At this time, Zou Wei's wife said sarcastically:
"Oh, Mr. Meng, you make it sound so easy. Doesn't medical treatment cost money? If the hospital can't cure it, what other solutions can you come up with? Don't waste your money and still not be able to save the patient. That would be a joke!"
She folded her arms across her chest, her face full of mockery.
Ultimately it was all about money. Mr. Meng's originally kind face turned livid in an instant.
His eyes were wide open, as if they were about to spit fire, and he shouted sternly:
"I have been a doctor for most of my life. What kind of difficult and complicated diseases have I not seen? It is not your turn to point fingers and make random doubts!
I am here to help out of my compassion as a doctor. If you only care about money and don't even care about your own relatives, then you are unworthy of being a human being!"
Mr. Meng was very angry.
Meng Xunzhou hurried forward to help Grandpa Meng, "Grandpa, are you okay?"
...
...
Mr. Meng shook his head.
After being rebuked by Mr. Meng, everyone in the Zou family was speechless for a moment, and they became angry and nervous.
Zou Wei's wife wanted to say something else, but Zou Wei quickly reached out and pulled her back.
Zou Wei's wife looked impatient and pulled her arm out of Zou Wei's hand.
She yelled at the top of her voice: "Why are you pulling me? I just said two truths, and I didn't say anything wrong."
Seeing that she was so ungrateful, Zou Wei became furious.
He lowered his voice and said in a threatening tone: "You'd better keep your mouth shut. Don't be so careless. You can't afford to offend Mr. Meng. His medical skills and prestige are respected by everyone in our area. Don't make trouble here!"
"He's just an old widower. How can I be afraid of him?"
Zou Wei's wife didn't take what Zou Wei said seriously at all. She glanced at Mr. Meng with disgust.
The look was full of undisguised contempt.
Meng Guanru and Fu Shuxian looked unhappy.
Meng Xunzhou's face suddenly became extremely gloomy. A chill emanated from his body and he looked at Zou Tao coldly.
"Uncle Zou, are you just going to let your family insult my grandfather like this?"
Zou Tao's face turned pale in an instant and he waved his hands quickly, his voice trembling a little.
"No, absolutely not. Mr. Meng, I, Zou Tao, have absolutely no disrespectful thoughts towards you. Don't worry, I will handle the matter with my own family members, and I will give you a satisfactory explanation today."
As he said that, he strode over, raised his hand and slapped Zou Wei's wife hard in the face with a "slap".
The slap was so powerful that Zou Wei's wife's face instantly became red and swollen.
"Sister-in-law, if you don't want to stay in this house any longer, then go get a divorce from Wei today! Otherwise, if you continue to be restless, don't blame me, your brother, for being ruthless."
Zou Wei's voice became a little hoarse because of anger.
Zou Wei's wife, who had been slapped, was a little confused. Just as she came to her senses, she heard Zou Tao asking her to divorce Zou Wei.
She instantly became like a raging lion, not caring about her swollen face, and started yelling with her teeth bared.
"Who do you think you are? Why are you here to tell me whether or not Awei and I should get a divorce? Do you think you can bully others just because you are the eldest brother?"
"Why? Just because I'm the eldest of our Zou family, just because I raised Wei with all my heart, just because the monthly household allowances for you and your wife since you got married have all been taken by Wei from me, your eldest brother, and you say I have no right?"
Zou Tao's eyes were red, veins bulged on his forehead, and he roared word by word.
After he finished speaking, he turned and looked at Zou Wei.
"Ah Wei, we must give Elder Meng an explanation for what happened today. Either you ask your wife to apologize to Elder Meng in public, or... you divorce this ungrateful woman. Otherwise, you and her get out of the Zou family together!"
Zou Tao's attitude was firm and there was no room for negotiation.
Zou Wei frowned, his face turned pale and blue, and he stretched out his hand to pull his wife forward.
"Why don't you go and apologize to Mr. Meng!"
"Why should I apologize? What did I say wrong?"
Zou Wei's wife was still being stubborn and sticking her neck out, refusing to give in.
Zou Wei gnashed his teeth and moved closer, almost whispering into her ear: "Do you really want to get a divorce? You have to think about it carefully. If you get divorced, will your parents, who have always doted on your brother, still accept you?"
"Divorce? Are you really going to divorce me for an outsider?"
It was not until now that Zou Wei's wife realized that the Zou brothers were not trying to scare her, and a hint of panic finally appeared on her face.
Old Meng's eyes swept coldly over them all, and finally he walked into the house with the medicine without saying a word.
He looked down at the medicine in the bowl.
Because of their fuss, the medicine is almost gone.
Fortunately, when he came, he specially put the food in an aluminum lunch box and wrapped it with thick cotton cloth, so the temperature was just right at this time.
It’s just right to drink it now.
Meng Xunzhou, Song Shishi and others also followed him into the house.
If it weren't for the fact that Zou Tao's wife had always taken good care of Old Man Meng, they would never have cared about this family's troubles today.
Ever since Grandma Meng Xunzhou passed away, Old Man Meng has lived alone.
Although he can cure diseases and save lives, he is not very good at cooking.
When Zou Tao's wife saw this, she would make some delicious food every now and then and send it to Grandpa Meng.
Mr. Meng naturally appreciated her kindness.
Fu Shuxian stepped forward and fed the medicine to Zou Tao's wife.
When Mr. Meng saw Zou Tao enter the room, he carefully reminded him of some precautions and then stood up and prepared to leave.
As soon as he walked out of the house, he looked up and saw Zou Wei's wife kneeling down in front of him with a plop.
"Mr. Meng, I'm sorry. I offended you with my words just now. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with a country woman like me."
After all, Zou Wei's wife was afraid of divorce, so she had to give in and admit her mistake.
There was a sobbing tone in her voice and tear marks on her face. Compared with the arrogant look she had when they first entered the yard, she looked very miserable.
But Mr. Meng didn't take her seriously at all and walked straight past her towards the gate.
Zou Wei's wife gritted her teeth and clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms, but she didn't dare say anything excessive.
When Zou Tao saw that his wife looked much better after drinking the medicine, he hurriedly chased after her.
"Mr. Meng, I really owe you a lot today. I will come to thank you in person someday."
Zou Tao's face was full of guilt and gratitude.
If Mr. Meng hadn't taken action today, his wife would have been in danger.
Zou Wei's wife, this spendthrift woman, not only almost killed her own wife, but also offended Mr. Meng.
If Zou Wei doesn't divorce this woman, he won't care about their life or death in the future.
He also had to find a way to ease the relationship with Mr. Meng. He couldn't let a rift between him and Mr. Meng arise because of them.
Zou Tao became more and more determined in his decision.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Meng simply said, "Take good care of your wife," and left without looking back.
