Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 237 Asking for money

"Leaving so soon?" Zhuang Shouren didn't expect that they would process medical retirement so quickly. Generally speaking, this kind of procedure is quite time-consuming, but now it seems that the Luo family has some ability.

"Yes, so we need the captain's help to resolve the compensation issue now." Luo Chengxin didn't want to argue with the team. If it could be resolved as quickly as possible, it should be resolved immediately. He couldn't wait even a minute longer!

Zhuang Shouren nodded to show his understanding, "Then wait for me for a while, I will go and call the other injured family members and Lin Anna."

Since we have to solve it, let's do it all at once. Lin Anna has been asking his second son to help delay it for long enough. It can't be that she hasn't collected enough money yet, right?

"Okay then." Luo Chengxin and the two girls waited patiently in the brigade headquarters to see how the captain would solve the problem.

Zhuang Shouren acted very quickly. He asked Zhuang Aimin to ask the militia to run errands and call all the relatives of the injured, including Xue Li who was busy at the educated youth point.

When Jiang Yu and Chen Jinghan accompanied Xue Li here, there were already quite a few people standing in the room where the brigade had discussed collecting grain last time.

Chen Jinghan was afraid that those people would bump into Xue Li, so she found a corner and pushed the wheelchair over.

When the villagers saw the wheelchair, they couldn't help but gather together and complain.

"Jiang Yu is indeed a smart person. You can tell at a glance that this chair was made by her."

"He's smart, but he's a little too tough."

"If you don't stand up, you're just waiting to be bullied?" An aunt with a clear mind snorted, and occasionally glanced at the three educated youths in the corner with a hint of admiration in her eyes.

"How can that be called bullying? Aren't we all doing this for the good of the team?"

"Then you should stand up and hold up that jar! You are so great, why don't you contribute to the team?"

Jiang Yu listened silently to the villagers chatting, his eyes passing over those who could distinguish right from wrong, and he took note of it silently in his heart.

Therefore, the construction team was not completely made up of the same people, and there were still many normal people among them. However, these people were too few in number to fight against the group, and they dared not speak out, and could only argue with others at ordinary times.

But this is already very good. At least you know that the world you live in is not completely dark. There are still people living in the light. When there are more and more such people, there will be more and more sunshine shining into your heart. This is hope.

Lin Anna arrived late accompanied by Zhuang Dahe, but as soon as she appeared, everyone looked over at once, as if she was some kind of person that everyone was paying attention to.

When Zhuang Shouren saw that everyone was present, he clapped his hands and asked everyone to look at him. "Everyone, please sit down. If you are all standing, I can't see who is talking. Dahe, get out."

This is a matter between Lin Anna and the injured person's family. Why are these two idiots interfering? !

"Dad, I..." Zhuang Dahe wanted to say that Lin Anna was weak and alone, and if he didn't accompany her, she might be torn to pieces by those debt collectors.

But Zhuang Shouren's face darkened in an instant, and he glared at his son and said sternly, "Get out!"

Zhuang Dahai was startled and quickly let go of his hand and ran out of the door.

Upon seeing this, Zhuang Aimin hurried forward to close the door, stood by the door himself, and acted as the door god.

The villagers witnessed the whole process of Zhuang Shouren's expression changing, and they all shut their mouths, sat still and behaved themselves.

Luo Chengxin and Chen Jinghan looked at each other, and their thoughts were similar.

It seems that this captain is not a person without temper.

Of course not. Anyone would be upset if they had to face a son who was confused and mentally retarded every day! Zhuang Shouren also had a daughter-in-law who cursed all day long like Xianglin Sao. It was a double blow. He was so annoyed that he was about to explode.

Zhuang Shouren twitched his lips, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, and it looked very fake. "Lin Anna, you know why I asked you to come here today. I asked Dahe to give you the bill last time. How are you preparing it?"

Lin Anna pinched the hem of her shirt, looking embarrassed, "Captain, the amount you mentioned last time was too high, I really don't have that much money..."

"What do you mean the amount is too large? We all presented the hospital bill to the captain. Now you are saying that we are blackmailing you?" A hot-tempered villager stood up and confronted Lin Anna.

"I'm not... I don't mean that, it's just that I really don't have that much money..." Lin Anna waved her hands quickly, and retreated hastily as if she was threatened, until she was against the wall and explained tremblingly.

But in fact, the villager just stood there, staring at Lin Anna fiercely, and had no intention of taking action at all.

Xue Li almost couldn't help laughing out loud. Lin Anna's acting was too much. Didn't you see that the other villagers were looking at her with confusion? She acted as if the villagers were all monsters. In fact, no one wanted to beat her up. The most important thing at the moment was to get her to pay.

"No money? You want to shirk your responsibility just because you say you don't have money? I tell you no way!! Who doesn't need money now? Every household is suffering from famine, and you have caused our family to spend so much money on our children's medical treatment. Now you want to evade your responsibility just because you say you don't have money? Dream on!" An aunt with a delicate appearance was eloquent. She said that it was not easy for her family to suffer miserably, and at the same time she denounced Lin Anna for trying to shirk her debt, and spoke out.

"That's right! You have no money, and I have no money either, so who will pay for my granddaughter's medical treatment?" The grandmother in the same ward with Xue Li also pointed her finger at Lin Anna and scolded, "Aren't you awesome? You even have a relationship with the town secretary, so go and borrow money from him! Anyway, don't even think about paying less for our child's medical expenses! You must pay us back."

"Yes! It must be returned! Not a penny less!" Other family members also spoke up.

Lin Anna frowned and looked like she was about to cry.

"Lin Zhiqing, I am Luo Chengli's brother. I will take my younger brother back to the city tomorrow, so no matter what you say today, please pay my brother's medical and nutrition expenses first." Luo Chengxin saw that the villagers were clamoring, so he joined in.

When the others heard that he had to take the money first, they immediately became unhappy and the argument became even more intense.

Xue Li looked at Lin Anna who was forced into a corner by the villagers, and a feeling of joy welled up in her heart. She looked at her with a smile, hoping that this torture could last a little longer.

Finally, Zhuang Shouren got tired of the noise and patted the table to quiet everyone down. "Everyone sit down. It's useless to force her. She still has to take out the money herself."

The villagers reluctantly retreated and sat down again, but their eyes were still focused on Lin Anna.
