"Grandma Zheng, are you sure the number is correct?"
Jiang Bai was really a little suspicious when he was hung up two consecutive calls.
Zheng Aixia's expression darkened and she whispered: "Maybe the boss is busy, why don't you call my daughter and try it. The number is XXX..."
"good."
Jiang Bai nodded and dialed a number again.
“Dududu…”
The phone rang for a long time before it was answered.
A crisp "crackling" sound of collision suddenly came from the receiver of the phone, and a very loud voice of speaking and shouting.
Jiang Bai vaguely heard words like "90,000" and "touch".
I guess where the chess and card room is it?
"Hey, who?"
A woman's voice came.
Jiang Bai said: "Is it Ms. Liu Meiling? Your mother Zheng Aixia suddenly fainted not long ago and is now in the Third Hospital of the City. Come here quickly."
"Oh, I'm busy, let the old lady go to her son, why are you looking for me? Alas! Wait a minute, I'll touch it!"
“Dududu…”
Well, the other party hung up the phone again.
"Grandma Zheng, do you have any other relatives?"
Jiang Bai looked at Zheng Aixia helplessly and asked.
He understood the attitude of a girl in this son.
To put it bluntly, I just don’t want to care about the elderly anymore.
Jiang Bai was very disgusted with and disgusted with this situation. In his opinion, no matter how bad a person is or how evil a person is, he must not be unfilial to his parents who have raised you!
Filial piety comes first in all virtues.
If you don’t even respect your parents, you are no longer worthy of being called a human being.
But this is someone else's family matter after all. As the saying goes, it is difficult for a clean official to make a decision. What's more, Jiang Bai and Zheng Aixia are just passers-by who meet by chance.
He can't get involved in other people's family affairs too much.
But now Zheng Aixia's family really needs to come here. First, the old lady needs to be hospitalized for a few days. It is definitely not possible to have no one to take care of her. Second, someone has to pay the money.
Jiang Bai paid a few hundred yuan in medical expenses. This amount of money was a drop in his mouth for him. If the other party was willing to pay it back, Jiang Bai would not bother to ask for it if he didn't take the initiative.
But Zheng Aixia will definitely incur subsequent expenses in the hospital. No one will pay the money in advance. If no family members come to pay the money... After all, the hospital does not open a sanitary hall, right?
That's why Jiang Bai wanted to help Zheng Aixia contact her children before leaving.
It can be regarded as sending Buddha to the West, helping people to the end.
Unexpectedly, two people had this result in succession.
Zheng Aixia's face also became a little sad. She sighed, picked up her cell phone from the bedside table, and called her second son in person.
"Hey, Zhigang..."
After the phone was opened, Zheng Aixia spoke carefully.
As a result, before the other party finished speaking, they were interrupted impatiently.
"What are you doing?"
Zheng Aixia uses an elderly machine with simple functions, large fonts, large keys, and more importantly, the sound is very high.
So even if he didn't turn on the hands-free, Jiang Bai could still hear what the other party said clearly.
Zheng Aixia said crampedly: "Zhigang, mom doesn't want to bother you... I don't know what happened this afternoon, but I suddenly fainted. Fortunately, a kind-hearted person helped mom beat 120..."
"Why aren't you doing so much?"
"You are already buying loess with half your body. Can you make less trouble!"
"You said you can't be honest with your family? You have to sell your broken vegetables to make a lot of money, just to make trouble for others!"
Liu Zhigang's tone was full of complaints and blame.
There is no word at all about my mother's physical condition.
Those who know say they are mother and son, while those who don’t know think they are enemies.
Zheng Aixia's hand holding the phone trembled slightly twice, and whispered: "Mom doesn't want it either, but she's old, there are some things... Oh, Zhigang, are you busy now? If you are not busy, you can do it.
The Third Hospital of the City.”
"I'm busy, of course I'm busy. If you have something to do, why do you look for those two big ones?"
Hearing this, Zheng Aixia was completely desperate.
She only has two children and one daughter in total, and now she doesn't care about her.
But at this moment, Liu Zhigang suddenly changed his mind and said, "Wait a minute, which hospital are you here?"
Zheng Aixia's eyes suddenly burst into her spirits and she hurriedly said: "I'm in the Third Hospital of the City, the Inpatient Department 502."
"Is the person who beat 120 still here?"
