Chapter Twenty-Six: Something Happened at the Clinic
The day after Lu Xingchen accompanied Mencius to the hospital for a prenatal checkup, he went on a business trip abroad and came back about a week later.
Before leaving, of course, he told Mencius, who was pregnant, that Mencius asked him to put one hundred and twenty hearts, but he actually said that he only had one heart, and Mencius could not refute this.
And on the first day of his business trip, Mencius was already thinking, how to spend these seven days happily?
The thought hadn't come out yet, but her eyelids kept jumping, she just thought it was normal and didn't care.
It wasn't until she received a call from Meng Ma in the afternoon that she felt that this was a bad sign.
On the phone, Meng's mother cried and cried that Meng's father was reported for illegally practicing medicine, and now he has been taken to the detention center.
Meng's father's clinic is Chinese medicine since his father's generation, saying that Chinese medicine is actually some family secret recipes and the like, most of the incurable diseases can be cured by prescriptions, the neighborhood has a very good reputation, and many people from afar come to visit, and they have never been safe, why was it suddenly reported?
Towards evening, Mencius arrived at his home, and the taxi stopped at the door of his house.
Mencius saw Meng Ma standing at the door in the car, probably waiting for her, with an anxious look.
When Mencius got out of the car, he had forgotten that he was pregnant, and trotted over a little quickly.
When I took a closer look, I found that Meng Ma's face was full of tears, and the whole person lost her stern look.
Mencius's nose was sour, tears swirled in his eyes, and Mengzi's mother saw Mencius crying, and she cried along.
Mencius helped Meng's mother into the house, and Meng's mother cried while talking about Meng's father's appearance when he was taken away, and cried even more fiercely after speaking.
Mencius was also uncomfortable in her heart, she suddenly thought of Lu Xingchen, if he was there, the matter would definitely be solved, even if it was a little tricky, but with him, she felt down-to-earth in her heart, but he was far away in the sky, how could he save the near fire.
Meng Ma suddenly stopped crying, "Nizi, isn't Xingchen a lawyer?" You call Xingchen now, ask him to help, and get your Meng Dad out quickly. ”
Mencius came back to her senses and saw that Meng Ma was looking at her with expectant eyes, she couldn't bear to hit Meng Ma, so she had to tell the truth, "Mom, he's on a business trip!" ”
"How do you know? It seems that you have listened to Mom's words, and it is good to have contact, since you are on a business trip, there is no way, but where can you find a lawyer at this time? Otherwise, I'd better ask someone! Let's see if my mom's friends know some lawyers! ”
Meng's mother said that she was about to pick up the mobile phone, but at this time, she heard Mencius's mobile phone ringing and put the mobile phone down again.
Mencius was not surprised at all that it was Zhao Chenxi, after all, during this time, because of Lu Xingchen's relationship and colleagues, she and Zhao Chenxi were already somewhat familiar, but she suddenly called, which made Mencius think that maybe he could ask her for help.
"Hey, Sister Chenxi, why did you call?" Mencius said.
"That's right, hasn't Xingchen been on a business trip recently? Sheng Nan and I are afraid that you will be bored at home alone, and we want to accompany you, we can go to your house to make a side stove, how about it? Zhao Chenxi said.
"Sister Chenxi, I'm sorry, I may have to ruin your interest, I'm not in S City now, I'm going back to my home in Rongcheng." Mencius said.
"Banyan City! Are you homesick? But you're not fit to walk around right now, do you know that? Zhao Chenxi said.
Because Meng's mother was beside her, when Mencius heard it, she immediately subconsciously covered her mobile phone and told Meng's mother that she was thirsty and wanted to drink hot milk.
And when Meng's mother entered the kitchen, Mencius had already finished the call.
Mother Meng handed her the milk, "Who is Dawn?" A colleague in your company? ”
Mencius took a sip, and her throat instantly moistened a lot, and she had been suffering from a dry mouth lately because of her pregnancy.
"Sort of! She is our company's legal counsel, a lawyer who has drunk foreign ink, so the matter of helping Meng's father find a lawyer has been completed, and she has promised to come to Rongcheng tomorrow morning. ”
When Meng Ma heard this, she was naturally very happy, and praised Mencius vigorously, saying that she was really worth going out this time.
Next.
Zhao Chenxi came as promised, and when Meng Ma saw Zhao Chenxi, in addition to praising her appearance and temperament, she was grateful for her help.
Zhao Chenxi seems to have become accustomed to others complimenting her, so she smiled politely, as for helping, she also said that she would do her best, in short, Mencius felt that no matter how she looked at her, she was not shocked.
Zhao Chenxi suggested that Mencius go to the detention center to see Meng's father, and she could also learn about the case by the way.
In the afternoon, when the car arrived at the detention center, Mencius's footsteps became very heavy, and she really didn't want to believe that the honest and upright Meng's father was inside.
Zhao Chenxi saw Mencius's strange appearance, patted her on the shoulder, and comforted her, "Sister Meng, uncle will be fine, let's go in first!" ”
As soon as I entered, I saw Meng Dad sitting on a chair wearing a yellow vest, his hands still handcuffed with iron on his back, and he was dejected through an iron gate.
At this scene, Mencius was both sad and distressed, tears couldn't stop falling, and he wanted to shout Meng's father, but the words were choked in his throat and couldn't speak.
Once a person enters this place, where does dignity come from?
