Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 396 There is always injustice in the world

"Where are you going in such a hurry? Pay attention to the road next time..."

After entering the door, Zhou Wang rubbed his sore ribs and said helplessly.

"It's past the time for dressing change, and since the nurses haven't come yet, I want to go find them."

Linlin still didn't dare to look at Zhou Wang, she lowered her head slightly and explained in a low voice.

The door blocked Zhou Wang's view just now, and only now could he see Linlin's full appearance.

Her hair was tied up in a high ponytail, and her forehead was smooth and full. One or two naughty strands of hair hung down, just touching her crescent-shaped eyebrows. Further down was a small nose with a few freckles and a pair of thin lips.

Because of her thin and slightly pointed oval face, the girl's facial features are still a little immature, but they can no longer conceal her budding charm. If she had fully grown up, she would probably be the so-called ceiling of the "pure desire style".

She completely inherited the excellent genes of her mother when she was young as Zhou Wang remembered, and they were almost cut from the same mold.

The only thing that made Zhou Wang frown slightly was her attire: a washed-out cotton-white sports school uniform, a pair of somewhat mismatched fleece pants, and canvas shoes with the "Double Star" logo, which were probably the only pair of shoes the girl could show off, but signs of wear and tear could still be clearly seen on the edges.

Zhou Wang secretly thought that he was negligent. He only thought about getting Sister Xiaoyu to come to the Magic City for better treatment, but forgot to take care of their living expenses. Even if they didn't have to spend much money on food and accommodation, he should at least buy Linlin some new clothes...

Perhaps because she saw Zhou Wang was slow to speak, Linlin secretly glanced at him. Fortunately, Zhou Wang noticed and retracted his gaze in time. His face returned to normal and he smiled:
"Isn't there a call bell in the ward? You've been here for so long, you don't even know this, do you?"

"I know, but I pressed it several times and no one came, so..."

Linlin looked a little anxious. "Mom seems to be in pain again. I'm afraid she can't bear it."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wang raised his eyebrows in surprise and then walked into the ward.

After passing the corridor with the bathroom, you will first see an open living room. In addition to a TV, sofa, etc., it is also equipped with fitness facilities such as treadmills. There is also a kitchen for cooking on one side, as well as a lounge for caregivers.

On a single hospital bed that was as big as an ordinary large bed, Sister Xiaoyu, wearing a white hospital gown, was lying on her side. Her face looked more haggard than two months ago. Her eyes were half-open and half-closed, and she was moaning in pain.

Zhou Wang was shocked when he saw this, and hurried forward. While observing Sister Xiaoyu's expression, he asked Linlin, "Has your mother not shown any improvement since she was transferred to the hospital?"

Sister Xiaoyu's condition was indeed different from what Zhou Wang had imagined.

Although Sister Xiaoyu suffered from chronic renal failure, which had a very low chance of being cured, Zhou Wang originally thought that transferring her to Jiahui International Hospital would not only not cure her, but at least relieve her pain. Unexpectedly, from the looks of it, Sister Xiaoyu's condition seemed to have gotten worse.

"In the beginning, there were..."

Seeing her mother clutching the quilt tightly in pain, Linlin burst into tears.
"At that time, the hospital's leaders came to see Mom. Later, the doctor said that Mom would be given a better medicine. I didn't understand it, but Mom was awake less and less. Sometimes she woke up suddenly in the middle of the night because of pain. Brother, you say, Mom... Is Mom going to die?"

"No, your mother will live a long, long time."

Zhou Wang touched Linlin's head, thinking in his heart that he could let Sister Xiaoyu take some [Life Potion]. Although it could not cure Sister Xiaoyu all at once, it would definitely improve her current condition.

Originally, for the sake of caution, Zhou Wang did not plan to use the system props on other people, but now that the small blue bottle developed based on the [Life Potion] is about to be on the market, it doesn’t matter.

"really?"

"Of course it's true. If I say she won't die, then she won't die."

Just as Zhou Wang nodded affirmatively and comforted the tearful Linlin, there was a knock on the door outside the ward.

"Hello, I'm here to change the dressing. Can I come in?"

A mature female voice sounded outside the door.

When Linlin was about to respond subconsciously, Zhou Wang, who was stunned by what she heard, pulled Linlin back.

"Wait, Linlin...Brother will go to the lounge for a while. Don't expose my presence, okay?"

"it is good."

