Chapter 371 The Orphanage's Lies: The Handsome Flower Boy 71

When the news reached the hospital, Zhou Weimin was undergoing rehabilitation training.

With the help of a nurse, he used crutches to train his legs little by little, but the pain in his legs was so intense that he couldn't put any weight on them.

"Comrade Zhou, take your time."

The nurse helped him up and comforted him.

Just then, Wang Xiuying pushed the door open and came in, holding the notice in her hand.

She was pale and didn't say a word as she handed the notice to Zhou Weimin.

Zhou Weimin took it with a puzzled look, read two lines, and his hand began to tremble.

Upon seeing the words "dismissed from public office," his vision went black, and his crutches clattered to the ground, accidentally hitting the nurse's foot.

"hiss……"

The poor nurse was in excruciating pain from being hit; she really wanted to push him away.

"This, this is!"

He was speaking incoherently, holding the things in his hands, his eyes red with excitement.

"Dad's case has been investigated and clarified: he accepted bribes and abused his power for personal gain."

"You've been expelled from the Party, your benefits have been revoked, and they're taking back your house. We have to move out before the Lantern Festival."

Wang Xiuying said that the feeling of irritability in her heart was getting stronger and stronger.

From the moment Zhou Weimin was injured and lying in the hospital doing nothing, she already felt that he was a burden.

What a useless man! His family has been in trouble for so long and he's still lying in the hospital enjoying himself. He can't help at all.

A useless man like that makes me feel exhausted just looking at him.

Zhou Weimin was so devastated by the news that he could barely stand up. He knew very little about the outside world while he was in the hospital.

These past few days, hardly anyone from his family has come to visit him. Apart from his mother-in-law bringing him food, no one seems to care about him at all.

My brother-in-law is locked up and hasn't come out yet. We haven't even settled things with my brother-in-law, and now my father-in-law has been taken away too.

My mother-in-law can't do anything but cook and take care of the children. My wife, the only one with free time, is rarely seen.

He had absolutely no way of obtaining information from the outside world.

But when the result came out, he knew that everything he had done over the years had been in vain.

He willingly became a live-in son-in-law for the sake of his future, abandoning his eldest son for the same reason.

Over the years, I've lived under the Wang family's thumb, always meek and subservient, enduring countless grievances and hardships.

Now I've lost my job, my house, my status, my future—I've lost everything!

His injuries hadn't even healed before he lost everything.

"My leg, my leg is not healed yet."

No, the organization cannot do that!

He murmured to himself, it must be because of his injury.

If I recover my health now, I can definitely change the situation.

Wang Xiuying looked at him with a complicated expression. What time is it now? Everything has changed at home. What are you still fantasizing about?

That's terrifyingly naive.

"The doctor said that your leg will stay like this from now on."

I will definitely limp when I walk, it will hurt on rainy days, I can't do heavy work, and I can't stand for long periods of time.

Of course, this is assuming a successful recovery. If the recovery is incomplete, the person may not be able to stand up again.

She paused for a moment, as if she had made a great decision, and then said the words she had been thinking about for a long time.

"Weimin, let's get a divorce."

Zhou Weimin looked up abruptly, unable to believe his ears. At this critical moment, his wife actually wanted to divorce him!

His wife filed for divorce when he was at his most vulnerable and needed someone by his side the most; it was like killing him emotionally.

"I'm taking Zihan and Zixuan with me. You'll stay in the hospital. Once you're discharged, figure out what to do yourself."

Wang Xiuying turned away, avoiding his eyes.

"I can't do anything about the situation at home now. I'm still young, and I can't let things be ruined like this."

“Wang Xiuying!” he roared, interrupting.

Zhou Weimin tried to grab her, but because of his leg injury, he stumbled and fell to the ground.

"You can't do this! I'm your husband! I'm the children's father!"

Wang Xiuying left without looking back. Anyway, no one could catch up with her, and who could stop her from leaving if she wanted to?

My family is right, Zhou Weimin is just an unlucky and unfortunate person.

She had enjoyed a comfortable life for so many years, growing up in luxury, but because she married such an unlucky son-in-law, her family has ended up like this.

It's all because of this unlucky man!

She had to run away quickly; she still had an education and could find a job to support her family and children.

But it's absolutely impossible for me to serve another man who has no blood relation to me.

What else can he do besides cause trouble and add to the burden?

As for work? With the most powerful and influential father fallen from grace, what can a son-in-law possibly do?

As her husband, she knew very well that Zhou Weimin was not a particularly capable person.

With the help of my family, it has taken me many years to get to where I am today.

Without help, and now disabled, what can they do?

The sound of her high heels echoed in the corridor, crisp and resolute, her refusal to look back remarkably like the way she had abandoned her child.

The word "retribution" kept swirling in my mind.

Zhou Weimin lay on the ground, trying to get up, but his left leg was in excruciating pain. He pounded the ground with all his might, but could only rage helplessly.

He could do nothing but get angry.

After all these years, he gave his all, only to end up like this?

Betrayed by everyone, his future ruined, and left disabled for the rest of his life, such an ending is unworthy of his efforts, unworthy of his efforts to live off women and to be with rich women.

He was unwilling to accept it.

Today is the eve of the Lunar New Year, and firecrackers are being set off everywhere outside. The sound of firecrackers is constant, and everyone is celebrating the reunion.

And he had nothing left.

The nurse rushed over upon hearing the noise, saw Zhou Weimin lying on the floor crying, shook her head, and helped him back to bed.

It's snowing again outside the window.

As the snowflakes fell in a flurry, Zhou Weimin lay there, his heart filled with despair.

Besides lying down, he couldn't do anything else.

It was truly a case of crying out to heaven and earth in vain.

No one paid any attention to him. The nurses left, and his wife left too. During this time of family reunion, not a single person came to the hospital to see him.

Meanwhile, in the brightly lit Shen family home, Mother Shen was cooking dumplings in the kitchen, Aunt Li was pasting paper-cut window decorations, and Lu Jinnian was helping to hang lanterns.

Shen Ci stood by the window, watching the snow falling heavily, and then hung up the phone.

"Mom, dinner's ready!"

Lu Jinnian called out from the living room.

"They're here."

She turned around with a smile on her face; the call was from the hospital.

The nurses at the hospital relayed everything that had happened at the hospital to us.

She never expected the Wang family to be so heartless; this seemed unusual, considering they had been married for many years.

They already have two children, how can they just get a divorce like that?

There might be other issues here that we could delve deeper into.

This year, Lu Jinnian can finally have a proper New Year.

As for those who deserve punishment, the snow will cover everything.

But when spring comes, what is meant to sprout will sprout, and what is meant to rot will rot.
