomless abyss.
Thinking of this, Gao Daquan made a decision immediately, and since then, he will go out to work part-time every Saturday and weekend to earn some money to reduce the burden on his family.
"Mom, you let the hospital slow down first, and I will definitely find a way to pay back the hospital's treatment fees for our family." Gao Daquan comforted Xu Guiyun on the other end of the phone.
"Quanzi, Mom thought about it, you don't have to worry about money, if you really can't help it, it's a big deal to sell the family's land, you have to study hard in college." ”
"Eh, I got my mom. ”
"Okay, Quanzi, then let's do it first, the phone bill is more expensive, Mom will hang up first. ”
"Mom, I still have 6,000 yuan here, I'll send it to you tomorrow. ”
"I said, Quanzi, where did you get the six thousand yuan? Isn't there something bad?" Xu Guiyun's words carried a hint of reproach, and at the same time there was a tone of suspicion.
"Mom, where do you want to go? This is what I earn outside every Saturday and Sunday! The boss of the house sees that I am doing well, and I am very broad. Gao Daquan naturally wouldn't say that the six thousand yuan was compensated by Ali to himself.
"Really, you didn't lie to Mom?"
"Really! How dare I lie to you!"
"That's good, Mom, I believe you once, but you usually do things for people outside, but you have to be careful, you must do it seriously, don't leave a tongue for others, so that you don't have trouble. ”
"Well, knowing Mom, you can rest assured!"
"Okay, Quanzi, you have to take care of yourself, Mom is still busy taking care of your dad. ”
As soon as he hung up the phone, the first thought in Gao Daquan's mind was to go outside to find a part-time job.
In the face of the huge medical expenses owed by the family, my father and mother must have a hard time, and if I don't help share some of them, I am afraid that I will not be able to continue to pay the tuition fees for the next semester.
Gao Daquan glanced at the calendar on the wall, it was Friday today, and it seemed that he could go out and walk around now to see if there were suitable part-time jobs to do.
Thinking of this, Gao Daquan tidied up a little in front of the mirror, combed his hair again, and then walked out of the dormitory.
After all, it's to find a job, and your image can't be too sloppy in front of outsiders, Gao Daquan knows that sometimes in order to get a certain job, in the eyes of others, it depends on whether you are pleasing to the eye.
After leaving the school gate, I walked on the bustling streets in a short time, and Gao Daquan shuttled through the crowded metropolis without a clue, but his eyes were always looking at the luxurious shops that were renovated one by one.
No matter what kind of store it is, as long as there is a sign at the door, Gao Daquan will walk in and politely inquire if there is a need for recruitment.
But after asking several stores in succession, I never got the ideal job, because when people heard that Gao Da only did two days on weekends, they shook their heads and said that they only recruited full-time employees.
I can't remember how many streets I have walked, Gao Daquan's heart began to feel a little frustrated, what he didn't expect was that it would be so difficult to find an ordinary job.
After a short walk forward, Gao Daquan found a brightly lit building not far ahead.
As far as the eye can see, there is a colorful lantern hanging on the wall of the building, and several large billboards of "Imperial City Mass Selling KTV" are particularly eye-catching, and there is also a recruitment billboard with yellow characters on a red background under one of the pillars of the building.
At this time, a large number of vehicles had been parked in front of a huge parking lot in front of the Imperial City KTV building, and a team of security guards were scattered in all corners, honestly watching the cars for the rich.
Although Gao Daquan doesn't understand cars, he can at least see that those cars are relatively expensive, and they are all cars driven by wealthy people.
