359: Chapter 0360: Robbed of Ergency Money at the Hospital Entrance 359: Chapter 0360: Robbed of Ergency Money at the Hospital Entrance In the intensive care unit, where family mbers of patients are not allowed to stay for long periods of ti, Li Lanfang, looking at her husband wrapped in gauze, ca out of the intensive care unit with He Xiaoqing.
In the corridor outside the intensive care unit, Li Lanfang held her head and sat there in pain, pondering.
Because she did not know whether she should withdraw all of that five hundred thousand to pay for Butcher He’s treatnt.
However, if the five hundred thousand turned out not to cure him, wouldn’t that money have been wasted?
If they had no money afterward, how would she and He Xiaoqing live on?
But now, her husband’s situation was such that she could not refrain from saving him!
Li Lanfang was truly conflicted.
He Xiaoqing, on the other hand, didn’t think too much; she felt that her father’s life was more important, believing that as long as her father was cured, they could earn money again!
“Mom, you go get the money, I’ll stay here with Dad.”
Li Lanfang glanced at He Xiaoqing, left the bench outside the ward, and went into an office next to the ergency room, where the two ergency room doctors were still inside.
Li Lanfang ca here to find out about her husband, Butcher He’s condition.
“Doctor, how is my husband doing?”
“To tell you the truth, it’s very serious,”
the ergency doctor said.
“Then is it possible for my husband to return to work normally?”
“That’s unlikely.
Even if he survives, with his legs gangrenous, they would have to be amputated, and he would have to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.”
What?
Amputation?
Li Lanfang had only thought that her husband’s condition might be very severe, requiring her long-term care, but she hadn’t imagined that Butcher He’s legs, if not treated properly, might require amputation.
This revelation chilled Li Lanfang to the bone even further.
She understood that even if she spent the fifty thousand, it might only save Butcher He’s life, but not restore his health.
Li Lanfang did not ask any more questions and left the hospital with a blank expression.
She did not ride her electric bike but just walked towards the old neighborhood.
On the way, she nearly got hit by soone because she wasn’t looking where she was going.
The passers-by cursed at Li Lanfang a few tis and then drove away.
When Li Lanfang returned to the old neighborhood and went up to the apartnt, she took out the passbook from the drawer; she saw that she had just deposited over nine thousand last month, and now the passbook had about five hundred and sixty thousand.
Out of that, the additional thirty thousand was a compensation given to He Xiaoqing after she and Ye Qiu called off their engagent for helping out at the porridge and noodle shop.
As she looked at the passbook, Li Lanfang held it and cried bitterly.
Her hoarse crying scared the neighbors, who hurriedly closed their doors and windows, not knowing what was setting Li Lanfang off in the middle of the night.
They had work or classes to attend the next day.
Early the next day, Li Lanfang still picked up the bank passbook and then headed to the bank.
Most of the money in the bank passbook had been earned by Butcher He, and even if she really had that idea, she wouldn’t dare to do so.
As Li Lanfang ca down from the building and left the old neighborhood to go to the nearby bank, the bank clerks had not yet started their shifts.
However, the residents of the old neighborhood soon heard that the previous night, Butcher He and his friends had gone to the riverside for a late-night snack and had a car accident, reportedly even getting the motorcycle stuck under a dump truck.
The residents heard that Butcher He was not going to die, but his injuries were said to be very serious.
Now the residents understood why they had heard Li Lanfang’s scream last night, and her subsequent cries and sobbing.
Early in the morning, while Ye Weidong and his wife, along with Ye Xue, were preparing breakfast, the three of them had already heard the news.
If it had been before, they certainly would have visited Butcher He at the hospital.
But now, considering the situation with Butcher He, Li Lanfang, and He Xiaoqing, they felt it was better not to get involved, especially with Li Lanfang, whom they preferred not to associate with any longer.
As Ye Qiu was just getting up and ready for breakfast, he recalled being disturbed during his cultivation last night by Li Lanfang’s roar, which had woken him and forced him to start his cultivation anew.
Just as he got up to wash up, he learned that Butcher He had been in a car accident.
A few days ago, when Ye Qiu returned, he had encountered Butcher He’s family and noticed a dark mark on Butcher He’s forehead.
He sensed that Butcher He might soon suffer a bloody disaster.
He hadn’t expected an actual car accident to occur.
If it were soone else, Ye Qiu would have offered a warning, but with Butcher He and his wife, he thought it best to stay silent.
Revealing his thoughts might have seed like a curse to Li Lanfang.
Unexpectedly, Butcher He did end up in an accident.
As Ye Weidong and his wife discussed Butcher He’s situation, Ye Qiu showed no change in expression; he had never had any interaction with Butcher He’s family from the start.
Even the forr Ye Qiu had no particular mories of Butcher He’s family, and the current Ye Qiu even less so.
After washing up and enjoying the breakfast prepared by Chen Fang and Ye Xue, Ye Qiu asked, “Dad, Mom, are we going to look at houses again today?”
“I’d like to go have a look, just like sightseeing,” Chen Fang replied.
“Mom, then I’ll take you to see so more,”
Since they still didn’t have enough money to buy a house at the mont, Ye Qiu planned to wait a few more days until they could pay in full at once, so Ye Weidong and his wife wouldn’t have to worry about a mortgage.
Ye Qiu made a call to Cai Yong, asking him to send a couple of his underlings over with a car.
anwhile, Li Lanfang arrived at the rural credit cooperative.
She sat outside the cooperative’s entrance for an hour and a half until the staff inside began their work.
Li Lanfang was there to withdraw ergency funds!
The five hundred thousand was a lot for an ordinary person.
One hundred thousand per stack, that was fifty stacks, which only a small bag could contain.
As Li Lanfang queued up and reached a teller window, the female teller inside asked, “Madam, how much would you like to withdraw?”
“Five hundred thousand.
It’s for my husband’s dical treatnt.”
The teller, seeing over five hundred thousand in the passbook, realized that withdrawing five hundred thousand would nearly empty the account.
She looked up and questioned, “Are you sure you want to withdraw five hundred thousand?”
“It’s for the ergency funds at the hospital.”
Li Lanfang replied irritably.
Because the amount to be withdrawn was substantial, the teller arranged for Li Lanfang to wait in a VIP room while she took the passbook to consult with others.
After about ten minutes and entering the passbook’s password, the cooperative began the process of withdrawing the money for her.
Fifty neat stacks of bills, ten thousand per stack, all brand new.
Looking at the money in the bag, Li Lanfang felt she had never seen so much cash in her life.
“Madam, be careful with the money.
Do you need one of our security guards to accompany you to the hospital?”
The credit cooperative had two security guards; having one of them accompany Li Lanfang to the hospital to pay the money would be much safer.
However, Li Lanfang feared that bringing a guard would attract more attention.
“No need, I can go by myself.”
Carefully clutching the small bag and holding the money bag, Li Lanfang exited the building and hailed a taxi at the entrance.
She then took the taxi towards Jiangbei’s First People’s Hospital.
Upon arriving at the entrance of Jiangbei’s First People’s Hospital, where there were many people and cars, Li Lanfang paid the taxi fare and got out.
Just as she took the money bag and was about to head toward the hospital entrance, a stranger approached.
Before she could react, her bag was snatched away by the stranger.
