When the female comrades came out of the house, they were still arguing outside. Liu Yu's attitude was very bad, and Li Wang, who was disguised as a cadre, was deliberately biased and unwilling to mediate fairly and impartially. Not to mention that Li Xiami was angry, even the village cadres were very dissatisfied with the two of them.
On the other side, Tian Ye drove a tractor to the county town, this time bringing the public security comrades and the leaders of the commune with him.
The leader from the commune was none other than Secretary Li. He had just heard Tian Ye's account of the situation on the way over, and as soon as he came over he asked, "Captain Zhao, how is the pregnant woman? Is she stable?"
"Secretary Li, Yun Zhiqing has stabilized after receiving medication and acupuncture. However, she has lost too much blood. She will have to stay in bed for at least two weeks before she can get out of bed and walk."
Secretary Li breathed a sigh of relief that no one was killed. Seeing that Liu Yu had just been arguing with someone, her face flushed, he said sternly, "Doctor Liu, the pregnant woman's family insisted on calling the police, and the police are here too. Please help them explain what happened."
When Liu Yu saw that they had really called the police, she glared at Li Xiami with a reluctant look on her face.
Seeing her acting this way in front of both the police and the leadership, Li Xiami gritted his teeth in anger. She didn't say anything, so he spoke for her, "Secretary Li, fellow police officers, I'm Li Sandong, the husband of pregnant woman Qu Dan. This morning, my mother and I accompanied my wife to the clinic to see Liu Yu. We left home at seven in the morning, and it took ten minutes to get to the clinic, but we didn't even see her until eight-thirty."
"When she came to the clinic, she had a sullen face, as if she had just had an argument. We were so scared we couldn't breathe."
"She opened the door and went to the small room at the back to fiddle around for half an hour. When she came out, I saw she was even wearing makeup. We were all sitting outside in silence."
Seeing him still talking about these things, Liu Yu said with a dark face: "Can you please stop talking nonsense?"
"Am I talking nonsense? You have a bad work attitude, you're not on time for work, and you're so late and you don't let anyone say anything."
Li Xiami choked back and continued to report: "We were the first in line. My wife sat down and started talking about her situation. After she had only mentioned that she was four months pregnant, she interrupted her and said in a very rude manner: 'Stop talking nonsense and get to the point.'"
"My wife was so frightened by her attitude that she didn't dare to say a word. She just asked to check if the fetus was stable, but she didn't check or take her pulse. She just prescribed medicine."
"I saw she had already prescribed the medicine, so I asked her why she was prescribing it without examining me. She then retorted: Am I the doctor, or are you the doctor?"
"Later, she prescribed some medicine and gave us a piece of very expensive donkey hide gelatin, saying it was a holy product for replenishing blood. It was very expensive, and my wife was reluctant to buy it. She said in a very rude manner: 'If you can afford it, buy it. If you can't, get out.'"
After saying that, he confronted Liu Yu with a hoarse voice: "Tell me, is there a word wrong in what I just said?"
Before Liu Yu could answer, Li's mother came running out to support her. "She's absolutely right. We spent money on things, and she scolded us. If we walked a little slower, she would even scold my son for standing there like a goalpost."
"I've lived for decades, and I've never met a young person with such a bad temper, especially a university student from the city. She was so rude and uneducated. The other villagers who saw her at the time were also dissatisfied with her attitude. One even went to the commune office to report her to the cadres."
Secretary Li went to the county town for a meeting in the morning and was not aware of the complaints from other villagers. However, Liu Yu had often scolded the people who came to see the doctor in recent days, and he had gone to mediate twice, so he believed that the Li family was not lying.
"Doctor Liu, let's not talk about your work for now. This pregnant woman almost had a miscarriage today because of your misprescription of the medicine. How do you plan to deal with this?"
"I just said, give them a hundred dollars in compensation."
Liu Yu had a sullen face and did not change her attitude towards Secretary Li. She still had that self-righteous and arrogant attitude.
"My wife and child were almost killed by you. You should pay compensation and you must also apologize to us."
Li Xiami had just had an argument with her and kept harping on this point, forcing her to apologize, but Liu Yu refused to agree and insisted that it was not her fault. She insisted that they did not explain it clearly.
"You want me to apologize? No way." Liu Yu was very arrogant.
Forget about Li Xiami. Secretary Li was even angry at her attitude. "Doctor Liu, if you do something wrong, you must take responsibility. The family only asked for a verbal apology, not a written self-reflection and apology. He's already showing you respect."
"I won't apologize. I'll add 20 yuan as compensation."
Liu Yu would rather pay money to deal with these poor guys than lower her proud head to apologize.
120 yuan is half a year's income for some rural families.
Seeing many people's envious eyes, Li Wang stepped in to smooth things over. "Li Xiami, Doctor Liu has given you so much compensation, you should just stop while you're ahead. Your wife is fine, so use the money to buy her some nutritional supplements. The extra money will be her absence pay. If you keep making a fuss, it will be embarrassing for a grown man to bully a woman."
"Li Wang, stop trying to be a peacemaker here. You've bullied many female comrades in the county, which is completely different from what I did. You don't feel ashamed, so why should I be afraid?" Li Xiami was also very eloquent and hit him hard in the heart.
Li Wang's expression changed immediately, and he gritted his teeth: "I'm giving you a way out, but you won't, you idiot."
"Who cares about your stairs?"
Li Xiami wasn't afraid of this thug and even complained to Secretary Li and the others: "Secretary Li, fellow police comrades, Li Wang, as a cadre, handled the matter unfairly and impartially. He favored Liu Yu and even threatened me insinuations."
