Chapter 1800: [Side Story] unexpected disaster

“Tumor-like thing?”

Hearing this, Zhang Zian couldn’t help but become serious.

No matter what, it was not a good thing to have something abnormal in the stomach.

“I don’t know the details. I wasn’t there.” Electrician Wu explained.

“What happened after that?”

“嗐! I just said that old Zhao is very tough, but when the results of the stomach examination came out and his son-in-law said it, he immediately collapsed in his chair. His lips trembled for a long time, and his face was pale. ”

In fact, this was very normal. When people talked about other people’s illnesses, they could always be rational, objective, and calm. But once the illness fell on themselves, how many people could still remain calm?

Especially the word “tumor.” This wasn’t a cold or fever, this was cancer!

These days, whether it was because of environmental pollution or lifestyle problems, there were more and more people suffering from cancer, and they were getting younger and younger. It was not a new thing for middle-aged and elderly people to suffer from cancer. Many young people had similar colleagues and friends suffering from cancer. Once they were related to cancer, who wouldn’t talk about the change in expression?

Of course, welder Zhao’s reaction was one layer more than that of ordinary people. He was worried that it would cost a lot of money to treat cancer. Although retired employees like them had medical insurance, the medical insurance did not cover the full amount. Not to mention, some specific anti-cancer drugs were not covered by the medical insurance. They had to pay out of their own pockets, and those drugs were all sky-high prices. This general knowledge had long been spread to the public by the popular drug G.o.d movie.

“The doctor didn’t say anything?” Zhang Zian asked.

“The doctor asked him to stay in the hospital for further examination, but old Zhao … After he recovered, his temper rose and he refused to stay in the hospital. He had no choice but to call his daughter and ask her to talk to her mother-in-law and get old Zhao’s wife to come and persuade him … But he sneaked away from the hospital when his son-in-law called. When his son-in-law finished the call, he was gone!” Electrician Wu’s tone was filled with disappointment.

“If he’s the strongest son-in-law, then there should be no problem …” Zhang Zian mumbled.

“What?” Electrician Wu didn’t understand.

“Nothing, and then master Zhao went home?” Zhang Zian asked.

“Yes, he went straight to bed and started to make arrangements for his funeral. His wife was angry and anxious. If it were any other time, she would have hit him, but … But now that she thought about the possibility that he might have cancer and not have many days left, how could she bear to hit him?” Electrician Wu shook his head and sighed.”You don’t know this, but his family has been in a mess for the past two days. His wife and daughter have been crying all day, trying to persuade him to go to the hospital for treatment, but he refused to do so. He even said that if they call an ambulance, even if they take him to the hospital, he will find a way to escape. What do you think we should do? Isn’t that infuriating?”

Every family had its own difficulties. It was okay to say that welder Zhao was stubborn and stupid, but he was really thinking about his family. He felt that he was already so old, and it was not too early to die. He could not let his family live a hard life just to treat his illness. The worst thing was that he had nothing. His family understood that, so they had to think about him even more. If he lost money, he could tighten his belt and earn it again, but if he lost his life, he was really gone.

“Master Wu, please calm down first. Don’t get too angry and hurt your body.” Zhang Zian tried to persuade him,”I’m just wondering why this illness came so suddenly. Did master Zhao do anything special before he got sick?”

“It’s sudden, but manager Zhang, to be honest, I’m old and have seen a lot of things. Some of them suddenly got sick, including cancer. A few of my old cla.s.smates and colleagues died like that. They were fine before they went to the hospital for a check-up, but after they were diagnosed with cancer, they almost collapsed in the blink of an eye.”

Electrician Wu thought of his friends who had pa.s.sed away, and his eyes became wet.

Zhang Zian nodded. Many types of cancer were very well hidden before they reached the final stage, with almost no obvious signs. Once they entered the final stage and showed signs, the person was basically hopeless.

“If we’re talking about something special that he did …” Electrician Wu tried to recall, but he suddenly smiled bitterly.”Manager Zhang, you know that most of the things that he did were not normal. They were all things that ordinary people couldn’t do!”

Zhang Zian also laughed. Electrician Wu’s evaluation was too correct. Fortunately, welder Zhao always had electrician Wu by his side. Otherwise, he didn’t know what more ridiculous things he would do.

“Something special …” Electrician Wu’s smile disappeared. He thought for a while and said,”recently, he did something so stupid that I was too embarra.s.sed to say it … You know that the seafood market is going yellow, right?”

At first, Zhang Zian thought that the seafood market had another “x.x.x” incident, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn’t mean it that way.

“Why is it turning yellow? I haven’t been to the seafood market recently. ” He said.

“Didn’t you see the news? Didn’t you say that there were problems in several seafood markets both in China and abroad? either there were patients with the disease or the virus was detected in seafood products. ” Electrician Wu explained,”although the virus wasn’t detected in the seafood market in Haibin city, it’s still quite … Jittery. The market supervision Department is almost permanently stationed in the seafood market, afraid that something would happen. If something were to happen, from the District Secretary to the direct leader of the seafood market, a large number of people would be fired.”

“Oh, I understand.” Zhang Zian suddenly understood.

Although that kind of … Viral disease had almost been suppressed in the country, the repeated outbreak of the virus in the seafood market made everyone shudder.

Especially for the officials, they could do nothing, but they could not make mistakes. If they did nothing, they could be promoted step by step. If they got into trouble, no matter if it was self-inflicted or an undeserved disaster, their life would end. Because someone had to be responsible for it. Why couldn’t it be you?

Electrician Wu continued,”that’s why the seafood merchants in the seafood market are having a hard time. The local seafood merchants are fine, but the frozen imported seafood merchants are really unlucky. They were ordered by the market supervision Department to close down. All frozen imported seafood can’t be sold. When can it be sold? I don’t know, but it’s probably not going to happen this year. ”

Zhang Zian nodded. It wasn’t convenient to comment on this kind of thing. Everyone had their own difficulties, just in case something happened.

“You know how expensive imported seafood is. The price is high. Now that we’ve lost everything, the merchants won’t be able to get any compensation. Some of them just admit that they’re unlucky, and some of them … Maybe they’re greedy, or maybe they’re borrowing the loan. They really can’t lose everything, so they secretly sold the frozen seafood in the warehouse at the base price. They’ll sell it for as much money as they can …”

Without waiting for electrician Wu to finish, Zhang Zian had already guessed it. “Could it be that master Zhao went to take advantage of the situation again?”
