In the evening, Lu Jingshen came over. Ai Xiaoxia told him about going home, and she also completed the discharge procedures for Xiaobao. They took a car back to their hometown together.
The days are short in this season, and it was already dark when I got home.
Lu Guojiu and Li Shaofen both came out to ask about Xiaobao's condition. Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen also told the old couple that Xiaobao had recovered well and just needed to be on IV drip for a few more days.
After dinner, Ai Xiaoxia went back to the room to clean up the dirty clothes from the past few days and soaked the ones to be washed in a basin.
Lu Jingshen helped her wash.
Lying on the kang at night, Ai Xiaoxia felt that nowhere was as comfortable as home. Although it was convenient to wash and dress in a hotel these two days, she just wanted to come back. She didn't know when it started, but she had already regarded this place as her home.
The next morning, Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen accompanied Lu Lin to the hospital again, because Ai Xiaoxia was afraid that Zhang Tingting would cause trouble again, and she also wanted to talk to Su Changzhu about the market starting tomorrow. Anyway, Ai Xiaoxia was at home, so she just had to accompany Lu Lin to the hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, Lu Lin held Xiaobao and waited for the injection. As the seasons changed, there were many children getting injections in the hospital, so they had to wait for a while.
When it was Xiaobao's turn, Zhang Tingting walked in and said to the nurse who was preparing to give the injection, "Xiao Li, this is my relative. Let me do it."
Nurse Xiaoli was about to stand up to make room when she heard Zhang Tingting say that, but Ai Xiaoxia grabbed her and said, "No need to change. It's better to give the injection to someone you don't know. Children cry more easily when they see someone they know."
This is true, so Xiaoli continues.
Zhang Tingting reached out to grab the needle from Nurse Xiaoli: "Let me do it."
Nurse Xiaoli was a little confused. Why did the aura feel wrong? But they were relatives, so she let go.
Zhang Tingting held the needle in her hand and sneered at Ai Xiaoxia: "This is a hospital, where do you think your home is? Dean Jiang is in a meeting, so you have no one to rely on."
Ai Xiaoxia slapped Zhang Tingting in the face. "I never need a backer. I am my own backer. I think you haven't been beaten enough. I'm making it clear now. Our little treasure doesn't need you to give him acupuncture. If you dare to try, unless you succeed in one go, I will beat you so hard that you won't even recognize your own mother."
This loud and clear slap made everyone around quiet down, and everyone looked at them.
Zhang Tingting's head was buzzing from the beating. After she recovered, she took the needle in her hand and stabbed Ai Xiaoxia.
Lu Jingshen grabbed Zhang Tingting's wrist and pushed her away: "If you dare to hurt my wife, I will make you live a life worse than death."
Zhang Tingting stumbled and nearly fell. After a moment's thought, she laid back on the ground, crying to the patient's family members nearby: "Everyone, look! How can a patient's family member do this? They hit a nurse. This is unjust."
Ai Xiaoxia stopped Lu Jingshen who was about to step forward. She said that she couldn't be impulsive at this time and couldn't solve personal grudges alone. She had to use public opinion.
So she stood among the onlookers and said to everyone, "My mother-in-law and Nurse Zhang's mother-in-law are sisters-in-law. They have conflicts, and these conflicts are not a big deal. But Nurse Zhang, in order to please her mother-in-law, has lost sight of the distinction between public and private matters. A few days ago, my sister-in-law's child was injured and in critical condition, but she used her official position to delay finding a doctor. The child almost bled to death. Now, it's clearly not her responsibility to give my nephew an injection, but she's rushing to do it. Do you think I would dare use such a cruel person who wouldn't even let a child go?"
When the patients and their families around heard this, they all started pointing fingers at Zhang Tingting, because people might not care much about small things, but it is a different story when it comes to life, especially for such a young child.
And all the people who come here are patients, and they have patients at home. Who wouldn’t be afraid of meeting an unethical doctor or nurse?
Soon the discussions of these people attracted the head nurse.
The head nurse also knew about Xiaobao's incident a few days ago. Because Jiang Qingru had followed her to the municipal hospital, the news had basically spread. The nurse at the registration desk was a bit loose-lipped. Of course, the nurse also had selfish motives. She liked Vice President Jiang Qingru, and Zhang Tingting, a married woman, was shamelessly sticking to him every day, so she spread all of Zhang Tingting's ugly deeds.
The head nurse frowned when she saw Zhang Tingting lying on the ground: "Zhang Tingting, don't you want to become a regular employee?"
Ai Xiaoxia was a little excited when she heard this. She had previously thought Zhang Tingting was already a full-time nurse. So, she hadn't officially become a full-time nurse yet? Or perhaps the paperwork hadn't been completed yet? In any case, now was her chance to give Zhang Tingting a taste of her own medicine.
She looked at the badge on the nurse's chest that read Head Nurse Yuan Hong, and she quickly said, "Head Nurse, I want to report Zhang Tingting for abusing her public office to retaliate against patients. I'll write the report shortly. I cannot tolerate such a person being a nurse in our village. We cannot allow such an unethical person to do the work of saving lives and healing the wounded."
The onlookers also echoed and said that people like Zhang Tingting were not worthy of being a nurse.
Zhang Tingting was frightened at this time. She got up from the ground and looked at the head nurse: "Head nurse, I was wrong. I didn't think too much about it. I just couldn't stand their family."
The head nurse frowned. "You're a nurse. Haven't you memorized the Nightingale Pledge? Do you know what it means to be a qualified nurse? You don't have to go to work these few days. Reflect on yourself."
Zhang Tingting was scared this time because work was her biggest advantage and she relied on it to maintain her reputation.
She was not too stupid. She knew that he had no chance of winning if he continued to make a fuss. She might as well find a way to keep her job and not affect her regularization. The formalization procedures would be completed in the next two days. Even if it was done through gifts or backdoors, it had to be done. She could only agree to go out and discuss countermeasures with her husband.
After watching Zhang Tingting leave, the head nurse said to Ai Xiaoxia, Lu Jingshen, and the others, "I'm sorry. I will investigate Zhang Tingting's case, report to the hospital, and give you a satisfactory answer."
Lu Jingshen said, "Then I'll have to trouble the head nurse."
The head nurse looked at the needle tube that had fallen to the ground and said, "Wait a minute, I'll come over and give the child the injection myself."
Lu Jingshen thanked the head nurse.
The head nurse maintained order, persuaded the onlookers to disperse, and went to get a new infusion tube.
Lu Lin looked at Ai Xiaoxia and suddenly smiled: "Sister-in-law, how come you are so amazing? I really admire you more and more."
Ai Xiaoxia also laughed: "If you don't want to be bullied, then you have to be strong."
Lu Lin shook her head. "I don't want to be bullied either, but when I encounter problems, my mind becomes a mess. I guess being tough is useless."
Ai Xiaoxia said: "It's enough for our family to have someone as powerful as me. If all of them were that powerful, we would be a den of female bandits."
Lu Lin and Su Changzhu were amused by Ai Xiaoxia.
Lu Jingshen's big hand unconsciously touched Ai Xiaoxia's head. He didn't say anything. He had too much to say and didn't know what to say at the moment. But the more he saw Ai Xiaoxia like this, the more distressed he felt, because he knew that Ai Xiaoxia had suffered too much grievance, which honed her current character.
Ai Xiaoxia looked up at Lu Jingshen and smiled, "I'm fine. Let's go home later. I'll write a letter of denunciation to Zhang Tingting. She's dreaming of getting a permanent position."
Lu Jingshen nodded: "I'll write with you."
After a while, the head nurse came and gave Xiaobao an injection herself.
