"Why are you still awake and restless in the middle of the night!" Li Pengcheng saw his wife, Gao Juan, tossing and turning and couldn’t help but growl in annoyance.
"I’m just furious inside." Unable to fall asleep, Gao Juan simply got up and turned on the light.
"What’s wrong now?"
"It’s all because of Ye Chan."
"Haven’t we settled that issue? Why keep bringing her up?"
"How can I not ntion her, our son still hasn’t completely gotten over that relationship, and there’s Ye Chan, living it up every day. Recently because of her, our daughter and Gu Mingshen have had a falling out. She’s like a jinx, only here to bring misfortune upon our family." Gao Juan beca inflad with anger just talking about it.
"What happened between our daughter and Mingshen? Weren’t they doing well before?" Li Pengcheng was surprised to hear that there were problems between his daughter and Gu Mingshen, and he sat up in alarm.
"That day, Xinyi and Mingshen ran into Ye Chan at a restaurant. I don’t know what she said, but since that day, Mingshen has been distant from our daughter. You know our daughter’s temperant; she has never had ill intentions. Isn’t this that woman’s deliberate revenge?"
"Mingshen is a sensible person, how could he be deceived by Ye Chan? And I don’t think Ye Chan is that kind of person, could there be so misunderstanding?"
"Misunderstanding?" Gao Juan’s voice rose sharply, "What misunderstanding could there be? No, I must think of a way to teach Ye Chan a lesson, otherwise, she’ll be completely out of control."
Li Pengcheng frowned at his wife’s tone: "Don’t act rashly, we live in a society governed by law."
"I know, I have my limits," Gao Juan snorted softly, already having a plan in mind. She heard that Ye Chan’s father, Ye Qiu, has now opened a small clinic? What do people providing dical treatnt fear the most? They fear a bad reputation. Since I can’t do anything illegal, let’s give him a lesson instead.
The next day confird that Gao Juan indeed had no sense of asure, as Doctor Ye decisively called the police upon seeing the two troublemakers.
"You said you’ve been treated here by Brother Ye? Then how co I have never seen you?"
"You claim there was sothing wrong with the dicine, so where’s the remaining dicine?"
"Old lady, slander is a cri that can land you in prison, you better think this through."
Before Doctor Ye could speak, the neighborhood residents, one by one, began to question aggressively. They were elderly and had seen it all; it was clear that these people were scamrs.
And besides, Brother Ye’s dical skills are the best around. Whenever soone in the surrounding area has a headache or a fever, he just gives a couple of needles or prescribes a dose of dicine, and they recover; it’s only a few dollars’ affair, much more convenient and faster than going to a big hospital. And for those families in poor conditions, Brother Ye even provides treatnt for free. Now you’re telling that such a person scamd your money and misdiagnosed the illness? What a joke!
"What are you all doing? Bullying with power?" The old lady stepped back in fear as she was being questioned by the crowd, but, recalling the red envelope she received, she blustered again, "What, is it not allowed to seek redress for a dical misdiagnosis? My husband is still lying in the hospital now!"
"Everyone, please calm down. Let’s wait for the police to arrive, then we can sort out right and wrong," Dr. Ye said with a smile, showing not a hint of fear.
Seeing Dr. Ye’s confidence, the onlookers felt reassured and watched the old lady as if watching a joke.
The old lady was a bit stunned; why was the situation so different from what she had expected?
Normally, if there was a fuss, shouldn’t doctors be very flustered? And what’s with the patients and onlookers - why aren’t they worried about their own problems? Why are they defending the doctor instead?
Actually, the old lady was a professional scam artist. Due to her old age and superior acting skills, she had extorted more than one person. She was well aware that as long as the amount extorted wasn’t too large and the situation wasn’t too serious, most people would not co down hard on an old lady like her. After all, if sothing happened during a dispute, others would be the unlucky ones.
Yesterday when that noblewoman ca to my door, the Old Lady was overjoyed. Isn’t it just about causing trouble? She’s too good at it; maybe she could even get paid twice!
But the situation turned out to be beyond her expectations. What kind of people are these? Do the citizens not hate doctors anymore?
"What are you doing? You think you can deny it? Let tell you, this old lady ain’t so easy to bully." Saying this, the Old Lady was about to barge into the small clinic, but then she was surrounded by a circle of neighbors.
Humph, they are all elderly n and won, almost the sa age. Don’t think they can’t see through this Old Lady’s intentions. Want to smash the place? It depends if they are willing to let her or not?
"Sister, I advise you to behave yourself before the police arrive. We are all old folks here, and the police won’t give anyone special treatnt."
"What, trying to smash up the place? Don’t make excuses, do you think I can’t see through your little sches?"
Two old neighbors said mockingly to the Old Lady.
"This is illegal detention, let out," the Old Lady yelled in frustration.
"Oh, look who knows about illegal detention? Then do you know what you’re doing right now? Deliberately causing trouble and disrupting public order, plus ’peng ci’ (a scam involving feigning injury from being struck). You could go to jail for that."
"Who are you fooling? I am the victim!" the Old Lady retorted righteously.
"Fine, you’re the victim. You can tell the police when they get here and bring out the evidence." The crowd didn’t bother to argue with her, nor did they let her out, just surrounding her, and for the mont the Old Lady really had no way out.
"Oh no, people are bullying ; Qiuchan Clinic is bullying an Old Lady now." Seeing that things were not going her way, the Old Lady imdiately sat down on the ground and started throwing a tantrum.
"Quick, Old Deng, support , her voice is too loud, my heart condition is about to flare up." The person speaking was none other than Old Man Zhou, who had been saved by Ye Qiu before, but right now he looked calm and collected, not at all like soone suffering from a heart attack.
Old Deng really pretended to support Old Man Zhou, eliciting a burst of laughter from around.
Ye Qiu felt warmth in his heart, thinking that it is still worth it to be a good person!
"What’s going on here? Who called the police?" When everyone was in an uproar, the police arrived.
"It was , officer. Soone is making a scene at my clinic." Ye Qiu pushed through the crowd and stepped forward to speak.
"Are you Doctor Ye? Are you alright?" An older police officer and a younger one asked concernedly.
The Old Lady beca anxious in an instant. She was already in the wrong to begin with, and now it seed like the people from the clinic were old acquaintances of the police? Why didn’t that person tell her beforehand that this clinic had connections? Now she was in trouble.
"I’m fine, just hoping you can investigate clearly to prevent soone from ruining my reputation for no reason. Because of this Old Sister here, my clinic still hasn’t opened for the day," Ye Qiu said helplessly, shrugging his shoulders.
"Was it you causing a scene?" Hearing his words, the older officer turned his attention towards the Old Lady, frowning imdiately.
The Old Lady’s gaze was shifty, and her eyes were rolling about. Clearly, this wasn’t her first ti doing this kind of thing.
Humph! It’s because of people like this that everyone is becoming more and more apathetic. Truly a degradation of social morals.
