Chapter 323: Chapter 323
Gong Tao had no idea that Gong Zheng would encounter these issues; he was completely stunned.
He just stared blankly at the doctor, "What did you say?"
"Are you saying my dad’s finished?"
Although Gong Tao remained silent, he was feeling a bit sad inside.
The doctor looked at these two men who clearly did not know each other and was not in a good mood, "Why are you surprised now? Where were you before?"
Having been a doctor for so many years, he had seen all kinds of patients, but cases like Gong Dajiang’s were really rare.
"Doctor, I’m sorry, I was working as an educated youth in a rural area in the Northeast, and I rushed back as soon as I received the telegram from home."
"I didn’t know the situation was this serious."
"My mom and my sister-in-law didn’t tell us anything, not to mention me, the brother in the Northeast — even my brothers here weren’t informed. My mom didn’t notify them at all." Gong Zhuang refused to take the blame.
"Each time he was hospitalized, they never informed us. When we wanted to visit Dad, they wouldn’t let us in. If we made a fuss, they’d scold and beat us, saying we were unfilial and interrupting Dad’s rest."
"If my second brother hadn’t come back and secretly found out, we wouldn’t even know about this situation." Gong Zhuang said angrily.
"Because of this, my mom is so mad she won’t even come to the hospital." Although these people didn’t know each other, Gong Zhuang was someone who could make use of any situation, quickly clearing his name a little.
"Otherwise, Doctor, think about it, with how often my dad’s been in the hospital, aside from my mom and my oldest brother’s family, has anyone else come to visit him?" Gong Zhuang was certainly not exaggerating; Gong Dajiang’s hospitalization was indeed a tightly kept secret, no one was notified, including Gong Zheng.
Upon hearing this, the doctor realized that indeed, aside from these few people, no one else had come. But why was it done this way?
When an elderly person is hospitalized, isn’t it normal to call the children to the hospital to take care of them? Why was it different with this family? The doctor was a bit puzzled.
Gong Tao didn’t answer the doctor’s questions, but he didn’t need to; there was someone else who would talk — like Gong Zhuang beside him.
Of course, Gong Zhuang was quick to spill all the family’s dirty laundry to the doctor, leaving the surrounding doctors, nurses, and patients’ families stunned.
Gong Ruini watched as Gong Zhuang delivered his speech with rising and falling intonations. This person could actually consider becoming a host; look at how he stirred up the atmosphere.
Such a pity, such talent; just because of his birth generation, he missed out, what a waste.
As for the pitiful Gong Dajiang, who’s still concerned? He’s as good as dead, it’s just a matter of time.
"Doctor, regardless, please help treat my dad, what if he gets better?" Gong Zhuang just wanted to keep Gong Dajiang in the hospital; after all, with insurance covering the treatment, he could appear filial.
The doctor was quite helpless, but since the family insisted, he had no choice but to write an admission form. Such an elderly person was truly pitiful; having so many children, yet what’s the use? At least there needs to be filial piety; otherwise, all is for naught.
"Alright, I’ll have the nurse disinfect him." Since the family insisted, the doctor wouldn’t argue.
The nurse, upon hearing they needed to disinfect Gong Dajiang, was visibly reluctant; the smell was unbearable. During previous hospitalizations, the nurses were utterly disgusted.
"Did you guys clean the patient properly this time? These issues arise because you family members don’t take proper care." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel⟡fire.net
"If you kept the patient clean, how could the problem be this serious?" The nurse was quite irritable.
Gong Zhuang wasn’t annoyed at all; he kept apologizing, "It’s our family’s fault, it’s our fault."
"Before we came today, my second brother and sister-in-law even specially helped clean my dad, it’s just his clothes." Gong Zhuang wasn’t foolish enough to steal Gong Tao’s credit; that would be seeking death.
"As for the smell on my dad, we only just found out that my mom and my sister-in-law hadn’t washed his clothes for six months." Gong Zhuang looked troubled — when there’s a chance to step hard, one shouldn’t miss it.
No way, six months without washing clothes, what kind of daughter-in-law is this? People around were disdainful upon hearing this. Who’s this lazy woman? Truly a rare sight.
Discuss, discuss; if he weren’t worried about going too far, Gong Zhuang would’ve wanted to shout out Dong Li’s name, letting her enjoy the infamy.
Gong Zhuang was hesitant to say, but the nurse knew, "Is your sister-in-law Dong Li from the First Textile Factory’s labor department?"
Gong Ruini had brushed up on Gong family relatives’ names just to know a bit, never expecting the nurse to come out with it so quickly, so impressive.
Gong Zhuang was quite surprised too, "You know my sister-in-law?" Hopefully, they didn’t run into someone who got along well with his sister-in-law.
Gong Zhuang quickly steadied his emotions; even if she got along well with Dong Li, so what? He wasn’t lying; everything he said was the truth.
"Don’t know her, but she’s so arrogant." The nurse sneered, "A few years ago when hospitalized, she kept asking if the nurses had boyfriends, claiming she had a brother who was awesome."
Truly disgusting, with such a sister-in-law, life couldn’t be easy.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t still remember such a person after so many years.
No way, Dong Li actually wanted to find a nurse from the hospital to be her sister-in-law; with that scumbag, my goodness, Dong Li sure had high standards.
Gong Zhuang burst out laughing; even though it was from years ago, the nurse still remembered, showing that his sister-in-law’s actions were quite outlandish, "Lucky no one fell for it; otherwise, my family probably wouldn’t dare to come here for treatment."
Gong Zhuang couldn’t help but feel grateful; if they had hired a nurse from this hospital, likely the Gong family wouldn’t be welcome here.
It’s not that they wouldn’t treat you, but the attitude might not be good, "My sister-in-law’s brother is always causing trouble and has already cost quite a bit."
While the nurse was disinfecting Gong Dajiang, Gong Zhuang seized the chance to dish the dirt on the Dong family, "We’ve already lost so much to them; that’s why my big brother went to the Dong family today to ask for money."
"They borrowed so much from my parents without treating my dad well; who would dare to have such a daughter-in-law?" Gong Zhuang was delighted, showing Dong Li really wasn’t someone who knew how to act.
"Ah, that’s terrible." The nurse hadn’t realized Dong Li was such a mess, introducing such a man; thank goodness no one fell for it.
"Yeah, soon the Dong family’s house will be ours, and my sister-in-law might not remain my sister-in-law. If it weren’t for their married daughter supporting them, the Dong family would’ve been much worse off."
Gong Zhuang was in good spirits; without anyone to hinder him, it felt fantastic, and in good mood, he naturally spilled all sorts of marital dirty laundry between Gong Qiang and his wife.