"Yeah, still here."
"Don't let him go, I'll arrive right away."
"I know this. I have paid the medical expenses for me. We have to pay them back."
"Okay, stop talking, I'll arrive right away."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Zheng Aixia's face was slightly relaxed, and she apologized to Jiang Bai and said, "Young man, I'll make you laugh, but don't worry, my youngest son will arrive soon. I will ask him to return the medical expenses you paid for me."
"good."
Jiang Bai smiled slightly, sat on the hospital bed next to him and waited.
Although Zheng Aixia said it very well, he vaguely felt that things would not be that simple.
Just because of Liu Zhigang's attitude towards his mother, this person's character can be seen.
Jiang Bai doesn't believe that such people will pay the money honestly.
But he decided to wait here.
If Liu Zhigang was happy to give money, it would be fine, if he was disgusting...
Sorry, Jiang Bai is dedicated to curing evil people!
Less than half an hour later, a middle-aged man in his early forties, with a thin figure and a slightly loose and fat gray suit hurried into the ward.
"Zhigang, you are here, this one is..."
"It's just that you hit my mother, right?"
Zheng Aixia also wanted to introduce her benefactor to Liu Zhigang, but the latter didn't even look at him. Instead, she rushed straight to Jiang Bai, and as soon as she spoke, she was provoking a criminal attitude.
"Zhigang, you made a mistake. Mom fainted by herself. It has nothing to do with the young man. He is doing good deeds." Zheng Aixia hurriedly explained.
But Liu Zhigang didn't listen at all and still stared at Jiang Bai fiercely, "Boy! You knocked my mother into the hospital. What are you going to do about this?"
Jiang Bai frowned and said, "Your mother was not hit by me."
"Why do you care if you don't hit me?" Liu Zhigang asked back with his neck in his mouth.
Jiang Bai frowned even deeper: "I just passed by and saw your mother falling to the ground, kindly called her first aid number and paid the medical bill. If you don't thank me, forget it, what does this mean? You want to cheat someone
Is it?"
"You fucking fart!"
Liu Zhigang cursed with a blushing face and thick neck, grabbed Jiang Bai's collar and yelled: "It must be yours! If it weren't for guilt, how could you take the initiative to pay?"
"Do you think you are the savior?"
"Boy, I tell you, my mother is over 70 years old and has a brittle body. Now she looks like she has no problem, but there will definitely be a big hidden danger!"
"You have to lose money!"
Liu Zhigang stared at Jiang Bai and gritted his teeth and said, "I won't cheat you, but this matter will definitely not be solved without 200,000 yuan. Don't worry, pay the money quickly!"
Jiang Bai's expression became cold, and he patted Liu Zhigang's hand away and said in a deep voice: "I'll say it again, it has nothing to do with me!"
"Zhigang, it really has nothing to do with him. It was his mother who fainted himself!"
Zheng Aixia was extremely weak and had a pale face, so she forced herself to sit up.
As soon as I finished speaking, I started coughing violently.
"My mother is so confused, but don't be complacent. The old lady is not clear-headed, but I still have me!"
Liu Zhigang's eyes flashed twice, raised his hand and pointed to the door, and said to Jiang Bai: "You go out first, I have something to say to my mother."
"But don't want to run away, I'll tell you that there are surveillance everywhere now, and I can get you back if you run away!"
Jiang Bai raised the corner of his mouth and walked out of the ward.
He knew what Liu Zhigang wanted to say to Zheng Aixia.
Jiang Bai has seen through this person's nature.
But he wanted to see what Zheng Aixia would be.
Liu Zhigang locked the door, then ran to the hospital bed, gritted his teeth at Zheng Aixia, "Mom! Can you stop being so stubborn?"
"Such a good opportunity. As long as you bite it to death, he hit it, we can ask him for money."
"That's 200,000 yuan, think about it! With this money, I can provide you with a good life and a good life, and improve your family's situation. Why not do it?"
After hearing Liu Zhigang's words, Zheng Aixia was so angry that she trembled all over.
"Zhigang!"
"We are poor and cannot be poor. Jiang Bai is my mother's benefactor. How can you do such a thing that is worse than a beast!"
"You have to be a person with conscience!"
Although the old lady is old, she is still very sensible.
In today's era, there are too few good people like Jiang Bai.
