Chapter 2107: Chapter 1970: Just Find a Man to Balance It Out_6

"I’m not selling to you, what can you do? Eat me?" Song Xiaodong looked at Zhifen triumphantly.

Zhifen was so angry that her chest was heaving violently, and she reached out to grab the Chinese medicine pills from the medicine box on Song Xiaodong’s desk.

Song Xiaodong reacted quickly, "Bang," and slammed the lid of the medicine box shut, pinching Zhifen’s hand fiercely.

Zhifen’s hand was covered in blisters, itching intolerably at the slightest touch. After being slammed by the medicine box, it was even more painful and itchy, and she quickly withdrew her hand as if electrocuted, scratching hard on her right hand with her left, as if she wanted to tear off the skin.

"Hurry up, if the physician won’t sell to you, then get out of the way!" The villagers queued behind began to grow impatient.

"What’s the fuss? When it was time to distribute money, each of you came begging, and now you show this attitude?" Zhifen retorted, scratching her hand while chastising the reaching villagers.

"You have some nerve, leading the whole village into immoral acts, bringing dirty diseases to yourself, and the entire village suffers with you!" The villagers started accusing Zhifen.

"You have some nerve too, grinning while taking money, and now I get blamed for the illness? When spending money, you didn’t remember my efforts?" Zhifen mocked the villagers back.

"Move aside quickly, the physician said you are the organizer, the medicine will not be sold to you!"

The patients began to stir, dragging Zhifen to the side.

In the line, other people also cowered, bowing their heads, worried about being recognized by Song Xiaodong.

A short while later, Brother Gao’s turn came.

The brawl that day was organized by Brother Gao, who brought unemployed people from neighboring villages to fight.

"Physician." Brother Gao bowed his head, hunched his neck, staring at the ground, afraid of being recognized.

"Weren’t you the one leading the mob?" Song Xiaodong asked Brother Gao.

"No, no. I only went along to gather the crowd," Brother Gao quickly shook his head.

"Hmph, next, I won’t sell my medicine to you," Song Xiaodong said.

"Physician, please, I’m a patient too!" Brother Gao pleaded with Song Xiaodong.

"Do you know how much the equipment you damaged is worth?" Song Xiaodong asked.

Brother Gao remained silent.

Song Xiaodong extended two fingers: "Two million." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

The crowd of patients fell silent.

"Can you afford to compensate? If you can pay, then I’ll treat you."

"Physician, the equipment wasn’t damaged by me alone," Brother Gao clasped his hands, pleading with Song Xiaodong.

"But, wasn’t it you who called the people to smash the hospital?" Song Xiaodong questioned Brother Gao.

Brother Gao was at a loss for words.

"Alright, next."

Brother Gao and Zhifen stood silently to the side, like students who hadn’t completed their homework, waiting for the teacher to finish critiquing everyone’s assignments before scolding them.

After a while, Xiao Liu’s turn came.

Xiao Liu was the leader of both Brother Gao and Zhifen.

"Doctor Song, I have money, give me the medicine, no matter the price, I’ll buy it," Xiao Liu said to Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong closed the medicine box lid directly, replying: "Sorry, Mr. Liu, no matter the price, I won’t sell this medicine to you."

"Mr. Song, I know I was wrong, I’ll never harass the medical staff again, I promise to reform and conduct legal business!" Xiao Liu continued to plead.

"Next." Song Xiaodong didn’t even lift an eyelid.

Xiao Liu, Brother Gao, and Zhifen stood side by side, waiting for Song Xiaodong’s justice.

Behind Brother Gao stood Lawyer Fang.

Wearing loose sportswear, covered in chickenpox, without the once energetic and poised demeanor of a high-level intellectual.

"Oh my, Lawyer Fang, long time no see, I thought I’d have an opportunity to consult you on some legal matters," Song Xiaodong casually mocked Lawyer Fang.

Lawyer Fang’s face turned ashen, darkening with no reply.

"Lawyer Fang, please, with the VIP seats!" Song Xiaodong viciously pointed at Xiao Liu, Brother Gao, Zhifen.

"Doctor Song, if you don’t treat me, I can sue you," Lawyer Fang didn’t forget he could use the law to arm himself.

"Go ahead, think about it, from filing a case to trial, how long would it take? Ten days? Half a month? A month? Can you endure that long?" Song Xiaodong leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, tilted his head, asking Lawyer Fang.

Lawyer Fang’s eyes grew dim.

"Please, don’t delay the patients behind you." Song Xiaodong gestured.

Lawyer Fang walked zombie-like, beside Xiao Liu, Brother Gao, and Zhifen, drearily leaning against the wall, pondering unknowably.

The last patient Song Xiaodong refused treatment was Zhang Mingchang, the son of hospitalized stroke patient Zhang Chunfa, who developed bedsores during his stay.

"Doctor, their smashing wasn’t related to me, I didn’t even set foot in the hospital," Zhang Mingchang also pleaded with Song Xiaodong.

"You certainly didn’t smash or make trouble, but by standing at the hospital entrance, you enabled them to smash and cause trouble," Song Xiaodong said, looking askance at Zhang Mingchang.

"Moreover, you all shared in extorting the hospital money, otherwise you wouldn’t be sick," Song Xiaodong stated.

Zhang Mingchang felt ashamed, lowered his head, and remained silent.

"Next."

Today, over one hundred seventy patients came, and Song Xiaodong didn’t examine them, check their pulse, or observe, but directly prescribed them medicine, soon dispersing these patients, earning over fifty thousand in the morning.

Not only recovering the extorted money, but also making a profit.

Lawyer Fang, Xiao Liu, Brother Gao, Zhifen, Zhang Mingchang anxiously awaited Song Xiaodong’s decision.

"Doctor Song, we know we were wrong, we won’t dare again."

"Doctor Song, we’ll genuinely reform, never to cause trouble at the hospital again!"

"Doctor Song, you must save us!"

Song Xiaodong looked at the four and said: "Others were accomplices, but you four are the masterminds, I can overlook the others, but not the four of you."

Then, Song Xiaodong said to Zhang Mingchang: "If you dare find troublemakers at the hospital again, I’ll make sure you get even bigger blisters!"

"I’ll never dare again!" Zhang Mingchang nodded vigorously, like a chick pecking rice.

Song Xiaodong took out three medicine pills and handed them to Zhang Mingchang, saying: "Go."

"As for the rest of you, I must ensure you never commit such crimes again."

"We never dare again in the future!"
