Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Chapter 207: Where is your shrewish temperament?
Lin Ruoxi sat in front of the "semi" car and steered the wheel according to the coach's instructions.

How many is half a circle, how many is one and a half circles, where is the killing...

Qiu Mengze also practiced for a while.

As for Xue Rui, he was discussing with Coach Li.

"Don't brag. Ten years ago, I would have absolutely believed you. But now the process is all electronic. How can you get an appointment for the second subject right after finishing the first subject?" Coach Li didn't believe it at all.

Xue Rui did not argue with him. After all, he had just sent his ID number to Chen Shen.

As for whether it can be done?
Chen Shen is not a person who speaks without thinking. Since he has promised him, there is no reason why he cannot do it.

However, facing Coach Li, he had no evidence to produce and could only give up and wait until the driving school could find the information.

"Don't you want to go up and practice?" Coach Li asked.

"I can." Xue Rui said lightly. It was quite interesting to watch the little girl turn the steering wheel.

"Have you driven before?" Coach Li laughed. Nowadays, many people drive first and then take the driver's license test. Before that, they were driving without a license, and only started to take the driver's license test after being caught by the traffic police...

There are also people who work in closed sections of the road, such as driving in factories and rural roads. He was not surprised that Xue Rui could drive, as he had seen many people like this.

"You still have to learn even if you have driven before. Taking an exam is not the same as driving seriously. Sometimes people who know how to drive develop a lot of bad habits and it is difficult to pass the exam." Coach Li said.

Xue Rui smiled but said nothing. He was still driving very steadily. Although he did not follow the requirements strictly, he just needed to pay a little attention.

Lin Ruoxi and Qiu Mengze played on the empty cart for a while, but soon lost interest.

Xue Rui handed Qiu Mengze's 1500 yuan to Lin Ruoxi: "Qiu Mengze returns it to you."

"Well, okay." Lin Ruoxi paused and put it into her schoolbag obediently.

Although the amount of money was wrong, Xue Rui didn't say anything, so she ignored the matter.

"I have to go back and cook for grandma." Lin Ruoxi said in a low voice, as if making a request.

"Well, pack up your things in the next two days and send the old lady to a nursing home." Xue Rui said.

He had asked Yu Minlan to look at many nursing homes before, and finally selected a few with better hardware conditions. He planned to take the little girl to see them in the next two days.

Qiu Mengze said: "Let me help too."

Although he now knew that Lin Ruoxi was very rich, he still felt that this girl was very pitiful. She had no parents and only an elderly grandmother...

Moreover, Lin Ruoxi helped him a lot. Not only did she lend him money this time, but she also brought him an extra breakfast when he was at school. Otherwise, what could he use to show his courtesy to Qin Tong?
Now I am just running errands for Lin Ruoxi, which is just the right thing to do.

Xue Rui looked at Qiu Mengze in surprise. This boy is quite thoughtful.

"Okay, you can come too." Xue Rui said with a smile.

……

In the next two days, Xue Rui took Lin Ruoxi and Qiu Mengze to see the nursing homes selected by Yu Minlan. The hardware conditions were quite good.

Xue Rui picked the quietest one, which was closest to the hospital.

Lin Ruoxi was also very satisfied with Xue Rui's choice.

Two days later, Qiu Mengze called a taxi to move his things.

In fact, to be precise, the old lady didn't have anything to bring with her. He and Lin Ruoxi were enough.

However, Xue Rui felt that it was very thoughtful of Qiu Mengze to come.

Qiu Mengze said to the old lady: "Hello, grandma."

The old lady smiled happily. She thought it was a good thing that her granddaughter had a new friend.

She had heard old men and women in the village talk about the nursing home before, saying that the food and accommodation there were better than in the village.

But what she cared about was not this, but not causing trouble for her granddaughter.

Now, she can finally breathe a sigh of relief. She felt so uncomfortable being served by her granddaughter every day...

Anyway, it was Xue Rui's money that was spent on her living in the nursing home, so she didn't feel bad about it.

Lin Ruoxi held the old lady's arm, with some reluctance in her eyes.

Xue Rui looked at the little girl's expression and said with a smile, "People need to socialize. The old lady has people of the same age to chat with in the nursing home. It's not a big deal to lock her up at home."

"Yeah." Lin Ruoxi nodded. She listened to Xue Rui.

The group arrived at the nursing home, which was not located in a remote area but was not in a busy city either.

The yard is fully equipped with entertainment facilities, a large public green area, lush flowers and plants, and is well maintained.

There were old men and old ladies chatting together, and some were playing mahjong and chess...

"It's great. I want to come here when I'm old." Qiu Mengze was surprised at the hardware environment here. It looked much better than school.

"It's not as good as you think." Xue Rui said in a low voice.

Those sitting outside are all elderly people who are in relatively good health, so it certainly looks peaceful, but where are those elderly people who can't move?
If possible, he wanted to keep the old lady in the orthopedic ward. The nurses in public hospitals are much better than caregivers, and the fees are not high.

But after the winter, the hospitals were overcrowded, and he didn't want to monopolize medical resources by relying on his wealth.

As for the nursing home, the old lady is now able to take care of herself, but Xue Rui still pays the highest fee, which is more than 5,000 yuan a month, which is much higher than the income of many young people in Hedong.

When they reached the door of the nursing home, someone came to greet them.

The person who came was a woman in her forties, wearing clothes custom-made by the nursing home.

"Hello, old lady." The woman said softly.

She originally thought it was a half-paralyzed old person, but the old lady in front of her was surprisingly in good health, so she thought she had gotten a bargain.

"Well, take us to see the old lady's room." Xue Rui said.

Qiu Mengze thought back to what Xue Rui had said before. This was really his first time in such a place...

