Chapter 62

The Ye family was waiting anxiously at the door of the emergency room.

Jin Fenglian Ye Xiuhong and Zhao Zhaodi knelt by the window in the corridor, clasped their hands together, and prayed to the gods.

Jin Fenglian muttered, "God, the Jade Emperor, everyone, please have mercy on me and bless me. From now on, the Ye family will provide you with white flour buns every day."

Zhao Zhaodi kowtowed beside him, "Queen Mother, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and Yama King, I was really wrong. Please spare my granddaughter. I will suffer for her. If you want to take her away, come and take me away."

Several people at the windowsill prayed to all the gods.

"Amitabha, Amitabha." The sound of prayers filled the entire waiting area.

Old man Ye squatted on the ground without saying a word. Ye Sanxing silently took off his cotton jacket and gave it to Ye Xiuhong.

Ye Sanxing and Ye Dajun both peeked inside through the crack in the emergency room door, but they could see nothing.

"Dong Dong Dong" a chaotic sound of footsteps came from far away

Ye Yang and Bai Wei ran over anxiously from the other end of the corridor.

When Zhao Zhaodi saw her son coming, she was so panicked that she didn't know what to say and lowered her head to avoid his gaze.

Before leaving in the morning, her son asked her to look after the child, and she discovered something was wrong.

"What's going on! How are Xiaoling and Nai?"

"Where is my Xiaoling? How are you taking care of the child?"

Ye Yang and Bai Wei spoke at the same time. The Ye family didn't know how to explain it. They still didn't understand it.

Ye Xiuhong, the first person to discover the situation, had no choice but to step forward and say, "Brother Yang, when I was coming home from the fields today, I heard geese calling from my uncle's house. I looked over and saw Xiaoling lying at the gate with blood all over her head. The bleeding wouldn't stop, and her cotton-padded jacket was soaked through. Then our grandmother came out and saw her, and she fainted. She's in there getting emergency treatment now, and I don't know how she's doing."

Ye Yang felt his vision go dark and he reached out to hold onto the railing of the chair to support his body. He couldn't imagine his daughter lying on the ground covered in blood.

"Boom"

Bai Wei was stimulated, and her nerves, which had been tense all the way, could no longer be controlled, and she fell to the ground.

"Xiao Wei!"

Ye Yang dragged his weak body to help her up and put her on the bench.

Go get the nurse some glucose and feed it to her little by little.

After Bai Wei recovered from drinking the glucose, she started to make a fuss.

"Are you, the Ye family, taking revenge on me? You can't bear to see me and Ye Yang divorced, so you're taking your anger out on the children! I'm going to sue you! I'm blind, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs! You're not human!"

Zhao Zhaodi, who usually doesn't get along with her, is really in the wrong today, but if Bai Wei accuses her of deliberately harming Ye Ling, she won't take the blame. That's her precious son's biological daughter, how could she harm her!

"Bai Wei, who are you putting the blame on? Xiaoling is my son's child, how can I harm her?" Zhao Zhaodi got up from the ground and argued with Bai Wei.

Bai Wei was so angry that she could no longer think. She was convinced that Ye Ling was harmed by the Ye family, especially Zhao Zhaodi. Zhao Zhaodi never liked girls and always wanted Ye Yang to give birth to a son.

Bai Wei stared at Zhao Zhaodi fiercely, raised her finger and pointed at her, saying, "Is there anything you, Zhao Zhaodi, can't do? Haven't you always wanted to have a grandson? Do you want Ye Yang to marry someone else and have a son? Did you deliberately kill my Xiaoling to get rid of a burden?"

Bai Wei's words made sense. Plus, Zhao Zhaodi had indeed always been dissatisfied with Ye Yang and his wife for not having a son, and she often grumbled about having a son. Come to think of it, it was true.

For a moment, the Ye family looked at Zhao Zhaodi with suspicion.

"I, I, why are you looking at me like that! How is this possible? I am her biological grandmother. I admit that I don't like girls very much. I have also thought about marrying another one for Ye Yang, but I have never thought of harming Xiao Ling!"

Zhao Zhaodi cried out for justice and wished she could jump into the Yellow River to prove her innocence.

She went to the village to fetch some water and asked Ye Ling to stay at home with Old Lady Ye. Who could have thought that something bad would happen!

