Chapter 184 Let’s Change the Father for the Child
Everyone looked outside the door and saw a police car coming. Four policemen got out of the car.
In the end, Wu Jianting was taken away.
Zhou Xue fell to the ground and cried like a tearful person. She stared at Zhou Kunhao as if he were her enemy.
"Okay, if you don't help, I'll find someone to help. Jianting must not go to jail!"
…
On the day Jiang Dongshan was transferred from the intensive care unit to the general ward, everyone in the Jiang family came.
Of course, his ordinary ward was also a VIP suite arranged for him by Zhou Kunhao, which not only had a bed and a sofa, but also a TV.
Although Jiang Dongshan was awake, he could only lie in bed. The wound hurt terribly when he moved.
Even when I got out of bed and went to the toilet, I had to take those few steps with someone's help and I was shaking all over and sweating profusely.
Zhao Xiumei held his hand and said, "Dongshan, I have two good news to tell you. First, Jingcheng has arranged for you to retire due to illness, so you don't have to go to work in the factory anymore. Second, the person who hit you has been caught, and it turned out to be that beast Wu Jianting!"
Jiang Dongshan was going to retire in a year or two. He had undergone such a major surgery and was hit on his way home from get off work because he was working overtime at the factory.
Logically speaking, the factory should pay some compensation and let him rest for a month or two.
Xie Jingcheng used his connections, and the factory directly processed his medical retirement.
Jiang Dongshan lay on the bed, squinting his eyes and said weakly, "Okay, okay."
"Zhao Xiumei, where is Zhao Xiumei!"
Suddenly, Tian Cuiping's voice was heard outside the ward door.
Zhao Xiumei walked outside and said coldly, "I'm here, why are you howling in the hospital?"
Tian Cuiping strode over and said, "You ordered my son to be arrested? It was your family that caused my younger son to go to jail. Now my younger son is still not out, and you want my older son to go to jail as well. How can you, the Jiang family, be so vicious!"
Zhao Xiumei was so angry that she almost laughed.
"The ones who arrested your eldest son are police officers. Your son hit someone with his car and ran away. You still have the nerve to come here and make a fuss. Don't you have any sense of justice?
This is a hospital, Tian Cuiping, I urge you to get out of here quickly. If you keep howling, I will tear your mouth to pieces."
I don’t know what bad luck I had in this life to have to be involved with Wu Jianting’s family in this life.
Tian Cuiping did not forget what Zhou Xue told her before she came, and tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart.
"We were in-laws before, Jianting was wrong this time, but now he has to call you grandma. We are all family, so just write him a letter of apology. He is a top student who studied abroad, and if he goes to jail, his life will be ruined."
"Bah!" Zhao Xiumei sneered, "You said he was a top student who returned from studying abroad, does he think he is one? If he had been honest and behaved properly, he should have had a very good job, but he chose to do those dirty jobs. Not to mention being kept by his boss, he now marries a rich girl and causes himself to lose his job.
He is now a worthless and disgusting maggot! He hit my old man and ran away. If it weren't for the kind neighbor who found the old man fainted in a pool of blood, the old man would have been killed by him. Why should I write a letter of apology for him? He should go to jail. Maybe he can reflect on himself in jail for a while and become a good person when he comes out! "
She already hated Wu Jianting's family, and now that Wu Jianting had hit Jiang Dongshan and ran away, she hated him even more. She would never write a letter of apology to him no matter what.
"I know you are just saying this in anger. As long as you write a letter of apology and don't let Jianting go to jail, I will make him kowtow to you and apologize. Is it okay for me to kowtow to you as well?"
Tian Cuiping has been at odds with Zhao Xiumei ever since she came to the city. It can be said that they are in a tit-for-tat relationship.
But now, for the sake of her son, she had to bow her head.
They used to live in the countryside and had a hard life, but now their lives are better and her in-laws have even bought them a house in the city.
At this time, his son cannot go to jail.
Zhao Xiumei said in a stern voice, "No! If Wu Jianting had not escaped but sent my old man to the hospital, he would only have to pay the money. But he escaped. How is this different from murder? He must go to jail!"
She didn't even dare to think that if they had discovered it a little later, she and her old man would probably have been separated from each other by life and death.
Zhou Xue, who had been hiding nearby, finally couldn't help it anymore. She ran over and knelt in front of Zhao Xiumei.