People are afraid of being cheated, fearing that they can't get into trouble.
If it weren't for Jiang Bai's help, maybe Zheng Aixia wouldn't have woken up again after fainting.
There is nothing wrong with saying that he is the old lady's life-saving benefactor.
Now Liu Zhigang is actually going to extort money from him!
How could the old lady agree?
"Why is it that old lady you are so awesome!"
"Conscience? How much is conscience worth!"
Liu Zhigang frowned and growled:
"What era is now? I think you really fell down and your mind was confused."
"I'll ask you, what matters to be rich?"
"My dad has long been dead, and you are incompetent, so you can't help but drag us down."
"Now you have finally got such a good opportunity. You can earn 200,000 with just saying a word. Why not?"
Liu Zhigang was extremely excited and his face turned red.
This is his dream opportunity.
As long as the old guy agreed to cooperate, he was sure to pull a handful of wool from Jiang Bai.
Even if you need less than 200,000, there is still hope for 120,000 to squad, but if you don’t want to get it, it’s okay to have 80,000 or 90,000?
Anyway, how could Liu Zhigang easily miss this opportunity?
"Beast! Beast!"
"How could I give birth to such a bastard like you!"
Zheng Aixia was so excited that her hands were trembling, pointing at Liu Zhigang and scolding, "That young man is my savior. You actually want to cheat others, you... get out of here! Get out!"
"You are so confused. I am your son. Who is he? That's a stranger!"
"You are scolding me like this for a stranger now?"
Liu Zhigang shouted in anger: "I'll tell you clearly. If you agree to ask for money, I will be guarding you and taking care of you in the hospital these days. If you don't agree, I will leave now and I will never care about you."
"At that time, you will see whether your savior will care about you! Humph!"
Zheng Aixia still had a firm attitude and shouted at Liu Zhigang: "Get out! I don't have to worry about it, you get out! Cough! Cough cough..."
"You old fool, you're going to piss me to death!"
Liu Zhigang was so angry that he jumped: "How many years do you have to live? Even if you don't care about my son, you have to take care of your grandson, right?"
"Xiaobo will graduate from college in two years. I don't have the money to buy a house or a car for him. In this era, who has no house or a car, who will follow him?"
"Do you have the heart to see your biological grandson beat a bachelor for the rest of your life?"
Seeing that Liu Zhigang could not convince Zheng Aixia, he had to bring out his son to talk about the matter.
It is said that the elderly are relatives from generation to generation.
Even for the sake of grandson, Zheng Aixia has to nod, right?
However……
Zheng Aixia just looked at Liu Zhigang with disappointment, then lay on the bed, turned over and twisted to the other side.
"You go."
Zheng Aixia spoke with a very calm tone and almost no emotional fluctuations.
She was also very disappointed with the only youngest son who was willing to come to the hospital.
It turns out that the reason why he came here was not to take care of his mother, but to extort money!
What kind of evil did I do? Why do all three children do this?
Seeing Zheng Aixia's action, Liu Zhigang knew that it would be useless for him to say anything else.
He was so angry that he cursed.
What a great opportunity to get rich.
Why didn't this old thing know how to grasp it?
Liu Zhigang vented his anger and walked out of the ward in anger.
Come to Jiang Bai.
"My mother said that you pushed her down, but I won't make things difficult for you because you helped you get 120 yuan and paid a little medical expenses."
"Just pay 30,000 yuan."
Liu Zhigang still didn't give up.
Although it would be impossible to extort a large amount of money without Zheng Aixia's cooperation, he saw Jiang Bai young and thought about scaring him and might be able to get some money.
It’s natural to be successful, but it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t.
"Boy, you'd better give the money while I haven't changed my mind. If I keep going, it won't be a problem that ten thousand yuan can solve."
"And I tell you that your behavior has constituted intentional injury. If I call the police, do you know that you will be in jail? It's less than three years!"
Liu Zhigang stared at Jiang Bai, lowered his voice and gritted his teeth.
"oh."
Jiang Bai gently raised his eyelids, his face full of inconsistency: "Then call the police."
"you!……"
Liu Zhigang didn't expect that he would be so tough!
"Boy, I'm asking you to pay the money now because I'm willing to settle it privately with you, and I'm giving you a chance!"
"You'd better think clearly whether you can't find a partner after three years of jail, or you're willing to pay 30,000 yuan."
