260 However, You’ve Let Him Down!
After saying a few more words about buying new year’s goods to Doctor Luo, Lin Suisui saw that it was getting late outside, so she took the initiative to leave.
As soon as she came out of the door, she heard a shout and a low cry from the pharmacy beside her. From the sound of the shout, it seemed to be a woman, but she couldn’t tell who was crying…
Lin Suisui thought for a moment before turning around with Doctor Luo and going to the pharmacy to take a look.
“These herbs are all precious! If they’re boiled, it’ll be a complete waste! Previously, I told you that these herbs were used to save lives, but you actually went to sleep when you were boiling the herbs. Now that the herbs in the jar have been boiled dry, you actually want to add water to fool us?!
You’re really bold!”
“Don’t be angry. Little Shun’er has just been transferred over to brew medicine, so she doesn’t know how to do it yet. Sister, please be magnanimous and spare her this time!”
“That’s right. This isn’t a particularly expensive herb, so if there’s really no other way, we can pool our money and buy another serving!
If you tell Her Highness about this now, Little Shun’er will be severely punished!”
“Little Shun’er’s family is quite pitiful. Her mother is seriously ill, so she came over to earn money for her mother’s medical fees! Sister, please spare her this time!”
With Yuan Niang’s reprimand, some people tried to mediate the fight.
However, the more Lin Suisui, who was standing at the door, heard this, the angrier she became.
In the end, she couldn’t help but lift the curtain and walk in. “Just because it’s not an expensive herb, it can be wasted like this?!
I know what you’re thinking. It was just a mistake!
She didn’t do it on purpose!
However, have you ever thought about the consequences if she used the burnt medicine to make up the numbers and fed it to the patients over there?!
Since she had just come over to work, it’s understandable she might not know how to brew medicine and is very unfamiliar with handling it. You guys can even come up with the excuse that she overslept. I can understand!
However, since she was wrong, she should have taken the initiative to say it instead of continuing to make excuses for her mistake!
If she discovered that the herbs had been spoiled, she should have directly reported it and changed to another set of herbs to continue boiling. If she had done that, Yuan Niang would have just scolded her at most and wouldn’t have made things difficult for her!
But now, she was risking the patient’s life!
I can also understand that you guys feel sorry for her! But I don’t agree with a single word you guys said!”
As Lin Suisui spoke, she had already turned to look at Dr. Luo, who was looking a little embarrassed. “These faces are very unfamiliar. These aren’t the female servants that Mrs. Song sent over previously, right?!”
“Your Highness, these girls are the daughters of some military families I’m familiar with! Because these soldiers need someone to take care of them now, and I don’t have enough manpower, I recruited them to work for a few days!
Firstly, it can solve the problem of manpower shortage. Secondly, it can allow them to earn some money to subsidize the family!”
Doctor Luo was actually filled with regret at this moment.
He originally thought that this would kill two birds with one stone, but who would have thought that they would cause such huge trouble in just a few days?!
As a doctor, he knew very well why the usually gentle and easy-going Lin Suisui was so angry!
Not to mention the Crown Princess, even he was so angry that he wanted to beat them up!
What did they mean by it wasn’t an expensive herb…
What did they mean by it was just a minor mistake…
This matter was casually brushed over by them. If things went wrong, someone would have lost his life!
Others might not know, but he knew!
Now was the critical moment for those soldiers to start quitting their addiction to hemp leaves. If they drank such a jar of medicine that had no effect at all, the consequences would be…
The consequences might be that all their efforts over the past two days would be in vain!
“They’re not suitable to stay anymore! Give each of them ten days’ worth of salary and let them go back!” Lin Suisui glanced at the girls who were huddled together and said her decision calmly.
She knew very well that if these women received guidance, they would definitely be able to change their attitudes! However, in the current situation, no one had the time or energy to give them guidance, so the safest solution was to pay them and let them go back.
As for the manpower here, after some thought, she decided to go back and ask Mrs. Song for help to handpick a few able ones and send them over!
Dr. Luo didn’t have any objections to her arrangement, but the women opposite him were dissatisfied, especially the tall women. She couldn’t help but take two steps forward and explain to Lin Suisui unhappily, “Madam, we only spoke up for Shun’er, but we didn’t make any mistakes!
What right do you have to chase us away?!”
“If I say that it’s not suitable for you guys to stay here, it’s not suitable! I don’t need so many reasons or excuses!” Lin Suisui turned to look at the girl. Although her tone was calm, there was ruthlessness in her eyes. “I know what you want to say!
Then I can tell you directly now that it’s precisely because you’re children of military households that I’m even angrier!
Doctor Luo saw that your families were in a difficult situation and thought that since he needed manpower now, he might as well hire you guys to help. It would kill two birds with one stone!
However, you guys let him down!”
At this point, Lin Suisui raised her hand slightly to stop the girl from continuing to refute. She smiled and her attitude became gentler as she said, “Don’t be in a hurry to refute me! Let me finish!
When Doctor Luo brought you guys here, he should have told you guys what kind of patients you were about to take care of, right?! Moreover, I believe that with Doctor Luo’s cautiousness, he definitely told you guys in detail what to take note of the day you came here!
He must have told you guys how to brew the medicine and that if there’s a problem with the medicine, how to deal with it. He must have instructed you guys about all about this!
However, you guys still made such a mistake on the second day of your job!”