Bai Wei looked at Zhao Zhaodi coldly, "Xiaoling is just a child. Everyone in the village is an acquaintance. Who else can do this except you?"

Zhao Zhaodi was about to retort anxiously.

Ye Yang didn't believe that his mother could do such a thing and wanted to find out what happened this morning.

"Mom, don't be anxious. Can you tell me what happened this morning?"

Seeing that her son was still willing to listen to her, Zhao Zhaodi suddenly found support and cried to Ye Yang, "Son, it's really not your mother. I love you so much, how could I hurt your child!"

Ye Yang helped Zhao Zhaodi calm down.

Zhao Zhaodi continued, "This morning, the water tank at home was empty, so I went out to fetch some water. It was cold, so I asked Xiaoling to stay home with the old lady. When I came back, I saw a group of people running to the clinic from a distance. When I got home, I saw blood all over the doorway and no one was home. I knew something was wrong. Oh my! What the hell was that bastard who attacked such a young child? What kind of water did I go out to fetch?"

Bai Wei cried with red eyes and pointed at Zhao Zhaodi and said, "Act! Keep acting! You vicious woman! Ye Yang, you just watch your mother act like this!"

"Alright! Let's talk after the person wakes up."

Ye Yang couldn't get anything out of him. He believed that his mother would not be that kind of person. He could only wait until Xiao Ling and Old Lady Ye got through it.

"Okay! Just be on the same page with your mother!"

Bai Wei knelt and prayed by the east window, staying away from the Ye family. In her eyes, Zhao Zhaodi was now a murderer.

She had never believed in these feudal superstitions in the countryside before, but when it happened to her, she found that she had no choice but to believe in them.

As darkness fell, the lights in the emergency room finally went out.

"Ye Ling, are Liu Guohua's family members here?" a nurse came out of the emergency room and asked.

"Here"

"We are"

"I'm her mother"

A group of people rushed over and surrounded the nurse, asking about what was going on inside.

"Comrade, how are my mother and granddaughter?"

"How is my daughter?"

"Comrade, are they all okay?"

The Ye family members asked the nurse questions one after another, and the nurse understood their anxiety.

I explained to them carefully one by one, "The little girl's condition is quite critical. After the operation, she needs to be kept in the intensive care unit for observation. The old lady's condition is better. After her blood vessels are cleared, she can be transferred to the general ward soon. She'll be fine once she wakes up. You can ask the attending doctor again when he comes out."

The nurse looked at the family and felt worried about them as they didn't look like they were rich.

"The cost of this rescue and the girl's subsequent treatment is quite a large sum. You should quickly find someone to chip in."

After saying that, he gave the Ye family a payment slip and went back to the emergency room.

The Ye family, who had been worried for a whole day, finally felt relieved. At least the two people inside were saved. Looking at the payment slip in their hands, they thought of Ye Ling who needed further observation and treatment.

The Ye family started to worry again. The majority of the family’s savings had been mailed away by the second son. Where would the family get the money now?

Zhao Zhaodi couldn't read, and seeing Ye Dajun's bad face, she whispered, "How much do I have to pay?"

Ye Dajun scratched his head and looked at the bill and said, "I have to pay 120 this time."

"What!"

"so much!"

The Ye family couldn't believe their ears.

They knew that medical treatment was expensive, but they didn't expect it to be so expensive. One hundred and twenty yuan is nothing. A formal worker in a state-owned factory now earns twenty yuan a month, Ye Daxing only earns ten yuan a month as a factory warehouse keeper, and Ye Yang earns eight yuan a month as a substitute teacher in the commune primary school, not to mention that almost all the other members of the Ye family are old farmers.

One hundred and twenty yuan is almost the annual income of a peasant family.

The head of the family, Old Man Ye, made the decision and said, "First son, come home with me and look for some money at home. Borrow some from relatives and neighbors first. Third son, go to the fourth son's house and see if she can share some with you. Third son's wife, go to Xiushan and Xiaoli to get some money together."

Everyone dispersed and went their separate ways to collect money. Bai Wei also returned to the educated youth site to find someone to collect money from. Passing by the post office, she wrote a letter to her family in Shanghai, wanting to see if her parents and uncle had been rehabilitated and returned. She needed money very much now.
