Chapter 135 Can I become your disciple?
Doctor Li is not young anymore, his hair is grey, and you can see the emotional fluctuations in his eyes, but as a doctor who has been treating patients for so many years, he is used to life and death.
But every time a patient died in front of him, he couldn't help but feel sad, especially... such a young child.
Doctor Chen turned his head away, deliberately not looking, and instead looked at other patients.
The man sat dejectedly on the ground, his eyes dull and his face ashen.
The middle-aged woman looked dazed, looking at the quiet child in her arms, and murmured, "Dead, just like that? If I had known, I would have sold that money-losing thing. Who knows, it might be able to give birth to another child..."
As soon as these words came out, the man suddenly came back to his senses, stood up abruptly, and looked at his mother in disbelief: "Mom, what do you mean by selling the money-losing goods? Didn't you say Lingling died of dystocia? Did you sell her?"
The middle-aged woman came to her senses and said, "What did I say? That unfilial little bitch is dead. You heard it wrong."
The man shouted, "I heard it clearly, Mom, why did you do this?"
The middle-aged woman was forced into a corner and decided not to hide it anymore and spoke directly.
"I'll sell her, why are you complaining? I'm your mother! You go out to work, and the little you earn every month is enough for the family. Besides, she has been in poor health since she gave birth. She can't work in the fields, and she has no milk. Do I have to pay for her medical treatment? You're dreaming. I have no choice but to sell her, otherwise my eldest grandson and I would have starved to death long ago."
The man clenched his fists in anger.
It can be seen that if the woman in front of him was not his mother, he would definitely beat her to death!
Bai Wei listened to the conversation between the two, her eyes were full of coldness, and she said: "Give me the child, I can save him!"
She never thought that she would run into such a weird thing, but she was not in the mood to uphold justice now, because what she was most worried about was the child in the middle-aged woman's hands, the child was innocent.
The middle-aged woman finally came to her senses. The sadness in her eyes just now disappeared in an instant, replaced by a trace of greed: "It's you, it's you who knocked over the medicine bowl and killed my eldest grandson. If it weren't for you, my eldest grandson would have been saved by Doctor Li and would be alive and well. You have to pay me money, pay me money!"
As soon as the middle-aged woman said this, the emotions of the patients around her who had milder symptoms were also aroused.
Because this morning, they suffered a lot from these so-called aristocratic families.
So when the middle-aged woman yelled at Bai Wei, they also wanted to join in.
"Yes, it's all your fault. You delayed Niu'er's treatment and killed her!"
"You're right. What's the point of paying her money? She should pay with her life!"
"Not only do you, the eldest daughter of a wealthy family, not only do you not treat us as human beings, but you also deliberately delayed Niu'er's treatment. You deserve to die!"
"..."
The middle-aged woman stretched out her left hand and said, "Ten taels, no, fifty taels! If you don't have fifty taels, don't even think about settling this matter. We are not afraid even if we take it to the government."
Bai Wei frowned and looked at the person in front of her coldly: "I'll say it again, give me the child!"
The middle-aged woman wanted to continue making trouble, but she was frightened by the look in Bai Wei's eyes.
A young girl could actually have such power, which frightened her so much that she held back her curse words.
Doctor Li saw that everything was finally quiet and he could go up to say something, so he quickly said, "Although this girl's treatment was delayed, Niu'er's condition was very bad to begin with. Niu'er's milk, please don't make a scene here and delay the rest of the other patients!"
When the lightly injured patients heard Doctor Li talking about Niu'er's condition, they also realized that this matter might be related to Bai Wei, but it was not a big deal, so they didn't say anything more.
But the middle-aged woman was not one to compromise so easily. Even though she was afraid of Bai Wei, she still couldn't hide her greedy heart. She hid behind her son and said, "No matter what Doctor Li says, I will definitely blame you for this matter. If you dare not give me the money, I will report to the authorities in the capital, protest my injustice, and make a scene at your house so that you can't get married!"
It is said that women in the capital city care most about their reputation, because if their reputation is damaged, no one will dare to marry them. She didn't believe that she couldn't control this woman like this.
Thinking of this, his eyes were filled with pride.
"You forced me to do this!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Wei took action.
A silver needle came out and pierced directly into the neck of the middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman felt Bai Wei coming towards her, and she actually used the child as a weapon and threw it at Bai Wei.
Bai Wei had not expected that she would do this, and subconsciously went to pick up the child and held the child firmly. While Bai Wei was picking up the child, the middle-aged woman reached out to grab Bai Wei's hair, but before she got close to Bai Wei, she lost her strength and fell to the ground.
Just as she reached the bottom, an orange flew over and smashed a hole in the wooden roof of the makeshift shed.
If she hadn't fallen down, Orange would most likely have blown his head off.
The middle-aged woman's eyes widened when she saw the limp orange, and her fear instantly reached its peak.
Bai Wei's mind was on the child. She quickly untied all the clothes wrapped around the child and checked on his condition.
Just as she thought, the child died because he was shaken while foaming at the mouth, which blocked his airway, but he was not dead. Bai Wei took out a silver needle and quickly put it on the child.
The speed was so fast that the people present couldn't see clearly.
The middle-aged woman finally came to her senses: "What a sin! My eldest grandson is dead and still being bullied by this woman!"
The people around him also came to their senses: "I heard that the dignitaries in the capital would play archery games, using real people as targets. This, this, this is also their game?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I heard that some young ladies would pierce their maids with sewing needles when they are in a bad mood to vent their anger!"
"No, she was too arrogant. She took out her anger on a child's corpse right in front of us. She simply didn't take us seriously."
"These young masters and young ladies from aristocratic families simply don't treat us as human beings. Da Zhuang, are you just going to watch them bully the corpse of your cow?"
Da Zhuang is Niu'er's father. His eyes are red and his hands are clenched tightly.
Although he didn't understand what the young girl in front of him was doing, he still remembered what she said: she could save his son.
Moreover, she looked so serious, it didn't seem like she was taking her anger out on the cow.
"She said she could save the cows..."
The middle-aged woman was so angry that she said to her son, "Da Zhuang, you are a fool. She didn't save the dead. I asked her to pay compensation, but she was unhappy. She is just taking it out on your son! Hurry up and catch her and make her pay. If she doesn't want to pay, let her give birth to a child for you to pay it back!"
Just as she finished her words, an orange hit her mouth directly, breaking her front teeth and blocking her mouth.
Seeing this, the crowd fell silent, but looked at Bai Wei with a hint of fear in their eyes.
She must have brought experts to protect her, so even if they wanted to ask for justice for Niu'er and condemn her for messing with Niu'er's corpse, they didn't have the ability to do so.
As expected, the aristocratic families from the capital are arrogant and domineering, and do not treat ordinary people as human beings! Pah!
Just as everyone's anger was growing, Doctor Li, who had been silent the whole time, showed an admiring expression: "Golden needle acupuncture, young lady, you actually know the art of golden needle acupuncture, and you are so skilled. Can I become your disciple?"
