Qiao Haixing walked home dejectedly. He hadn't been able to borrow any money today, which meant he was out of a job. Lately, one bad thing after another had happened. His superiors had sent someone to replace him, putting him in charge of the warehouse.
To put it bluntly, it's like discarding a donkey after it has served its purpose. They'll fire him after he's worked in the warehouse for a year or two; he's done this kind of thing before.
I never imagined it would happen to me.
"Stop right there!" Xiao Deshun emerged from a side path. He had paid to inquire and finally obtained the exact address, so he had been staking out the place during the day. He had finally managed to catch the person returning.
Qiao Haixing was startled and took several steps back until he was against the wall: "I have no money right now, so don't force me anymore. If you keep pushing me, I'll kill myself, and then you won't get a single penny. What will you do then?"
“It’s only right to pay back debts. You still owe us 110 yuan. I’ll stop bothering you when you pay it back.” Xiao Deshun looked at him, noticing his stubble and dusty clothes, and figured he must not have been doing so well these days.
As someone who has been through it all, he knows that sometimes when people are broke, they really are broke.
Qiao Haixing shook his head: "Brother, I really don't have any money. You can search it up if you don't believe me."
I don't have a single penny on me. I haven't been to work for a while, and the factory hasn't paid me my wages yet.
I'll pay you back as soon as I get paid.
Xiao Deshun searched him from head to toe but found not a single penny on him; his pockets were truly emptier than his face. Enraged, he raised his hand and slapped him twice.
"I'll make sure you have no money, I'll make sure you have no money!"
Qiao Haixing lost a tooth, and blood started flowing from his mouth.
Still not satisfied, Xiao Deshun kicked him in the stomach several more times:
"I'll let you off this time, but if you're broke again next time, it won't just be a beating. It's not that simple."
I know you have a wife and kids. Believe me or not, I'll kidnap your wife and daughter and sell them!
"No! I'll definitely pay you back when I have the money. Please give me a few more days, I beg you." Qiao Haixing knelt down and begged for mercy.
Xiao Deshun, bored with the game, spat on the ground and turned to leave. Feeling unlucky, but still had some money in his pocket, he decided to find a place to gamble again, hoping to win it back, who knows?
Qiao Haixing leaned against the wall and struggled to his feet, staggering home. He had paid for all of Song Min's medical expenses out of pocket, effectively emptying the family's savings. He had initially harbored resentment, believing his daughter was the cause of the current situation.
Later, he was caught red-handed for stealing, and now he can only swallow his anger and suffer in silence.
Hospital.
Song Min lifted the blanket and looked at his genitals; there was no reaction at all. He would be discharged from the hospital tomorrow morning.
In other words, that place may really be abandoned.
The thought that he would no longer be a man and would never be able to do pleasurable things again made him want to strangle Qiao Lingling.
"Son, why aren't you asleep yet?" Liu Zhaodi woke up from the other bed.
There weren't many patients in the hospital, and they brazenly occupied the bed next to theirs. Even when people came to urge them, it was no use; they just stayed there, and the entire ward was taken over by them.
"Mom, did you find out the information I asked you to? Is there any traditional Chinese medicine that can cure my illness? I don't want to become a useless person."
"I did find out that the old Chinese medicine doctor who treated your leg before has some knowledge in this area."
"They say it can cure it, but I don't know what the effect will be," Liu Zhaodi mumbled incoherently.
