Chapter 44: Don't argue with a fool
"Look at what time it is! How many patients are waiting outside? Can you leave five minutes earlier next time? You don't have to be on time!"
"Liao Hong...what are you doing? You're making a noise so early in the morning and making a fool of yourself for everyone." Zhang Juan came out to smooth things over.
"I'm not arguing with her, I'm stating the facts to her! Look, aren't so many people waiting for her?" Liao Hong confidently confronted Xu Nuo and even confronted Zhang Juan, "Sister Zhang, I notice that you're always on her side in everything you do. Obviously, we've known each other longer, right? How come you've learned to be partial?"
Zhang Juan: "I..."
I just need to say these words!
Listen to what you are saying. You are simply digging a hole for yourself and planting thorns. You don't know whose foot will be pricked later!
Hearing this, Xu Nuo smiled faintly: "Sister Zhang, don't bother with her! She was so angry that she gets angry when she sees someone! She is emotionally unstable, so let's be more tolerant."
When Liao Hong saw Xu Nuo's calm face, she was furious: "Who did you say ate firecrackers? You are the one who ate firecrackers! I am emotionally stable, but I just can't stand seeing you being so dedicated to your job!"
Xu Nuo seemed to have heard a huge joke and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"What are you laughing at? You're crazy!" Liao Hong became angrier and angrier the more she scolded.
Xu Nuo didn't respond, but just changed into a white coat and opened the door of the clinic.
As soon as the door opened, the patients outside rushed in and surrounded Xu Nuo in an instant.
"Everyone, please line up! You see, we have so many doctors here. You don't have to wait for just me. Others can also see the patient! You can go find Dr. Liao. Didn't you all go to her before I came?" Xu Nuo said with a smile.
As a result, a bunch of people lined up as she requested, but no one went to find Liao Hong.
Liao Hong had been angry about this matter since early morning, and now that Xu Nuo had said so, no one had come yet.
She felt a little embarrassed.
"Come on, split into two teams, one team stays with me, and the other team goes to Dr. Liao. If anyone wants to see a Chinese doctor, go to Dr. Chai and Dr. Zhang."
Although Zhang Juan and Chai Xiuli also see patients, they are more knowledgeable about traditional Chinese medicine.
Another shout went out, and except for two older people, one went to find Zhang Juan, and the other went to find Chai Xiuli, there was no one at Liao Hong's place.
"Come here, what are you standing there for! Is she the only doctor in this clinic? Am I not a human being?" Liao Hong couldn't help but get angry.
At this time, a young man in the team said, "Doctor Xu, you don't need to persuade us. We are not going to see her! We are here for you!"
"Right! Let me put it this way, we don't usually treat patients here. We only came here because we heard you were here and because of your reputation!"
Hearing this, Xu Nuo smiled dimples: "Thank you all for your recognition of me! I am good at treating children, so if you have sleeping children, you can ask me to take care of them first. I also don't want to waste your time and make you wait in line for too long!"
"Doctor Xu, you are a beautiful, kind, patient and gentle person. My child told me that if he gets sick, he will come to you! As for Doctor Liao, I think she is worthless. She speaks harshly and aggressively every day. My son went to her twice when he was sick, and he had nightmares every time he came back!" said a young military wife.
"Why?"
"Oh! I'm so scared! I don't have any patience for the child!"
Liao Hong was so angry that her face turned red when she heard these people start to criticize her in front of her: "Do you have any conscience? Haven't I been treating you all these years? Didn't I just speak a little rashly? Did it delay my treatment for you?"
"The key is that your skills are not good enough!" The young man spoke again, and seemed to have a lot of complaints about Liao Hong. "The last time you sewed up the wound for me, the stitches were messier than the ones my mother makes on the soles of shoes! The wound is not on you, right? Sew it randomly. It doesn't matter if it looks good or not. Just seal it up, right?"
"You..." Liao Hong's eyes turned red with anger, "Then don't come to see me for medical treatment in the future!"
"I didn't intend to come to see you in the first place." The young man spoke bluntly, and he directly stood up for Xu Nuo and confronted her, "Just now I heard you whining and scolding Doctor Xu in the yard. Did a little girl provoke you? She's not late! Who do you think you are to scold her? Why do they all line up to wait for her but not you? You should question her professional level and service attitude!"
