“You two are right. In the future, when you look for a wife, you must learn from your third uncle’s lesson. Don’t be tempted by pretty girls and then fail to see how bad their character really is.”

After hearing this, the two little ones nodded their heads and assured Lin Li.

"Grandma, we will definitely learn from Uncle's mistake and will never judge a girl solely on her appearance again!"

Lin Laosan: But are we not going to talk about this anymore? He knows he was wrong.

He sat back down at the table listlessly, eating while listening to the two little ones and Lin Li discuss how to use his recent relationship as a case study to prevent similar situations in the future.

Make him lose his appetite.

Just as the three were having a heated discussion, there was a knock on the door.

The discussion abruptly ended.

"Grandma, I'll go open the door!"

Lin Hu put down his bowl and chopsticks and quickly ran to the gate of the yard and opened it.

Li Yang, who was knocking on the door, saw it suddenly open and a chubby-faced child poking his head out.

His dark eyes lit up the moment he saw him.

"Grandma, it's Brother Li Yang!"

He shouted inside while opening the door wide.

Seeing how happy he was, Li Yang couldn't help but ruffle his thick hair.

"I need to talk to your third uncle about something. Is he here right now?"

"Third Uncle is here, Brother Li Yang, come in quickly!"

Upon hearing Lin Hu's voice, Lin Li and Lin Laosan put down their bowls and chopsticks and went into the courtyard.

"Comrade Li, what brings you here? Is there something you need?"

"Hello Dr. Lin, I'm here to see Lin Laosan."

As Li Yang spoke, he took a notebook out of his bag and opened a page filled with dense notes.

"I received a call from a colleague at the Tsinghua Garden Police Station today, saying that Lin Laosan encountered criminals sent by Jia Jiaojiao when he left the school gate..."

A few minutes later, Li Yang finished recounting what had happened.

"...I just received a notification from my colleagues at the Tsinghua Garden Police Station that Jia Jiaojiao has been arrested. She has admitted that she did indeed instigate the incident, so we still need Comrade Lin's cooperation."

After hearing Li Yang's words, Lin Li's face turned ashen, and her eyes blazed with anger.

She hadn't even settled accounts with the Jia family yet, and they came knocking on her door first.

"How could Jia Jiaojiao be so wicked?"

"Exactly! She doesn't like Third Uncle, but she won't let him go. I don't know what she's thinking."

Lin Laosan: We don't need to specifically mention that she doesn't like him.

"Isn't this the kind of 'scumbag woman' that Grandma talks about!"

"Yes, she's a scumbag!"

Li Yang: ...

He glanced at Lin Laosan, whose face was ashen, with a look of sympathy.

How pitiful.

Lin Laosan tried his best to suppress the grief and indignation that the two children had instilled in him. He took a deep breath and calmly recounted the cause and effect of what had happened today.

Li Yang nodded and wrote it down.

"I've already made a record of it. If there are any new developments..."

Before he could finish speaking, the courtyard gate was kicked open.

Li Yang: ...

Lin Laosan: ...

Lin Li: ...

The two little ones: ...

All five people and ten pairs of eyes turned to the doorway.

How did our gate end up offending them?

"Which one is Dr. Lin? Get out here."

Lin Li: "...?"

A burly man walked in with Jia Jiaojiao's brother Siqi and two elderly men with white hair.

"Which of you is Dr. Lin? Why won't you treat my nephew and brother? Are you even a doctor? How can you have no medical ethics at all?"

Li Yang, dressed in civilian clothes: I miscalculated. I should have come in my police uniform.

As Lin Laosan looked at the man with a face full of scars and was about to step forward to speak, he heard Siqi Ge point at Lin Li and say something.

"Uncle, that woman is Doctor Lin. She's the one who refused to treat my father and me."

Upon hearing Siqi's words, the man quickly took a few steps forward, intending to grab Lin Li's arm, but Lin Laosan, who was blocking her way, grabbed his hand.

What do you want to do?

"It hurts...it hurts...it hurts, please let go of my hand."

Lin Laosan's face turned slightly cold, his gaze sharp as knives, and he asked in a calm tone.

What do you want to do?

"Let me go!"

The man struggled to break free from Lin Laosan's grasp, then kept rubbing his injured hand with his other hand.

"What do I want to do? I just want Dr. Lin to come to my house to treat my brother and nephew."

"See a doctor? Is this how you treat someone when you're asking them to see a doctor?"

"How could it not be? Let me tell you, don't waste time. If anything happens to my brother, I won't let you off the hook."

Lin Li: They haven't even seen a doctor yet, and they've already started causing trouble for the medical staff?

Lin Li pulled Lin Laosan away, walked up to the man, and looked at him coldly.

"I have never seen a patient's family member like you before. You want to ask the doctor to treat you, and you're so rude..."

"I'm being unreasonable? It's not because you, the doctor, lack medical ethics..."

Before the man could finish speaking, he saw the elderly couple who had come with him slowly move to the front.

The old lady was wearing a faded blue cotton jacket, and her hair was completely white, simply tied back with an old strip of cloth.

The old man was hunched over, leaning on a polished wooden cane, walking with a limp, pausing after every step.

Their eyes flickered, exchanging subtle glances every now and then, before finally settling on Lin Li's face.

The old lady walked up to the man, tugged at his arm, and spoke in a voice that was just loud enough for Lin Li to hear.

“My son, don’t be angry with Doctor Lin. Let’s plead with him properly. We’re all human.”

These words, seemingly meant to encourage reconciliation, actually imply that a softer approach could be used.

He impatiently shook off the old woman's hand: "I think her heart is made of iron; she won't soften at all!"

The old lady sighed, turned to Lin Li, and her face instantly became pleading, but her eyes quickly glanced at the old man beside her.

"Dr. Lin, please, please save my son and grandson. They are our lifeblood."

The old man nodded in agreement, trying to squeeze out a few drops of moisture from his cloudy eyes.

"Dr. Lin, we really have no other way. Only you can save them."

Lin Li's gaze swept across the two elderly people's faces, and she spoke in a calm tone.

"Grandpa and Grandma, I'm sorry, I can't cure your son and grandson."

Are you just going to stand by and watch them die?

The man roared again, his face trembling with agitation.

"How can there be such a heartless doctor like you? We've begged you like this."

"Heh, begging me? Is this how you beg me?"

Lin Li's eyes flashed with cold light, "You are clearly threatening me."

After pausing, he gave a disdainful sneer and continued speaking.

"If you need medical treatment, I suggest you go to a regular hospital, where the doctors can provide you with professional treatment."
