In the best single room in the health center, Song Qiuxue lay there, her face deathly pale.
Old Tang booked the entire floor so that he wouldn't be seen by acquaintances.
Inside the ward, Old Man Tang, Tang Su'e, Tang Suxiang, and Song Hanwen and his mother were all present.
Two days ago, because of Song Qiuxue's matter, Old Man Tang slapped Song Hanwen, almost causing a major falling out. Tang Suxiang privately persuaded Song Hanwen to forgive his grandfather.
"Are Erzhuang and his wife still at your house?" Tang Suxiang and Tang Su'e whispered a few words to each other.
“Those two are unreasonable, they just wouldn’t leave.” Tang Su’e had nothing good to say about Song Erzhuang’s family. “Dad made them sleep in the empty pigsty.”
Tang Suxiang gloated, "Didn't Erzhuang cause trouble for our dad?"
"That couple was both stupid and cowardly. Dad told Song Erzhuang that Qiuxue refused to see him and told him to make do in the pigsty for a few days, saying that there were no spare rooms at home. He also said that he had been trying to persuade Qiuxue and that once he got through to her, Qiuxue would immediately bring him to see her. So Song Erzhuang obediently stayed in the pigsty. As for Qiao Guilan, well, that goes without saying!"
The two of them were speaking ill of Song Erzhuang's family, belittling Song Erzhuang and his wife to the point of being utterly worthless.
Although the sound was soft, others could still hear some of it.
Sitting by the hospital bed, Old Man Tang scolded them a few times. Wasn't it just making Qiu Xue feel bad by talking about these things in front of her?
Lying on her hospital bed, Song Qiuxue clenched her fists unconsciously, her heart filled with hatred.
Hate yourself for being your parents' daughter.
Why do I hate my parents for being so useless?
She hated that something had happened to her, and wondered why none of her family members could help her.
"If you ask me, this is all Yinhua's fault!" Tang Suxiang said. "If it weren't for Yinhua, would Qiuxue have been bullied by a few hooligans? Would this have happened? Dad, we can't let Qiuxue suffer in vain. You have to stand up for Qiuxue!"
Song Hanwen couldn't stand it anymore, so he opened the ward door and went out for a smoke.
Looking up, I saw Song Erzhuang and his wife standing at the door.
"Second Uncle, Second Aunt? Baogen is here too?"
Tang Suxiang and Tang Su'e, who were still talking badly about Song Erzhuang's family in the ward, turned their heads in surprise. When they saw Song Erzhuang and his wife, embarrassment flashed across their faces. They guessed that they had heard what they had just said.
The veins on Song Erzhuang's forehead were bulging, making him look like he was about to kill someone.
He pushed open the door and rushed in, "Uncle, you said Qiu Xue wouldn't see me, and you asked me to persuade her. Is this how you persuaded her?"
He angrily grabbed Song Qiuxue and beat her severely.
“You silly girl, such a big thing happened, why didn’t you come home? I’m your real father. You didn’t discuss things with your parents, and you listened to your great-uncle’s family and had an abortion. Do you even respect me? Your mother and I made your older sister and Caixing drop out of school so that you could go to university in the provincial capital. Even your second brother dropped out of school. Is this how you repay us?”
Song Erzhuang was blinded by rage, and Old Man Tang, feeling sorry for Song Qiuxue, used his body to shield her.
"Song Erzhuang, stop fighting! Stop right now! Come here and kick Song Erzhuang out!"
Song Hanwen and Tang Suxiang went up to pull Song Erzhuang away, but Song Erzhuang slapped them away with his arm.
He lashed out at Song Hanwen, "Hanwen, I've treated you well in the past, how could you do this to my daughter?"
"This has nothing to do with me. Don't take it out on me. My grandfather is old. If you hurt him, can you take responsibility?"
"Your maternal grandfather and your mother framed my Yinhua and Xiao Si first, and now they're framing Qiuxue. I'll definitely settle this score with your family later!"
"Song Erzhuang, you dare touch my mother and see what happens!" Song Hanwen retorted defiantly, calling his own uncle by his name. "I have connections at the police station. If you lay a finger on her, I'll send you to jail..."
