"Chen Jiayi, didn't I tell you to bring me 20 jin of potatoes? Where are my potatoes?"

Chen Jiayi put down her book, and Li Yuzhu, with her sharp eyes, noticed that Chen Jiayi was looking at basic English lessons.

She immediately thought to herself with a sneer: What? This country bumpkin Chen Jiayi wants to learn English?

Chen Jiayi raised an eyebrow. "Did you pay?"

Li Yuzhu was annoyed; of course she didn't pay! He just didn't want to pay, so after Chen Jiayi moved to her doorstep, he made up an excuse to criticize Chen Jiayi, telling her not to tease her.

Seeing that Li Yuzhu remained silent, Chen Jiayi immediately pressed her for an answer.

"You haven't paid anything, so what am I supposed to deliver to you? And with this address, it'll cost an extra 50 cents for delivery."

Li Yuzhu exploded.

"Why should I? I buy things from you, and you deliver them to me. Isn't that what you should do?"

She felt that Chen Jiayi just wanted to charge her more money.

Chen Jiayi rolled her eyes. "Then you can buy it from someone else."

To earn 20 kilograms of potatoes, I had to deliver them 4 kilometers away, working myself to the bone and wasting my time.

She didn't have a horse-drawn carriage or an oxcart, so she could only use a carrying pole or a basket on her back to deliver the goods.

Li Yuzhu pursed her lips, "Sister-in-law, if you hate me, just say so."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Chen Jiayi looked completely bewildered.

She silently picked up the book and continued reading, while the older sister beside her chuckled.

"Who is this woman? Is she that mistress?"

Chen Jiayi exclaimed in surprise, "Big sister, you have such a good eye!"

The older woman exclaimed, "Oh dear, that's exactly the kind of woman my old man used to date—pretty-looking but actually just a woman who knows how to seduce men."

Chen Jiayi smiled but didn't say anything.

People's Hospital

Li Shufang dragged Ding Haowen to the hospital's payment counter in a menacing manner.

Li Shufang looked the medical staff who were collecting money up and down.

The medical staff were baffled by Li Shufang's stare!

She said impatiently, "What are you looking at? Are you going to pay or not? If you're not going to pay, get out of here."

Li Shufang immediately slammed her hand on the table and stood up from her chair. The medical staff, seeing that she was about to crawl inside, were so frightened that they quickly stood up from their seats and backed away.

Li Shufang's head hit the window, and she already had a bump on her forehead, which was hit again.

She screamed in pain, clutching the large bump on her head and crying out, "What kind of hospital is this? Taking bribes is one thing, but this hospital building has structural problems too! Pay up! If you don't pay up, this isn't over!"

Ding Haowen was dumbfounded, and seeing the people around him pointing and whispering, he immediately felt ashamed.

He reached out and grabbed his mother, whispering words of persuasion.

"Mom, why are you like this? You clearly bumped into it yourself just now."

Li Shufang glared at Ding Haowen and hissed at him in a low voice.

"Get out of my way, don't interfere with my performance."

Seeing Li Shufang acting erratically, the medical staff were immediately shocked and said, "You're faking an accident! If you keep this up, I'll call the police!"

Ding Haowen feels like he's been going to the police station all the time lately. He gets a headache whenever he hears the word "police."

Feeling ashamed, he immediately pulled out his money and pulled his mother back.

"Mom, stop making trouble. It's clearly your own fault for not being careful, how can you blame her?"

When the medical staff saw Ding Haowen take out money, she glanced at Li Shufang sideways before slowly sitting down.

Li Shufang was so angry that she vomited blood; she was utterly speechless.

She originally just wanted to haggle with the hospital over medical expenses, but she didn't expect to hit her head, so she immediately came up with the idea of ​​staging an accident to extort money.

Who knew my son would sabotage me!

Ding Haowen paid 258 yuan, looking somewhat unwell.

Just to keep the child in the hospital a little longer, they ended up charging an extra tens of yuan.

Ding Haowen didn't understand how the hospital charged its fees, but he felt he definitely couldn't stay there any longer.

He said, "I want to take my child home from the hospital. Could you please help me with the discharge procedures?"

The staff handed Ding Haowen some change and told him that his child could not be discharged from the hospital yet.

Li Shufang was immediately indignant. She shouted, "Everyone, come and see! My granddaughter just has diarrhea! The hospital wants her to stay! It's cost 258 yuan extra over two days. My family is just an ordinary rural family. How long does it take us to earn 200 yuan? Now we want to discharge her, but the hospital won't allow it!"

Seeing Li Shufang throwing a tantrum, Ding Haowen felt somewhat embarrassed, but that was indeed what he thought in his heart.

He silently took two steps back, distancing himself from Li Shufen.

The staff member was just offering a friendly reminder, but Li Shufang unexpectedly started making a scene.

She was immediately embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

Li Yuzhu was depressed the whole way, thinking to herself, why did Chen Jiayi deserve to marry better than her? Her husband was young and handsome.

This originally belonged to her...

As she was lost in thought, she saw a group of people gathered in front of her, making a commotion.

Li Yuzhu heard a familiar voice questioning, "Then tell me, what medicine did your hospital give my granddaughter? How much did it cost?"

The staff member was just a cashier; how could they know these things?

With tears in her eyes, she tried to explain to Li Shufang, but Li Shufang wouldn't listen.

People around her were pointing and whispering. After listening for a couple of sentences, Li Yuzhu immediately realized that they were there to cause trouble at the hospital.

A hint of disgust flashed in her eyes as she thought to herself, "I wonder whose it is. It's so embarrassing."

When Li Yuzhu saw the other person's face clearly, she froze.

It was Ding Haowen's mother?

Li Yuzhu turned to leave, but Li Shufang spotted her.

She immediately shouted out Li Yuzhu's name.

"Yuzhu! Dr. Li!"

Li Yuzhu felt everyone's eyes on her, and she stood there awkwardly, frozen in place.

Li Shufang grabbed Li Yuzhu, "Yuzhu, tell me, did your hospital take bribes? How come your child has diarrhea and you charged 258 yuan and won't let him leave the hospital?"

Li Yuzhu hadn't expected her child's diarrhea to be so severe. As a doctor, she knew perfectly well that hospital fees were based on the severity of the illness.

Seeing so many people staring at her, she forced a smile.

"Auntie, our hospital's charges are all reasonable and justified; we don't overcharge."

Li Shufang's face immediately darkened. "Yuzhu, you work at this hospital, so you're taking the hospital's side, right? Then tell me why you have to charge over 200 yuan for diarrhea?"

Li Shufang felt extremely distressed at the thought of losing 258 yuan.

Ding Haowen felt a little embarrassed. He wanted to tell his mother to let it go, but he was too shy to go forward.

Li Yuzhu hadn't expected Ding Haowen's mother to be so difficult; she said with a headache.

"Auntie, I don't treat lilacs. But since you have questions, our fee schedule is public, I'll go get you the fee schedule."

Li Shufang was finally satisfied, and she crossed her arms and snorted coldly.

Ding Haowen had a bad feeling, and he immediately stood up and sighed.

"Mom, I've already paid. This is a big hospital, why would they overcharge? Stop making a fuss."

Ding Haowen had a helpless expression on his face, as if his mother was deliberately stirring up trouble.

Li Yuzhu and Ding Haowen's eyes inadvertently met.

Ding Haowen immediately felt deeply apologetic.
