"You're saying I'm making baseless accusations and that I'm framing people randomly. You're just trying to say you haven't done anything to wrong me. If you haven't done anything, why are you so guilty?"

Yuan Xiaoya's expression remained unreadable, but she was inwardly furious that Song Jiaojiao was lucky to have survived being burned to death in the brigade's warehouse!

"I feel guilty? Yuan Xiaoya, that's enough! I know perfectly well whether I feel guilty or not. If you have nothing else to say, please leave immediately!"

Song Jiaojiao coldly chased them away.

"You're so agitated, do you think I'd believe you if you said you weren't guilty?"

Yuan Xiaoya glanced at the hospital bed and then continued, "Here's a suggestion: if you don't want to be drowned in spittle when you go back to the village, you'd better say that you and Zhao Zhiqing have been dating for a while and are planning to register your marriage."

"What business is it of yours? Do you live by the sea and think you can meddle in everything? You're just being nosy!"

Can spittle drown a person?

Ha! She's afraid?!

Zhao Yuzhou is nothing but her lapdog; what right does he have to marry her?

Rolling her eyes inwardly, Song Jiaojiao said irritably, "Goodbye and don't come back!"

"You won't appreciate kindness, you'll regret it!"

Yuan Xiaoya casually remarked and turned to leave the ward.

Song Jiaojiao sneered.

Suffering?

That's hilarious. It's just gossip. Do you think she would care?

If she didn't care, there would be no talk of her "drowning," and the idea of ​​her "suffering" would be even less likely to exist in her life!

Thinking of this, Song Jiaojiao turned her gaze to Zhao Yuzhou. Then, with disdain in her eyes, she said in a low voice, "I admit you saved me, but I still maintain that there's absolutely no way I'm going to spend my whole life on you because of that!"

In the late afternoon, Zhao Yuzhou's parents rushed over from Beijing. Upon learning that their son had been hit on the right leg by a falling beam while saving someone, the couple immediately asked for leave from the factory and hurriedly took the nearest train to Hongxing Machinery Factory.

Actually, the call was received by Zhao Yuzhou's father. The caller was a comrade from the educated youth office at the Beijing Steel Plant. The comrade from the educated youth office had received the call from the local educated youth office and, without stopping for a moment, dialed the steel plant shortly after starting work this morning.

When something happened to an educated youth in the village, the brigade leader naturally dared not hide it from his superiors.

In fact, after transferring Zhao Yuzhou to the machinery factory's staff hospital, the brigade leader went to the commune's educated youth office to report the matter. This process was repeated level by level until finally the educated youth office of the Jingshi Steel Plant's street office contacted Zhao Yuzhou's father.

After informing Zhao Yuzhou of his general situation, Zhao Yuzhou's parents rushed to the Hongxing Machinery Factory Staff Hospital.

"Old Zhao, our son should be in this ward."

"The nurse said 1011, and that's correct."

Outside ward 1011, Zhao Yuzhou's parents were talking. After Zhao's father finished speaking, Zhao's mother casually pushed open the ward door.

Seeing her son lying dejectedly in the hospital bed, while the girl sitting on the chair next to him kept muttering to herself, Zhao's mother felt sorry for her son, but her eyes were practically murderous as she looked at Song Jiaojiao.

Yes, the girl who kept nagging at Zhao Yuzhou was Song Jiaojiao. Two hours ago, when Zhao Yuzhou woke up, she would repeat herself every now and then. Well, it would be more accurate to say that she was brainwashing Zhao Yuzhou.

The gist of what she said was: Zhao Yuzhou is a good person, she knew that when she met him. She was truly grateful to Zhao Yuzhou for saving her when the brigade's warehouse caught fire. She also believed that Zhao Yuzhou would not make any demands on her because of this. In addition, she already had someone she liked in her heart. She even emphasized that she was not afraid of Zhao Yuzhou laughing at her, saying that her only wish in this life was to marry the person she liked and spend her life with him.

To put it simply, in front of Zhao Buyao, Song Jiaojiao gave her savior a "good guy card".

When Zhao's parents entered the ward, they heard the gist of what Song Jiaojiao had said. As parents, how could they not feel sorry for their son?

A crisp "snap" sounded!

Zhao's mother stepped forward, grabbed Song Jiaojiao's hair, and slapped her across the face.

"My son broke his leg to save you, and while he's still lying in the hospital, you tell him you have someone you like. Is that any different from stabbing my son in the heart?"

As she spoke, Zhao's mother slapped Song Jiaojiao again, her voice sharp and harsh: "You bitch! My son risked his own safety to rush into the fire to save you. This shows that he values ​​your life more than his own. Have you lost your heart? How could you treat my son like this?!"

"Auntie! Auntie, please let me go! Zhao Yuzhou and I are just ordinary friends. I'm very grateful to him for saving my life, but I do have someone I like..."

Song Jiaojiao struggled, her eyes filled with tears. She tried to break free, but Zhao's mother had a strong grip. She grabbed Song Jiaojiao's hair and slapped her twice more, showing that she hadn't listened to Song Jiaojiao at all.

"Mom... let go of Jiaojiao..."

Zhao Yuzhou's voice was weak as he looked at his mother and said, "It was my own idea to save Jiaojiao. I like her. As for... as for whether she likes me or not... that's her own business. Don't blame her..."

"Xiao Zhou, you..."

Zhao's mother released Song Jiaojiao and walked to the bedside. Her face was instantly covered with tears, and she choked out, "You've ruined yourself like this just to save a bitch. Are you trying to break your father and my hearts?"

To date, Zhao Yuzhou's parents are unaware that their son is highly likely to become crippled.

Because the brigade leader only reported to his superiors that Zhao Yuzhou injured his right leg when a falling beam struck him while rescuing a female educated youth from a fire, without mentioning that the injury was too serious or that he might be left with a disability.

reason?

They were worried that Zhao Yuzhou's parents would be too anxious after learning the truth, and that something might happen to them on their way there.

"Uncle, I know it was thanks to Zhao Yuzhou that I was saved from the fire. I... I am truly grateful to him, and I am very thankful..."

Zhao Yuzhou's father didn't say a word after entering the ward. When Zhao's mother attacked Song Jiaojiao, he stood aside without trying to stop her. After all, anyone who heard what Song Jiaojiao said would feel disgusted, let alone parents. How could they let the other party treat their son like that?

"You stay here with Xiaozhou, I'll go find the doctor to ask about Xiaozhou's current condition."

Mr. Zhao said something to Mrs. Zhao and then left the ward. What he didn't know was that the moment he turned around, Song Jiaojiao's eyes clearly showed a guilty look.

That's right, Song Jiaojiao felt guilty. She was afraid that if Zhao Yuzhou's parents found out that Zhao Yuzhou would be disabled, they would turn around and attack her, making it difficult for Zhao Yuzhou to find a partner in the future.

But at this moment, she could do nothing, nor could she dispel the thoughts that Zhao's parents might have.

About half an hour later, Zhao's father returned to Zhao Yuzhou's ward. His expression seemed normal, but the pain in his eyes was hard to hide.

"Dad, my leg...can my leg be healed?"