Although Linlin didn't know why Zhou Wang did this, she still nodded obediently.

After Zhou Wang walked into the lounge, Linlin shouted to the outside of the door, "Sister, come in!"

The door was pushed open, and a female nurse pushing a trolley walked in. Zhou Wang took a look through the window on the door and thought to himself...it was the nurse who had an affair with Doctor Qin in the corridor.

Considering the "dressing change" they mentioned in their conversation, Zhou Wang's eyes narrowed.

"Linlin, how are you, is mom feeling better today?"

The female nurse was still greeting Linlin with a smile. She looked so kind and warm. If Zhou Wang had not discovered some trickery beforehand, he would have been fooled by her appearance.

"It's still nothing. It seems to be even worse. Sister Zhou Zhou, what's going on? Is this medicine ineffective? Doctor Qin told me this last time, but I didn't understand..."

Linlin's crying voice soon responded.

The nurse named Zhou Zhou quickly comforted Linlin, "It's definitely not the medicine. Linlin, do you know how much this imported medicine costs? A small bottle costs five figures, and there is a quota. How could it be ineffective?"

"How about this, I'll ask Doctor Qin to check later to see if your mother's body has an immune response to the medicine... I'll change the medicine for your mother first, okay?"

Linlin didn't know anything, of course. She was shocked when she heard that such a small bottle of medicine cost tens of thousands of yuan. She said awkwardly:

"Ah, this is such an expensive medicine, we can't afford the medical expenses..."

Seeing the girl's embarrassment, Zhou Zhou rolled his eyes secretly.

Still can’t afford the medical expenses?
Can you afford to stay in this ward?
And what about the food and drinks you eat and drink every day, do you know how much a meal would cost if you put them outside?

She really didn't understand where this mother and daughter came from. They had a country vibe about them. The girl obviously didn't have much experience. She didn't even dare to go out for a walk. For almost two months, she stayed in that ward every day...

Moreover, this girl doesn’t even have a mobile phone. Her mother does have an old-fashioned phone, but in all this time, Zhou Zhou has never seen anyone call her.

At first, Zhou Zhou thought that this woman named Zhao Yu was of great importance, or was favored by an important person. When they first moved in, several deans on duty came to visit them in person, and the director of the VIP inpatient department also came here almost every day.

At that time, Qin Li secretly told her that he had asked his uncle and was told that this woman named Zhao Yu might have a relationship with the major shareholder behind the hospital and she had to be treated with care.

Zhou Zhou, who happened to be assigned to this ward, thought at the time that the god of luck had descended upon him. As long as he could serve the mother and daughter well and please the major shareholder behind them, then wouldn't the position of head nurse that he had always dreamed of be secured?
But after working like a slave for more than a week, Zhou Zhou gradually realized that something was wrong. Not only did the hospital directors gradually stop coming, but the director of the inpatient department also gradually stopped showing up after not seeing the person he wanted to see for several days in a row. He just asked Dr. Qin to keep an eye out and notify him in time if the mysterious shareholder behind the scenes showed up.

At the beginning, Dr. Qin was also very enthusiastic. Although he had the relationship with his uncle behind him, if he could get the appreciation of a major shareholder, his future would undoubtedly be more secure.

However, it was not until a month later that Dr. Qin became suspicious because he had not even seen the shadow of the mysterious major shareholder, let alone the person himself.

Under his instructions, Zhou Zhou acted as a caring older sister and got to know Linlin and her daughter in detail during the conversation.

Linlin, who was not scheming, naturally told Zhou Zhou everything she knew.

After learning the "whole truth", Zhou Zhou was immediately poured with a bucket of cold water.

This mother and daughter really came from the countryside. They were not relatives or friends of the major shareholder. It turned out that they were rescued by someone by chance and then sent here inexplicably...

Zhou Zhou, who was unwilling to give up, even thought that maybe this woman named Zhao Yu was actually the lover of that shareholder. What if some men just liked the temperament of this country woman?
It’s no wonder that, although Zhao Yu’s face became very haggard due to the torture of illness and lacked the decoration of makeup, it can still be seen from her eyebrows that she is a woman with a good foundation.

Zhou Zhou had read her medical records. She was just 34 years old, not old, and was exactly the age when a woman was at her most mature and charming.

Not to mention that she has a pretty 17-year-old daughter. What if the major shareholder has taken a fancy to her daughter or wants to try something exciting?

But after Zhou Zhou asked her more questions, she completely gave up.

