The brothers thought for a while and realized that their father was right. The aunt was illiterate and it was her first time in the capital. How could she deal with so many things? They gave the money in case she was stolen or cheated again.
, but what to do?
"The person is at the door of the morgue."
The three of them quickly arrived at the door of the morgue. The woman was lying on the ground covered in dirt, hugging the man's ankles and refusing to let go, crying until she lost her humanity.
"I beg you, when you send the head of my family back, I will find a way to give you money. I really don't have any money now..."
"Sister, it's not that I'm not busy with you, I can't help you!" The man pulled his foot out hard, with a grimace on his face, almost crying.
"I am also raising a family. It is not easy for me to come to the capital to beg for food. You said that if I send you back, I will no longer get money. How will my family survive?"
"It's really not possible, eldest sister, I beg you, just let me go."
"To tell you the truth, if I don't place the bill, our whole family won't be able to open the pot. Please, can you find someone else to help you?"
"Auntie, please let this little brother go first. We have something to talk about."
Li Boqing frowned and sympathized with the two of them.
"Yes, yes, sister, please let me go first, and we can talk slowly if we have anything to say."
"If I let go, you won't leave if you let me go, right?"
Ye Yinhua's eyes were filled with tears, her face was too dirty to look at. She looked at Li Boqing and then at the man with a pair of red and swollen eyes.
Li Boqing and the man looked at each other, and the man's face was full of embarrassment.
"No, I won't let him go. Let go first. Let's sit down over there and talk slowly."
Out of trust in Li Boqing, Ye Yinhua slowly let go of her arms. Unexpectedly, the moment she completely let go and was about to stand up, the man wanted to run away.
"Why......"
Li Zhong stopped the person with quick eyes and hands, "Don't run away, I won't treat you badly."
Ye Yinhua pursed her lips and looked at several grown men standing while she sat alone. She grabbed her clothes and stood up again with some embarrassment.
"Just sit down." Seeing her restraint, Li Zhong pointed to the chair in front of the door.
He turned to look at the man and asked: "Little brother, how much does your trip cost?"
"Three, three hundred."
The man looked at the father and son carefully just now. They didn't look like rich people. Moreover, he had just told the woman the price, and it was not appropriate to ask for a higher price now.
"My price is not expensive, it's already very cheap. This is transporting a dead person! I didn't even include the cost of renting an ice coffin."
Li Zhong frowned. Even if the weather is getting colder now, without an ice coffin, the corpse will still smell like a corpse. How can it be transported back?
"Then how are you going to get lucky?"
"Just, just take it away, it's only a day and a half's journey anyway..."
"You calculate the cost of renting the ice coffin and sending this eldest sister home. Calculate the total cost and we will pay for it."
When Ye Yinhua heard this, her throat rolled, and two lines of tears flowed down again.
"Three, three hundred and five?" the man probed cautiously.
Li Zhong sighed and said helplessly: "It's your own business, you ask me if the price is right?"
"Don't worry, my dad is a policeman and won't bully you. The price is easy to negotiate. I only have one requirement: deliver the person safely."
Li Boqing was a little anxious, how could anyone do business like this!
When he heard it was the police, the man's eyes changed. He was surprised and a little awe-stricken.
"Three hundred and eighty yuan, and I'll cover her meals for the next few days."
"Boshan, give each of them two hundred. The two hundred is a deposit to ensure safety. Once they are delivered, she will pay you the other two hundred."
"Thank you! Thank you...I, I thank you..."
As soon as Li Zhong finished speaking, Ye Yinhua knelt down in front of the four of them excitedly. While thanking her excitedly, she burst into tears.
"Get up, get up, there's no need for you to be like this." Li Zhong and Li Boshan quickly stood up.
"Go back and settle down well, take good care of your children, and everything will be fine."
"Brother, what's your name?"
"Guo Shengli, you can just call me Guo San'er. Then, I'll ask someone to carry the ice coffin. We'll leave tonight."
Guo Shengli is also a neat person. As soon as the matter was finalized, he immediately got busy.
"The head of my family is right, your family are all good people, it's a good thing I met you!"
"We were deceived all the way from our hometown to the capital for medical treatment. When we got to the hospital, we had no money for treatment. Professor Shen is also a good person. Without him, we might not even be able to stay in the hospital."
"It's a pity that we arrived too late..."
"He had a rash three years ago. We were reluctant to spend money, not even buying him a plaster. Then it got worse and worse. I advised him to go to the hospital, and he said he could just tolerate it and it would be fine. I Why did you just listen to what he said?"
"He was fine. He vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, closed his eyes and disappeared, leaving us orphans and widows. We still don't know what to do next!"
“I don’t know if it has eyes or not, so why does it single out poor people like us to torture?”
Ye Yinhua seemed not to be good at words at all, but today she was sitting here vomiting her bitterness. No matter how much she shed her tears, she could not dry them, and her sleeves were all wet from her wiping.
The three of them stood there, and no one stepped forward to persuade them.
There is no way to persuade me about this kind of thing. Do you want to tell me not to be too sad?
How can you not be sad when you lose your husband? Saying not to be too sad is just a perfunctory consolation. It would be better not to say anything and let her pour out the bitter water.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid. I have to send our master back well, and I have to raise my children. I will be good!"
Ye Yinhua finally stopped crying, wiped away her tears and tried her best to say these words, as if she was speaking to them, but in fact it was more like she was speaking to herself.
Guo Shengli drove back in a small truck that had been eliminated from somewhere, carrying an ice coffin and three people.
Li Zhong checked Guo Shengli's ID card, wrote down the license plate number, asked a few simple questions, and silently registered in his mind.
He asked the two children to go back first and stayed to watch. It wasn't until he watched them load up the car and set off with Ye Yinhua that he got up and returned to the inpatient department.
On the way back, I couldn't help but touch the cigarette in my pants pocket. After thinking about it again and again, I still didn't take it out to smoke.
He only stayed outside for a moment, looked at the moon that was already hanging high in the sky, and took a few deep breaths.
When he returned to the ward, he still had a faint smile on his face towards his two sons.
"Bo Shan, please go back early. I'm here so you don't have to worry."
"Dad, why don't you go back too? I can do it myself."
There was nowhere to sleep in the hospital, so his mother slept on a chair in the corridor for the two nights he stayed with him.
Dad slept directly in the stairwell yesterday. Where could he sleep in such a cold weather?
"I promised to stay with you, but how can dad not keep his promise? Don't worry, your mom brought me a coat and a mattress, so I won't be cold."
