Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Smashing and Compensation
Zhao Ruyue admitted that her current thoughts and actions were somewhat extreme, her mentality was not right, and she was a bit ruthless in doing things.
So after figuring out what Lu Qiuying was going to do, she decided to take a gamble. Even if she would get hurt, she bet that there was a high probability that she would not die if she fell from the second floor. After all, she had survived in her previous life when she was completely unprepared. .
Perhaps when her husband passed away in her previous life and she had to be both a father and a mother and take care of the family on her own, her mental state was not normal, but she just never realized it.
Later, she posted a message online to complain and cry about her children's unfilial behavior. Netizens pointed out her problems incisively, which made her realize her own problems.
Although she was like a stubborn donkey at that time, stubbornly unwilling to admit her own problems, and even quarreled with and responded to netizens.
But in fact, she knows in her heart that although what some netizens say is unpleasant, it is not wrong.
After falling and finding herself awake in the hospital, Zhao Ruyue knew that she had won the bet.
But rebirth does not mean becoming an immortal, and she is not an iron man, so injuries are inevitable.
Zhao Ruyue heard a nurse outside the door asking, "Are you Zhao Ruyue's family member?"
Ning Shaoming arrived at some point and was answering, "Yes, I am her husband!"
As he responded to the nurse's words, his eyes unconsciously looked through the glass on the door at his wife in the ward.
His wife, who was lying on the bed, had lost her former rosy complexion and lips. It was obvious that she had suffered a lot, which made him feel distressed.
The nurse nodded and continued, "Her external injuries are not serious, but the baby in her belly is not..."
"What?!" Ning Shaoming turned around suddenly and interrupted the nurse with a look of shock. "What did you say! She, she has a baby in her belly?!"
When the nurses saw his shocked look on his face as he knew nothing about the patient's pregnancy, they were immediately startled, thinking that this might be a cuckold incident, or they would have to face the same situation where a patient was abandoned in the hospital and not cared about.
Fortunately, Ning Shaoming's next words dispelled the nurse's worries: "Is there a mistake? She was asked by the family planning office to get an IUD a few months after giving birth to her second child. How could she get pregnant again?"
Ning Shaoming said anxiously: "Can the doctor examine my wife again carefully?" He was worried that other diseases had been misdiagnosed.
Seeing how concerned he was about his wife, the nurse breathed a sigh of relief: "An IUD cannot guarantee 100% contraception. There is a very small chance of an unexpected pregnancy."
Ning Shaoming understood: "So that's how it is... Can I go in and see her now?"
The nurse took a look inside and saw that Zhao Ruyue was fine. She nodded and said, "Okay, she's awake. You can go in." Then she left the ward door and went to find a doctor.
As soon as Ning Shaoming entered, he hurried to the bedside to ask about her health. Seeing that her lips were dry, he remembered that he was too anxious and came to the hospital without preparing any daily necessities. He had to go to the nurse station to borrow a disposable cup in annoyance, intending to mix some warm water for his wife to moisten her lips.
Zhao Ruyue couldn't help but tear up when she saw how anxiously and worriedly he was, and how busy he was running around for her.
My heart felt bitter and aggrieved, yet also filled with happiness and emotion. My mood was complicated, and tears couldn't stop falling down my face.
Ning Shaoming, who had just returned from fetching water, saw her crying and hurriedly put down the cup in his hand to comfort her: "It's okay, don't be afraid. When I got there, the police told me that Lu Qiuying and the man had been arrested by the police. They will definitely pay the price for their bad deeds!"
When Ning Shaoming thought about what those two people had done, he wanted to tear them apart alive!
Pay the price? Zhao Ruyue leaned in his arms and thought: If she didn't use some tricks and calculations, they might not necessarily pay the price they deserved. It was good enough that she didn't turn the tables.
The man's warm body temperature penetrated through his clothes and reached the side of her face and the half of her body that was leaning against him. The familiar smell at the tip of her nose made her feel full of security.
Zhao Ruyue was about to say something when the doctor pushed the door open. She had no choice but to swallow the words back as she couldn't let anyone else hear them.