"Grandma, since my dad married my mom, Xiaohui, you are my grandma. Grandma, I am pregnant now, and the child cannot live without a father. I beg you to forgive Jianting. As long as you forgive Jianting, I will let my dad give you 50,000 yuan as compensation."
Before Zhao Xiumei could say anything, Tian Cuiping said in surprise, "Daughter-in-law, you are pregnant? When did this happen? How come I didn't know about it?"
Zhou Xue's eyes sparkled. "It was just detected a few days ago. I haven't had time to tell you yet."
"Okay, okay, that's great. Hurry up and get up. My grandson is important. You can't kneel down."
As she said this, she was about to pull Zhou Xue, but was pushed away by Zhou Xue.
"As long as grandma doesn't write a letter of apology to Jianting, I will kneel down forever!"
Jiang Xianli took a few steps forward and said with a smile, "Zhou Xue, are you pregnant? Where's the test report? Take it out and let us see it."
Wu Jianting's sperm is dead. Even if technology is advanced in the future, his sperm can't be used for anything, not even a test tube. Zhou Xue can't get pregnant. If she really gets pregnant, it can't be Wu Jianting's.
Zhou Xue was panicked for a moment, "The medical check list is at home, who can carry it with them?"
"Then let your mother-in-law get it, we'll wait here."
Zhou Xue gritted her teeth, "Jiang Xianli... No, Second Aunt! Now I'm not talking about my pregnancy, I'm talking about writing a letter of apology to Jian Ting!"
"Didn't you say that you were pregnant and the child couldn't be without a father? Then if you weren't pregnant and didn't have a child, what would it matter if Wu Jianting went to jail? Besides, even if you were pregnant, the child wouldn't be without a father. He would be in jail for a year or two at most, and when he got out, the child would be able to call him dad. If that doesn't work out, and you really want to do it for the child's sake, then divorce him and find a decent father for the child.
Hit-and-run is tantamount to murder. It is a lifelong shame for a child to have such a father.
"Zhou Xue, since you call me your second aunt, please listen to me. For the sake of the child, stop kneeling and find a good father for the child. If you wait until the child grows up to find a father, it will be too late!"
Zhou Kunhao also echoed, "I think what the child's second aunt said makes a lot of sense. Xue'er, get up quickly and divorce Wu Jianting immediately. I will find you a son-in-law tomorrow. You can pick any good man in Haiping City."
"I don't want it!" Zhou Xue cried, "I only want Jian Ting!"
Suddenly, she took out a fruit knife from her bag and put it against her neck.
"If you don't write a letter of apology to Jian Ting, I will commit suicide, killing two people with one body! I will make sure that you, the Jiang family, will never live in peace for the rest of your lives!"
Jiang Xianhui snorted coldly, "If you die, it's because you met the wrong person and were harmed by Wu Jianting. What does it have to do with my Jiang family? If you want to die, die quickly!"
As she spoke, she wanted to snatch Zhou Xue's dagger.
Zhou Xue yelled, "Don't come over here!"
She hardened her heart and cut the skin on her neck with the dagger. Tears and blood flowed down and soaked her clothes.
"If you come over here again, I'll really die!"
Everyone was shocked. Zhou Xue was actually willing to sacrifice her life for Wu Jianting!
Zhou Kun felt a pain in his heart from being so angry.
Cursing: "Idiot, idiot!"
"Xiu Mei, Xiu Mei..."
At this time, Jiang Dongshan's voice came from the ward.
Zhao Xiumei hurried over and asked, "Dongshan, what do you need? Do you want to go to the restroom?"
Jiang Dongshan shook his head and said weakly, "I heard everything you said. Please write a letter of apology to Wu Jianting."
"Why? He almost killed you!"
"He didn't mean to hit me. We were both turning a corner and it was just an accident. Zhou Xue is Kun Hao's biological daughter. Her mother is gone. If anything happens to her, how will Xiao Hui live in the Zhou family in the future? Besides, I'm already like this. Even if Wu Jianting goes to jail, it won't make any sense."
Although his voice was not loud, the others at the ward door could hear it clearly.
Jiang Xianhui said nothing, but shed tears silently.
Her father is an honest man. It can be said that apart from his honesty, he has no other advantages.
He was afraid of her mother all his life and never disobeyed her mother. Even when her mother favored her brother when she was a child and beat her until her back was bleeding, he never said a word.
She never dared to think that at this time, her father would still care about whether she was living well in the Zhou family.
Zhou Kunhao walked to Jiang Dongshan’s bed and actually knelt down.
