Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 479 I have it, I am here

Qinglang lowered her head, unable to lift it, because the woman poked her.

Zhiyuan, with his sharp eyes, noticed the dampness dripping from Qinglang's worn-out cloth shoes.

Zhiyuan's expression immediately changed, and he demanded, "Who are you people?"

Qingtian had somehow walked up to her brother's side. Hearing this, her eyes were filled with timidity as she whispered to Zhiyuan, "She's my aunt."

Upon hearing this, Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Oh? Aunt, are you here to pay for Aunt's medical bills?"

Upon hearing this, the woman's face changed. "Where did this brat come from, spouting such nonsense? I didn't hit him, why should I pay medical bills?"

Qingtian had been wiping away tears and hadn't dared to speak, but now, she suddenly found the courage to reply in a trembling voice, "But if we can't find the person who hit you, will Mother just not help you?"

"You stupid girl!" the woman scolded her. "Why don't you just stay in the hospital and refuse to leave? You'll run away once the doctor has cured you!"

Qingtian's eyes widened. "Then...then the hospital...the hospital...didn't it suffer a loss?"

"Hmph, what loss does the hospital have? Doctors are there to heal the sick. Don't your textbooks say that doctors save lives and heal the wounded? Charging money for saving lives? That's immoral!" The woman rolled her eyes and said.

Just then, a nurse came in to change the IV fluids. Upon hearing this, she became furious. "This is not how you say it, family member of the patient!"

"What do you mean? Your hospital is corrupt, you take dirty money!" the woman shouted. "What? You want to argue with me again? You're going to insult patients? Will you take responsibility if something happens?"

The nurse was speechless after being scolded by her, and left after changing the dressing, feeling very angry.

Qinglang was more sensible, and fearing that his aunt's scolding would offend the nurses and the hospital, especially since his mother was still there receiving treatment, he quickly followed her out and apologized to the nurses.

He even assured the nurse, "I...I will find a way to pay my mother's medical bills. Whether or not the person who assaulted her is caught, we will not delay payment."

Since last night, the nurse had noticed that only a few children were taking care of this patient, and she couldn't bear it. She sighed, "Where is your father?"

Qinglang's expression darkened.

The nurse didn't say anything more. "Don't worry, even if we're angry, we won't be prejudiced against patients. It's basic professional ethics."

"Thank you, nurse." Qinglang lowered her head and turned back to the ward.

In the ward, Qinglang's uncle and aunt were still arguing incessantly. Qinglang felt her head was about to explode from all the noise. Even the other patients in the ward were complaining. She told them to go outside and argue, but instead, she got a scolding from her two aunts. No one could out-argue them.

Qinglang could only step forward and say, "Uncle, Aunt, we understand. You can go now."

They just don't want him to pay his medical bills. You know, if they don't lend him money, where will he get the money to pay his medical bills?

Thinking about this made him feel aggrieved.

His mother was always so good to his two uncles. Whenever they wanted fish, they could just come to the stall and take it. She would also give them money and things from time to time. She arranged for both of his uncles to get married, and she paid for it all. If she hadn't always been helping his two uncles, his family wouldn't have been unable to afford anything when his mother was seriously injured. It was just that last time his eldest uncle wanted to build a new house, his mother gave him a large sum of money. Later, his younger uncle was dissatisfied and made a fuss, wanting to build a new house as well. In order to be fair to both of them, his mother had no choice but to give him money again.

Unexpectedly, now that his mother is so badly injured and needs money, they refuse to lend him any.

That's right, he was just borrowing it!
