Chapter 28: A Top Grade One To Be Her Ox And Horse?
“Yes, it’s me.”
“What can I do for you?” Jiang Ning was somewhat puzzled.
Could it be that the top grade had scraped together the money and wanted to pay her back the ten thousand?
No wonder!
He hadn’t chatted with her during this time.
Boo hoo hoo, she couldn’t flirt with him at all.
“I didn’t want to contact you originally.” Old Mrs. Xie suddenly burst into tears: “I’m really out of options. The hospital doesn’t know why they demanded we pay fifty thousand in medical expenses upfront. We have no money, then a group of black-clothed bodyguards forcibly escorted us out. Now my granddaughter and I have been kicked out of the hospital. A group of people won’t let us get close. They’re driving us away. Xiao He got frightened and started having a nosebleed again. What should I do?”
Jiang Ning was shocked.
Wasn’t this old lady and her granddaughter’s hospital Jin Cheng People’s Hospital?
How could a hospital do something like this!
“Grandma, wait a moment. I’ll make a phone call to confirm the situation. Don’t worry first. Send me your current address, and I’ll come find you.”
Upon receiving the address, Jiang Ning immediately rushed to Old Mrs. Xie’s place, while also calling Sui Qingshan.
It took a long time for the other side to pick up.
“Cousin! How can a hospital do something like evicting patients? This is too immoral.” Jiang Ning was very angry.
After a long while, Sui Qingshan said softly: “Ning Ning, it’s because the higher-ups received reform orders. Patients without money for treatment can’t stay in the hospital. More than one has been kicked out. I’m just a doctor. I have no method.”
“Can’t they pay month by month? Why suddenly demand hundreds of thousands all at once? Can those struggling families come up with that much money?”
Jiang Ning demanded.
What kind of reform would disregard human life like this?
This was more than just robbing money; it was killing for profit.
Sui Qingshan was silent for a very, very long time.
“Sorry, Ning Ning. I’m not a good doctor.”
Jiang Ning gritted her teeth.
Sui Qingshan hung up the phone.
Damn it!
She kicked the trunk of a roadside tree, her eyes red with anger.
She didn’t expect the hospital to treat them for free, but at least since they had paid, they should give them treatment.
Jiang Ning thought of her own grandmother again, that old lady who refused to spend money on her own treatment, saving it all for Jiang Ning so she could live well.
When Grandma passed away, she had saved five thousand for her.
That five thousand could have bought her three more months of life.
Jiang Ning’s eyes stung. She raised her hand and rubbed them.
The movable funds in her card right now were just three hundred thousand.
There was another card where Madam Jiang had saved a hundred thousand for her every year since she was born.
Now there was one million eight hundred thousand, plus gold jewelry bought every year, all added up it was two or three million.
But that money couldn’t be touched.
The original owner wasn’t frugal either and basically had no savings.
Jiang Ning took a taxi to the location Old Mrs. Xie mentioned.
It wasn’t far from the hospital.
Old Mrs. Xie was looking hopefully, hoping the hospital would let them go back in.
The little girl who had been discharged looked much paler again.
Tears were swirling in her eyes; she had clearly been quite frightened.
She was obediently huddled in her grandma’s arms.
“Are you okay?”
Seeing the little girl she had been thinking about arrive, Old Mrs. Xie’s eyes lit up: “We’re fine, it’s just that we can’t go back into the hospital.”
When Jiang Ning arrived, she also saw quite a few black-clothed bodyguards surrounding the place, acting like bandits, causing panic among the people.
Jiang Ning thought, a hospital like this might as well be avoided!
There were plenty of hospitals better than those in Jin Cheng.
“Where’s your grandson? Has he come?” Jiang Ning asked.
Old Mrs. Xie shook her head: “Can’t get through on the phone.”
Jiang Ning frowned. This was tricky; there was no one to discuss it with.
Suddenly, her finger was held by a soft little hand.
Jiang Ning looked down and saw the little girl smiling brightly at her: “Sister, I finally get to see you.”
Jiang Ning’s heart suddenly softened. Unable to resist, she reached out and pinched her thin cheek: “If you miss me, call me, and I’ll come find you.”
Xie He’s bright eyes were puzzled: “But Brother told me not to disturb Sister. Sister is studying at Qingbei University and is very busy.”
Jiang Ning: “…”
Done for!
She had forgotten about that.
She laughed it off: “That’s true… but sometimes I can not be busy, haha. Then Sister will come see you when she has time.”
Xie He raised a soft smile, like a fluffy little white rabbit: “Mm-hmm. When I’m better, I want to get into Capital City too.”
Capital City…
Right.
If Jin Cheng won’t take them, then go to the capital for treatment.
The treatment level there is first place in the nation.
Jiang Ning said to Old Mrs. Xie: “Grandma, I have an idea. Why don’t you take Xiao He to Capital City for treatment? I have connections there and can arrange for you to get into the best hospital. As for the money, I’ll lend you three hundred thousand first, until Xiao He’s illness is cured.”
Old Mrs. Xie was shocked.
Jiang Ning, a little girl who looked seventeen or eighteen years old, casually mentioned hundreds of thousands.
Old Mrs. Xie quickly refused: “No, Xiao He has leukemia. It costs a lot, and we need to find matching bone marrow. Keep that money for your studies.”
A strange feeling passed through Jiang Ning’s heart.
She didn’t think much of it.
After all, there were so many people in the world with the same illness. Even if it was the same as Xie Jingyan’s sister’s illness, it was pitiful.
If Xie Jingyan’s sister had the female lead’s help, she would still die in the end.
So the one Jiang Ning was saving had to live well!
She reached out and patted Old Mrs. Xie’s hand: “No problem, Grandma. I’ll find matching bone marrow for Xiao He. I’ll support her treatment until she’s cured. Don’t worry, my family is very rich. Hundreds of thousands is just pocket change to me.”
Jiang Ning said these carefree words, but her heart was bleeding.
This was all her pocket money.
For the next while, she would have to live frugally.
“Grandma, please believe me. I truly want to help you. I want to see Xiao He go to school, and later take the Qingbei exam together with Sister, okay?” Jiang Ning said, turning her head to Xie He.
Xie He’s eyes were red. She burst out crying with a wail and hugged Jiang Ning tightly: “Sister, I’ll definitely earn money to pay you back later. I’ll study hard and become the best doctor.”
Jiang Ning stroked her head.
She gave the card she had prepared in advance to Old Mrs. Xie: “Just go to Capital City. Don’t worry about anything else. Your granddaughter is the most important.”
Old Mrs. Xie didn’t know how to thank her.
So she asked: “Little girl, what’s your name?”
Jiang Ning coughed lightly and gave her pseudonym: “Just call me Zhaozhao.”
“Zhaozhao, even if my grandson has to work like an ox or horse for you in the future, we will repay your kindness.”
The top grade working like an ox or horse for her?
Jiang Ning couldn’t bear to refuse for the moment.
What was wrong with her? She was just a little girl who liked pretty hands.
At this time, Jiang Ning’s phone rang.
It was Madam Jiang calling.
Jiang Ning answered.
Madam Jiang’s voice was somewhat tired: “Ning Ning, come to the hospital and see your grandma.”
It was close to the hospital here anyway, so Jiang Ning agreed.
After hanging up, she waved goodbye to Old Mrs. Xie and the others.
