Chapter 125: Sober and good news continues...

Qiu Jiang and the others rushed to the operating room on the fifth floor.

It's very simple. In a nutshell, you need to pay the fee immediately.

Hearing this, Wang Guifen was even more at a loss.

"I've brought all the money from our family. Where can I get so much money now?"

She was at a loss holding the payment slip.

Even if Xie Tianrui disliked Hu Hui, he wasn't so heartless as to watch him die. He simply said to Wang Guifen, "Come on, I'll pay for you."

Fang Xiuyun's hearing was not very good, and it took her a while to understand what was going on. She immediately stopped Xie Tianrui.

"No, no, no, brother, this is all my fault. I still have money, let me pay it."

Xie Tianrui, knowing her situation, became anxious. "Your husband died young and left you nothing. This house was allocated to you by the state. Where did you get the money?"

"I'm fine. I have enough money. Don't argue with me about this."

"Besides, this money can't be taken away when you die, so you have to spend it when you need to."

As he said that, he urged Wang Guifen to take him with her to pay the bill.

Wang Shuiqing stood there at a loss, with his head down, feeling a surge of regret and fear in his heart.

But if he encounters this kind of thing again, he will probably do the same thing.

After the two men left, Fang Xiuyun walked up to him with difficulty on crutches, holding one of his hands with her wrinkled and dry hands, tears streaming down her face.

"Silly child, why are you so stupid? What are you going to do in the future?"

Wang Shuiqing was still worried about his unknown fate, but he calmed down a little after hearing her worried words.

"Grandma Yun, I'm so grateful for your help in the past two years since my parents left. Even though you were struggling financially, you still paid my tuition and often invited me to your house for dinner. In my heart, you're my dear grandma."

"Hu Hui always bullied you and robbed you of your money. I was too cowardly to resist back then, but he kept getting worse. This time, he even pushed you down just to get you to transfer the house to him. I really can't stand it anymore. I'm sorry for making you so worried because of me."

"Grandma Yun, I'm sorry."

"I'm so sorry."

Until this time, Wang Shuiqing's biggest worry was that she would still be running around for him when she was old and gray.

Tears fell from the corners of his eyes, but he gritted his teeth to prevent his voice from becoming more choked.

"Silly child, you still say sorry to me, but it's obviously me who should say sorry."

The two people who were not related by blood were hugging each other like family members and comforting each other.

Qiu Jiang couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat when she saw this.

Hu Xiuwei did not go with them to pay the bill. His slightly dazed eyes never left the grandparents and grandchildren in front of him.

Obviously, he was the old man's distant relative, but at this moment, the two people in front of him who had no relationship with each other were more like a family.

Qiu Jiang noticed his gaze and looked over too.

The two people's eyes met in the air for a moment.

She inexplicably felt that he actually wanted to talk, so she walked over to him.

Hu Xiuwei looked at her quietly.

Qiu Jiang didn't say much, but just leaned against the wall like him, waiting for a possible conversation.

Time passed by little by little, and the only sound in the corridor was the quiet sobbing of the grandparents.

I don't know when it started, but a slightly rough voice sounded.

"I know he's been bullying her for all these years."

Qiu Jiang listened carefully.

I also roughly guessed who the two people he was talking about were.

Seeing that she didn't blame him or say anything else, Hu Xiuwei seemed to relax a little and continued, "Every time he got money from her, he would be very happy when he came home. He would either go out drinking or play cards. Sometimes he would even come home with a smile on his face. It was only at these times that he would stop beating and scolding my mother."

"I told my mother that if she didn't want to be with him, she could divorce him and I would support her."

"But she didn't want to. She just cried and said that no matter what, he is still my father. As long as they are still living together, no matter how bad his temper is, they are still a family. That way, the girls who go on blind dates won't look down on me."

"I know she's sincere. She's afraid of holding me back. But I also know she's cowardly. She's afraid of being like a rootless duckweed with nowhere to go, and she's also afraid of people pointing fingers at her."

"Look, she is such a mother who loves her children but is also timid."

As he spoke, Hu Xiuwei had a smile on his face that seemed to be neither smiling nor crying, and it seemed to be sarcastic and a little bitter.

"But how good can I be?"

"I know all the bad things he's done, and I hate him deeply, but my mother can't leave him, and I can't get rid of him either. We can only live like ghosts like this."

"Actually, I'm not a good person either. Even though I knew he was bullying her, I tolerated it because I thought my mom would get less beatings, which led to him becoming even more aggressive."

"If he is an evil ghost, then I am probably his accomplice."

Qiu Jiang listened quietly, and the more he listened, the deeper the frown on his face became.

Are all of them, except Hu Hui, wrong?

Maybe there are, but isn’t Hu Hui the one who is most wrong?

As a family member, he brought nothing but pain to his loved ones.

As a human being, the things he did were despicable, but he enjoyed them and thought he was great.

Now he is lying in the operating room, and everyone has to stand outside waiting for him to be safe and sound.

Think about how ironic it is.

She lowered her eyes, her mind full of thoughts.

"You said it would be great if he never woke up again."

Hearing this, Qiu Jiang suddenly raised her head and looked at him.

He was still leaning against the wall, as if he hadn't said anything.

She didn't know what to say until her eldest nephew came to her and said with surprise that his elder brother invited her over. Finally, she couldn't stay any longer.

"Sorry, I have to go."

