Chapter 74
It's also my brother's fault; he's incompetent but insists on bragging.
Song Mei's tone was full of resentment.
Zhao Donglai didn't know what to say about it, so he just laughed it off.
He turned his head and saw Gu Yinxing and Yan Ren walking into the alley.
Gu Yinxing and Yan Ren also saw them.
Gu Yinxing glanced at Song Mei's reddened eyes, "Oh, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"
Song Mei quickly raised her hand to wipe away her tears, "It's nothing, it was just from the wind."
She glanced at the takeout food Gu Yinxing had brought; the bags were covered in English names. Song Mei bit her lip and deliberately said, "Yan Ren, Yin Xing, we're getting married in a few days. Are you coming to the wedding?"
"I..."
Yan Ren was about to speak, he felt someone pinch him. He coughed and looked down at Gu Yinxing.
Gu Yinxing smiled brightly, "We'd like to go too, but unfortunately, we all had something to do that day, so we couldn't go."
After saying this, she pulled Yan Ren forward, saying, "We have other things to do, so we won't disturb your conversation any longer. You can continue."
Yan Ren obediently let her pull him into the courtyard.
Gu Yinxing glanced around and saw that no one was following behind, then pulled Yan Ren aside. "Were you just about to agree to go to the wedding?"
Yan Ren was both amused and exasperated. "I didn't intend to agree."
"Then you're smart." Gu Yinxing was finally satisfied. She said to Yan Ren, "Don't say I'm interfering. I'm doing this for your own good. Stay away from Song Mei."
"We were never related, but you seem to care a lot about her." Yan Ren lowered his eyes, looking at Gu Yinxing thoughtfully. "Are you hiding something from me?"
Gu Yinxing's heart skipped a beat.
She had forgotten how meticulous Yan Ren was.
Awkward, Gu Yinxing turned her head away. "It's nothing. Oh dear, it's getting late. You should go back now; I need to go back to my studies."
Yan Ren's lips twitched; even his younger cousin was less adept at changing the subject.
"Alright, work hard, and I'll give you a reward when you pass the exam."
"You said it yourself, so get the money ready. I'm absolutely confident I'll pass this certification exam!" Gu Yinxing said confidently.
Yan Ren smiled, pursed his lips, and escorted Gu Yinxing into her home before returning home himself.
Gu Yinxing didn't worry much about how the Song Family's marriage was going; she was too busy preparing for her exams.
The qualification exam was the day before Song Mei's wedding. Although Gu Yinxing only decided to take the exam on a whim, she had been studying diligently for the past few months, spending all her time reading after work, except for her job.
He Chunlian felt like the sun had risen in the west; if that same drive had been used for the college entrance exam, she might have already graduated.
That afternoon.
After Gu Yinxing finished giving injections to several patients and checking on their conditions, the head nurse called out to her, "Yin Xing, come here."
The head nurse's tone was somewhat stern. Gu Yinxing sensed something was wrong and didn't dare to say anything. She put her things down and followed the head nurse out.
As the head nurse walked over, she asked, "Weren't you the one who cared for a female patient who was admitted to the hospital a couple of days ago because she ate the wrong thing?"
"Yes, that patient stayed for two days and one night and was discharged yesterday." Gu Yinxing said without thinking. The woman didn't have a serious illness; she just had diarrhea and was dehydrated. She could have left after getting her medication, but she still had to stay in the hospital.
Gu Yinxing was puzzled. She thought the woman didn't look like a wealthy person, so why would she be willing to pay for hospitalization? Hospitalization costs one yuan a day.
"Someone complained about you, saying there was something wrong with the medicine you gave her. After she got home, her condition had improved, but she started having diarrhea again after taking the medicine."
The head nurse looked at Gu Yinxing with a serious expression, "Think back, did you give her the wrong medicine?"
Did you get the wrong medicine?
How is that possible?!
Gu Yinxing's head buzzed, as if struck by lightning.
She was both angry and anxious. She had been a nurse for several years and had heard of others giving the wrong medicine to patients. But she was always very careful in such matters because He Chunlian had repeatedly told her that things involving human lives had to be done with utmost care. Every Gu Yinxing went to get medicine, she would check it several times before daring to give it to the patient.
