Chapter 165: Old Man
However, Zhao's mother was not willing to give in. She felt that the doctor was scolding her, so she suddenly rushed over and scratched the doctor's face with her claws, leaving the female doctor's face covered with scratches.
Her action was so sudden that no one was prepared. Erhe was the one who reacted the fastest. She reached out and pushed Zhao's mother away, "Don't do that."
"What's wrong with hitting her? Didn't you hear what she said? My son is only in his early twenties and she made him look like an old man. She cursed my son, so why can't I hit him?" Mother Zhao pointed at Erhe. To be more precise, she was even more angry when she saw Erhe's pretty face.
"Get out of here. I haven't settled the score with you yet. Just wait for me."
Zhao's mother also had to prioritize, so she planned to settle accounts with the doctor first. After all, the doctor said that her daughter-in-law's fetus was unstable, and she had to make the doctor change his words.
Otherwise, how could this be blamed on Erhe?
The two grandchildren have been lost and there is no way to recover them, so it would be nice to get some compensation.
After all, it costs money for Sun Hongying to stay in the hospital, and her son doesn't have a proper job.
Zhao's mother had a good idea and directed her criticism at the doctor. "I'm telling you, you deserved it if I hit you. You're a doctor, and you're talking nonsense... I'm going to tell your boss and have the hospital fire you."
She warned fiercely, jumping up and pointing her finger at the doctor, almost poking him in the cheek.
The doctor's face was already red, and seeing Zhao's mother jumping up and down, he gritted his teeth and was furious. "I still have the medical records from that time. You can't just deny it with just a word. The man who accompanied the pregnant woman to the hospital for the checkup that day was clearly a middle-aged man in his early forties. Our hospital doesn't see many women pregnant with twins all year round, so I have a deep impression of the situation. The pregnant woman's fetus is not in good condition, so I even consulted our director!"
Mother Zhao was stunned for a moment. This situation made her confused.
He turned around and asked Sun Hongying, "What's the matter? Did you ask your father to accompany you to the hospital?"
Sun Hongying lowered her head and her face was very pale.
This scene is really a weird one.
Wang Xiu and Su's mother looked at each other and thought that this was not the case. It was quite common for a married daughter to be accompanied by her mother when she went to the hospital for a pregnant check-up. However, it was rare for her father to accompany her. After all, it was a daughter's matter, and it was more convenient for women to discuss things with each other.
"Doctor, why don't you take a look and see if the person who accompanied Sun Hongying for the examination is here." He Zheng crossed his arms and glanced at the people from the Zhao family with an ambiguous look. With the upturned corners of his mouth, he looked a little evil.
Erhe had guessed an idea before, but she thought it was too melodramatic.
But now...
After hearing what He Zheng said, the doctor thought for a moment and slowly shook his head: "How can I remember something that happened a month ago so clearly? I just remember that person seemed to be... wearing clothes from some factory, navy blue, with words on the chest..."
"Well," He Zheng curled his lips, glanced at the man standing against the wall, and nodded his chin. "He's wearing navy blue work clothes with the words 'Steel Plant' on the chest. He's in his early forties... Uncle Zhao, that person, couldn't be you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes unconsciously turned to Zhao's father.
Father Zhao's hands dropped to his side. Facing He Zheng's questioning, his expression was flustered. "How, how?"
"I know that," Su's mother said. "Sun Hongying told my eldest son about this. I know her family situation. Her family is just like ours. They all work in the fields. They're not city workers."
"Well," Wang Xiu immediately responded, looking at Zhao's father and saying, "Old Zhao, since you accompanied Sun Hongying to the hospital for the examination, why didn't you tell me earlier? Since you were also in the hospital during the examination, you must have heard the doctor's instructions. Tell me the truth, isn't my Erhe being wronged?"
"Old Zhao,"
Why are things getting weirder and weirder?
Mother Zhao couldn't hold it in any longer, so she ran back to her husband and pulled his sleeve, "Don't talk nonsense, our two grandsons are gone..."
Father Zhao ignored her and continued, echoing Wang Xiu's words, "Yes, that's what happened. Look how I forgot about it because I was careless. The doctor said the fetus was unstable and told me to rest. I was too busy, so I forgot."
"Why didn't you say that earlier?" Wang Xiu was also angry, and added, "Now that the situation has been clarified, your family should stop spreading rumors outside, saying that my Erhe is harming your family. My Erhe is a civilized person and would not do such a thing."
"Yes, yes," said Zhao's father.
Zhao's mother and Zhao Yang wanted to refute, but Zhao's father glared at them fiercely, forcing them to shut up.
Zhao's father controls the family's finances and has the final say in the family. Although Zhao's mother is usually aggressive in front of the villagers, she is quite docile at home.
"That,"
Wang Xiu looked at Erhe. She also felt that her daughter-in-law didn't talk much today. "Erhe, do you have anything else to say?"
Erhe first glanced at He Zheng.
She always felt that this matter was not over yet and He Zheng should have a backup plan.
But He Zheng smiled and gestured for her to speak.
After thinking for a moment, Erhe said directly, "The Zhao family apologized to me and clarified in the village that this matter has nothing to do with me. Don't portray me as a vicious woman. I won't offend others unless they offend me. Moreover, even if there are grudges between adults, don't harm children. Little lives are innocent. Sun Hongying, it's best that you aborted your twins because they were not developing well. If you are trying to extort money from me to get rid of the children, you will suffer retribution."
Sun Hongying's half-long hair covered her face, and her body trembled when she heard this.
Erhe sneered and continued, "Now that Li Dong and Aunt Su are here, and there are so many people in the hospital who can serve as my witnesses, this matter has nothing to do with me. I won't argue with you in the hospital right now, so as not to affect other patients. Let's go home first. When we get to the village, you can go to the village radio station and apologize to me in front of the whole village."
"What you thought," Zhao's mother was unwilling to do so. Asking her to apologize to a junior would be a complete loss of face.
"Okay, apologize, we apologize." Father Zhao interrupted her and used a threatening tone to tell Mother Zhao to shut up.
"Okay, let's put it this way. Erhe is right. There are other patients in the hospital. Let's go back first."
It was so exciting that other patients and their families came over to watch the fun, and the corridor outside was crowded with people.
Everyone finds it strange to be treated like a monkey.
Having said this, everyone dispersed.
Erhe also walked over to He Zheng and asked quietly, "Is that all?"
He Zheng smiled profoundly.
"Mom, let's go."
He shouted and led the way outside.
The onlookers dispersed.
Erhe, He Zheng and others also walked out of the ward and went to the corridor towards the stairs.
Mother Su thought about it and muttered, "It's strange. Sun Hongying is pregnant, but she didn't let Zhao Yang accompany her to the hospital for a check-up..."
"Excuse me, please make way!"
Suddenly, a middle-aged man, also wearing a steel factory uniform, came in with a bag of eggs, about twenty of them.
He ran upstairs in a hurry and almost bumped into He Zheng.
He Zheng stepped aside, smiled and said nothing.
"Why is this person so anxious?" Wang Xiu complained.
No one thought much about it. After all, the hospital is a place where people either get sick or get pregnant and give birth, which are both matters of great sorrow or joy, so it is normal to be anxious and busy.
Just as several people were about to go downstairs.
Suddenly, I heard a clear voice coming from upstairs.
"Old Zhao, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm late. You said that last month when we were drinking together, you happily announced that you had a son in your old age, a pair of twins. The words are still ringing in my ears, how come this child is gone..."