"It's not difficult to choose between three years and 30,000, right?"
Jiang Bai smiled coldly, and did not speak, but took out his cell phone and started calling the police: "Hey, I want to call the police. Someone extorted me 30,000 yuan. I am on the fifth floor of the Inpatient Department of the Third Hospital of the Municipal Hospital, yes,
OK, I'll wait for you."
"You are fucking crazy! Call the police and fuck you!"
Liu Zhigang's mentality collapsed.
This guy can't afford to play with him, why do you call the police if you disagree?
"I suddenly felt unwell and went home first, but I'll tell you this."
After saying a word, Liu Zhigang fled in panic.
He had no confidence to wait for the police here.
Jiang Bai didn't stop him either.
If you can run away, the monk can’t run away from the temple.
Anyway, he has recorded it, and the police can always find him.
Jiang Bai shook his head and stood up and returned to the ward.
"Young man, I apologize to you for my son. Oh, I'm really sorry." Zheng Aixia's eyes were red and her face was full of apology.
Jiang Bai waved his hand and said it was okay.
He knew that Zheng Aixia did not agree with Liu Zhigang's approach.
Otherwise, how could the virtue of the latter be reduced from 200,000 to 30,000?
It must have been Liu Zhigang who was fooling people just now. If he met someone who had no social experience and was timid, he might have been fooled and deceived and paid off the money.
But unfortunately, he met Jiang Bai.
This is a handsome guy who calls the police if he disagrees and sues him if he disagrees.
Originally, Jiang Bai planned to wait for Zheng Aixia's family to come, so he left.
As for Zheng Aixia's children who are filial to her, to be honest, although Jiang Bai doesn't like her, he is not a saint, and it is impossible for him to care about everything.
There are so many poor people in the world. If you see each other, you can't help it.
But Liu Zhi just happened to die and actually extorted him money.
Mr. Jiang said, when did he suffer this loss?
So he called the police directly.
However, with Liu Zhigang's behavior, it is difficult to commit extortion, and it can even be said to be almost impossible.
At best, it is an illegal act. It is estimated that it will be done if you detain it for a few days and pay a few hundred dollars.
Article 49 of the Public Security Administration Punishment Law stipulates that those who steal, fraud, loot, rob, extort, or intentionally damage public and private property shall be detained for not more than five days but not more than ten days, and may be fined not more than five hundred yuan;
If the circumstances are serious, the detention will be imposed on a period of not more than ten days and not more than fifteen days, and a fine of not more than one thousand yuan may be imposed.
Liu Zhigang's blackmailing behavior is not particularly bad.
But he is a complete scumbag!
Such a slight punishment is simply too cheap for him.
Not only Liu Zhigang, but also his elder brother Liu Zhihua and elder sister Liu Meiling.
None of the three children is filial to the old mother. She doesn't care about her on weekdays and doesn't care about her. Now she's been in the hospital and doesn't even come to see her.
The only youngest son who came here was to extort money.
As soon as I saw that the money-extortion failed, I left.
Such people should not only be condemned by morality, but also be severely punished by law.
Jiang Bai once heard him mention a crime in a chat with Luo Dazhang, called "abandonment".
When many people hear the word "abandonment", their first reaction may be to abandon their babies.
This is true, but it is inaccurate.
The object of abandoning sin is not only infants, but also elderly, sick or other people who do not have the ability to live independently.
If a person who is under the obligation to support refuses to support them, and the circumstances are serious, it constitutes the crime of abandonment.
It is worth noting that this is "support" rather than "support".
This difference in terms of wording reflects the rigor of the law.
Generally speaking, raising refers to "protecting and raising". The raising relationship is between elders and juniors, and it is the protection and raising of incapacitated people (mainly minors), emphasizing education and protection.
.
But the concept of support is relatively larger.
It generally refers to the rights and obligations relationship between specific relatives, which exist according to the clear provisions of the law, provide mutual economic support and mutual assistance and care for each other in life.
It covers three specific forms: "raising" of elders' relatives, "raising" between peer relatives, and "raising" of younger relatives to elder relatives.
Zheng Aixia's three children refused to fulfill her obligation to support her. This behavior may be suspected of abandoning her!
This time, Jiang Bai is preparing to help Zheng Aixia take it seriously.
