Chapter 563 Let's Calculate the Interest
"I'll beat you to death, you unfilial son..."
Old Mrs. Zhao rushed over, hit her son, and then tried to hit her grandson. When her raised hand landed on Zhao Ronghui, she still controlled her strength and couldn't bear to really hit him.
Unfortunately, she couldn't bear to part with it, but Zhao Ronghui could.
"You old hag, how dare you hit me!"
Zhao Ronghui spat on Old Lady Zhao and slapped her across the face.
"Smack!"
The crisp sound of a slap followed by Old Lady Zhao's scream rang out one after the other.
Old Mrs. Zhao was slapped back a few steps and sat down on the ground with a thud. She was stunned and her face was full of disbelief. Her old face, which had not experienced much hardship, was instantly swollen with five finger marks, making the rest of her face look extremely white.
"You brat, how could you hit your grandma? She loves you so much..."
Unable to accept this scene, Zhao Jiancheng took a few quick steps and raised his hand to hit Zhao Ronghui. Zhao Ronghui grabbed his hand, saying, "What are you doing? Don't think that just because I spent your money, you can lay a hand on me. Get out of here..."
He tried to shake off Zhao Jiancheng, but when Zhao Jiancheng saw the finger marks on his mother's face, his eyes turned red, and he slapped Zhao Ronghui across the face with his other hand.
Zhao Ronghui was so angry that his face turned ashen, and he cursed, "You're asking for it!"
He raised his foot and kicked Zhao Jiancheng.
Zhao Jiancheng was one step ahead of him, pressing down on his leg and slapping Zhao Ronghui's face twice.
When Zhao Dacheng and Zhang Cuilan saw their son being beaten, they couldn't stand it anymore and stepped in to intervene, saying, "Second son, Ronghui is still a child. Why are you arguing with a child?"
"Zhao Jiancheng, you dare hit my son? I'll fight you to the death..."
Seeing the eldest son's family of three bullying her youngest son, Old Mrs. Zhao slapped her thigh and cried out, "Stop hitting him! Stop hitting him!"
Liu Mingcui watched the Zhao family members fighting amongst themselves, feeling both hatred and satisfaction.
But what followed was intense sadness. She had been married into the Zhao family for over twenty years, and only now did she see the true colors of this family!
It's pitiful that her two children grew up suffering.
Her Ah Yue almost died at their hands!
She wished she could tear these people to pieces to vent her hatred.
Li Banxia walked over and patted her arm.
Liu Mingcui turned her head, met her gaze, and her eyes welled up with tears. "Thank you, Banxia."
Li Banxia smiled and said, "Let's go. Yue is being transferred to a regular ward today. We'll go pick her up."
"……good."
Liu Mingcui took one last look at the Zhao family, took a deep breath, and turned to walk out of the courtroom with Li Banxia.
Behind him came the shouts and commands of the police, along with Zhao Jiancheng's heart-wrenching screams, and the police shouting, "Call 120 immediately! The genitals of prisoner Zhao Jiancheng have been crushed by another prisoner, Zhao Ronghui..."
Liu Mingcui paused, gritted her teeth, and cursed, "Karma!"
The two went outside, where Su Laosan had already hailed a taxi and was waiting for them. Upon seeing them, he smiled and opened the back door, saying to Liu Mingcui, "Aunt Liu, good news! The nurse said Zhao Yue can speak now."
Liu Mingcui's eyes lit up. "Really?"
"Really, she asked the nurse, 'Is my mom injured?'"
Liu Mingcui choked back a sob, suppressed her emotions, and smiled at Li Banxia, "This girl, even though she's injured like that, she's still worried about me..."
Although she was smiling, her eyes were filled with tears, and her voice was choked with sobs.
Li Banxia pressed down on her shoulder and pushed her into the car.
"Let's go to the hospital to see Yue."
After Su Laosan saw that the two had gotten into the car, he closed the back door, went to the front passenger seat, gave the driver the address, and asked him to take them there.
Outside the hospital's intensive care unit, a tall figure stood.
Hearing footsteps, the figure turned around.
Liu Mingcui's eyes welled up with tears again. "Son."
Zhao Tan looked pale and his eyes were dark and swollen, as if he had stayed up all night to get back.
"mom."
Zhao Tan's voice was hoarse as he coughed lightly, covering his throat, "I'm late, my sister..."
"Zhao Yue's family, come and sign the papers. Zhao Yue will be transferred to a regular ward later." The nurse came over and called to Liu Mingcui with a smile.
Liu Mingcui said "Okay," took the form, signed it, and asked the nurse, "How long will my daughter need to stay before she can be discharged?"
"It depends on her recovery. Her condition is complicated. Fortunately, she didn't become a vegetable, but her mental processing speed will definitely not be as good as before..."
The nurse glanced at the form she had signed, looked up at her, and smiled, saying, "...Have her recover her blood and energy, and observe her progress. There shouldn't be any major problems. Also, she injured her lumbar spine and won't be able to get out of bed for at least three months. She'll have to stay in bed and recover. We'll have her checked regularly, and we'll let you know once she meets the discharge criteria."
"Okay, thank you, nurse."
The nurse is right. Her son, Yue, is very lucky. Luckily, he didn't become a vegetable. With some care, he will definitely recover, and his back injury will definitely heal!
After the nurse left, Zhao Tan greeted Li Banxia and Su Laosan, "Aunt Li, Brother Su."
Su Laosan looked at him in surprise, "You still remember me?"
Zhao Tan twitched the corner of his mouth. "I remember, when I was little, Brother Su gave me fruit candies."
Su Laosan also smirked.
It's strange that someone as stingy as him would give fruit candy to other kids.
Seeing that Zhao Yue had been successfully transferred to a regular ward, Liu Mingcui sent Li Banxia and Su Laosan back home.
"You two should go back and rest. You've been running around with me these past few days without a moment's rest. Now that Zhao Tan is back, my daughter and I will take turns taking care of A Yue. You two go and do your own things."
Li Banxia glanced at Zhao Tan, whose complexion wasn't good, and frowned.
Su Laosan tugged at Li Banxia and said with a smile to Liu Mingcui, "Aunt Liu is right. Let's go back first and come see Zhao Yue again tomorrow. Remember to call me and my mom if you need anything."
Liu Mingcui said "Hey, hey" twice, indicating that she would see them off. Zhao Tan said, "Mom, I'll go. I haven't seen Brother Su for many years, and I want to talk to him a bit more."
Liu Mingcui smiled and let him go.
As the three of them left the hospital building, Zhao Tan bowed deeply to Li Banxia and Su Laosan.
"What are you doing?" Old Su grabbed him.
Zhao Tan smiled at him, "Brother Su, I went to the payment window as soon as I arrived to ask. My sister's surgery and hospitalization fees were all paid by you and Aunt Li. You contributed both money and effort... To be honest, all the money my mother has saved over the years has gone to support Zhao Ronghui. I just started working and haven't saved any money yet. My sister's dowry was also swindled away by my grandmother with sweet talk a few days ago. Our family may not be able to pay back this money in a short time, so I wrote an IOU..."
He reached into his pocket, but Su Laosan frowned and pressed his hand down.
"What are you talking about? What's the relationship between your mother and my mother? They've been best friends for twenty years. You only see us contributing money and effort now, but why didn't you see how good your mother was to my mother and us siblings earlier? Consider this money as interest from when Aunt Liu knitted gloves and made cotton vests for us siblings in the middle of the night back then."
Su Laosan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Besides, we don't really need that much money. Isn't the purpose of making money to help those around us in crucial moments?"
