When Aunt Zhang heard what Jiang Xia said, her legs suddenly went weak and she fell to the ground. She then started crying and pounding the ground, as if she wished she could die in place of her son. She looked both pitiful and hateful.
When she heard Jiang Xia say that she couldn't be saved, her expression changed in an instant, and she looked at Jiang Xia and Su Zhongshu with resentment in her eyes.
"You are doctors, you knew that my son's hand would be damaged and that it would be infected by certain bacteria. Why didn't you stop him or try to persuade him? It is you who made my son disabled. You should either pay compensation or find a wife for my son." Aunt Zhang said.
It seemed as if he was going to rely on Jiang Xia, acting like a piece of shit and trying to be reasonable when he spoke.
Jiang Xia had long anticipated that such a scene might happen, and she glanced at the people standing around the village entrance.
When she and her grandfather invited her cousin, the village bully, to come into the yard for treatment, she also asked her grandmother Zhao Hexiang to do something.
That is to go to the place where women at the entrance of the village gossip and chat, and take these people home to watch. It is human nature to watch the fun and eat melons. After busy work, women like to get together and talk about gossip, talking about the private affairs of other families, and there is no TV to watch.
Then the excitement in other people's homes would be an interesting show.
At that time, she let these people watch the whole process.
After this incident, even if Aunt Zhang's family wanted to make a fuss, no one would care and they wouldn't be able to make a fuss.
As soon as Aunt Zhang said this, the uncles and aunts who were sitting at the entrance of the village and chatting became unhappy and stood up to speak up for her.
"Zhang Guizhi, this is where you're wrong. Doctor Su has a well-known reputation in our village. He has been treating and saving lives for many years without charging extra money from our fellow villagers. At that time, I saw that vagrant carrying your son and crying and begging Doctor Su to save him." The aunt next to her spoke up.
"That's right, you think we are blind and can't see anything. You can blackmail people with just a few words. We are all witnesses." A man next to him spoke. He puffed out his chest when he said the word "witness". He learned this word from a movie star when the projectionist came to the village to show movies last time.
"Do you have any shame, Xia Xia? Doctor Su clearly told you not to put it on, but you insisted on doing so. You think that a first-grade primary school graduate can know more than a high school graduate. You were begging for help just now, but now you turned hostile when you saw that you couldn't get what you wanted. Who dares to mess with someone like you?" A middle-aged woman in a red ruffled dress next to her put her hands on her hips and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
It was obvious from the look on his face that he had been unhappy with Aunt Zhang for a long time, and now he had just caught the opportunity to scold her.
Aunt Zhang listened to the people at the village entrance talking to each other. She felt a little embarrassed and stopped crying. She was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak for a long time. She could only get up from the ground and brush off the dirt.
"Bah, what a heartless thing, all bought off by the Su family's money." Aunt Zhang tried to be strong, her voice a little weak, and she stopped making a fuss. After cursing in a dejected manner, she ran away, not daring to stay any longer.
Jiang Xia watched Aunt Zhang leave, retracted his gaze, and took out a small tin box from his pocket.
That was the candy she had bought from a state-owned store. When she opened the lid of the tin can, colorful candies rolled out in various water-based flavors. Sugar was a rare thing in those days, let alone water-based candies.
"Thank you all aunts and uncles for speaking to me. This is the candy I bought from a state-owned store before." Jiang Xia said.
As Jiang Xia spoke, he poured two pills into the palm of the aunt who spoke first, and the others followed suit.
"We can't stand it either. What's the big deal? Doctor Su has helped us a lot over the years. How can we... have the nerve to eat your candy?" The aunt who took the candy poured out by Jiang Xia looked a little embarrassed. Although she said so, she couldn't hide the happy look on her face.
