Traveling through the Eighth Five-Year Plan: Starting from selling fruit at a stall

Chapter 268 You Can Leave After Reading the Joke

Holding 50 yuan in his hand, Wang Zhaoxing found Zhu Lamei angrily, and shouted at her, "Look at what you have done, you only gave us 50 yuan!"

Gritting his teeth, he roared, "Send the beggar!"

Zhu Lamei looked at Wang Zhaoxing in horror, and said, "Zhaoxing, what should we do? We didn't bring much money when we came here, and the 50 yuan is not enough for us!"

Wang Zhaoxing sneered, threw Zhu Lamei's only few clothes out of the bag, and said, "Old woman, since your eldest son doesn't care about you, and it's not my turn to take care of you, you can just lie here and I won't serve you."

After speaking, he held the 50 yuan and walked out without looking back.

Wang Zhaoxing left very decisively, Zhu Lamei was completely panicked, she struggled to get out of bed regardless of the fact that she was still getting an injection: "Zhaoxing, come back to me!"

After leaving the hospital, Wang Zhaoxing took 50 yuan to buy himself a wonton and ate a delicious meal, and then found a small hotel to stay.

After returning to the first store, Zhao Songbai greeted him.

He asked him anxiously: "Brother Wang, is Auntie okay?"

Wang Zhaoyang comforted: "It's okay, it's just an old problem, and it has nothing to do with you."

Zhao Songbai heaved a sigh of relief, and asked again: "Brother Wang, did Auntie come back with you?"

"The doctor said that he will be hospitalized for observation for a few days."

Hearing that she was going to be hospitalized, Zhao Songbai hurriedly said: "Brother Wang, where is Auntie hospitalized, I want to visit her and express my heart."

Zhao Songbai was really frightened when he saw Zhu Lamei fall so straight.

Especially when he heard Wang Zhaoyang calling his mother, he panicked even more.

He had never seen Zhu Lamei before, and Wang Zhaoyang and Ling Yue seldom mentioned her in front of him. He didn't know what was wrong with him, why he would suddenly speak rudely to an old man.

"No, she won't come here in the future, you can go to work with peace of mind."

Although Zhao Songbai had doubts in his heart, he still nodded subconsciously.

Although Wang Zhaoyang didn't blame him, he still made up his mind to visit her after get off work.

"Brother Wang, just tell me. Where does Auntie work? This matter is also caused by me. If I don't go and have a look, I feel sorry."

Zhao Songbai is a loyal person, Wang Zhaoyang is very clear about this.

Seeing that he insisted on seeing Zhu Lamei, he couldn't object anymore, so he told him the hospital and ward number.

Zhao Songbai took notes seriously, and said, "Brother Wang, then I get off work early this afternoon and have to go shopping."

Wang Zhaoyang said with a tired face: "You can just go there, don't spend money."

Zhao Songbai said yes, but at noon, he saw that there were few people in the store, so he went to the department store to buy two catties of brown sugar, and bought some fruit at the stall at the entrance, planning to go directly to the hospital after work.

Time passed quickly, and it was 06:30 pm in a blink of an eye.

Zhao Songbai and Wang Zhaoyang spoke together, carried their things and got on the bus to the People's Hospital.

Finding Zhu Lamei's ward, he saw Zhu Lamei lying on the bed with a haggard look.

He shouted: "Auntie, are you better?"

Seeing him, Zhu Lamei said awkwardly, "Why are you here?"

Zhao Songbai put the things he bought on the bedside table, glanced left and right, and asked strangely: "Auntie, are you here alone?"

Zhu Lamei's eyes turned red all of a sudden.

She silently wiped away the tears that didn't exist, and said, "If you came to see the joke, then you can go."

Zhao Songbai frowned: "No, auntie, I heard from Brother Wang that his younger brother is taking care of you in the hospital. Why didn't you see anyone else?"

Zhao Songbai swore that if he had known that Wang Zhaoxing could do such a bastard thing, he would never have asked this question.

He even didn't expect that after he asked this sentence, Zhu Lamei would climb up smoothly and rely on him.

"My life is miserable!"

Zhu Lamei howled for no reason, making Zhao Songbai's hands tremble twice in fright.

"I gave birth to two sons, and they don't care about me when I'm sick!"

As she spoke, tears rolled down her face.

"The elder son has a wife and forgot his mother, and the younger son is shameless when he asks for money. He also took away my only 50 yuan!"

Zhao Songbai looked at her suspiciously, extremely embarrassed.

Just when he was about to find some excuse to escape, the attending doctor suddenly came to make rounds.

Seeing him standing by the hospital bed, he said unceremoniously: "I said, what's the matter with you as juniors? When you send people to the hospital, why don't you buy a meal for the old man? The old man has money with him, and our nurses have to run up and down for her to pay her out of pocket."

Zhao Songbai blinked, pointed at Zhu Lamei, then at himself, and said, "Doctor, you made a mistake. I'm not her son."

The doctor didn't believe his words at all, and continued: "No matter how wrong the old man is, since he has come to the hospital, at least you should take good care of him, right?"

Zhao Songbai was completely helpless.

"Also, the patient's medical fee has not been settled today, so you can pay it by the way."

Zhao Songbai stared at him.

I just came to the hospital to see patients with good intentions, why did all these messy things fall on me?

What made him even more depressed was that the doctor misunderstood, Zhu Lamei didn't say anything, and seemed to acquiesce.

He said helplessly, "Okay, I'll pay her, how much should I pay?"

"Originally, you can pay less, but based on your performance today, I think you should pay 50 yuan first."

Zhao Songbai took the payment notice from him, but reluctantly went downstairs to pay Zhu Lamei.

After paying the fee, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, he didn't return to the ward, and went directly to the hotel.

When they arrived at the hotel, Ling Yue and his family were sitting around enjoying a big meal. Seeing him coming, Wang Zhaoyang greeted him and said, "Come quickly, Xiao Zhao. The chef has made some glutinous rice balls today. Come and taste a couple of them."

Zhao Songbai stepped forward, ate two glutinous rice balls, and said to Wang Zhaoyang, "Brother Wang, you sent your aunt to the hospital today without paying her the fee?"

Wang Zhaoyang paused his hand scooping up the glutinous rice balls: "How could I not give it to her, but I gave her 50 yuan."

Zhao Songbai said suspiciously: "Then why did the doctor say today that no one is paying for my aunt's hospitalization fee, and even the nurses helped her pay for her meals?"

Wang Zhaoyang was stunned: "What did you say? And this?"

He said to Ling Yue angrily: "What is this Wang Zhaoxing doing, why can't he even do such a small thing well!"

"Okay, I see. You can drive us to have a look later."

Ling Yue, who had been silent for a while, said, "I'll drive for a while, Xiao Zhao is also tired from work all day, you let people run up and down like this, aren't you ashamed?"

Wang Zhaoyang chuckled, and said nothing more.
