"What would happen?" Shen Zhen shrugged nonchalantly. "In the end, they asked the doctors and the nurses to pay back the money. Thus, we were the ones who bore the brunt of the situation. We had to take out the money from our salaries to pay the compensation to the patients' families."
"You are joking!" Bai Meiyue's eyes widened as she could not believe that the angels in white were treated so casually.
Shen Zhen calmly answered, "That is how it always went." It didn't seem like she blamed the patients and their families for what they had done, but Bai Meiyue didn't agree with her approach.
She could never do such a thing. How could she deduct the salaries of the poor doctors who were working hard to save the lives of the patients? If she deducted their salaries, then Bai Meiyue was worried that she wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
"Why don't you make them work in the hospital like they do in restaurants?" Bai Jixuan commented from the front of the RV. "Just make them clean, wash and wipe. Make them work until they finish paying for their fee. Let's see how others will not pay after seeing what happened to their predecessors."
What Bai Jixuan hated the most was when others refused to pay. They obviously owed the hospital the money, so how could they not pay?
Bai Meiyue's eyes lit up; she smacked her hand on her head and agreed with what her brother said. That's right, they could refuse to pay, but what if they were made to work? She didn't believe that they would refuse that as well?
Once these hooligans were forced to wash stained bedsheets, she would love to see if they still refuse to pay.
"What if they still refuse to pay?" Shen Zhen asked. She didn't think that it was that simple, as she had seen many people who acted like hooligans, and the height of their shamelessness was not something that they could deal with.
"Then just make their stay worthwhile," Bai Jixuan sneered. "If they refuse, call some thugs to break their hands or legs. Once they break their limbs, fix them all back. Anyway, the world is no longer the same. You can do whatever you want, can't you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two women burst out laughing. Bai Meiyue, however, couldn't agree more with what Bai Jixuan said. She nodded and agreed with him, "You are right, second brother. If someone refuses to pay, then we can always make them pay in some other way."
"Tsk, you two are really cruel," remarked Shen Zhen. She handed Bai Meiyue the medicines and asked in a casual voice, "Don't tell me that you are really planning to open a hospital?"
"Of course, I am," Bai Meiyue smiled cheekily. "Since the situation is like this, why don't we take advantage of it? We will set the price according to the treatment given to the people. Just like before, we will charge them according to the resources used. Of course, we can always increase the price, but I don't think you will agree to that—"
