Bound to the involution system, I built a factory in the era of Gaga

The panicked villagers subconsciously followed Liang Tian's command. Some went to borrow ox carts, some went to carry Old Lady Gui, and some ran to ask for leave from the village chief.

It’s not even the end of October yet, and the busy farming season isn’t over yet.

The sincerity of the people can be seen at a glance from this point.

In an era when people were worried about food and clothing, if you worked less, you would get fewer work points. Fewer work points meant less food.

Being willing to give less food to help is the simplest sincerity.

The ox cart was small, and they were afraid of tiring the ox, so only Mrs. Gui was placed on it. The other villagers followed behind the ox cart in a mighty procession.

Those who went with them were all strong young men. The old man and the lady were also anxious, but they knew they could not keep up and would be in the way, so they simply waited in the village.

"Sweet girl, don't worry about the money. We'll collect it from each village. You talk to the doctor in the county and we'll send it to you once we have enough!" someone shouted.

Liang Tian didn't care about being shy, and was afraid that the villagers couldn't hear her, so she shouted at the top of her voice: "I know!"

Li Xianghe and Wang Pozi were waiting at home for the news that Liang Tian was coming back, and they couldn't help but get anxious.

In the end, instead of waiting for her daughter/granddaughter to come back, she waited for someone to borrow money: "What? Old Lady Gui fainted?" Worried, Old Lady Wang rummaged through boxes and cabinets while sighing: "Oh, Old Lady Gui was so glorious back then, with a son who was a soldier. Her son was really good, good-looking and capable...but too honest."

While sighing, he handed the money to the village chief who was helping to raise money: "Oh, by the way, my sweet girl, village chief, please ask me if anyone has seen her! It's almost time for dinner, why hasn't this girl come back yet..."

Village Chief Hu then slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, I felt like I forgot something... Auntie, your granddaughter went to the county hospital. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't know what to do! She was probably in a hurry before she left, and forgot to find someone to tell you."

Mrs. Wang was not surprised at all. Instead, she felt that it was as it should be.

"Okay, I feel relieved now that I know where she is. Village chief, thank you for your hard work."

When the village chief went to the next household to borrow money, Li Xianghe grumbled in dissatisfaction: "This girl is really something, she joins in all the fun!"

Mrs. Wang glared at her and said, "What's wrong? I'm just like you guys, right? If one day I lie on the ground and no one cares about me, will you be happy?"

Li Xianghe hurriedly shook her head: "Mom, how can this be possible! You are so famous in the village, no one dares not to help!" With her mother-in-law's temper, she probably really doesn't dare to help! She is afraid of being blackmailed!

Of course, I didn’t dare say this out loud for fear of being scolded.

As for why the village chief raised money instead of paying it himself, there are two main reasons. First, he was afraid that it would cost too much money, and if he paid it alone, he would empty his family. Given the situation of Mrs. Gui, she might not be able to pay it back. Second, he wanted to let the villagers know about this situation. We are all from the same village and we need to work together.

These days, the most important thing is that everyone should have a sense of collective honor. Even if you are pretending, you have to pretend to be serious.

This is why almost every household contributes money.

Each family borrows a little, not too much. Although it is a bit troublesome to pay it back, if they can't pay it back, each family doesn't borrow too much, so they won't be unable to survive due to the lack of money. In addition, it's not just one family that can't pay back, but all families can't pay back, so everyone can balance it out.

Hu Youman felt that he was very smart for being able to think of this.

At this time, in the county hospital, the doctor was giving Mrs. Gui an IV drip.

"It's nothing serious. She just fainted due to excitement. She is also a little malnourished. I guess the old lady hasn't eaten enough. She needs to eat more nutritious food when she gets home."

"Also, the old lady is overthinking. She's not seriously ill right now, but if things keep going like this, something serious might happen."

Liang Tian listened to the doctor's instructions very carefully and silently helped Old Lady Gui write them down, intending to tell her after the person woke up.

The ward needs to provide a quiet environment for patients, so everyone else is outside the door.

"Okay, go pay the medical bills first, and then go downstairs and wait for your number to be called to get the medicine." The doctor gave Liang Tian a list with the necessary medicines, medical expenses, and consultation fees listed on it.

Actually it’s not much, all the miscellaneous items added up are less than 10 yuan.

But ten yuan is already one-third of the salary of the factory workers.

For the common people who work in the countryside to earn food, that is a considerable expense.

Liang Tian silently took the list and left the ward: "You guys stay here and watch over me. I'll go get the medicine."

"Hey!" Someone wanted to ask how much it cost, but opened his mouth and didn't ask.

If I ask, doesn't it mean I have to pay first?

Being kind is one thing, but going beyond the scope of kindness and overdrawing yourself to help others is stupidity.

"That girl is well-educated and smart. She will definitely know what to do. We just need to stay here and watch over Old Lady Gui." Someone said to comfort her.

As for Liang Tian, ​​she paid for it out of her own pocket.

No matter where you are, there is no such thing as compassion in hospitals.

Man, that must be compassionate.

But before rules and regulations, everything is nothing.

Breaking the hospital's rules and regulations because you feel sorry for someone? That's not allowed.

Not to mention the disastrous consequences, just the procedures alone are enough to give people a headache. It may be easy to convince one person, but can you convince people from all levels of the hospital, in different positions and with different personalities?

Therefore, things like talking to the doctor and reconciling the situation or paying the medical bills later are absolutely impossible.

After buying the medicine, the village chief came with the money he had raised.

Liang Tian could only say that she had borrowed the money from someone first. The village chief could understand because he thought that Lin Xiaojia and this girl were getting along well. He did not ask too many questions, but just handed the money to Liang Tian: "Do you think it is enough? If not, I still have some."

Liang Tian counted out the medical expenses she had just paid, and returned the rest to the village chief: "Uncle village chief, the rest is not needed. The doctor said that she can be discharged from the hospital when Grandma Gui wakes up."

Probably because they knew that the villagers were poor, the hospital did not admit her, but only let Mrs. Gui stay for free for half a day.

Doctors have good intentions, but they must be sensible. Taking up public resources is a taboo, and we must not hold doctors back.

About half an hour later, Mrs. Gui woke up.

Maybe he was sober and calm now, and didn't threaten to kill himself, but he was still in a bad mood.

"Thank you all for your concern and for sending me to the hospital... I have done nothing to deserve this. Even my grandson couldn't come to the hospital..." The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. Seeing that Old Lady Gui was thinking about the sad things again, the villagers hurriedly changed the subject.

"Old lady Gui, they say that those who survive a great disaster will have good fortune in the future. Your good fortune is yet to come!"

"Yes, yes, yes, don't let your imagination run wild!"

There is no true empathy in this world. No matter how considerate you are, you can never truly see things from the perspective of someone who is experiencing pain.

Unless you experience it yourself.
