Chapter 480: Discrimination
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At this moment, only Madam Ou was guarding Ou Li l s bed. She was holding a grudge against Xiao Sheng for hurting her son, so when she saw this scene, she also went to the end of Xiao Li l s bed and said sarcastically, “Isn’t that so? They’re a group of rural bumpkins. They don’t have money, but they still insisted on coming to a big hospital in S City.” ...
“The people in S City don’t even have enough medical resources themselves! If not for the fact that we’re worried about my grandson’s eyes, we would have gone back long ago. Living with a group of out-of-town people makes us smell like dirt. It wasn’t easy for us to wait until the others left, but we still have to stay with this family.”
Madam Ou’s words were filled with disdain. S City was the only city in the country that had always been as famous as the capital, so the people of S City always felt a sense of superiority towards people from other provinces. Usually, when they saw people from other provinces, they were very condescending.
When Xiao Lin heard the other party’s words, he suddenly understood why they pretended not to hear him when he greeted them previously and why when he went to play with Ou Li when the Ou family wasn’t around, Ou Li would roll his eyes at him.
Xiao Lin lowered his eyes and gritted his teeth as he grabbed the corner of his shirt tightly.
Yu Bing stopped Xiao Sheng when he wanted to speak. In non-working settings, it wasn’t suitable for a man to quarrel with a woman. If he lost, he would suffer humiliation as well. It was a catch-22 situation.
After Yu Bing stood up and walked to them, she sized up Jiang Heng and Ning Bi from head to toe. This action wasn’t polite, but it was Yu Bings response to the two of them being rude just now.
The couple in front of her had probably never been sized up like this before, so their expressions were a little ugly. Yu Bing felt a little better and asked, “You two are cadres, right?”
Yu Bing looked at Madam Ou again. “And you’re a retired worker?”
Madam Ou immediately straightened her back and revealed her identity proudly. “I’m an old employee of S City’s cotton mill! I’ve been deemed a model worker as well!
Yu Bing smiled and clapped as she said, “Speaking of which, city dwellers should be more enlightened than us bumpkins, but now, all of you keep calling us bumpkins. Why? Don’t you eat the vegetables planted by bumpkins? Are you planning to promote the theory of discrimination between rural and urban areas this time? Or is it the theory of inequality?”
‘i l thought that rural people like us still had some status in this country, but it seems that I’m too ignorant. It’s not easy for me to come to S City, so I have to find the relevant departments to report your theories and determine which is the right one.”
The country had already been advocating equality for twenty to thirty years. At various conferences, they kept emphasizing the importance of the peasant class, but their arguments were the complete opposite. If the relevant departments found out, they would definitely arrest them.
When Madam Ou heard this, she quickly defended herself. “I didn’t say anything just now!” Then, she scurried back to her bed.
Ning Bi opened her mouth a few times before closing it again. She didn’t know what to say for a moment. In the end, she said, “Let’s not talk about anything else. You need money, right? I’ll give you another 2,000 yuan.”
After Yu Bing picked up the 10,000 yuan tied to the bed with a rubber band, she threw it at Ning Bi. “I won’t even consider adding 20,000 yuan. Materialistic people only have the pleasure of squandering money left.”
This time, Yu Bing spoke with disdain and arrogance.
The confrontation just now let the couple realize that this family was a tough nut to crack, so they no longer asked for trouble and left with the money.
After Dr. Min finished checking the ward, he returned to the office and saw two patients’ families standing inside.
When Jiang Heng and Ning Bi saw their daughter’s attending doctor, they stood up and greeted him.
Dr. Min thought that something had happened to the patient and asked with concern, “Please sit down. Did something happen to Jiang Nuan’s eyes?
Ning Bi pretended not to know anything and replied with a smile, “Jiang
Nuan’s eyes are fine. We heard that the little girl in front of us hasn’t
undergone surgery yet, right?”
Dr. Min nodded. “Yes, the donor can last until the Spring Festival and hopes to spend another year with his family, so after our discussion, the surgery was scheduled for tomorrow.”
After Ning Bi and her husband exchanged looks, Ning Bi said slowly, “Time is quite tight, so I hope you can give this spot to my daughter..”
