Chapter 8 People have to rely on themselves
Chapter 8 People have to rely on themselves
The days are short in winter and it gets dark before six o'clock.
Coming out of the stir-fry restaurant, I got on my electric scooter and prepared to go home.
Feng Yu said, "Don't fight with others again."
Jiang Ning was stunned and was about to ask for clarification.
Feng Yu stepped on the accelerator and rode away on his electric scooter.
The more Jiang Ning thought about it, the more he felt it was meaningful. Although he had never been in love and lacked relevant experience, he was not a fool. How could he not feel that Feng Yu's last sentence was sending a signal.
After thinking for a while, I had a vague guess.
Just not sure.
When I got home, I sent a WeChat message to Feng Yu.
"What did you mean by that last sentence?"
"Means nothing."
"Are you concerned about me?"
"That's it!"
Jiang Ning asked: "Did I pass the inspection?"
Feng Yu: "Well, I think you are a responsible person."
Jiang Ning asked again: "Why didn't you tell me directly just now?"
Feng Yu: “…”
Jiang Ning asked: "Is it related to this incident?"
Feng Yu: "Yes, you are brave enough to do what is right, which at least shows that you are a trustworthy person."
Jiang Ning asked: "Then are we boyfriend and girlfriend?"
Feng Yu: "I just think you are more reliable."
Jiang Ning didn't quite understand: "What do you mean?"
Feng Yu: "You are such a straight man!"
"This……"
Jiang Ning was very puzzled: "What's wrong with me?"
Feng Yu: "Think about it yourself!"
Jiang Ning: "..."
But after lying in bed for a long time thinking about it, I still couldn't figure it out.
How come I'm a straight man?
If you don’t understand it, don’t think about it.
Then he asked Feng Yu: "Are you free tomorrow?"
"what?"
"I'll go with you to the traffic police station to ask about compensation."
“There are no classes after 4pm.”
"I'll be at the traffic police station at 4 p.m."
"Well, I'll go over after class."
The next day, Jiang Ning arrived at the traffic police team at four o'clock in the afternoon.
Not long after, Feng Yu came riding an electric scooter.
The electric bike has been repaired, and it cost several hundred dollars.
The weather was too cold, so Feng Yu wrapped himself tightly.
After parking the car, he looked at Jiang Ning and asked, "Why are you wearing so little? Aren't you cold?"
Jiang Ning wore a coat, and it was autumn, and he also added a pair of autumn long johns on his legs. Anyway, he didn't feel how cold it was. It was probably related to the origin of the five elements. He said: "I don't feel how cold it is. I can resist cold."
Feng Yu said: "If you don't take care when you are young, you will be sick when you are old."
Jiang Ning: "..."
Why are you so long-winded?
Feng Yu asked: "What do you think?"
Jiang Ning said, "From the time the accident happened until now, that bastard said he wouldn't pay for the medical expenses and the repairs to the electric bike. I can't even see him. He's been asked to pay 10,000 yuan, or else he'll sue me in court. I've consulted, and ligament injuries can be classified as a grade 10 disability. If I sue him in court for compensation, I'll have to pay at least 70,000 to 80,000 yuan for nutrition fees, lost work fees, and nursing fees."
Feng Yu nodded: "Then do as you say."
So I went into the police station and found the traffic police to ask about the situation.
The traffic police first asked Jiang Ning: "What is your relationship with the victim?"
Jiang Ning said: "I am friends with the victim's sister."
The traffic police understood and continued to ask: "What is your request?"
Feng Yu looked at Jiang Ning and let him speak.
Jiang Ningke was not afraid and said, "The victim's ligaments were damaged and the electric bike was broken. I haven't even seen him since the accident. He is such a jerk. Let him pay 10,000 yuan and forget about it. Otherwise, we will sue him in court."
The traffic police nodded and understood the situation.
Feng Yu's sister Feng Xue did nothing wrong in this matter, so it can be said that she suffered an unprovoked disaster.
The behavior of the parties at the time of the incident and their performance afterwards.
It's indeed a bit unfair.
But from the perspective of public security, we cannot be partial.
