Chapter 36
Jiang Wu asked the shopkeeper to step back first, and sat in the private room to look through the ledger.
The shopkeeper sneakily glanced at her, seeing that she didn't look suspicious at all, so he obediently backed away.
After he left, Jiang Wu took the account book and flipped through a few pages before throwing it on the table.
"What's wrong, miss?"
"The account book is fake." A cold light flashed across her eyes. If she wasn't someone who was familiar with the account book, she might be deceived.
"For fear that I would see it, they really took great pains."
"Slaves go to them to settle accounts!"
"No hurry." Jiang Wu called Hong Ying, "If I remember correctly, he was appointed by Jiang Boen later?"
"Yes, the original shopkeeper of this medical center was used by the old owner for many years, but was driven away by Jiang Boen three years ago on the charge of embezzling money, so he was replaced by the current shopkeeper Zhou. Now that I think about it, it must be Framed!" Hongying was so angry that Jiang Boen was so ambitious that he secretly eradicated the old people left behind by the old patriarch one by one.
Jiang Wu's gloomy eyes drooped slightly, thinking about something thoughtfully.
Just then, there was a commotion outside.
"Where is the stinky beggar, get out quickly! Don't dirty the place of our medical center." Shopkeeper Zhou looked at the ragged woman holding the child in front of him with disgust.
The woman was wearing tattered straw sandals, and her coarse linen clothes were covered with patches. She looked poor and distressed, and begged with tears in her eyes, "Please, my child is really dying."
"What does the life and death of your child have to do with me? Do you think this is a charity hall? If you don't go away, someone will beat you out!"
"I, I can afford the consultation fee, and I won't take advantage of you," she panicked and took out a small handful of copper coins wrapped in rags from her bosom, and begged in a low voice: "I ran to many medical clinics. He said he was hopeless, so he could only come here for a try, please ask the doctor to show him."
Shopkeeper Zhou looked at those copper plates with disdain, and rolled his eyes shrewdly and greedily, "Okay, the consultation fee here is 20 taels of silver, which is not expensive, as long as you pay the silver, we will arrange a doctor for you immediately."
"20 taels of silver?!" The woman's voice trembled, and her tearful eyes widened suddenly. The poor family's half-year expenses are only two taels of silver. It is a lion to ask for a price before even diagnosing the child's illness. Wide open.
The shopkeeper took a look at her beauty, and said with a lewd smile: "Are you going to sell yourself or accompany customers, isn't this money easy to get together?"
He was sure that the woman had no way out, so he deliberately charged a sky-high consultation fee.
"you you!"
The woman's face was flushed, she didn't know whether she was angry or humiliated, "How can there be such an expensive consultation fee, aren't you taking advantage of the fire?"
"Who are you scolding for taking advantage of the fire? Keep your mouth clean for me. A stinky beggar is picking and choosing. If you can't cure it, get out!"
Such blatant insults made the woman extremely embarrassed, but seeing the uncomfortable child in her arms pulling her skirt, she still took a deep breath and made up her mind, "Okay, 20 taels is 20 taels, as long as it can save my life Son, no matter how much money you have, I will collect it for you."
Unexpectedly, shopkeeper Zhou suddenly smiled coldly, and retorted: "It's a pity that I don't want to treat you anymore. I won't give you any money. Your child deserves it if he dies. Whoever made him a brainless mother, go away."
No mother could tolerate such a vicious curse. The woman was so angry that she trembled all over, her eyes were bloodshot all over, and her lower lip was almost bloody from being bitten. "You, you are really deceiving people!"
If it wasn't for her not being able to restore her identity now, she would definitely make this clinic and the people behind it pay the price in the future!
"Get out or not?" The shopkeeper Zhou showed a fierce look, and the stick holding the broom was about to hit the woman's head.
The woman had nowhere to hide, so she could only tightly protect the child in her arms.
"stop."
Jiang Wu came out in time.
Shopkeeper Zhou's hands froze, and he was forced to put down the broom when he saw her, and said with a sneer, "Aren't you still looking at the account book, so you're looking at it so soon?"
Jiang Wu's expression was as cold as ice, and she looked at him with piercing eyes. Shopkeeper Zhou seemed to have a thorn in his back, and he lowered his head in a guilty manner, not daring to look directly at her.
The woman was stunned for a moment, seeing Jiang Wu walking towards her, "You are..."
Jiang Wu didn't speak, and saw the child in the woman's arms, about two or three years old, in very bad condition, it seemed to have a high fever, sweat was all over his forehead, his eyes were closed tightly and his lips were blue.
She immediately ordered the clerk beside her in a deep voice: "Go and call the doctor, and arrange medical treatment for the child immediately."
"Yes!"
"Wait!" The shopkeeper Zhou was not happy when he heard it, and he was quite dissatisfied and stopped him meanly: "She can't afford the consultation fee, what kind of doctor is she?"
Jiang Wu couldn't believe that he was so upright, and her voice couldn't help but be extraordinarily severe: "It's a matter of human life, are you still here to care about money?"
"Why can't you care about it? You are doing this just to make others think that you are kind." He had a sarcasm on his face, as if he thought he had seen through Jiang Wu's hypocrisy, "We opened the clinic to make money, just like you, The medical center has closed down long ago, why not turn it into a charity hall!"
Jiang Wu suddenly smiled, but her eyes were cold and sarcastically frightening, "The difference between humans and animals is that humans can empathize, but animals can't, do you understand?"
Let him stand by and object to the sky, Jiang Wu just told the staff: "Take her to the doctor."
After all, the man listened to Jiang Wu's orders more, and said to the woman: "Your side please."
The woman's eyes were sore, and she bowed again and again to express her gratitude, "Thank you, miss!"
Shopkeeper Zhou's face darkened completely.
"Do you think she will be grateful to you if you help her? If the young master is here, he will never pretend to be a good person like you and waste the resources of the hospital."
Hearing that it was Jiang Boen again, she let out a sneer, and said fiercely to shopkeeper Zhou: "The medical center belongs to me, even if it closes down and wastes it, that's my business, don't talk about Jiang Boen, what are you worthy of pointing fingers in front of me? "
Speaking of this, Jiang Wu smiled again: "Of course, I hope that one day when you are seriously ill and have no money for medical treatment, you can also meet someone like you."
With how bullying and snobbish he is now, who has offended many people, the reputation of the clinic will be ruined by him sooner or later, and then it will really be difficult to get along.
Shopkeeper Zhou's vision is too narrow, and he can't see through the money that is easy to make, but if the good reputation accumulated through years of hard work is gone, the medical clinic will come to an end.
Shopkeeper Zhou has always bullied others, and has never been so insulted before, his face turned blue.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the door.
"Ah Wu, why are you here?"
Jiang Wu narrowed her eyes wearily, she didn't expect Jiang Boen to come right after she finished talking.
Shopkeeper Zhou's eyes lit up, as if he had found a backer, "Master!"