"Okay! Young man, you're right! I support you! I'm already so old, and I went to her for treatment but she scolded me like a grandson! I was so angry that I couldn't even eat! Now we can go see Doctor Xu, why bother with her!"
The words of the masses were very powerful, and every word was like a knife stabbing Liao Hong's heart.
The spinner that had been flying in the air for so many years hit Liao Hong right between the eyebrows.
How she treated everyone in the past is how everyone treats her now.
Seeing that Liao Hong was getting embarrassed and anxious, and that a quarrel would soon break out if she continued, Xu Nuo stopped while he was ahead and said hastily, "Let's stop talking. We're all here to see a doctor, so keep quiet! This way I can treat you properly!"
"Okay, okay, we'll all listen to Doctor Xu!"
The morning passed in a busy manner, and when it was almost time for lunch, Xu Nuo finally finished his morning work.
"Are you tired?" Zhang Juan said with a smile, "You've become famous in just a few days. Everyone comes here just for you."
Xu Nuo wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It's okay. It's not that tiring. If I can help everyone with their illnesses, I'll be satisfied."
Liao Hong took out her lunch box and prepared to eat. When she heard Xu Nuo's words, she started to scold her: "Who do you think you are? You've become arrogant just by seeing a few patients in the clinic. If you have the guts, go to the military hospital!"
Chai Xiuli, who was always taciturn, also spoke up: "Liao Hong, I think you are really angry! Don't always blame others for everything, look for the reasons in yourself. You have such a terrible temper. Look at Xiao Xu, she is always gentle and soft-spoken, how can she be like you."
Seeing that Chai Xiuli was speaking in Xu Nuo's favor, Liao Hong felt very unbalanced: "Sister Chai, she is the most scheming person!!!"
She had been silent just now, allowing herself to be scolded. Liao Hong thought she didn't know what to say!
As a result, she had already noticed that the patients outside the window were listening to the conversation inside.
She didn't say a word, but just kept yelling and being aggressive in the room.
As soon as someone came in, she guided the patient to her side. People thought she was kind-hearted, but it turned out that she was clearly trying to deceive her!
She should have figured it out long ago. She made such a big promise in the service center that day, and she choked her so much that she couldn't speak for many times!
Today she kept silent in front of others and pretended to be weak.
Now, she didn't say a single harsh word, but those patients couldn't sit still anymore. Each of their words was like a knife, stabbing her heart!
This person is the worst!
After hearing what she said, Xu Nuo pursed his lips and smiled.
What? Liao Hong is allowed to hurt people here, but she is not allowed to fight back?
There is no such thing in the world!
Chai Xiuli shook her head and said, "You just like to complain about others. If your professional level is really high, there won't be so many people waiting for Xiao Xu to see a doctor. If your service attitude is good, people won't prefer to wait in line for Xiao Xu instead of looking for you."
Liao Hong had been bearing the blow the whole morning, and now even Chai Xiuli was talking about her. She couldn't help it and said something hurtful: "That's better than you! You're so old, and you still don't have patients! You're just a crow laughing at a pig!"
Chai Xiuli didn't expect that Liao Hong's temper would get worse and she would bite anyone she saw. She was also angry and simply shut up.
Xu Nuo took the opportunity to comfort her: "Sister Chai, thank you for speaking for me! I'm not angry, and neither are you! There is a saying that goes, only argue with the wise, not with fools! We will never reason with idiots!"
Chai Xiuli was originally angry, but after hearing this, she couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Okay, I'll remember it! I have to learn from the young people!"
Zhang Juan couldn't help but pat her chest: This little Xu is really amazing! His little mouth is like poison, if he doesn't say it, he won't say it, but once he says it, it can pierce your heart!
Liao Hong was so angry that she wanted to lose her temper, but then the director of the health center, Liu Lanqin, came in. She had heard about what happened that morning and criticized Liao Hong.
Feeling aggrieved, Liao Hong burst into tears and became much more obedient in the afternoon.
In the evening, when it was time to get off work, Xu Nuo stood up, holding his aching waist. Zhang Juan saw him and came over to ask, "What's wrong? Are you tired?"
Xu Nuo smiled and shook his head: "No, nothing. I just feel a little uncomfortable..."
"Uncomfortable... Oh! I understand!" Zhang Juan smiled ambiguously, "We just got married, I can understand..."
