Seeing that his mother didn't trust him either, Shen Beizheng felt a sweetness in his throat and couldn't help but vomit another mouthful of blood, which scared Duan Shuang so much that his face turned pale.
"Beizheng, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me." Duan Shuang's voice trembled, his face pale. "Doctor, doctor, come and see my son. He's vomiting blood."
When the nurse heard Duan Shuang's cry, she hurried to the ward.
After learning about the situation, he hurriedly ran to call the doctor. After a lot of trouble, the doctor frowned and advised, "Don't stimulate the patient anymore."
"I understand, doctor. Is my son okay?"
"It's okay, take good rest."
After politely sending the doctor away, Duan Shuang sat down in front of the bed again, even breathing a little lighter, for fear of irritating Shen Beizheng again.
Seeing the disappointment in his son's eyes, Duan Shuang became more and more confused.
Could it be that what Bei Zheng said was true?
But this is too unbelievable. How can such a weak little girl really have so much strength?
"Beizheng, are you okay?"
Shen Beizheng turned his head to the side, indicating that he didn't want to see Duan Shuang, and his voice became very cold.
"Mom, I'm fine. I want to rest for a while."
"Okay, okay, then you have a good rest. Mom won't disturb you. If you are hungry or thirsty, just tell me."
Seeing that her son closed his eyes and did not answer her, Duan Shuang sighed softly and prepared to go out to buy some food for her son.
At this moment, Duan Shuang saw Shen Zhengdong rushing over, and heard her crying with tears in her eyes, looking so pitiful.
"Zhengdong, Beizheng... Beizheng has two broken ribs. You have to take care of him."
Seeing his wife crying out of breath, Shen Zhengdong felt so distressed.
Although Duan Shuang is getting older, she still has her charm and is even more attractive than when she was young.
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhengdong did not rush to promise. Instead, he asked carefully, "Xiao Shuang, stop crying. Tell me what happened first."
"It's your country bumpkin daughter-in-law who made Beizheng suffer like this."
"Why did she fight the Northern Expedition?"
"No matter what the reason is, it's her fault that Bei Zheng was beaten to the point of being hospitalized by her." Duan Shuangyu said angrily, "She's so cruel at such a young age. How can she be a good person?"
Hearing that it was Tang Wanning who beat Shen Beizheng like this, Shen Zhengdong's face became very ugly.
"A country bumpkin is a country bumpkin, he has no manners at all. Beizheng is Xiaonian's brother after all, how could she lay hands on Beizheng!"
"Zhengdong, this time you must seek justice for Beizheng no matter what." Duan Shuang's voice choked with sobs. "Beizheng and I can only rely on you. If even you don't care about us, then we will have no place to stay."
Shen Zhengdong put his arm around Duan Shuang's slender waist and coaxed her softly, "Xiao Shuang, don't worry. I'll take you to the courtyard in a moment and make her pay the price."
"Zhengdong, thank goodness I have you, otherwise I don't know what to do."
"You are my wife and children. I will definitely stand by you. Don't worry."
After comforting his wife, Shen Zhengdong slowly walked to the bedside, his voice filled with his usual gentleness.
"Beizheng, don't worry. I'll take your mother to find your grandfather and ask him to give you an explanation!"
Shen Beizheng, who was lying on the hospital bed, felt his heart sink into an ice cave after hearing his father's words.
Originally, he thought that Shen Zhengdong loved him from the bottom of his heart, but Shen Cinian's words made him deeply doubt this conclusion.
Now that Shen Zhengdong has arrived, his first reaction is not to care about his injuries or to seek justice for him.
Instead, he was concerned about who beat him like this and why the other party attacked him.
This is obviously not the reaction of a father who truly loves his child.
In addition, Shen Zhengdong had told him before that he would arrange for him and Xiaoyun to meet so that they could develop feelings for each other.
But in the end, not only did Shen Zhengdong not keep his promise, he also went to find Shen Cinian and asked him to marry Xiaoyun.
As expected, his "son" could never compare to Shen Qinian, his biological son, in Shen Zhengdong's heart.
But now is not the time to fall out. After all, he, his sister-in-law and mother still rely on Shen Zhengdong for food, clothing, housing and transportation.
"Dad, thank you."
"Silly boy, you are my son, why are you asking me to thank you or not?" Shen Zhengdong's face was full of love. "Okay, have a good rest. I will take your mother to the courtyard."
"good."
After watching Shen Zhengdong take Duan Shuang away, Shen Beizheng's eyes were as cold as ice.
-
Outside the courtyard.
Duan Shuang rubbed her calves, which were sore from standing, and spoke tenderly, "Zhengdong, why isn't our dad home? And Xiaonian and his wife, why haven't they come back yet?"
After waiting at the gate of the courtyard for an entire afternoon, Shen Zhengdong's face was as cold as ice and his brows were twisted into a knot.
Every time they came in the past, Shen Wanshan was at home, so why was he not here this time?
Could it be to avoid them?
This is not impossible, after all, Beizheng is still lying in the hospital.
Humph, go ahead and hide. Let’s see how long you can hide.
"I don't know. Let's wait. I don't believe they won't come back to sleep at night."
Thinking of his son lying in the hospital, Duan Shuangqi almost bit his back teeth to pieces.
"I'm just worried that your body can't take it. How about I go to the neighbor's house next door and borrow a bench for you to sit on?"
Hearing that Duan Shuang was still concerned about his health, Shen Zhengdong's expression eased a little.
As a university teacher, he really doesn't have much physical strength.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Xiaoshuang."
Duan Shuang was just about to knock on the door next door when he heard laughter coming from afar.
Chen Ci Nian opened his thin lips slightly, his voice soft and pleasant, "Ningning, I see that you really like the food at Qiwu Cottage. How about we go there for lunch tomorrow at noon?"
"Sure, while we are still in the capital, let's have a few more meals to satisfy our appetite."
"If you have anything else you want to eat or buy, just tell me."
"Okay." Tang Wanning smiled. "By the way, I was talking about taking my little brothers and sisters around the capital, but I never found the time..."
"That's easy. When I return home the day after tomorrow, I'll take them out to play. If one day isn't enough, I'll play for two days before returning to the provincial capital."
"Will it delay you?"
"No, don't worry, I know what's going on."
When Duan Shuang heard the two of them coming back talking and laughing, he immediately became furious.
Her son is still lying in the hospital, but these two people not only have no remorse, but are discussing eating, drinking and having fun here. It's really too much!
When Shen Zhengdong saw his son's thoughtfulness, he felt mixed emotions.
Ever since Shen Cinian was given to Shen Wanshan to raise, Shen Cinian's attitude towards him has changed 180 degrees.
It was okay when I was a child. Whenever I saw him, there was always a hint of hope in Shen Cinian's eyes.
But as Shen Cinian grew up, his attitude towards him became very distant, and his dependence and expectations on him disappeared.
