Wang Bin, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't stand it anymore and immediately reached out and tugged at the old lady's clothes: "Grandma, my sister is from our family. How can we let Sister Qiao Ruan pay for it?"

Grandma Wang, who always doted on her grandson, changed her expression when she looked at Wang Bin. She immediately pushed him away, her face contorted with rage: "What do you know, you little kid? Do you know how hard it is to earn money? This five hundred yuan is your father's monthly salary! How can our family afford to pay for this! Go away, you little kid, what do you know!"

Qiao Ruan slowly bit her lip, her eyes glistening with moisture!

"Whatever happened, everyone gather around here. Disperse and go about your business. Don't disrupt the hospital's normal operations!"

Officer Jiang's voice suddenly rang out behind them, and the officers immediately went forward to disperse the crowd.

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Wang immediately turned around and rushed forward, saying, "Officer Jiang, look! This woman is holding onto my granddaughter and won't let go. She says my granddaughter has a serious illness and will die if she doesn't get treatment! Don't we know our child is sick? I want my child back, but she won't give her to me! You should arrest her and lock her up for three to five years so she can stop harming people!"

Grandma Wang tried her best to splash dirty water, while Officer Jiang stood with his hands behind his back, seemingly listening, before his gaze finally fell on Qiao Ruan.

When Qiao Ruan met Officer Jiang's gaze, she showed no fear or guilt. Her eyes were clear and pure, without a trace of impurity. Anyone with eyes could tell that she was not trying to harm anyone.

Officer Jiang then asked the crowd loudly, "Who called the police just now?"

"it's me!"

The person who came out of the alley was a college student named Gao Shuang.

Officer Jiang glanced over and said, "Gao Shuang, come and tell Uncle Jiang what exactly happened?"

Upon hearing this, Grandma Wang immediately looked at Gao Shuang!

Gao Shuang comes from a single-parent family. Her mother runs a small tailoring business here, mostly supported by business from neighbors in the alley. However, Gao Shuang studies hard and, after being admitted to university, she also started doing part-time jobs to help her family.

When this old lady Wang comes to our house to have clothes made, she's always picking and choosing, trying to get something for free.

Seeing the threat in Grandma Wang's eyes, Gao Shuang pursed her lips and mustered her courage to look at Officer Jiang: "Officer Jiang, when we came out, we saw black smoke coming from Grandma Wang's house, and there was a very unpleasant smell of carbon monoxide in the air. If you stay in there for too long, you will get poisoned. We've all heard that this woman is holding Wang Yao. Wang Yao has had a high fever for many days, and she has been getting injections at the health center for several days, but it hasn't helped. Grandma Wang even found a sorceress to treat Wang Yao, but it didn't work. This woman said that Wang Yao might have leukemia and that we need to come to the hospital for a checkup as soon as possible, so we came."

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Wang immediately flew into a rage: "Gao Shuang! What are you meddling for! Our Wang family's affairs are our own to resolve behind closed doors. We don't need outsiders like you interfering! Officer Jiang, you should stay out of it too!"

Grandma Wang, enraged, tried to snatch Wang Yao away, but Officer Jiang swiftly stopped her.

Officer Jiang said with a serious face: "Grandma Wang, Gao Shuang is an intellectual, she went to university and knows her stuff. What she said is not wrong. You have been using too much coal at home. Is it damp or non-compliant coal? You are so old and you have two children at home. If something really happens to you, how will your son and daughter-in-law live in the future?"

"Furthermore, what era are we living in? The country has been emphasizing that we shouldn't be superstitious! You'd be willing to give money to exorcists? You're unhappy about going to the hospital for a checkup? Don't you understand the principle that minor illnesses should be treated at the local clinic, and serious illnesses at the hospital?"

“I can see your granddaughter doesn’t look well either. Let’s put aside the money for now and get her checked out first. If something really happens and someone dies, can you take responsibility? Even if you can, have you thought about whether her mother can accept it?”