"Head Nurse, this must be a misunderstanding. I took her medication; I checked it three times before giving it to her."
Gu Yinxing said angrily.
They arrived at the head of nursing's office. The head nurse looked at Gu Yinxing, hesitated for a moment, and said, "If it were me, I would trust you, but it's hard to say about Director Shen. When you go in later, you must explain things very clearly, understand?"
Gu Yinxing's face turned pale, but she still nodded heavily.
The head nurse knocked on the door, and someone inside called out, "Come in! "Gu Yinxing followed the head nurse inside.
Behind the desk sat a serious-looking middle-aged woman wearing glasses. In front of her were a man and a woman. The woman was the one Gu Yinxing had seen a few days ago, with a dark spot on her left cheek. The man looked older than her and resembled her, so they were probably relatives.
"Yes, it was her! The medicine she gave me killed me! I took it last night and had diarrhea all night!" Lin Fengxian pointed at Gu Yinxing, furious.
The man immediately glared at Gu Yinxing, his fists clenched, "It was you, little nurse, who almost killed my sister! What kind of nurse are you? If you can't do the job, get out!"
"Speak properly, this matter hasn't been clarified yet."
The head nurse pulled Gu Yinxing behind her, frowned, and said sharply, "We can't conclude yet that it was a mistake made by one of our hospital staff."
"Bullshit, did you take money from her?"
Lin Fengxian launched into a tirade, spitting all over the head nurse's face. "Your director has seen all my medications; they're for diarrhea. I'm already in the hospital with diarrhea, and you still give me this medicine? Isn't this robbing me of my life? What are you trying to do?!"
"I don't care, you have to give me an explanation today. Either fire her or compensate me 10,000 yuan, or I'll go to the newspaper and say your hospital has no medical ethics!"
Chapter 81 The Eighty-First Day of Being Eavesdropped On
"Yin Xing, Yin Xing, Song Mei said you caused trouble at the hospital and gave the wrong medicine?"
Gu Yinxing pushed her bicycle to the backyard. Before she even stopped, an older woman came out and asked her a question.
Gu Yinxing remained expressionless. "She's talking nonsense, Auntie Zhang. If you have nothing better to do, go sweep the floor outside."
Gu Yinxing's face showed some embarrassment as she bumped into Auntie Zhang.
Auntie Zhang said sheepishly, "No, no, if I really gave someone the wrong medicine, it could have been a matter of life and death."
Gu Yinxing didn't want to pay attention to her. Just by looking at the eyes of the neighbors around her, she knew that Song Mei must have told everyone about this.
Gu Yinxing gritted her teeth in anger. As she passed the East Wing Room, she heard the sound of doors and windows closing inside. She glared at them angrily before entering the house.
He Chunlian and the others came out of the house and looked at Gu Yinxing. He Chunlian looked worried and gave Liang Ying a look.
Holding the child, Liang Ying said, "Yin Xing, Song Mei just said something outside. What exactly happened? Is there some misunderstanding?"
Hearing Liang Ying's concerned words, Gu Yinxing finally couldn't hold back anymore. Her eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her face. She threw her things on the ground, sat down on the stool, and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm really innocent. I've worked in the hospital for several years. How could I not know how dangerous it is to prescribe the wrong medicine? I clearly remember giving her antidiarrheal medicine, but somehow it turned into a laxative."
Gu Jinshui frowned, handed her two tissues, and said, "Don't cry yet. What did your hospital say? We can't just believe what she says, can we?"
Gu Yinxing took the tissue, wiped her tears, and choked out, "Our head nurse is protecting me, but that woman is really difficult to deal with. She insists that I made a mistake and wants to take it to the Health Bureau for a hearing. Our leader is a jerk, and fearing something might happen, he told me to go home and rest first, and we'll talk about it after the matter is investigated."
"This... this is practically the same as suspending you from your job!"
He Chunlian's face darkened. "Your leaders are being far too sloppy. If this matter isn't thoroughly investigated, are they going to make you take the blame?"
