Chapter 40

Qi Nuliang stayed in the hospital for only three days and hurried out of the hospital regardless of the doctor's stop. If he stayed in the hospital again, the two of them might have no money for food.Rao is like this, when I was finally discharged from the hospital and settled the bill, I also paid the fee.

Only this time did he realize what it means for poor people to be unable to live in a hospital, and he couldn't help but feel lucky, fortunately, he was injured at work, and he still had compensation.If he was accidentally injured, the medical expenses would not be affordable for him at all.

In order to save money, I was only prescribed some anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving medicines when I was discharged from the hospital.Medications have limited analgesic effects, and the pain is still unbearable when I go to bed at night.

Seeing Qi Nuliang's troubled expression, Jiang Yu put down the book in his hand and asked, "Does it hurt? I'll get you painkillers?"

Qi Nuliang frowned, his physical discomfort also made him a little irritable: "Forget it, it won't help if you eat it."

"The doctor said that the painkiller injection is still effective. I will go to the hospital tomorrow to prescribe some injections and ask the doctor in the clinic downstairs to give you some injections."

"no need."

Pain relief needles are expensive, so there is no need to spend this money.

Jiang Yu was a little anxious: "You are in such pain that you can't sleep well."

"Did it disturb you at night?" Qi Nuliang struggled to raise his legs, trying to prop them up higher.

Jiang Yu hurriedly moved a cushion from the sofa and put it on for him: "No, I'm afraid you will feel uncomfortable."

Qi Nuliang smiled: "I'm fine, it doesn't matter."

Jiang Yu wanted to say something, but seeing that Qi Nuliang had already closed his eyes and rested, he didn't try to persuade him any more.

A week later, the bruises on his body were basically healed, and the pain in his hands and feet finally eased, and he no longer had to toss and turn so hard to sleep.But the reality of not being able to work, having no income, and the little money left on my body is about to bottom out, is more anxious than the discomfort in my body.

While Jiang Yu was going to school, Qi Nuliang slowly moved to the canteen downstairs, called the construction site office, and asked if the boss was back and when he could be reimbursed.

The news I got was that the boss won't come back until next month, and we have to wait for the reimbursement.

Qi Nuliang asked when his salary would be paid.

Manager Huang said in a business-like manner, that it was agreed before coming here, that the construction site is no different, there is no monthly salary, and there is no fixed time for salary payment.This time, Mr. Liu, the contractor, left for so long to discuss a sum of money with the developer above, and asked Qi Nuliang to wait.

If we wait any longer, we will almost run out of money to eat.The rabbit bit when it got anxious, Qi Nuliang finally couldn't hold back the fire, and yelled at Manager Huang on the other end of the phone.After yelling, Manager Huang changed his words, saying that he would call Mr. Liu first to ask, and then tell Qi Nuliang when he has the letter.

After hanging up the phone, he dragged his inconvenient hands and feet out of the canteen, sat on a bench in the courtyard and smoked a cigarette to get rid of his breath.

The New Year is coming soon, followed by the Lunar New Year, and it seems that this year is coming to an end.

Although last year's Spring Festival was difficult, at least others were okay. I still hope that this year I can be more prosperous financially. In addition to buying new year's goods, clothes that should be bought, and New Year's money that should be given out, it is best to buy a TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala. .However, in the end, not to mention having no money, and dragging such a handicapped body, it is really unlucky.

Thinking about the stuttering this year, there was no smooth time.It's not that Qi Nuliang himself doesn't know that he has been out of touch with society for too long, he doesn't have any education and skills, and the key is that he doesn't know how to behave.People like him struggled in society, and it was always a bit rough.

After finishing a cigarette, I happened to see Rong Bamei who was taking out the trash in her slippers.Rong Bamei also saw him, and walked over after throwing out the trash.

"Do you smoke?"

Qi Nuliang took out the cigarette case and pointed it at her.Bamei Rong took a cigarette from the cigarette case and sat down beside Qi Nuliang.Qi Nuliang surrounded the flame, lit it for her, and then lit it for himself.

"I haven't thanked you for borrowing money yet."

"It's okay." Bamei Rong waved her hand holding a cigarette, and tapped the plaster cast on his leg, "Can your leg get better in the future?"

"The doctor said to pay attention, it should be back to normal."

"That's okay, you take care of yourself."

Qi Nuliang scratched his head, and was a little embarrassed when he talked about it: "I thought I could get work-related compensation when I was discharged from the hospital, but the boss didn't come back, and the manager couldn't go through the process. I called just now, and the manager said that the boss will come back next month. The money... …I can only pay you back next month.”

"Don't worry, let's talk about it after you recover from your injury and find a job again."

Qi Nuliang glanced at Bamei Rong, and from this angle, he saw her side face behind the fluffy curly hair, her raised nose and thick curly eyelashes, and a new pimple on her lip, bright red , the skin is very smooth and delicate.

He didn't know how old she was, and he began to think how could she be a woman in her thirties with a child that big.At this moment, he felt that something was wrong again. She was actually very young, but she had a different charm when she was young.

Thinking of this, Qi Nuliang hurriedly stopped, withdrew his gaze, and took a deep drag on his cigarette.

