The Brilliant Life of a Post-Apocalyptic Female Boss Reborn at 70
Chapter 80 Encounter at the County Hospital
Xin Yi glanced at the other person and saw sincerity in her eyes, so she handed the child over.
There were no men around. The woman lifted her clothes and started breastfeeding the baby. It seemed that the baby was indeed hungry. The little baby stopped crying as soon as it took the nipple in its mouth and sucked hard while sobbing.
The woman watched with tenderness as the child ate and drank his fill and fell asleep. She then put down her clothes and handed the baby to Xin Yi.
Xin Yi thought about it and took the child. She didn't feel comfortable leaving the child with her grandmother, so she decided to wait until the child's mother woke up.
It's worth mentioning that the old woman quietly moved to the side while her granddaughter was drinking milk, probably wanting to go back to her ward. She thought no one was paying attention to her and she could go back to rest soon. As for that good-for-nothing and her mother, she didn't care if they died. Anyway, there were plenty of kind-hearted people who wouldn't leave her to die.
Shortly after Xin Yi took the baby, the delivery room door opened again. It was the same nurse, but this time she looked panicked. "Li Xiufen's family, the mother is hemorrhaging and needs an immediate blood transfusion. Where are the family members?"
"You old hag, stop right there!"
Everyone followed Xin Yi's gaze and saw that the old woman had almost slipped out of the crowd. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, the old woman had no choice but to slink back, muttering to herself that she was having a bad time.
With a fawning expression, she asked, "Nurse, it's just a lot of bleeding, what can I do if you call me back? You can't expect an old woman like me to give her a blood transfusion, that would kill me!"
The nurse rolled her eyes at her. "Even if you want to give her a blood transfusion, you have to see if your blood is clean. The hospital has blood bags that match the mother's blood type, but there's a fee, so we need to ask the family's opinion on whether to use it or not!"
The old woman's eyes darted around. "What is the fixed fee?"
The nurse had seen many patients and could tell at a glance that the old woman was weighing whether it was worth it, so she coldly replied, "About ten yuan!"
"What? So much? No need, let her get through it on her own!"
The old woman raised her voice and shouted, then, as if remembering that someone was watching her, continued, "Oh, I want to use it too, but my family's circumstances don't allow it. Ten yuan is enough to cover the expenses of my whole family for several months!"
She wiped away her tears and said, "I have no choice. Why don't we call the doctor for help?"
The nurse, feeling sorry for Li Xiufen, said, "Given your family's situation, I will report it, and there's a high probability that some of the fees will be reduced!"
"What's a portion?"
"About half!"
"Half? Why can't such a big hospital just waive it? They're being so stingy with just five yuan, they might as well not reduce it at all! If they don't have the money, let her fend for herself!"
The old woman's ugly face was on full display, but she herself was unaware of it. She was secretly calculating in her heart that five yuan was not as good as buying a few pounds of pork to treat herself to a meal instead of using it to save this good-for-nothing.
Xin Yi couldn't stand it anymore. "Nurse, I'll pay the five yuan for the mother. You should save her life first!"
Hearing this, the old woman became furious. "I already said I wouldn't save her. Why are you meddling in my business? Why don't you just give me the money? Give me ten dollars, and I'll give this worthless thing to you!"
Xin Yi most likely understood what the old hag meant, and immediately flew into a rage, "You old hag, you're a damned, worthless piece of trash! This is your own granddaughter, and you want to sell her for money right after she was born? Everyone, call the police! This old hag has no humanity! Even if she can't sell her today, who knows if she'll sell her to human traffickers later!"
"You, you, you're talking nonsense! I was just saying it offhand, how could I really sell her?"
Xin Yi walked towards her step by step, "Whether you really want to sell yourself or not, you know the answer yourself!"
After saying that, he turned to the nurse and said, "Nurse, please go in quickly. I keep my word!"
The nurse nodded, her expression softening slightly. Just as she was about to turn and go inside, the old woman rushed forward and grabbed her. "Don't save her! Don't you dare save her! She can't even give birth to a son. What's the use of saving her? What if she gets a blood transfusion and then they tell me she can't be saved? We've already spent the money! You heartless people!"
Xin Yi wanted to stop the old woman, but she was holding the child, so she could only stretch out one hand. Unexpectedly, the old woman didn't even look at her and took a step back. Xin Yi lost her balance and almost fell.
Xin Yi felt someone support her from behind. She turned around and saw, "Brother Feng!"
"Yiyi, are you alright? Are you okay?!"
Xin Yi stopped, looked at the still-sleeping baby in her arms, and secretly felt relieved.
"Brother Feng, I'm alright!"
"Why didn't you come to the county to look for me? What happened here?"
Xin Yi briefly explained the whole situation, and Feng Yi's expression turned serious. "What did you say the mother's name was?"
Although puzzled, Xin Yi still said, "Li Xiufen!"
Unbeknownst to everyone, when Feng Yi appeared, the old woman looked nervous and quickly lowered her head, as if trying to make herself less noticeable.
No sooner had Xin Yi uttered the mother's name than Feng Yi darted to the old woman.
The old woman, head bowed, saw the pair of shoes before her and had no choice but to raise her head with a forced smile, saying, "Comrade Feng, it's you!"
The old woman seemed to be an old acquaintance of Feng Yi. Although Xin Yi was puzzled, she did not ask.
Feng Yi raised an eyebrow. "Aunt Song, what are you doing?"
"Hehe, isn't this because my daughter-in-law was about to give birth, and I came to the hospital with her? She just gave birth to a little... granddaughter."
Seeing the old woman still clinging to the nurse's clothes, Feng Yi slapped her hand away. "Nurse, you go in first. I'll cover all the expenses for the new mother. Saving lives is the priority!"
The nurse nodded and turned to enter the ward. The old woman wanted to stop her but didn't dare, so she had no choice but to withdraw her hand. She knew that something big might happen today.
"Aunt Song, your son has only been gone for less than six months!"
Aunt Song stammered, "Comrade Feng, five... more than five months!"
"Your son's body is barely cold, and this is how you treat his widow? You can't even spare five dollars to save her life? And you want to sell her daughter for ten dollars?"
"No, that's not it. I just think Li Xiufen is very lucky and will definitely be fine. There's no need to waste money like this! As for the child, I was just joking. I didn't really mean to sell her!"
As she spoke, Aunt Song glanced at Feng Yi discreetly and noticed that his expression hadn't changed at all. Feeling nervous, she then saw Xin Yi beside her, as if she had found an excuse.
He walked over to Xin Yi in a few steps, "It's this shameless slut who meddles in other people's business. Just like her shameless sister-in-law, she likes to cheat on her husband. She should be drowned in a pig cage!"
