Chapter 309: Chapter 310: Want to Drive Away Lin Shuangqiao Chapter 309: Chapter 310: Want to Drive Away Lin Shuangqiao Back at Anji Hall, Shao He questioned, “Do you realize that your actions today nearly took a life, sothing I’ve taught you before!”
“I simply picked up the handle of the knife without thinking, I’ll pay more attention next ti.”
Lin Shuangqiao was extrely displeased with her bringing up the matter again, especially since she had already scolded her in the delivery room, wondering why she had to ntion it again upon their return.
Seeing her dismissive attitude, Shao He said once more, “You think this is a trivial matter, but do you understand what the consequences would have been if I hadn’t been vigilant?”
“Moreover, why didn’t you ask if you didn’t know? The vernix is there to protect the child, and if you wipe it off, it can harm their body.”
“It’s just a thin mbrane, what kind of protection can it offer? You’re just being alarmist,” Lin Shuangqiao muttered under her breath.
“You have no realization of your mistake.”
“I’m sorry, I was wrong,” Lin Shuangqiao apologized insincerely, but in her heart, she didn’t think it was a big deal.
Shao He, feeling her attitude, shook her head in disappointnt. After observing her behavior over this period, she knew Lin Shuangqiao had always been trying to please Yun Qian and felt she had things on her mind; she didn’t want to keep soone like that around any longer.
Fearing Lin Shuangqiao might do sothing irrevocable, she said, “I can’t teach soone like you anymore. You have been well-compensated for your ti here, why not find work elsewhere?”
Lin Shuangqiao never expected to be sent away, and after a mont of stunned silence, she fell to her knees with a “thump,” clutching the hem of Shao He’s dress and pleading, “Please, Doctor Shao, don’t send away.”
Shao He pushed her hand away, her voice filled with extre disappointnt, “I have already given you no less than two chances, it’s you who didn’t value them. There’s no need for you to stay if you don’t appreciate working as my assistant.”
“No, it isn’t.”
Lin Shuangqiao shook her head vehently, her hands pressed to the ground, and she kowtowed with a thud, “Doctor Shao, please don’t send away. Please, isn’t there any compassion in you?”
The surrounding townsfolk, not understanding the situation, couldn’t help but condemn Shao He, whispering to each other, “Doctor Shao is too heartless. It wouldn’t hurt to let a woman stay at the dical hall; why drive her away?”
“Yes, we are all won; why make things difficult for each other?”
Shao He ignored their comnts, knowing that these people were simply going along with the crowd, unaware of the actual situation.
In the back courtyard, Yun Qian heard the commotion and ca out to see. Upon seeing him, Lin Shuangqiao cried pitifully and knelt before him, begging, “Doctor Yun, please give a place to stay.”
Unfortunately, Yun Qian had no inclination to pity or spare her and walked straight up to Shao He, his voice cold as he said, “It was Doctor Shao who kept you here at first, and now if she wants to send you away, of course, I will stand by her decision.”
Because he believed that Shao He wouldn’t do such a thing without good reason, sothing must have happened.
The townsfolk turned their attention back to Shao He, who said without rcy, “The reason for sending you away is twofold: you don’t follow the rules, and you won’t admit your mistakes. You must understand that your position here is critical, even a servant boy in the pharmacy is very important.”
“A wrong herb could kill soone, and you don’t take any of this to heart.”
“No, that’s not true; I know I made a mistake. Please give one more chance,” Lin Shuangqiao pleaded, not expecting Shao He to be so ruthless and unforgiving, begging repeatedly.
Those around couldn’t help but intercede on her behalf, “Doctor Shao, this woman is pitiful enough; why not forgive her this ti? I believe she will be careful in the future.”
“Yes, Doctor Shao, she’s a poor girl and doesn’t deserve this level of harshness.”
“Right, it’s not like she poses any threat to you.”
As the townspeople’s comnts grew more unsavory, Yun Qian could not bear it any longer and stepped forward, “Taking you in is a favor; not taking you in is also not wrong. dical practice must be pursued with perseverance. What if her mistake costs soone their life? Could any of you bear that responsibility?”
Hearing that her mistake could cost a life, the townsfolk quickly fell silent, and so even began to condemn Lin Shuangqiao.
“Doctor Shao kindly took you in, and you should do your job well.”
“Exactly, even a single wrong prescription can kill, how can you act like this?”
Seeing the tide of public opinion turn, Lin Shuangqiao knew playing the victim was useless and could only make excuses about the child she lost.
“I’ve been distraught recently because I keep dreaming about the child who died. I know I’ve caused trouble for Doctor Shao, and I’m truly sorry.” At this point, Lin Shuangqiao cried uncontrollably.
“But please, could you give one more chance? I will adjust my attitude and won’t make such a mistake again. Please, just one more chance,” she begged.
Lin Shuangqiao knelt on the ground, continuously kowtowing until her forehead bled without stopping.
Shao He ca forward to stop her, but she grabbed her hand, “Please, Doctor Shao, just one more chance. I really won’t make the sa mistake again, just one last opportunity, please!”
Seeing her like this, Shao He’s heart softened at last, she agreed to let her stay on, but only to do so nial tasks for now, to see how she would perform.
The woman was overjoyed on hearing this, grateful just to be able to stay.
