Chapter 234 I didn't hear it either
"mom!"
Su Laosan rushed over and caught Li Banxia. "Mom, are you alright?"
"N-nothing."
Li Banxia shook her head, suppressing the panic in her heart, and grasped the nurse's hand with trembling hands, "Comrade, please tell the doctor that he must, he must save my daughter's life, we are willing to pay any amount of money."
The nurse looked at Li Banxia and nodded.
They comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, ma'am, we will do everything we can to save the woman in labor."
Gao Da frowned and glanced over. The nurse shook her head at Gao Da, and Gao Da's heart sank to the bottom.
Who is the father of the child?
The nurse released Li Banxia and looked at Zhang Haijun and Zhang Lao Er. "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and pay the money. Do you still want the child? If you delay the medication, what kind of aftereffects will the child suffer? You'll be responsible for that!"
She spoke rudely and gave the Zhang family no pleasantries.
He continued in a cold voice, "You don't care about the lives of adults, and you don't care about the lives of children either? Speak up!"
"Help! We'll help!"
Zheng Xiulan was overjoyed to have a grandson and went up to the nurse, asking, "Is it really a boy?"
"What? You don't want a guy who isn't male?"
The nurse glanced at Zheng Xiulan with disdain, inwardly cursing, "What kind of person is she? Doesn't she value her daughter-in-law's life? Wasn't she once a daughter-in-law herself?"
Zheng Xiulan said awkwardly, "Yes, as long as it's a child from our Zhang family..."
"Then hurry up and pay! What are you dawdling for! If you delay any longer, what if something happens to the child? Will you take responsibility?" The nurse, too lazy to waste words with her, urged her.
Zheng Xiulan, "..."
Is this nurse on fire? She's always picking on her and saying the worst things.
"I'll pay right now. We brought money with us when we came." Zheng Xiulan didn't dare delay her eldest grandson and hurried downstairs to pay.
After paying, Zheng Xiulan returned with the payment slip and gave it to the nurse.
When the nurse was about to leave, she realized what was happening and stopped her.
When asked, "Why can Su Hongying be saved without paying, but my grandson has to pay first?"
The nurse rolled her eyes at her.
"So what? Her life was hanging by a thread. You were asked to sign the surgical risk consent form, but you kept dragging your feet and wouldn't sign it. Her mother had to come and sign it before she could save her life. It was a matter of life and death; how could there be time to pay the bill?!"
The nurse glanced at Gao Da and frowned. Actually, it was Dr. Gao who told them to sign the papers and start the surgery without worrying about the cost; the bill would be settled after the surgery.
Because if you pay the fee before saving the person...
The pregnant woman definitely can't wait.
But given how badly this family has splashed water, is it possible to get the surgery fees back?
It's not really appropriate to ask the new mother's family to pay for it, is it?
Then the in-laws can really get out.
The nurse, still furious, glared at Zheng Xiulan and said, "Your second daughter-in-law said you were the union chairman, but I've never seen anyone like you who can be a cadre. You're utterly despicable, a complete scourge of despicableness."
She spoke very softly for the last sentence.
But the corridor was so quiet that everyone heard it.
Su Laosan grinned so wide it almost reached his ears.
Zheng Xiulan's face flushed red with embarrassment, and she glared at the nurse, unable to save face.
The nurse turned and left.
A short while later, after the child finished taking the medication, he was transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit for monitoring. The nurse then brought over a form and asked them to pay the bill.
"Why do I need guardianship?" Zheng Xiulan looked at the payment slip, feeling completely bewildered.
The nurse looked at her and said, "Why do you say we need monitoring? He wasn't born at full term. His mother started bleeding, and you didn't take him to the hospital. He even drank so much murky amniotic fluid in his own mother's womb, and you wouldn't sign the surgical consent form, leaving his mother to suffer in there for so long!"
Zheng Xiulan tried to interrupt, but the nurse deliberately sped up her speech, making it difficult for her to find a place to speak.
"...If this child hadn't been lucky, he would have suffocated in there long ago. Let me tell you, if you find it troublesome, take him home and raise him yourselves. If he turns out badly, don't regret it."
Zheng Xiulan, "..."
She didn't dare take it back, and could only awkwardly say that we would pay for guardianship.
The nurse handed over the form, saying, "Remember to deposit more money in there, so I don't have to come out and bring you more forms later. Don't you find it troublesome?"
"How long will this require monitoring?" Zheng Xiulan asked the nurse after taking the form.
The nurse frowned, a little impatient. "Of course, we'll monitor him until his physical condition reaches that of a normal newborn. Get the money ready."
For the sake of her eldest grandson, Zheng Xiulan repeatedly lost face and endured it all.
When she returned the money to the nurse, the nurse asked her if she had deposited the money.
"I've deposited it, I've deposited one hundred."
The nurse frowned. "What can a hundred do? You want a grandson so badly, yet you can't even save enough for a life-saving treatment. You might as well be stingy to death..."
Zheng Xiulan could no longer tolerate it.
She retorted angrily, "It's my money, I can pay as much as I want, what's it to you?! Is this how you serve the people? I'm going to report you to your hospital, your attitude is appalling, you don't deserve to be a nurse at all."
The nurse gave a soft scoff.
“Go ahead and sue, go right now. My cousin works in the neonatal intensive care unit. If you don’t want your grandson, go ahead and sue her.”
"you!"
Zheng Xiulan trembled with anger, her eyes wide as she cried out, "Police officers, listen to this! She's threatening me!"
Police officers are looking after nurses.
The nurse instantly switched to an innocent expression, "What did I say?"
Zheng Xiulan repeated the nurse's threatening words to herself.
The nurse said, "Grandma, you're old and hard of hearing, you must have misheard."
The woman who was watching the commotion chuckled.
The police officer pursed his lips and coughed lightly. The woman hummed in agreement. "I was close by, I didn't hear anything. You're the one with paranoia."
Su Laosan also raised his hand.
"I didn't hear it either; it was just Old Lady Zhang making things up."
He made a disgusted "hmph" and looked Zheng Xiulan up and down.
"You even framed a stranger, you old hag, you're a complete scoundrel."
Zheng Xiulan turned her head and glared at Su Laosan, "Who are you calling a piece of trash?!"
Su Laosan clicked his tongue.
He said, "Should I use another word? You're such a jerk! Is there... any difference?"
Zheng Xiulan, "..."
"Officer! He insulted me!"
Several police officers stared at Su Laosan.
With a grin, Su Laosan raised his hand and readily admitted his mistake, "I was wrong. Although she did inhuman things and wasn't human, I really shouldn't have called her inhuman or a thing!"
Zheng Xiulan, "..."
She felt like Su Laosan had scolded her several times over.
"I'm too lazy to argue with you all here, I'm going to see my grandson!" Unable to win the argument or the scolding, Zheng Xiulan left angrily to go see her grandson.
The remaining members of the Su family and the police guarded the entrance.
A group of people waited for hours on end, and they all felt that there was little hope left.
Boss Su's eyes were red the whole time.
Su Laosan grew increasingly agitated, pacing back and forth in the corridor, muttering, "Isn't it said that wicked people live for a thousand years and won't die so young? Su Hongying, you still have a mountain of unresolved debts to settle. You're not allowed to die, do you hear me! You better live to settle these debts..."
Three hours later, as dawn broke, the sound of firecrackers came from afar, signaling the arrival of the first day of the Lunar New Year in 1989.
The door to the emergency room finally opened at that moment.