Song Erzhuang slapped Tang Suxiang on the head as she was pulling him away. "I'm going to hit you today! You hurt my Qiuxue, I'm not only going to hit you, I'm going to beat you to death!"
"You son of a bitch, Song Erzhuang, how dare you hit my mother?" Song Hanwen threw a punch back, and the two began to wrestle.
Tang Suxiang ambushed Song Erzhuang, kicking and scratching him, and even called for Tang Su'e to come and fight with her.
Tang Su'e wasn't being foolish; after all, they were Qiu Xue's adoptive parents, and she didn't want to offend either of them.
Qiao Guilan only dared to wipe away her tears and cry on the side.
Song Baogen rushed forward to help his father, but Tang Suxiang grabbed his hair, preventing him from doing so.
The rest of the Tang family also arrived at this time.
They saw Song Baogen bring the Tang family and leave with Song Erzhuang and his wife, so they followed them all the way.
Upon seeing the fight in the ward, they rushed in without saying a word to help Song Hanwen beat up Song Erzhuang.
No matter how hard Song Erzhuang tried, he still left himself some room to maneuver, unwilling to actually hurt his own nephew.
But the Tang family didn't hold back.
Tang Dafei was particularly ruthless; he grabbed a chair from the ward and smacked Song Erzhuang on the back of the head.
The chair shattered into pieces instantly.
Song Erzhuang's head was covered in blood.
Tang Youliang, shocked, scolded his son, "Dafei, what are you doing?"
"Dad, his family caused Xiaowei to go to jail and got me arrested. They even tried to extort money from my family. They deserve to be beaten! We can't let them get away with this!" Tang Dafei saw that the chair was broken, so he quickly searched around the room and found another stool.
He picked up the stool and was about to smash it over Song Erzhuang's head again.
Enraged, Song Erzhuang punched through the oncoming stool and landed heavily on Tang Dafei's face, sending Tang Dafei flying several meters away.
He rushed up and grabbed Tang Dafei, punching him repeatedly.
When Zhou Qiaoyun saw her son being beaten, she cried out for Tang Youliang and Song Hanwen to save her son.
Song Hanwen and Tang Youliang rushed forward; one grabbed Song Erzhuang by the neck, while the other rescued Tang Dafei.
Enraged, Song Erzhuang slammed backward, and Tang Youliang, who was holding his neck, became his cushion.
His back slammed heavily against the ground, and he seemed to hear the sound of bones breaking.
Outside the ward, Song Yinhua sat in a chair against the wall, with her imposing black wolfhound beside her.
She ignored the chaos inside and didn't go in.
"There's grain!" Old Tang shouted anxiously. "Are you alright? Song Erzhuang, get up quickly, are you trying to crush my son?"
"You harmed my daughter, I'll make your son and grandson pay with their lives!" Song Erzhuang was enraged and blinded by rage. His mind went blank, and all he could think about was fighting and killing!
Qiao Guilan was afraid that someone would die, so she told Tang Suxiang to let go and asked Baogen to hold his father back.
Tang Suxiang immediately released Song Baogen's hair.
"I'm not going!" Song Baogen said angrily. "They harmed my eldest sister and Caixing first, and now they're harming Qiuxue. They should be taught a lesson!"
Tang Youliang lay on the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.
Song Erzhuang got up energetically and was about to grab Tang Dafei, but Zhou Qiaoyun held Tang Dafei tightly behind her.
“Song Erzhuang, this is a matter between you and my father-in-law, it has nothing to do with my Dafei. If it weren’t for my Dafei informing you, you still wouldn’t know about Qiuxue’s matter. You should thank my Dafei. If anyone should be beaten, it should be Tang Su’e’s son and daughter!”
"Zhou Qiaoyun, what nonsense are you talking about? My son and daughter know nothing about Qiu Xue's matter. It was Hanwen who found an anesthesiologist to impersonate a doctor in the county, which caused Qiu Xue's massive bleeding." Tang Su'e immediately betrayed Song Hanwen.
