Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 1046: Chapter 1046: The Warmth and Coldness of Human Relationships

Bai Xiao came to the hospital, inquired about the location of the cardiology ward, and as soon as she reached the floor, she heard Yu Feixue’s voice.

It seemed like she was arguing with someone.

"What’s wrong with you? Every time my mother comes, she stays in the high-staff ward, and this time you’re arranging for her to be in this noisy eight-person room? How can she rest like this? She has heart disease, not a cold or fever; this setup is detrimental to the patient’s rest."

Due to anxiety, Yu Feixue’s voice was hoarse; this girl must have been going through a tough time these past few days.

Yu Shaoyan had been isolated for investigation for a few days, and their family had been turned upside down.

The head nurse said helplessly, "Miss Yu, it’s not that we don’t want to arrange it, it’s because it doesn’t meet the regulations! Previously, your mother stayed in Director Yu’s high-staff ward, but now the higher-ups require strict compliance with procedures, and we have no choice. If we’re found out, we’d be punished.

This isn’t something we’re doing on purpose. If you really find it inappropriate, spend some money on a private room. Although it’s a bit more expensive, it’s quiet, comfortable, and the conditions are better."

It was clear the head nurse wasn’t intentionally causing trouble, but Bai Xiao understood very well—Yu Shaoyan was in trouble, and others might not know! These hospital deans certainly understood very well that when an order comes from above, those below have to comply.

This is the warmth and coldness of human relationships, the fickleness of the world.

Yu Feixue’s stable life of decades was finally defeated by reality.

"You... you..." Yu Feixue was so angry she couldn’t speak.

What could she say now? That others were doing wrong, or that they weren’t following the rules and procedures?

Mother also had a job, but she definitely didn’t enjoy the benefits father did. Every time mother could enjoy cadre treatment here, it was because her father was Yu Shaoyan. Now, as soon as father had issues, all of mother’s privileges were immediately dropped to the bottom; it truly shows the warmth and coldness of human relationships.

But who could be blamed for this?

With a bitter smile, could they afford the VIP room?

The family conditions were good, but they weren’t rich.

Her father’s position was high, but he was a clean and honest person.

He never did anything to use his position for private gain, of course, occasionally doing some minor favors is quite normal. But to say he took bribes or helped others break the rules...

As his daughter, she absolutely didn’t believe it.

If father really took bribes, then why when mother is hospitalized, would they say to stay in the VIP room, yet they would find it difficult?

The VIP room costs a thousand a day, and that’s not including all the medication and treatment fees.

She’s already checked the savings account, and it only has tens of thousands; if they spend all this money...

What would happen if something else happens at home?

Moreover, mother has heart disease; just earlier the doctor also talked to her about it, saying the disease needs heart bypass surgery.

Otherwise, it’s only treating the symptoms, not the root cause.

At mother’s age, if the surgery is done, the recovery for future health would be quick.

But if they delay a few more years, not mentioning spending money, people will suffer anyway, and the final solution is still this surgery.

So it’s just a matter of when this money is spent.

But a penny can knock down a hero; can the current situation allow her to spend money lavishly?

It’s truly a maddening fact.

"Let’s not do it." She said this bitterly, finally realizing that without father’s protection, she was tasting the fluctuations of human compassion for the first time.

Turning around to return to the ward, the head nurse shook her head with pity; Lord Yu was a good person, and his family wasn’t the type to look down on others. Many times, they were willing to take care of cadre families like this, unlike many others who treated nurses with disdain, commanding them around; Yu Feixue was actually quite good.

But what use is her pity?

She was just a head nurse; in this hospital, her words wouldn’t make a splash. Each sweeps their own doorstep; don’t worry about the frost on others’ tiles. noveldrama

The young nurse beside looked at Yu Feixue’s drooping shoulders as she returned to the ward and began whispering.

"Is Lord Yu really falling? Is he going down?"

They were all half-informed, none knew the specifics.

"Who knows? But it doesn’t look good; didn’t you see they’re not even allowing her to stay in the high-staff ward? I heard it’s an order from above. Of course, we do what the higher-ups say. It looks like it’ll be tough."

"Sigh, this is really something; never thought someone like Lord Yu could be a corrupt official."

"What can you think? We’re just little nurses; such matters are not for us to judge. Even if we don’t know what Lord Yu has done, no wind without waves."

"Ah! Apparently, it’s better to be ordinary citizens, less trouble."

"Forget it, who doesn’t wish for a father who is an official? If I had a father like that, would I still be here working as a nurse, always being looked down upon?"

"But if it’s like Yu Feixue, maybe having a father who is a worker isn’t so bad."

Bai Xiao turned and went downstairs, to the bank outside the hospital, and took out fifty thousand yuan. She heard from Yu Feixue about the aunt’s condition needing surgery, and it’s been postponed. Now the situation is getting worse. The surgery must be done, and it cannot be that the uncle bears unjust grievances, and even the family suffers as well.

She couldn’t watch as these people bullies her aunt without helping.

It seemed that many people had already gotten news about Yu Shaoyan’s situation; this was probably considered as kicking someone when they’re down.

She handed the payment slip to the head nurse, who was taken aback upon seeing the VIP room payment slip, looking at the young girl in front of her, so young and unseen, not knowing her background.

"Please help arrange it; we’ll immediately move to the VIP room."

The VIP room certainly can enjoy such treatment.

The head nurse immediately nodded, calling over two young nurses, "Xiaoli, Xiaowang, come! Help me move bed number eight to the VIP room."

The two young nurses exchanged looks.

But they moved quickly.

The VIP room was not something just anyone could afford; the daily costs could make anyone dumbfounded. Their monthly salary couldn’t cover even half a day’s stay.

Bai Xiao accompanied the head nurse and others to the ward, and as she entered, she saw the patients in several beds all making noise; after all, eight people plus accompanying family members made it noisier than a market.

Yu Feixue was feeding aunt water; her mother had suffered a serious heart attack this time and was bedridden.

Seeing the haggard Yu Feixue, Bai Xiao walked over.

"Xiaoxue! Aunt."

She set the nutritional products she was carrying aside; upon seeing Bai Xiao, tears welled up in Yu Feixue’s eyes; at this time, she needed family support so much, her mother sick, and she didn’t dare tell grandparents, afraid the elderly couple would worry too, and they weren’t in good health either.

If the elderly couple collapsed too, the family would be finished.

"Xiaoxiao. You’ve come."
