"You are the ones who don't know how to cherish what you have, and now you're criticizing us. Who gave you the audacity to say that?"
"What are you trying to do? Do you want to kill me?" Song Weidong was intimidated, but he said defiantly, "Lu Zhixia is my lawfully wedded wife, and I will not let her go!"
Gu Lingxiao raised his hand and grabbed his neck, slowly saying, "Actually, there are many ways to make someone disappear, especially someone like you who's burdened by gambling debts. Throw them into a sewer, or break them and throw them into the river. Nobody will know—"
Song Weidong panicked. He hadn't expected Gu Lingxiao to go to such lengths, to actually intend to kill him. As the grip on his neck tightened, he could only speak.
You can't do that!
"Don't ever appear in front of me again, because I don't know what I'm capable of doing. For example, your neck, if I just twist it hard, won't it break?"
He slowly released his grip and stepped back a few paces to make room.
"I'm leaving, I'm leaving right now."
Song Weidong was frightened. There was no one around. If this guy really wanted to do something, it would be easy for him!
Why are both this person and Lu Zhixia so crazy? He grabbed his son, turned around, and limped away.
A torrential downpour began, but there was no thunder. Gu Lingxiao waited in the car for a while before driving away.
Song Weidong left with his son in a disheveled state, only to be caught in a torrential downpour, getting soaked from head to toe. When he got home, he developed a fever. He searched the house thoroughly but couldn't find any fever reducers. Finally, he collapsed from exhaustion and lay unconscious on the living room floor.
Seeing this, Song Yaozu was frightened, so he could only knock on the neighbor's door. After much pleading, they finally took his father to the hospital.
Five or six people stood at the payment counter, pooling their money.
"What bad luck, I should have known better than to come." The man pulled a dollar from his pocket. "This is my secret stash of money that I've been saving up, and this guy actually used it!" He then spat on the ground.
The woman next to him looked unhappy. "We're just neighbors, why should we pay?"
At this moment, someone spoke up weakly, "We brought the person here, so it's reasonable for the doctor to ask us for money."
They all sighed upon hearing this. They were too soft-hearted to care, so they chipped in a few cents and a dollar, barely scraping together enough to pay Song Weidong's medical bills. They didn't pay a deposit; none of them wanted to be taken advantage of, especially since they didn't have any money on hand.
"In my opinion, he deserves it. He couldn't live a good life and had to follow others and find a woman, and he even found such a woman!"
"Isn't that right? He deserves it; that's what men who cheat should be like!"
"Forget it, what are we arguing about? Let's get out of here, or the doctor will come after us for money."
Upon hearing this, the group turned and left, each afraid that if they hesitated, Song Yaozu would call them back.
Standing alone in the corner, Song Yaozu memorized all their faces. He didn't thank them at all; instead, he hated them in his heart!
Lin Yueru passed by and saw that the little boy's face, shoes, and clothes were dirty. She immediately asked around for directions.
"Whose child is this? Where are the parents?"
"Isn't anyone going to do something about this?"
She asked several questions but no one paid attention; it was her first time working the night shift.
Not knowing how to handle the situation, I could only walk up to the child.
"Little brother, where are your parents?"
"Sister!" Song Yaozu cried, feigning grievance, "My dad was beaten up, and my mom just ran away with someone!"
Lin Yueru was shocked after hearing what the child said; it was just too tragic.
"Take me to see your father right away, and the injury on your face needs to be treated!"
"Sister, you're so kind!" Song Yaozu said sweetly.
She felt smug, thinking that as long as she acted well, there was no one she couldn't fool.
Lin Yueru entered the ward to check on the situation. The man had a high fever and was receiving an IV drip. He looked pale and was wearing a hospital gown, which was lying on the floor in tattered clothes.
It was stained with a lot of blood, which matched what the child had said.
"Your mother is so irresponsible, she just beat you up like that!"
"Yes, she's a bad woman, she doesn't want us anymore!" Song Yaozu cried bitterly.
Overcome by a sense of heroism, Lin Yueru felt extremely sorry for the father and son, so she took it upon herself to bring the child back to the office and share the food she had brought with the child.
He cursed that woman in his heart, wishing he could kill her!
——
Gu Lingxiao hid the bowl in a box under the bed, placing it with the books.
These books were all left by my brother, and he brought them all with him. Touching the words left on them, it felt as if my brother was right beside me.
"Brother, I've found someone I like, and I want to be with her!"
Do you agree?
The wind blew in from outside, as if in response to him.
