Rebirth and making money first

Chapter 115 Alternative Job Responsibilities

Zhang Jing was secretly working on a story in her dorm room when the phone rang. Li Xiangyue answered the phone, anxiously informing her that she needed help at the outpatient clinic. An elderly woman had collapsed while playing mahjong. Startled, Zhang Jing quickly gathered her belongings and rushed to the clinic.

Arriving at the clinic, Zhang Jing found Dr. Huang inquiring about Li Xiangyue's condition. Dr. Huang, a retired but rehired traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, shared responsibility for the nursing home with two other retired doctors, a man and a woman. Several nurses were also assisting.

When Zhang Jing arrived, Dr. Huang was busy instructing Li Xiangyue: "Notify the family as soon as possible, call 120 emergency number immediately, and send the patient directly to the hospital. At the same time, the nurse must go together, and your hospital office must also send someone to follow up." Li Xiangyue nodded repeatedly in response.

After thinking for a while, he turned to Zhang Jing and said, "You follow the ambulance to the hospital. If you encounter any problems, call me in time." Zhang Jing nodded in agreement, but suggested going back to the dormitory to get some necessary items, such as drinking cups and tissues.

She emphasized that she was pregnant and couldn't overwork herself, and that the nurses also needed to stay in the hospital to take care of the patients. Finally, she asked about the patient's current condition so that she could prepare in advance.

Dr. Huang said, "It's just that he's old, and he has high blood pressure and a heart attack. He got so excited playing mahjong that this happened. I've repeatedly told him to control his emotions as he gets older. Why didn't he listen?"

Zhang Jing didn’t understand: Aren’t we not allowed to play with money?

The nurse said that she was counting chips as money, "How much did she lose?" Zhang Jing thought the old woman lost a lot.

"She didn't lose, she even won three," the nurse said helplessly. "Her hobby is playing cards at this time every day without fail."

"Xiao Ye Zi, as her caregiver, why weren't you with her when she was playing cards?"

"I'm going back to my room to clean up!" Little Leaf cried out in injustice.

Li Xiangyue hurriedly stopped him: "Okay, stop arguing about this.

The family has gone straight to the hospital. If they ask, you know what to say, right? I'll go check in with those three mahjong players."

Xiao Ye Zi asked, "How many days do I have to stay in the hospital?"

Zhang Jing said, "Hurry up and pack up your daily necessities. It will probably take a while. If you have a field allowance, remember to bring money and come back to get reimbursed."

The ambulance arrived quickly, and after changing to the hospital's oxygen cylinder, Zhang Jing and Xiao Ye Zi followed the car and took the old man's medical record card to the hospital. It was said that this hospital was a designated institution for the elderly in the nursing home and could use the green channel.

The old man was rushed to the emergency room, and his family was on their way. The doctor came out to ask for a signature, but said that resuscitation was of little use. The family received a call and was told they would be there soon.

The family members arrived, the elderly woman's children. After discussion and communication with the hospital, the family decided to forgo treatment. "My mother has worked hard her entire life, and we can't bear to torture her any further. Let her go! She's always told us that if she ever needs to go to the ICU, don't save her. As children, we prioritize the elderly woman's wishes."

After Zhang Jing inquired about the situation, she handed over the matter to the family and prepared to return to work. She called Li Manyue and asked if Xiaoye should stay at the hospital. Li Manyue said, "Not only should Xiaoye stay, but you should also stay until the old man is confirmed dead before you can return!"

Zhang Jing felt uncomfortable after hearing this and said, "Sister-in-law, why don't you find someone else to come?" "After all, I'm pregnant, and I'm afraid it will cause trouble for the child!"

Li Xiangyue said, "Zhang Jing, don't be so squeamish! This is also work. I've taken good care of you. You should be almost there too!" After a pause, she continued, "Then come back once the old man is confirmed dead!"

Zhang Jing was angry, but there was nothing she could do. But she also didn't want to break up with Li Xiangyue. After some thought, she discussed it with Xiao Ye Zi, "I'm pregnant and I'm not comfortable here. I'll find a restaurant nearby and grab some fast food and we'll eat together. After the family signs the refusal form, we can either send the elderly to the morgue or directly to the crematorium. You call me."

Zhang Jing comforted the family and told Xiaoye to stay and help. If she wasn't needed, she could go back and sort out the old man's belongings until the family arrived. The family told Zhang Jing to go back and not need help. Xiaoye would be fine, and told them to call if anything else mattered.

Zhang Jing had no choice but to go eat by herself first, and asked him to pack a lunch box for her later.

Feeling a little tired, Zhang Jing sat down and ate slowly. Thinking of Li Manyue's attitude, she was very angry and simply called Zhang Yongle: "Did you make your wife angry?"

