Chapter 640 - Chapter 640 640. Fifth Peoples Hospital_1

Chapter 640: 640. Fifth People’s Hospital_1 Chapter 640: 640. Fifth People’s Hospital_1 Fifth People’s Hospital, it sounds somewhat substantial. In reality, as Song Tan said, it was nothing more than two two-story small buildings.

The hospital was said to be located in the old city area, but in fact, it was on the edge of the old city area and the big vegetable market.

Those who went there for medical treatment were either some villagers with chronic diseases who stayed in the hospital to take advantage of medical insurance or the elderly nearby who went there for injections and IV drips…

It seemed like… it really had no other capabilities!

Not to exaggerate, but whether the operating room could be used several times a month was another matter.

Secretary Xiaozu was also helpless.

“The old man’s son said that the medical insurance reimbursement is higher there, so he has to go there, plus he knows someone inside, so they will pay more attention,” he said.

Isn’t that just nonsense?

Take Guo Dong for example; she had interactions with Old Master Li. If she were to treat him, wouldn’t she be meticulous?

But as she was not specialized in this field and without the appropriate equipment, how could she discern anything no matter how meticulous she was?

Besides, with Old Master’s rural cooperative medical system, it was true that a tertiary hospital wouldn’t reimburse as much, but they had designated hospitals in their district, right at the Second Hospital, and the reputation of the Second Hospital was very good!

The reimbursement rate was set by the state. No matter how much higher the so-called Fifth Hospital was, how much higher could it really be? How many pieces of equipment they had was another matter.

But there was nothing to be done; it was the family’s decision.

“Forget it, forget it,” he said.

Secretary Xiaozu also felt overwhelmed:

“I’ll try to persuade them again. We really can’t send him to Fifth Hospital–we haven’t even figured out Old Master’s condition.”

After hanging up the phone, Song Tan stared at the little chubby boy in the passenger seat.

“Before you ran to my house, did you know your grandpa had fainted?”

Little Chubby sneakily glanced at her and then quickly shook his head.

“Did he try to stop you when you wanted to come over? Did you hit him or push him?”

The little boy paused before quickly shaking his head again.

“So why did he fall down? You really have no idea?”

He shook his head again.

Song Tan scoffed coldly:

“Behave and tell me exactly what happened during your argument, and remember not to lie.”

“See, we are on the road with not a single person around; if you lie later on, I will still spank you.”

Little Chubby shuddered and then hurriedly shook his head:

“I won’t lie, I won’t lie! I really don’t know, I wanted to come, and the old man… my grandpa stopped me, grabbed my hand, and I shook him off… I ran… and he didn’t fall when I was running… ”

Song Tan gave him a glance but said nothing more.

Meanwhile, Secretary Xiaozu received another call from the family.

The woman’s voice on the phone was very clear:

“Don’t send him to Fifth Hospital anymore. I don’t know what you’re thinking, insisting on sending him to Fifth Hospital… In my opinion, Old Master should be taken to the best hospital! Go to a tertiary hospital!”

It seemed there was a man whispering something beside her, and after some back and forth, she changed her mind:

“Fine, send him to the Second Hospital! You all got your way.”

Secretary Xiaozu’s brow furrowed, thinking: How does that ‘benefit us’?

What, did Song Tan’s good deed in saving someone cause problems for herself?

She exchanged a look with Guo Dong, both of them becoming alert.

Looking at Old Master Li, who was still lying motionless on the mat, they couldn’t help but sigh internally:

Old Master, please wake up soon!

…

As they neared the hospital, Secretary Xiaozu hurriedly made a call to the hospital.

When they arrived at the hospital entrance, the medical staff were already waiting and quickly brought over the stretcher to move the patient onto it.

No sooner had they secured him on the stretcher than a man and a woman rushed up to his side:

“Dad! Dad, what’s wrong with you? You’ve always been so robust; how could something suddenly happen…”

“Family members, please step back, step back!”

The nurse shouted loudly from the side.

However, the woman with permed hair was already crying her eyes out:

“Dad, don’t worry! I definitely won’t let the person who harmed you get away with it! There’s no surveillance in the village, but I’m not someone who can be fooled easily. Don’t think that whatever they say goes, I’ll definitely get to the bottom of this…”

“How are you going to get to the bottom of it?”

Song Tan stepped forward, hand extended:

“If you really want to get to the bottom of it, the car fare is one hundred, pay up first.”

The woman’s eyes widened in shock, immediately bursting into curses:

“Are you crazy for money?!”

“The village-to-village service is only twenty-five, and you’re asking for one hundred?! Besides, who knows if you’re connected to the old man’s fainting? The fact that I haven’t asked you for compensation is already generous.”

“You want me to compensate?”

Song Tan raised her eyebrows.

Just as she was about to say something, the nurse shouted again from the front: “Family members, where are you? Why aren’t you following along?!”

The woman quickly nudged the man next to her, who was standing with his head bowed in a daze:

“Hurry up! Follow them, what are you standing there dazed for?”

Then she turned to Song Tan and sneered:

“Who else but you should compensate? Our old man was fine, so why would he faint at your doorstep? To say it has nothing to do with you is just–”

Song Tan interrupted her, beckoning with her hand:

“Little Chubby, come here and tell your mom what happened.”

Little Chubby shrunk back, then stepped forward obediently:

“Mom, I don’t know how Grandpa fell. He was pulling me, and I… I just shook off his hand, then I went to her yard, the bike there looked really nice, I wanted to ride it…”

“Alright, Mom knows!” the woman interrupted him and then shot Song Tan a triumphant look:

“What more do you have to say in your defense? My son has said it, you had a tricycle in your yard that lured him in, and that’s what delayed the old man!”

“Otherwise, had he been by the old man’s side, how could he have been neglected for so long?”

Even Guo Dong, who was seasoned in dealing with disputes, was taken aback–

This outrageous excuse happens every year, but this one is particularly outstanding!

Meanwhile, Secretary Xiaozu took a step forward, reaching out his hand:

“Hello, I am the director of Yunqiao Village. I was there the whole time when the old man was found fainted.”

“As a family member of the old man, your immediate responsibility is to take care of him. If you have any objections, feel free to call the police.”

“We will follow whatever arrangements the police make.”

He then pushed Little Chubby forward:

“Take good care of your son here.”

“It doesn’t matter to me as a director, but these two, one works at a clinic and the other has a business to run at home. All this time spent has caused who knows how much loss in money… how about we talk about compensation later?”

He finished speaking and gestured to Song Tan to follow: “Let’s go, the patient has been delivered, and we’ve missed dinner, let’s just grab something to eat.”

Song Tan smiled faintly and then tilted her chin at the woman: “Did you take note of what I just said?”

“If there’s an issue, go to the police. What the police say, we will do. Take your time figuring it out.”

All three walked out of the hospital’s main entrance, glanced at each other, and sighed in unison.

–It’s hard to be a good person.

“It doesn’t matter.”

Song Tan was full of confidence: “The live stream captured everything that needed to be captured, and what wasn’t captured indeed has nothing to do with us.”

That was true.

Secretary Xiaozu thought about her live stream and also came to realize it.

However, Song Tan frowned again:

“With all this fuss, it’ll be troublesome to arrange for the old man to help me watch over the rice field from now on.”

First, he needs to recover, and second, with this heat, if something else happens in the rice field, it’ll be even harder to explain.
