Yi Minghui completed the discharge procedures for his nephew and returned the refunded medical expenses to his sister-in-law.
Dong Qing took out 10,000 yuan from his bag and handed it to Yi Xiaofan's mother, saying, "Auntie, the dead cannot be brought back to life. Don't be too sad. Take this money. I will send you enough living expenses every month so that your son can rest in peace."
With death, all grudges and debts are settled. Dong Qing can only do these things for Yi Xiaofan.
Yi Xiaofan's mother cried and said, "I have never blamed you for my son's death. You all did your best. Perhaps it was his fate, and also my fate as an old woman. It is my fate to bury my son. You have already done so much for my son. Take this money back."
Dong Qing said, "If you think highly of your nephew, then take the money!"
Yi Xiaofan's mother eventually accepted 10,000 yuan.
That afternoon, doctors at the hospital used an ambulance to take Yi Xiaofan's body back to her hometown for burial.
Just as Dong Qing said, such things cannot be kept secret. Su Wei found out about Yi Xiaofan's death that very night and cried bitterly on her bed. She believed that she was the one who drove Yi Xiaofan to his death.
If she had accepted Yi Xiaofan's apology last night, things would definitely not have turned out this way. She truly regrets treating him that way.
Regardless of his past character, Yi Xiaofan was, after all, a living, breathing person who knew how to repent. His death undoubtedly added to the pain and psychological burden of those who had been hurt by him. Su Wei really didn't know whether to hate him or pity him.
She hated herself even more for ever knowing Yi Xiaofan. If she hadn't met him three years ago, she wouldn't have had so many troubles. No one knows how many troubles will happen to them in their life.
When Chen Hong got home from get off work, he saw his wife lying in bed.
This afternoon, he heard at the factory that Yi Xiaofan had died. He was really worried that his wife couldn't handle such psychological pressure, so he rushed back home after get off work.
Normally, his wife would be cooking in the kitchen after get off work. Seeing his wife lying in bed, it was obvious that she already knew about Yi Xiaofan's death.
Chen Hong said, "The person is already dead, so don't be too sad."
With tears in her eyes, Su Wei said, "He deserved to die, he deserved to die. Why did he torture people like that? I really hate him for being spineless. Forgiveness obtained through death is cowardly. His death makes me despise him even more. He was so selfish, so selfish that he didn't care about other people's feelings. Did he think about his elderly mother before he died? I really despise people like him. He's just a coward."
Her words were perhaps a way of venting her emotions; she felt better only after venting.
Chen Hong pulled his wife out of bed and hugged her, saying, "It's all over now, don't be too sad."
Su Wei said, "He's not worth my sadness. I hate him for tormenting people like this."
After leaving the hospital in the afternoon, Su Guifang returned to her rented room in a daze. She took out her key, opened the door, went inside, closed the door, and lay on the bed crying.
She has had a hard life these past few years. Her husband died of illness not long after she got married, and no matter how well she behaved in her husband's family, the villagers still talked about her as a slut.
She also knew why her reputation was so bad; since ancient times, beautiful women have been considered a source of trouble, and a woman who is too beautiful is also a disaster.
After her husband died, many men tried to take advantage of her and frequently came to her house. She had argued with them and chased them away.
However, it's not a good thing for a man to frequently come home. A widow's doorstep is always a source of gossip. What does "gossip" mean? It means that even when there's nothing wrong, something will happen.
In this day and age, there's a shortage of everything, but there's no shortage of gossipy women who can make up stories for you even when there's nothing else to do.
Whenever a man is seen leaving a widow's house, people say that the widow is hiring someone.
As the saying goes, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles, especially news about women's conduct spreads very quickly.
They would carry fewer things, but deliver more messages. For example, if Zhang told Li that a man had come out of Widow Su's house, Li would tell Wang that Widow Su was looking for a man at home.
No matter how upright a woman is in her conduct, too much gossip can drown her, so Su Guifang later became known as a "loose woman" in the village.
Often, these kinds of things can turn out to be true, and you can't wash them off no matter how hard you try.
Whether the affair is true or false, the more people talk about it, the more likely it is to become true. Regardless of what others say, Li Yuzhu didn't consider him a good woman back then. If you hear it too much, anyone will believe it. The negative impact can also destroy a woman's purity.
After Dongqing Bean Products Factory opened, Su Guifang came to the city to work with her sister-in-law from her hometown village. She never dared to let anyone in the factory know that she was a widow, saying that her husband was working on a construction team in another city. For the past two years, she had lived a relatively peaceful life.
There aren't many male workers in the bean product factory; most are female. The men in the factory all have families, so it's difficult for her to find a romantic relationship there.
Her mother had asked people to introduce her to a few men, but they stopped talking as soon as they heard she was a widow. Of course, this also affected her reputation in her husband's family.
She's 27 years old this year, and her daughter is already eight. She doesn't even believe herself that she's not in a hurry to get married.
But for a woman like her, it's really hard to find a man who can truly live a life with her; she doesn't want a man who's too bad either.
Her in-laws have several sons, and now they have a house full of children and grandchildren, so there's simply no room for her daughter. To put it bluntly, they don't want this granddaughter anymore. After she started working, her daughter lived with her parents.
She met Yi Xiaofan three months ago, and Yi Xiaofan liked her very much. She felt that she had finally found her life partner.
However, Yi Xiaofan came and went in a hurry, as if she were a passerby in her life. She lay on the bed and cried to herself, "Why is my life so bitter?"
She didn't know how long she had been lying in bed, nor when it got dark; the room was completely dark.
I only ate a few skewers of meat last night. I've been too upset since Yi Xiaofan's accident and haven't eaten anything.
More than an hour had passed, and by this time they were starving.
Logically speaking, she and Yi Xiaofan hadn't known each other for long, so they shouldn't have had particularly deep feelings for each other. It wasn't entirely because she was heartbroken by his departure, but mainly because she was heartbroken about her own fate.
She tends to think about whatever illness she has. Is she really destined to bring bad luck to her husband? Her husband has been dead for several years and she hasn't had a boyfriend since. She just started dating someone and he left her quietly. Is she really destined to bring bad luck to her husband? Did she kill him? No one can give her a correct answer on this matter.
People need food to survive; if you miss a meal, you'll get hungry. She hadn't eaten for 24 hours, and her stomach was growling with hunger.
She couldn't just starve to death at home, so she got up, washed her face, went to the coal stove, and started cooking. She took the pot off the stove to check, but the fire had gone out sometime earlier.
She wasn't in the mood to start a fire and cook, so she simply changed into a dress, locked the door, and went out to eat on the street.
