University Doctor and His Fragile Patients

"A family with a car and a house, even if they go to the bank for a loan, they can pull together thirty to fifty thousand for surgery and medical expenses, right? Crowdfunding is clearly just borrowing public trust."

"People who truly can’t gather money aren’t as loud as she is."

"No wonder Dr. Chen consistently has this attitude. If I faced such ’poor people’, I’d also be speechless."

"Selling the car overnight might cover the surgery costs."

"Don’t want to sacrifice anything, just claim to be poor, hoping the hospital would waive the fees, right?"

"Crowdfunding is ruined by these people!"

"..."

After Chen Mu finished speaking,

everyone in the room couldn’t help but focus their gaze on Fu Xiaocui.

Clearly.

Everyone was waiting for Fu Xiaocui to defend herself.

Or perhaps...

Explain.

So many years have passed, yet it keeps being dragged up.

Never seen a man as petty as Chen Mu!

In her heart, Fu Xiaocui silently cursed Chen Mu furiously.

But in front of others, she just softly wiped her tears, "It’s not that I don’t want to sell the house, but I have to consider the future living of my family."

"My parents, my in-laws, and our two children, we, the couple, live in a fifty-square-meter small house."

"If I sell the house for my husband, our family might truly end up on the streets. Are we not poor at all?"

"So many people crowded into such a small house, is it because we don’t want to live in a big house?"

"It’s because we have no money!"

Fu Xiaocui still remembers the advice she received, at such times, if you want to appear pitiful, don’t look towards the livestream cameras.

Otherwise.

It looks too much like acting.

Today’s internet users, although easily guided, are also very smart.

If someone notices any clues.

At that time.

She might not only fail to receive the sympathy she seeks, but might even be counterattacked by the public opinion she guided.

That.

Would be more lost than gained.

—

"Yes, she has just one house, with so many people living in it. It’s an essential home."

"How would they live after selling the house? Should the elderly and children just die?"

"I remember hearing Dr. Chen’s family conditions are pretty good. People like him, who haven’t experienced hardships, won’t really think from ordinary people’s perspectives."

"Fu Xiaocui’s family is truly pitiful, having such an irresponsible doctor who doesn’t care about his patients."

"So, if there’s no money for treatment, it’s the doctor’s fault? Should doctors donate their salaries for patients’ treatments?"

"Sometimes being in the same livestream room with these idiots truly leaves you feeling indescribably helpless. Are your brains really all this amazing?"

"I may not have medical knowledge, but I understand why advising people to study medicine is so condemned. Facing these bizarre folks on the bullet screen, this job is undoable."

"Otherwise, do you know what it means to be an angel in white? Do you, without empathy, have the qualification to be an angel in white?"

"Click a 6!"

"..."

—

Chen Mu nodded and then said, "I can understand your difficulties, but I also hope you can understand the hospital’s policies, as well as the crowdfunding software’s rules. With a car and house, crowdfunding won’t be approved."

Fu Xiaocui, wiping her tears, "But isn’t that just leaving us to wait for death?"

Chen Mu only felt his brow twitching: "At that time you still had a fifty-gram gold bracelet, and the gold price was high then, each gram priced at around 600."

Seeing Fu Xiaocui’s face change.

Wanting to explain.

Chen Mu once again spoke before her, actively saying: "Don’t say you didn’t have it, not to mention the hospital had surveillance, after your husband’s death, you and your in-laws went to the police station because of that gold bracelet. If the investigative group needs, they should be able to pull out the police records, a quick check will reveal if I’m lying."

Fu Xiaocui: "..."

Just watching Chen Mu gritting his teeth.

But at this moment, she dared not say too much.

She doesn’t know what else Chen Mu knows, but she understands that the current situation seems unfavorable to her.

Exactly!

She still remembers!

The person advising her, before coming to Hai City University, once warned her.

If faced with seemingly unfavorable situations.

Stay quiet.

Just play the victim.

Su Bingbing glanced at Fu Xiaocui’s silent posture, and couldn’t help but wonder, is someone behind this woman giving her advice?

Such a posture seems pitiful, but in reality, it’s what they in the entertainment circle do after getting bored.

This time.

Su Bingbing acted curious, "Selling the gold bracelet would have covered the medical expenses, don’t tell me the bracelet also pertains to your family’s livelihood?"

Fu Xiaocui gritted her teeth.

This shouldn’t have anything to do with Su Bingbing.

Yet because of her unique relationship with Chen Mu, Su Bingbing kept interfering annoyingly.

Disrupting her plans!

Fu Xiaocui was about to curse Su Bingbing to death in her heart, but appeared softly, "That was part of our wedding gold, and I just wanted to keep it as a memory..."

Her words weren’t finished.

Interrupted by Su Bingbing impatiently, "Only dead people need memories."

Before Fu Xiaocui could explain.

Su Bingbing’s eyes returned to Chen Mu not far away.

The investigators clearly lack patience for Chen Mu and Fu Xiaocui to narrate the past back and forth.

What they should do now is get to the point.

Su Bingbing: "Dr. Chen, so back then, until the patient’s death, the family didn’t move their gold bracelet, correct?"

Chen Mu nodded and said, "When they were causing trouble with the deceased’s body in the emergency department, the family still wore their gold bracelets."

Su Bingbing squinted her eyes, "That makes me curious. Her husband didn’t meet the hospital’s green channel standards, and the related crowdfunding software won’t help a family with a car and a house crowdfund, but the deceased’s surgery needed money, where did the surgery fee come from?"

—

"I truly have no sympathy left now; a house can be considered essential, but calling a gold bracelet essential? I can’t agree."

"It’s all just claiming poverty as a reason; they don’t care about hospital or societal order, just want free treatment, right?"

"My wife’s attitude isn’t problematic at all, her questions are sharp."

"No one’s backing Chen Mu, but letting this woman go on like this is absurd. If surgery could be done without payment, then in the future, who would willingly pay medical expenses? Just cause trouble and get it done!"

"Formal channels are impossible, right?"

"I think I’ve guessed a bit, but seriously, if that’s the case, what’s the difference from a fool?"

"I think I’ve also guessed somewhat, but he usually seems like such a clever person."

"No! Have you all guessed some truth? Can you share, don’t make others feel like idiots!"

"Really... most annoying are those who play mind games on the bullet screen!!!"

"..."

—

This time.

No need for Fu Xiaocui to speak.

Maybe.

Chen Mu also felt Fu Xiaocui wouldn’t speak.

"Her husband’s surgery and hospitalization costs were all covered by me!"

Su Bingbing stared blankly at Chen Mu.

Always felt like looking at a fool, "Why? You thought their family could scrape together the medical expenses, why did you help cover it?"

Even if Chen Mu actually wanted to do a good deed.

He could have given the money to someone who truly needed and deserved it.

Not to such an ungrateful family.

Su Bingbing looked at Fu Xiaocui with a gaze even more incredulous than looking at Chen Mu, "Dr. Chen helped you cover surgery and medical expenses back then, and yet you let Dr. Chen resign from Hai City Renmin Hospital?"
