C84 (1/2)
Xia Li looked at the middle-aged man who knelt in front of her and repented, his heart full of unfamiliarity and resentment. If not for her, how would he have suffered so much before this?
At this time, the customers in the shop were all looking at the two in surprise, ready to watch a good show, causing Xia Li's face to instantly turn ugly.
”My fellow villagers, please help me beg my daughter as well. He is not letting me, his father, into his house right now!” Seeing that Xia Li had no intention to give in, Xia Manjiang stood up and begged and turned around, once again kneeling on the ground, he kowtowed to the customer who came to treat him.
”Dr. Xia, is this your father?”
”How can a daughter make her father kneel in front of her?”
”Doctor Xia, what's going on?”
A group of people who didn't know the truth looked at Xia Manjiang's pitiful appearance, and their sympathy rose in an instant. The way they looked at Xia Li also changed.
Xia Manjiang who was kneeling on the ground, secretly looked around at the expressions of everyone, a proud look flashed past his face, and he wiped the tears that did not come out from the corner of his eyes.
The servants at the side immediately ran over, and invited the surrounding people to the side. Those who needed to grab medicine, those who needed to get medicine, and those who needed to see a doctor, all of them were directly invited to the door, leaving Xia Li and Xia Manjiang some private spaces.
Xia Li had a headache, he rubbed his temple, then helped Xia Manjiang who was kneeling on the ground up, and gave him a silver ingot as he said this.
”Take these silver taels. Let's go.”
Xia Manjiang looked at the silver in his hand, his eyes immediately lit up, and secretly observed Xia Li's expression, as he said: ”How could father want to take my daughter's money, Father is already old, and does not wish to continue tormenting yourself, and only wants to come back and live peacefully with your mother.”
”Hey, where's your mother? Where is Qing Er? ” Xia Manjiang said. As he looked around the entire hospital, he couldn't find anyone he wanted to see.
”They're not in hospital.” Xia Li protected his family instinctively, leaving Xia Manjiang alone at all times.
”Don't be nervous, my girl, I'm just casually asking. Oh right, your hospital looks quite impressive. Are you buying it or renting it? How do you have so much silver?”
Xia Manjiang stood within the hospital, and looked left and right, his eyes constantly swiveling, as though he was plotting something.
”What did you come back for?” Xia Li stood within the hospital and looked at Xia Manjiang carefully.
”Dad just wants to reunite with all of you. We'll live a good life together.”
Xia Manjiang laughed in embarrassment, staring at Xia Li's expression, he carefully dealt with it.
”Leave, we have nothing to do with you anymore.” Xia Li said as he walked out, but did not expect Xia Manjiang to step forward and grab her wrist.
”What do you want to do? I don't welcome you here, so please leave. ”
Xia Li unceremoniously threw Xia Manjiang off, and pushed him out.
”Father really has no other choice. Where are you driving me to? I'm begging you, my daughter. Take me in!”
Xia Manjiang said, then sat on the ground again, dragging Xia Li, stubbornly refusing to let her go out, while the customers inside once again surrounded her.
”Dr. Xia, you can't treat your father like this. As a child, how can you let an elder kneel in front of you?”
”That's right, Doctor Xia. We saw that your medical ethics weren't bad, so we didn't …”
Some could not help but start to blame Xia Li.
”My father is a gambler, he ran away after he owed a huge debt, leaving the three of us behind. Now that we have lived a good life and have come back today, what else do you have to say?”
Xia Li's face was calm as he looked at them.
Hearing Xia Li's words, the people who came to see the patient were all stunned, some of them looked at Xia Manjiang who was kneeling on the ground and pestering him, and their expressions became disdainful, and immediately turned and left the hospital, while some of them busily looked for the servants to grab the medicine, and only had a few people standing at the same place to plead for Xia Manjiang.
”Doctor Xia, maybe your father really repented. No matter what, you have to give him a chance.”
”That's right, even if the father is wrong, he is still your father.”
Xia Li felt a burst of pain in her head. If she continued to listen to these people, she would really faint on the spot.
Xia Manjiang pleaded as he held Xia Li's hand once again.
”My daughter, even outsiders say that you can't treat father this time. You have to listen to everyone's suggestions, right?”
Xia Li frowned, she pushed away the issue of Xia Manjiang, and faced the rest of the people.
”Thank you everyone for your advice. If there's anything else you're feeling unwell about, I'll get Doctor Bai to diagnose it for you.”
”Alright.”
”I just don't feel well in my stomach.”
Xia Li then brought the last few guests to the attending doctor's Bai Ying and walked to the study room alone. Xia Manjiang took the chance to follow along and secretly put away the silver that Xia Li had given him.
Just as Xia Li was thinking about how to drive Xia Manjiang away, Lee's took his food box and entered the hospital Hall, looking for Xia Li's figure in the crowd. Xia Manjiang took the chance to rush out of the study and ran in front of Lee's, grabbing her.
”Why is it you!” Lee's's body shrank, the food box in his hand clattered to the ground, causing the plate in the food box to shake as well, the soup spilling all over the floor.
