AMRWFA -Chapter 250 The Brainless Bi Shaojie

Ruan Yaoyao felt like she couldn’t keep reading the detail page anymore—the more she read, the angrier she became.

Thankfully, Bi Shaojie’s page was almost over. She soon reached the point where Bi Shaojie went into labor… and was then “killed” by Rong Zhenlong.

She hadn’t even seen anything important, so what exactly was the point of insisting on reading Bi Shaojie’s “detail page” in the first place?

Wasn’t she just making herself suffer?

That night, Ruan Yaoyao didn’t rest well at all.

Her head ached.

She didn’t know whether it was because she’d gone to bed too late, or because of everything that had happened the night before, but she spent the entire night dreaming. She couldn’t clearly remember what the dreams were about—only that she seemed to be walking through a dark, shadowy alley. She could vaguely see shapes, but nothing clearly, just wandering aimlessly.

It felt eerie. Even a little terrifying.

“Auntie Xu, you’re awake so early?”

After finishing breakfast, Ruan Zhihe saw Ruan Yaoyao already out of bed and was startled.

She herself was a soldier and used to waking up early, but Auntie Xu loved sleeping in. With everything that had happened last night, she had assumed Auntie Xu would sleep until noon.

Ruan Yaoyao rubbed her temples and softly responded, “Mm.”

“Are you not feeling well?” Ruan Zhihe reached out and gently massaged her temples. “Do you want to see a doctor?”

Feeling someone take over, Ruan Yaoyao let go of her hand and said, “No need. I just didn’t sleep well last night. I’ll be fine after a nap later. How is Xiao Lingxuan?”

“I just checked. She’s still asleep and hasn’t woken up yet. But the doctor took her temperature—her fever’s gone down. She just needs to take a few more doses of medicine after going home.”

“That’s good. A sudden fever in the middle of the night is really frightening.”

Ruan Yaoyao muttered inwardly, 【But it’s a good thing we came in the middle of the night. Otherwise, if a murder had happened in our hospital, it would’ve been a big deal.】

Ruan Zhihe: Indeed.

“Oh right, Auntie Xu, after that man was arrested yesterday, they interrogated him overnight and got a confession. The reason he attacked his wife… was because of money.”

Ruan Yaoyao, who had already guessed it, said speechlessly, “Just a few thousand yuan—was that really necessary? Our hospital didn’t cheat him.”

Ruan Zhihe nodded. “He thought the hospital scammed him. The police explained that even in a public hospital, the cost would be about the same, but he didn’t believe it. He insisted the hospital overcharged him. He even said that when his mother gave birth to him, she did it in the fields and didn’t spend a single cent.”

Ruan Yaoyao: “Didn’t the hospital explain the situation?”

“They did. His wife was in critical condition, and the nearby public hospital wasn’t confident they could handle it, so they coordinated and transferred her here.”

【Got it. Our hospital tried to do a good deed… and ended up being misunderstood.】

【Helping people costs money, okay? Even if the patient uses public hospital medication, our costs don’t change. That all comes out of the hospital’s charity fund—set up specifically for situations like this.】

Ruan Yaoyao felt that in the future, even doing good deeds would require caution—not just accepting everyone blindly.

【Even if it’s about saving lives…】

【A patient’s life matters, but doesn’t the hospital’s survival matter too? If something happens to any of the staff or patients, it’s a massive loss.】

【Next hospital meeting, I need to bring this up properly.】

Ruan Zhihe: …

Sigh.

Sometimes, a good system gets ruined by just one bad apple.

What could she even say?

She couldn’t say anything.

After all, Auntie Xu’s concerns were completely reasonable. If she hadn’t come yesterday, it wouldn’t have been just one death—it would have been seven.

Seven people. Seven families.

After washing up, breakfast was delivered.

Ruan Yaoyao ate a little, then prepared to visit her precious granddaughter next door. But after just a few steps, she saw glowing text again.

Ruan Yaoyao: “…”

Having just gone through last night’s events, she really didn’t want to see it again.

Gossip was enjoyable—but if it started affecting her own hospital, it stopped being enjoyable.

“Auntie Xu?”

“I just saw someone… something feels off. Let’s go take a look.”

Even though she had just decided she didn’t want to read it, for safety’s sake, Ruan Yaoyao still quickly followed.

And once she caught up, she saw clearly where the glowing label came from.

A forty-year-old, highly educated woman who had just given birth.

The label above her head read:

Advanced maternal age, background character from Super Male.

【Another background character?】

【What exactly is this Super Male? Why are there so many background characters?】

【I’ve seen plenty of gossip before, but never this many background characters…】

Ruan Zhihe also found it strange and grew wary.

If someone was labeled as a background character, there had to be something memorable about them. Otherwise, why would they have a tag at all?

In previous cases, only significant cannon fodder had background labels.

At that moment, Ruan Yaoyao didn’t realize that her ability seemed to have grown stronger.

Previously, it only worked on protagonists and major side characters. Now, even memorable background characters were being “tagged.”

【She—Su Lei, 40+, advanced maternal age.】

【Originally, she didn’t want to get married. But after she turned 30, her parents kept pressuring her, saying that if she didn’t marry, they’d die in front of her.】

【From being accused of being unfilial to being threatened with their lives, Su Lei eventually couldn’t hold out and agreed to trust her parents—marrying a blind date they introduced, someone they claimed was reliable, with a house and a car.】

【Zhong Daqiang’s family was indeed well-off. They lived in a big villa. But he had one major flaw—his temper.】

【Not long after getting married, Su Lei had already argued with him multiple times—from home renovation to who should cook, do laundry, and clean. Even after hiring a housekeeper, the issue still wasn’t resolved.】

【Because Zhong Daqiang thought she wasn’t “womanly” enough—she didn’t even know how to do housework.】

【Su Lei was furious. Did he marry a wife just to do housework? Since when was housework naturally a woman’s responsibility?】

【What made it worse was that her parents sided with Zhong Daqiang, saying that women should do those things anyway. It was fine when she was at home, but now that she was married, she should respect her husband’s expectations…】

Ruan Yaoyao was a little surprised. She went back through Su Lei’s memories of the Zhong family and confirmed that their financial situation was indeed good. Even before she married in, they already had a housekeeper.

The villa itself had been bought by Zhong Daqiang’s parents, who didn’t live with them.

There had always been housekeepers and hourly cleaners before…

So why were they gone later?

Because Su Lei got married into the family.

Ruan Yaoyao: “…”

【So once she married in, they didn’t need a housekeeper or cleaners anymore?】

【Wait… did he marry a wife, or hire a housekeeper?】

Ruan Zhihe: “…”

What a terrifying man.

Whoever marries into that family would be incredibly unlucky.

No matter how good the financial conditions are, it’s still a trap.

All of a sudden, she didn’t feel like getting married anymore. Being single seemed pretty good.

Maybe she just shouldn’t get married?

Somewhere, a certain future boyfriend—who hadn’t even appeared yet—sneezed:

“Achoo…”

Who’s cursing me?
