Su Jianguo squinted, recalling his mean-spirited second daughter-in-law from his previous life.
It seems that she is definitely involved in this matter.
The group rushed Su Mingde to the hospital, where they immediately began emergency treatment.
The hospital corridor reeked of disinfectant, and the stark white light shone on Su Jianguo's ashen face.
He stood at the door of the operating room, his fingers unconsciously tapping the armrest of the bench, each tap feeling like a blow to his own heart.
"dad!"
Su Yuzhen's shrill voice came from the end of the corridor.
Su Jianguo looked up and saw his youngest daughter rushing over with his eldest son Su Mingqiang and his third son Su Mingfu.
At this time, although the three brothers were not on good terms at home, they would still stand together when it came to external matters.
How is the second child?
Su Mingqiang asked, panting heavily, his face contorted with anger.
"Which bastard did this? I'll kill him!"
Su Jianguo gave his eldest son a cold look.
"What kind of behavior is this, so careless and flustered! Let's wait for the doctor to come out first."
Su Mingfu's voice trembled slightly.
"Dad, should I go and call a few classmates? Some of my classmates practice Sanda (Chinese kickboxing)..."
"Shut up, all of you!"
Su Jianguo gave a low shout, and the three children immediately fell silent.
He pointed to the bench.
"Sit down and wait."
The corridor fell silent for a moment, with only the red light on the operating room door burning silently.
Su Jianguo took out his cigarette case, lit one, and the passing nurses didn't even glance at him.
Wang Xiulan sat at the other end of the bench, clutching a handkerchief in her hand, her eyes red and swollen from crying.
Su Yuzhen sat down next to her mother and gently patted her back.
"Mom, Second Brother will be alright."
Su Yuzhen offered a soft word of comfort, but her voice lacked conviction.
Su Jianguo stared at the operating room door, his thoughts drifting back to his past life.
He remembered that his second son did not have a good life after getting married in his previous life. His wife, Liu Meijuan, relied on her father being the director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau to act arrogantly and domineeringly at home.
The second son, in his eagerness to curry favor with his father-in-law, didn't even come home to visit his own sick father. But now...
"Su Mingde's family!"
The operating room door suddenly opened, and a doctor wearing a mask walked out.
Su Jianguo suddenly stood up and strode over to the doctor.
"I'm his father, how is my son?"
The doctor took off his mask, revealing a tired face.
"The patient has two broken ribs, a fractured nose, and a mild concussion. Treatment has been administered, and there is no immediate danger to their life."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiulan's legs went weak and she almost knelt on the ground, but Su Yuzhen caught her in time.
When will he wake up?
Su Jianguo asked in a deep voice.
"The anesthesia has worn off and she's awake, but..."
The doctor hesitated for a moment.
"The patient's emotions may be unstable; you should be mentally prepared."
Su Jianguo nodded, took out a few crumpled banknotes from his pocket, and stuffed them into the doctor's hand.
"Thank you, doctor. This is just a small token of my appreciation."
The doctor quickly waved his hand.
"No, no, this is what we should do."
As they were being pushed around, a nurse brought the hospital bed out of the operating room.
Su Mingde lay on the bed, his face deathly pale, his nose covered with thick gauze, and his chest wrapped in bandages, looking like a broken rag doll.
"Virtue!"
Wang Xiulan rushed to the bedside, tears welling up in her eyes again.
"Mom...I'm fine..."
Su Mingde weakly opened his eyes, his voice barely audible.
Su Jianguo stood at the foot of the bed. He noticed that although Su Mingde's eyes were open, they were unfocused, as if he were looking through them at someone else.
"Meijuan...Meijuan..."
Su Mingde suddenly muttered to himself, his chapped lips trembling.
"Why...did you lie to me..."
Su Jianguo's eyes suddenly sharpened.
He strode to the bedside and grabbed his son's wrist.
"Second brother, explain yourself clearly, who hit you? Was it that Liu Meijuan?"
Su Mingde's eyes were unfocused, as if he hadn't heard his father's question, and he just kept repeating it.
"The bride price...two thousand yuan...Juan'er...Juan'er."
Upon hearing this, Su Mingqiang slapped his thigh.
"Damn! I knew that woman was no good!"
He turned and was about to rush out.
"I'm going to find her and settle the score right now!"
"stop!"
Su Jianguo roared.
"You don't even know where they are, how are you going to look for them?"
Su Mingqiang stopped in his tracks, unwilling to give up, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
"Dad, are we just going to let this go? Our second son is beaten like this!"
Su Jianguo ignored his eldest son and leaned closer to Su Mingde.
"Second son, tell your father, who hit you? Was it Liu Meijuan's lover?"
Su Mingde's eyelids trembled, as if he had to use all his strength to squeeze out a few words.
"Textile factory... Wang... the deputy factory director's son..."
"good!"
Su Jianguo straightened up, a ruthless glint in his eyes.
Su Jianguo didn't send his eldest and third sons to look for help. He was still the head of the Su family, and this was a matter for him to handle.
In the hospital corridor, Su Jianguo stood at the door of the ward, the cigarette between his fingers already burned down to the filter, but he was completely unaware.
