Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints

Chapter 330 - 181: At Least You’re Rich, Pickier About Your Girlfriend Choices

It’s been a long time since I followed Yuan Xiaozao’s "You and the Spring Breeze Are Both Passersby." This book’s copyright has already been purchased by Yang Chen, so he definitely needs to keep an eye on the novel’s progress and subsequent quality.

Yang Chen read all the subsequent Chapters in one go, and after careful consideration, he called Yuan Xiaozao.

Soon, Yuan Xiaozao answered the phone.

Yang Chen: "Hey, am I disturbing your rest?"

Yuan Xiaozao: "No, is there something you need from me?"

Yang Chen: "I had some free time today and caught up on your updated Chapters. The latest ones seem a bit off. Are you feeling unwell? Did you have a fight with your family?"

Yuan Xiaozao: "Something happened to my mom, and I’m a bit out of sorts, so my writing might be a bit messy. I’m sorry. Tomorrow I’ll contact the editor to get editing permissions and revise the latest Chapters."

Yang Chen: "No rush. What happened to your mom?"

Yuan Xiaozao then explained her mom’s situation to Yang Chen.

Yuan Xiaozao’s mom, named Zhang Jieying, is a doctor at Renmin Hospital, primarily responsible for cesarean sections and similar duties.

Last week, a pregnant woman came to the hospital, already three days past her due date but still hadn’t given birth.

After a consultation with Zhang Jieying and other experts, they unanimously recommended a cesarean section for the woman.

However, the woman’s husband and mother-in-law were unwilling to have a cesarean, insisting on waiting for a natural delivery.

Another day passed, and the woman finally went into labor.

But after laboring for most of the day without giving birth, a cesarean section became necessary.

Zhang Jieying brought the notification forms for the family to sign and immediately arranged for the cesarean section.

However, the woman’s mother-in-law and husband still refused the cesarean, insisting on a natural delivery.

Zhang Jieying was frantic. After more than an hour without success, she confronted the husband, urging him to sign the forms. Without the surgery, both the mother and child wouldn’t survive.

Moreover, the woman’s blood pressure had risen, and the situation was critical. They also needed the family to sign a consent form allowing the doctor to use medication as needed.

Yet, the woman’s mother-in-law and husband stubbornly refused to sign, adamant about a natural delivery.

The mother-in-law even remarked that in the past, babies were born at home without any issues, so why now in the hospital does it require medications and surgery? The hospital was accused of being greedy and heartless, among other things.

Unwilling to watch both mother and child perish, Zhang Jieying decided to administer medication and perform surgery without family consent.

However, due to the prolonged delay, the woman’s heartbeat had already stopped before the surgery could begin.

Ultimately, the doctors managed to save the baby, but the woman didn’t make it off the operating table.

Upon learning their daughter-in-law died during surgery, the mother-in-law and husband blamed the doctors, calling the family over to protest, wailing and demanding the hospital take responsibility.

As the attending doctor, Zhang Jieying became the primary target of the family’s anger.

Zhang Jieying presented surveillance footage and other evidence to the family and the police, showing she repeatedly urged the family to consent to the cesarean and medication administration, but they refused.

When she finally decided to perform the cesarean against regulations, the woman had already lost her heartbeat, leaving the doctor with no choice but to save the baby through surgery.

From a legal standpoint and hospital policy, she committed no wrongdoing. The blame fell on the husband, primarily, and the mother-in-law secondarily.

However, the husband argued that even without his signature, the doctor had a duty to save the woman.

In short, they demanded the hospital take responsibility, refusing to leave until their demands were met, even threatening to die in the hospital if necessary.

The police found themselves powerless in this situation.

The mother-in-law even started banging her head against the wall, making the police reluctant to act too forcefully, lest she injure herself and they become targets for more trouble.

Their disturbance severely impacted the hospital’s operations.

Eventually, the hospital conceded, paying 200,000 yuan and firing Zhang Jieying.

Only then did the family agree to leave the hospital alone.

However, they didn’t plan to let Zhang Jieying go and hired a lawyer to sue her.

Zhang Jieying felt extremely wronged. She hadn’t done anything wrong, so why was she facing this outcome?

For the past few days, she locked herself at home, refusing food, drink, or any visitors. How could Yuan Xiaozao focus on her writing under such circumstances?

After listening to Yuan Xiaozao’s account, Yang Chen comforted her: "Don’t worry, the responsibility doesn’t lie with your mom, so there’s nothing to fear. Where do your parents live? Tomorrow, have them visit Zhang Sanfeng’s law firm, bringing their personal documents. I’ll have Lawyer Zhang Xiang represent her in defense. She won’t bear any responsibility and can countersue the hospital and the patient’s family. I assure you, we’ll definitely win."

Yuan Xiaozao: "Zhang Xiang? Is that the internet-famous lawyer known for being able to get opposing counsel jailed?"

Yang Chen: "Yes!"

Yuan Xiaozao: "Great, great, thank you so much. My parents live over in Songjiang. I’ll call them right now to meet the lawyer tomorrow. Can you pick me up tomorrow? I want to go and see for myself."

Yang Chen: "Sure! I’ll pick you up at nine in the morning."

After hanging up, Yang Chen called Zhang Xiang, and Yuan Xiaozao called her mom.

At nine in the morning, Yang Chen arrived punctually at the entrance of Yuan Xiaozao’s residential complex.

Yuan Xiaozao got lost again, so she had to rely on navigation.

Just then, the contractor Chen Ming came over with a girl.
