Chapter 979: Loophole
Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon
Zhu Lin imdiately felt sowhat guilty when she was stared at by Fangzheng. She looked to the side and stared at the ceiling of the pavilion, stuttering. “I… was… by the side…”
“Were you the one who knocked on my head?” Fangzheng asked.
Zhu Lin nodded in embarrassnt. “I only knocked it once!”
Fangzheng was instantly rendered speechless. This lass had indeed attacked him. However, the person who puzzled Fangzheng the most was the a**hole who had touched his buttocks. Using his Dharma Eye, he confird that Zhu Lin had indeed only struck him on the head.
Anyway, his puzzlent quickly dispersed. It was all in the past, and it was pointless thinking about it now. However, Fangzheng secretly made a decision. He definitely wouldn’t risk it anymore in the future! Those people were too terrifying.
“Abbot Fangzheng, I’m really impressed with you. You are already so famous, yet you still dare to wander around without a bodyguard. Look at . Although I’m not that famous, I still have to bring a bodyguard along when eting with fans. It’s simply to prevent any worst case scenarios. Besides, people these days lack moral integrity. They dare to do anything once there’s a lot of people.” Zhu Lin stretched her back, but because of her down jacket, nothing could be seen. However, her chest stood out, making it easy for one to start imagining things.
Thankfully Fangzheng, who knew that he had no hope of renouncing asceticism any ti soon, unknowingly no longer paid attention to such matters so as to prevent adding to his troubles. The first thing that ca to his mind was the first ti he t Zhu Lin, when she was wearing shorts in a cold winter day. Her legs were so cold they turned red…
Upon hearing Zhu Lin’s question, Fangzheng shook his head helplessly and said, “This Penniless Monk thought that it would be fine with female patrons everywhere…”
Zhu Lin rolled her eyes. “You don’t understand won these days. They are even fiercer when it cos to being sexually proactive. n easily get imprisoned if they do such things, but it’s mostly fine for won, so they can be that bold.”
If this were before, Fangzheng wouldn’t have agreed with her, but having had the experience, all he could do was desperately nod. Those won were crazy! If not for his White Lunar Monk Robe being sufficiently strong, he suspected that he might only have had a pair of briefs on him by the ti he escaped…
When Fangzheng asked Zhu Lin’s reason for coming, her eyes instantly darkened. She sighed and said, “My mom has cataracts, and it’s not the normal kind. The doctors said that she has other problems too, and all of them add up to a lot of money. Although I can earn quite a tidy sum of money streaming, my expenses are high as well. I don’t have much savings. I was roped in to film so movies, but they were low budget and not as lucrative as streaming. Where am I to suddenly get all that money to treat her?
“I tried to borrow money, but many of my friends from before disappeared just like that.”
Upon saying this, Zhu Lin let out a long sigh as though she was sighing an entire century. It was obvious how much it weighed on her mind.
Fangzheng could understand this. In the past, he had friends all over, but none of them were to be found when problems appeared. That feeling was as though everyone around him beca a cheat overnight. The world was huge, but there was no one to rely on. Heavy like a mountain, this feeling often crushed countless people to death.
Zhu Lin continued. “I originally planned on selling my house. Although it’s a house in the villages, it should get sold for ten to twenty thousand yuan. I also have so savings that could add up to enough for the operation. Sigh, I thought the first half of my life had all been for nothing…”
Upon saying that, Zhu Lin suddenly bead. “However, when I heard the news about your event and how there are nurous doctors gathered at the foot of your mountain to provide free treatnt, I ca.”
“Amitabha, so that’s the case.” Fangzheng couldn’t help but recall the gentle woman who waited daily by the village entrance for her daughter’s return back when he stayed at Zhu Lin’s house for the night on his trip to Baiyun Monastery. Back then, her sight had already been a bit bad, and now, she had developed further problems.
At the sa ti, Fangzheng discovered that the event he organized could really help many people. He couldn’t help but feel relieved.
Fangzheng asked, “Then how’s your mother’s condition?”
Zhu Lin smiled. “I originally wanted to get a doctor from Putian Hospital, but when the doctor saw that my mom required surgery, he completely ignored us because he found it troubleso. Thankfully, your hospital from Songwu County attended to us. However, they asked us to wait two days. They said that they are competing for points during these two days, but they can take her back to the hospital after that. To be honest, I’ve never seen such a good doctor…”
Upon saying that, Zhu Lin smiled sweetly.
Fangzheng frowned imdiately. If Zhu Lin hadn’t ntioned it, he wouldn’t have realized that there were any loopholes in his rules. Now, he imdiately knew what the loophole was. Many people would definitely take the minor cases to gather points and not the major cases. They wanted fast treatnt and nothing that would be troubleso to treat!
With this in mind, Fangzheng imdiately got up and said, “Patron Zhu, if your mother’s condition requires further attention, you can bring her up the mountain at any ti. This Penniless Monk will help treat her. In addition, what you said is indeed a problem. This Penniless Monk will need to resolve it, or their actions will only spoil This Penniless Monk’s original intentions.”
With that said, Fangzheng bade her farewell.
Zhu Lin also understood what he ant. She nodded and said, “I support you. Go for it! If you get surrounded again, just shout that a man is in labor and you need to help him give birth! It’s useful!”
Fangzheng rolled his eyes at her.
He went directly back to the mountain and got Salted Fish to contact Red Boy. He added a rule that no one was to pick their patients; otherwise, they would be disqualified. At the sa ti, he called Wang Yougui and got him to check on Putian Hospital without alerting them.
Wang Yougui wasn’t too sure why when he first heard it, but after asking, he realized that Putian Hospital was really picking its patients. How could they do that? However, he was puzzled why these people were not imdiately disqualified. Why was Fangzheng becoming indecisive?
Nonetheless, Wang Yougui didn’t probe further. He wasn’t worried when it ca to Fangzheng. Hence, he imdiately rushed over and soon discovered that the doctors at Putian Hospital delegated their jobs well. One doctor would do the consultation while another would prepare the dicine. The others would be outside roping in patients. All of them would promise the heavens and say how impressive they were, just short of saying they would have Fangzheng treat them in person.
Indeed, patients who weren’t aware of the truth were pulled over.
Wang Yougui discovered that not only were they soliciting patients, they were also denying patients. People who wished to get a consultation when they saw Putian Hospital’s signboard would have soone stop them and question them about their condition first. Once they heard that it was a serious or troubleso illness or sothing that required surgery, they would imdiately chase the patient away!
Upon seeing this, Wang Yougui fud with anger. What had happened to their dical ethics as doctors?
