Chapter 31 Zhou Mu's Fractured Bones

"ah!"

Zhou Mu clutched his arm, curled up on the ground, his face deathly pale, tears and sweat streaming down his face, almost unable to speak from the pain, "Ugh, waah~"

The old bachelor was already a coward, and when he saw that someone had really been hurt, he led his brothers and fled in panic. Zhou's mother and Zhou Yue ignored Zhou Mu on the ground. Zhou Chenglong looked at Zhou Yue, who was lying in a small ball on the ground, and reminded her, "Third sister, Mu Mu is injured."

“I saw it. She’s been hurt before, she’s tough.” Zhou Yue walked over and kicked Zhou Mu, then took out twenty yuan and threw it at her. “Get up and go to the clinic up ahead, buy some safflower oil to rub on it.”

With tears welling in her eyes, Zhou Mu looked down at Zhou Yue, who was towering above her, and uttered a few words through the pain, "Mommy, it hurts~"

"Didn't I give you money? If it hurts, go buy medicine. I don't know how to treat illnesses." Zhou Yue turned around and went back to her room to change clothes and tidy up. "Clean the house when you get back. I'm going to work."

Zhou Mu's expectations vanished completely. Her mother had never loved her, so what was she expecting?

In the end, Zhou Chenglong couldn't bear to see it anymore, so he picked up Zhou Yue and took her to the clinic.

"It's this little girl again. How can you be parents?" It was the same female doctor as before. The more she examined Zhou Mu, the uglier her expression became. "She has a fracture. I can't handle it here. Take her to the hospital immediately."

“Okay.” Zhou Chenglong was a cowardly and selfish fake good guy, but he still had a few shreds of conscience. He picked up Zhou Mu and was about to run back. He had to get back before his third sister left home, otherwise he wouldn’t have the money to take her to the hospital.

"This girl's injuries are getting worse each time. Where is her mother? Is she abusing her again?" The female doctor warned Zhou Chenglong. "Take the child to the hospital for a checkup. This time, I really will call the police!"

She had noticed last time that the injury wasn't what the little girl described, but she had already warned Zhou Yue that child abuse would land her in jail, and she thought it would have some effect.

Zhou Chenglong quickly explained, "You misunderstood. It wasn't my third sister who hit him. It was Old Wu from Yuhua Alley who caused trouble with his men. Mumu was accidentally injured by them."

The female doctor urged, "Don't delay, go to the hospital right away."

"Ah, right, I have to hurry back." Zhou Chenglong hadn't run far when he saw Zhou Yue standing at the intersection. He quickly chased after her, shouting, "Third Sister, Third Sister, wait!"

Zhou Yue glanced at Zhou Mu, "Take her back, I have to go to work."

"No, Third Sister, Mumu has broken her arm and needs to go to the hospital."

"You're really asking for trouble. She broke her leg in no time." Zhou Yue looked at Zhou Mu, who was crying in Zhou Chenglong's arms, with dissatisfaction. "Alright, give her to me. I'll take her to the hospital."

As the only son of Zhou's parents, Zhou Chenglong had always enjoyed their favoritism. Hearing Zhou Yue's words, he looked at her as if she were a monster. Was this not her daughter, but an enemy? He couldn't even imagine how painful it would have been to be hit by that stick, just once?

Zhou Chenglong is genuinely afraid of his third sister for being so ruthless towards her own daughter.

After listening to Feng Yu recount what had happened, Yan Songyu ignored the strange feeling in her heart and sneered, "That's really ruthless!"

She was increasingly looking forward to the truth being revealed, but the bitter fruit hadn't been brewed big enough or bitter enough. Zhou Yue, Zhou Yue, you must keep being ruthless!

Yan Songyu felt relieved, but her relief wasn't complete, because it was her Feifei who suffered these hardships in the previous life. Zhou Yue, you deserve to go to hell!

She couldn't wait to go home and see her daughter; she wanted to hug Feifei!

"Mom, what's wrong?" Feifei looked at Yan Songyu, who was holding her tightly. She sensed her mother's low spirits and gently patted her back, just like Yan Songyu had done to comfort her. "Mom, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Feifei is here. Feifei will protect you."

Thinking of Feifei's unrecognizable state after being submerged in water in her previous life, Yan Songyu felt a tear fall onto Feifei's clothes. She tried to suppress her sobs, "Mommy is fine. Mommy just missed Feifei. Seeing you now makes me feel better."

"Then I'll spend this summer vacation with my mom and go to work with her."

"good."

When Yan Binghua came out of the study, he saw the mother and daughter snuggling together. "My darlings didn't even see me. It really makes me sad."

"Dad, are you very familiar with Master Xu?" Yan Songyu asked.

Yan Binghua shook his head. "We're not that close, but I've done him a favor. Don't be nervous, he won't target the Yan family, at least not now."

"How come I've never heard you mention that?"

"When Xu Xin was in school, he was in danger again and almost killed by a scheme. I saved him by chance. Because I didn't want to get involved in the Xu family's affairs, I didn't reveal my identity. Later, he became the head of the Xu family, but the Xu family's background was not clean, and it was not a good thing to have too close contact with them. So I have always been nodding acquaintances with him and didn't tell you."

Yan Binghua looked at Yan Songyu with heartache, "Although the Xu family has an unclean background, they are the most loyal. I believe you can handle being targeted by Xu Huanzhi, but we should use the resources that are available. So I had someone pass on a message to Master Xu."

"Thank you, Dad!" Yan Songyu hugged her daughter and leaned on Yan Binghua's shoulder. "A child with a father is a treasure."

Feifei leaned on Yan Binghua's arm, mimicking her mother's gesture. "A child with a mother and grandfather is a treasure."

Because of Zhou Mu's broken bones, Zhou's mother felt guilty and took Zhou Chenglong back to her hometown overnight. One reason was that she was now a little afraid of Zhou Yue, who could go crazy at any time and was so cold-blooded that she didn't even care about her own daughter. The other reason was that she didn't want to return the money.

But just before getting on the bus, Zhou Chenglong stopped. "Mom, I don't want to go back. I want to stay in Haishi."

Having witnessed the bustling city and dazzling lights of the city, how could he possibly be willing to return to his humble abode as a farmer?

"What? You're not leaving?" Zhou's mother's already unpleasant voice suddenly became shrill, almost splitting into two shrill tones. "Then, then where are you? Where do you live? How are you going to live?"

“My third sister has been able to stay in Haishi for so many years with this child, how can I, a grown man, not survive? Besides, even if my third sister is still alive, Mom, you would support me, right? I don’t want my child to be trapped in that tiny place like Xiaoxigou like I am.”

Zhou's mother was moved by Zhou Chenglong's last words: "We are incompetent, and our son has suffered. Now that he wants to work hard, what right do I have to stop him?"

Zhou's mother gave Zhou Chenglong all the 40,000 yuan she had prepared to save at home. "Mom believes in you. You must take good care of yourself. If you need money, just write to us. We have enough to eat and drink from farming, and we can even save some money. I'll send it all to you."

She added worriedly, "And your third sister, although you were scammed back then, you also helped her. Judging from her current attitude, she treats you better than she treats me and your father. That girl is always responsive to gentle persuasion but not to force. As long as I leave, be careful and she won't do anything to you. Just make sure she doesn't find out about this money."