Unexpectedly, with Meng's mother's temperament, she didn't count a few words, and she felt uncomfortable, "Old Meng, you said you, the old Meng family has been innocent for generations, why did it collapse in your generation?" How can you let me have the face to meet my mother's family, the so-called 'those who have attained the Tao have more help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help', I see that you usually like to help people so much, why is it that when it comes to the critical moment, there is not necessarily a figure to help you? ”
In the face of Meng's mother's accusation, Meng's father just shook his head and sighed, and after a while, he finally spoke, "I'm sorry for the old Meng family, and even more sorry for your mother and daughter, people are middle-aged, and they have fallen to this point, so they can only accept their fate, I should have listened to you back then, and honestly handled the doctor's qualification certificate, and said that everything should not be left to chance, today is a verification of this sentence, you don't work for me, just let me accept repentance here, and be a good person after I go out!" ”
Mother Meng said angrily, "What kind of fate, you are sorry for us when you give up on yourself like this," she softened her tone again, "You can stay in it with peace of mind first, the lawyer has been found, and you are your daughter's friend." ”
Zhao Chenxi was standing aside and heard Meng's mother mention her, so she smiled and stepped forward to greet Meng's father, "Hello, Uncle Meng, I am a friend of Mencius and your entrusted lawyer this time, you don't have to worry too much, the case is still being understood, I will do my best!" ”
When Dad Meng heard this, he burst into tears in an instant and couldn't cry.
When Mencius saw it, he instinctively wanted to step forward to comfort Meng's father, but the damn iron gate bar couldn't even reach into her thin hand, so she could only hold the iron gate bar with both hands, crying dryly.
"Okay, okay, don't cry, it'll be safe, this is our clinic's fault, and now it's good to be reported, or it will make a big mistake in the future and cause harm, and the gains will outweigh the losses." Meng Ma wiped away her tears as she spoke.
The next day, Zhao Chenxi came to Mencius's house again and showed a document to Meng's mother, "Auntie, this is a power of attorney, you can sign it, as the entrusted lawyer of this case, I will handle the litigation matters on my behalf, and I must submit the power of attorney to the court, which is legal and reduces disputes." ”
Meng's mother nodded in understanding and quickly signed her name, "By the way, Lawyer Zhao, when will Mencius and his father come out?" ”
"According to the current point of view, my uncle is only committing the crime of illegal practice of medicine, not the crime of illegal practice of medicine, which refers to the illegal practice of medicine by a person who has not obtained a doctor's license to treat others, and the circumstances are serious, while illegal practice of medicine refers to engaging in diagnosis and treatment activities without doctor's qualifications, including engaging in diagnosis and treatment activities in medical institutions and practicing business without authorization," Zhao Chenxi said.
Meng's mother cried with joy, "So, Lao Meng didn't commit a crime!" ”
Zhao Chenxi suddenly looked a little serious, "I can't say that, after all, the country's severe crackdown on illegal medical practice is also a violation of national laws and regulations, but the circumstances are serious or slight, and they will be punished by the law in the end!" ”
"According to the provisions of the "Regulations on the Administration of Medical Institutions", if a person practices without obtaining the "Medical Institution Practice License", the administrative department of health of the people's government at or above the county level shall order him to stop his practice activities, confiscate his illegal gains, drugs and equipment, and may impose a fine of less than 10,000 yuan according to the circumstances."
Mother Meng said with a ashamed face, "Your Uncle Meng was originally an ancestral small village doctor, who has never engaged in major medical activities, and solves the incurable diseases of patients in a peaceful manner. ”
Mencius comforted Meng's mother, "Mom, Meng's father is not right, the ancients said, people are not saints and sages, who can be without fault, and can improve it after that!" ”
Meng Ma nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, no one noticed that an indescribable dark color flashed in Zhao Chenxi's eyes.
When Zhao Chenxi was leaving, Mencius deliberately avoided Meng's mother to send her outside the house, she wanted Zhao Chenxi to help her hide from Lu Xingchen, but Zhao Chenxi agreed to her without asking more.
Three days later, as Zhao Chenxi said, Meng's father was practicing medicine illegally and was subject to administrative punishment by the health department, and at the same time, it was stipulated that it was no longer suitable to engage in medical, preventive and health care business.
Meng's father also came out of the detention center, and on the way back, he had to pass through the clinic, which had already been sealed, and the door had become very deserted.
Mencius was a little reluctant, not to mention Meng's father, he looked at it and burst into tears.
Meng's mother is nothing, because she usually says that Meng's father's clinic can't make a lot of money, and he is still on credit, and he always says that he wants to learn from Hua Tuo to "hang the pot to help the world", which seems to be her wish.
However, Meng Ma is a face-saving person, and she doesn't want to stay in this kind of disgraceful place for a moment, no, she even dragged Meng Dad away.
When I got home, in order to celebrate the safe return of Meng's father, Meng's mother naturally showed her cooking skills, braised lion's head, stewed hooves, braised fish... In short, it was all Mencius's favorite food, and when she was halfway through eating, Meng's mother suddenly asked her, "Nizi, I know that you usually have a good appetite and eat well, but your appetite at home seems to be better than usual these days?" ”
In order to hide his weakness, Mencius said with an aggrieved face, "How can the food outside have the fragrance of my own family, I don't miss my mother's taste anymore!" ”
Meng Ma said distressedly, "If that's the case, then eat more, isn't this your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs?" Why don't you clip it at all? Mom will help you pinch the point. ”
Mencius hurriedly stopped, "Mom, I'll come by myself." ”
Meng's father also persuaded, "Jinhua, you must eat gradually, you can't eat and stuff when you're hungry, it's very stomach-hurting, what does your daughter like to eat?" You'll eat yours well! Dad Meng said and instead sandwiched a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it in Mama Meng's bowl.
Mencius secretly breathed a sigh of relief, you know, she is not interested in acidic food at all now, this is one, and second, she can't let the shrewd Meng's mother notice anything.