The traffic police said, "This is a difficult matter. If you didn't hit anyone at the time, we could mediate and maybe the other party would agree to your request. But since you hit someone, they are ready to sue you for compensation, so mediation is unlikely."
Jiang Ning said: "Then let's prepare to sue as well!"
The traffic police asked, "How is the injured recovering?"
Feng Yu continued: "It's recovering well."
The traffic police said: "Let me ask first. If the other party wants to mediate, then we will try to mediate. If the other party does not intend to mediate, then you can go through the litigation process!"
Jiang Ning and Feng Yu both nodded.
The traffic police made the phone call in front of them.
The result was not very good, the other party was very arrogant.
Not only did he have no intention of mediating, but he also threatened to sue Jiang Ning.
Come on.
The only option is to sue.
After coming out of the traffic police team, Feng Yu was in a bad mood.
Jiang Ning is not very good at comforting people: "Don't worry, I'll take care of it!"
Feng Yu was depressed for a moment. This guy was definitely a straight man, but then he smiled and his mood improved. Although this guy was a little unromantic, he was reliable. So he nodded and said, "Well, the holidays are coming soon. The school is very busy recently. I don't have the time or energy to worry about these things. You can do whatever you want. Tell me if you need money."
Jiang Ning said: "I have money!"
Feng Yu said: "This is my business, how can I let you spend money again."
Jiang Ning asked, "Aren't we in a relationship? Why do we have to be so clear about it?"
Feng Yu said: "We are just dating, and we haven't talked about marriage yet. It's better to be clear about it. If you feel that we are not suitable in the future, it can also avoid financial losses."
Jiang Ning nodded: "What you said makes sense. Let's have dinner together tonight?"
Feng Yu said, "It's not that I don't want to agree to you, but it's mainly because my sister is alone at home. If I don't go home for dinner, it will be difficult for her to cook for one person, so she can just make do with a simple meal. Besides, she should have started cooking at this time, so..."
Jiang Ning expressed his understanding: "Then go home and eat. Bring your sister with us when you have time."
Feng Yu agreed, and then they rode the electric scooter back to the community together.
The next day, Jiang Ning found a lawyer and prepared to collect materials for the lawsuit. The lawyer's name was Gao Jinliang, who was about 30 years old.
After understanding the case, he told Jiang Ning the truth: "This lawsuit is not difficult. We are not at fault at all. You can win even without hiring a lawyer. Of course, if you want to claim compensation, it will be very complicated. How much do you plan to claim?"
Jiang Ning said: "Of course the more the better."
Gao Jinliang said: "Ligament injuries can be serious or minor. It is not uncommon for serious cases to claim hundreds of thousands of dollars. But you, the victim, were not hospitalized. To be honest, the amount of compensation will not be too high. If you can get a level 10 disability assessment, I think there is still hope of getting the other party to pay 50,000 or 60,000 yuan."
Jiang Ning asked: "Can you handle the disability assessment?"
Gao Jinliang shook his head and said, "I can't handle it!"
Jiang Ning said: "Let me think of a way!"
I went to the appraisal center to ask, but it was difficult.
Ligament damage can indeed be classified as a grade 10 disability, but there were some problems with the hospital's certification materials and they did not meet the standards, so a new certificate had to be issued, which the hospital of course refused to give. Jiang Ning could only ask relatives for help.
Which relative has the most power?
Of course it has to be my second cousin.
So Jiang Ning went to his second uncle's house.
Guo Shumin and Jiang Ning's aunt both retired on public payroll, but they were not familiar with the medical system and could not help, so they called Guo Youping on the spot, told him what happened, and asked him to find a solution.
Guo Youping said: "Nowadays, there are procedures for doing things. You can't just get whatever you want. No one will do this kind of thing that makes others take risks. My face is useless."
Guo Shumin hung up the phone, looked at Jiang Ning and said, "You heard it, your brother said that his face is useless."
Jiang Ning was very disappointed, but he could only say, "Sorry for the trouble, uncle."
Guo Shumin said: "If there is any trouble, I just want to make a phone call."
The second aunt was very dissatisfied: "If he can't help with such a small matter, what's the point of having this son?"
Jiang Ning was extremely embarrassed and couldn't sit still any longer, so he got up and left.
When I got downstairs, I looked up at the gray sky.
