357: Chapter 0358: Shrewish Image 357: Chapter 0358: Shrewish Image Inside the emergency room, the fate of Butcher He was unknown, but outside, Li Lanfang was shouting and screaming like a shrew.

The scene that followed was even more embarrassing for the young traffic policeman.

“Did you take money from the dump truck driver?”

“You bastard, you’re colluding with the dump truck driver to bully my husband!”

…

This young traffic policeman felt so wronged!

Although he was on duty tonight, he had rushed over immediately after receiving the emergency call, putting his heart and soul into handling this traffic accident.

Yet now, this middle-aged woman with little education was accusing him of taking money from the dump truck driver.

Though it was common for traffic police to covertly take money from violators, he had not accepted any money tonight.

Besides, the accident was so severe that any amount of money would be useless and might even cost him his ‘iron rice bowl’ – his stable job.

Furthermore, his job was lucrative enough that he didn’t need to take those bribes.

“You definitely took that dump truck driver’s dirty money!”

“I’m going to report you!”

Li Lanfang was still sitting there, shouting and cursing at the young traffic policeman like a shrew when he, too, became angry and said, “This is my badge number; go ahead and report me if you want.”

He had never been so insulted before — usually only the wealthy and high-ranking officials dared to berate him.

He never expected that a common woman would treat him this way now.

That he restrained himself from slapping her was already commendable.

“Mom, Mom, please don’t say any more,” He Xiaoqing pleaded beside her.

But when Li Lanfang remembered that her husband was not only drunk driving but also driving without a license and against traffic, with all the blame for the accident falling on him, her true nature surfaced.

She thought that if she kept cursing at the young traffic policeman, he would become scared, and somehow the responsibility would shift to the dump truck driver.

But this wasn’t going to work at all.

The young traffic policeman, hearing her accusations, only grew to despise her more.

He was sure to report the incident truthfully, and he might even omit mentioning the truck’s overloading, which would ensure that the greater share of the blame fell on Butcher He.

“You took the dump truck driver’s dirty money; I’m going to kill you!”

What He Xiaoqing didn’t expect was that her mother, who had just been sitting on the ground, suddenly got up, grabbed the young traffic policeman’s uniform, and began to tear at it fiercely.

The young traffic policeman really lost it!

He should have left earlier.

He had wanted to stay to check on the condition of the patient inside, to take a photo back with him, but now, encountering such a shrew, he lost all desire to do so.

Young and hot-blooded, especially since he was also a young traffic policeman, upon seeing Li Lanfang’s frenzied behavior, he could not help but slap her fiercely across the face.

Unexpectedly, Li Lanfang burst into tears and shouts, saying, “The traffic police are hitting people!”

“The traffic police took a bribe and are hitting people!”

“My husband was hit by a dump truck driver; the traffic police took a bribe, I don’t want to live anymore.”

…

The young traffic officer was truly infuriated, he hadn’t expected to encounter such a shameless harridan.

And at that moment, as Butcher Zhu and Butcher Zhou arrived, they hurriedly pulled Li Lanfang aside.

From a distance, they had seen Li Lanfang acting like a deranged woman, tugging and screaming at the young traffic officer.

Now that they had approached, they knew for certain that Li Lanfang must have lost her mind.

They were very familiar with Li Lanfang’s kind of person and understood well that she always wanted to take advantage of situations but feared responsibility.

After Li Lanfang was restrained by Butcher Zhu and Butcher Zhou, the young traffic officer said, “Your friend’s wife is truly a madwoman.

Just now when I mentioned her husband was at the greatest fault, she accused me of taking bribes from the truck driver.

You were watching the whole time; I didn’t take any money.

Even when that truck driver offered me cigarettes, I didn’t accept them.”

“Traffic officer, I’m so sorry.

My sister-in-law might have been momentarily overwhelmed,” someone said apologetically.

“Overwhelmed?

Your friend himself was drunk driving and driving without a license, looking for death, and it has nothing to do with others,” the young traffic officer said coldly.

Just as Li Lanfang wanted to say something else, she was silenced by Butcher Zhou who then looked at her and said, “If you don’t want to kill Old He, then stop spouting nonsense.”

Now Butcher Zhou and others seemed to understand why Ye Weidong’s son didn’t like Li Lanfang’s daughter.

With such a mother, they wouldn’t want her even if she was given away for free.

Butcher Zhou had also heard that He Xiaoqing’s parents were keen on introducing her to his son.

But now Butcher Zhou didn’t even need to think about it; he definitely wouldn’t want such a woman for his son.

Moreover, his son was a university student, and given He Xiaoqing’s circumstances, she was simply not suitable for him.

After being warned by Butcher Zhu and Butcher Zhou, Li Lanfang didn’t dare to act unreasonably or play the part of the shrew as before, but instead sat outside the emergency room, vacant-eyed and expressionless.

Old He had been in the emergency room for over an hour and a half, still undergoing resuscitation.

However, a female nurse came out from the ward.

Butcher Zhu and Butcher Zhou quickly gathered around, eager to inquire about Old He’s condition when the nurse asked, “Who is the patient’s family member?”

“I am, I’m his wife,”

Li Lanfang, somewhat more lucid, stood up and said.

“The patient’s condition has been temporarily stabilized for now, but you need to go and pay a medical and hospitalization fee first,” the nurse said.

In the hospital, patients are always required to pay first before doctors will treat them.

Because this was an emergency and a car accident, the doctors and nurses had proceeded with the treatment.

However, since the treatment is only halfway done, there is a fear that the patient’s family might not have the money to pay later on, in which case the hospital’s doctors certainly wouldn’t continue treatment but would have the patient leave the hospital or transfer to another hospital for treatment.

“How much is needed?”

Upon hearing about money, Li Lanfang immediately became very sensitive, her spirit noticeably rising from before.

“You need to pay five hundred thousand for a start.

As to whether this half a million will be sufficient, we still don’t know.

Plus, over the next few days, he might need surgery, so the medical costs are likely not going to be enough.

It would be best if your family prepares more,” the nurse said indifferently.

Half a million?

Half a million still isn’t enough?

Li Lanfang almost fainted.

For Li Lanfang, who worked hard selling pork for a living, that half a million was literally her life’s savings, and she had scraped it together over many long years.

She never imagined that now she would have to give it all up for Old He’s medical expenses, and that it might still not suffice!