He didn't expect Bamei Rong to say that. They have no relatives and no reason, and 5000 yuan is not a small amount. Why did she treat him so well.Qi Nuliang is not a thoughtful person, so he just speaks up when he thinks of it.

"I didn't expect you to be willing to borrow so much money...We didn't have any friendship before."

Rong Bamei lit the cigarette ash: "It's not that I lent it to you. That day Jiang Yu was drenched and stood pitifully at the door. I couldn't help but lend it to him."

Speaking of which, this was the first time Jiang Yu came back to her and asked her for help.

"So you are such a soft-hearted person." Qi Nuliang smiled.

"Yao Huilan helped me a lot back then, this time I repaid her favor."

Bamei Rong blew out a puff of gray mist, looked at the gloomy sky, and remembered when she first came to the daily chemical factory eight years ago.

She was cheated by a man with a family back then, and became pregnant out of wedlock at the age of 16.After being scolded and beaten by her family, her mother took her to have an abortion.Sitting in the dimly lit small clinic, she didn't know whether it was fear or reluctance, she ran away while her mother was going to the bathroom, and made a decision while running, she wanted this child.

She threatened the man with her stomach full and got some money from him.Then I found a cheap place to live in a daily chemical factory, planning to hide and have a baby.

I still remember that at that time she was dazed and helpless, very scared and inexperienced, let alone thinking about what would happen in the future, watching her belly getting bigger and bigger every day with trepidation.Only she knew how difficult it was during that time, and she was able to survive it all because of her ignorant and fearless courage, and Yao Huilan's help.

Although everyone could see her "indiscretion" at a glance, Yao Huilan took the initiative to talk to her and help her.Perhaps all mothers have a natural closeness to women who are about to become mothers, a kind of pity and tenderness from those who have experienced it.

It was Yao Huilan who sent her to the hospital when she gave birth.After giving birth to Rong Xiaodie, it was Yao Huilan who taught her how to take care of the child.Unfortunately, because of a man, she and Yao Huilan had a falling out.Rong Bamei resented her until she died.

"She's always been a nice person."

"Yes, so many people in this area like her, so no matter how unlikable Jiang Yu is, everyone is willing to give him a bite to eat. The more people like her, the more people hate her, even if she is dead , that kid is still being bullied because of his mother."

Qi Nuliang didn't quite understand these words, but he understood one sentence.

"Jiang Yu is very nice and likable."

Rong Bamei gave Qi Nuliang a meaningful look.

"It's just that his personality is a bit weird. It's not his fault. After all this, no one can be carefree anymore." Qi Nuliang stubbed out his cigarette butt, still wanting to know what happened to Yao Huilan in the past few years when he was away, "My sister ..."

What he was about to ask was interrupted by a clear "Mom".The little girl stood at the entrance of the corridor, shouting at the top of her voice.

"Hey..." Rong Bamei took the last puff of cigarette, "My daughter called, I'll go back first."

Qi Nuliang didn't have time to inquire more, so he hopped on one leg and entered another unit.He wondered to himself, Bamei Rong didn't seem to be working either, what on earth was she doing to support her and her daughter, and she still had money left over.

A few days later, Manager Huang sent him Qi Nuliang's salary.This incident happened within a full month, and the total salary was only more than 2000 yuan.

Qi Nuliang asked about work-related compensation, but Manager Huang still said the same thing. Mr. Liu hasn't come back yet, so he can't make the decision.

"Then when will he come back?"

Manager Huang spread his hands and looked innocent: "Mr. Liu is a boss after all, and he has contracted several construction sites. I can't estimate his time. Don't worry, Xiao Qi. He will give you your compensation as soon as he comes back. A person has a few assets. A big boss with tens of millions, can he care about your little money?"

"But I really need it urgently."

"I know, as soon as he comes back, I promise to notify you immediately."

"Remember to let me know."

"Sure, your salary boss nodded, I will give you special treatment immediately, and I will send you a lot of money, don't worry."

Only then did Qi Nuliang remember that Manager Huang had sent him his salary all the way, but he didn't even invite anyone to drink a glass of water.He was going to pour water, but manager Huang thought it was troublesome, so he asked him to have a good rest and left.

Then comes the New Year.Qi Nuliang's hands and feet were inconvenient, so he invited Jiang Yu to eat outside.

Not long after the New Year, the winter vacation came.

Jiang Yu did well in the final exam, and his English has been greatly improved, and he has already reached the passing line.It's just that the increase in mathematics is limited. After half a semester, I only scored more than 40 points in the test.

Qi Nuliang knew that it was not Jiang Yu's fault, the child had already worked very hard.With this in mind, he gritted his teeth and allocated a part of his little extra money to Jiang Yu to continue tutoring during the holidays.The big deal is that Bamei Rong owes more money to her brazenly, but since the child's study has improved, she cannot stop it.

Seeing that the Lunar New Year was approaching, Qi Nuliangshou was fine and no longer needed others to take care of him.The leg is almost better, and it's time to remove the cast for reexamination and rehabilitation.But since he hadn't received the compensation, his money had bottomed out, and he couldn't do anything.
