"This amount of money is not enough to do anything, Wuhai Talent Network, give me some more!" Xiao Wang frequently changed phone numbers to call Mr. and Mrs. Xiao Song and their relatives, disturbing the entire family.
Afterwards, in order to give her mother the best treatment, Xiao Song helped transfer her mother to a hospital in Dalian for treatment, and her mother's condition gradually stabilized. The whole family still talked about Xiao Wang as a "living Lei Feng." Unexpectedly, Xiao Wang appeared at this time.
After returning home, Mr. and Mrs. Xiao Song discussed it and decided to give Xiao Wang 500 yuan as a token of gratitude. "He really did help our family a lot; we should thank him," Xiao Song said, but he just felt strange, why didn't Xiao Wang ask for a "thank-you fee" at that time but changed his mind later?
"We can't forget him; he was almost a living Lei Feng." Xiao Song and Xiao Wang exchanged contact information, deciding to be friends in the future.
Xiao Song also heard that Xiao Wang always loitered around the train station, and his phone was often off or out of credit. "Actually, Xiao Wang's request for a 'thank-you fee' is understandable, but he shouldn't keep calling and harassing others," Xiao Song said. Now, every time they see an unfamiliar number, the whole family dares not answer the phone.
"A 'Living Lei Feng' turns into demanding a 'thank-you fee'"
After transferring the money, Xiao Song was still uneasy, so she had a distant cousin deliver the money to Xiao Wang in Jinzhou. During the delivery process, Xiao Wang obtained the cousin's phone number. After receiving the 500 yuan "thank-you fee," Xiao Wang called the cousin to demand another "thank-you fee."
Xiao Song gave the reporter two phone numbers Xiao Wang had used before. One was a public phone near the train station. When the reporter dialed the other number, it was off.
Continuous harassment calls make the rescued family reluctant to answer unfamiliar numbers.
Unexpected fall met with a "living Lei Feng" rescue
Xiao Song and her husband currently live near Xiuyue Street, while her parents still reside in their old home in Jinzhou. More than 40 days ago, Xiao Song's mother, Ms. Zhang, went out shopping and accidentally fell by the roadside. This fall caused Ms. Zhang to have a brain hemorrhage, leaving her unable to move on the side of the road. Fortunately, Xiao Wang, passing by, heard the cries for help and rushed forward to assist.
"At that time, the elderly lady was conscious but not very clear-headed," Xiao Song said. Xiao Wang, along with others on the street, called an ambulance and took Ms. Zhang to a hospital in Jinzhou.
The 57-year-old Ms. Zhang accidentally fell and suffered from brain bleeding, crying for help on the roadside. The passerby Xiao Wang quickly came forward to help, called an ambulance, and sent the elderly woman to the hospital. As Ms. Zhang gradually regained consciousness, she called her daughter Xiao Song to take money and thank Xiao Wang, but Xiao Wang firmly refused to accept it. However, after a week, Ms. Zhang's condition gradually stabilized, and at this point, Xiao Song frequently received calls from Xiao Wang: "Sister, I'm sick, I'm short of cash, you see..." Xiao Song thought that since Xiao Wang saved her mother, she should express gratitude, so she gave him money. Unexpectedly, after a few days, Xiao Wang called again asking for a "thank-you fee." Faced with such a "living Lei Feng," Xiao Song's family was both amused and perplexed.
"Rescuing people is a good deed, but now it has gone sour." Xiao Song believed that nowadays, it is often said that rescuers may not necessarily get good rewards, and it seems that even those who are rescued may not be left alone.
Although Ms. Zhang could not speak, she remembered that Xiao Wang saved her and stayed by her side all along. After being rescued, Ms. Zhang gradually regained consciousness and told Xiao Wang the contact details of her family members. Xiao Wang soon got in touch with Ms. Zhang's husband and daughter.
When Xiao Song arrived at the hospital, Xiao Wang was still accompanying her mother. This made Xiao Song's family extremely moved. "He saved my mother, and we must thank him properly." Xiao Song and her husband wanted to treat Xiao Wang to a meal and give him money as a token of gratitude. However, unexpectedly, the young Xiao Wang knew how to act properly; he declined the invitation from Mr. and Mrs. Xiao Song and refused the "thank-you fee," quietly leaving.
Xiao Song said that about a week later, Xiao Wang proactively called her. Initially, Xiao Wang asked about Ms. Zhang's condition with great concern. After chatting for more than half an hour, Xiao Song told Xiao Wang that she was at work and would call him back later. Just as Xiao Song was about to hang up the phone, Xiao Wang's tone suddenly changed: "Sister, let me be honest with you, I'm sick recently, and I don't have money to see a doctor. Can you...?" Xiao Song immediately understood what Xiao Wang meant. Due to her busy work schedule, she told Xiao Wang that this matter could be negotiated.
