Chapter 421: Life on the line



"Aunt Zhao, are you comparing me to a pig?" Huang Xiuxiu asked with a smile.

"No, no, I don't mean that." Zhao Xingmei waved her hands repeatedly with a cold expression, "Are you overthinking it? I didn't mean that. I just wanted to praise you for your ability to have children!"

"Tsk." Huang Xiuxiu snorted coldly, pinched her waist and walked out staggeringly.

"Who is that..." Zhao Xingmei muttered.

Aunt Liang heard the noise in the yard and came out of the house. Seeing that it was almost noon and Zhao Xingmei had not yet gone to cook, she asked her: "Aunt Zhao, why haven't you gone to cook yet? You have been in the yard for the whole morning. Who are you waiting for?"

"Jiang Rui." Zhao Xingmei said, "I don't know whether he went to work today or not."

"Why are you waiting for him? He can't be back at this time if he's not at work!"

"Something's going on."

Huang Xiuxiu had almost walked to the door, but when she heard what Zhao Xingmei said, she turned back: "Aunt Zhao, please don't wait for Jiang Rui. He didn't go to work today. He went out with his wife."

...

...

"What?" Zhao Xingmei's face suddenly turned ugly when she heard that he didn't go to work again. "You didn't go yesterday, and you didn't go today. You don't go to work every day. What do you want to do?"

Huang Xiuxiu thought Zhao Xingmei was worried that Jiang Rui would lose his job if he didn't go to work, so she deliberately told her the news to provoke her: "Aunt Zhao, I heard from Dazhi that your Jiang Rui is going to be fired from the factory for not working hard. If he is fired, both of them will be out of work! If they lose their jobs, the house allocated by the factory will be taken back, right?"

"Ouch!" Aunt Liang was immediately upset when she heard this, "Is it that serious?! Aunt Liang, what happened to your Jiang Rui? He doesn't work hard at his job. If he is fired, how can he live? This is not a joke. Otherwise, you should go to the factory and find the leader to plead for mercy!"

Huang Xiuxiu saw that Aunt Liang was anxious, and thought that Zhao Xingmei must be even more anxious.

"This bastard! I'm so mad at you, so mad!" Zhao Xingmei was indeed furious, but not because Jiang Rui lost his job, but because he was not at work every day and could not be found in the factory, so she couldn't fire him.

She felt that if Jiang Rui didn't go to work again, she would need to ask someone from the factory to take the house back directly to prevent him and Wang Sha from making trouble.

Seeing that Zhao Xingmei was angry, Huang Xiuxiu laughed secretly in her heart. Just as she was about to leave, she saw two people in police uniforms coming in.

She was immediately startled and subconsciously dodged to the side: "Public Security Comrade, why are you here?"

"Does Zhao Xingmei live in this yard?"

When Zhao Xingmei heard that the police were looking for her, her heart skipped a beat and she said hastily, "I am Zhao Xingmei!"

"Aunt Zhao, something happened to your son and daughter-in-law! They are in the hospital now, please come with me."

Zhao Xingmei's head buzzed when she heard this, and she almost fell down. Fortunately, Aunt Liang came out to help her, and she managed to stand up: "Police, I have two sons who are married. I don't know which one you are talking about?"

"Jiang Rui and Wang Sha."

"What?" Zhao Xingmei felt that all the blood rushed to her head. "What...what happened to them?"

"There was a car accident. Our car is outside, so we can talk while walking. Now both of them are lying in the operating room, waiting for their family members to sign for the operation!"

"Okay, okay." Zhao Xingmei was panicked. She didn't care about anything else. She entrusted Jiang Miao to Aunt Liang and hurriedly followed the police.

Aunt Liang was afraid that Jiang Miao would be upset by the news, so she squatted down and hugged her: "Miao Miao, mom and dad are fine, don't be sad."

Jiang Miao shook his head: "I'm not sad, I'm not sad at all."

Aunt Liang sighed: "Poor child..."

Zhao Xingmei rushed to the hospital, and the doctor handed her two informed consent forms for her to sign. Jiang Rui and Wang Sha had been waiting on the operating table for too long and could not waste any more time.

After signing, she sat weakly on a bench in the hospital corridor.

Thinking back to what the public security comrade had just said to her, she could no longer hold back her tears, and she lowered her head, holding her face and cried.

The two of them were caught at the scene of reselling cultural relics. If sentenced, Wang Sha would be sentenced to ten years or more. Jiang Rui was just accompanying her this time and has no close relationship with him, so his sentence would not be too long.

If Wang Sha can make meritorious contributions while serving her sentence and give out the information about the people involved in the trafficking of cultural relics, she may be able to have her sentence reduced.

However, on the way to escort the two people back, Wang Sha used the excuse that she needed to go to the toilet and escaped when no one was paying attention.

The public security officers would definitely not allow her to escape and chased her relentlessly.

Unexpectedly, Wang Sha rushed into the middle of the road and was hit by a speeding car, rolling several meters away on the spot.

Jiang Rui was shocked by this situation and went crazy. He wanted to rush up to check on Wang Sha's condition, but he was also hit by a car.

So, both of them were lying in the hospital.

Wang Sha was seriously injured and unconscious, while Jiang Rui's injuries were relatively minor, with the injuries concentrated in the lower body, and his life is not in danger.

The operation took a very long time. After about three hours, Jiang Rui came out of the operating room with both legs comminuted fractures.

Wang Sha's operation lasted until dark. When she was pushed out of the operating room, Zhao Xingmei immediately went to meet her.

"Doctor, how was the surgery?"

"The operation went smoothly. However, the patient may not wake up for a while after the operation."

"How long will it take for him to wake up?" Zhao Xingmei asked hurriedly.

"If you're lucky, you may wake up after the anesthesia. If you're unlucky, it may take three months, six months, or even longer, or you may never wake up."

"What?" Zhao Xingmei almost collapsed to the ground after hearing this. "This... This means he will never wake up. Does this mean he's dead?"

"He is not dead. He is breathing and has body temperature, but his brain cannot wake up. He is like a plant. Medically, this is called a vegetative state."

As the night deepened, Zhao Xingmei sat next to Jiang Rui, and her soul seemed to have been taken away from her.

Looking at Jiang Rui who was still sleeping, she felt both pain and hatred.

"Mom, are you okay?" Jiang Xun's voice came from behind her. She turned around and saw Jiang Xun standing behind her. Jiang Xun came with Jiang Xi and Jiang Sui.

When Zhao Xingmei saw the children, tears immediately flowed down like a river bursting its banks: "Big brother, both of his legs are shattered. If Wang Sha doesn't wake up after tomorrow, she will most likely become a vegetable."
