Chapter 015: The Soul is About to Explode
After Ye Qing arrived at the hospital, he went straight to the emergency room to ask the nurse.
The nurse still had an impression of Ye Qing.
After all, when the old lady with acute myocardial infarction was sent to the hospital the day before yesterday, she was accompanied by several enthusiastic passengers.
Those passengers spared no effort to promote Ye Qing, and exaggerated her heroic act of saving people on the trolley bus to the extreme.
Later, Ye Qing even paid for the surgery out of his own pocket in order to get the old lady into the operating room as quickly as possible, so it was hard for the nurses in the emergency room to forget Ye Qing.
So when Ye Qing came to inquire, the nurse quickly helped Ye Qing find out the old lady's whereabouts.
"The old lady's name is Chen Huizhen. After the operation, she was arranged to stay in a special ward."
"But people other than the patients' family members are not allowed to visit them. They have to be brought in by someone."
Ye Qing was stunned.
Whether now or in the future, those who can be admitted to special wards are often people of extraordinary status and background. It seems that this old lady is either rich or noble.
This news immediately made Ye Qing feel a little happy.
She came to the hospital with only one purpose, which was to get back the money she had paid in advance.
Anyone who can afford to stay in the cadre ward will definitely not rely on her to pay back the ten dollars.
As for the patient's background, it had nothing to do with her, and she had no intention of finding out.
She smiled sweetly at the nurse and pleaded softly:
"Miss, could you please help me and take me to the special ward? Don't worry, I will be out soon."
The nurse glanced at Ye Qing and followed the rules: "This is against the rules. Leaders live there and the management is very strict—"
Since she was going to visit a patient in the hospital, Ye Qing couldn't come empty-handed, so she brought a small basket of chestnuts.
Seeing the nurse's embarrassed expression, she immediately grabbed a handful of wild chestnuts from the basket and stuffed them into the nurse's white coat pocket.
These wild chestnuts were ripened by Ye Qing using his wood-related supernatural powers. Each one is round and plump, and you can tell they must be delicious just by looking at the appearance.
The nurse's expression changed slightly. After hesitating for a moment, she whispered to Ye Qing to follow her.
Ye Qing immediately followed and when they arrived at the door of the special ward, the nurse asked Ye Qing to wait outside while she went in to find someone to ask about the situation.
After about a minute or two, the nurse came out, and with her came another nurse who looked more experienced and had a more serious expression.
"What do you want to see Comrade Chen Huizhen about?" The older nurse frowned and looked at Ye Qing.
Seeing this, Ye Qing immediately repeated her old trick and grabbed a handful of wild chestnuts and put them into the arms of the elderly nurse. She then told her about how she saved someone on the tram that day and later paid the medical bills for the old lady.
"I was busy these past two days and didn't visit. I took some time out today and wanted to ask the patient's family if they could return the money to me. If it's inconvenient for the patient, I don't have to go in as long as someone from their family can come and take care of it."
The nurse was a little impatient at first, but seeing that Ye Qing was so considerate, she went in and helped convey the message.
After hearing the news, the old lady's family came out quickly.
But Ye Qing had imagined several scenarios, but he did not expect the patient's family to react like this.
A middle-aged woman in her forties stood at the door, staring at Ye Qing sharply, and began to question:
"Are you Ye Qing? Haven't I already sent you the medical expenses and thank-you money? Why are you here again? Little girl, don't be greedy. It's better to know when to stop!"
Ye Qing's heart sank suddenly.
On the one hand, she was very unhappy with the woman's condescending attitude, especially the threatening tone, which made Ye Qing feel deeply offended;
On the other hand, the message revealed in the woman's words gave Ye Qing a very bad feeling.
"Have you been to Yantang Old Street?"
The woman nodded unhappily and responded impatiently:
"Yes, it's the address of the tube building you left. Not only did I advance the medical expenses, I also gave you 200 yuan as a reward and a bunch of gifts. Is that enough to repay your favor?"
Ye Qing was almost angry to death.
To be fair, she could understand the bad attitude of the patient's family. If it were her, after delivering so many things, if the rescuer was still not satisfied, she would probably think that the other party was trying to repay the favor and wanted to bite off another piece of meat from the patient's family!
But damn, these things didn't even fall into her hands! She knew with her toes that they must have been embezzled by the evil gang of the Ye family!
Thinking of this, Ye Qing felt extremely regretful and was so angry that he wanted to curse his mother.
She helped the old lady without asking for anything in return. If the 200 yuan thank-you fee had been given to her in person, she would not have accepted it at all!
If she had known this, she would not have left the Ye family's address. She just stayed in Sheshan for a day, but she didn't expect that she would give the Ye family an opportunity to take advantage of her and let them dig such a big trap for her!
The key point is that the money and gifts given by the patient's family were real, and they came to express their gratitude in person. Their attitude showed that they took it seriously enough. She couldn't just tell them that she had a fight with her family and that she didn't receive the gifts, so they didn't count, right?
So after all the calculations, it was because she was not careful and thorough enough, and in the end she had to swallow this stupid loss silently!
Ye Qing's heart was itching with hatred, but he still had to apologize to the old lady's family in a nice way. He was about to rush back to Yantang Old Street to settle the score with the Ye family, but when he turned around, he bumped into an old man.
"Little girl, why is it you?!"
A surprised shout brought Ye Qing back to his senses.
When Ye Qing looked up, he saw a familiar face with wrinkles all over its face due to a smile.
