Seeing that Li Qiumei was about to leave, Second Aunt quickly pulled her aside and said, "Qiumei, I'll boil an egg for Yuanbao to apply as a hot compress to reduce the swelling. Come and sit down.
After saying that, Second Aunt turned around and yelled at Cheng Zhiling, "Cheng Zhiling, what are you still standing there for? Go and boil some eggs!"
Cheng Zhiling quickly got up and ran into the kitchen.
Cheng Zhiqian glanced at Cheng Zhiming and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"
Cheng Zhiming glanced at Cheng Zhishan secretly but didn't dare to speak.
Cheng Zhishan snorted coldly: "Cheng Zhiming pushed the child into my arms, but I didn't want him, so I threw him on the ground.
Anyway, it’s up to you whether you want to kill or shave me! "
Yi Yongan quickly reached out and pulled her sleeve: "Zhishan, you must not have held it firmly and accidentally dropped it on the ground.
Fortunately, there was no bleeding.
You are the doctor yourself, check the baby quickly."
Cheng Zhishan shook off his hand: "Yi Yongan, don't worry about my affairs, go back first."
Yi Yongan's expression changed, and he stood aside with a wry smile.
Cheng Zhiqian's face darkened: "Cheng Zhishan, please speak properly to me!"
Zhiling, tell me, what exactly is going on?"
Cheng Zhiling had no choice but to tell the whole story.
Cheng Zhiqian was silent for a moment before looking at Cheng Zhishan.
"Cheng Zhishan, even if a stranger fell down in front of you, you can't just stand there and do nothing.
What's more, Yuanbao is your nephew.
How can you be so cold-blooded? You really disappoint me!"
Cheng Zhishan suddenly started yelling hysterically: "That's right, I am cold-blooded!
I just don’t like your wife, nor do I like the son she gave birth to!
You better keep them away from me! Don't come around me anymore!"
"Pa." Cheng Zhiqian raised his hand and slapped her.
"You are simply unreasonable!"
Cheng Zhishan covered her face and looked at Cheng Zhiqian in disbelief: "Brother, you actually hit me!"
Cheng Zhishan felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. Her elder brother, who had never said a harsh word to her since she was a child, actually hit her in front of so many people?
She yelled at Cheng Zhiqian frantically, "Do you want me to hit my head and get a bump? Only then will I be satisfied and even with you?"
Cheng Zhishan roared and rushed towards the corner of the table.
Cheng Zhiwen grabbed her and said, "Cheng Zhishan, are you crazy?"
Second uncle also frowned: "Zhishan, come with me to the study."
Cheng Zhishan instantly felt like a deflated ball, with her head hung as she followed her second uncle to the study.
Cheng Zhiwen smiled and said to Li Qiumei, "Sister-in-law, Zhishan didn't do it on purpose. Please forgive her this time."
Li Qiumei was busy coaxing Yuanbao and asked him without even raising her eyelids: "Cheng Zhiwen, are you sure Cheng Zhishan needs my forgiveness?
She doesn't even take me seriously, so how could she expect my forgiveness?"
"This..." Cheng Zhiwen was speechless.
Cheng Zhiming was slapped by Cheng Zhiheng and cried.
"You're just a troublemaker. Why did you insist on hugging her out of all the people?
You've caused so much trouble during the New Year, are you happy now?"
Cheng Zhiming cried sadly: "I want to go to Uncle Lin's house with my eldest brother and the others. You said that children go to other people's houses during the Chinese New Year. If you don't know, you might think we are going to ask for New Year's money.
You insisted that Yuanbao and I follow you.
I want to set off firecrackers, but you won't let me.
You disliked Yuanbao drooling and asked me to hold him.
Then, you set off all my firecrackers...you..."
Cheng Zhiheng interrupted him awkwardly: "You're talking nonsense. How could I dislike Yuanbao?"
Just as Cheng Zhiming was about to retort, Cheng Zhiheng covered his mouth and took out a dollar from his pocket and stuffed it into his hand.
Only then did Cheng Zhiming stop crying.
Li Qiumei saw that applying the egg seemed to be of no use, and the bump on Yuanbao's forehead looked even bigger.
Since her second uncle didn’t have any ointment at home, Li Qiumei decided to take Yuanbao to the hospital.
So Cheng Zhiqian and Li Qiumei took the child to the hospital.
Yuanbao was prescribed ointment, and Cheng Zhiqian went to pay the fee. Li Qiumei fed Yuanbao and then carried him on her back, rocking him gently.
Suddenly, she seemed to hear a familiar voice.
Li Qiumei followed the sound and at the corner of the stairs, she saw Zhao Dongyan yelling at an old lady.
"Mom, why don't you believe me?
How could I possibly be interested in Old Man Qin? I was bullied…”
The old lady opposite put her hand over her mouth and said, "Keep your voice down! Don't you think it's embarrassing?"
Zhao Dongyan pulled her mother's hand away and said, "Then you shouldn't have asked me.
You should go and ask Zhu Fenglian for me if she did it?
That day she stewed a pot of yam and pork ribs. Qian Dagui was allergic to yam and couldn't eat it, so only Zhu Fenglian, Old Man Qin and I ate it.
The four of us ate the rest of the dish, and I suspected that there was something wrong with the soup.
Moreover, I clearly remember that when I put the charcoal brazier in the house, I opened the window a crack.
At that time, I covered Ruirui with a blanket and she moved a little.
But now the police say that the doors and windows in my room are closed.
Mom, besides Zhu Fenglian, I can’t think of anyone else who would want to kill me.”
The old lady was stunned for a moment: "Could it be that she knows about your affairs?"
Zhao Dongyan wiped the corner of his eyes and said, "Nine out of ten, he knows, otherwise he wouldn't even want to get rid of Ruirui.
Mom, when the police came today, I was pretending to be asleep.
Because I don’t know what they are going to ask next?
Ever since I woke up the day before yesterday and told them that I had been drugged, they started investigating this as a criminal case.
I'm a little worried now. What do you think I should say so that the matter won't be exposed?"
The old lady straightened her hair and said, “If Zhu Fenglian did this, she would definitely not tell anyone for the sake of Qian Jinguo’s reputation.
Besides, there is Qian Dagui, he will definitely not let this matter be exposed.
You can stay in the hospital without worry.
Qian Dagui and his son have moved into the house above Qian Jinguo's workplace, and Zhu Fenglian is now living in the ward upstairs."
Zhao Dongyan snorted: "Since the accident, no one from this father and son has come to see me.
Maybe he believes, just like you, that there's something going on between me and that old man Qin, so he's angry."
The old lady looked at Zhao Dongyan with some concern: "Dongyan, the rumors about you are really unpleasant now.
I guess Qian Jinguo will definitely file for divorce with you.
What will you do then?"
Zhao Dongyan sighed: "Let's talk about it after this matter is over.
Right now, let's go find Zhu Fenglian to settle the score. I'd like to hear how she explains it."
At this point, Zhao Dongyan clenched her fists: "She killed Ruirui and almost killed me.
I want her to pay for Ruirui's life!"
