Faced with the kindness of strangers, Song Xia couldn't help but tear up. If even complete strangers would comfort and help her, what reason was there not to treat herself well?
After they finished eating, the front desk staff gave them two coupons, and the waiter was very hospitable in seeing the mother and daughter out.
It was already past midnight when Song Xia returned to her rented room. Jiang Chuande still hadn't come back, so she ignored him and simply locked the door, not caring whether he could come in tonight.
Jiang Hui called early in the morning, rattling off a long list of things he wanted to eat. She listened in silence, then took her daughter out for breakfast.
"Isn't Mom setting up her stall today?"
"No, Mom wants to find a more stable job."
Because it was the weekend, there weren't many people on the streets, and the barbecue restaurants wouldn't be open at this time. So after the mother and daughter finished breakfast, Song Xia took Wenwen to the amusement park.
Wenwen looked at the amusement park rides with curiosity and excitement, but couldn't help asking with concern, "Mom, will they be very expensive?"
The more sensible a child is, the more she considers others. She is still so young, yet she has already started worrying about the family's finances. This must be related to the fact that Jiang Hui and Jiang Chuande usually force her to ask for money.
Song Xia squatted down to be at eye level with her: "Wenwen, Mommy will no longer give Daddy and Grandpa money, so the money Mommy earns is enough to support us."
Wenwen frowned: "But what if Dad hits Mom?"
Song Xia clenched her fist and smiled: "Have you forgotten how powerful Mom is now? Dad won't be able to beat Mom anymore."
"Okay!" Wenwen nodded happily upon hearing this, and pulled Song Xia to join the queue. "Mom, I want to ride the carousel."
"Walk."
Song Xia's phone was off again, so when Jiang Hui called repeatedly and only heard a few mechanical customer service voices, he was so angry that his lips trembled: "Discharged! I want to be discharged!"
"What's all the noise about?" the nurse scolded, frowning. "You're not the only patient in this hospital. Can't you be quiet?"
"You dare to lecture me, you lousy nurse?" He was used to being arrogant and had beaten Song Xia at home before, so he subconsciously clenched his fists.
The nurse's face paled, and she shouted, "What, are you trying to cause trouble for the medical staff?"
The term "medical disturbance" is all too common in hospitals these days, and it's not uncommon for people to die as a result. So when they heard her cries, the doctors and nurses who were making their rounds in the next room rushed over immediately and glared angrily at Jiang Hui.
"Sir, please calm down. There are surveillance cameras in every ward. If you have done anything, you will not escape the punishment of the law."
"I..." Jiang Hui felt extremely aggrieved, but he didn't dare to make a scene at this moment.
He arrogantly and unreasonably made excuses for his behavior: "Don't try to scare me. I didn't do anything. It's clearly your hospital that's ripping me off. I'm perfectly fine, but you insist on putting me in the hospital."
He kept using the vulgar term "Laozi" (a derogatory term for someone of high status), which left a very bad impression on everyone. A patient's family member nearby tried to explain, "You injured your head. The doctors only admitted you for observation because they were worried something might happen to you. How can you be so unreasonable?"
"What's it to you?" Jiang Hui's dark face was quite intimidating.
The doctor took a deep breath: "Mr. Jiang, since you insist on being discharged, we cannot stop you. Please settle the relevant fees, sign the papers, and then you can leave."
Jiang Hui was also afraid of death, so he stubbornly said, "I said I wanted to leave, so you let me leave? What if something happens to me after I go back?"
"Hey, what's wrong with you? The doctor told you to stay in the hospital for observation and you said it was a rip-off. When they told you to pay the bill and go home, you said they were irresponsible. There's no way you can be so unreasonable."
Most patients and their families are quite understanding of doctors and nurses, so they are willing to speak up for them. Besides, isn't the presence of someone like him, who is being unreasonable, delaying the treatment of other patients?
"So what if I'm unreasonable?"
Those around him looked at him with disgust: "Why is this person like this?"
"No wonder no one came to visit him when he was hospitalized; he must have offended all his relatives and friends."
"Let's go back, lest this man get angry and implicate us."
Jiang Hui usually used Song Xia's money to get by in the underworld. Because he was generous, he was always fawned over. He had never encountered a situation like today where he was slandered by so many people, and he immediately became furious.
Seeing his veins bulging, the doctor picked up his phone and said, "Mr. Jiang, if you keep causing trouble, we'll call security and the police! Think carefully, causing trouble in a hospital is no small matter."
"Are you kidding me? If this gets out of hand, your hospital will be the one to pay out."
The nurse pointed to the surveillance camera: "Everything you did and said has been recorded. Whether it was right or wrong, the judge will decide."
"You guys..." Jiang Hui was still somewhat intimidated by their forceful attitude, after all, he was usually just a coward who only dared to beat his wife.
Finally, under the "escort" of the hospital security guards, Jiang Hui sheepishly paid the bill and completed the discharge procedures. When he got home, he didn't see Song Xia again, and he was furious, smashing things wildly.
After smashing it, he sat there waiting for Song Xia to come back so he could teach her a lesson.
Meanwhile, after Song Xia took her daughter Wenwen to the amusement park for a day, the mother and daughter had another big meal, and Wenwen was satisfied and went home with a full belly.
"Mom, I'm so happy today!" she said, spinning around with her arms outstretched.
"How about Mom takes you out to play like this more often in the future?"
"good!"
"Is your stomach upset? You ate so much, are you full?"
"No, but I still think Mom's cooking is the best."
Song Xia tapped her nose: "You're so sweet-talking. Let's go, we have school tomorrow, let's go home early."
However, when the mother and daughter arrived home, they were met by Jiang Hui, who had a gloomy face, and Jiang Chuande, who was drunk.
Wenwen flinched, gripping Song Xia's hand tightly, her face showing fear and apprehension.
Song Xia remained calm, took her hand, and led her back to her room: "It's alright, Mom will finish taking care of it soon."
"Mother……"
"Trust Mom this once, okay?"
"You bitch, you still know how to come back." Jiang Hui started with insults, clenching his fist and swinging it at the person.
Song Xia turned her head away, staring coldly at him: "What, have you forgotten how you got the injury on your head?"
"You dare mention it again? I'll beat you to death today."
The drunk Jiang Chuande continued to fan the flames: "Yes, if the son hits her, the wife has to hit him too. She can't be ignored if she's not hit. She won't listen if she's not hit."
"You still dare not answer my calls and starve me? I'll beat you to death!" With the unpleasantness of the past two days combined, Jiang Hui's anger towards Song Xia was more intense than ever before.
The neighbors were eavesdropping again. The police had just come yesterday, and Jiang Hui had already committed the same offense again today. Was Song Xia really that dependent on men? Why wasn't she getting a divorce?
Just as I was about to sigh and feel sorry for him, what I heard next was a man's scream.
