Nan Zhi saved up ten thousand yuan, planning to buy a cat. While chatting with the seller on her phone, she overheard someone next door whispering about the young man in bed 1023.
It was said that his parents had passed away early, and he was raised by his uncle and aunt. He had just graduated and was at an age where he should have been earning money, but he lost both legs while saving someone. His uncle and aunt thought he was useless and sneaked away from the hospital, refusing to continue paying for his treatment or taking care of him.
The police had come to mediate several times, and they had knocked on the doors of all his relatives and friends. The village committee and others had also visited, managing to raise some donations. Combined with medical insurance reimbursements, there was still a little over ten thousand yuan left to pay.
Nan Zhi went over to take a look and realized it was the young man with thin veins, the one she had failed to draw blood from several times, leaving many needle marks on his arm. During a nursing department inspection, she had begged the inspector not to report it, and the inspector had covered for him.
Ten thousand yuan wasn’t quite enough to buy a cat—she would have to stretch her living expenses a bit more. But it was more than enough to save someone who was about to be kicked out of the hospital and left to fend for himself.
Nan Zhi used the ten thousand yuan to cover his medical expenses and smoothly took the unwanted young man home. She encountered no resistance; in fact, his relatives, including his uncle and aunt, were very grateful that she took him away and promised never to disturb them.
With ten thousand yuan, it seemed as if this person had severed all ties with his past and now belonged entirely to her.
