Chapter 538 Compensation
At the hospital, during the Lunar New Year holiday, there were hardly any doctors on duty. When they saw a group of people with bloodied heads, the doctors and nurses were startled. Upon hearing that it was a car accident, they were hesitant to take on the case.
"Doctor, is my husband alright?"
Gou Lanju looked at Tai Angzhi, who hadn't woken up the whole way, and asked somewhat helplessly.
She's starting to regret it; if she had stopped Tai Ang from driving, this wouldn't have happened. Even her fourth sister-in-law, who usually suffers in silence, has lost her temper, so this matter probably won't be over so easily.
"Ah? Let me see."
A half-baked doctor examined Tai Ang first, while the nurses treated the other children's wounds.
In fact, Tai Angzhi had already woken up, but he didn't dare to open his eyes. He didn't know how to explain it to Hua Jingxing. He had heard that the BMW was very expensive, and he simply couldn't afford to pay for it.
The doctor saw that Tai Angzhi was awake, even though his eyes were closed, because his eyeballs were moving. His panicked heart finally calmed down. He pried open Tai Angzhi's eyelids and listened to his heartbeat. Everything was fine. The only thing that looked scary was that he had bumped his head and was bleeding.
Can you hear me?
The doctor looked at Tai Ang, who had his eyes closed, and asked.
Tai Angzhi tried to play dead, but Tai Ranzhi and his brothers could tell that he had already woken up. Tai Ranzhi even pinched him hard.
"Ouch! Who..."
Tai Ang looked at the group of people in front of him with great spirits, but didn't say anything more.
"How many are there? Who are these people?"
The doctor held up two fingers and asked.
Tai Angzhi didn't want to answer the doctor's questions, his eyes darting around.
"Doctor, if he doesn't recognize us, we're leaving."
He calmly made a ruthless move.
"If you're leaving, take the people with you."
Not only did Tai Ran and the others realize that Tai Ang was still faking it, but the doctor did too. Although he didn't know the specific reason, he didn't have time to waste with them. It was the Lunar New Year, and he already disliked being on duty, and now he had to deal with this kind of person.
"Fourth brother, you can't just ignore this!"
Gou Lanju, unaware of the truth, thought that Tai Ranzhi was truly indifferent and became somewhat anxious.
“He doesn’t even know me, why should I care about him? Besides, he brought this on himself, who can stop him?”
"Fourth..."
Tai Angzhi realized that if he continued to pretend, there was a real possibility that no one would care anymore.
"Hehe! It's good that you recognize me. The doctor will take another look at him."
"It's nothing serious. He's conscious, breathing normally, and his heartbeat is normal. The wound on his head just needs to be bandaged up."
As a professional, the doctor couldn't find anything seriously wrong. At that time, the district hospital didn't have many diagnostic instruments.
"Doctor, are you really alright?"
Gou Lanju asked with some concern.
"Hmm! I can't see anything wrong. If you're worried, you can go to a hospital in the city to have it checked."
The doctor is trying to get the person away.
"Third sister-in-law, what do you mean?"
The eldest brother, Tai Chun, turned to Gou Lanju and asked, "They think there's no problem, but they don't want to take responsibility for any problems that might arise later."
"What do you think, Fourth Brother?"
When faced with important matters, Gou Lanju still consults Tai Ranzhi, who is the most promising person in the family.
"Third Brother, how are you feeling? If it's nothing serious, have the nurse bandage your wound."
Tai Ran looked at Tai Angzhi lying on the bed with an unfriendly gaze.
"I just feel a little dizzy."
Actually, he wasn't dizzy at all. He fainted before because he was scared and worried that Hua Jingxing would make him pay compensation.
"Then you can stay in the hospital for two days and have your third sister-in-law take care of you. If you feel worse, we'll go to a hospital in the city."
Tai Ran didn't rule out any possibility of a definitive answer.
"Oh? I can take care of them! I have two children at home too."
Gou Lanju was somewhat reluctant to take care of the child and wanted to pass the responsibility on to someone else.
"Don't worry, child, I'll have them come to my house for dinner these next couple of days."
