"Sure, but a family member will need to be with you after the surgery." The senior doctor pushed up his glasses and silently wiped away his cold sweat.
"Family members..." Su Dazhi muttered as he walked out of the hospital.
Who should we contact?
The eldest daughter got married. A married daughter is like water spilled from a cup; even though she married a fool and didn't receive a dowry, the water is still gone.
The second son is being held in the Revolutionary Committee.
The third brother has been missing for several days again.
The fourth brother is sickly; let him stay by your side so he doesn't end up getting himself killed!
The fifth brother had already gone to the countryside and married a village woman. He managed to get married without spending a penny, which was quite an achievement for him. Let's not dwell on it.
Sixth brother, forget it. Sixth brother is just unlucky; don't let it affect your surgery outcome.
The seventh child is too small! He's drafty!
After much thought, he realized that despite having a large number of children, no one could accompany him during the surgery!
He turned back and asked the senior doctor, "Can I still have this surgery if I don't need anyone to accompany me?"
The old doctor shook his head: "No, you won't be able to get out of bed for two or three days after the surgery."
Su Dazhi sighed, thought for a moment, and then headed towards the food factory.
"Will you come with me to get a tubal ligation? Why do you want to get a tubal ligation?" Su Tong was called out of his office at the food factory, and the father and son spoke through the factory's large iron gate.
The security guard smelled Su Dazhi's scent and immediately became wary—they were from a food factory, and this guy's smell...
So I didn't let him in.
Su Tong also smelled it. Although he planned to refuse Su Dazhi's request, he was still very curious as to why Su Dazhi would have such a strange idea.
"Your mother is pregnant again!" Su Dazhi whispered.
"..." Su Tong was speechless for a moment, then suddenly he thought of something and blurted out, "Then wouldn't she be released?"
"I've been released and I'm at home now," Su Dazhi said with a bitter face.
"Then have her come with you!" Su Tong blurted out again.
“No, I still want to divorce her,” Su Dazhi immediately refused.
Su Tong laughed: "Dad, let's get this straight. You're getting sterilized because Guan Yumei is pregnant again, and you don't want her to have any more children, right?"
“Yes!” Su Dazhi nodded emphatically.
"But if you divorce Guan Yumei, where will she get pregnant again?" Su Tong asked with a smile.
"!!!"
These words were like a heavy hammer blow to Su Dazhi's head, so much so that he didn't even notice that Su Tong was no longer calling Guan Yumei "Mom," but instead calling her by her first name.
—Yes, if he truly wanted to divorce Guan Yumei, why would he have undergone a tubal ligation?!
"So, Dad, you've already decided that you still want to live with Guan Yumei, but you just can't get over that hurdle in your heart, right?" Su Tong asked again.
"You... let me think... let me think..." Su Dazhi turned around and left in a sorry state.
Without realizing it, they ended up at the entrance of the steel rolling mill.
He went in feeling dazed and confused.
When I arrived at the work group, I changed clothes again without really understanding what was going on.
Zhuang Xiaoqiang, who had undergone a tubal ligation in the same group, noticed something and pulled him into the shadows: "You've already been marked absent today, why are you adding insult to injury? The group leader just had a huge outburst!"
"...What? Is it really that serious?" Su Dazhi finally came to his senses. "You've already marked him absent without leave, why are you getting so angry?"
"A lot of police officers came looking for you just now! But you didn't come, and they're all in the factory manager's office now! Old Su, if you've done something wrong, you'd better run, it looks like a big deal! Don't worry, I'll pretend I never saw you!" Zhuang Xiaoqiang said anxiously.
"Lao Zhuang..."
Su Dazhi's nose stung, and he almost cried. "I didn't do anything wrong. I'll go to the factory manager now and ask him what he wants. Don't worry!"
As he spoke, he patted Zhuang Xiaoqiang on the shoulder, turned around, and strode away.
Sure enough, he could hear a commotion coming from the factory manager's office from afar—
The factory manager's voice was the clearest: "We've already sent someone to his house to call him. This is strange, isn't it? Su Dazhi is a veteran worker, he's had perfect attendance for many years in a row, but recently I don't know what's wrong with him. I just saw on the attendance sheet that he just asked for three days of personal leave, and today he's skipping work again! Comrade, is he really not guilty of anything?"
Upon hearing this, Su Dazhi steeled his resolve, pushed open the door, and went inside.
All eyes inside immediately turned to him.
A group of police officers surrounded the factory manager and attendance clerk, Xiao Shengli. There were about ten of them. Su Dazhi noticed that the police chief was also there.
Several police officers, having nowhere to sit, sat directly on the armrests of the sofa.
Upon seeing him, the factory manager felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He quickly pulled him over and said to the police officers, "Look, Master Su is here!"
The director stood up and walked toward him with a solemn expression: "Comrade Su Dazhi, please sit down first."
As he spoke, he glanced around.
A policeman who had occupied a single sofa immediately got up.
Su Dazhi was forced onto the sofa.
The director's tone was somber: "We've come to see you today for a few things. First, the verdict has been reached regarding the feud between your wife's family and your father's family."
Su Dazhi immediately gripped the handrails tightly with both hands.
"Ahem!" The warden cleared his throat. "Let me read you the main points. In the case of the Su-Guan brawl, the main culprit, Guan Yumei, was sentenced to 15 years in prison, with one year to be served outside of prison due to her pregnancy. Her place of imprisonment is Haicheng Women's Prison."
“How…how could she be the main culprit?” Su Dazhi’s lips trembled.
"Everyone identifies her as the main culprit, and there are eyewitnesses as well." The director flipped through the documents.
"Who? Who is the eyewitness?" Su Dazhi frowned.
