Chapter 62 - 62 061 Give her a star for her birthday (second update)

Chapter 62: 061: Give her a star for her birthday (second update) Chapter 62: 061: Give her a star for her birthday (second update) Sister Tao was out, and Granny Zhu was helping to watch the fruit shop.

Wen Changling was supposed to work the day shift today, but a colleague whom she had helped in the past took over her shift, so she had some free time and also helped out at the fruit shop.

Sister Tao did not come back until after ten o’clock.

Granny Zhu asked her, “Is that old lady alright?”

“She’s fine, just spent quite a bit of money,” Sister Tao sighed, “The old lady insisted on having some tests done, and that cost Shifang over two thousand three hundred.”

Liu Shifang is also a resident of Lotus Pond Street.

Last summer, her husband died trying to save someone from drowning. Granny couldn’t handle the blow of a parent burying their child and suffered a stroke that left her partially paralyzed. Then, last winter, her child was diagnosed with a heart condition.

Sister Tao was originally going to the school to watch Aiguo and Aimin’s Children’s Day performance, but on the way, she bumped into Liu Shifang. Shifang’s electric bicycle had collided with an elderly person, and she herself was injured. Sister Tao, being kind-hearted, skipped the performance to accompany Shifang in dealing with the accident.

“What kind of tests were so expensive?” Granny Zhu had called and inquired, as the elderly person had only been slightly scraped, nothing serious.

“A full body scan,” Sister Tao replied, “They first went to a major hospital, and as per the old lady’s request for tests, the big hospital asked for three to four thousand. But the old lady mentioned she knew a smaller private hospital which, although not as large, is still a regular hospital where the tests would be cheaper. Seeing that the old lady’s condition wasn’t serious, we called a car and went to the smaller hospital for tests.”

“They weren’t ripping you off, were they?”

It wasn’t that Granny Zhu was overly suspicious, but nowadays the methods of scamming people by staging accidents are becoming more and more numerous and unpredictable.

“Shouldn’t be, I watched the tests being done,” Sister Tao said with a worried expression, “Shifang injured her own hand too, and she was reluctant to spend the money. She didn’t even get an X-ray, just bought two bottles of red flower oil from the pharmacy. She just lost her job a couple of days ago, and hasn’t found a way to pay for Wangwang’s surgery yet. Now she’s down another two to three thousand. Fate really does seem to twist the same rope tighter.”

Granny Zhu also sighed.

Wangwang was almost five years old, and his heart surgery couldn’t be delayed any longer.

Changling, who had been silent by their side, suddenly asked Sister Tao, “Do you have a photo?”

“What photo?”

“A photo of the accident scene.”

“I have it, I took some,” Sister Tao responded.

Sister Tao showed the photos to Changling.

Changling recognized this elderly person. Not long ago, this person had also been hit in front of Dihong Hospital’s entrance, also by an electric bicycle, and the elderly person had also spoken of knowing a cheaper private hospital.