Zhang Yongle was confused. "Why do you say that?"

Zhang Jing sneered, "You knew I couldn't get too tired while pregnant, but you still forced me to call the ambulance to bring a dying man to the hospital for his funeral! Are all the managers at the nursing home dead?"

"Where are you now? Is there something wrong?" Zhang Yongle was also anxious. "This woman will feel uncomfortable if she doesn't cause trouble every day. Don't be angry. I will make it clear to her today that my sister is not someone she can bully!"

"Okay, I'm eating. If this was just one time, I'd think she was crazy. But if this continued perversion affected my son's development, I wouldn't be polite! She's been messing around at work, and I haven't said a word. It's too early to silence her now! You two are really the same."

"What do you mean? Xiaojing, tell me clearly, is there something wrong with me?" Zhang Yongle was indeed very clear-headed.

"I don't want to bother with you. I didn't say anything. Just go by yourself!" Zhang Jing hung up the phone and ate slowly.

After Zhang Jing handed Xiao Ye the lunch box, Xiao Ye finally spoke: "The old lady has passed away. Her children are now choosing funeral clothes. I still have to help wipe her body and change her into clean clothes..."

Zhang Jing asked worriedly, "Are you scared?"

Little Leaf sighed and replied, "Ah! You know what? Even though we often quarreled, I still felt really bad when she really left. But I can't say I was scared. I'm fine. She's gone now."

"That's good, just do your best. According to the rules, caregivers are not only responsible for taking care of the elderly's daily life, but also need to help with things like wiping the elderly's body and changing clothes when they are dying." Zhang Jing had heard someone mention this before.

"If you meet a reasonable family member, they will give the caregiver a red envelope to express their gratitude. It's just a thoughtful gesture. Once before, a caregiver only received a red envelope of 100 yuan, and the rest of the money was taken by the director. I have to go back to the nursing home first. If a family member gives you a red envelope of gratitude, remember to accept it and don't hand it in. If others ask how much money you received, you can handle it yourself. Don't force yourself to do anything!"

Zhang Jing's words touched Xiao Ye Zi: "Thank you, Sister Jing! I understand. You are a good person!"

Zhang Jing waved her hand: "I'm leaving first."

"How much is the lunch box? It can be reimbursed!" Xiao Ye Zi remembered.

"Never mind, I'll treat you!"

"Then you better be careful!" Xiao Ye Zi sincerely reminded Zhang Jing.

Zhang Jing rode the bus slowly back to work. It was lunchtime. She washed her hands and face, changed into her pajamas, and fell asleep.

Zhang Jing didn't know that her call had made Zhang Yongle suspicious of his wife. Thinking about Li Xiangyue's words and actions, he felt uncomfortable. So he quietly went to the nursing home at noon.

The security guard at the door knew the leader and wanted to call the dean and Li Xiangyue, but was stopped by Zhang Yongle. He said he was going to get something from his wife for personal matters and was leaving without disturbing the dean.

Zhang Yongle hadn't expected the shocking scene he'd see when he used his key to unlock Li Xiangyue's dorm: his wife, naked and shamelessly sleeping in the same bed with the sanctimonious dean in the middle of the day! The bastard's hand was even resting disgustingly on the whore's breast.

Zhang Yongle felt a surge of hot blood rushing to his head, his vision turning crimson, his head buzzing. He clenched his fists, glaring at the unbearable scene before him with gritted teeth, his heart filled with anger and pain.

He couldn't believe his eyes. His once beloved wife had betrayed him, and so brazenly and openly. He felt immensely humiliated and furious, wanting to rush over and tear the adulterous couple into pieces. However, reason told him not to do so. He had to remain calm and handle the matter properly.

Zhang Yongle took a deep breath and tried to suppress his inner impulse. He slowly turned around, gently closed the door, and then silently took a photo with his mobile phone.

Zhang Yongle quietly left this heartbreaking place. He knew that all this was irreversible, but he had to face reality and find a suitable way to solve this problem.

Zhang Yongle had come to this dormitory to rest before, that was to take a break from inspection work. He didn't expect that after more than a year, this woman would be waiting for him here! Thinking of the time he had been with this woman a few nights ago... Zhang Yongle's eyes reddened. He would be unmanly if he could endure it any longer!

Zhang Jing woke up at 4 o'clock. She didn't want to move and just wanted to lie in bed. Seeing that it was almost time, she got up and made a glass of milk to drink.

After get off work, Achen and Alan came to pick up Zhang Jing. Zhang Jing smiled and asked Alan, "Would you like to go to my house for a nice meal?"

Alan said, "Yes, yes! The squad leader asked me to go. I haven't seen grandpa for a long time. Let's go together to pick you up."
