The Crazy Son-In-Law

When Xiao Shun and the villagers who came with him reached the second floor, they saw a few anxious relatives gathered at the door of the ward, seemingly discussing something. Nurses occasionally went in and out of the ward, but no doctors were seen.

Faint sounds of patients’ painful moans and possibly relatives’ crying could be heard from inside the ward.

Seeing the arrival of the stern-faced man and others, some patient relatives who had been there came over, asking questions eagerly.

“Weren’t you going to confront Starline? Why are you back?”

“Did they admit it?”

“This is Mr. Xiao from Starline, he’s come personally to explain the situation to everyone,” the stern-faced man introduced Xiao Shun.

Hearing this, everyone looked somewhat surprised at Xiao Shun, and then their faces filled with storm clouds.

Before anyone else could speak, Xiao Shun began, “Everyone, let me speak first. Regardless of whether or not Starline is responsible, I’m here with sincerity to help solve the problem. Our company will bear all medical expenses for you first. And I’m also a doctor, perhaps I can help treat your loved ones.” Xiao Shun usually didn’t admit to being a doctor, as he didn’t even have a medical license. However, he hoped this might gain some trust from them at this time.

Xiao Shun knew that if they started to argue, it could lead to endless disputes and possibly delay treatment. So, before anyone else could object, he guided the discussion and asked, “What’s the hospital saying now?” Asking about their current concern would naturally attract their attention.

Sure enough, a clean, scholarly looking man replied with a worried face, “Up until now, they haven’t determined what kind of poison it is, let alone a treatment plan. The head nurse said that the hospital’s experts are still in a meeting. We don’t know what they’re discussing when they haven’t even identified the poison.”

“Let me see the patients,” Xiao Shun said.

“Are you really a doctor?” Someone asked, skeptical of his young age.

“As real as it gets,” Xiao Shun answered with certainty.

“My mother is in that room.” Upon hearing that the hospital’s experts seemed helpless, a burly man with a dark face pointed anxiously to one of the rooms and said to Xiao Shun, “I’ll take you there.” He led Xiao Shun quickly to the room.

Upon opening the door, he saw his mother still unconscious, her face was dry and she was wearing an oxygen mask, with an IV drip in her hand. Sitting next to her was a somewhat plump middle-aged woman, his wife.

A quick glance around the room revealed five or six beds occupied by patients, all with various expressions. The most serious case seemed to be the mother of the burly man. However, they all shared the same symptom – their faces were sallow and haggard.

“What did the doctor say?” The burly man asked softly.

“They can’t figure out what kind of poison it is. Some people are nearing death. The hospital’s ICU is not enough. Under normal circumstances, our mother should have been transferred there by now,” the middle-aged woman said with a worried face.

The burly man’s eyebrows knotted together and he looked at Xiao Shun.

“First, let me take your mother’s pulse.” Xiao Shun sat down on the bed, gently placing his hand on the woman’s bony wrist. After a moment, he frowned, his expression growing more serious.

Seeing his expression, the burly man’s heart tightened, and he quickly asked, “How is it?”

“She’s definitely been poisoned, but not from water pollution,” Xiao Shun said, looking thoughtful. “I’m not trying to shirk responsibility. If it were poisoning caused by water pollution, the hospital’s experts wouldn’t still be unable to determine it. This is a rare kind of Gu poison,” he added solemnly.

Xiao Shun also felt a chill in his heart, not expecting someone would use such a malicious method.

“Can you cure it?” The man with the dark face asked.

“I can,” Xiao Shun answered succinctly and confidently.

The burly man and his wife looked at each other, not sure what to do.

At this time, the relatives who had come back with Xiao Shun were too concerned about their own patients to pay him any mind.

However, the people who had been at the door followed him in and gathered around the bed.

“Why can’t you just listen? Get out!”

At that moment, a sharp voice came from the doorway.

“Nurse, how is my mother doing now?” The dark-faced man asked anxiously.

“The hospital director and experts are in a meeting. They should soon come up with a treatment plan. Can you relatives stop causing trouble? Don’t crowd in the ward if it’s not necessary. Please disperse.”

The young nurse had a stern face, looking as if someone owed her two hundred yuan, and scolded them.

Facing the medical staff, most of the patients’ relatives behaved obediently.

However, at this moment, seeing that his mother was on her last breath, the dark-faced man couldn’t help but say another word, “My mother is in such a condition, and you still have time for a meeting. Do you want her to wait for death?”

“How can you talk like that? If you care so much about your mother, she wouldn’t be poisoned. This is a hospital, not your home, I don’t have time to quarrel with you.”

The young nurse retorted without showing weakness, measuring the temperature of another patient as she spoke.

“Say less.” The dark-faced man’s wife tugged at his sleeve and made a gesture to remind him.

Their relatives’ lives were in the hands of others, and they really didn’t have any bargaining power. The hospital was such a place.

“Help me turn your mother over, let her lie on her side.”

During their conversation, Xiao Shun had already removed the IV needle from the old lady’s hand and the oxygen mask from her face. As he spoke, he took out a needle box.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Seeing the attitude of the young nurse, and fearing that his mother might not make it if this continued, the dark-faced man hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, gently lifted the quilt, and carefully turned the old lady over.

Finally, he looked at Xiao Shun uncertainly, “Can you really cure my mother?”

“I promise.” Xiao Shun looked at him with a firm gaze.

The dark-faced man once again exchanged glances with his wife, gathered up a lot of courage and said, “Then I’ll have to rely on you.”

Xiao Shun said, “Help me lift her clothes from the back.”

“Qun, help.” The dark-faced man signaled his wife, Fan Qun.

Fan Qun hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward to lift the old lady’s clothes.

Xiao Shun took out a silver needle, a surge of invisible spiritual energy moved at his fingertips. After quickly disinfecting it, he slowly inserted it into a point on the old lady’s back.