"Uncle, why are you here?"
The old man was none other than the loud-mouthed Mr. Chen Youde who was fishing in People's Park a few days ago.
Chen Youde was very happy. He had been thinking about Ye Qing's superb fishing skills since he witnessed them last time.
A few old men conducted an experiment afterwards, trying to use the aquatic plants by the lake to replicate the scene of Ye Qing catching a big fish that day, but they spent a whole day in People's Park and still failed.
This instead aroused the curiosity and fighting spirit of these old men. They wanted to find the mysterious little girl and find out how she did it. If possible, they would even pay some money as a gift to become her apprentice.
But these two days, several old men have been squatting in the People's Park from morning to night, but they didn't see anyone. This made them feel frustrated. Their usually enthusiastic fishing routine seemed a bit boring.
Chen Youde never thought that after searching for so long in the past, he would finally get what he wanted without any effort. He would actually run into this little girl in the hospital!
"You've been a hard thing for us to find these days! I'm telling you, you can't hide anymore this time. You have to take some time out to go fishing with us old guys. Otherwise, we old guys won't be able to sleep or eat!"
When Ye Qing heard this, he immediately touched his nose uncomfortably, feeling so guilty that he didn't dare to meet the old man's eyes.
She originally thought it was just a quick transaction and she would be going back to the countryside in a few days. She would never have any contact with these old men again. Who could have thought that by such a coincidence, she would be blocked in the hospital. Isn't this embarrassing?
Ye Qing was thinking of finding an excuse to divert the old man's attention so that he could escape.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the family member of Old Lady Chen standing over there suddenly spoke up, interrupting the two of them:
"Uncle, are you familiar with this Comrade Xiao Ye?"
Uncle? Ye Qing was startled, and then his eyes widened in surprise.
Chen Youde and Chen Huizhen both have the surname Chen. Are they actually relatives?
Because Ye Qing was so good at fishing, even though he didn't even know his name, Chen Youde unilaterally declared that Ye Qing was his friend regardless of age difference:
"Yes, of course I know him. He is a common friend of our senior fishing group. We are very close."
Chen Youde lied without blushing or beating his heart. After saying this, he looked at his eldest nephew's wife curiously.
"You guys know Xiaoyun too?"
Seeing how familiar Chen Youde was with Ye Qing, Liao Yun's arrogance towards Ye Qing disappeared instantly. She walked up to him with a fake smile and grabbed Ye Qing's arm:
"Oh, I'm so sorry, Comrade Xiaoye. Auntie just misunderstood you. My mother-in-law really let you down this time. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous."
Chen Youde understood what was said, and he immediately raised his voice excitedly:
"What? This girl is the one who saved my elder sister?!"
As soon as I finished shouting, the older nurse glared at me with a serious expression:
"Old comrade, please stay quiet and don't disturb other patients!"
Chen Youde immediately looked embarrassed, but Liao Yun nodded slightly at him:
"That's her."
Chen Youde's eyes were immediately filled with gratitude.
His eldest sister had suffered from coronary heart disease for many years, but her physical condition had always been relatively stable, so the family did not pay much attention to it. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen this time, scaring the whole family.
And according to the doctor, if there hadn't been someone skilled in first aid who responded quickly and helped press to restart the heart, the old lady would have died before she could even get to the hospital.
Compared to his daughter-in-law Liao Yun, Chen Youde's attitude towards Ye Qing was much more natural and sincere:
"Girl, I, Chen Youde, will remember this favor. If you have any difficulties, just let me know. As long as I, Chen Youde, can do it, I will definitely find a way to help you solve it!"
Ye Qing secretly complained in his heart: My biggest difficulty now is figuring out how to get rid of you. Otherwise, if you keep pestering me to ask about the secret of catching big fish, how should I answer you?
But she couldn't say that.
Well, since the old lady's family has already gone to the Ye family to express their gratitude, Ye Qing will certainly not hold on to them anymore.
Although her relationship with the Ye family could not be explained, she had to firmly express her attitude towards this matter:
"Auntie, I'm sorry. I've been out for a few days and haven't been home. I didn't know that my family accepted such a generous gift from you. Saving the old lady was just a matter of convenience for me, and I never thought of asking for any reward. I don't need such a generous reward from you. Don't worry, I will find a way to return the money!"
After saying that, she stuffed the basket of chestnuts in her hand into Liao Yun's arms, then turned around and left without waiting for Liao Yun to react.
She had originally planned to go in and visit Old Mrs. Chen before coming, but she was not stupid and of course she could see that Liao Yun had a prejudice against her. Since people didn't welcome her, there was no need for her to rush in and cause trouble.
Ye Qing walked through the long corridor and was about to go downstairs, but she didn't expect Chen Youde to come after her after he came to his senses and kept shouting at her to wait like a piece of taffy.
Ye Qing suddenly felt overwhelmed. In order to get rid of this stubborn old man, she went down one floor, turned a corner in a hurry, and rushed into a room with an ajar door.
As expected, Chen Youde didn't notice and continued to chase him. After a while, he went down the stairs.
Ye Qing patted his chest and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But she immediately realized something was wrong, as if someone was staring at her from a distance.
She turned back subconsciously.
When I turned around, I met a pair of deep eyes.
After seeing the man's appearance clearly, Ye Qing's pupils trembled instantly, his breathing stagnated, and he felt like his soul was about to explode.
