Chapter 334 Divine Physician and Holy Father 6
Shortly after, a heart-wrenching wail echoed from inside the clinic.
"My dear wife, my dear wife, how could you leave like this?"
"It's you, you quack doctor! You killed my husband! I'm going to beat you to death!"
The place was noisy inside. When the onlookers outside heard that someone had died, they became even more excited and squeezed in to see what was going on.
Qingmo squeezed through the crowd and saw Old Man Li grabbing Li Yong by the collar, his face full of grief and indignation.
Li Yong looked bewildered and anxious. "I...I've done my best. Aunt Li's condition is too serious. She has a cerebral infarction. There's nothing I can do."
"You're talking nonsense! You're a quack! I saw it clearly just now. Your hand trembled slightly, and when you put the needle in, my husband coughed up blood and died."
Old Man Li was furious and punched Li Yong in the eye, leaving him with a black eye.
"I'm going to sue you! You quack doctor killed someone! I'll make you pay for my wife's life and punish you!" Old Li shouted, grabbing Li Yong and heading to the police station.
Li Yong struggled, he couldn't believe he had killed someone, but the facts were right in front of him.
He didn't know why, but for a moment his hand seemed to lose control, and the needle was indeed placed in the wrong spot.
But he knew he couldn't admit it; if he did, he couldn't bear the guilt.
"No, no, no, it has nothing to do with me. I dare say that there are very few hospitals in the whole country that can cure Aunt Li's illness. I really did my best, it's just that her health is not good."
The villagers started discussing it, with some thinking Li Yong's words made sense, while others thought he was just making excuses.
But Old Man Li wouldn't listen. He was convinced that Li Yong had killed someone and insisted on sending Li Yong to the police station no matter what.
In the end, it was the village chief who stepped forward.
“Old Li, we all know about Aunt Li’s illness. This matter really can’t be blamed on Li Yong. His medical skills are obvious to all. Why don’t we try to downplay this? She’s already dead. There’s no point in making a scene like this.”
"Nonsense! I saw it myself just now. It was Li Yong's hand that was shaking, and he inserted the wrong needle. According to what you're saying, village chief, then my wife died in vain!"
The village chief lit a cigarette, glanced at Li Yong, then turned and pulled Old Man Li aside to whisper to him.
No one knows what the village chief said, but in the end, Old Man Li gritted his teeth and agreed to a settlement. However, Li Yong had to pay 50,000 yuan in compensation and also have the debts his family owed written off.
"Fifty thousand yuan? Village chief, you know my family's situation. Where would I get that kind of money?"
The village chief frowned. "Li Yong, you'd better think of a way. Otherwise, Old Li won't give up, and there's no way to resolve this. After all, you really did kill someone."
The villagers were ignorant, but the village chief knew that Li Yong didn't have a medical license at all. If this matter blew up, Li Yong would most likely end up in jail.
The village chief was not so kind as to help Li Yong; he mainly wanted to use this incident to control Li Yong in the future.
Besides, everyone has their share of minor ailments. If Li Yong gets arrested, where are we going to find another idiot like him? Medical care is free, isn't it?
Li Yong was extremely anxious. Fifty thousand yuan was an astronomical figure for him, and his family simply couldn't afford that much money.
He knew better than anyone that no one but himself could cure Aunt Li's illness; sending her to a major hospital would only lead to her death. But that couldn't erase the fact that he had given her the wrong injection, and he could only accept it with a heavy heart.
I admit it, but I really don't have any money.
Now it was his turn to write an IOU to Old Man Li.
Old Man Li took the IOU, and could only carry Aunt Li's body home to hold the funeral.
He was well aware of his wife's illness; major hospitals had said it was incurable, and the surgery would cost at least tens of thousands of yuan. Over the years, she had remained healthy thanks to Li Yong's treatment.
Now that he has money to earn and doesn't have to serve that wretched old woman anymore, to be honest, Old Man Li is quite happy.
Maybe with this money, he can find a young and beautiful wife.
After watching the spectacle, Qingmo took Jue Er, packed her bags, and left. However, she was determined not to let Li Yong get away with it.
Ah, just you wait and see, Father.
Since the news of Li Yong's medical treatment causing death spread, fewer people have come to him for treatment, but it's not like there are none at all.
People who can't afford medical treatment still come as usual, after all, hospital fees are really too expensive.
Ordinary people can't afford to get sick, but Li Yong, through moral blackmail, doesn't have to pay anything.
As for his medical skills, everyone had some idea of what he was capable of. However, most people still had doubts about how Aunt Li actually died.
However, their plan backfired. Li Yong could refuse payment, but Old Man Li couldn't.
Li Yong is so poor, if these people write him IOUs, when will he ever be able to pay back this 50,000 yuan?
He would stand guard outside Li Yong's clinic every day, demanding payment from him for any medical treatment he wanted; otherwise, he wouldn't receive any treatment.
Fortunately, Li Yong's treatments were inexpensive, and because of his outburst, patients had no choice but to pay, but he never mentioned the money owed to him in the past.
"Dr. Li, I've hurt my back, please take a look at me quickly."
Several villagers helped Liu Xuewen over; he was limping and looked like he had fallen badly.
Li Yong glanced at his waist and said, "It's nothing serious, I'll give you an acupuncture."
"Okay, thank you, Dr. Li."
"Wait, hold on. If you want to see a doctor, you need to pay first."
Old Li stepped in between the two at just the right moment, causing Liu Xuewen, who had originally wanted to freeload, to lose his composure.
He turned his gaze to Li Yong, who shrugged, indicating his helplessness, since he owed money to someone.
Liu Xuewen had no choice but to grit his teeth and give him 150 yuan. Old Man Li took the money and obediently retreated to the door, continuing to wait for the next patient.
Li Yong was giving Liu Xuewen acupuncture when, for some reason, he became momentarily disoriented and misplaced the acupuncture point. Fortunately, no one else noticed.
After he finished the acupuncture, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he let out a long sigh of relief.
He said to Liu Xuewen, who was lying face down, "Get up, you're alright. Go back and rest for a few more days, and you'll be back to normal."
Liu Xuewen felt comfortable and slept soundly. He didn't feel anything when the needles were inserted into his lower back. When he tried to get up, he found that he couldn't.
"Dr. Li, what's wrong with me? Why can't I move?"
No matter how hard Liu Xuewen tried, he felt no sensation in his lower body and couldn't get up or exert any strength.
Goodness, after curing someone to death, Li Yong has now paralyzed someone. He's quite famous now.
The Liu family is not as easily fooled as Old Man Li; they only have one son in his late thirties.
To turn someone into a paralyzed person in an instant, that would be terrible!
