When she returned to the hospital, Zhang Cuihua was half lying on a chair, crying and shouting.
“You can’t chase me away, my son’s illness has not been cured yet, and I have money to pay the fees.
My brother will come with the money soon, you can’t chase us away.”
They already owed one day's fees, and Li Zhenguo should have paid the outstanding fees when he came today.
But before he could do anything, he was taken away by the police.
The young nurse looked at Zhang Cuihua who was throwing a tantrum, and the bad emotions she had felt from being scolded by this person before gradually filled her heart again.
She took a deep breath and said coldly, "What are you going to pay? The police have already issued a notice.
All illegal gains were turned over and confiscated, compensation was due to others, and even the house was reclaimed.
How will you pay for the hospital bills?"
The patients around did not expect this to happen and they all started talking about it.
The young nurse regretted saying this. Her brother worked in the Public Security Bureau and she would occasionally hear him mention it when she came home for dinner.
Zhang Cuihua was incredulous: "How is it possible?
Even though our family has no money, I still give ten dollars to my parents' home every month.
My brother will definitely come to pay me!"
Zhang Cuihua struggled to stand up, but the pain in her coccyx was too severe.
She tried hard to stand up but failed.
An auntie next to him thought for a moment and said in surprise: "Are you talking about the person who came to see you yesterday afternoon?
He ran away after the incident in your family.
He even took the bag from under your bed. So he is your brother. And you still expect him to pay for your hospital bills?"
The words from everyone were like thorns piercing Zhang Cuihua's body.
She murmured to herself: "No, it's impossible. My brother said he would take me home to take care of me..."
In fact, Zhang Cuihua knows very well in her heart that she is now a hot potato.
Not to mention her own brother, even her own parents had to send her away.
The young nurse said impatiently: "The hospital has already issued a notice that if you haven't paid the money tonight.
Then take them away immediately. I am just a nurse delivering orders. Comrade Zhang, please don't embarrass me."
After saying this, the young nurse turned around and left, holding the things in her hands.
In the end, Zhang Cuihua had no choice but to find someone to carry her son out of the hospital.
Zhang Cuihua later went to her parents' home, but the door was locked tightly from the inside.
No matter how loudly she shouted, no one opened the door for her.
I finally used the last bit of my savings to rent a house.
The mother and son finally settled down.
But what happened next was a nightmare for Zhang Cuihua.
Li Bing still had many bruises on his body. The gauze on his face had been removed and he could barely see and talk.
When he learned what happened at home, he fell completely silent.
However, that night, Li Bing heard the window creaking in his sleep.
He opened his eyes dazedly, and found a long-haired figure hanging at the window.
In the reflection of the moonlight, the shadow shining on the window was magnified countless times, and a bloody face could be vaguely seen.
Li Bing was so scared that he wet his pants on the spot. He struggled to get up, but he didn't move at all for a long time.
I watched the shadow getting closer and closer.
He cried out in pain and struggled by shaking his head.
His eyes were wide open as if they were about to pop out of their sockets, but it was still no use.
I watched helplessly as a hole was opened in the window...
When Zhang Cuihua, exhausted, came back from replacing someone else's night shift, the moment she opened the door, she smelled a foul stench.
The house she rents now even has a kitchen that she shares with others.
She used a curtain to divide the small room into two small rooms.
But after all, it is in the county, and the rent is two dollars a month.
An auntie from next door came out with dark circles under her eyes: "Sister Zhang, it stands to reason that your family has just moved in not long ago, and it's nothing for us neighbors to help each other and tolerate each other.
But your son, ah......"
In just a few days, Zhang Cuihua was worn out and lost her temper.
Her coccyx still hurt so much that she had no choice but to take the painkillers prescribed by the hospital.
She forced a smile through her chapped lips: "His aunt, look at how badly my son is injured. He usually makes a little noise, please be more tolerant."
While the two were talking, a woman from another room came out.
The woman yawned, with a baby on her back: “Aunt Zhang, there is only a wall between our two houses.
We heard clearly what happened in your house. My baby just turned one month old and was scared by your son last night and started crying loudly.
We barely slept the entire night, and only when it was quiet in the second half of the night did we get a nap.”
Li Bing had many wounds on his body, and sometimes when the pain became unbearable, he would scream a few times.
At first everyone was very tolerant and felt sorry for this family.
But later on, they kept shouting every day, and no one could stand it, right?
Especially last night, he howled like his father had died...
Zhang Cuihua really wanted to say something in response, but the fatigue from the night and the pain in her body completely overwhelmed her.
So that she doesn't have the energy to argue with others anymore.
He just forced a smile and apologized to others, then turned around and tried to go back into the house.
At this moment, the aunt with pigtails next to her covered her nose and said, "Sister Zhang, did your child poop in the house again?
I'm telling you, you should at least get him a urinal, right?
Otherwise, the stench would creep out through the windows and it would be very nauseating for us to smell.”
This statement resonated with many neighbors. There were more than a dozen families living in their small courtyard.
Sometimes the coughing and talking sounds from the next room can be heard clearly by the other family.
Zhang Cuihua called out twice, but she didn't hear her son's voice.
His expression changed, and he quickly opened the door completely and strode in.
When the people around saw that something was not right, they ignored the stench.
He covered his nose with his sleeve and stretched his head to look into the small room.
Only then did they realize that half of Li Bing's body was hanging on the ground, and this simple bed was made of just a few wooden boards.
So it’s not very high, and the legs over there are still hanging on the bed.
His entire face was submerged in the urinal.
Everyone was shocked. Zhang Cuihua was so frightened that she froze where she was, unable to move.
It was the aunt with pigtails who reacted quickly: "His father, his father, go and help him up. Oh, I don't know how long he has been drowning.
I don’t know if there is anything in the urine jar, otherwise it would choke the mouth and nose, how could this person still survive?”
