Chapter 582: Everyone Flees When Disaster Strikes (Additional Update)
When Zhuang Ganmei told this to her mother, she was furious and called them ungrateful.
Pan Yuexiang sat aside and listened quietly.
Zhuang's mother felt sorry for her son, so she asked Zhuang Ganmei to go home and rest, since Pan Yuexiang was taking care of him there.
After Zhuang Ganmei left, Zhuang's mother called out:
"Yuexiang!"
Pan Yuexiang did not respond.
"Yuexiang, what are you doing standing there? I want to go to the bathroom!" Zhuang's mother rolled her eyes at Pan Yuexiang.
Pan Yuexiang smiled and glanced at the clock on the wall and replied:
"I just collected your urine fifteen minutes ago, and you didn't drink any water in the middle, so you didn't pee. Wait another half an hour before you can talk to me."
"You! I'll tell Gan Mei to go!" Zhuang's mother became even angrier.
"Go ahead! If you dare to say that I will leave immediately, then your good son will have to come and serve you. See how you feel sorry for him! Do you think he can serve you well?" Pan Yuexiang didn't buy her trick.
Mother Zhuang gritted her teeth.
"You'd better behave yourself. I can still take care of you. If you insist on doing this, just try and see what the consequences are." Pan Yuexiang took out a cloth bag, took out wool and needles from it, and started knitting a sweater.
Don't collect her urine before the appointed time.
At night, Zhuang's mother wanted to spit and defecate, but Pan Yuexiang was sleeping soundly and ignored her.
If she shouted again, she would wake up the people in the same ward. Pan Yuexiang left the ward directly and slept in the corridor.
Zhuang's mother continued to shout, and the people in the same ward started to scold her, so she could only shut up and stop talking.
The next day, after the others had gone to check, Pan Yuexiang said to her:
"Just keep barking. Even if you bark at me a hundred times, I will definitely ignore you at night. If you have the guts, howl all night long."
The next night, Zhuang's mother stopped calling out. It was useless to call out. But she didn't dare to tell her son because he would suffer if this woman ran away.
On the third night, she couldn't hold it any longer, but she didn't dare to scream. However, she couldn't fall asleep because of holding her urine, so she wanted to turn over and almost died from the pain.
And for three days, her beloved son seemed to have disappeared and had not appeared.
Zhuang's mother was in great pain. She begged Pan Yuexiang, "Yuexiang, please go and call Ganmei for me! I miss him so much."
"Okay!" Pan Yuexiang agreed readily.
When she returned home, Zhuang Ganmei was lying dead at home.
"Why are you back?" Zhuang Ganmei asked when she saw her come back.
"You are such a piece of shit. Your mother is lying in the hospital, and not only do you not take care of her, but you don't even go to see her. Are you still a human being?" Pan Yuexiang scolded.
"What's the use of me going? It's enough to have you there!"
"Hmph, your mother asked you to go! She said she missed you. It's just right that you can take my place for a day so I can take a break. Also, starting tomorrow, you will be in charge during the day and I will be in charge at night. I have to go to work, otherwise we will all starve to death!" Pan Yuexiang rolled her eyes at her.
Although Zhuang Ganmei knew that Pan Yuexiang could earn money and the family would not starve, he gave up when he thought about serving others. He said:
"Wait until Mom can go home before you go back to work! You still have Mom's salary now! Tell her I'll go see her tomorrow during the day."
After saying that, Zhuang Ganmei covered herself with the quilt and said nothing more.
Pan Yuexiang looked at the man and shook her head.
She began to pack her things, and Zhuang Ganmei stuck her head out to take a look.
"What are you looking at! I'm smelly because I haven't taken a shower for a few days. I'll take some clothes and go to the hospital's bathhouse to take a shower! I also have to help my mother pack some more things." Pan Yuexiang gave Zhuang Ganmei a look.
Zhuang Ganmei thought about it and put his head back into the quilt.
Pan Yuexiang was about to go out, but unexpectedly, someone kicked the door open.
