Li Nianjun chased after her, pulling Lin Huaihua aside and saying, "Huaihua, it's my fault. I shouldn't have dragged you and the children here to be sad again!"

Lin Huaihua smiled and said, "Brother Li, this has nothing to do with you. It's my own fault for being blind."

Li Nianjun moved his lips and said, "What I just said is true, I'm willing to be a father to the children! Taking care of you, as you know, I've been hurt, I can't be a real man, I..."

Lin Huaihua interrupted him. How could she not know? Li Nianjun had only been married a short time when he went on a mission and was injured in that area. His new wife couldn't bear the thought of living like a widow and divorced him. This incident caused quite a stir at the time. "Brother Li, I have no objection to you changing the child's surname to yours. It's only right that I treat you as my own father and be filial to you. But honestly, I'm not good enough for you. If you need a nanny, I won't even bat an eye!"

The eldest son came over and said, "Mom, we're willing to acknowledge Uncle Li as our father and give him back our surname, you..."

Li Nianjun nodded excitedly, "Huaihua, I don't know how to be so wishy-washy. It's all up to you. If you're willing, I'll write a report! If you don't like me..." His expression darkened, and he lowered his head. Lin Huaihua quickly explained, "Brother Li, that's not what I meant. I'm divorced, and I'm still a middle-aged woman..."

Li Nianjun looked at Lin Huaihua and said, "I'm an old man too. When you get old, all you want is someone who cares about you. Let's keep each other company. If you don't mind, let's get married!"

The eldest son came over and said, "Uncle Li, we've come to talk to my mother. Don't worry!"

Li Nianjun nodded and watched the five people leave, thinking to himself, "Old Xiao! Do you know what you're giving up by letting go?"

When Xiao Hu rushed over, the doctor was so shocked to see Qi Zhifang on the verge of death that he stammered, "What happened?"

Qi Zhijun gritted her teeth and said, "It was Wang Fang's man who did it. The neighbors helped arrest him!" Xiao Hu was heartbroken. If he hadn't broken up with Qi Zhifang today, if he had talked to her nicely and stayed with her, maybe everything would have been alright! After suppressing his emotions for a while, he said, "Where's Wang Fang? I haven't seen her."

Qi Zhijun's head was throbbing like a drum band was playing inside, but he still replied, "I don't know where to go?"

Seeing Qi Zhijun's expression, Xiao Hu understood that he didn't want to deal with Qi Zhifang, so he didn't make things difficult for him. "Alright, I'll take care of things here. You can go back now!"

Qi Zhijun breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting rid of this hot potato. He quickly agreed and left without looking back.

Xiao Hu brought hot water and wiped down every part of Qi Zhifang's body that could be wiped. As he wiped, he said, "Fangzi, don't you think we should be together? Your family doesn't want you anymore, and my family doesn't want me anymore. We're both pitiful people! Let's just live our lives like this!"

He never considered how desolate it would be for Qi Zhifang to have no children by her side; her present was his future.

Then she went out to get some water, and when she came back, she saw Wang Fang kneeling beside Qi Zhifang's bed, shaking Qi Zhifang and crying so sadly and desperately, "Mom, Mom, wake up! Don't scare me..."

Hearing this, Xiao Hu still thought his daughter was quite good. Although Qi Zhifang was injured like this because of him, at least she genuinely cared about her mother. But that hair-swaying scene was something Qi Zhifang definitely couldn't stand. Just as he was about to speak, he heard, "Get up and tell the police that you and Yunxiang were just joking around. It was because you provoked him and cursed at him that he hit you! Mom! Wake up! Go tell the police about this, otherwise Yunxiang won't be able to get out tonight. He's not in good health, and he hasn't had a proper rest for days because of me. How can he bear being detained again!..."

Xiao Hu strode forward. Qi Zhifang's hand, where the IV drip was being administered, was already covered in blood; the needle had been shaken off by Wang Fang, who was already quite healthy.

Xiao Hu grabbed Wang Fang and threw her aside, yelling, "Nurse! Nurse!..." The nurse came and saw what was wrong. "How could you be so careless!" she said, hitting her other arm. After she left, Xiao Hu glared at her with murderous intent. "Your mother was beaten like this by that beast while trying to save you, and you don't even show a word of concern? You want your mother to forgive the murderer? Get out of here!"

Wang Fang also got angry: "You have no right to talk to me like that! My mother and I have a mother-daughter relationship, who are you to talk to me?"

Xiao Hu roared, "I'm just a stranger, what right do I have to interfere in this?! Get out of here!"

"I'm not leaving! I won't leave until my mom signs the papers! Yunxiang can't spend the night in the detention center tonight!" Wang Fang shouted hysterically.

Xiao Hu dragged her out and locked the door. Only then did they realize something was wrong: Qi Zhifang hadn't woken up. They went to check, but there was no movement at all.

The next day, Zhao Yunxiang's parents arrived early in the morning. They were startled when they saw Xiao Hu in his uniform. Secretary Zhao asked, "Who are you?"

Xiao Hu took a deep breath. "Are you Zhao Yunxiang's parents?"

The couple nodded, and Xiao Hu said, "Is this how you raise your son? He's a murderer!"

Zhang Aihua, clearly having spent the night without sleep, said with red and swollen eyes and a hoarse voice, "It's all because Qi Zhifang doesn't know how to raise her daughter. Our family said long ago that we didn't want that daughter of hers. Her daughter can't handle Yunxiang, but she insists on coming over shamelessly, harming my son time and time again. Look what you've done to my perfectly good son!"

Xiao Hu was shocked by these remarks. Just then, a weak voice said, "I want to sue Zhao Yunxiang, I want to sue him..."

Xiao Hu was overjoyed, "Fangzi, you're awake..."

Qi Zhifang was so excited she was incoherent, "Sue him...sue him..."

Zhang Aihua angrily retorted, "Speak! What do you want to repay now?"

Xiao Hu comforted Qi Zhifang, "It's alright, Fangzi, listen to me, calm down, I'll handle this!" Then he turned back and glared at them fiercely, "This time, that little beast's life is in the taking..."
