She said: "Although your daughter-in-law doesn't need consultation fees and medicine fees for medical treatment here, food costs money, and your three children are all here, and the cost of food and accommodation is quite a lot, because they have no money. It is temporarily credited to our medical office. In the past, they were orphans and widows. We couldn’t open our mouths. We just asked them to do some work to deduct the deduction. Now that you are here, let’s settle the rest of the money.”
Hu Dazhu's eyes widened. This was different from what he had heard. People in the village who came to see a doctor at the medical office said that the three brothers and sister Dalang had earned a lot of money by helping in the medical office
Hu Dalang realized in an instant, compared Father with Master Zhou, of course Master Zhou was more trustworthy, so he nodded without thinking, "Yes, we owe money to the medical office, Father, the rice harvested this year, sell some of it Let’s pay off the medical debt.”
When Hu Dazhu heard this, he couldn't help jumping his feet, "How can we sell food? What will we eat at home?"
"Then you can't owe the money to the medical office," Hu Dalang begged him: "Father, mother can walk on the ground now, Mr. Zhou said that it will be fine after a period of treatment, mother does not need money to see a doctor and take medicine. The medical department has given them all, and all I need is food.”
Hu Dazhu looked unhappy.
The onlookers were not happy, they were all here to see the doctor, or nearby merchants and people, seeing that Hu Dazhu refused to even pay for the food, they couldn’t help but say: “The medical department is doing what it takes to be benevolent. When you go to the department, let alone the drug fee, it is hard to find a pharmacy that will waive the consultation fee for your family."
"That is, if you get the kindness of others, you must know how to be grateful. Otherwise, the heart of the medical department will be chilled, and the medical department will not open in the future. Isn't that harming all of us?"
"At the beginning, I heard him cry so badly, and he was so embarrassed. I thought it was shameful for his wife and children not to come home for four or five months, but looking at it now, it was clearly him who didn't want to save his mother-in-law. right?"
"I don't like this kind of man. It's not that he can't be cured. Why don't he treat him? In the past, it didn't matter if he needed medicine and consultation fees. The poor family couldn't help it. We can't let people go bankrupt to treat them. But now the medical office waived the drug fee and the consultation fee, so what’s the use of marrying such a man?”
A woman with a bad temper directly said to Hu Dalang: "Just let your mother reconcile, it's better to live alone than to look at this sloppy old face."
Hu Dalang didn't speak.
Hu Dazhu's face turned red and he clenched his fists tightly, but he couldn't refute what everyone said.
Only then did Bai Shan stop everyone's words and let everyone disperse, "The plan of the day is in the morning, so you have time to watch the fun? Hurry up and go to work."
Only then did the crowd leave reluctantly, but although some people turned around and walked away, they stopped after walking a dozen steps, still looking at this side from a distance. It is more convenient for the shop to be near the medical office, so they squatted directly at the door of their own shop look this way.
Obviously, the lively attraction is still great.
When most of the people had dispersed, Bai Shan said to Hu Dazhu: "It's nothing if you don't have money, but your wife and children live here, why don't you bring some food for them from home, and cooking it yourself is worse than eating outside. cheaper."
He slowed down his tone and said: "In this life, other than career prospects, people are parents, wives and children. Your parents are gone, and you are not young, so there are only wives and children left in the family. As a husband, even if you can't shelter For them, to shelter them from the rain and wind, at least you should be considerate, and it would be good to be able to help them a little."
Hu Dazhu lowered his head and did not speak, no one knew whether he listened or not.
Bai Shan waved to County Captain Dong, and then County Captain Dong let him go and stepped aside.
Bai Shan said to him: "But this is the county town, you are not allowed to make noise, even outside the city, in your house, you are not allowed to do anything to your wife and children. Since summer, the county has made every lili preach the law and human relations, Although a father has the responsibility and right to teach his son, he cannot do it arbitrarily. If it is serious, it will violate the law, and if it is minor, it will also hurt the friendship between father and son. Why bother?"
Bai Shan persuaded Hu Dazhu to leave.
Zhou Man stood beside him in amazement, and when Hu Dalang walked away from the hospital, she couldn't help asking him, "When did you become so gentle?"
Bai Shan smiled slightly and said, "I've always been so gentle."
Zhou Man turned around and left, striding into the medical office with Xibing in hand, and said to her, "Open the doors, let the patients come in and wait."
The cakes should be served,
Bai Shan watched her go into the medical office, and spread his hands to Yin who looked over, and said, "I'm serious."
Yin Or thought for a while and said, "I think she is also serious."
Bai Shan couldn't help laughing, "Administration can't be blindly forced. Although persuading people to be kind is annoying, it can save many people's troubles."
Hu Dazhu is not considered guilty of crimes. Even if he locks people up, he will release them in two or three days. In the end, there may not be much deterrence. That's the worst thing to do.
It was his wife and children who suffered in the end.
Yin expressed doubts, "A person like that can be turned around with just a few words from you?"
Bai Shan: "It's hard."
"But it's just a few words, and it doesn't take much effort." Bai Shan smiled, beckoned to old man Fei, and told him, "If he comes back in the future, he is also not allowed to make trouble in the medical office, um, for the time being, he is not allowed." Go to the medical office, and call Hu Dalang out to meet him again.”
He also instructed Lieutenant Dong, "Let people pay more attention to the medical department."
"Yes, I will ask the brothers to walk this way more when patrolling. My lord, do you want to let people watch that person more?" Dong Xianwei is more experienced than Bai Shan in this area, and he said: "Look at him Such a person, his wife and children go out to seek medical treatment for four or five months, so he can ignore it. In April and May, the winter wheat was planted last month, and now it’s Maodong, and he didn’t come here until now... "
Such a person expects him to listen to Bai Shan's words
Bai Shan thought for a while and then nodded, "Let the helpers pay more attention. If there is trouble, we will follow the law. We will arrest you when you should, and you will be punished when you should."
Dong Xianwei responded immediately.
Hu Dalang also felt that his father was not a good man, obviously he couldn't be persuaded by some words, so he went directly to the backyard and led his younger siblings aside to talk, "Don't go out recently, if you need to go out for errands, you can find me, if I'm not here , just ask Sister Kou and the others for help, you know?"
The two children nodded in response, and Hu Xiaomei felt that she was already half an adult, so she bit her lips and asked, "Brother, will Daddy snatch us back to the village?"
Hu Dalang asked, "Do you want to go back?"
The two shook their heads immediately, with some fear in their eyes.
They don't want to go home at all. Although they have to do a lot of work in the medical office, they don't feel tired at all. They can eat enough here, and no one will scold them and beat them...
Hu Dalang patted their heads and said, "If we don't want to go back, we won't go back. Brother has grown up and can support you."
