Chapter 9 A Ghost on The Road (I)(3)
“Don’t be impulsive, let her go!” The policeman saw the man trying to hit the woman and came to mediate.
“Maybe he will contact you in a minute, don’t worry, just a few thousand yuan. There is no need to go to the police station.” An old man next to him who seemed to know something said.
The police officers are accustomed to such incidents often happening in front of the police station. But when I first joined the police team, I was full of curiosity and went out of the police station to see what happened.
Under the mediation of the policeman, the emotions on both sides quickly stabilized, and the middle-aged man repeated the story.
His name was Wendell. He got very serious gallstones. He often rolled around in pain. After a period of time, he finally couldn’t bear it. So he decided to take out his only 5,000 yuan savings to open surgery in the city. The hospital where the operation was performed was introduced by Jack Lee, a barefoot doctor in the village. Jack, who was also his neighbor, was over 50 years old this year. Because he learned a little medical knowledge by himself, he opened a small clinic in the village to make a living. Later, the medical institutions were standardized, and Jack’s small clinic was closed. While secretly treating some villagers with headache and fever, he also served as a medical care provider for some second-tier hospitals, so that he could draw some commissions from the cost of the treatment.
