?Chapter 195: Chapter 195: The pitiable ones must have their detestable side. Chapter 195: Chapter 195: The pitiable ones must have their detestable side. Bai Xiao arrived at the outpatient building and saw it was just as busy as Head Xing had described, with people crowding the lobby on the first floor.
From a distance, she could hear an old woman’s voice, crying out hoarsely with that unique squalling intonation, rhythmic and melodious as she ranted and raved.
“You must be the Dean, you have got to stand up for us. This Chui Li, she’s not human, look at my granddaughter, only 12 years old, needs to go to school, needs to eat, and she promised to provide the living expenses. When wee to her for the money, she makes all kinds of excuses not to give it, how can she even deserve to be called a mother?
Such a person who doesn’t even want to support her own daughter, you leaders cannot allow someone with such rotten morals to continue bringing harm to others in your medical team. Don’t be fooled by the white coat and her seemingly upright appearance; this woman has a dark heart.”
Bai Xiao shook her head; wasn’t this the kind of scene her grandmother, Li Chunhua, would typically cause?
She had thought that the olddies in this city would make a scene at a different level.
Turns out that making a public fuss was universallymon.
When she squeezed into the crowd, she saw Dean Zhang being helped to lift the olddy up.
Chui Li stood to one side, her face flushed red, the white coat she wore torn, with several buttons missing, her hair disheveled, and even finger marks on her face, it was obvious the olddy had given her quite the ordeal.
All around them, everyone looked at Chui Li with strange gazes; among them were hospital staff, patients seeking treatment, and even soldiers.
Of course, the olddy’s words made everyone view her differently.
“Olddy, please get up first; if you have something to say, we can talk in my office,” Dean Zhang wanted to whisk the olddy away – what was the point of causing such a scene in public, if not to tarnish the hospital’s honor and reputation?
But the olddy was having none of it.
She was nted to the ground like a nail, refusing to get up no matter what.
“Since you’re the Dean, whatever you have to say can be said right here. Once I’m in your office, who knows how you’ll protect your hospital’s staff. Then who will stand up for me, an old woman, and my helpless granddaughter? Let the public witness just how much injustice we, old and young, have suffered.” The olddy was quite adept at leveraging the power of the crowd.
Chui Li had no other choice but to approach, “Please get up first, whatever you have to say, just tell me alone, there’s no need for you to make a scene here in the hospital.” She had anticipated that the olddy and that shameless man woulde to make trouble, but she never expected the olddy to make such a big scene.
She had thought at most the olddy would cause amotion in her department, not start one right in front of the outpatient building.
The young girl pushed Chui Li away, her face full of anger as she pointed at Chui Li and said, “Don’t pretend to be kind here, my dad has been to your door several times asking for living expenses and you refused, just give a clear answer today, do you want to support me, your daughter, or not? If it weren’t for you withholding my living expenses, would my grandmother have had toe here to cause a scene?” The young girl looked at Chui Li as if she were an enemy.
The mother and daughter looked nothing like a mother and daughter should.
Everyone was shocked; the olddy’s actions might not have left the impression of a good person, but her own daughter standing up and saying these things made it hard not to believe the authenticity of the situation.
The olddy was smug, having raised her granddaughter for so many years, of course, she sided with her; it was worth all the badmouthing of the girl’s mother she had done into the granddaughter’s ears.
“Look how she forces her own daughter toe and ask for living expenses, do you even have any shame left? Earning a decent sry every month and yet unwilling to provide for your daughter, let everyone judge for themselves, is there anyone more shameless, a more heartless mother?”
Someone immediately spoke up in support of the olddy and the girl.
“People say that medical workers havepassionate hearts, just look at you, can you even live up to the white coat you wear? If you can’t even support your own daughter, how can you face others and maintain apassionate heart, who would dare toe to you for treatment after this?”
“Exactly, if a person doesn’t have the heart to raise their own daughter, let alone others.”
“She must have done something improper to end up divorced; otherwise, why would a marriage just end like that?”
“Indeed, what kind of heartless mother drags on without taking her child? A normal woman, after getting divorced, would surely take her own flesh and blood with her, afraid of leaving the child to suffer at the hands of a stepmother.”
“You hospital leaders can’t just ignore this, right? Someone like her should be fired.”
“I have a word for your hospital leadership, for such a person with an improper style and such a malicious heart, you absolutely cannot condone her behavior and allow her to sit herefortably making money.”
“Right. If your hospital leaders don’t do something about it, we’re going toin.”
The crowd was agitated, with all eyes quickly turning to Chui Li.
Chui Li was at a loss for words.
Even if she wanted to speak now, no one was willing to listen to her.
Dean Zhang hurriedly waved his hands to signal everyone to calm down.
“Everyone, please calm down. We don’t have the right to speak on this matter until the investigation isplete. As hospital leaders, of course, we will deal with the situation, but please let us rify things before making a decision.”
Dean Zhang said this in all fairness.
But the elderly woman on the ground would not settle for that. She wanted Chui Li to immediately hand over the money to her.
“Dean, howe your words sound like you are trying to cover up? Although she is a doctor at your hospital, you can’t just do such unconscionable things, and your hospital doesn’t stand up for us ordinary people. My goodness, is there no justice left? Aren’t you just going to let my poor granddaughter starve to death?” The elderly woman began to cry again.
Dean Zhang also had no way to deal with the elderly woman.
Bai Xiao watched as everyone pointed fingers at Chui Li, and Chui Li stood there unable to defend herself, frustrated at herck of initiative.
If you yourself won’t stand up and defend yourself, what else do you expect others to say?
There is truth in the saying that the pitiable have faults to despise, and this case was no exception.
She turned to leave, as this was not her business to manage or her kind of idle matter to intervene in.
After all, isn’t it said that every family has their own difficult Scripture to chant, and whoever is guilty should bear their sins?
Bai Xiao had actually been standing next to the elderly woman the whole time. As she turned around, her white coat caught on the elderly woman, who, caught up in her crying, suddenly found a piece of cloth in her hand and began wiping her tears with it.
She didn’t even bother to check whether it was a piece of cloth or someone else’s clothing.
Bai Xiao had just stepped forward when the elderly woman pulled strongly on the coat, wiping her face with it and nearly causing Bai Xiao to stumble and fall.
“Let go.”
That was all Bai Xiao could say.
Suddenly, she and the elderly woman became the focus of everyone’s attention.
Many people saw the elderly woman still holding onto Bai Xiao’s coat corner, desperately wiping her nose with it. The crowd that had been righteous and indignant just a moment ago suddenly burst outughing.
They were amused by this young doctor.
Mainly because of the look of disgust on her face, which made it all the more adorable to watch.
