Chapter 22 Humiliation
Ye Shengge was indeed fasting and her body was very weak, so her complexion was pale.
"Grandma said she would starve me if I didn't listen, but I was so hungry that I just wanted to eat a little thicker rice soup. Grandma wouldn't let me eat. Yesterday, Grandma even locked the kitchen door. I was so hungry that I had to go to a classmate's house to beg for a bowl of rice. This morning, I was starving again and fainted."
After finishing speaking, she burst into tears. Perhaps there were still the original owner's emotions within her body, and she couldn't control them as they poured out.
The doctor and the nurse listened with indignation. Ye Shengge continued to pour oil on the fire.
"Doctor uncle, how long can I live? I will definitely be obedient from now on. I want to finish high school, at least to prove that I have lived in this world."
The doctor gently patted Ye Shengge's shoulder.
"Girl, your illness will be fine as long as you take good care of it. Don't think too much. I'll talk to your grandmother about the rest."
The doctor quickly opened the door and went out. Ye Shengge also pretended to be tired and closed her eyes, listening to the sound coming from the headset.
"Doctor, how is Shengge? She was just discharged from the hospital and fell ill again?"
Grandma Sun anxiously grabbed the doctor first and asked. The neighbors who hadn't left were also curious. Even Old Mrs. Ye felt uneasy, afraid that if the girl inside really died, she wouldn't get any money.
The doctor looked at Old Mrs. Ye with a bad expression.
"Shengge's grandmother, I always thought you were a good person, but I didn't expect Shengge's illness to be all because of you. You are willing to send her to the hospital, so why are you unwilling to give her a bite of food?"
As soon as the doctor finished speaking, everyone around looked at Old Mrs. Ye. Old Mrs. Ye immediately blushed and said.
"Doctor, you are wronging me. How could I be unwilling to let my granddaughter eat? It's that girl herself who doesn't eat, she's a picky eater."
"Enough, Chen Fengmei. I didn't believe it before, but now I finally understand. When Shengge was discharged from the hospital the day before yesterday, I went to see her and found out that all the good things in your house were eaten by you. Shengge has never eaten an egg in her life, and you shamelessly said that Shengge's body cannot eat meat or eggs."
Grandma Sun could no longer tolerate her friend's hypocrisy and was also annoyed by her poor judgment of people over the past few decades.
"Who said that girls can't eat meat and eggs? Her body needs to be nourished even more. No wonder she has to be hospitalized several times a year. I always thought it was due to poor family conditions, with no resources to nourish her body that she was so weak, but unexpectedly it was intentional."
The doctor's scolding and contemptuous gaze made Old Mrs. Ye feel ashamed, but she didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt. She was also annoyed by these people's aggression; she could raise her as she pleased, what business was it of theirs.
"No, I was just worried about Shengge's body, so I didn't dare to let her eat meat. I'm an old woman who doesn't understand and is self-righteous. I will take good care of her from now on and I promise to raise her to be plump and fair."
"Let me tell you the truth, if Shengge girl were to be nourished properly, she wouldn't need to come to the hospital so many times. She wouldn't faint from being starved for a few meals. Her current weakness is all caused by you. If this happens a few more times, there will be no need for treatment, and she will die."
The doctor's words made the neighbors look at Old Mrs. Ye with an indescribable expression. This made Old Mrs. Ye feel utterly humiliated. However, she still wanted to salvage the situation.
"Yes, yes, yes. It's also because I'm an old woman who doesn't understand anything. I will definitely listen to the doctor from now on."
