"He's been seriously injured. The doctor said he needs to rest for the next few months, which means he won't be able to go to work for several months. These three hundred yuan are not even enough to pay him several months' salary!"

"Boss Xu, I know you're a good person and you're not short of money, but you can't be like this, right? Aren't you humiliating us by giving us these three hundred yuan?"

Being given the nice guy card, Xu Wanning couldn't be happy at all.

She took a deep breath and comforted herself in her heart, saying that it was like playing the lute to a cow and not trying to reason with unreasonable people.

"Aunt, this compensation is the amount determined by the police. Since the police asked me to give you 300 yuan in compensation, they must have taken all factors into consideration."

"If you are not satisfied, you can go to the police to file a complaint. If the police tell me to pay more compensation, I will definitely cooperate."

Instead, I will give you whatever you ask for.

Although Xu Wanning did plan to give five hundred to one thousand at the beginning, she couldn't go against the police, right?

Yesterday in the office, the Zhao family had already proved to her what it meant to be greedy and want more than one thing. Xu Wan would never be so foolish as to play the role of the scapegoat.

After hearing that Xu Wanning had moved out of the police station, even though Zhao's mother was unhappy, she could only sit down awkwardly.

After all, people nowadays have a natural fear of the police.

Mother Zhao could only stare at Comrade Qian and signal her to speak.

Comrade Qian hesitated for a long time before he mustered up the courage to say to Xu Wanning, "Boss Xu, there is something I want to discuss with you."

"You said."

"Didn't you say you would cover our medical expenses? How about this? You give me the money, and every time the doctor notifies you to pay, I'll pay it myself, so you don't have to run back and forth."

"Anyway, I've taken some time off and will be staying in the hospital to take care of Jianshe. You're so busy, it would be troublesome for you to go back and forth."

Xu Wanning refused calmly: "No trouble, I will prepay the medical expenses in advance. No matter what kind of examination or medicine the medical staff needs to do for Comrade Zhao Jianshe, it can be deducted from the prepaid medical expenses, so that we don't have to pay often."

Comrade Qian had never expected that there would be such a thing as prepayment of medical expenses. Her plan failed again. She didn't dare to look at her mother-in-law and could only lower her head and remain silent.

Xu Wanning raised her head and looked around the ward. "This single room..."

"Our injury is to his brain. Even if he is out of danger, we don't know if there will be any sequelae. So it is very important for him to rest and stay in a single room for his health."

Xu Wanning smiled and said, "Auntie, what you said makes sense. Then stay here until Comrade Zhao Jianshe is discharged from the hospital. If there is nothing else, I will leave first and come to visit Comrade Zhao Jianshe later."

As soon as Xu Wanning left, Zhao's mother started cursing in the ward.

"I thought he was generous, but I didn't expect he was so cunning! Isn't it said that businessmen are cunning?"

They didn't get enough compensation, and they were not even willing to pay for the hospitalization expenses. It would be strange if Zhao's mother could feel at ease!

The reason why she strongly requested to stay in a single room from the beginning was not just for Zhao Jianshe's consideration.

The cost of staying in an ordinary ward for a day is about 50 cents, while a single room costs at least five dollars, which is a tenfold difference for a day!

Mother Zhao thought that as long as Xu Wanning agreed, she would find a way to put the extra four dollars and fifty cents into her own pocket.

I didn’t expect Xu Wanning to disagree?

"Mom, Jianshe is still lying in bed, can you please not be so calculating?"

"I calculated? If I didn't calculate and make more money, how could our family have such a good life today? Also, give me these three hundred yuan, quickly!"

Xu Wanning directly put the condolence money in an envelope and gave it to Comrade Qian. This was the money that Zhao's mother wanted now.

Comrade Qian was unwilling to give the money, "You also said that Jianshe's injury was to his brain, and the situation is very serious. Even if he is discharged from the hospital later, he must eat nutritious food and recuperate well. I can't give you this money."

"You won't give it to me? Why don't you give it to me?" Zhao's mother yelled, "You know your third brother is thinking about seeing her now. Our family is short of money right now. Three hundred yuan can buy two turns and one ring!"

"My third brother wants to get married, that's his own business. At worst, you and dad will worry about it. What does it have to do with me and Jianshe? I'm still worried about how Jianshe will get a job next, and what will happen to Weiguo's job!"

Comrade Qian was tough for once, and Zhao's mother didn't expect that she would actually not give her the money. She was so angry that she wanted to rush over to snatch it, but was held down by Zhao's father.

"Noisy, noisy, have you had enough of that?"

"This money is Jianshe's compensation. No one else can use it except Jianshe's family! And you, do you think that others can't see through your little tricks and little thoughts? If you hadn't instigated Xiao Qian to talk nonsense to Boss Xu yesterday, would they have only given this little compensation?"

"Also, the third son is going to marry his third wife. Every time he got married, the whole family helped him. But what happened? He had a good life but had to go out and mess around, which led to a divorce. I don't want to recognize such a son, let alone want him!"

"I know you've always favored the third brother. If you want to help him, just do it yourself. Don't think of dragging the eldest and second brothers and their families to clean up his mess! And I've already put away all the family savings. I won't let him use them this time no matter what!"

Mother Zhao is used to being the only one in charge at home. It is because Father Zhao has been willing to tolerate and forgive her for so many years that she has developed the habit of having her way with the family.

But now, Zhao's father seemed to be tired of such a life and was unwilling to obey her no matter what. Zhao's mother felt like the sky was falling.

She began to break down and screamed in the ward.

Comrade Qian was particularly thankful that they were staying in a single room, otherwise, with Zhao's mother in such a state, she would definitely be laughed at by outsiders.

Xu Wanning was unaware of all this. She went straight to the nurses' station and found Nurse Xiao Yang.

"Comrade Xu, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Comrade Zhao Jianshe was beaten and hospitalized because he was helping others in my bathhouse, so I will bear all his medical expenses."

"When my brother came yesterday, he had already prepaid part of the hospital fees, but I was afraid that the money would not be enough, so I wanted to put in a little more."

"Ah? Comrade Xu, you are the one who pays for Zhao Jianshe's medical expenses, not them?"
