"If you want to visit Shao Ya, you can only contact soone from the Yu Family. Her family has already moved her grave back, but I really don’t know the exact location. Here’s a phone number for you! If you really want to go, contact soone from the Yu Family."
It was clear that his words deeply moved the man in front of him.
Lin Yuan wrote down Yu Shaohua’s phone number and gave it to Bai Jingshan.
Because of her emotional state, Lin Yuan coughed even more severely. Seeing the poverty-stricken state of Lin Yuan’s ho, Bai Jingshan realized that she was probably the only friend who still thought about Yu Shaoya after her death. There weren’t many who would rember her so dearly.
Xiaohu had already run in, and Lin Yuan coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Bai Jingshan couldn’t stand by any longer, "Quickly take your mother to the hospital! This can’t go on! I’ll drive, co, take my car to the hospital."
Lin Yuan shook her head, covering her mouth, with blood on the handkerchief in her hand.
"No need! No need, I’m fine."
"Mom, is this still fine? Can you listen to ? You must go to the hospital, let’s go now." Xiaohu couldn’t persuade his mother, but now it was a matter of her coughing up blood, which was no joke.
Picking her up, he carried her directly downstairs, with Bai Jingshan leading the way. They walked out of the alley, where they finally saw his car. The driver was waiting by the car, and when he saw Bai Jingshan bringing people, he hurriedly opened the car door, "Mr. Bai, you’re back!"
"To the hospital!"
Bai Jingshan made room for Xiaohu in the back seat. Xiaohu glanced at the car; although the limited information from the license plate couldn’t tell him what kind of car it was, he could tell it was a luxury car worth a fortune.
He looked at the bloodstains at the corners of his mother’s mouth; Lin Yuan was still coughing up blood.
If they got the car dirty, what would they do?
"Get in the car quickly, what are you waiting for? Life is at stake." Bai Jingshan shouted at him.
Without another word, Xiaohu carried Lin Yuan into the car, thinking that even if it got dirty, he could always co back to wash it for Mr. Bai.
If all else failed, he would work off the debt for him.
The driver absolutely kept silent, knowing he had no right to comnt on Mr. Bai’s affairs without being asked.
They arrived at the nearest hospital.
In the ergency room of Ruiyin Hospital, Lin Yuan was being treated.
Director Xu of the ergency departnt ca out, "Who is the patient’s family?"
Xiaohu hurried over, "The patient needs to be hospitalized. The tuberculosis is already this severe, how co she’s only being brought in now?" Director Xu looked sowhat reproachfully at the young man in front of him.
The patient’s condition was very serious; if she hadn’t been brought in promptly, it might have been fatal this ti.
Xiaohu looked embarrassed, his dark face showing his discomfort.
Director Xu imdiately understood, another instance of soone struggling to afford dical care.
The expression on the boy’s face said it all.
"Go pay the hospitalization fee, your mother’s situation requires hospitalization, or there really is a risk to her life." His tone, however, was much gentler.
Xiaohu took the paynt slip and touched the passbook in his pocket; he had brought it with him in hopes that his saved up money would be enough for his mother’s treatnt.
He glanced at Bai Jingshan, seeing no other option but to ask for his help.
"Hello! Mr. Bai, I’m going to fetch the money, could you please look after my mom for a mont? I’ll be back quickly, I won’t delay you." At this mont, he couldn’t find anyone else to help.
Bai Jingshan looked at Xiaohu and nodded, "Go ahead."
Xiaohu quickly ran out to the bank next door.
He withdrew all his savings from the passbook, holding onto three thousand yuan, and rushed to the inpatient departnt.
Hoping it would be enough.
Feeling anxious, the deposit alone was a thousand yuan, not to ntion his mother was currently under ergency treatnt, and this was Ruiyin Hospital, the top hospital in Modu, which also ant top expenses.
He hadn’t expected Mr. Bai to take them here; with his mother already in the ergency room, what else could he say?
Could he bla soone else for not finding a smaller hospital?
That would be biting the hand that feeds you.
He wasn’t that kind of person, his mother had taught him well.
With difficulty, he handed the paynt slip through the window, the cash register clerk glanced at him with a tinge of disdain in their eyes.
It was subtle! But easy to notice, especially for soone like Xiaohu, who, having lived at the bottom of society for so long, was even more sensitive to this kind of discrimination.
He wouldn’t mistake it.
Lowering his eyes, his face began to burn; it started with his cheeks and spread to the back of his ears, even his neck started to feel hot.
He wasn’t a person without pride, but life had long since worn down his arrogance; the days surviving with his mother had taught him the aning of being poor with little ambition.
"The deposit is three thousand for hospitalization, but along with the ergency treatnt fees, it’s another two thousand two hundred, totaling five thousand two hundred." The cashier calculated while looking at the slip.
Lin Hu felt a chill run through his scalp; it was still over.
Five thousand two hundred!
He had exactly three thousand, still more than a hundred short.
Feeling embarrassed, "Are you paying or not? If not, step aside, others are waiting!" Soone behind him shouted with dissatisfaction upon seeing him hesitate.
Lin Hu looked even more awkward.
"Doctor, can I pay three thousand now and make up the rest this afternoon?" This wasn’t the ti for him to be prideful; he couldn’t delay with his own mother’s life at stake.
"Then pay the hospitalization deposit first, and co back with the rest of the treatnt fees this afternoon." It was the only solution the cashier could offer him.
Lin Hu gratefully pulled out the money, "Thank you, thank you! I’ll co pay this afternoon. Thank you!"
As the cashier began to process his paynt, they paused, looking up at him with confusion, "Hey, relative of Lin Yuan, soone already paid the hospitalization and treatnt fees!"
They must be kidding.
Lin Hu shook his head, "That’s impossible; I just returned from the bank, that can’t be!"
He and his mother were all they had, the relatives on his father’s side were out of the question. His father had a new family and another son, and hadn’t even provided him basic child support; frankly, he hadn’t seen his father in years, and his relatives from that side simply wanted to avoid seeing him to avoid being asked for money.
Avoiding him was a priority! Contact was out of the question.
On his mother’s side, the only close relative, an aunt who had made money through business, looked down on them; she was cold and sarcastic at best and criticized his mother for her poor choice in n. She was a hundred tis unfriendly to him. It was only his grandparents who secretly helped them a bit behind his uncle and aunt’s backs, but none of his mother’s side knew about her hospitalization.
"Paid, I’ve checked, it’s a total of twenty thousand yuan, now move aside, don’t block others from paying." The cashier urged.
Lin Hu suddenly rembered Mr. Bai.
He hurriedly ran back to the inpatient departnt.
