The owners of three abandoned recycling stations put down the fruit baskets and nutritional products, stuffed Li Manjun with a thick red envelope, and said: "Harmony brings wealth."
Li Manjun looked at his dislocated left hand, which was wrapped with anti-swelling medicine, and then moved his body. As soon as he moved, his whole back was in burning pain.
Several people hurriedly shouted to her to lie down and stop moving. The leader showed some guilt in his eyes and said:
"Boss Li, we really didn't expect you to be such a young girl. Now it seems that you young people are still courageous. We three brothers really admire you."
Li Manjun lowered his eyes and sneered, then sat up and opened the red envelopes that the three people had given him with one hand and looked at them. They were all blue bills, twenty in total, worth two thousand yuan.
"Oh, this is the medical fee. It will be paid according to the bill. The rest is just a little care from the three of us." They hurriedly explained.
Li Manjun put the red envelope on her pillow, and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief when they saw her accepting it.
The other two were about to leave, but the leader did not move and tried to mention the scrap recycling price to Li Manjun.
Li Manjun felt that they were really thick-skinned. Even with such a relationship, they actually wanted her to join them and lower the price.
"Based on my injuries, I can actually call the police. Intentional injury causing serious injury to others will result in a prison sentence of not less than three years but not more than ten years." Li Manjun smiled and informed the three of them in the calmest tone.
The expressions of the three people suddenly changed, and one of them immediately became angry and said, "What evidence do you have? Besides, your hands are clean? We all know everything about what you and your husband did, and it was more serious than what you did!"
Li Manjun asked him: "Do you have any evidence to prove it?"
Every place has its own rules. Since Zhao Yong has said that the matter will be settled, she believes that he has already dealt with the problem of the gangsters.
The expressions of the three of them changed again. In the end, the leader stood up to make peace and told Li Manjun not to be angry and to recover from his injuries. They left first.
Li Manjun raised his right hand in a greeting gesture and said with a polite smile: "Thank you three big brothers for coming to visit me. When I am discharged from the hospital, I will come to thank you in person."
The corners of the mouths of the three people twitched, looking like you must not come here in fear.
Li Manjun watched the three people leave with a smile, turned to look at the fruit basket and nutritional supplements on the cabinet, opened a box with one hand, and distributed the nutritional supplements to the patients and family members in the two beds next to each other.
Zhao Yong is busy with things in the company during the day, and sometimes he cannot take care of her in the hospital. It is all the help of these patients' families.
The wife of the patient in the next bed took the nutritional supplements. Seeing the unkind looks of the three people just now, she asked with concern:
"Xiao Li, is everything okay?"
Li Manjun smiled and shook his head, "It's okay."
"That's good. If you need anything, just let us know and we'll be here at any time."
Li Manjun nodded and said thank you, then lay down and continued reading and eating apples.
I couldn't read the book for a long time, and all I could think about was what Zhao Yong had done. I must ask him clearly when he comes to deliver food in the afternoon.
Unexpectedly, Li Lijun came first.
When Li Manjun saw her walking in from the ward with her schoolbag on her back, she suddenly remembered that school was on holiday this weekend.
[To tell you the truth, I have been using the Changing Source app recently to read and catch up on updates. Changing sources allows me to read aloud with more sounds.
After entering high school, Li Lijun would go to her sister's house every Saturday morning to say goodbye before returning to Heather Town.
Sometimes Li Manjun bought supplements and snacks and asked her to take them home to her parents.
Sometimes, there is nothing wrong, just to help with a message, etc. The main reason is that I am worried about my sister, a little girl who lives in school by herself, so I feel more at ease when I see her once a week.
Li Lijun doesn't want to go home this week, so she can save money on the bus fare. Besides, she only has to stay for one night, so she might as well stay in the dormitory and read more books.
In the morning, Li Lijun first called her brother-in-law's home. She wanted to tell her sister that she wouldn't be home this week, but no one answered.
She called the recycling station again, but still no one answered. In the afternoon, she felt something was wrong, so she carried her schoolbag to her brother-in-law's house, hoping to have a meal in the evening before going back to school.
Unexpectedly, my brother-in-law said that my sister fell and was hospitalized, and she was in the hospital with a sling.
Li Lijun thought it was nothing serious at first, because her brother-in-law's expression was so calm, and she curiously asked: "How did you fall? How can you be so embarrassed after a fall?"
Zhao Yong was afraid that telling the truth would affect his sister-in-law's studies, so he lied to her and said, "The manhole cover flipped over while riding a bicycle. From now on, you must watch the road carefully when walking in the dark. There are too many bad guys stealing manhole covers now."
No, after taking the dinner prepared by her brother-in-law, Li Lijun came to deliver the meal to her sister.
"Why are you here?" Li Manjun asked in surprise.
Li Lijun was even more surprised than she was when she saw her hands and feet were wrapped with medicine and there was still medicine hanging on her arm.
"Sister, you can fall like this no matter how hard you fall!" Li Lijun quickly put down her schoolbag and came to her sister's bedside. She was so distressed that she reached out to touch her, but she couldn't do it.
Li Manjun said she was fine and pointed to the stool next to her to sit on, "Where is your brother-in-law?"
Li Lijun then remembered to tell her sister, "Brother-in-law was going to come with me to deliver food to you, but the phone rang as soon as he left. It seemed that there was an emergency at the company, and he was worried that you would be hungry, so he asked me to deliver food to you first."
Come, he will be here later."
"Sister, why didn't you tell me that you were hospitalized? My brother-in-law is busy, who will take care of you? Do your parents know about it? Have you told your family?"
Li Manjun shook his head and told her seriously: "Don't tell your family."
"Why?" Li Lijun was puzzled, and followed her sister's instructions to clean up the things on the table and put the food prepared by her brother-in-law on the small table. "Can you do it with one hand? I'll feed you."
Li Manjun refused. Her right hand was fine and she could take the kuaizi by herself. "Just hold the soup bowl for me and be careful not to spill it."
"I don't want my parents to worry. They can't do anything even if they come here. Dad has to go to work, and mom also has to look after the store. I'm fine here, and I should be able to be discharged from the hospital in two days."
Li Lijun sighed helplessly, "Okay, then I will take care of you in the hospital during these two days of vacation. If you need anything, just call me."
Li Manjun smiled and nodded, and took two sips of the soup, which was stewed with pork ribs and corn. It was very sweet, and he drank a few more sips before starting to eat.
"Have you eaten?" Li Manjun asked suspiciously when he noticed that Li Lijun was staring at him.
Li Lijun nodded, "My brother-in-law and I ate at home first. I saw that you ate very well. It seems that you have a good appetite, so your health should be fine, right?"
Li Manjun looked at her sister's cute face and was in a very good mood. While eating, she asked her if she was adapting to the new school.
Li Lijun said everything was good, the teacher was good, the classroom was good, the classmates and roommates were all good.
At 7:30 in the evening, Yao Zhaowen came over and reported the store's revenue in the past two days. The wallet, BB machine and bicycle had been returned.
"You have worked hard these past few days. If you can't handle the accumulated waste by yourself, please ask two workers to help." Li Manjun ordered.
Yao Zhaowen said he knew. Seeing that Li Manjun was with him, he sat for a while and then went back.
