Chapter 229 They have hepatitis B
“This little money isn’t enough to cover the losses. You need to think of something else. For example, you can find some work and then go back to selling your blood after a while.” Mao Dongzhu had heard of selling blood and knew that you couldn’t just donate blood every day.
“We went there, but we couldn’t find anything to do. Nobody wanted us. Nobody would even hire us to wash dishes or sweep the floor.” Deng Xiuzhen looked very guilty.
"Fine, fine, if you can't find work, then don't look for work. You guys should just get better and sell your blood. Anyway, you can't avoid losing money!" Mao Dongzhu waved his hand impatiently.
Deng Xiuzhen and Qin Yanlin retreated to a bench in the ward corridor and began to earnestly eat their steamed buns.
In the afternoon, someone rushed to Mao Dongzhu's ward.
Deng Xiuzhen glanced up and involuntarily sat up straighter: the person who came was Zhang Wenyu, Qin Wenjing's husband in her previous life, a selfish and self-centered mama's boy.
Not long after Zhang Wenzi and Wenjing got married in their previous life, he brought Mao Dongzhu and Zhang Guoqing to Kyoto. The two old men secretly caused trouble for Wenjing every day, making her suffer a lot.
Zhang Wenyu mostly protected his parents and made Wenjing be tolerant.
Until Wenjing almost miscarried, she firmly gave him a choice: either his parents go back to their hometown, or she aborted the child and the two of them divorced!
Zhang Wenyu allowed Mao Dongzhu and the others to return to their hometown, but on the condition that they send money back regularly.
Then Mao Dongzhu and his family settled in their hometown, living a carefree and leisurely life with the money their son earned.
She, however, spent her own money and labor taking care of her grandson. What's most disgusting is that bastard Zhang Wenyu, who smiles at her face but speaks ill of her behind her back to Wenjing, leaving her feeling incredibly angry and with nowhere to complain...
While Deng Xiuzhen was angry, she was secretly relieved: Wenjing was in Shenzhen and would not run into Zhang Wenyu again, and Zhang Wenyu would never become her son-in-law and disgust her.
After Zhang Wenyu entered the ward, Deng Xiuzhen quietly approached and eavesdropped.
"Mom, Mom, what happened to you? Weren't you supposed to be going back to Hunan? Why are you hospitalized in Seoul?" Zhang Wenyu asked as soon as he entered the room, sounding quite anxious.
"Xiaoyu, you've finally come! Your mother has suffered so much!" Mao Dongzhu's tears flowed freely.
"Mom, don't cry, tell me slowly." Zhang Wenyu sat down on the edge of the bed and gently comforted Mao Dongzhu.
Mao Dongzhu, sobbing, recounted the entire story: being robbed on the train, wanting to go to Zhang Wenyu's aunt's house to check on her, being knocked down by two incredibly poor idiots, and being suspected of having cancer during a hospital checkup... She even cursed Deng Xiuzhen again at the end.
Deng Xiuzhen remained silent outside the door, silently cursing back in her heart.
"Where is the person who hit you?" Zhang Wenyu asked.
Deng Xiuzhen quickly and quietly retreated back to the bench.
Just as she expected, Zhang Guoqing and Zhang Wenyu came out shortly after and went straight to the doctor's office. Deng Xiuzhen couldn't hear what they were saying, but she could guess that Zhang Wenyu was probably asking about his mother's condition.
After returning from the doctor's office, I came over to call her.
Deng Xiuzhen pretended to be woken up, wiped her eyes, and pulled Qin Yanlin, who had been sitting obediently on the bench, into the ward with Zhang Guoqing.
As they entered, a foul odor filled the ward. Mao Dongzhu and Zhang Guoqing were somewhat used to it. Zhang Wenyu, however, couldn't stand it, frowning and covering his mouth and nose with his hand.
It really is as fucking said—dirty, smelly, and poor!
Ring ring, ring ring.
Deng Xiuzhen's phone suddenly rang.
She slowly pulled out her worn-out phone, and as soon as the call connected, the other person said, "Are you Deng Xiuzhen? Come over here right now! You two have hepatitis B and you're still here selling blood! Are you trying to harm people?"
