"Are you in such a hurry? I'm your own mother, I raised you with so much love and care, and now that I'm divorced, can't you stay for a while and spend some time with me?" Dong Yun felt a pang of sadness looking at her daughter's anxious expression.
"See, I told you you're only doing this for yourself. You're not doing this for me at all. You just want to control me, use me as a tool to blackmail my dad for money. You all only love yourselves. Not one of you is truly looking out for me!" Xiaoyuer cried as she ran out.
Dong Yun looked at the roof and cried. She had selfish motives, but she was genuinely thinking about the child. How could Xiao Yu'er think of her like that?
Xiaoyuer didn't go to school; instead, he took the bus to the court to inquire about how to change custody.
If you want to change custody, it must be applied for by her parents. She is still a minor and has no civil capacity. Once she reaches adulthood, she will no longer need anyone's support.
Since Li Xingguo cannot be found, she can only return to the Dong family and ask Dong Yun to file a lawsuit.
Dong Yun didn't want to file a lawsuit. She wanted to wait until she could contact Li Xingguo and ask him before making a decision. She felt that it was unlikely that Li Xingguo would actually say he didn't want Xiaoyuer anymore.
But Xiaoyuer couldn't wait. If Dong Yun didn't file a lawsuit, she would go on a hunger strike, stop going to school, and starve herself to death.
Dong Yun was both angry and heartbroken. She couldn't just watch her child starve to death. She still couldn't contact Li Xingguo, which made Dong Yun very worried. Did Li Xingguo really just give her two thousand yuan and then abandon her and her child?
Dong Yun reluctantly filed a lawsuit against Li Xingguo, and a week later, the Li family received another summons.
Li Mancang was speechless and asked his father, "Dad, is there something wrong with the feng shui of our ancestral graves? Why do these things keep happening?"
"Your family always has so many problems. Why are other families doing fine? Look for the reasons within yourself. Don't blame your ancestral graves for every little thing that happens," the old man said irritably. He thought to himself that if he died and had a descendant like Li Mancang, he would have to move eight houses a year for him.
Li Mancang called his second brother, telling him that the lawsuit against Li Xingguo was not against him, and that Li Xingguo should go to court himself.
The second son hung up the phone, pondered for a while, and then drove to the sanatorium.
In the private room, Li Xingguo lay on the hospital bed. An older nurse was feeding him. Li Xingguo stared at the ceiling, expressionless, his mouth opening and closing in response.
"Look at you, you're always throwing a tantrum. You're such a grown-up, and you still need to be fed. When I don't let go of you, you whine and scream to let go. But when I do let go, you just lie there like a corpse, not moving at all. You're such a precious little thing." The nurse fed you gently.
Li Xingguo stared at the ceiling. What was the point of letting him go? He was on an iron bed, with an iron door and iron chains. He couldn't burrow underground, so he couldn't get out of the room at all.
The old nurse was a complete freak. The louder he shouted, the gentler she spoke. The more painful it was when she changed his dressing, the more he had to endure. After so many days, he had given up struggling. Once his lower body was completely healed and he could walk again, he would settle accounts with these people, especially Li Xingye who brought him here.
He was determined to sue him until he was bankrupt, Li Xingguo thought bitterly.
The second brother looked at Li Xingguo through the window and asked the doctor next to him, "Does my eldest brother really have a mental illness?"
"Your older brother has major depressive disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. You can see that he is depressed, has lost interest in everything, has a decreased appetite, sleeps poorly, has frequent nightmares, and is emotionally numb. These are all typical symptoms," the doctor explained.
The second brother nodded. He noticed that the nurse was speaking softly, but his older brother didn't respond at all, just like the doctor had said.
Second child: "How long will he have to stay like this?"
