Chapter 444: 444: Cousin, Do You Look Down on Your Brother-In-Law?
At this moment, Qiao Yin was crouching on the ground, wiping off the large patches of dried blood left behind by the pregnant woman.
Yesterday, she and her grandmother and cousin were taken to the police station before they had time to clean up, hastily locking up the clinic.
After arriving today, she was cleaning, fielding three phone calls in the process.
All of them about resignations.
Of the four employees that were hardly recruited earlier, three had decided to quit after yesterday’s incident.
Now, only a young girl responsible for registration and reception remained.
The young girl was currently holding a rag and disinfectant, helping Qiao Yin clean up the bloodstains.
Qiao Yin couldn’t help but ask her, “Qiu, everyone else has fled in fear, why did you still come to work?”
“Doctor Qiao, I’m not scared of blood. At family festivals at home, I’m the one who slaughters chickens and pigs. Yesterday’s incident was nothing,” she replied.
“I left school early and have no education. I couldn’t find a good job before, and you took me in. With all the care you’ve shown me, why would I want to leave?”
Qiu was serious, “Also, although yesterday’s incident was a bit scary, from my perspective, it wasn’t your fault, and it wasn’t the clinic’s responsibility, they were deliberately causing trouble.”
Qiao Yin smiled lightly, “It seems I’ve recruited a girl who is courageous and conscientious.”
“But, Doctor Qiao, with the fuss they made yesterday, are we going to lose more patients at our clinic?”
“The next few days will certainly be affected, but, it’s not a big deal since our clinic relies on its strength, and cannot be easily destroyed by some rumors.”
“That’s good. I finally found a decent job, and I don’t want our clinic to be in trouble.”
“Don’t worry, the clinic will get better and better. But for the next few days, you might have to take on more tasks until I hire more people. Your salary will be doubled for this month, does that sound okay?”
Upon hearing her salary would be doubled, Qiu was immediately happy, “I have no problem with that, Doctor Qiao, I will work hard!”
Qiao Yin smiled and nodded. She was about to say a few more encouraging words when she saw the clinic’s glass door being pushed open, and her cousin’s husband, Fang Yongquan, walked in.
Qiao Yin stood up, “Brother-in-law, why are you here? Is my cousin coming today…”
“She won’t be coming today, and she won’t be coming in the future either!”
Fang Yongquan’s face didn’t look very good, but he tried to put on a smile, “Cousin, you’re not married, you don’t know what a married woman has to do, our home can’t do without your cousin for a moment. Where does she have the free time to help out here!”
Qiao Yin felt uncomfortable hearing this, but she didn’t want to give her cousin any trouble, so she tried to persuade, “Brother-in-law, my cousin is paid for the help she provides. During the day when you’re at work, she brings the kids and helps out, learning things and enriching herself. Isn’t that great? She can also earn money to help at home, reducing your burden, so you shouldn’t be…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Fang Yongquan interrupted her displeased, “What are you saying, cousin? Does our home need to relieve what burden? The money I earn is enough to support the family. Why does your cousin need to work to supplement the family’s income? Are you looking down on me, Fang Yongquan, thinking I earn too little?”
“It’s not like that, brother-in-law, I didn’t mean that. I was saying—”
“Or are you saying that your cousin complained to you about something? Was it her who asked to work here? Even with all the money I give her every month, she’s still not satisfied, does she think it’s not enough to spend?”
Knowing his tone was not good and fearing that he would argue with her cousin when he returned home, Qiao Yin hurriedly said, “No, my cousin never complained about anything. She says you treat her very well. My cousin didn’t really want to come either. She wants to take care of you and the children, and the house. I invited her to come help out.”