He has elderly people at home, and there are also elderly people at the homes of his relatives and friends...

But I haven’t heard of many people being sent to nursing homes?
In fact, both the elderly and children need to be taken care of, and nursing homes are similar to boarding primary schools. The difference is that children are the core members of the family and the hope for the family's future. If they are injured, parents will come to ask for an explanation.

But what about the elderly who are sent to nursing homes? Aren’t they just family members who are “semi-abandoned”?
Old people can't compare to children.

The two waited at the door of the room. Lin Ruoxi packed up the old lady's things inside and wrote some notes to tell the nurse how to use the old lady's daily medicine...

Qiu Mengze said: "Lin Ruoxi is not short of money, why doesn't she hire someone to take care of her?"

"You don't understand." Xue Rui shook his head.

Hire a nurse? There is no filial son for a long-term patient. Even your own son may not be reliable. How can you trust an outsider to take care of the patient?
The old lady has only the little girl as a relative. After the little girl goes to school, the caregiver controls the life and death of the old lady. It is safer to have a regulatory agency like a nursing home.

Moreover, human nature is something that transcends age and class and is the same wherever you are.

"Do you think they are all the same?" Xue Rui looked at the old man in the distance.

Some of the elderly people looked quite energetic, chatting and laughing with the people around them, while others just sat there in a daze, as if they were isolated.

"Uh..." Qiu Mengze couldn't say anything. He didn't understand what Xue Rui meant.

"Wherever there are people, there is a chain of discrimination." Xue Rui sighed.

He had previously worked with bosses in the elderly care industry and had some understanding of the industry.

There is also a chain of discrimination among the elderly in nursing homes. The rich look down on the poor, and those with children dare to bully the elderly without children by relying on their support.

As for the nursing home workers? They are managers and service providers, just like kindergarten teachers.

The parents of children are their parents, while the parents of the elderly are their children.

If the parents are rich and powerful, the teacher will take extra care of the children even if he or she does not accept gifts.

Similarly, if children visit the elderly frequently, the caregivers will be wary of being complained about by the elderly’s children.

But what about those who have no children and no one visits them all year round? What kind of services will they get?
Elderly people who have no children to advocate for their rights may be abused or even extorted by caregivers even if they pay the highest amount of money...

As for the consequences? Of course there are no consequences.

When you are old, you can’t even get out of bed and all your actions are controlled by the caregivers. What’s so scary about that?

Xue Rui walked into the room and looked around. The old lady lived in a single room with good lighting. There was a large CRT TV on the table against the wall.

"What the hell? I spent so much money just to see this?" Xue Rui said in a hoarse voice.

The nurse smiled awkwardly and thought to himself, how good does it get for the old man?
"Changed. I'll have someone deliver an LCD TV tomorrow." Xue Rui said, patting the TV.

The nurse's eyes twitched, she felt that Xue Rui was bragging.

However, Xue Rui took out a new iPhone from his bag and threw it on the old lady's bed.

"There are several people's phone numbers saved in it. You must recognize your granddaughter's name, right?" Xue Rui reminded him, and then glanced at the nurse: "Remember to charge her phone. The charger is in her bag."

The nurse gasped. Although she was not young anymore, she still knew about Apple phones.

Not many young people can afford iPhones these days, so this guy just gave it to an old lady? Isn't that a bit wasteful?
Then the LCD TV must be real...

Xue Rui's loud voice attracted many elderly people to stop and watch, wondering who was coming.

"Wow, this family is full of young people." An old man muttered.

"What are you looking at? Block the light." Xue Rui said unhappily.

"How can you be so irritable at such a young age?" The old man shook his head and walked out.

Lin Ruoxi looked dazed. Was Xue Rui in a bad mood today? Why was he speaking so loudly?

She glanced at Xue Rui weakly, and she felt that Xue Rui was very fierce at this moment.

The old lady was surprised, thinking, what's wrong with this kid today? His temper was so bad that her granddaughter was scared and her face turned pale.

"If you have any problem, just call and someone will come right over." Xue Rui said loudly.

He approached the old lady and said, "Where is the shrewish temperament you had when you were young? I heard from the people in Hua Village that you were a famous shrew in the surrounding area."

"Nonsense!" The old lady's face turned black. Xue Rui actually exposed her dark history.

"Hehe, haven't you heard this saying?" Xue Rui said with a smile.

"What?" the old lady asked in confusion.

"Good people don't live long, but evil deeds last for thousands of years." Xue Rui said with a smile.

"You little bastard!" The old lady raised her cane and pretended to hit him.

Lin Ruoxi thought Xue Rui was going to be beaten, so she hurriedly stood in front of Xue Rui.

"Grandma, don't hit Xue Rui." The little girl was almost crying.

The old lady snorted coldly. What a fool her granddaughter was. She was old and weak, how could she beat Xue Rui?
Do I need your protection?
The old lady glared at Xue Rui and said, "Get out."

Xue Rui understood what she meant. It should be that the old lady wanted to say something to Lin Ruoxi.

He stood at the door, listening to the chatter of people around him and nodded slightly.

After being scolded by Xue Rui, the melon-eating old man kept complaining to the people around him.

"Here comes a grumpy old lady." The old man nodded.

"Have you talked to her?" someone asked puzzled.

"I know this without you even having to talk. You haven't seen what kind of person her grandson is! The whole family is the same, and the old lady is probably not much better."

"Look, there's another vagrant over there." Someone pointed at Qiu Mengze and said.

Qiu Mengze looked ugly, and his image was also dragged down by Xue Rui. Some people actually said that he was a vagrant. He was a future undergraduate student!
"Why are you acting like a gangster today?" Qiu Mengze asked puzzledly.

Xue Rui did not explain, he was very satisfied with the evaluation of "Liuzi".
