Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 510: Wen Li’s Sharp Tongue
The first floor lobby was particularly crowded, with patients and their families, passing nurses, and security guards hearing the commotion and coming over to maintain order.
Many patients, enduring their own pains, also wanted to join in the excitement.
Tuanzi was also curious, using her small stature to squeeze through the crowd. She managed to get to the front row and saw it was a family quarrel.
Although they were family, they were divided into two sides.
On one side was a middle-aged woman with sallow skin, holding a four or five-year-old boy in her arms.
The boy was thin, with a sickly look and somewhat vacant eyes.
Beside the middle-aged woman stood a seven or eight-year-old girl, also very thin, dressed plainly, with tears in her eyes, clutching her mother’s clothes in fear.
On the opposite side was another mother and her grown son. The elderly lady had gray hair but looked spirited and had a rather harsh expression. The man was short and fat, with an oily face, dressed quite well.
The crowd of onlookers grew larger, and even the security came over to scold them. The elderly lady, unable to maintain her composure, cursed again, "Aren’t you ashamed enough? You can’t even give birth to a smart son; I should just make my son divorce you!"
These words came out very smoothly, indicating they were often repeated. Often repeated, but never acted upon.
The man beside her also threatened, "Are you leaving or not? If you don’t go back, watch what happens!"
Noticing the finger-pointing from others, he changed his tactic to pleading poverty, "Our family really has no money now. It’s not that I don’t care about my son and daughter, but one is foolish, and the other will marry out eventually, so it’s unnecessary to treat them! Think about how much money we’ve spent over the years."
The onlookers quietly murmured among themselves.
Tuanzi perked up her ears and quickly understood.
The lady holding the child had a daughter first, then a foolish boy. This time, the daughter had recurring fevers, and the boy sometimes fainted and mumbled. Their mother brought them to the hospital for a checkup. As soon as they arrived, the mother-in-law and husband followed, refusing treatment.
The crowd initially was small, and they spoke nastily, but now with more people around, they toned it down a bit.
The middle-aged woman seemed to hear the murmurs of the onlookers. She glanced at her vacant-eyed son, looked down at her crying daughter in discomfort, and spoke softly, but with determination, "I just got paid, and I have money for the treatment."
The expressions on the couple facing them changed.
"You didn’t hand over your wages? You’re just courting trouble!"
The elderly woman cursed again, repeating the same phrases. Marrying her son was a blessing for this woman. Not divorcing her after failing to bear a healthy son was an even greater benevolence. Not handing over her wages under the pretense of treating the children, who knows if she’s really having an affair outside.
The middle-aged woman was shocked. She was just trying to treat her children, how could it become something akin to an affair?
The slander was ugly, and the onlookers weren’t buying it.
"Sister, quickly take the children for treatment."
An older woman reached out to push the middle-aged woman, "There’s a lot of people here, they won’t dare do anything. Go for the treatment first."
The elderly woman became anxious, instantly lying on the ground, starting to make a scene.
Those who initially wanted to help stepped back cautiously, afraid of being accused of something.
When a person decides to act shamelessly, they’re unbeatable.
Tuanzi was dumbfounded.
[Ancient Martial System: That man is trying to grab the little girl.]
Tuanzi was alert. She turned her head and saw the short and fat man grabbing the little girl’s hand, trying to drag her away.
He was dragging his own daughter, making it hard for others to intervene. Dragging her away was just a threat to his wife.
Tuanzi couldn’t tolerate it. The little girl looked so miserable that Tuanzi raised her hand to push the short and fat man away.
Someone else intervened first, grabbing the short and fat man’s wrist, applying a little pressure, causing him to let go in pain.
"Who are you? Why are you meddling?"
"I’m a meddler, and I love meddling."
The newcomer was a young man, gentle in appearance, smiling lightly, "I’m in a bad mood. If you get upset, maybe that’ll make me happy."
What a bizarre statement.
The man saw that while the newcomer was slender, he was a head taller, so he didn’t dare make a move, opting to only bully his own wife and children.
The little girl had already run back to her mother’s side.
The same older woman urged them again, "Go, go, go, get the checkup now. Just look at how high her fever is, don’t waste time."
The middle-aged woman hesitated for a few seconds, looked back at the person who suddenly helped, and then walked away with her child. The little girl also wobbled along.
Tuanzi hesitated a bit, feeling the threat still lingered, so she stayed, eyes wide open, looking at the person who made the move.
A familiar face, it was her cousin Wen Li, whom she had parted from just last night.
Standing amidst the crowd, Tuanzi was inconspicuous, but her young, handsome, and well-dressed cousin was quite noticeable.
The elderly woman, seeing her daughter-in-law run away, got up aggressively, intending to cause trouble for Wen Li, even reaching out to push him.
Wen Li staggered back a step, then, right in front of her, made a phone call.
"Yes, Lawyer Wen, I have a query. If someone pushes me, what grounds do I have to file a lawsuit against them?"
The elderly woman continued cursing, her language quite filthy. She was good at slinging mud and, seeing a man help her daughter-in-law, directly called him a lover on the side. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"Oh, she also slandered me as an intruder, causing severe mental distress. In a civil suit, how much can I claim for emotional damages?"
The elderly woman’s eyes widened, "You, do you have no shame?"
Wen Li replied in surprise, "You actually know the word ’shame’? I thought you and ’shame’ divorced long ago."
The elderly woman was so angry her chest heaved violently.
She sat down on the ground again, slapping her thighs, loudly wailing, trying to win sympathy from those around.
"She gave birth to a daughter and then a foolish son, yet my son hasn’t divorced her. Aren’t we good enough to her? Everyone wants a healthy boy to continue the family line, right? What’s wrong with saving money to raise a healthy boy?"
Among the onlookers, only very few agreed with her.
Wen Li seriously sized up the elderly lady and short, fat man, then exclaimed, "Are you descendants of some emperor, that you have to have a boy to inherit the throne?"
Before the elderly woman could speak, he clapped and laughed, "Oh, you’re planning to restore the old dynasty. This is overthrowing the whole nation, isn’t that treason or some other crime? Anyway, I’ll just report to the police first and then consult a lawyer."
The short, fat man panicked immediately, hurriedly helping the elderly woman up.
"Let’s go, let’s go. She’ll have to come home later, and we can deal with her then."
They wanted to leave, but Wen Li wasn’t having it and blocked their way.
"You won’t wait for others to finish talking? So impolite. Ah," Wen Li tilted his head, "That’s right, you dare to make a scene and scold and hit in public, disrupting hospital order, which was impolite to begin with. It’s my fault for expecting better from you."
This was so sarcastic that the elderly woman’s and the short, fat man’s faces turned green.
Wen Li continued his polite attacks, "Your son smells of smoke and alcohol. Did he also do that during your daughter-in-law’s conception period? Children born then are indeed prone to problems, but it’s your son’s fault."
The elderly woman was about to retort, but Wen Li quickly added, "But you, being a feudal leftover, might not understand my words, right?"
Finishing, he turned to the short, fat man, "Ah, and animals don’t understand human speech at all. I shouldn’t have said anything."
The short and fat man was speechless.
Tuanzi had only one expression the entire time.
Tuanzi: (○o○)