Suddenly I realized that life is difficult and I have to rely on myself.
Jiang Ning didn't want to give up. Feng Yu said that his character was reliable, so he must be reliable.
How can a man give up easily?
I didn’t want to trouble my relatives, so I asked among my classmates.
No one can help.
When I was at a loss for what to do, I suddenly remembered that Zhang Xin’s husband was also a leader.
I wanted to ask this question just to give it a try.
Zhang Xin told the truth: "My husband knows the leaders of the Chinese medicine hospital, but I don't know if he can help."
Jiang Ning asked, "Can I visit my brother-in-law at home tonight?"
Zhang Xin: "Wait a minute, I'll ask for you."
Jiang Ning: “Please.”
After waiting for a while, Zhang Xin replied: "Come over in the evening."
Jiang Ning: "Okay, I'll be there at seven."
Zhang Xin's home is in Mingzhu Garden in the west of the city.
under night.
Jiang Ning carried the wine bag and wandered around for a long time before he found Building No. 3.
Go up to the fourth floor and knock on the door on the left.
It was Zhang Xin who opened the door.
Jiang Ning called out, "Sister Zhang!"
Zhang Xin was a little surprised, but she still quickly asked someone to come in.
Jiang Ning walked in and took a quick look.
There was a man sitting on the sofa, in his early thirties.
Slightly plump, turning his head to look over here.
Zhang Xin introduced him: "This is my husband."
Jiang Ning immediately greeted him: "Hello, Director Shen."
Shen Liming stood up and responded: "Hello!"
Jiang Ning put the wine box next to the shoe cabinet.
Zhang Xin took a quick glance and was obviously surprised.
But nothing was said.
Sitting on the sofa, Zhang Xin made him a cup of tea.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Xin asked about Feng Yu's sister's situation.
Jiang Ning told the story.
Zhang Xin sighed, "This is too unlucky. However, some people's quality is really problematic nowadays. They don't pay attention when opening the car door, and their attitude is even more problematic. This lawsuit should be filed, and that person must pay the price."
Shen Liming just nodded and said nothing.
Zhang Xin asked with great interest: "How was your talk with Teacher Feng?"
Jiang Ning told the truth: "She thinks I'm a nice person and we're dating."
Zhang Xin said, "Then you have to work hard. I heard that someone in the school introduced a date to Teacher Feng a few days ago!"
Jiang Ning was a little surprised, but didn't ask any further questions.
After chatting for a while, we talked about disability assessment.
Zhang Xin asked Shen Liming: "Can you help me?"
Shen Liming said: "I am just a deputy, I don't have that much face, I can only ask, I can't guarantee whether it will work or not."
Zhang Xin asked: "Then ask!"
Jiang Ning said hurriedly, "Well, I know this is really difficult. Director Shen, please don't ask any more questions. Can you help me arrange for the leaders of the Chinese Medicine Hospital to have a meal together? I can handle the rest myself."
Shen Liming said: "Having a meal is no problem, I'll make an appointment for you."
Jiang Ning expressed his gratitude, sat for more than ten minutes, and then stood up to say goodbye.
Zhang Xin sent him to the door and casually handed the wine bag he had brought to him: "Take this back!"
"How can this be done!"
Jiang Ning hurriedly pushed it back and ran away without looking back.
Zhang Xin was helpless: "Taking such an expensive wine, it's really..."
Shen Liming asked: "What kind of wine did you get?"
Zhang Xin said: "Two bottles of Moutai."
Shen Liming was quite surprised: "You are so willing to give it up!"
Zhang Xin asked: "What should I do? I didn't help at all, and I accepted such an expensive gift..."
Shen Liming said: "Then find a chance to return it!"
Zhang Xin sighed: "He ran too fast, I couldn't stop him."
Shen Liming said: "Bring it here so I can see if it's real Moutai or fake Moutai."
Zhang Xin grabbed the wine bag and put it on the coffee table.
Shen Liming took it out and looked at it, saying, "It looks like it should be real Moutai..."
Suddenly I found a small box in the wine bag.
He just took it out and said, "Why is there a small box here?"
Zhang Xin glanced at it and was also curious: "Open it and see what it is."