“Hepatitis B? We have hepatitis B? No, I, I don’t, I didn’t know, I…” Deng Xiuzhen explained incoherently, almost crying.
"Come over here right now and refund the money, or we'll sue you..." the other party said rudely.
"me……"
"Stop arguing with me! Come and get your money back right now! If you're not here by 5 PM, I'm calling the police and you'll end up in jail!" The other person slammed down the phone.
"Big sister, please give me the money first, okay? Otherwise I'll go to jail! Please, have mercy on me..." Deng Xiuzhen turned to Mao Dongzhu and pleaded tearfully.
"What's going on?" Zhang Wenyu asked Mao Dongzhu, looking up at her.
“She didn’t have money to compensate us, so she sold her blood. She just brought back a few dozen yuan this morning, which is not enough for my hospitalization. Now she wants it back? No way!” Mao Dongzhu stiffened her neck and pouted.
"Please, give us the money first, and we'll figure out a way to get it. I don't want to go to jail, I don't want to go to jail, please..." Deng Xiuzhen cried as she stepped forward, trying to grab Mao Dongzhu.
"Don't come any closer!" Zhang Wenyu shouted immediately. He had just heard it: these two people have hepatitis B! Hepatitis B is contagious!
Deng Xiuzhen seemed startled, staring blankly at Zhang Wenyu.
Zhang Wenyu frowned, suppressing his nausea, and said, "Don't worry, they're just trying to scare you. When you go to sell your blood, they should check you first before drawing blood into the bag. The fact that they didn't check you first is a violation of procedure on their part. It's okay, they wouldn't dare to sue you."
"Really?" Deng Xiuzhen looked up in surprise.
"Mm," Zhang Wenyu nodded.
“Then, then I’ll wait here. We can’t sell our blood anymore. How about we stay and take care of you to offset the compensation?” Deng Xiuzhen looked at Zhang Wenyu earnestly with sincere eyes.
"No need! No need! I just asked the doctor, and my mother's problem isn't serious, so I don't need any compensation from you. You should just go home!" Zhang Wenyu waved his hands repeatedly.
“But they hit me…” Mao Dongzhu didn’t want to let it go.
"Mom!" Zhang Wenyu called out and gave Mao Dongzhu a look, and Mao Dongzhu fell silent.
A cold glint flashed in Deng Xiuzhen's eyes: So Mao Dongzhu listens to Zhang Wenyu! Then Zhang Wenyu did it on purpose in their past life!
"But, but I'm still worried. What if something happens to your mother?" Deng Xiuzhen's eyes were filled with a clear, foolish look, which gave Zhang Wenyu a headache and a pang of heartache.
"Trust me, everything's really alright," Zhang Wenyu solemnly assured him.
"How about you write something for me to the doctor? Otherwise, I can't put my mind at ease..." Deng Xiuzhen moved forward again, as if she was about to pounce on them.
Zhang Wenyu was startled and quickly agreed, "Okay, okay!"
They called the doctor, who, upon hearing the situation, quickly had a nurse make a copy of Mao Dongzhu's medical record. He had witnessed Mao Dongzhu's eccentric behavior the day before and felt quite sorry for the foolish couple. Now, hearing that the two had even gone to sell their blood early that morning, his sympathy only grew stronger.
Then, with everyone's guidance and prompting, Zhang Wenyu and his family of three wrote a statement, roughly meaning: they are physically healthy, they do not need the other party to take responsibility, the matter is settled, and there will be no further disputes.
The kind-hearted medical staff even called the police station to witness the event.
"Xiaoyu, this is too lenient on them! They can't pay us back, but they can at least serve us, right?" Mao Dongzhu felt they had been ripped off.
“Mom, they have hepatitis B, which is infectious. It would be terrible if it got to us. Don't worry about those few dollars. I got a promotion this year, and my salary increased significantly. I'm going to report to Shenzhen soon…”
Zhang Wenyu is going to work in Shenzhen?
Deng Xiuzhen, who was about to leave, was stunned.
