Li Qiuxiang has been thinking about Qi Zhifang these past few days. Every time she sees Wang Dong, she's reminded of his lewd mother. It's like trying to make a worn-out shoe into a slipper—she can't bring herself to do it, and just thinking about it makes her feel nauseous.
I had just gotten home from get off work when I saw Director Wang from the neighborhood committee rushing to my door, calling out, "Wang Dong, Wang Dong..."
Upon hearing the commotion, Li Qiuxiang immediately suspected that Qi Zhifang's affair had been discovered. She quickly went outside and asked, "Director Wang, what's going on?"
Director Wang asked urgently, "Where are your Wang Dong and Wang Hong?"
Li Qiuxiang said, "Wang Hong didn't come back. Wang Dong went to my grandma's house to pick up my son."
"Hurry up! Your Wang Fang has been beaten to a critical condition by Zhao Yunxiang. She's in the Second Hospital, and they say she might not make it. Go to the hospital to see her!" Director Wang was furious.
Li Qiuxiang blinked, not knowing why, but she felt that those kinds of bitches were more resilient and definitely wouldn't die. She was inclined to ignore it, but then thought better of it, and with a quick thought, she said, "Okay, I'll go check it out."
She hurriedly headed to Grandma Li's house. As soon as she entered, she saw Wang Dong eating steamed buns. The chubby, dark-skinned man had steamed bun filling all over his face. She kicked Wang Dong and said, "Hurry up, your sister Wang Fang is going to die."
Wang Dong frowned. "If she wants to die, let her die somewhere far away. Don't talk to me about it."
Grandma Li looked at Li Qiuxiang disapprovingly, "Can't you speak properly?"
Li Qiuxiang rolled her eyes. "It was the hospital that notified me. I was beaten to a pulp by that guy surnamed Zhao. You need to go there now, or you might be able to see him."
Wang Dong put down the steamed bun and asked, "Where did you hear that?" "Director Wang from the neighborhood committee just came to tell us. Hurry up!"
Wang Dong hesitated and said, "Won't you be angry if I go to see her?"
Li Qiuxiang glared at him, "Death is the greatest thing, why get angry with a dead person? Hurry up, I'm going too!"
Only then did Wang Dong feel relieved enough to stuff the steamed bun into his mouth. He then rode his bicycle with Li Qiuxiang to the hospital. After waiting for a while in the emergency room, they finally saw Qi Zhifang slowly approaching, still dressed in her black cadre uniform, looking neat and tidy.
Wang Dong didn't even glance at her. She found a place to sit down, and about twenty minutes later, Xiao Hu arrived.
Tears welled in her eyes, and she choked out, "Why did you take so long to come! I was so scared..." Her tone and expression were so convincing; no one would believe she wasn't a stage actress playing an old artist. Her acting skills left Li Qiuxiang speechless. Then she looked at Xiao Hu, that wronged fool, and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Li Qiuxiang felt her eyes burning with rage. Even if you're not human, and your child is about to die, you still have the nerve to act like a slut in front of men. What kind of breed is this?
With a cold face, she spat and said, "Shameless!" Then she went to the nurses' station and asked, "Nurse, may I ask who brought her here?"
The nurse said, "They're their neighbors..."
Li Qiuxiang nodded, inwardly cursing Zhao Yunxiang and his family. They were truly despicable; this was a living, breathing human being, and they didn't even show their faces after being beaten like this.
After waiting for more than an hour, the doctor inside came out and said, "The patient suffered a head injury. If he can wake up within three days, there is still hope. If he doesn't wake up, things might not be good. You should go and pay the hospital fees."
Just as Xiao Hu was about to leave, Qi Zhifang stopped him and said, "She was injured by the Zhao family, so the Zhao family should compensate her. Over the years, how much money have we spent on her medical treatment?"
Li Qiuxiang chuckled. She was a mother too; calling her an animal was an insult to animals. Then she pulled Wang Dong aside and said, "Doctor, you wait here. Just focus on the treatment. Money is no problem. I'll find somewhere to get the money right away."
As she spoke, she pulled Wang Dong away. Wang Dong asked, "Shall we go home?"
"No, go to Zhao Yunxiang's parents' house." Upon hearing this, Wang Dong frowned. He couldn't forget the way he had been beaten, and said in a low voice, "Or maybe we should just hand him over to the police!"
Li Qiuxiang snorted coldly, "Listen to me, just go!" The two arrived at Zhao Yunxiang's house, and Li Qiuxiang shouted, "Zhao Yunxiang, you bastard and son of a bitch, get out here! I won't say anything about what happened before you hit Wang Fang, but now you've almost killed her, you've broken the law! Get ready to be shot!..."
"Get out here right now and pay your medical bills, then I might consider settling things privately. Otherwise, you can expect a life for a life!"
Hearing Li Qiuxiang's clamor outside, Zhao Yunxiang huddled in Zhang Aihua's arms, trembling with tears streaming down his face. He said, "Mom, Mom, I really didn't mean to. She just made me so angry, and I accidentally hit her too hard. What should I do? What should I do?"
Zhang Aihua said with a gloomy face, "It's alright, you just wait inside! I'll go check on things."
When Zhang Aihua came out, Li Qiuxiang slapped her twice without saying a word, then kicked her to the ground, cursing, "You old beast, are you keeping your son in the house to have your babies?! You motherfucker, you're ordering your son to beat your wife to death, what? You want her to move out of your way for you?"
Zhang Aihua spat at Li Qiuxiang, who quickly dodged. This angered Zhang Aihua, and before Zhang Aihua could even open her mouth, she slapped her twice. "You shameless bastard! I'm going to tear your mouth off..." she said, sitting on her and tearing at her mouth with one hand while slapping her with the other.
Wang Dong swallowed hard. Seeing that more and more people had gathered around him, he told them that it was because Zhao Yunxiang had almost beaten his sister to death. She was in the hospital and her life was in danger at any moment.
When Secretary Zhao returned, he saw the situation spiraling out of control and rushed forward to stop Li Qiuxiang, but Wang Dong blocked him, shouting, "Stop! What kind of behavior is this!"
Li Qiuxiang swept her hair back and said, "What kind of behavior is this? Don't you know what kind of thing you gave birth to? I didn't say anything when you beat someone up like that before, but now you've beaten someone to brain death and they're about to die, and you're talking to me about manners? That little brat of yours, I'll make sure he gets shot."
