Finally, He's mother repaired the several hundred yuan, sold her silver bracelet, and moved into a shantytown in the suburbs.
The area was inhabited by hooligans and migrant workers who worked on nearby construction sites.
The cramped and small prefabricated houses are not insulated, and there is not even a fan during the sweltering summer days. They are right next to a garbage station.
Flies swarmed everywhere, and the air was thick with the nauseating stench of fermenting garbage.
But this is their only option right now; at least they have a roof over their heads, which is better than the homeless sleeping under bridges.
Mr. He woke up, but he was paralyzed in bed and unable to move. His wounds were festering and oozing pus; flies could practically carry him away.
He's mother not only had to take care of her paralyzed husband, cleaning up his excrement and urine, but also had to work at the garbage dump to earn a little money for vegetables.
Occasionally, you can find some bread and fruit that haven't gone bad in the garbage dump.
Qi An would never stoop to such a low standard. He stayed comfortably in the presidential suite of a five-star hotel, dressed impeccably every day, to cause trouble for that family.
Look, I have money, but I'm not going to let you spend it.
He Jiabao quickly spent all the money he earned from the gold earrings. When he ran out of money, he would ask his parents for more, and if they didn't give him any, he would beat them severely.
Mother He was beaten black and blue by the grandson she had spoiled, and Father He was practically mangled flesh.
He's mother calls her son every day, fantasizing that he will come back to support her and help them move out of this garbage dump.
What she didn't know was...
His eldest son and daughter-in-law, already wearing silver bracelets, were being escorted back by the police.
Two pale-faced idiots were acting suspiciously at the airport, which aroused the attention of the security personnel.
Before he could even be questioned, he was tackled by a drug-sniffing dog that happened to be on a mission.
Upon final investigation, it turned out that the person was carrying the toxin, enough to warrant execution ten times over.
The two were immediately subdued by airport special police, and with a snap, each was given a pair of silver bracelets.
When He's mother heard the news, she felt as if struck by lightning, as if the sky had collapsed, and she was instantly stunned.
In this country, even an 80-year-old rural woman who can't read a single word knows that trafficking more than 50 grams of drugs will get you shot.
After realizing what was happening, Mrs. He fainted. Mr. He, who had been able to lie in bed and groan a few times, suffered a stroke.
His mouth was crooked and his eyes were slanted. He drooled and had snot running down his nose, and he was also incontinent.
When He's mother woke up, she seemed completely lifeless.
She went to the police station hoping to see her son, but was refused.
The police told her directly that given the amount of drugs He Zhuang and his wife were carrying, their death sentence was a certainty.
The police officer looked at He's mother, who seemed to be on her deathbed, and felt a pang of pity: "It's good that you still have your daughter and grandson. Go back and live a good life, and teach your children well."
Mother He wanted to cry but had no tears.
She does have a daughter, but she has never treated her well. Her daughter hates her to the core and will never take care of her again.
Her grandson, the grandson she had cherished her whole life, she is now afraid of the child.
As for discipline, she smiled bitterly, "It's too late."
After leaving the police station, He's mother walked home like a zombie, contemplating suicide.
She walked to the lake in the park, and even as it got dark, she still didn't have the courage to jump.
A mischievous child ran past her from behind and accidentally bumped into her, which startled her so much that she broke out in a cold sweat.
With nowhere else to go, He's mother could only return to that filthy, smelly home and continue living in despair.
In less than a week, He's mother's hair, which was originally half-white, had turned completely white, making her look more than twenty years older.
She thought this was the limit of her suffering, but little did she know that something even worse was waiting for her.
He Jiabao relapsed into his old ways, molesting a scantily clad girl in a shantytown while making lewd and obscene remarks.
The young delinquent was no weak girl in the mall; she grabbed a steel pipe and swung it at him.
He even yelled and summoned a bunch of thugs and hooligans.
He Jiabao could bully classmates his own age, but when faced with these tall, strong, and simple-minded guys, he could only get beaten up.
Those thugs weren't reasonable people, and He Jiabao, with his foul mouth, got a severe beating.
During the incident, someone kicked and injured his genitals.
When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor said the surgery and subsequent treatment would cost over 100,000 yuan.
The thugs and hooligans simply vanished without a trace. They were already homeless vagrants, so no one could do anything about it once they ran away.
He's mother knelt before the doctor, pleading, "Please, please save my grandson! He's our only son! He's supposed to carry on the family line, he can't just be wasted like this!"
"My son is going to be executed, my grandson can't be harmed either. Please, doctor."
The doctor softened and asked, "What did your son do to deserve being executed?"
Mother He stammered, "Drug trafficking...drug trafficking."
The doctor's hand, which had been opening the wallet, froze. He closed the wallet and said expressionlessly, "Oh, that's all. Take the person back and come back when you've raised enough money."
He's mother knelt in the hospital lobby, but the hospital was not a charity, and no one paid any attention to her.
Mother He had no choice but to take He Jiabao back home. When she saw Qi An at home, her eyes lit up.
"Xiao Qing, please save Jia Bao! Only you can save her."
Qi An touched the large diamond ring on his hand and asked her, "Isn't it beautiful? It cost over ten thousand yuan. Tell me, isn't it sparkly?"
Mrs. He's old eyes were almost blinded by the diamonds.
She was filled with resentment. This ungrateful wretch! The three of them, grandfather, grandmother, and grandson, were practically begging for food, yet she would rather buy these useless things than care about her parents and nephew.
But despite her complaints, she learned her lesson and didn't dare to utter any more nonsense.
She suddenly knelt down before Qi An with a "plop".
"Xiaoqing, it was all my fault before. I'm sorry for what I did to you. I'll kneel down and kowtow to you to admit my mistake."
After saying that, she kowtowed several times solidly. Qi An sat with his legs crossed, watching her kowtow.
Ata said, "This old bastard finally realizes he was wrong? He knows he's sorry to He Qing?"
Fu Gui shook his head: "I think she's faking it."
"Be confident, she's just faking it," Qi An decided.
"The idea of valuing sons over daughters cannot be changed. These values have been deeply ingrained for decades, and it is impossible to change them unless she dies."
"She's acting like this simply to get my forgiveness and make me pay for her grandson's medical treatment."
"Oh, and there's also the moral blackmail. Look, even your own mother is kneeling down and kowtowing to you. If you still don't react, are you even human?"
Ata and Fugui nodded in unison and said, "We weren't human to begin with, haha."
It must be said that Boss Qi, as a vengeful and ferocious beast, understands human nature.
That's what He's mother thought.
She felt that since she, as the biological mother, had knelt down and kowtowed to admit her mistake, He Qing would definitely give in.
He Qing didn't help her up until she bumped her forehead and drew blood.
