166 Kindness Being Trampled Upon, Blackmail!

Hao Yingqiang did not expect the difficult problem of whether to help or not to fall on his head one day. He could not help but think of a case that shocked the entire country when he saw the old lady lying on the ground.

The cause was also a kind-hearted person who helped the old man up. However, he did not expect the old man to be injured. He bit back at the kind-hearted person and asked the innocent kind-hearted person to compensate for the medical expenses.

The kind-hearted person was not used to the old man’s malice and rejected this unreasonable claim. Later on, the old man sued the kind-hearted person to the court. In the end, the judge sentenced the kind-hearted person to compensate the old man for medical expenses, nutrition, and a series of other expenses.

“Why did you help him up if you didn’t knock him over?” The judge’s cla.s.sic sentence shocked the entire society.

From that moment on, everyone’s first reaction when facing the old man who fell was not to extend a helping hand, but to hide far away.

Hao Yingqiang stood rooted to the ground, feeling extremely conflicted. He also had a grandfather of about the same age at home. He really could not turn a blind eye to the helpless old lady. However, he was afraid that he would be extorted by the old lady. No one could judge the other party’s moral standards first when giving help.

Beep—

The siren of the car behind them sounded non-stop.

There was already a long convoy behind him while Hao Yingqiang was in a daze.

The driver stuck his head out and complained, “Can’t you see the green light? Pull over at the side of the road if you are not moving!”

“I’m sorry!” Hao Yingqiang quickly drove through the intersection and onto the opposite street. After driving for a hundred meters, he would be able to deliver the last meal to the customer.

Moreover, he had delivered it 20 minutes in advance. He could legitimately ask the guests for good reviews…

Hao Yingqiang stared ahead, his heart filled with thoughts of the elderly who had fallen. Who would help her if he didn’t? She was already so old and should be sent to the hospital quickly.

When he came back to his senses, his hand had already crushed the brake.

“d.a.m.n it!” Hao Yingqiang suddenly turned the car around and accelerated.

As expected, the old lady was still sitting alone on the zebra crossing. The pedestrians pa.s.sing by ignored her, and the cars slowed down to walk around her, afraid that she would cling onto them.

Hao Yingqiang parked the car at the side and gritted his teeth as he quickly ran over. He helped the old lady up and said, “Are you alright?”

The old lady’s face was filled with affliction. It was so painful that she could not smile even when she saw someone helping her. “My leg hurts. I don’t think I can move…”

“I’ll hold you and see if you can stand up.”

“Oh my G.o.d, it hurts too much. I think my bone is broken.”

When the surrounding pedestrians saw someone doing a good deed, they stopped to watch.

Hao Yingqiang saw that the old lady’s hair was white, her face was filled with wrinkles, and she was so thin that she was like a bag of bones. She was so fragile that it was as if a gust of wind could blow her away. He really could not bear to see her like this.

“Um… Shall I take you to the hospital?” Hao Yingqiang’s heart was beating like a drum. He did not know if his decision was right.

“Alright, alright. Thank you, young man.” The old woman was exceptionally grateful. Her turbid eyes were blurry as she sighed. “There aren’t many kind people these days. Don’t worry, I won’t cause trouble for you.”

“… Let’s go first.”

Hao Yingqiang was fat and strong. He avoided the old lady’s injured area, picked her up, placed her in the back of the car, and drove the old lady to the hospital.

He thought that he would have nothing to do after handing the old lady over to the doctor and would still have time to come back and deliver the food. Unexpectedly, he entered the hospital. After registering and paying the fees, the old lady said that she did not understand the situation. Hao Yingqiang was forced to be a family member and accompany her for an X-ray and checkup. He busied himself with her matters.

In a moment of carelessness, he spent more than a thousand yuan and helped the old lady pay the medical fees.

When the film was released, the old lady’s family arrived late.

It was a middle-aged man and a woman. The man’s skin was dark, and there was a sweat towel around his neck. It was obvious that he was doing hard work. The woman was slightly short and chubby, and her mouth was bald.

From the moment Hao Yingqiang saw them until the two of them walked closer, the woman’s scolding did not stop. The man lowered his head and remained silent. Only when he saw the old lady and Hao Yingqiang did his tired face change slightly.

He jogged over. “Mom, how do you feel?”

“We’re still waiting for the results…” The old lady could not understand, so Hao Yingqiang.

The man looked at his pale mother with heartache and lowered his head without saying anything.

The woman slowly walked over and rolled her eyes at the old lady without saying anything.

The four of them waited in the corridor for a while. The doctor came out with the test results. He did not care who was in front of him and said, “The old lady’s calf bone is cracked. It’s not serious, but considering that the patient is relatively old, our suggestion is to treat her conservatively.”

The man was about to open his mouth when the woman interrupted, “Doctor, how much does conservative treatment cost?”

The doctor had seen many family members who asked about the cost first without asking about the patient’s condition. The doctor said, “This depends on the patient’s recovery. Elderly people recover slower than young people. It might not take much for treatment. The family has to take care of her more. Her injured leg can’t touch the ground for the time being.”

From the doctor’s description, it was not very serious. It was just that the follow-up care would be a little troublesome. For an elderly woman in her seventies, it was already a blessing in disguise.

“Will there be repercussions?” The man asked with concern.

“This depends on the recovery results. She needs the family to take good care of her.” The doctor handed the test report to the man. “This is the medicine list. You can go get the medicine after paying the fee.”

The man looked at the list of medicine in a daze and sighed repeatedly.

Hao Yingqiang saw that the old lady’s expression was not good either. In his opinion, this situation was considered light. It was better than being hospitalized for surgery. However, on second thought, he felt a little regretful.

The car that caused the accident ran too quickly. Even though there were many people at that time, not many of them remembered the license plate number. There were no surveillance cameras around the intersection. If she could not find anyone even if she called the police, the old lady could only admit that she was unlucky and bear the medical expenses herself.

He remembered that he still had a meal to deliver and had to leave.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first,” Hao Yingqiang said to the family of three.

The woman was originally indifferent to the old lady as if nothing had happened. When she heard that she needed money, she glared at the old lady. Now that she saw Hao Yingqiang, her eyes darted around and she walked to the old lady’s side.

She whispered, “We’ll get him to compensate!”

The old lady was unwilling. “It wasn’t this young man who hit me. He was kind enough to send me to the hospital.”

The woman said evilly, “If you don’t ask him to compensate you, will you pay for the treatment? Do you have money? Your leg can’t touch the ground, we would still have to find someone to serve you, this isn’t free!”

The man at the side could not stand it anymore and retorted, “Can’t you take care of my mother?”

“Me?” The woman pointed at herself and laughed in anger. “Aren’t I working? It’s already difficult for you to earn enough to support yourself alone. How can you have the ability to raise two more idle mouths!”

The old lady and the man were speechless.

Seeing them whispering together, Hao Yingqiang felt a little uneasy. “Um, I still have something on. Who will return the money I paid first?”

“Return money to you?” The woman seemed like she heard a joke. “You hit someone and you want to leave without paying a single cent? No way!”
