He kicked the old lady without any hesitation, saying, “Get lost! Sell your misery elsewhere! Don’t disturb our clinic doing business!”
Even the commoners on the street couldn’t stand this barbaric behavior, and Su Yingxue herself rolled up her sleeves. She planned to teach this errand boy a lesson!
She had never been to the new clinic before and was surprised to find such a person working there.
“Don’t use violence! The old lady is naturally heartbroken for her son! Granny, please get up and speak! Don’t worry, our clinic is not unethical.”
A worker in the clinic’s uniform came out to mediate, assisting the old lady and showing great care and consideration in his words and actions.
Su Yingxue’s expression softened slightly. Upon closer inspection, she realized that this person was Lai San.
Lai San helped the old lady to her feet and noticed Su Yingxue in the crowd.
Just as he was about to call someone over, he seemed to hesitate, eventually guiding the old lady to an empty room first.
Su Yingxue entered the clinic and found Manager Qi.
Manager Qi appeared troubled, most likely due to the old lady’s situation. Upon seeing Su Yingxue entering with a somber expression, he whispered, “Miss, did you see what happened at the door just now?”
Su Yingxue nodded and inquired, “Yes, what’s going on?”
Manager Qi sighed and proceeded to provide Su Yingxue with a detailed account of the entire incident.
As Su Yingxue listened, her brow furrowed slightly. She was aware that even though this was a branch of Tongchang Medical Center, Manager Qi was meticulous in ensuring everything was done correctly. However, the death of the old lady’s son was quite suspicious.
The son had been suffering from tuberculosis, a potentially life-threatening illness. Yet, he had been under treatment for many years, and upon coming to Tongchang Medical Center, he passed away after taking just one dose of medicine.
With no evidence from the deceased, the old lady brought her only grandson to the clinic’s entrance every day, wailing in misery.
Even Manager Qi couldn’t come up with a solution. The worker who had kicked the old lady seemed to have grown weary of her constant cries, which led to him pushing her away.
After a moment of contemplation, Su Yingxue said, “First, let’s address the issue with that worker. Deduct his monthly salary and assign him to handle the transportation of medicinal herbs. If any similar incidents occur in the future regarding patients, we will expel him from the clinic. Tongchang Medical Center cannot tolerate such brutality.”
Manager Qi nodded and agreed, “Yes, I share responsibility for this matter. 1 will also have my salary halved this month.”
Su Yingxue couldn’t help but smile with a touch of helplessness and added, “For now, let’s set aside discussions about your salary. First, let’s consider how to resolve the situation with the old lady. Her only son has passed away, and now she only has her grandson left. She is likely to cause disturbances at the clinic.”
Manager Qi sighed in front of Su Yingxue. Recognizing that they needed to address the issue at its root, Su Yingxue decided to visit and speak with the old lady.
However, the old lady was exceptionally stubborn. She clung to her five or six-year-old grandson, wiping her tears, and declared, “If you don’t compensate me, 1 won’t leave even if 1 die! You’re the ones who killed my son!”
Su Yingxue reassured her, saying, “Grandma, Tongchang Medical Center never causes harm to patients. Could you please tell me where your son’s body is? 1 need to perform a thorough examination to determine the cause of his death.”
However, the old lady reacted as though she had been electrocuted. She stared fiercely at Su Yingxue and declared, “You’ve killed my son! You won’t even leave his corpse in peace! No, 1 won’t allow it! You can’t disturb my son’s rest.”
Su Yingxue narrowed her eyes, sensing that something was amiss with the old lady. She tried to reason with her, saying, “Grandma, if you won’t allow me to examine the body, I won’t be able to determine the cause of your son’s death. Without this information, our clinic won’t be able to address the compensation issue, which wouldn’t be in your best interest..”
