Chapter 70 Seven Thousand Five and One Hundred Yuan
After Zhou Meng fainted, the factory sent him to the hospital in a timely manner.
If Zhou Meng had been treated properly in the hospital, he would not have died.
But Wang Jianchang took the still unconscious person away in the name of transferring him to another hospital.
Because he is her husband, he has the right.
She was taken on a cart to Houmiao Village, a place she didn't want to go when she was awake.
In the following days, the father and son locked the mother and daughter together and kept them under strict surveillance.
Zhou Shengjun stayed with his mother, crying as he watched her breathe her last bit by bit.
Song Rui couldn't imagine how Zhou Meng spent the last few days of his life in that secluded and closed little house in the countryside.
There was no medical treatment, no water or rice. Every time he opened his eyes from coma, he only saw his daughter's frightened and grief-stricken face.
He closed his eyes in pain and regret.
After her death, she will be buried next to Wang Jianchang's ancestral tomb, and remain forever on the land that she has rejected countless times.
As a woman and a mother, Song Rui could feel the despair.
But in the interrogation room, Wang Jianchang was still quibbling.
"I just thought she was hopeless, and she took her back home."
He still had a drooping brow, like an honest man who would not fight back even if beaten or scolded.
He defended himself as if he were truly innocent.
"She is my wife. I just want her to die in her hometown. It's nothing."
When he knew that his act of secretly taking a patient who needed emergency treatment away from the hospital and causing the patient's death was also a crime of intentional homicide.
Wang Jianchang finally got scared. With a roll of his eyes, he blamed everything on his father.
"It was my father who told me to do this. My father said that my wife would not survive in that condition, so he told me to bring her back. I don't know. I, I don't know anything. Even if it was illegal, it was him who broke the law!"
In the interrogation room on the other side, Old Man Wang was taking the blame on himself.
He is old and can no longer have children, so he was arrested.
But his son can still have children.
His son cannot be arrested because he has to carry on the Wang family's bloodline.
Their original plan was to sell the house and return to the village so that they could marry a wife and have a boy named Wang.
As an old man, just let him be arrested. It won’t cause any trouble.
I have to say that the father and son have a great understanding of each other on this matter.
If Old Man Wang took all the blame, then Wang Jianchang would at most be charged with manslaughter.
Even if sentenced, the sentence will be very short.
But they overlooked another party.
Although Zhou Shengjun is only eight years old, she is stronger than anyone imagines.
"My father knew everything. He just wanted to kill my mother so that he could get the money and marry another one. I overheard them talking. I also heard that they wanted to kill me too."
"If we hadn't died together, people would have become suspicious and I would have been dead by now. They were afraid that people would notice something was wrong, so they brought me back. They were afraid that I would tell others about it, so they locked me up at home and beat me."
"They said that I had grown up and remembered things, including my mother's death, and they couldn't let me go. They would find a chance to kill me after they got the money back to the village. My grandfather said he would take me into the mountains in winter, where I would freeze to death in one night."
"But my father said that would be too painful. I am his daughter and he couldn't bear it. It would be better to throw me into the river and let me die more quickly."
Shengjun's words sent chills down the spines of those present.
She calmly held Song Rui's hand and continued, "Aunt, the first time you came to my house to look at houses, I was actually locked in the closet in Grandpa's room. It was because I told Grandpa that the house upstairs was sold for 12,000 yuan that he became greedy and temporarily raised the price."
Song Rui suddenly realized that she had previously thought that the father and son had discussed this beforehand.
It was just greed.
If there hadn't been a price increase that day, she might have already bought the house.
The Wang family father and son also took Shengjun back to the countryside.
She patted Shengjun's hand in fear and said, "Good boy, your mother taught you very well and gave you a good name, too."
"My mother said that although I am a girl, I am no worse than any boy, but my mother...is gone."
Only when he mentions his mother does Zhou Shengjun really act like a child.
Song Rui held her in her arms, and she finally cried out loud as if she was hiding in her mother's arms.
Officer Ye also took Song Rui's statement.
With her and Shengjun's testimony, neither Wang Jianchang nor his son can escape.
But Xiaosheng-kun has no immediate family members.
Zhou Shengjun has a cousin who also lives in this city.
She rushed over after receiving the news, grabbed Zhou Shengjun and started crying.
"Oh, poor child, I'm late. I didn't expect your father to be such a beast! He..."
The cousin wanted to say something, but Shengjun pushed her hand away and walked back behind Song Rui.
When the aunt saw this, she stopped crying and came over to grab the child.
"Hey, who are you? Stay away from my niece, you..."
Ling Ye was in a bad mood. He stood up with a gloomy face and stood in front of Song Rui.
My cousin unconsciously took two steps back, and was so anxious that she just stared blankly and didn't dare to come up to grab it.
Song Rui took Shengjun aside, squatted down and asked: "What's wrong? Don't you like your aunt?"
Shengjun nodded, "After my mother passed away, she came to my house and saw the injuries on my body. I told her that my father beat me, but she told me to listen to my father."
Song Rui was stunned and had a general understanding of that cousin.
Before, it was better to have less trouble than more, but now that it seems profitable, I call her niece affectionately.
Such people are very common, but they are indeed looked down upon.
"It's just that you are not yet an adult and you have no immediate family members. According to the law, if you don't stay with your aunt, you will be sent to an orphanage."
Even if Song Rui wanted to take care of her, the law would not allow it since they had no relatives or friends.
At present, there are only these two options before Shengjun.
Shengjun lowered his head and said nothing. After a while, he pulled Song Rui's hand and said, "Auntie, I'll still sell my mother's house to you. Seven thousand five hundred yuan, is that okay? Mom said that good people should not be left to suffer. I, I don't want to give the house to my aunt either."
Every time Song Rui saw her talking with a stern face like a little adult, she felt sour and bitter in her heart.
She touched Shengjun's soft hair, thought for a while and said, "How about this, the house is rented by Auntie. Every month, Auntie will go to your cousin's house to give you the rent. If your cousin is good to you, you can give her some. If she is not good to you, you can keep it for yourself. For this money, your cousin can't treat you too badly. When you grow up, Auntie will return the house to you."
Song Rui loves money, but not to the point of having no limits.
She knew that if she bought a house today, Zhou Shengjun would not blame her even if its value increased tenfold in the future.
But she couldn't get over that hurdle.
Song Rui insisted on renting instead of buying, and Xiao Shengjun had no choice.
Finally, we agreed on a rent of 100 yuan per month.
Zhou Shengjun didn't know that the rent in this area would get higher every year, and in twenty years, the rent could reach 30,000 yuan a month.
Song Rui also didn't know that no matter how much the rent would rise in the future, Zhou Shengjun would only charge one hundred yuan a month.
