Chapter 579 Who will take care of the deaf old lady?
Chapter 579 Who will take care of the deaf old lady?
Director Wang shook his head.
She had known about the conflicts between Wang Tiedan and some people in the hospital, but she didn't expect them to be so irreconcilable.
"Okay, it seems I can only look for someone else."
"Director Wang, I tell you the truth, few people in this nursing home like the deaf old lady, except Sha Zhu. But Sha Zhu and his wife both have to go to work, and they won't be able to take care of the child once they have one. They simply don't have the conditions to do so. In my opinion, you might as well send her directly to a nursing home to save the trouble." Wang Tiedan suggested.
"We have thought about it, but sending her to a nursing home depends on her personal wishes and actual circumstances. The deaf old lady has always been unwilling to do so."
"It's a different time now."
"Let me ask again."
Director Wang also had this plan, but she felt that the deaf old lady was unlikely to agree.
The conditions in the nursing home are just so-so. Several people are squeezed into one room, each with their own bed. It's not as comfortable as at home.
What's more, the deaf old lady has three private rooms.
They are not five-guarantee households in the full sense of the word.
The group came to Yard No. 95 together. Wang Tiedan went to Grandpa Ni's house, and Director Wang took people to the deaf old lady's house.
After a while, the street office staff came to the front and back yards to call for a meeting of the entire yard.
Everyone quickly arrived at the central courtyard. There was no round table and no opening remarks.
The deaf old lady was helped over and sat down in front of the steps of Shazhu. Yi Zhonghai was also helped to the door by Qin Huairu.
However, Yi Zhonghai’s legs cannot bend, so he can only stand.
The mother and son were once so arrogant in the courtyard, and their words were law.
To date, one of them broke a leg and has not yet fully recovered, and the other suffered a stroke and is drooling all over his chest.
It's really sad.
Wang Tiedan sat at the back holding his daughter and chose to listen.
When Director Wang saw everyone gathered, he cleared his throat and went straight to the point.
"Everyone, be quiet and don't waste time talking. This afternoon, Qin Huairu came to the neighborhood office and said that she had to take care of five children at home, as well as Yi Zhonghai, and she didn't have the energy to take care of the deaf old lady.
So, at the request of the deaf old lady, I called everyone here to ask who is willing to take on the task of taking care of the deaf old lady. "
Everyone looked at each other, and finally all their eyes were on Sha Zhu.
Sha Zhu didn't expect this to happen. He looked at Qin Huairu, then looked around and looked at Wang Tiedan behind the crowd.
Everyone followed his gaze and looked over.
But Wang Tiedan remained unmoved.
Ni Ye and others were even more indifferent.
More and more people wanted to join later, including a bunch from Dawang Village, and there was also Old Man Meng from the Meng family, Shouhou’s grandparents, and even Aunt Jiang in the courtyard.
But for others, don’t even think about it.
Director Wang seemed to know what everyone meant and didn’t want to waste time, so he gave a reminder.
"Everyone, don't look at Wang Tiedan anymore. They have already helped take care of Grandma Yang and Grandpa Li. There are many villagers waiting behind them. They are all relatives. There is no way they can get a place for the deaf old lady."
These words helped Wang Tiedan out of the predicament and also put the deaf old lady at ease.
She glanced at the crowd and then looked at Sha Zhu.
"He Yuzhu, I heard that the deaf old lady has always been very kind to you, and she wants to leave the house to you. How about you take over?"
Sha Zhu suddenly looked embarrassed.
"Director Wang, everyone knows me. I am still in the process of renovation in the workshop. My wife is always out early and comes back late. We can take care of her for one or two days, but for a long time, we really can't do anything about it."
It was not Sha Zhu's character to not care at all, so he continued, "How about this, whoever takes care of the old lady, I will give her an extra five dollars a month as subsidy?"
When they heard that there was an additional subsidy, everyone in the hospital started talking about it.
Everyone has a little calculation in mind. The deaf old lady eats little, and the monthly ration is 24 kilograms. At least or kilograms of food can be saved. Together with the money saved on grain, oil, non-staple food, etc., it can be worth at least three or five yuan.
Including Sha Zhu’s subsidy, it’s almost ten yuan per month, which is already a lot.
Before Director Wang could ask any more questions, several people raised their hands.
The most active ones are the second and third aunts.
The Liu family is living a hard life now. They dare not spend money even if they have it. They only get ten yuan a month salary, and they dare not even buy more eggs.
The Yan family is in a similar situation. For almost half a year, they have been spending more than they earn.
I thought that once Yan Jiefang became the team leader of the patrol team, the situation at home would be better. However, not only did Yan Jiefang not pay any money to his family, he also smoked all day and drank at every meal.
We should be thankful that Yan Bugui doesn't have to receive subsidies.
"Director Wang, let me do it. My house is next door, so it's convenient for me to take care of you." The second aunt raised her hand, stood up and said.
"Director Wang, let me do it. I'm from the street office, so you can rest assured that I can take care of the deaf old lady." The third aunt also stood up.
"Director Wang, I have more time and I will definitely be able to take good care of the deaf old lady."
"Director Wang, I can do that, too."
Seeing everyone so enthusiastic, Director Wang felt relieved.
She looked at the deaf old lady and said, "Old lady, there are many people who want to take care of you. Please choose one."
The deaf old lady nodded and looked at the second aunt.
"Let's go with Old Liu's."
"Okay, then the Liu Haizhong family will take care of it~"
Director Wang made the final decision.
The second auntie immediately looked delighted and gave the disappointed third auntie a boastful look.
"Now that the matter has been resolved, let's adjourn the meeting."
Director Wang turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Qin Huairu again.
"Director Wang, please wait a moment."
"what happened?"
Director Wang stopped and asked.
Qin Huairu supported Yi Zhonghai and showed a tearful expression again.
"Director Wang, look, my old Yi is in such a bad condition. I only get 32 yuan a month when I start working, and I have to support eight people. The average income per person is less than 5 yuan. We are already below the poverty line. Can I apply for poverty subsidy from you?"
“Poverty allowance?”
Director Wang frowned immediately.
"Doesn't Yi Zhonghai still have a lot of retirement pay?"
"Director Wang, you may not know that our Lao Yi spends nearly 20 yuan a month just on medicine. His pension is not enough for his own expenses."
"Then write your application~"
After saying that, Director Wang turned and left.
She really didn't want to talk to Qin Huairu and was annoyed from the bottom of her heart.
Seeing this, everyone left one after another, talking about it.
The country has a policy that for urban families with an average wage of less than five yuan, we will try our best to make it up to five yuan. If we can't make it, we will try to give them some food to ensure they don't starve to death.
It can be said that the current benefits are already good.
However, few people take the initiative to apply for poverty subsidies.
There are two reasons: not wanting to cause trouble for the country and being ashamed of it.
It was really surprising that Qin Huairu took the initiative to apply for it.
Everyone gradually left, and Wang Tiedan was about to pick up his daughter and go home.
Just as he was about to leave, Sha Zhu ran over.
"Tiedan, wait a moment."
"what happened?"
Sha Zhu looked at the people around him, pulled Wang Tiedan aside, and asked in a low voice: "Tiedan, I know you have connections, tell me the truth, is Xu Damao really going to die?"