Linlin would not lie. In other words, this woman named Zhao Yu was really a country girl whose husband was in prison. She did not normally have any contact with any other men. In any case, in Linlin's impression, her mother had always been alone.

So Zhou Zhou and Dr. Qin came to the conclusion together that the mother and daughter were just lucky. They happened to meet a noble person who helped them when her illness flared up, so they were able to come to Jiahui International for treatment.

And the "noble man" who is suspected to be the major shareholder behind the scenes just did this good deed, and there will basically be no follow-up.

No wonder the hospital leaders didn’t come later, they probably saw through this a long time ago.

Even so, after all, they were admitted through the relationship with the major shareholder, so they had no choice but to let the mother and daughter continue to live there. The hospital leaders did not dare to neglect them, and they used the best drugs for treatment.

But even though the leaders think so, Zhou Zhou certainly doesn’t think so.

She had made a fuss with Doctor Qin several times, wanting to change the ward she was in charge of, so that at least she could receive some red envelopes and gifts. It was better than continuing to waste time with this mother and daughter with nothing.

But Dr. Qin stopped her.

"Who said she was broke? Aren't the medicines she takes every day also money?"

Qin Li chuckled sinisterly.

"You mean... change their medicine?"

Zhou Zhou was shocked. "This is inappropriate. Zhao Yu is different from the other two patients. Those two were dying. Even if there was something wrong with the medicine, no one would be able to detect it. But they..."

"What are you afraid of? Have you seen Director Li come here anytime in the past two weeks? If we don't mention it, he would have probably forgotten about this mother and daughter..."

Doctor Qin didn't care at all. He just sneered and said, "Change their medicine for one month, and then resell it. It will cost millions. And you also know that this kind of chronic renal failure is actually incurable. She will die sooner or later. It's better to give the money to us. What do you think..."

Zhou Zhou thought that this was indeed the case. Besides, Dr. Qin had his uncle behind him. If anything really went wrong, Dr. Qin would be there to back him up, so Zhou Zhou agreed.

She was also terrified at first, but as Dr. Qin continued to transfer money into her account that was far more than her normal salary, and as there was indeed no problem and Zhao Yu and her daughter did not notice it at all, Zhou Zhou became more and more courageous.

At first, she just replaced the imported medicine with a domestic substitute. Now, there is only glucose in the bottle, and Zhou Zhou even stopped giving her painkillers...

"Don't worry, your mother's medicines are all reimbursed, so you don't need to spend any money."

Zhou Zhou smiled and comforted Lin Lin, then went forward to change the medicine for Zhao Yu.

Zhou Wang, who was behind the door, saw that she had changed the medicine. If it was true as he guessed, then the evidence was conclusive at this moment. He was about to push the door open and go out, but at this moment, Zhou Zhou grabbed Linlin again.

"By the way, Linlin, what do you think about what I told you last time?"

"What is it that sister is talking about?"

"It's about changing the ward. I told you about it last week. Don't you remember?"

"Oh, I remember now, but I want to wait until my mother wakes up and ask her what she thinks..."

Linlin said timidly.

"Hey, Linlin, do you think your mother can make any wise decisions in her current state?"

Zhou Zhou quickly persuaded, "I'm doing this for your own good. Although the lighting in that ward isn't as good as this one, it has the best ventilation in the entire corridor, and it's close to our emergency station. Think about it, if anything happens to mom, wouldn't it be more convenient?"

Zhou Wang felt so sick after hearing this.

Zhou Zhou was obviously talking nonsense. He had just observed that this ward had the best location in the entire corridor. It was the best in terms of privacy and lighting. How could there be a better ward?

Most of them have received benefits from other patients and come here to act as lobbyists.

"This...then, let's switch over?"

Linlin was constantly persuaded by Zhou Zhou, and she also lacked confidence, so she just spoke in a stammering manner.

"Great, I'll go right away..."

"I'm your mom!"

Zhou Zhou, who was overjoyed, was about to turn around when he was knocked back by the wooden door that was suddenly smashed open. He staggered with a "ouch" and hit the cart again. After a series of "ding-ling-clang" sounds, he fell on the wooden floor with his legs up in the air.

"Fuck..."

The "equipment" in her nurse's uniform also fell out and rolled to Zhou Wang's feet, still buzzing. Zhou Wang looked closely and suddenly felt his scalp tingling, so he quickly dodged to the side.