After saying that, Qiu Jiang hurriedly followed Qiu Sichen to the ward.

Hu Xiuwei just looked at her back, leaning his head against the cold wall, and repeated it in a daze.

"It would be great if I could not wake up."

When Qiu Jiang arrived, Qiu Hengan had already been transferred to the general ward.

Shi Yuexiu couldn't hide her surprise.

"The doctor said your brother is in good health and woke up very quickly. We just need to keep an eye on his temperature for the next two days."

Qiu Jiang was also delighted and gave a thumbs up to Qiu Hengan, whose smile looked stiff even after the anesthetic effect had just worn off.

"As expected of my big brother, you're amazing."

"We'll just have to recover well from now on. Once the plaster is removed, we'll basically be free."

Qiu Hengan's speech was not clear yet, and he responded to her with a grumbling sound in his throat.

Compared to his vagueness, the two children, Qiu Simiao and Qiu Sien, were much more emotionally revealing.

"Yeah, yeah."

"When Dad gets better, we can ride a big horse."

They are extremely looking forward to it.

Qiu Jiang tapped Qiu Simiao's little head and said, "Your motives are not pure."

"Hehe, no, no, Miaomiao doesn't have that."

He hugged her thigh and acted like a spoiled child.

Looking at his lively appearance, the ward was filled with laughter and joy. Those were sounds full of hope, which made people feel happy.

There were two other patients in the ward. Seeing the atmosphere in their home, I smiled and watched. I also told them some precautions and introduced some good antipyretic medicines.

"These are cheap, effective, and most importantly, versatile. After all, oral administration is limited, and you can't take it all the time. Physical fever reduction is sometimes too much of a hassle. At this time, inserting it into the buttocks is also a good method, and the effect is quite good."

Qiu Jiang and the others listened carefully, took notes, and showed expressions of sudden enlightenment.

"I really didn't know there were so many ways to treat it if I hadn't been hospitalized. Thank you so much."

Shi Yuexiu was very grateful and took out the dumplings she had just made at home from her bag and shared them with them.

Everyone was feeling a bit embarrassed at first, but the smell was just too strong.

I really couldn't help it.

So the whole ward was filled with the delicious aroma of dumplings.

Seeing everyone praising the taste of the food, Shi Yuexiu felt a sense of accomplishment and always had a smile on his face, which showed that he was becoming more and more hopeful about life.

In the next two or three days, because Qiu Hengan was always in a feverish state, the family was exhausted just by taking care of him and had no time to pay attention to Hu Hui's matter.

The reason I noticed this matter again was because I met the grandfather surnamed Xie again when I went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables one day.

When we met again, the old man was still strolling leisurely and giving instructions at the chess table, which made both sides of the game extremely dissatisfied.

"Old Xie, can you please come back to normal? If you disrupt the order again, you'll have to buy me lunch."

"That's right. I chose the wrong steps several times. It pissed me off."

Since the two of them refused to do it, Xie Tianrui still felt aggrieved.

"You two lousy chess players are still playing chess. It makes me depressed. I won't watch anymore."

He was also angry, so he turned around and left. After taking several steps, he put his ears close to the ground as if listening for any voice trying to persuade him to stay.

But there was nothing.

There was only the sound of chess pieces falling.

There was really no one to keep him.

He was really depressed now, and left with his hands behind his back in disappointment. It was at this time that he saw Qiu Jiang who couldn't help laughing.

As soon as he saw her, he became full of energy again and called out to her in a vigorous voice.

"Little girl, come buy some food."

"Yes." Qiu Jiang replied with a smile.

"Come on, come on, the old man will go shopping with you."

He came over with great strides.

Qiu Jiang gladly accepted, and then the two of them went into the vegetable market together.

After a brief chat, the topic somehow turned to the case from a few days ago.

Qiu Jiang exclaimed in surprise when he heard the subsequent developments.

"Um?"

Xie Tianrui seemed to have guessed her expression long ago, and his face was full of joy.

In fact, Qiu Jiang really didn't expect the final result to be like this, and didn't know what expression to make.

But the old man was very happy.

"Hehe, I originally thought that kid was really going to jail, but who knew Hu Hui's son was so respectable and didn't pursue the responsibility."

"Hu Hui is in such a bad situation. Now half of his body can't move, and his mind is still a little confused. It can be considered retribution."

He felt very happy.

Well, she also felt the same way.

Although that's not right given her role as a police officer.

But I didn’t expect that Hu Xiuwei’s wish would come true in another way.

The future life of mother and son may not be as miserable as before.

Maybe it is a rare good thing for them.

She thought about it silently.

At this time, I couldn't help but think of that little brother again, and wondered what happened to him later.

Xie Tianrui was even happier when he heard her mention this.

"Your Grandma Yun adopted him, so he will be your Grandma Yun's grandson from now on."

Qiu Jiang was delighted after hearing this, "This is a good thing."

"Right, right. Your Grandma Yun wants to hold a banquet tomorrow. She doesn't have any relatives. If you have time, you can bring your family to support her. It's at a small restaurant nearby."

"That's great, we'll definitely go tomorrow."

"Okay, okay, straightforward girl, thank you grandpa for really liking you."

"It's my honor." Qiu Jiang said with a smile.

Xie Tianrui also laughed after hearing this.

His laughter drifted away with the comfortable breeze, as if to bring joy to more people.