After the doctor came and checked Zhao Ruyue's condition, the police took notes and left.
They were the only couple left in the ward, and Zhao Ruyue was finally able to say what she had not said just now.
"I fell down the stairs on purpose." She whispered in Ning Shaoming's ear.
These words stunned Ning Shaoming, and he was a little angry that she hurt her body in such an extreme way.
But thinking about the danger his wife was facing at the time, he could not blame her for what she did, perhaps just to protect herself out of helplessness. He just felt that he was useless and could not even protect his own wife.
"I'm sorry, I'm so careless..."
"No, you're fine!" Zhao Ruyue interrupted his self-blaming words.
In front of Ning Shaoming, she never needed or wanted to hide her calculations: "We already have two children. The money we borrowed to pay the fine for the second child has not been repaid yet. We can't pay the fine or raise the child in my belly, so I..." I took advantage of this child.
But she doesn't regret it.
As Zhao Ruyue spoke, tears began to flow uncontrollably again. She was not a good mother. Her two children in her previous life also said so.
Thinking that her relationship with the two children would become worse than that of strangers, she became even sadder and cried even harder.
In fact, after my husband passed away in my previous life, I seldom cried. Who was I crying for? No one feels sorry.
Her tears were gently wiped away by her husband. Zhao Ruyue choked up and continued, "I have been harassed by Gao Guangqiang many times. I was lucky enough to escape before, but there is no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days."
Faced with the wealthy and well-connected locals, the two migrant workers, even if they were victims, could only swallow their anger when being bullied.
This was what happened in the previous life. The culprit pushed Lu Qiuying out as an accomplice and let Lu Qiuying take most of the responsibility. After Lu Qiuying paid some money, he still got away with it.
Even after using his connections to get things done and having someone take the blame for him, Gao Guangqiang only had to pay very little in compensation.
He would rather spend the money on bribing people than compensate Zhao Ruyue for not being able to eat her.
Lu Qiuying herself didn't have much savings, so Zhao Ruyue didn't get the compensation she deserved.
Not long after, Gao Guangqiang returned to his old ways and continued to harass her, even using tricks to cause her and Ning Shaoming to lose their jobs.
Not only that, Gao Guangqiang actually paid someone to keep an eye on them. Every time they found a new job, it would be ruined by the people he hired.
She and her husband had no choice but to hide back in their hometown, but even after returning, they were shrouded in the dark cloud of this incident for a long time.
Because Lu Qiuying was in prison, her husband was still outside and was not implicated.
Lu Qiuying took the blame for Gao Guangqiang, and Gao Guangqiang gave her a sum of money, all of which was in the hands of Lu Qiuying's husband.
This money allowed him to return to his hometown and live a comfortable life for several years without having to continue working.
While she and Ning Shaoming were busy dealing with Gao Guangqiang's embarrassment, Lu Qiuying's husband returned to his hometown, took the initiative, and exaggerated the matter and told everyone about it.
He was also quite scheming and he didn't say that his wife was not wrong. After all, it was a fact that Lu Qiuying was in jail. If he talked nonsense, his fellow villagers who worked and rented a house in the same place as them would definitely expose him.
Lu Qiuying's husband added fuel to the fire, saying things like 'a fly doesn't bite an egg without cracks', 'you don't know how open she is outside', 'looking at the way she looks, there must be many bosses willing to support her', 'how can a man like Ning Laosan, who is so honest and can't even get a fart out of his mouth, control her? ' or something like that.
While admitting that his wife had committed a crime, he spared no effort to throw mud at Zhao Ruyue.
So much so that after Zhao Ruyue returned to her hometown, people looked at her with tinted glasses for a long time, and it was useless for her to explain herself.
At that time, Zhao Ruyue even wanted to kill him and then jump into the river.
Later, it turned out that Lu Qiuying's husband had someone else outside and wanted to use Lu Qiuying's imprisonment as an excuse to divorce. The two of them started to fight without hesitation, and they exposed all the truth. Only then did Zhao Ruyue's innocence return.
But time cannot be reversed, the harm caused by rumors cannot be erased, and it is difficult to heal.
