I Transmigrated into a Book and Became the Real Rich Daughter's Pampered Cousin

Chapter 49 - 49 The Whole Story

49 The Whole Story

Seeing the old policeman’s worried look, Le Wan shrank back in her chair and lowered her head, not daring to speak.

In fact, she was like Zhai Jing. She was used to doing her own things. Hence, when she found out that the man was really going to cause a medical dispute, her first reaction was to stop him instead of asking for help.

When the young policeman beside him saw that Le Wan was curled up there pitifully, he quickly stopped the old policeman.

“Alright, alright. Although the young girl’s behavior was a little reckless, she was still eager to save people. It’s fine if you don’t praise her, but what if you scare her with such a fierce attitude?”

“She’s not even afraid of the person who caused the problem, why would she be afraid of me?” The old police officer mumbled.

“The children these days are all very bold. They dare to do anything. What’s your name? How old are you?” He asked Le Wan.

Le Wan was afraid that he would call home, so she quickly raised her hand and said,

“My name is Le Wan. I’m already 18 years old. I’m an adult now.” It meant that there was no need to inform her parents about such a small matter.

The old police officer glanced at her and didn’t say anything. He turned to ask the man who made the complaint.

It turned out that the middle-aged man’s name was Chen Wei, and he was a construction worker. He was 48 years old this year.

His wife died in an accident more than ten years ago, leaving him with a three-year-old daughter. For so many years, Chen Wei never remarried. He worked hard to raise his daughter and sent her to university.

In the end, his daughter suddenly fainted at school. She was sent to the hospital for a checkup and found that her heart valve had a lesion. Her condition was very serious and she needed surgery. Otherwise, with her condition, they were afraid that she wouldn’t last six months.

The total cost of the surgery was almost 200,000 yuan. Even after the medical insurance reimbursement, he still had to bear more than 100,000 yuan, not to mention the cost of the preoperative and postoperative treatment.

What was even more unfortunate was that the boss of the company he worked for had run away with the salary he owed the workers for more than half a year. He only had 20,000 yuan in his savings, and it was spent very quickly.

His daughter was still lying in the hospital waiting for her surgery. He went around to raise money, but he was unable to gather it. Seeing his daughter’s condition getting worse day by day, Chen Wei was in despair. He actually had the extreme idea “since there’s no way to cure her, why don’t we all die together”. Hence, he spent a few dozen yuan to buy a sharp knife in the market and came to the hospital.

The doctor in charge of his daughter’s condition had also rushed over. After hearing his words, he was so angry that his hands were shaking. He pointed at him and scolded,

“Why are you so muddle-headed? Didn’t I tell you? You go and raise some money first and pay a portion of the expenses in advance. We’ll try to finish the surgery first. You can slowly think of a way to pay for the rest of the money. You can wait until the discharge settlement. Why did you have to choose such an extreme method?”

“I just can’t raise the money!” Chen Wei squatted at the corner of the wall and hugged his head as he sobbed.

“I’ve already paid a portion of the money, but I still have to pay for the rest of the money. Where am I supposed to go to get more money?!”

The old policeman also scolded him for being muddle-headed.

“So you want to end it yourself first and let your daughter lie alone in the hospital bed waiting for death?”

Chen Wei squatted on the ground and wiped his face.

“I’m not going to die. My colleague called to say that he found that unscrupulous boss. He promised to pay us half of our salary first.” He looked at the doctor pleadingly.

“I’ll have 50,000 yuan in total. Can you perform the surgery for my daughter?”

“As long as it’s under the hospital’s regulations, we’ll operate on the patient,” the doctor said.

Chen Wei directly knelt and kowtowed three times. The surrounding doctors were initially a little angry with him, but when they saw him like this, they felt a little more sympathetic.

Since Chen Wei’s actions didn’t cause any real harm, the hospital didn’t plan to pursue his responsibility. Therefore, both parties settled the matter in private.

As for the courageous Le Wan, in addition to being reprimanded by the old police officers, it was said that the police station would apply for a medal for her courageous act. If she succeeded, she would receive a bonus and her deed would be recorded in her file. If she wanted to work in the government in the future, it would be helpful toward her promotion.

After listening to the young police officer’s list of benefits, there was only one thing that concerned Le Wan.

“I am a third-year high school student. Will the college entrance examination give bonus points?”

Regretfully, the young police officer shook his head.

“No bonus points.”

As a result, Le Wan’s expectations for the medal immediately dropped by half.

The old policeman glared at her.

“Why? Do you regret it now that you know you can’t get extra points for the college entrance examination?”
