Su Jianguo looked at the few remaining belongings in the house, which had been smashed to pieces by his son.
My head is throbbing; "These were all bought with money, and you've smashed them all, how are we supposed to live now?"
Su Mu had never been so devastated. He roared, "You still know how to ask how we're going to live? You didn't leave us a single penny. Are you going to let the two of us starve to death at home?"
"Your sister has it tough over there."
"Then it's easy for us. You can give her half. Why give her all of it? Weren't we starving enough last month?"
Su Mu now deeply understands how Su Li felt back then, and he even begins to regret that he shouldn't have treated her so badly.
Anyone would go crazy if they had a father who didn't care whether they lived or died.
In the past, Su Li was always the one to rush to his aid in everything, but now that Su Li is gone, he has come to deeply feel Su Guoqiang's obsession.
Just because of a letter from Su Jiaojiao saying she needed more than eighty yuan, he wasn't even in a hurry to pay back the money he borrowed from others.
He didn't care about household expenses; as soon as he received his salary, he sent it all away without keeping a single penny for himself.
It's as if they've forgotten he has two children; the experience of going hungry last month is still vivid in their minds. They had been eagerly awaiting his paycheck, only to find it was empty.
In a fit of anger, he smashed everything in the house, declaring, "I won't eat! Let everyone stop eating and starve to death!"
And Su Jiaojiao was the same; he used to idolize her and treat her even better than his own sister.
She borrowed money urgently to go to the countryside. She knew how difficult things were at home, but as soon as her father received his salary, she took it all and left.
He wouldn't believe it if you said it wasn't intentional.
How could anyone be so heartless? Isn't that just starving him to death?
Looking back now, he realizes that he could only live a good life when Su Li was around.
"Xiao Mu, don't worry, I'll borrow some, you definitely won't go hungry."
"You make it sound so nice, but you haven't even paid back the money you borrowed last time. Who else would lend you money? Having a father like you is the worst thing that could have happened to me in my past life."
Su Guoqiang never expected that one day his beloved son would say such things about him.
He doesn't understand me. I try to explain to him nicely, but he blames me.
It seems this brat is asking for a beating. Today, he'll teach him a lesson and show him who's the head of the household.
He stormed into the yard, grabbed a stick, and started hitting Su Mu.
"You brat, you're already talking about your father now. How can I count on you in the future? Your sister is a girl, it's so hard for her out there. You don't understand, and you keep picking fights. I'll beat you to death today."
Su Mu has lost a lot of weight due to hunger. He hasn't had dinner yet and is feeling dizzy from hunger.
When Su Guoqiang hit him, he felt dizzy. He was hit on the calf with a stick, and the pain was excruciating.
He almost lost his balance and fell to the ground. When Su Guoqiang saw him like this, he thought he was faking it and hit him with the stick again.
Su Mu instinctively tried to dodge, but his leg was broken, and he couldn't avoid being hit on the head with the stick.
The person collapsed instantly.
At first, Su Guoqiang thought he was faking fainting to scare him.
He kicked him and said, "You little brat, stop pretending and get up right now."
After kicking him several times, he still didn't move, and Su Guoqiang started to panic.
He quickly put the person on his back and ran towards the hospital.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Su Mu was wheeled into the operating room.
The nurse reminded Su Guoqiang to pay the bill, as he had no money on him at all.
A short while later, the doctor came out of the operating room, and Su Guoqiang hurriedly went to greet him.
"Doctor, is my son alright?"
"He fainted because of a head injury, a mild concussion, and needs to rest. The most critical issue now is his lower leg, which has a fracture and requires minor surgery. This is the surgical consent form; if you agree to the surgery, just sign it and pay the fees."
How much money do you need?
Fifty yuan
Su Guoqiang asked softly, "What would happen if we didn't have this surgery?"
"Without surgery, the patient may experience intermittent leg pain and limping in the future. We have performed this type of surgery many times, the risk is very small, and it is almost always successful. I recommend that the patient have the surgery as soon as possible. After the surgery and recovery, the patient will be almost like a normal person."
Regret flashed in Su Guoqiang's eyes; he shouldn't have hit him in a moment of impulse.
He has no money left now. After all, he's his son, and he can't just stand by and watch him become a cripple.
He couldn't do that either, so he said to the doctor, "I don't have any money right now. Could you see if I can have the surgery first, and I'll pay you back when I get my salary next month?"
“Our hospital has no precedent for this. I am just a doctor and do not have the authority to set this precedent.”
"Then I'll go back and borrow money now."
"The patient needs surgery as soon as possible, hurry up."
Su Guoqiang rushed back and knocked on his neighbors' doors one by one to borrow money.
As you can imagine, no one was willing to lend him money. The reason was simple: the last time someone lent him money, he received his salary and didn't even mention paying it back.
They promised to give it to him as soon as he got paid, but when they asked him for it after receiving their salaries, he refused again.
These days, it's not easy for anyone to earn even a few dozen yuan, and everyone is afraid of losing it all.
How could I possibly lend it to him again?
Unable to borrow any money, he returned to the hospital dejectedly and told the doctor that he would give up on treatment.
He carried Su Mu home again.
Although Su Mu survived those difficult years, his leg remained crippled for life due to delayed treatment.
