Chapter 1365: 1324 One Family, One Hard-to-Recite Scripture
"It's fine." Zheng Ren didn't mind; that guy could sleep on the street, as long as he didn't hear the Emergency Department's gurney sounds, anywhere would be heaven.
Su Yun handles other miscellaneous matters, Zheng Ren explains the film to Liu Xu zhi.
The road wasn't far either; after over an hour, they arrived at Xilin Town People's Hospital.
The three-story outpatient department, connected to the five-story inpatient department, looked dilapidated. Not to mention 912, it couldn't even compare to Haicheng Shi Yiyuan.
After all, it's a town hospital.
Liu Xu zhi led Zheng Ren and Su Yun into the outpatient building, Xie Yiren linked arms with Zheng Ren, wearing a sweet smile.
Just as they entered, Zheng Ren's steps paused.
A burly woman stood inside the outpatient department's main door, holding a rolling pin, her face fierce.
Several security guards stood to the side, timid and hesitant, apparently not daring to provoke her.
Is this a medical disturbance? It doesn't look like it! Zheng Ren felt somewhat confused.
As he thought that, he felt something off about Liu Xu zhi beside him. Turning his head, he saw Old Liu trembling all over, like sifting chaff.
"Liu Xu zhi, you bastard, aren't you tired of living?" the woman said, single-handedly holding the rolling pin, pointing at Liu Xu zhi, "Today you're getting a divorce from me!"
"Plop—" Liu Xu zhi's legs gave way, and he knelt down directly.
Old Liu is really cowardly, Zheng Ren found it embarrassing. What should be done? The woman opposite seemed to be Liu Xu zhi's lover.
It's their marital affair; better not get involved.
But Old Liu's cowardly demeanor made Zheng Ren unwilling to watch him be beaten to death with a rolling pin in the outpatient department.
He gave Su Yun a look; as long as it's a woman, sending Su Yun out is sure to work.
Su Yun glanced at Zheng Ren, gave a cold smile, blew a breath, his black hair fluttering on his forehead. He didn't go to deal with Liu Xu zhi's wife; instead, he stepped back a few steps and whispered to Chang Yue.
"The passbook I hid in the millet bag—you stole it, you're impressive!" Liu Xu zhi's lover roared, and Zheng Ren felt the whole outpatient department tremble.
"I..." Liu Xu zhi felt guilty, his voice very soft, probably even he couldn't hear it.
"What the hell are you!" the woman said, planting the rolling pin on the ground, shouting, "Act like a man, stand up and get a divorce!"
"After all these years with you, I haven't enjoyed any blessings, saved up some money only for you to steal it—are you keeping a little vixen outside?"
"I'm giving you a chance, damn it, are you even a man!"
A string of curses like a machine gun, "tutu-tu" shot Liu Xu zhi full of holes.
"Old Liu, you're quite something." Zheng Ren quickly admonished in a reproachful tone, his body unintentionally blocking between Liu Xu zhi and his wife.
"I..."
"Money, what did you use it for? If you don't explain clearly today, I'll fucking kill you!"
"Old Liu, how much money?" Zheng Ren was also curious.
Liu Xu zhi this guy actually dared to steal money from home—isn't that courting death? If he needed money, he wouldn't hide it… looking at his wife, he probably couldn't speak openly either.
What did he use the money for? Could it be to receive himself?
Thinking of that, Zheng Ren froze for a moment.
Damn it, Old Liu this coward—do I really need him to host? Whether it's Lin JiaoJiao, Song Ying, or even Zhou Chun Yong, a simple phone call would settle it.
Look at the fuss now.
Really a waste of time.
"Seven thousand four hundred yuan, I..." Liu Xu zhi knelt on the ground, face dejected, head slightly lowered, voice tiny like a mosquito, "I rented a car, booked a hotel for tonight and..."
"Your house can't hold you? You want to go open a room with which little vixen!" Liu Xu zhi's wife waved the rolling pin, shouting.
More and more onlookers gathered, pointing and gossiping. A shrewish wife chasing her husband to the hospital with a rolling pin—this is something the crowd loves to hear.
If they could scrape some skin and see some blood, it would be even better.
Already some youngsters were whistling on the side, stirring up trouble, shouting to finish off Liu Xu zhi.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, calm down." Zheng Ren quickly grabbed the rolling pin, gave a bitter smile, "There are many people here; let's change locations, we'll help you beat him."
"Who are you!" the shrewish wife glared at Zheng Ren, "My Old Liu, what right do you have to hit him?"
Hey!
Zheng Ren laughed.
It's fine.
"We are doctors from 912, we told Old Liu, this money we'll cover ourselves, he insists on being polite." Chang Yue greeted with a smile.
Affability IMAX!
After scolding Liu Xu zhi a few more times, Chang Yue linked arms with Liu Xu zhi's wife and swaggered away.
Xiao Yi Ren glanced at the kneeling Liu Xu zhi, then at the rolling pin and Zheng Ren, stuck out her tongue, and followed Chang Yue with a bright smile.
"For those with looks above eighty, come find me to settle things; Liu Xu zhi's wife is a taken cabbage—what do you mean by asking me to settle this?" Su Yun snapped.
This guy, I don't know if he despises Liu Xu zhi's wife for being ugly or because she's taken; Zheng Ren didn't bother with him, helped Liu Xu zhi up, and said with a smile, "Old Liu, you're being too polite."
"Ah, Boss Zheng." Liu Xu zhi sighed, "You came all this way for the surgery; I know one reason is a doctor's benevolence, another is our fate from Pengxi Township."
Zheng Ren smiled, helped Liu Xu zhi walk out. Sitting on a secluded step outside, he asked Su Yun for a cigarette.
No lighter, Su Yun directly pulled a disposable lighter from Liu Xu zhi's pocket, lit it, tossed the cigarette to Liu Xu zhi, and the lighter fell away.
After two puffs, Liu Xu zhi's mood steadied considerably.
"Boss Zheng, Brother Yun, I know you didn't come for money. If that were the case, you wouldn't have come here. Although you seek nothing, basic hospitality should still be observed." Liu Xu zhi sighed deeply, his face full of worry.
"Old Liu, you still have the spirit to pretend to be fat by swelling your face?" Su Yun laughed loudly, "Sister Lin's car is right behind, she'll arrive tomorrow. What are you fussing about?"
"It's just a token gesture; if I don't do something, I'll feel guilty inside."
"Cut the nonsense, what's going on? A forty-something-year-old doctor, over a few thousand bucks at home… and still, you're dragging a rolling pin to the hospital over me." Su Yun also puzzled, asked: "Old Liu, don't tell me you can't even come up with a hundred thousand."
"My son's about to graduate college—this isn't saving to buy him a house in the south? I've saved my whole life, it's just a down payment." Liu Xu zhi said with a worried frown, "Our hospital here is undergoing reform, people are panicking."
"You have skills, what's there to fear?" Su Yun scoffed.
"Many people are preparing to resign." Liu Xu zhi sighed, saying: "Those who can resign and leave are all skilled old doctors. Going to the south, annual salary of several hundred thousand, better than waiting to die here. Who knows... maybe one day... sigh..."
