Chapter 277: Too Poor to Even Afford Food (1/2)



A villager who was waiting outside the health room for news told the village chief, "He was brought in at noon. He wasn't in good condition at the time, breathing in less than he was out. Then Doctor Xu closed the door. I don't know what he's doing inside, and he hasn't opened it since."

When the village chief heard this, his attitude towards accusing others became even tougher, and he stood at the door and shouted to open it.

Inside the house, Xu Shuhua and Xu Xuehua helped put clothes on for the family of five. The five people looked much brighter and their breathing was steadier than before. It was obvious that they were saved.

Xu Xuehua was now completely overwhelmed with admiration for Song Yun. She couldn't understand how Song Yun, two years younger than her, had mastered such incredible acupuncture skills. The way she inserted the needles was so cool, her movements were so quick, accurate, and ruthless that it made her eyes water.

At this time, the village chief of Xiaba Village knocked on the door very rudely outside, and those sharp questions of accountability were all transmitted into the house without missing a word.

Xu Xuehua stamped her feet in anger. "What kind of person is this! They were the ones who refused to send people to the hospital, and now they blame me?"

Song Yun felt something was wrong and turned to Xu Xuehua and said, "Open the door."

Xu Xuehua went to open the door, and the village chief rushed in with several villagers with unfriendly expressions.

The village chief glanced at the family of five lying on the ground. He only glanced at them once before immediately looking away. He said to Xu Xuehua, "Doctor Xu, do you know what you're doing? You've delayed the patient's treatment. Now he's dead. How will you be held responsible?"

Xu Xuehua frowned. "Who died? Could you please clarify the situation first, Village Chief Chen, before you speak? Also, was it me who said I couldn't send them to the hospital? It was the people in your village who refused to send them there. What can I do?"

The village chief's eyes darkened and he quickly looked at the five people on the ground. Only then did he realize that the faces of these five people were not as ugly as he had imagined, and their chests were heaving, obviously they were still alive.

But how is this possible?

This is absolutely impossible!

Song Yunyi was observing the expression of Village Chief Chen, and seeing his reaction, she felt more and more that something was wrong.

As the village chief, it stands to reason that when a villager suffers such a tragedy, he should organize and coordinate efforts to get the victim to the hospital for treatment. Even if he couldn't do that, he should at least show some joy when he learns that the villagers are safe.

But when Village Chief Chen learned that the family of five was still alive, there was no joy on his face. Instead, his eyes became cold and gloomy.

After about a minute of silence, Village Chief Chen finally spoke again, "Since they are gone, I will have them carried away right away."

Xu Xuehua, "Who said they're dead? Do they look dead? Doctor Song worked so hard to save their lives. If they want to be cured, they have to go to the hospital for hospitalization."

When Village Chief Chen heard this, he became even more determined to take them there. "I think they're fine now. It's just the same if they go there to recuperate. You don't have to worry about it."

Xu Xuehua stopped the villagers who were rushing over to carry the people. "Stop! If they don't get hospitalized and treated, they'll definitely die if they're carried like this. What on earth are you trying to do?"

Village Chief Chen stared at Xu Xuehua with a cold gaze. "Doctor Xu, this family of five is so poor they can't even afford food. How can they afford hospitalization? Who's going to pay for it? Will you pay?"
