"Yes, and my second brother. I'll call him now."
Chu Linghua called Chu Yaozu, but Chu Yaozu didn't answer quickly.
The phone was almost finished ringing when he picked it up, his tone full of impatience: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong? I just had surgery and I'm very tired."
"Second brother, eldest brother has been arrested. Mom and I are so worried now." Chu Linghua said in a crying voice.
Chu Yaozu grew increasingly irritated. "He committed a crime, and he deserves to be arrested. He's even capable of trafficking his own daughter. What do you want me to do? And you guys, be quiet for a while, go back to your hometown and avoid the limelight. Don't you see how awful the rumors are lately?"
Chu Linghua was speechless for a moment, and Zhang Fengying took over the conversation: "Yaozu, your eldest brother's company is still there. If you sell it, you can make a lot of money. Get your eldest brother out first, and the rest of the money will be yours. Things have come to this point, you can't just ignore your eldest brother! Now, you are the only hope of the Chu family."
Chu Yaozu took a long while to reply, "Selling a company is no small matter. It's mainly about transferring shares. Big brother, you can transfer the shares to me, and I'll run the company. You can't just sell off your hard work, right?"
"I will find the best lawyer to solve the problem for him."
Zhang Fengying cried, "Yaozu, that woman Su Huixian ran away and took the two children with her. She is the biggest liar."
"What did I say at the beginning? That's enough, but you just wouldn't listen. Song Yaqing is at least kind and righteous, but Su Huixian is nothing." Song Yaozu did give some advice, saying that there should be a limit to bullying.
Moreover, he was initially opposed to marrying Mayor Zhou's son, but Zhang Fengying and Chu Linghua simply refused to listen.
Less than a month after getting married, they divorced and I was beaten all over.
"What's the point of saying this now? Yaozu, you are my only hope now. You can't ignore the Chu family and your eldest brother."
Chu Yaozu was completely impatient. "I have some money here. Take it and go to my hometown with Dad and Linghua to take shelter for a while until the situation here has died down. I'll pick you up and come back. If you want to listen, then listen. If you don't want to listen, forget it. I'm hanging up now. I just had surgery and I'm very tired."
After saying that, Chu Yaozu hung up the phone.
Chu Linghua stamped her feet and said, "Mom, what should we do? My second brother doesn't care about us anymore. I don't want to go back to my hometown, and I don't want to go back to the countryside."
"What's the point of you saying all this now? You don't even have any connections. When Song Yaqing opposed your marriage, I thought she did it on purpose. I didn't know that Zhou had a murder record. You're so brave! You dared to marry him knowing the situation? You've ruined your reputation. Now no one dares to marry you. What do you want me to do?"
Zhang Fengying's hair turned white from worry.
"Mom, let's go and ask my sister-in-law for help again. Apart from my sister-in-law, no one else can help us." Chu Linghua thought of Song Yaqing again.
"I heard that Mr. Song passed away, and Mrs. Song was hospitalized due to excessive grief. My sister-in-law will definitely go to take care of them. Let's use the excuse of visiting the patient to beg my sister-in-law to at least keep my brother's company so that we don't have to go back to the countryside, right?"
Song Yaqing's eyes sparkled.
"They live in the Song family's hospital, and we can't get in..." Zhang Fengying knew that she had already offended the Song family.
"Dad is being transferred to the Song family's hospital now. They can't refuse to admit him, right?"
…
Chu's father was transferred to the Song Family Hospital, and Chu Linghua was responsible for the encounter with Song Yaqing.
My grandmother is very ill this time. She has a cardiovascular disease and needs to be hospitalized for treatment.
It was almost noon when Chu Linghua waited for Song Yaqing to come to the hospital.
Song Yaqing was not surprised. She knew the day before that Chu's father had been transferred to her second brother's hospital.
Chu Linghua mustered up her courage and blocked Song Yaqing's way: "Sister-in-law, I heard that your mother is sick. Can I go visit her?"
Song Yaqing refused coldly, "Miss Chu, please be careful with your address. Besides, there's no need to visit."
Chu Linghua was embarrassed for a moment, "Dad was hospitalized because of my eldest brother's matter, Su Huixian ran away, and Dad was lying in the hospital bed and still talking about you, sister-in-law."
Song Yaqing's expression remained cold. "I'm sorry, my last name is Song, and your brother and I divorced a long time ago. Please don't call me that. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. My mother is very ill, and I hope Miss Chu won't come to disturb her."
Chu Linghua: "Big..."
Song Yaqing gave Chu Linghua a cold look, but she didn't even call her sister-in-law.
When Chu Linghua came back dejected, Zhang Fengying knew that the task would not be accomplished.
"She's a heartless person. She reported your eldest brother with evidence, so why would she stop now?"
"Mom, stop talking. You and I both know how we treated her over the years. Everything that happened was clearly in the past, and I don't know why my eldest brother went to cause trouble at the Song family's funeral. He caused such a big mess." Chu Linghua thought that Chu Mingfeng was to blame for this.
"It's all for the company and the project. Of course, that bitch Su Huixian's instigation was indispensable! Otherwise, your eldest brother wouldn't have..." Zhang Fengying was very protective of her own people. She always blamed others and never let her own family members do anything wrong.
The haggard mother and daughter were blaming each other outside Chu's father's ward, but Chu's father in the ward couldn't even drink a sip of water.
Until the nurse called out: "Family members of Chu Xinggui, please come back to the ward. The patient needs your care."
The mother and daughter returned to the ward embarrassedly.
Chu Xinggui lost his temper. "Where have you been? I can't even get a drink of water. Mingfeng used to let me stay in a single room, but now there are so many people crammed together, I can't even sleep well."
Zhang Fengying came over with some water, a mournful look on her face. She asked Linghua to hold the curtains shut and whispered, "It's good enough to be here. Yaozu told us to return home as soon as possible and stay out of the spotlight. If he knew we were still here, he'd be furious."
"Unfilial son, that unfilial son, he actually wants to send his old father back at this time, it's a pity he can do that. Where's Mingfeng? Hasn't he come out yet? It's nothing serious, why is he still..." Chu Xinggui always thought that his son could do anything.
Chu Linghua's eyes were red. "Big brother really can't get out this time. He offended a powerful person, and it was all a matter of words. Now all the assets under big brother's name have been seized. Now we only have a few tens of thousands of yuan... Maybe we can hold on for a while in the countryside... Second brother said that the condition for saving big brother's company is that we return to the countryside as soon as possible."
He had just taken a sip of water when he immediately threw the cup, "Unfilial son, unfilial son!"
He has been in Jinchen for nearly 20 years. If he goes back now, he will be laughed at by those people. Where can he put his old face?
