Chapter 3523: Chapter 3515: Hidden Truths
"Mainly because there’s nothing else to do, so I thought I’d come out and do some work."
Zhao Xiangyang chuckled, "My legs aren’t in great shape, so I can’t go back yet. Delivering packages here isn’t a problem."
"But in your situation, you need to rest properly. If something unexpected happens, it won’t be easy to recover."
"It’s fine, I’m being careful. The boss treats me well and doesn’t make me do anything too tiring."
Lin Yi said nothing more; everyone has their own way of living.
It wasn’t his place to say anything else.
Just then, a middle-aged man wearing shorts and slippers walked out of the delivery station.
"Stop chatting, there’s so much work to do. Hurry up, or I’ll find someone else if you dawdle."
"Alright, alright, I’ll be done soon."
Lin Yi glanced at the middle-aged man, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, dressed sloppily, seemingly the boss of the delivery station.
"Is this who you said treats you well?"
"Working for someone is just like this, and I have a leg in a cast, so I’m naturally slower. Getting pushed a bit is normal."
"During your recovery, your salary was paid in full, and Liu Jingfeng even got you a 5000 yuan bonus. Compared to before, your income is only higher, not lower. Why come here and work?"
Zhao Xiangyang’s gaze was a bit evasive, and he smiled awkwardly.
"It’s nothing, just wanted to earn a bit more. Who wouldn’t want more money?"
"You’re not wealthy, but you haven’t reached this point, have you?"
During previous work, Lin Yi had come to understand Zhao Xiangyang somewhat.
Though he didn’t earn much, he could manage everyday expenses.
Coming here to do odd jobs at the delivery station wasn’t full-time, and he might not even make 100 yuan a day.
Straining yourself for this bit of money isn’t worth it.
"Are you encountering some difficulties?"
"No, nothing’s wrong. Don’t overthink, Lin Bro."
Zhao Xiangyang lowered his head and continued working, not daring to meet Lin Yi’s eyes.
"Just answer when I’m asking, don’t dawdle."
"Really, it’s nothing, stop asking." Zhao Xiangyang kept his head down.
"Fine, say what you want."
Lin Yi turned back to his car, carrying the bought fruits over to Zhao Xiangyang.
"I’m leaving, keep working."
"Lin Bro, what’s this? You shouldn’t have. I only have a fracture, it’s not a big deal."
"These things aren’t expensive, just a little token of my care."
Without saying more, Lin Yi drove away.
When he got home, Lin Yi gave the dinosaur balloon he bought to Little Nuonuo.
Spent 20 yuan and got her laughing joyfully.
Little girls are easy to please.
The next morning, Lin Yi went to work as usual.
The matter of buying a car at the expo naturally reached the ears of Ma Weiguo and others.
"What’s up with you? Heard you bought a Cullinan? You’re gonna be famous."
"Don’t believe the gossip online. I was just helping someone buy it, and showing off a bit."
"I’m starting to wonder about your real purpose for being a security guard."
"From the masses, back to the masses, just aiming to experience life."
"If you say so, there’s something I need your help with." Ma Weiguo said:
"Do you know anyone in health insurance?"
"What’s up, someone in your family hospitalized?" Lin Yi smiled at Ma Weiguo, "Brother Ma looking vibrant, did your wife give you a second child?"
"Get lost."
Ma Weiguo laughed and swore:
"A few days ago, Liu Jingfeng and I went to see Zhao Xiangyang. There’s some trouble in their family."
"What happened?"
"His wife has acute pancreatitis."
"Pancreatitis..."
Lin Yi frowned slightly, "That’s not a good disease."
It’s one of the most severe conditions in gastroenterology, very serious.
During his time at Huashan Hospital, he heard of a patient who stayed in the hospital for half a year, and the costs were terrifyingly high.
If it’s severe, the mortality rate is extremely high.
"You’re aware of his situation, but rural health insurance seems to cover only 30%, and even that’s conditional."
"Does his wife have insurance?"
"Heard she does, but it seems not covered, so they have to pay themselves."
"Nowadays, these insurance policies are all over the place, they’re just scams." Xiao Fengshan complained.
Insurance is more complex than imagined, even if it’s not covered, it’s not simply the insurance company’s fault.
"So I wanted to ask if you know someone in this field. If more can be covered by health insurance, it will ease their burden." Ma Weiguo said.
"It’s worth a try, but I don’t know if it’ll work. Which hospital is his wife in?"
"City Third Hospital."
"That hospital isn’t great, for pancreatitis, Huashan Hospital is better."
"It’s the city’s best hospital, but possibly beyond their means; City Third Hospital was their best option."
"The problem is that City Third Hospital might not treat the disease effectively. Prolonged delays could be lethal."
"It’s not something we can interfere with." Ma Weiguo said helplessly:
"That’s their situation. With such a disease, life or death depends entirely on God’s will."
Lin Yi nodded, given Zhao Xiangyang’s circumstances, there weren’t many options.
"Let’s focus on work, I’ll make some calls later, see if we can lessen their expenses."
"Help if we can, everyone has it tough."
"I understand."
Changing into uniform, Lin Yi and Xiao Fengshan started patrolling the community.
Walking one behind the other, Lin Yi held his phone, contemplating a solution.
Given the current situation, transferring hospitals might not be necessary.
But someone needs to go to City Third Hospital to assess his wife’s situation and provide a professional treatment plan.
But employing someone to work demands compensation, otherwise owing favors becomes tricky.
Then there’s the issue of insurance and health coverage; finding ways to maximize coverage is possible.
Yet given the situation, asking Li Chuhan to handle it isn’t quite fitting.
Thinking this through, Lin Yi called Miao Guofeng.
He’s the director of Huashan Hospital, arranging such matters shouldn’t be a problem.
About half an hour later, Lin Yi had everything organized, advising them to keep a low profile to avoid revealing their identities.
"Old Liu, do you want this couch?"
As they walked through the community, nearby voices could be heard.
A middle-aged man in a tank top was pushing out a worn single sofa, seemingly about to discard it.
In front of him, an old man in black clothes stood.
Despite the summer season, he wore long clothes and pants, rummaging through a nearby trash can.
Beside him were bottles and cartons he had found.
"Give it to me, it looks quite new."
The old man turned around, smiling and agreeing cheerfully.
Crouched slightly, walking slowly, he came beside the middle-aged man.
"It’s not new. If you don’t mind, take it."
"I don’t mind, not at all. It’s such a good item. Thank you."
