Zhang's mother asked anxiously, "Why didn't she come back?"
If Tonghua doesn't come back during this period of time, then everything she has done before will be in vain. She is waiting for Tonghua to appear.
Because she hadn't received the 50,000 yuan yet, Zhang Guiying had to patiently answer: "That's a long story. Tonghua was kidnapped before, and now everyone in the neighborhood knows about it. It's spread like wildfire. Tong Chengsheng has been staying home drinking all day because of it. I called Tonghua and asked her to come back and talk to her father, but Tong Chengsheng scolded her and sent her away."
Hearing Tonghua return to the neighborhood, Zhang's mother smiled strangely, wanting to burst out laughing immediately. But she was on the phone after all, so she couldn't make a sound.
She had gone to the neighborhood where the Tong family lived before just to spread the news that Tonghua had been kidnapped. There were many gossips in the neighborhood, and kidnapping was a big deal. She wanted those people to humiliate Tonghua and embarrass her. Sometimes rumors could kill a person, and she wanted Tonghua to suffer as well, so that she could balance the pain of her daughter's accident.
She feigned concern and asked, "Why did you drive her away, Brother Tong? Is it because you feel your daughter has lost face?"
Although Zhang's mother seemed to be trying to persuade the other party, she was actually gloating. She felt that Tong Chengsheng must have scolded Tong Hua because he felt that Tong Hua was ashamed. This was exactly what she wanted. She wished that Tong Hua would be scolded as badly as possible.
When Zhang's mother thought about Tong Hua returning to the Tong family, being criticized by the neighbors and being kicked out of the house by her father, she thought that Tong Hua must be in great pain now, and she almost laughed out loud.
Zhang Guiying curled her lips: "How would I know? When I drove Tonghua away, he scolded me for calling Tonghua back and quarreled with me all day long. Just tell me, isn't this kind of incompetent man really useless?"
"That's not what I meant. My husband is the same way," Zhang's mother changed the subject. "If Tonghua doesn't come back, how can I contact her? I was so concerned about my daughter's accident that I misunderstood Tonghua. I still want to apologize to her in person, but now it seems that I have no choice but to go to her house in person. I wonder where she lives now?"
Zhang Guiying found it increasingly inconceivable: "You're actually thinking of going all the way to apologize to her? I think there's absolutely no need."
In fact, Zhang Guiying secretly despised Zhang's mother in her heart, thinking that she was too weak. If she were Zhang's mother, she would definitely not come to apologize so humbly.
Zhang's mother said with tears in her eyes: "Actually, I am doing this to accumulate merit for my daughter. You know my daughter is still in a coma in the hospital..."
As a parent, Zhang Gui naturally understood Zhang's mother's feelings. He recalled that when Tong Zhengyuan was still young, he fell seriously ill after being caught in the rain and had a high fever while sleeping in the middle of the night.
At that time, she didn't care about anything else and immediately took her child to the hospital for treatment. However, the high fever was really hard to reduce. Even after getting an injection and taking medicine, the fever still recurred for three days and three nights.
When she was watching over her son, she heard others say that the longer a child has a high fever, the more likely he is to become a fool. She was very worried at that time.
Seeing that the high fever kept coming back, she, who had never believed in ghosts or gods, prayed secretly in her heart, hoping that her son would be safe this time, even if it meant she would live ten years less.
Eventually, my son's high fever subsided and his condition improved.
Zhang Guiying was moved by her mother's words, and now there was a hint of sincerity in her words: "We are all mothers, I know how you feel. Tonghua lives in Room 501, Building 6, Lantianchenyuan, Tiansheng Road. You can just go there to find her."
Zhang's mother said excitedly: "Thank you, Zhang Mei. I will find a way to transfer the money to you right away."
Seeing that her goal was achieved, Zhang's mother hung up the phone in a hurry.
......
Since Tong Hua was kicked out of the Tong family, she returned to Lantian Chenyuan. When she opened the door and looked at the cold house, she felt extremely lonely in her heart. Now she wished Qin Zun could be with her.
But when she thought of what Tong Chengsheng said to her, that she was not worthy of staying in the Tong family and that the Tong family did not welcome her, Tong Hua smiled self-deprecatingly. Even her own biological father could not tolerate her, so how dare she make demands on others?
She lay powerlessly on the sofa, staring out the window, her tears soaking the sofa cloth beneath her. She stared from dusk to sunrise, and her eyes were so dry that even moving them was extremely difficult.
"Ding-dong..."
The phone rang at this moment, but Tonghua's thoughts had become extremely dull, and her five senses seemed to have been separated from her body. The phone ringing sounded a little noisy to others, but when it reached Tonghua's ears, it seemed very far away.
The phone kept ringing, and after it was automatically hung up, the caller seemed to be unwilling to give up because the call was not connected. The phone rang again, and continued for several minutes.
The fairy tale world was finally quiet, or perhaps she didn't even notice the phone call. She was now deeply immersed in pain. She really didn't understand why her father could hurt her again and again, and for no reason at all.
I don’t know how long it was, but suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Perhaps knowing someone was home, the knock was short and intense.
“Knock knock knock, knock knock knock…”
The knocking on the door continued, and the sound was so loud that it even pulled Tonghua's thoughts back. She murmured to herself: "It's so noisy... so noisy..."
But the person outside the door seemed to be deliberately going against the fairy tale. The sound of knocking on the door became louder and louder. The sound was so loud that it didn't sound like knocking on the door at all, but more like hammering on the door. The "dong dong dong" sound of hammering on the door seemed to be hammering on people's hearts, making it impossible to ignore its existence.
For fear of disturbing the neighbors upstairs and downstairs, Tonghua had to stand up and prepare to open the door. However, because she had maintained the same posture for too long, her body was stiff and her blood circulation was blocked. As soon as she stood up, she stumbled and her arm fell heavily on the edge of the coffee table.
But Tonghua didn't even check to see if her arm was injured. After struggling to stand up, she continued to move forward with difficulty. The short distance of more than ten meters seemed to take Tonghua several long minutes to walk.
When Tonghua walked to the door, it became quiet outside, but at the same time, Tonghua's cell phone rang again.
Tonghua didn't know whether the person was still outside the door, but she still reached out and opened the door with great effort.
After opening the door, Tonghua looked at the person in front of him and said weakly: "Why are you here?"
