Chapter 269: A call from the hospital
Hu Jianqiang, who breathed a sigh of relief, was just about to put the mobile phone back, but the mobile phone rang again.
Hu Jianqiang thought that the call was from Xu Tiancai, and he didn't finish talking to Hu Mingchen about something, but when he looked at the phone, the caller was an unfamiliar landline number, so he answered it himself.
"Hey, hello, who are you looking for?"
"Are you Hu Jianqiang?" The other party did not answer Hu Jianqiang's question, but asked him a rhetorical question, and the question was a little blunt.
Hu Jianqiang was stunned for a moment, and his voice became stiff: "I am, who are you, what is the matter with me?"
"I'm here at the Municipal People's Hospital, do you know a man named Hu Youling and a man named Guo Wenlong?" the other party replied.
"Acquaintance, what's wrong with them?" As soon as he heard the names of Hu Youling and Guo Wenlong, and the fact that they were called by the Municipal People's Hospital, Hu Jianqiang was nervous.
It's not a good thing that the Municipal People's Hospital called to find it. One of the calls that ordinary people are most reluctant to receive is the police station of the Public Security Bureau, and the other is the hospital. Calls from these two places are often a sign that something bad is happening.
Later, telephone scams became popular, and those scammers often called the victims by impersonating these two units. Under the tension and worry, the victim is prone to lose basic rational judgment and is thus intimidated and coerced out of money.
"The two of them were injured and sent to our hospital, since you know them, then hurry up and come to the hospital to take care of them, by the way, by the way, bring the hospitalization fee. Said on the other end of the phone.
"How were they injured, how were they injured, and they were not serious...... Hu Jianqiang asked in a series of uneasy questions.
"You'll know if you come quickly, I don't know the specifics, remember, the third floor of the inpatient department. After speaking, the conversation hung up the phone without waiting for Hu Jianqiang to continue to inquire about the situation.
"Third uncle, what's wrong? Who was injured?" When Hu Jianqiang hung up the phone, Hu Mingchen asked.
"Hey, it was said that your three sons and Lao Guo were injured and hospitalized, and the phone was called from the People's Hospital, telling me to take care of them and send the hospitalization fee quickly. Why are they injured?" replied Hu Jianqiang with a sigh.
Lao Guo is Guo Wenlong, this Guo Wenlong is a car owner, and Hu Youling helped her sell tickets for sports cars before. But now Guo Wenlong's shuttle bus was sold by him, and he bought a truck instead, and went to run the truck, and Hu Youling also followed.
At the beginning, the relationship between Hu Youling and Guo Wenlong was relatively simple, that is, the relationship between the employer and the employed. But I don't know when it started, the relationship between the two has become extraordinary, and it can even be said that Hu Youling has become Guo Wenlong's junior.
Guo Wenlong is a family man, and he is more than ten years older than Hu Youling. Regarding their gradually changing relationship, not only Hu Jianqiang was aware of it, but even Zhong Ying couldn't hide it.
For this reason, Zhong Ying once scolded Hu Youling a few times and quarreled with each other a few times.
However, it is said that the IQ of a woman who falls in love is very low, which is true. Even if Guo Wenlong has a family, the age difference between the two is so much, but Hu Youling is a ghost, and no matter how Zhong Ying scolds, it doesn't work.
Perhaps it is also for this reason that Guo Wenlong transferred the shuttle bus to others, so that he no longer had to run this route in Duge Township, but instead ran a large truck. And Hu Youling was obsessed, and the posture was that she would follow Guo Wenlong wherever he went, and proved this with the actual action of running away from home.
Speaking of which, Hu Mingchen hasn't seen his third aunt for a while.
"No matter, since the hospital is calling, let's go and take a look, let's go, I'll go with you." Hu Mingchen said.
"Then you prepare first, and I'll go down and tell your grandma. Hu Jianqiang stood up and was about to go home.
"No, third uncle, you stop, you can't tell grandma. Hu Mingchen grabbed Hu Jianqiang.
"Why don't you tell her, in case there are three long and two short, don't tell her what the old man does. ”
"Third uncle, because I don't know the situation yet, I can't tell her, so as not to make her old man anxious and worried. Let's go and find out what happened, and then decide whether to inform grandma or not based on their injuries. Didn't you just say that there is still that Guo Wenlong in the hospital, if grandma hears about it and follows along, do you think it is advantageous or disadvantageous for her to go? I'm afraid that if there is a big fuss in the hospital, it will be very bad for the three children. Hu Mingchen was thoughtful, and his thoughts were more thorough and extensive than Hu Jianqiang's.
"Hmm...... It makes sense, then go, now you should be able to stop a passing car to go to the city in Sanjiazhai. Hu Jianqiang groaned for a moment and accepted Hu Mingchen's statement.
Hu Jianqiang and Hu Mingchen waited on the side of the road in Sanjiazhai for more than half an hour before waiting for a medium-sized truck that passed through and arrived in Liangcheng.
After arriving in Liangcheng, the two went directly to the inpatient department of the city hospital and really found Hu Youling on the third floor. It's just that Hu Youling is not lying on the hospital bed, just sitting on a chair in the aisle.