Tai Ranzhi didn't want to give her any excuse to be lazy.
"Huh? That's it!"
Gou Lanju was somewhat reluctant, but she had no choice. Everyone knows that taking care of a patient is tiring, and it would be much better to stay at home.
"I'll cover your medical expenses first, and you can pay me back later. As for Jingxing's car, you can compensate me however you see fit."
Tai Ranzhi knew that Gou Lanju was the type to take advantage of others, so he made sure to say the unpleasant things upfront.
Gou Lanju instinctively wanted to retort, but Tai Angzhi tugged at her clothes and winked at her.
Gou Lanju looked unwell, but she didn't dare say anything.
Tai Ran paid the hospital fees, leaving only Tai Angzhi and Gou Lanju behind, and then returned with the two carriages of people who had come in a hurry.
Although Tai Ranzhi is the youngest child in the family, he is the most successful and has been assigned a job in the city. Therefore, his older brothers listen to him very much. In particular, Hua Jingxing, out of respect for him, has given his older brothers special attention and guidance, and the older brothers are all very grateful to this younger brother.
After arriving home, Tai Ran, fearing that her parents would worry, explained the situation at the hospital.
"Oh! It's alright, it's alright."
The old lady patted her chest and said, a slight smile appearing on her worried face. She was genuinely worried that something might have happened to her third son.
"Ranzhi, the food is ready. Let Jingxing and his elder brothers wash their hands and eat."
Sheng Fang wiped her hands on her apron and started preparing the meal.
Without the third son, Tai Angzhi, and Gou Lanju, the atmosphere at home became more relaxed, and everyone had a smile on their face, including the third son's two children.
"Jingxing, I'm sorry, how much will it cost to repair your car? Let my third brother pay for it."
He calmly raised his glass to express his apology.
"Yes? Brother Jingxing, it's all Lao San's fault, please bear with him."
The eldest brother, Tai Chunzhi, also raised his glass, smiling obsequiously.
Because of this clueless third brother, they all felt embarrassed.
“We couldn’t have imagined it, and Jingxing and his brother certainly couldn’t have imagined it either. It’s the New Year, and we don’t want to think about these upsetting things.”
Second Brother Taiyi clinked glasses with Hua Jingxing.
"It's alright, the car repair won't cost much, Third Brother doesn't need to pay. Happy New Year, Grandpa and Grandma, let me toast you."
Hua Jingxing said casually.
He has money now and doesn't care about it; what he cares about is this brotherhood.
"Nephew Jingxing, of my four sons, Ranzhi is the most promising, and Chunzhi and Yizhi are also sensible and know what's important. Only this third son is a bit spoiled by me, so please bear with him."
I heard from Ranzhi that you and Eryatou helped him connect with all the businesses in our village, which led to his success and earned him the attention of the leaders. You also arranged jobs for his brothers, and they're all doing very well now. The old man won't say anything, but he understands and thanks you for your care of our family.
Regarding the third son's matter, you shouldn't suffer any losses. Do what needs to be done and teach him a lesson. As for the things his wife said that she shouldn't have, don't take them to heart; she's just someone who doesn't know her place.
For Ranzhi's sake, you two should continue to interact as usual. Don't let Lao San's matter cause any rift between you.
The old man finally understood. Even his fourth son's wife, a woman of such high moral character, had lost her temper today; she must have been angered by his third son's wife. If he and his wife had tried to smooth things over in this important matter, it wouldn't just have hurt his fourth daughter-in-law, but also his sons.
The old man was able to educate the Tai Ran brothers, which shows he wasn't a simple man. As for the third brother, Tai Ang, he was an exception.
“Grandpa, I treat Ranzhi like my own brother, and his brother is also my brother. We’re all family, so there’s no need for formalities.”
Hua Jingxing spoke from the bottom of his heart, without any pretense.
“Nephew, if you say so, I’m relieved. I was really worried that the matter with the third brother would affect your friendship with Ranzhi.”
However, following the old man's advice, the matter of the third son cannot be left unresolved; otherwise, it will put Ran in a difficult position.
It was as if the old man had suddenly gained insight, and the biased curtain in front of him was lifted.