"That's exactly what I mean."
Gu Yinxing felt incredibly wronged. She had been forcing herself to be strong while in the hospital, but after being comforted by her family at home, she felt even more aggrieved. "They still won't let me take that certification exam, saying that the matter hasn't been thoroughly investigated, and I can't take it!"
"How can this be!" Liang Ying felt wronged for her sister-in-law. "You've worked hard for months, and now they're saying you can't take the exam? What's wrong with your hospital's leadership?!"
Gu Yinxing cried even harder.
She sobbed, "If this matter isn't resolved, I'll lose my job. I... I just can't understand why that woman is so determined to frame me."
He Chunlian's face flushed with anger. She immediately stood up. "No! I can't let someone frame my daughter. Wouldn't that ruin your life? Do you know where that woman lives? I'm going to find her and get to the bottom of this!"
Prescribing the wrong medication is a serious mistake. Once this charge is established, not only will it be recorded in her file, but she might also lose her job. Gu Yinxing could forget about working in the medical field.
No hospital would hire a nurse who dispenses the wrong medication.
He Chunlian knew her daughter had many flaws, but she would never make a mistake in this kind of matter; there was definitely something fishy going on.
"Mom!" Gu Jinshui quickly grabbed He Chunlian, "Please calm down."
He glanced outside and saw a figure peeking out from the East Wing Room. He snorted inwardly, walked over, and slammed the door shut.
The heads in the East Wing Room immediately shrank back.
Gu Jinshui then walked back and said, "If you go, do you think they'll tell the truth? Yin Xing is in the hospital, and her superiors and head nurse must have asked her questions over and over again, right?"
Gu Yinxing nodded, wiping away her tears, "I asked several times, but they all insisted that the medicine I gave them was wrong."
"That's right," Gu Jinshui. "I think this matter is either aimed at Yin Xing, or Yin Xing is just an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire. Do you know that woman?"
Gu Yinxing shook her head. "I don't know her. I only know her name is Lin Fengxian, and she lives near Sanyuan Bridge. By the way, her accent isn't local; it sounds more like she's from the south. She's thin and small, and she has a dark spot on her left cheek."
Lin Fengxian?
Gu Yousi was still worrying about her aunt when she heard the name and paused in surprise.
Why does this name sound so familiar?
Lin Fengxian? Lin Fengxian?!
Gu Yousi racked her brains for a moment and finally remembered who this person was. Wasn't this the wife of that scumbag Chen Shiwen in Yunnan?
She remembered that not long after her aunt married Chen Shiwen, she found another job. Lin Fengxian, knowing that Chen Shiwen had married her, was jealous and went to her aunt's workplace to stage an accident and cause trouble, which caused her aunt to lose her job.
Gu Yousi this matter was no longer going to happen, after all, her aunt and Chen Shiwen had broken up long ago.
Unexpectedly, this woman actually went to her aunt.
Gu Yinxing and the others were all stunned.
He Chunlian breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that she knew the reason; knowing the reason made things much easier to resolve!
She immediately made the decision. "Since we know the name and the place, let's go and find out. This matter is entrusted to your brother, Jin Shui. You need to pay close attention and find out the truth. We can't let your sister suffer in silence!"
"I see."
Gu Jinshui nodded, his face grim, his hand resting on his thigh. "I'll ask Douzi and Shanhu to help me find out. They dare to plot against my sister; they're really courting death."
Gu Yousi felt a little relieved after hearing that her grandmother and father had made arrangements.
Her grandma and her dad were incredibly capable; it was only a matter of time before they traced the investigation from Lin Fengxian to Chen Shiwen.
Gu Jinshui's words reassured Gu Yinxing considerably.
She wiped away her tears; her nose was red, but she didn't cry anymore.
Gu Jinshui was always decisive and efficient. He went to find Shanhu and Douzi early the next morning.
Upon hearing this, Douzi was furious, clenching her fists and shouting, "What kind of person is this? Trying to extort money from our sister at the hospital? Does he have a death wish?!"
Shanhu was also furious and said, "Brother, what do you suggest we do? We'll listen to you."