However, Zhao Ruyue also learned something from this, otherwise no matter how crazy she was, she would not dare to gamble with herself.
Recalling what happened after returning to her hometown in her previous life, Zhao Ruyue gritted her teeth and whispered in Ning Shaoming's ear: "Although Lu Qiuying and Gao Guangqiang have been arrested, the matter is not over yet. If we want them to pay the price they deserve, we must hurry up and do something."
Ning Shaoming couldn't bear to see her cry, so he said without hesitation: "You take a good rest, leave everything to me, what do you want to do?"
"Go to the house rented by Lu Qiuying and her husband right away, and then..." She whispered to Ning Shaoming what to do next, and then urged him to go quickly and not to worry about herself in the hospital.
After hearing this, Ning Shaoming immediately found an excuse to go back to get some clean clothes and daily necessities, mentioned it to the nurse, and asked her to help take care of his wife more. Then he left the hospital without stopping and rushed to the rental house.
After returning to the rental house, he did not go back to his own home, but instead made an angry expression and rushed into the house rented by Lu Qiuying and his wife.
He cursed loudly and smashed things for a while before returning to his rental house.
Ning Shaoming searched the room and found two luggage bags, filling them with several sets of clothes for Zhao Ruyue to change into.
Then he took off his tall chef's hat, took out two CDs that he found in Lu Qiuying's rental pawnshop, stuffed them into the inner pocket of his luggage bag, and then continued to pack some daily necessities for use at home.
After packing two suitcase bags, he went out as if he was heading to the hospital.
He was stopped after walking a few steps. The person who stopped him was the landlord Lu Fa. Several rental houses nearby were Lu Fa's houses.
Ning Shaoming frowned and asked, "Boss Lu, why are you stopping me? My wife is still in the hospital waiting for me to take care of her!"
Lu Fa looked even more unhappy than him: "I heard someone say that you went to Xiao Sun's place and smashed things?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Ning Shaoming raised his voice and said angrily, "His wife is a nobody and she bullies my wife! Smashing his things is the least of my worries. When he comes back, I'll smash him too!"
"Young man, don't be so angry. I don't care who you hit, but the house is mine, and the furniture inside is also mine. You have to pay for the damage to the house and the things inside."
Ning Shaoming stiffened his neck and said, "Go ask Sun Hongguang to pay for it!"
"I don't care what conflicts you have. I only know whoever broke things should pay for it." Lu Fa didn't want to know about the lawsuit between tenants. He just wanted to choose the solution that would be most beneficial to himself. "If they have wronged you, you can ask them for compensation when the time comes. Anyway, I will only ask you for compensation for breaking things."
"You, you are unreasonable!"
Lu Fa snorted coldly: "Humph, I'm just being reasonable now!"
Ning Shaoming was unwilling to pay, so Lu Fa pulled him and refused to let him go. The tug-of-war between the two attracted a lot of onlookers.
In the end, Ning Shaoming was anxious to go to the hospital to take care of his wife, so he compromised first: "Okay, okay, I'll compensate you, but I don't have much money on hand, and I still have to go to the hospital to pay for medical expenses. Can you give me part of it first and write an IOU for the rest?"
Seeing Lu Fa was hesitant, Ning Shaoming said, "Didn't I just pay three months' rent? If I don't pay you back, you can just kick us out and use the rent as compensation."
The room that Lu Qiuying and Sun Hongguang rented was rather old, and the furniture inside had been discarded by his family many years ago. The rent paid by Ning Shaoming was more than enough to cover the compensation.
Lu Fa thought about it and felt that the other person was having a hard time right now and it would not be good to force him.
So he nodded and agreed: "Since you two are usually honest and dutiful and don't delay in paying the rent, I will be lenient this time. Come with me to write the IOU."
As soon as he entered the door, Lu Fa went to the study to find paper and pen, and Ning Shaoming followed closely behind him.
Lu Fa turned around and was about to tell him not to follow him to the study, but Ning Shaoming pushed him into the study and locked the door.
This frightened Lu Fa so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.
