Too many dogmas were firmly bound to Su Dazhi, and the word "boss" weighed on him like a mountain, making it impossible for him to breathe.

Even... back then, they wanted him to marry a widow who was more than ten years older than him.

Simply because that widow had a house.

They even planned out how to allocate the widow's three large brick houses back then.

He completely disregarded the fact that the widow was more than ten years older than him.

Therefore, when Su Dazhi met Guan Yumei and wanted to marry her, he became a rebel.

The whole family took turns criticizing him.

Even the clan chief came to haunt him.

This is also the fundamental reason why he decisively took the risk when he received the "opportunity" from the injured old man Li Gengsheng.

He and Guan Yumei also had moments of mutual dependence in a turbulent world.

But Guan Yumei, she really went too far this time!

"Comrade! Hey! What are you thinking about?"

The nurse touched his shoulder, which pulled him out of his reverie.

The nurse handed him the papers, saying, "These are all the receipts for the medical expenses paid in advance by the police station. These are the receipts for the expenses that haven't been paid yet. You can take them all!"

Seeing that Su Dazhi didn't take it, she shoved the form into his arms and then fled as if she were escaping.

"Boss?"

Suddenly, an old woman's voice rang out behind Su Dazhi.

Su Dazhi was jolted awake, as if he had heard a ghost's cry, and instinctively turned to run.

"You little brat, you dare to run away?!"

Sun Qiaomei suddenly rushed up and grabbed him, saying, "I knew it looked like you, and it really is you!"

“…Mom!” Su Dazhi called out reluctantly.

"Why are you so late?" Sun Qiaomei said, grabbing his ear and saying, "Dazhi, let me tell you, you have to divorce that scoundrel Guan Yumei right now!"

“Yes, let’s leave.” Su Dazhi said calmly without struggling.

He knew that the more he struggled, the harder his mother would pull.

When he was little, his mother once pulled his ear so hard that he had to get three stitches, otherwise his earlobe would have fallen off.

That scar is still very visible now.

"That's more like it! You can't lie to me! By the way, which ward is Da Jian in? I think his injuries are quite serious. The nurses all say they don't know. After I woke up, I went from ward to ward and couldn't find him." Sun Qiaomei frowned.

"Why are you still asleep?" Su Dazhi asked curiously.

"Hey! Silly boy! If you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way!" Sun Qiaomei rolled her eyes. "As soon as I arrived, the doctor put an IV drip on me. The village chief's wife told me that the IV drip is good stuff, full of nutrients! I wasn't worried they wouldn't give me the drip, so I kept pretending to be asleep, and then... I really fell asleep!"

"Oh." Su Dazhi forced a smile. "Come on, I'll take you to see Dajian."

Three minutes later, in the morgue.

"My life! My heart! My precious youngest child! I can't live anymore!" Sun Qiaomei threw herself onto Su Dajian's corpse, her voice filled with heart-wrenching anguish.

Su Dazhi stood quietly behind her, watching her cry.

After wailing for a while, Sun Qiaomei turned around, wiping her snot and tears with her sleeve, and looked at him with eyes blazing with anger: "Where is that bitch Guan Yumei? Where is she?"

Is this to avenge Su Dajian?

“They were arrested by the police,” Su Dazhi replied. “Not only her, but also Dad, Dali, Daxiao, Dade, Zhizhong and Zhihua were all arrested—you must have seen the police take them away.”

"Still not released?" Sun Qiaomei asked suspiciously. "Even your father hasn't been released? Wasn't it said that no one would arrest him for his age or what he did?"

"Mom, Dad might... not be released." Su Dazhi relayed to her the bits and pieces of information he had overheard from the police at the police station: "I heard that anyone who dies gets a prison sentence, starting at three years! The maximum is twenty years!"

"What?!"

Sun Qiaomei plopped down on the ground.

Then, her eyes rolled back—this time she really fainted.

At the same time, Su Zhenzhu and Wang Bo, who had just left the hospital, were almost at the entrance of the alley to Wang Bo's small courtyard when Su Zhenzhu suddenly stopped and remained motionless.

Wang Bo asked curiously, "Pearl, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Su Zhenzhu made a strange smile, but the hole in her front tooth was still visible like a black hole.

These past few days, Su Zhenzhu has been practicing smiling without showing her front tooth hole. Seeing this, Wang Bo said again, "Zhenzhu, don't worry, once I get my salary this month, I'll take you to get your teeth fixed!"

Su Zhenzhu didn't respond. She frowned and asked, "Su Dazhi just said that my mother was arrested? Or was the whole family arrested?"

Wang Bo still didn't understand what she meant: "Pearl, Dad seems to have said that they've all been arrested!"

"Then the Su family should be gone, right?" Su Zhenzhu pulled Wang Bo with her left hand. "Let's go back and take a look!"

"Huh? Why is nobody going to see it?" Wang Bo asked, puzzled.

"Stop talking nonsense and come with me!"

Wang Bo was pulled along by Su Zhenzhu's immense strength, and the two went straight to Su's courtyard.

The courtyard gate was wide open, and Su Manao was sitting at the entrance, crying.

She had been out all day and when she came back, she found the yard in a mess. A neighbor was carrying things out of her house and quickly walked away, sticking close to the wall when he saw her.

Some nosy neighbors told her what had happened.

Su Manao panicked immediately, pushed through the crowd and rushed back to the courtyard, heading straight for the storage room.

The stools were all missing legs, and she finally managed to poke down the money she had hidden on the roof beam.
