Chapter 862 - 862 Becoming a Fool
862 Becoming a Fool
“If you want treatment, then let us do our job. If not, go somewhere else! Don’t cause trouble here!” the doctor roared as he pointed at Old Madam Fan.
“Treat my son!” Old Madam Fan shouted at the top of her lungs.
The police officer could not do anything about Old Madam Fan and could only say to the doctor, “Please just treat this patient.”
The doctor shook the dust off his clothes impatiently and took the things from the nurse, telling her to go back to the ward and take care of the other patients first.
He slowly wiped the dust off the wounds on Su Yang’s face and disinfected them properly before applying medicine. As these were just superficial injuries, there was no need for bandages.
If the wounds were bandaged, it would not be conducive to the healing. As long as the medicine was applied on time every day, the wounds would recover.
It was certain that there would be scars on the face. In any case, Su Yang was not very good-looking, so it did not matter if there were scars or not.
Xia He did not intend to pursue the matter of compensation with Old Madam Fan. She just wanted Old Madam Fan to stop disrupting their lives in the future. They all lived in the same area, only two streets apart. When Li Gui went to set up a stall at the train station during the day, Old Madam Fan even brought people along with her to look for Li Gui.
They really did not have the time to handle all these. The children at home still had to go about their lives.
As usual, they handed this matter over to the police. It was already late and they had to go back early. Zhang Qin and Zhang Miao were still at home alone!
“You want to leave! No way!” Old Madam Fan quickly blocked Xia He’s path.
She clearly saw that Xia He did not pay the clinic a single cent. Could it be that Xia He wanted to simply go off and leave her to fork out the money herself!
She did not care much about most things, but when it came to money, she would not lose a single cent!
“Let’s talk at the police station tomorrow. We’re going back now,” Xia He said with a frown.
The people at the clinic knew her family. At the end of each month, they would go to the Xia family’s house to settle the medical costs. Xia Jun would visit this clinic if he had any illnesses like headaches or fever.
Old Madam Fan still refused to give up. She stopped Xia He and said, “My son was beaten up by you just like that. Don’t you need to bear any responsibility at all? Give me money quickly!”
“Didn’t you beat up my younger brother first? Shouldn’t you be the one to give us money?” Before Old Madam Fan could react, Xia He continued, “Isn’t the rule supposed to be whoever makes the first move needs to fork out the money?”
She had heard about this argument from Xia Wen. At that time, Xia Wen had treated it as a joke and came back to tell Xia He about it.
Old Madam Fan was stunned on the spot. Why did this sentence sound so familiar? The two police officers were also snickering at the side. They did not expect anyone to be able to subdue Old Madam Fan. They had been mediating among the neighbors for so many years and Old Madam Fan had always been a problematic source of trouble for them.
“Then you have to pay for my son! You hit my son! You have to pay!” Old Madam Fan said.
Xia He pointed at Zhang Wei’s head and asked, “Then how do you plan to settle the issue of my younger brother’s wound? You should compensate us as well. So should we compensate each other?”
Old Madam Fan had yet to realize the severity of the matter. How much would it cost for a child to get stitches? It was probably about 10 dollars.
“Alright!” Old Madam Fan said.
Xia He turned around and asked the doctor, “Did you just say that there will be aftereffects from the injuries on my brother’s head?”
The doctor stammered, “Ah… yes! There’s such a possibility!”
Old Madam Fan pointed at the doctor in exasperation and said, “You’re in cahoots! This child looks so lively, how can there be anything wrong with him!”
Zhang Wei and Xia He looked at each other and quickly understood what each other was thinking. Zhang Wei held his head like he was in discomfort and slowly leaned against Xia He, whimpering from time to time.
“Look! My younger brother is already in so much pain! What if it affects his intelligence in the future! My younger brother is only 12 years old! Is he going to be a fool for the rest of his life!” Xia He said tearfully.
Zhang Wei echoed, “Oh my~ It hurts~ My head is so dizzy~ I’m going to die~”
In the past, Old Madam Fan had often used this method to deal with others. Now that someone else was using it on her, she finally knew how discomforting it was.
“Then my son’s face is also ruined! You have to compensate us too!” Old Madam Fan said as she held onto Su Yang.
