Chapter 16 The Aftermath of an Affair
Su Li saw the old lady come out with a gong and ride her bicycle around to the back of the courtyard. She knew there was a door there.
“Ding-ding-ding…”
The clear sound of a gong instantly echoed throughout the not-so-spacious alley.
"Someone come here, someone is breaking my shoes."
The old lady had a loud voice, and the whore had her own appeal, so she shouted twice, and the courtyard gate was quickly surrounded by people.
"Aunt Qin, there really are people in this yard, a man and a woman, and they're frantically pulling off their clothes."
Wang Er was a lazy person who loved to watch the fun. When he heard Aunt Qin knocking the gong, he was the first to come out. He lay down on the crack of the door and squinted his eyes to peek inside.
"Who dares to have an affair in broad daylight? This yard is reserved for the machinery factory manager."
"Who knows? I guess they had it planned long ago, otherwise why would they even secretly make a copy of the key? They must have known that no one was in this yard."
For a moment, the alley was bustling with people talking.
Hearing the sound of the gong from afar, Su Li calculated the time and thought that the two men should come out.
Just when they were inseparable, suddenly a bad guy turned into a good guy. Su Li thought about it and felt that she was getting worse and worse.
But she still felt that this kind of evil was not enough, she wanted them to suffer a hundred times more.
She waited for less than two minutes, and the small door to the backyard was indeed opened from the inside.
Su Li took the camera and secretly took two photos.
Shao Ting'an's collar was open, and it was obvious that he had not had time to button it up. The gentle man looked as miserable as a stray dog.
Zhao Xinran's hair was messy and she was pulling at her skirt as she walked.
After leaving the house, the two did not dare to stay and fled on their bikes.
Shao Ting'an, her good husband; Zhao Xinran, her good student, both of them are so good to her!
Su Li looked at her masterpiece, bit her lip and smiled, put away her camera and rode away on her bike.
…
Su Danian happened to be walking here after get off work. He heard someone shouting "whore", but he didn't take it seriously and rode his bike home.
He was riding his bike and humming a little tune, and he wasn't paying attention and almost collided with a bicycle that came out of the alley.
"Oh, you're riding so fast, there's a dog chasing you." Su Danian grinned and joked.
Seeing the person who stopped opposite him, he exclaimed, "Ting'an?"
"dad!"
Shao Ting'an obviously didn't expect to meet Su Danian. His face was full of panic, and his collar was wide open, and he was carrying someone behind him.
The smile on Su Danian's face froze, "What are you doing with Xiao Zhao?"
Zhao Xinran had followed Su Li to the Su family, and Su Danian was not unfamiliar to her.
Thinking of the group of people gathered in the alley just now saying that someone was committing adultery, he couldn't help but look at the two of them again.
"Shao Ting'an, explain it to me clearly!"
"Dad, Dad..." Shao Ting'an rolled his eyes. "Su Li has a day off today. I thought she might need something, so I went to pick her up. Unexpectedly, she left early, so I ran into Xin Ran and brought her back. I was just thinking about buying Su Li some of her favorite food, but I accidentally fell."
Su Danian looked at him, half believing and half doubting. He knew how good Shao Ting'an was to his daughter.
"Uncle Su, Brother Ting'an feels sorry for Teacher Su. He said she hasn't had an appetite these past few days, so he made a special detour to buy her a watermelon."
Su Danian looked at Shao Ting'an, then at Zhao Xinran. They looked alike, but also not alike!
Both of them are quite frank!
"Slow down, don't ride so fast."
Zhao Xinran smiled and said, "Brother Ting'an wants to ice the watermelon with well water before Teacher Su gets home."
Su Danian nodded, "Don't spoil her too much, come back slowly."
"Dad, why don't you go back and eat watermelon with me?"
"I'm not going. I'm going back."
Watching Su Danian leave, Shao Ting'an was stunned for a long time and did not move.
That night, Shao Ting'an didn't come back very late. Su Li was half asleep and dreamed that her father was standing in front of her with a bloody head, grinning and saying, "Girl, take care of yourself!"