"Zhuang Ganmei!"
The two of them panicked, and the debt collector finally arrived.
The leader glanced around the room and said, "We were sent by Boss Qiao. You know, the price will be different after a day. Tomorrow is the last day, so get your money ready."
"Big brother, could you please tell Boss Qiao that I'm a little short on cash..."
"Sure! No problem," the man said, looking Zhuang Ganmei up and down. "Pick a place on your body."
Zhuang Ganmei was terrified and said hurriedly, "I'll pay it back tomorrow."
Because the time had not yet come, those people left.
Zhuang Ganmei looked at Pan Yuexiang and said, "Go to the hospital quickly! There's no one to take care of Mom. I'll go get some money."
Pan Yuexiang nodded, picked up her bag and left, but she did not go to the hospital. Instead, she took the bus.
Suzhou is not a small city, and she also knows Zhuang Ganmei, so she just needs to avoid the places he often goes to.
Now, she has a Suzhou household registration and can find a job with provided food and accommodation, even if the salary is low. She can start all over again. At least she is a Suzhou citizen.
Not long after she left, Zhuang Ganmei also packed his luggage. He took out the fifty yuan that Zhuang's mother had hidden in her pillow and left.
In the alley, Qiao Hetai bit his cigarette and listened to his subordinates report:
"Brother Tai, he's running away. Do you want to stop him?"
"No need. There's no money to stop him. He can even abandon his mother. How can you expect him to have the ability to earn money to pay me back?" Qiao Hetai sneered.
The men nodded.
The next day, Qiao and Tai went to the hospital. The old woman was covered in feces and urine, and the nurse was helping her change her clothes.
He was not kind-hearted, and covered his nose and told Zhuang's mother:
"Your son and his wife have already run away. I have to pay you back. Bring me your salary book! Otherwise, I'll report your son to the police and have him jailed. I'll also report him for deceiving me by using a fake guarantor."
He didn't expect it! When Zhuang's mother heard that her son had run away, she actually breathed a sigh of relief.
She also knew that she was the guarantor, so she said at the time that if her son could not pay it back, she would give her salary to the other party to receive the money every month.
But at that time she thought that if such a day really came, she would have a way out.
She had gone to Zhuang Chaoying and Zhuang Hualin, hoping to stop the trouble and just give the stutterer a place to sleep, but now it seemed that this was no longer feasible. She didn't know where her son or daughter had gone, and she couldn't move.
She was left in the hospital for a few days. The hospital could not contact her family, so it had to contact the factory.
The factory was overwhelmed when they heard it was her.
Someone from the factory's trade union came to talk to Boss Qiao, hoping he would wait a few days until they found Zhuang Ganmei. However, Boss Qiao said that paying back debts was a matter of course, and that either he would receive his monthly salary, or the factory would pay it off for her first.
The factory didn't dare to pay her back, and who knew how long she could live, so she finally had no choice but to agree to Boss Qiao to collect her salary until the debt was paid off.
As for Zhuang's mother who was lying in the hospital, the neighborhood committee and the factory negotiated and hired a nurse to help take care of her until she was discharged from the hospital.
The nurse was extremely fierce. He either beat or scolded Zhuang's mother and never gave her a good look.
Zhuang's mother suffered a lot before she was able to get out of bed.
Only then did she remember how dedicated Zhuang Chaoying was when he came to take care of her paralyzed father and her.
After being discharged from the hospital, Zhuang's mother returned to the small house rented by Pan Yuexiang. Fortunately, they gave her a year's rent, so she didn't have to live on the streets for at least a year.
And she can't die. If she dies, those debt collectors will not get the money and will still go after her son.
She knew that they had their own abilities and could find her son.
Zhuang's mother then dragged her injured body to find something to eat. In the end, she became a person who rummaged through trash cans with a hunched back and a torn and dirty snakeskin bag on her back.
The kind of person she would have sneered at before.
"Don't these people have children? Why do they pick up trash?" she once asked Zhuang's father.
She never thought that one day she would become such a person.
