The conversation in the office continued, Cheng Yufen tried to persuade with so difficulty, "Elder sister-in-law, my patients are all ordinary folks, how can they have the connections to get a radio? Haven’t I already given you the industrial ticket? Let’s wait and we will eventually get it."
"Yu Fen, I don’t like what you’re saying. If it’s about waiting, why would I even co to you? It’s not to criticize you, Yu Fen, but back then your father-in-law and mother-in-law let you, a girl, go to school, and your brother supported you wholeheartedly. Now you’re living well, earning a salary every month, but look at your brother, that useless man, his son is getting married and can’t even secure a radio, isn’t that a joke?"
Cheng Yufen’s face filled with anger, over the years, how much she had helped her family, building hos and supporting the elderly, all was her money spent. Now even her nephew’s wedding costs fell on her, and money alone wasn’t enough, she had to et all their demands, she had had enough.
"Elder sister-in-law, I’m also busy here, I won’t host you anymore. I can’t help with Cheng Yuan’s matter, please don’t co here again."
"What? You can’t help? Cheng Yufen, don’t give this routine. The whole county knows about your reputation as a miraculous gynecologist. Now that you have a good life, you want to leave our Cheng Family behind and live a carefree life, that won’t do, I’m telling you, you have to resolve this matter today, whether you want to or not, otherwise I won’t be leaving."
The doctors and patients walking around were drawn to the commotion and gathered at the doorway, and colleagues of Cheng Yufen at the hospital ca over to diate.
"Oh, elder sister-in-law, we are all family, why start a quarrel? Dr. Cheng has always cared about her family all these years, we shouldn’t say things that hurt our relationship, right?"
"That’s right, Dr. Cheng is just a doctor, she can’t control the Cooperative Society, and besides, even the leaders of the County Governnt have to wait for the goods; this is a hospital, why don’t we talk at ho, elder sister-in-law?"
Seeing everyone siding with her, Wang Jine sat on the ground, vigorously slapping her thighs.
"Oh dear, the hospital is bullying us! Our Cheng Family has supported a great doctor by scrimping and saving, and now she doesn’t care about us anymore, you’re just a thankless wolf, and Cheng Yufen, that’s your own nephew, how can you watch him unable to get married, how can you be so cruel!"
Cheng Yufen trembled with rage. She had always been gentle and never quarreled with anyone. Her sister-in-law used to be so kind to her, but the mont she didn’t et her expectations, she would start throwing tantrums. Thinking about her husband and children who suffered because of her, she was determined not to be manipulated anymore.
"I am the thankless wolf then, originally I can’t manage this matter. I treat patients in hospital fairly and have never harbored selfish intentions or asked patients for anything. Stop making unreasonable demands. Even if you don’t mind disgracing yourself, think about Cheng Yuan at least."
Upon hearing this, Wang Jine suddenly stood up, raised her hand, and was about to hit Cheng Yufen,
"You thankless, rotten-hearted wretch, you just can’t bear to see our family do well, if my son can’t get married, then don’t expect to be well yourself, you heartless thing, disgusting!"
Such harsh words were not only t with frowns from the hospital doctors but also murmurs from the onlooking patients; they all knew what Dr. Cheng was like—her sister-in-law was clearly taking too much advantage.
Shen ng had escorted Xie Jinghao and the children to the bullock cart at the entrance, and by the ti she turned back, she witnessed a full-blown drama. She didn’t get involved imdiately, naturally, waiting for it to turn ugly to step in; pushing oneself forward is never a good deal.
Cheng Yufen, being in a delicate situation, encountering the problem-solving Shen ng made her truly grateful, for who doesn’t have their monts of distress? Having a doctor as a friend, especially one with connections, would be beneficial in any future endeavors.
"Dr. Cheng, what happened here?"
"Ah, you’re here to see Dr. Cheng for treatnt too? Let tell you... blah blah blah... and then... blah blah blah..."
Shen ng suddenly realized and nodded, "Now I understand, I actually have a solution."
Wang Jine, who was jumping up and down, imdiately turned her attention to Shen ng, and her fierce expression softened a lot.
"My dear, you really have a way? You better not be fooling to help this ingrate, I’m not easily deceived!"
Cheng Yufen was anxious. She had never thought of taking advantage of patients or their families, which went against her dical ethics. Her previous hospital had so corrupt doctors who wanted to drag her down with them, which disgusted her, so she chose to return to her hotown. All these years, she had never done anything to betray her conscience, and now, in front of so many people, it was even less possible for her to ruin her reputation.
"Comrade, thank you for your kindness, but I have my own considerations. As a doctor, I cannot take advantage of patients and their families, I hope you can understand."
"Cheng Yufen, just shut up. This was the young lady’s idea, what does it have to do with you? Don’t be so eager to make yourself look good, nobody cares."
Wang Jine broke free from the people supporting her and happily approached Shen ng.
"Is what you just said true? Do you really have a way to get a radio?"
Saying this in front of so many people was really foolish. If soone motivated, like Shen ng’s leader or a troublemaker, heard it, they would definitely grasp the chance to report Shen ng for speculating and profiteering.
"Elder sister-in-law, you should not say that. Buying a radio definitely requires lining up according to regulations. I said I could solve it because I have a radio, and I can give it up. Your family is hosting a celebration, it wouldn’t be good to trouble Dr. Cheng too much. We’re all relatives, causing too much embarrassnt isn’t good, is it?"
Wang Jine, cunning as she was, listened to Shen ng’s words, imdiately turned around, grabbed Cheng Yufen’s hand, apologized, and spoke pleasantly. Shen ng couldn’t help but click her tongue in wonder, sotis she admired such people, who could always swallow their pride.
"Yu Fen, it was all my fault. I apologize. This isn’t the place to talk. Let’s go, go, go to your office and talk. Young lady, you co too, hehe. Let’s have a good chat about the radios."
"Alright!" Shen ng replied cheerily.
Only Cheng Yufen had a bitter expression. Despite her reluctance, she didn’t want to be the subject of ridicule. Several good-hearted doctors and nurses helped disperse the crowd and closed the office door for the three of them.
Shen ng walked around the office, then casually sat down on Dr. Cheng’s chair, startling the other two.