The dream was too real and Su Li woke up suddenly.
She sat on the bed for a moment, then realized it was a dream and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
At this time, Shao Tingan came back from outside.
"Why are you so late?"
Su Li took his bag and was about to hang it up when Shao Tingan hugged her from behind.
"I'm sorry, honey. I'm back late. There's a problem with the experiment, so..."
Su Li suppressed the nausea in her heart and gently pushed him away. "Then you should take care of yourself. Go to bed quickly. You still have to go to work tomorrow."
This man was so intent on cheating on her that he didn't even bother asking if she was pregnant.
Su Li attributed his enthusiasm tonight to the fact that he had done something wrong and blamed herself!
Shao Ting'an did have an apologetic look on his face, and his eyes, which looked like they could see a dog, stared deeply at Su Li.
"Wife, I haven't done well recently. I've been so focused on work that I've neglected you."
Su Li frowned, wondering if this was the aftereffect of an affair?
But her tone was extremely gentle, "It's okay, you're under a lot of pressure, I know, just take a rest."
Shao Ting'an raised his hand and touched her head. "Well, I'm going to take a shower. You go to sleep quickly."
Su Li went back to her room and lay down. In a daze, she heard Shao Tingan lying down on the balcony. She slept uneasily all night.
The next morning, Shao Ting'an bought some Wangji steamed buns and brought back two cups of soy milk.
Just as the two were about to eat, a hurried knock on the door broke the tranquility of the early morning.
"Xiao Li, open the door."
Hearing the voice of her sister-in-law Wen Yu, Su Li hurriedly opened the door.
"Sister-in-law, why are you here so early in the morning? Did something happen at home?"
Su Li felt uneasy all night, and when Wen Yu came early in the morning, something must have happened.
Wen Yu held Su Li's hand, her eyes slightly red, "Xiao Li, Dad... Dad is in trouble!"
Su Li's heart suddenly sank, and her voice was anxious, "What's wrong with Dad?"
Wen Yu choked up and said, "Last night, Dad was just about to go to bed when he heard someone calling him outside, so he went out. He didn't come back for an hour or so, so Mom asked your brother and I to go look for him. We found Dad lying by the river. He's still unconscious in the hospital."
Su Li’s eyes went dark and she almost fainted.
Shao Ting'an hurriedly supported the shaky Su Li and comforted her, "Su Li, sister-in-law, don't worry, let's go to the hospital quickly."
Su Li hurried back to her room to get the money and followed Wen Yu to the hospital.
"Honey, Dad will be fine, don't worry."
Shao Ting'an comforted her as they walked, but Su Li was so nervous that she didn't say a word.
Su Danian was lying on the hospital bed with a bandage on his head, his face pale and lifeless.
Su Li reached out her hand to touch her father's face with trembling hands. She inexplicably thought of the scene when her father gave her money on Saturday, and tears streamed down her face.
"How could this happen? How could this happen?" Su Li muttered to herself.
"Xiaoli, Dad can't bear to see you cry, be strong!" Su Mingde patted his sister's shoulder.
Shao Ting'an asked anxiously, "What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor said the injury is serious, with intracranial bleeding. He needs immediate surgery, otherwise his life will be in danger."
Su Li stood up hurriedly, tears hanging on her eyelashes, "Then hurry up and get the surgery, what are you waiting for?"
"The operation is very difficult. It's hard to say whether Dad will be able to get off the operating table."
Su Mingde sighed in frustration. "The doctor said that if Dr. Fu, the best surgeon in their hospital, performed the surgery, the chances of success might be much higher, but Dr. Fu has to go on a business trip today."
Hearing the words "Doctor Fu", Shao Ting'an looked at Su Li, "Is it Fu Jinzhou?"
They both knew that Fu Jinzhou was the chief surgeon here, and Shao Tingting had always had a good impression of him.
"Brother, this Doctor Fu is my high school classmate. I'm going to find him and ask him to perform surgery on Dad."
Shao Ting'an's expression was complicated. "Where are you going to find him? Do you know where he lives?"
As he was speaking, Fu Jinzhou appeared.
