254 Hospitalized
At this moment, Xiao Sheng was holding his abdomen and sweating profusely from the pain. Fortunately, as soon as the two of them reached the main road, they saw a man on a tricycle.
The man was a warm-hearted person. He pedaled the tricycle quickly and sent the two of them to the nearest hospital.
As soon as Xiao Sheng arrived at the hospital, he was pushed into the operating theater. As Zeng Li looked at the closed door of the operating theater, he heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he immediately remembered that he had to inform Yu Bing.
Yu Bing spent the entire afternoon in the factory bargaining with Section Chief Mr. Ma. In the end, Mr. Ma lowered the price by 300 yuan. Although it was still over budget, she was unfamiliar with S City after all, so she couldn’t pull strings. Yu Bing was already satisfied that she got a 300 yuan discount.
Yu Bing handed over the deposit of the 2,000 yuan that Zeng Li had given her the day before yesterday. Yu Bing felt distressed about giving away so much money so soon. However, when she saw the contract signed by the two parties, she couldn’t help but smile because this meant that the food factory had advanced into modern mechanization and its development had taken another step forward.
As Chief Ma registered the delivery information, he asked, “Miss Yu, when should we send this machine over?”
Yu Bing thought about how Xiao Sheng had already consulted with the hospitals, and the rest had to wait until he brought Xiao Li over for a checkup. The earlier they went back, the earlier Xiao Sheng could bring Xiao Li over. Hence, she decided to return to He Mountain Village tomorrow. “Please send it over tomorrow.”
After Mr. Ma recorded the register time, he said, “We’ll leave at eight tomorrow. Don’t be late.”
After the negotiation, Yu Bing felt relieved. She strolled around outside for a while before returning to the guest house leisurely.
As soon as Yu Bing entered the guest house, she saw her name on the big blackboard behind the front desk. This blackboard was a little like a message board. After guests who had missed calls returned to the guest house, they could find out who had looked for them through this method.
Yu Bing thought that it was a call from the factory, so she took out her identification and went to the front desk to ask, “Hello, I’m Yu Bing. Who called?”
After the young lady at the front desk confirmed Yu Bing’s identity, she opened the notebook in her hand. “It’s a call from the hospital. A person called Zeng Li left a message for you. He said that Xiao Sheng is injured and asked you to go to the hospital after you return.”
When Yu Bing heard this, she hurriedly stuck her head out to look at the message in the record book. After confirming it, she hurriedly left. Fortunately, Yu Bing had a map with her. After finding the place according to the road map, she immediately took a taxi.
At the hospital.
After Yu Bing entered the hospital lobby, she went to the consultation desk first. “Hello, can you help me find out where Xiao Sheng is being treated?”
The nurse at the consultation desk hurriedly asked, “Don’t be anxious. What is the patient receiving treatment for?”
Yu Bing was stumped by the question. “I don’t know either. I only heard that he was injured.”
The nurse quickly made a judgment. “Injured patients usually go to the emergency room first. Just go to the end of this path.”
After Yu Bing thanked her, she walked towards the emergency room quickly. “Hello, has the emergency room treated a patient called Xiao Sheng?”
The nurse at the emergency nurse station looked through the records and replied, “Yes, he had a knife wound. After the surgery, he was transferred to Room 306 on the third floor.” After reading the records, the nurse looked up and was about to remind Yu Bing when she realized that the young lady from before was nowhere to be seen.
After Yu Bing found the ward, she pushed open the door to enter. The ward was a two-person ward. Xiao Sheng was lying on the bed with an IV drip in his hospital gown, while Zeng Li was lying on another empty bed with a swollen face. He had taken off his shoes and was eating an apple with his legs crossed as he chattered nonstop.
When Zeng Li saw Yu Bing enter, he raised his hand and greeted, “Yu Bing, you’re here.”
Zeng Li no longer had any designs on Yu Bing, so there was no need to maintain his image. Xiao Sheng had saved him twice. The first time was during the delivery, and the second time, Xiao Sheng was purely dragged into his mess. No matter what, a friend in need was a friend indeed, so Zeng Li already treated Xiao Sheng as his buddy.
As the saying went, a friend’s wife was off-limits. Although the two of them had yet to address the elephant in the room, he couldn’t make a move on his buddy’s woman.
Although Yu Bing saw that Xiao Sheng’s face was still a little pale, the fact that he was staying in an ordinary ward meant that he was fine, so she felt relieved, but then she frowned at the two of them and asked, “What were the two of you doing? Who were you two fighting with?”
When Zeng Li heard this, he immediately explained righteously, “It had nothing to do with Xiao Sheng. He was implicated by me this time, but it wasn’t my fault. Someone else was looking for trouble with me!”
Zeng Li roughly explained the situation. When Yu Bing heard that Xiao Sheng was just helping, she didn’t say anything else and only asked with concern, “Then how many days will you be hospitalized for?”
Xiao Sheng replied helplessly, “I have to be hospitalized for a week.”