"Dad, thank you!"
He didn't want to say anything else. He would always remember the kindness of his old man.
He knew that no one could persuade his daughter now. If the Jiang family insisted on letting Wu Jianting go to jail, his daughter might do something stupid.
If his daughter really committed suicide, leaving two lives behind, how would he and Jiang Xianhui live in the future?
The old man's action was equivalent to saving his entire family.
Jiang Dongshan closed his eyes, "Hurry up, I want to rest, let your mother take care of me here, you all go back."
"Okay, Dad, take good care of yourself. Although you forgive Wu Jianting, you will still have to pay him the compensation he deserves. I will go get 50,000 yuan and give it to you guys in a minute."
This time, Zhao Xiumei didn't even bother to be polite; the medical bills alone would cost tens of thousands.
The rest was the money to buy Wu Jianting out of jail.
After Zhao Xiumei finished writing the letter of apology, Zhou Kunhao took it out and handed it to Zhou Xue.
"Xue'er, you will regret it one day. Even if you don't remember the Jiang family's kindness, I hope that you will never have any conflicts with the Jiang family again in the future."
Zhou Xue nodded, "I understand, Dad. From now on, I will definitely treat the Jiang family's grandparents as my own grandma."
She took a few steps, then turned around and said, "I... I'm not pregnant. I just said this because I want you to forgive Jianting for the sake of the child."
Zhou Kunhao had probably already guessed this.
"From now on, take care of yourself."
But Tian Cuiping said excitedly: "What did you say? You are not pregnant? You and Jianting have been together for a long time, but you are not pregnant yet. Do you have a physical problem and cannot have children?"
Zhou Xue just loves Wu Jianting, but she also hates Wu Jianting's family from the bottom of her heart.
When he heard Tian Cuiping say this, he immediately became angry.
"What's wrong with my body? Besides, whether I have a baby or not is none of your business. I've already told Jianting that our first child will have my last name."
Tian Cuiping seemed to have been struck by lightning. Her eyes widened in astonishment. "You are dreaming. From ancient times to the present, there has never been a child with the mother's surname. I marry a daughter-in-law to continue the family line. If you want to do this, I will tell Jianting to divorce you and marry another daughter-in-law. Anyway, my Jianting is so good-looking and capable, and he can find a rich woman to support him."
When she said this, everyone, whether they knew her or not, was stunned.
Zhou Kunhao felt a sharp pain in his heart, and he cursed in a low voice with gritted teeth: "How can this bitch be so ignorant? She even humiliated my daughter and found another woman to throw herself at her. She also said that all women in the world are blind."
“Ahem…”
Jiang Xianhui coughed twice unnaturally, "Just let her curse. The more rude she is, the more arrogant she will be. This way Zhou Xue will be able to see the true face of their family sooner."
Zhou Kunhao glanced at her and took a deep breath.
"Okay, you have experience, I trust you."
Jiang Xianhui's mouth twitched, and she stopped talking. The more she said, the more wrong it would be. The older men get, the more jealous they become. She wanted to avoid a quarrel when she got home.
Zhou Xue sneered, "Where in Haiping City can Wu Jianting find another woman who can buy a house for his parents? If it weren't for Jianting, I would never have dealt with people like you in my life. I tell you, if you don't know what's good for you, go back to your hometown in the countryside and don't harm us here!"
"Okay, okay!" Tian Cuiping cried, "When my son comes out, I will let him divorce you!"
"I'm going to pick him up right now. Go and ask him to divorce me! If he dares to divorce me, I will make sure your whole family never sets foot in Haiping City again."
Tian Cuiping stiffened her neck and glared at her viciously, "You are committing treason. Just wait and see if I don't tell my son!"
Zhou Xue was eager to meet Wu Jianting, so she didn't bother to pay attention to her and turned around and walked away.
Jiang Xianli said hello to her father and went home with Xie Jingcheng.
It was noon when I got home. As soon as I sat down in the living room, Gao Shuhua came.
"Li Li, you're back. How's your father?"
Jiang Xianli helped her sit down and said with a smile, "She has been transferred to the general ward and will be discharged in half a month."
"That's good. When he's discharged from the hospital, you can go with me to see him."
Come to think of it, she had never been to her in-laws' house.
Jiang Xianli nodded, "Okay."
Gao Shuhua added, "I'll eat at your place this afternoon. You don't have any children here, so it's quiet. My presence here can help increase your popularity."
