Chapter 236 Demanding Medical Fees 2
Deng Wentao still hoped to maintain at least a superficial peace with Feng Qingqing. Only in this way could there be some room for reconciliation should other unexpected events occur later.
If things completely fall apart, then it's hard to say what will happen.
Seeing his brother's behavior now, it's clear he must have angered Feng Qingqing.
He knew Feng Qingqing well. The fact that she was so ruthless in front of the Deng family in the courtyard showed that she had no intention of easing or maintaining their relationship.
This was also what he found most unacceptable. In his view, Feng Qingqing was trying to sever ties with the Deng family and never have anything to do with them again.
Since Fang Guangmei could see his mother's behavior these past few days, he, as her biological son, certainly wouldn't be any later than Fang Guangmei.
Since his mother started acupuncture, her demeanor and behavior have improved somewhat in the past few days.
At least he wasn't like before, constantly frowning and looking extremely irritable, as if he was about to explode at any moment.
His mother's ability to do this is something that would be very difficult to achieve in Beijing.
Moreover, he always had a vague feeling that Feng Qingqing was not very attentive to his mother's treatment. Although he had not been involved in the entire treatment of his father-in-law and younger brother, he had seen them once or twice, and their condition was completely different from when Feng Qingqing was treating his mother.
Moreover, no one knows a child better than their mother, and vice versa.
Although he said he would be returning to Beijing tomorrow, his mother has suffered from headaches for so many years, and now that she has encountered something that can slightly alleviate the pain, he imagines she won't give up easily.
His mother is strong-willed and stubborn; she is determined to do what she wants to do.
Whether at home or outside.
He could tell that his mother's decision to return to Beijing the next day was only a temporary measure, and that she would definitely find a way to continue looking for Feng Qingqing later.
He had been having a headache over this matter for the past two days. He knew that Feng Qingqing looked peaceful and docile on the surface, but in his years of experience judging people, Feng Qingqing was actually a person who was gentle on the outside but tough on the inside.
They will not change their principles because of some external reasons.
Besides, she is a doctor after all. If they force her or she is unwilling, even if she agrees to treat his mother, can they feel at ease?
After all, treating illnesses is not like anything else; there can be no coercion or force involved.
He was secretly worried about this matter, never expecting that his brother, who was more trouble than he was worth, would do something like this again.
He could see that although Feng Qingqing's attitude seemed calm, he could actually sense a kind of determination in her unhurried actions.
After saying this, Feng Qingqing ignored the reactions of the people in the courtyard and continued speaking calmly:
"I know your Deng family is not short of money. Please pay the consultation fee in full before today's treatment."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wu Bixia, who had said she would pay the money the day before, blushed with embarrassment.
She felt that she had never suffered such humiliation in her entire life.
What a shame!
She, a dignified old lady of the Deng family, was repeatedly asked for medical fees. Although 800 yuan was a lot of money, it was not much to her.
She was trembling slightly with anger, glaring at her youngest son, her hands clenched tightly, vowing to teach him a lesson when she got back.
After glancing at his eldest son one last time, Deng Wentao, seeing his mother's expression, immediately took out eighty ten-yuan bills from his pocket and handed them to Feng Qingqing without saying a word.
For reasons unknown, Feng Qingqing took the money and then counted it again in front of everyone.
After a moment, he clapped his hands with the thick wad of cash and spoke somewhat flippantly:
"800 yuan, not a penny more, not a penny less, received."
After speaking, he glanced at the various expressions on the faces of the people in the courtyard, then looked at the five ten-yuan bills lying on the ground, chuckled, and said:
“The fifty yuan in this yard belongs to your Deng family. Go and pick it up yourselves.”
After saying that, he ignored the others and turned back to the living room.
Meanwhile, Grandma Fang, who was sitting in the living room, felt somewhat embarrassed.
She hadn't expected to witness such a scene today, and now she felt uneasy whether she stayed or left.
Actually, when Grandma Fang entered the courtyard, she saw the five ten-yuan bills on the ground and was about to pick them up, thinking that Feng Qingqing had accidentally dropped them.
At that moment, Feng Qingqing grabbed her right arm and led her into the room without saying a word.
He explained the origin of the money as he walked:
"Godmother, I have other uses for it, so please don't worry about it for now."
When Grandma Fang heard Feng Qingqing say this, she assumed that something was wrong and didn't pay much attention to it.
Unexpectedly, the Deng family entered shortly afterward, and she overheard the entire conversation between the two sides while inside the house, feeling a burning sensation in her heart.
Now that I think about it, the fifty yuan on the ground must have been a despicable act by the Deng family to deliberately humiliate Feng Qingqing.
Otherwise, based on her understanding of Feng Qingqing's personality, this girl would never have done something so embarrassing for them when their elders were present.
She stood in the room for a long time, thinking, and felt that this must have been done by Deng Wenwei, the youngest son of the Deng family.
When the Deng family first arrived, she could tell that Deng Wenwei was not a peaceful person.
Even towards his sister-in-law, Fang Guangmei, who was also his husband's niece, he showed little respect in his eyes and manner.
His words and expressions also showed extreme contempt.
And that's how this strange thing happened.
Grandma Fang was also extremely helpless at this moment. She and her husband had tried their best to maintain their relationship with Feng Qingqing.
Unexpectedly, the people behind him kept sabotaging him.
Although this matter has no direct connection with the Fang family.
But after all, it was the old man's niece, Fang Guangmei, who invited them, and they were also her in-laws.
Regardless of the circumstances, Fang Guangmei had to maintain the dignity and position of her husband's family when she was out in public.
Given Fang Guangmei's brother-in-law's impulsive and spoiled nature, conflicts are bound to arise sooner or later if they spend too much time together.
You see, given Feng Qingqing's personality, although she seems aloof, she doesn't care much about some small things. For example, she often doesn't accept money from the elderly couple when they offer her health-preserving pills.
She could tell that the girl didn't care much about these things, but the fact that Feng Qingqing was now demanding medical fees from the Deng family showed how Feng Qingqing treated the Deng family and even Fang Guangmei.
Under normal circumstances, Feng Qingqing would never do such a thing.
She felt a vague anxiety in her heart. She didn't know how things would turn out in the end. Moreover, she could tell that Fang Guangmei's mother-in-law, Wu Bixia, was no pushover. She had clearly been ruling the household like a tyrant for a long time and would not easily compromise or forgive.
Now that I've encountered Feng Qingqing, who has a seemingly soft but actually strong personality, I wonder what kind of conflicts will arise in the future.
