After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! - Chapter 971
971 We Want an Explanation
“Don’t bullshit! What VIP route! These are all your excuses! You’re definitely getting in through the back door! You’re the one giving her preferential treatment! Don’t you dare to admit it!” the man shouted as he pointed at Xia Fang.
The people standing around were all supportive of what the man said. They wanted the hospital and Xia Fang to give them a reasonable explanation. They did not care if it was other people who were affected, but if they were the ones at a disadvantage, they would demand for an explanation even if they had to risk their lives.
Xia He stood at the side and decided that she had enough. She came forward and said to the man, “Do you even know what a VIP route is?”
“Why won’t I know! It’s something for you people to get in through the back door! You think you can fool us by coming up with a term that we can’t understand. Do you take us for fools! Everyone, don’t you think so!” the man said confidently.
More and more people started to gather behind him, including many pregnant women who did not know what was going on. In the event that everyone started pushing one another and it led to a stampede, the consequences could be dire.

“That’s right!”
“You’re right! We definitely want an explanation!”
Everyone shouted out their opinions and the entire lobby became noisy again. Xia He angrily took a flower pot from the side, held it high and smashed it down hard. The loud sound made the crowd quiet down.
“Don’t use ignorance as your bargaining chip. We actually pay double the amount of money that you pay. As long as you can afford it, no one will stop you from using the VIP route. Now, we’ll give you this opportunity. If you pay up, your wife can also use the VIP route now. Will you fork out the cash?” Xia He said calmly.
Everyone turned to stare at the man. They were all curious about what the man would do. This man was from the countryside and he had eight brothers, him being the eldest. Even after he got married with much difficulty, his finances were still being dragged down by his brothers at home. He still had to give his parents all the money he earned so that they could provide for his younger brothers first. Under such circumstances, he was already barely able to scrape together some money to bring his wife to the hospital
The man flew into a rage out of humiliation and glared at Xia He as he shouted, “So what if you have money? What’s so great about that? Do you think you can look down on us commoners just because you have money! Do you think you have more rights than us just because you have money! Who knows if your money comes from dishonest sources! Honest people like us look down on dirty money!”
Xia He laughed mockingly and just stared at the man quietly without saying anything. The man became angrier and angrier. He rushed towards Xia He and grabbed her collar as he shouted, “What are you laughing at! Am I that funny! Am I a joke to you!”
“That’s right, I’m laughing at you. I’m laughing at you for being so useless and unable to provide your wife with a better life. That’s why you’re venting your anger on us. Your pregnant wife is standing in the queue, but what are you doing? You’re going around looking for trouble. It’s not as if the VIP route only exists today. There has always been a big sign at the door. Don’t you see it? Don’t blame us because you can’t afford the service,” Xia He said.
The man still said stubbornly, “Who knows how to read those words… Don’t change the topic!”
“Does the fact that you’re illiterate give you a reason to blame others for being educated? Do you think the hospital is a charity organization? It’s the hospital staff’s job to save the dying and help the injured, but are they all immortals who don’t need money? Are the meager medical fees that you pay enough to maintain and repair the hospital’s equipment? Where does the hospital get the money to pay the doctors? Don’t they all need to support their families? If there are no VIP route users like us who pay high medical fees in exchange for a shorter wait, the hospital would need to close down,” Xia He said.
The man did not know how to answer. He had never thought about such things. His own family was about to fall apart and he was having a tough time, so he was not in the mood to care about others. Whether the hospital made a profit or not had nothing to do with him. He could barely even afford the medical fees now.
However, he agreed with one thing that Xia He said. He felt that the hospital should treat all patients unconditionally. The hospital must provide the services that it was being paid for.
“You… you’re using distorted arguments! Anyway, it’s all your fault! You should not jump the queue! You should queue up with everyone else!” the man braced himself and said insistently.
