Chapter 319 Meng Zhujun is ill and Chen Shuning raises money for surgery
Liu Zhongyu squatted on the ground, Xiang Yuanfang and Jiang Heping supported Meng Zhujun and lay on Liu Zhongyu's back.
"Shuning, let's go!"
Chen Shuning put on his backpack, paused, and said softly, "You guys go ahead. I'll grab some things and catch up with you right away."
He nodded to the distance and replied, "Well, hurry up."
The footsteps gradually faded away. Chen Shuning took out the key, opened the wardrobe, took out a cloth bag from it, and hurriedly chased after him.
"Whoosh-"
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, chilling people to the bone. Chen Shuning walked in front of Liu Zhongyu, shielding her from the wind.
The dorm manager came out, holding a bunch of keys, and shouted, "Comrades, put Meng Zhujun on the bicycle and push her. It will be faster this way."
He turned and ran over to take the key, his tone full of gratitude: "Auntie, thank you! We will return the car as soon as possible."
"No rush, just send him to the hospital first. I just spoke to the instructor on the phone, she's waiting for you at the hospital entrance."
Pushing the bicycle, everyone started to feel troubled again. Meng Zhujun couldn't sit still at all, and there was no way to take her to the hospital.
Chen Shuning took the initiative to suggest: "I'll push the bike, and the three of you support Meng Zhujun. After all, it's faster to have a bike than to carry her on your back."
"Okay." Xiang Yuanfang echoed, "Meng Zhujun is in great pain, let's leave quickly."
Footsteps echoed down the quiet path. Jiang Heping ran a few steps, tapping on the glass window of the duty room.
"Master, please open the door."
Chen Fadada was awakened by the slapping sound. He quickly got up and asked loudly, "What's going on?"
"My roommate has a stomachache and needs to go to the hospital."
Chen Fadada put on his shoes and hurried out of the duty room. He took a closer look and smiled: "Chen Shuning, is your roommate sick?"
Chen Shuning looked at Chen Fadada blankly. She didn’t know the security guard!
Meng Junzhu leaned against Xiang Yuanfang in a sickly manner, with beads of sweat appearing on both sides of her nose. The pain gripped her throat, and she couldn't even utter a wail.
"Oh, if you go to the hospital like this, you'll definitely delay the patient." Chen Fadada's eyes lit up, and he smiled and pointed to a tricycle not far away: "Comrade Chen Shuning, use my tricycle to take her to the hospital."
"Thank you, uncle!" Chen Shuning said gratefully, "Don't worry, I will definitely return the tricycle intact."
Chen Shuning parked his bicycle and ran quickly towards the tricycle. He quickly cleared the compartment and ran over, pushing the tricycle.
"Hurry up and put her on the tricycle." Chen Shuning urged, "I left a layer of cardboard so the inside of the tricycle won't get dirty."
"Zhongyu, you are the thinnest among us. You hold Meng Zhujun in your arms while I ride a tricycle. In the distance, you ride a bicycle with Heping."
He pedaled his bicycle into the distance and turned back to shout, "Shuning, follow me. I know the way to the hospital."
In the darkness of the night, several slender figures gradually disappeared into the distance. Chen Fadada closed the door, his eyes full of admiration, and murmured, "This child is still a warm-hearted person."
"Huff, huff..." Chen Shuning panted, looked at the hospital nearby, and pushed down hard with his feet.
"Shuning, Meng Zhujun vomited." Liu Zhongyu patted Meng Zhujun's back and said anxiously, "What should we do?"
Chen Shuning stood up and pedaled hard, saying in a reassuring voice, "Don't worry, we'll be at the hospital soon!"
He jumped off the bicycle and ran towards the emergency room, shouting, "Help! Help..."
Jiang Heping locked his bicycle and turned to pick up Chen Shuning.
Meng Zhujun lay weakly on Chen Shuning's back, vomit smeared everywhere. But no one paid attention. Chen Shuning ran faster and faster until the doctor came over with a stretcher, and then she stopped.
"Doctor, she keeps complaining of stomach pain, fever, sweating, and vomiting. Can you please take a look at what's going on?"
"When did the disease start?"
"We don't know about this. When we found her, she had fainted from the pain."
The doctor's face was solemn as he said, "I'll write the bill now, you guys go and pay it quickly."
The hospital was brightly lit, and the pale walls exuded a hint of coldness. Chen Shuning sat opposite the doctor, listening to him attentively.
"Acute appendicitis requires immediate surgery. Where are her family members? The formalities must be signed by her family members."
With tears in her eyes, Xiang Yuanfang anxiously said, "What should we do? We don't know how to contact her family."
"Even if they knew the contact information, they wouldn't be able to get here in this situation." Liu Zhongyu's tone was filled with sadness: "How about I go and see if the instructor is here?"
"This is an emergency. The sooner the surgery is performed, the better. Besides requiring the family's signature, you also need to pay the surgery fee." The doctor paused and reminded, "The surgery fee is not a small amount."
Jiang Heping was rummaging through her pockets, clutching a dollar in her hand, looking frustrated. She asked, "How much money did you bring?"
Liu Zhongyu shook his head gently and whispered, "Heping, I don't have any money."
Xiang Yuanfang gently patted Liu Zhongyu's shoulder and whispered comfortingly: "Zhongyu, we know your situation. Don't blame yourself. We will find a way to raise money."
The doctor quickly filled out the form, urging as he wrote: "Hurry up and find a solution."
Chen Shuning made a prompt decision and said, "Doctor, I'm a friend of the patient. I'll sign. Please write the prescription quickly."
The doctor stopped writing, tore off the receipt and handed it to Chen Shuning: "Pay at the cashier's office on the first floor."
Xiang Yuanfang chased Chen Shuning to the toll booth, frowning slightly, his face full of worry: "Shuning, I can only take out ten yuan, but it's definitely not enough. I'll ride my bike back to borrow someone, you wait for me at the hospital."
"Yuanfang, I have some money, and with your money it should be enough!"
Chen Shuning knocked on the window and rummaged through his bag. He pulled out a yellowed cloth bag filled with change, which he counted.
"Shuning, is this all the money you have?" Xiang Yuanfang's expression was moved, and he asked in a low voice: "Meng Zhujun targeted you so much, and you are still willing to help her like this. Will she appreciate it?"
"I can't care about that." Chen Shuning handed over the documents and said softly, "The doctor said that the surgery must be done as soon as possible. If we go back and raise money, we're afraid it will delay the treatment."
"Comrade, we are still short of thirteen dollars and eighty cents."
Chen Shuning stretched out his hand and said anxiously, "Yuanfang, give me ten dollars first."
He took out the money from Yuanfang and handed it over, sighed, took out two dollars from another pocket and stuffed it into Chen Shuning's hand.
"I know Meng Zhujun doesn't need money, I'm just afraid that she'll deliberately make things difficult for you and delay paying you back."
Chen Shuning searched inside and out for a long time, collected one dollar and eighty cents, and handed it through the window.
"Don't be afraid. If she dares to not pay back the money, I will ask her grandfather for it." Chen Shuning said firmly, "Her grandfather is a very good person. He won't let me starve."
Xiang Yuanfang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Shuning, do you still know her grandfather?"
"Yeah, we just met a few days ago." After collecting enough money, Chen Shuning felt relieved and his tone became much lighter: "Meng Zhujun was just spoiled by her family. To say she is vicious, that's not the case."
"Shuning, go get the medicine. I'll see if the instructor is here."
"Please check if the car locks are secure. They are all borrowed. Don't lose them."