"Sister, sister, what's wrong with you? Why are you here?" Seeing Hu Youling, Hu Jianqiang squatted in front of her and asked with concern.
At this time, Hu Youling's original white sweater was stained with a lot of blood, and the sleeve of his right arm had been cut off and turned into bandaged gauze, and there was blood leaching out of the edge of the gauze.
"I'm okay......" Hu Youling, who was pale, said in a loud voice.
"You are Hu Youling's family, right?" Hu Youling had just said three words, and a nurse came over with a splint and asked.
"Yes, yes, yes, we just arrived. Hu Mingchen replied on his behalf.
Hu Jianqiang also turned his head at this time to look at the nurse who suddenly appeared.
"Yes, hurry up and pay the fee, his hand is just a simple bandage, after you go to pay, we can arrange stitches for him." The other man is still in the operating room, so hurry up. "The nurse turned out to be there to urge the medical bills.
"How much do you have to pay?" asked Hu Jianqiang.
"Pay two thousand first, hurry up, it's not good for them to delay for a long time. The nurse urged.
In today's hospitals, they basically do nothing without seeing money, and the humanitarian spirit and system of saving lives and helping the wounded, and taking the treatment of patients as the first priority, have not yet been formed. In short, if you want to see a doctor, you have to pay first, and if you don't pay for it, the hospital can stop the operation halfway through.
"Two thousand...... Can I hand in 1,000 and 5 lines first?" Hu Jianqiang asked with an embarrassed face.
"You think this is a vegetable market, 2,000 is already the lowest bottom line, this is just the beginning, and there may be additional ones later. Pay back one thousand and five, I'm not here to bargain with you, love to pay or not, if you don't pay, take the patient away. "Miss Nurse's temper and attitude are very bad, so she choked Hu Jianqiang back when she was very hot.
Hu Jianqiang himself only has 1,000 and a half, and this is still reserved to pay rent, water and electricity. Now that Hu Youling is in urgent need, he naturally has to take it out first. However, he only had so much, and the hospital apparently didn't give him more time to scrape together money.
"Jianqiang, you and Xiao Chen will help first, my injury is small, it doesn't matter, Guo Wenlong's injury is serious, and he can't get out of the hospital." Being threatened by the nurse, Hu Youling was frightened and begged Hu Jianqiang and Hu Mingchen.
"Third uncle, isn't there still five hundred yuan in the company's account, you also go and take it out, pay it first, it's important to save people, and let's talk about the rest later." Hu Mingchen said.
Hu Mingchen can't blame the nurses for their reckless attitude, people also do things specifically, and it is estimated that there have been many cases of medical expenses before, and the general environment of each hospital is almost the same now, so it is better to blame others for it, it is better to think about how to solve the difficulties.
"That's all it can be now, doctor, hurry up and arrange treatment, I'll pay the money right away." Hu Jianqiang also regarded nurses as doctors, and in his eyes, maybe everyone in a white coat was the same.
"Sanxiao, what the hell is going on? How could it be like this?" After Hu Jianqiang went down to the first floor to pay the money, Hu Mingchen squatted in front of Hu Youling and asked.
"We were robbed, and the gang was so ruthless that they didn't give me a chance at all, and they would kill ...... when they picked up the knife" Recalling the horror at that time, Hu Youling's left hand and head were trembling, "In the end, not only did they rob us of all our money, but also took away the cattle in the car, and the two of us were also injured." ”
"Where was the ......robbery? Is it at the frosted pass below Fangwo Village?" Hu Mingchen frowned deeply, and asked tentatively as he remembered something.
"Yes, yes, it's in the scrub pass. As soon as Hu Mingchen said this, Hu Youling became excited.
Why did Hu Mingchen know? It was because on the way to the city, when he passed by the frosted pass, he saw a truck parked on the side of the road, and the front of the truck hit the rock wall on the side of the road. At that time, he thought that it was just a vehicle that had an accident and could not be started and waited for rescue. Looking back now, Hu Mingchen linked that car to Hu Youling's experience.
After the road from Fangwo to Duge was opened, the distance from Gaoshan County to Ginkgo County was more than 20 kilometers closer.
In the past, from Liangcheng or from Gaoshan County to Ginkgo County, it has been taking the provincial road, however, this section of the nest to Duge is opened, which is equivalent to pulling a straight line in the middle of the big bend of the provincial road, and more and more drivers who understand the situation will choose to leave the provincial road from the nest, after Duge, go to Fanger Town, and then go to the provincial road from the fork in the road, so that there is no need to go around Yangmei Township and Luoping Township.
The road condition from the section of the road is not very good, it is not a cement road or an asphalt road, it is just a gravel road. However, in terms of saving more than 20 kilometers, many drivers still feel that it is worthwhile to go this way, especially for trucks.
Trucks are not too picky about the road surface, but care about saving money and time. Guo Wenlong used to run the shuttle bus to Duge Township, of course he knew that this road was close, but he didn't expect to be robbed at the frosted pass.
