Song Guomin was stunned by the beating.
He quickly came to his senses, ignoring the pain on his face, and tightly gripped Old Master Song's arm.
"Grandpa, where's my dad?!"
Old Master Song's lips twitched with anger. "You almost made your father die of anger, and you still have the nerve to ask! A mere house has caused such a commotion. Song Guomin, if anyone in your family gets in your way in the future, are you going to kill them?"
That's a rather harsh statement.
Song Guomin's eyes widened, and he hurriedly tried to defend himself, "Grandpa, I don't know anything about this! Dad was fine when I left, he was just standing there! He couldn't have fainted from anger. I really don't know anything about this. Mom came to the bank today, and I came over as soon as I got off work!"
Only the second son was in the courtyard; Grandma Song and Xu Guiying were still at the hospital.
Old Sun heard the commotion and rushed over.
I'm really afraid that Song Guomin will make his grandfather faint again.
Old Master Song scoffed, his gaze towards Song Guomin filled with utter disappointment. "You still have the nerve to say that! You think you've been wronged, that you're innocent? That we're making a mountain out of a molehill?!"
Song Guomin frowned deeply. "Grandpa, that's not what I meant. The problem is that I know the situation now, I know I was wrong, how is Dad?"
Old Master Song: "Luckily someone saw it and took your father to the hospital, otherwise, Song Guomin, you would have been branded a patricide for the rest of your life! You don't need to come back anymore. You can stay with your wife. If you want to go to the Liu family, go ahead. It has nothing to do with us. Get the hell out of here!"
Old Sun quickly advised, "Song Guomin, you've really gone too far. Don't say anything more, or you'll upset your grandfather."
Old Master Song didn't give Song Guomin another chance to speak, pushing him away. What bad luck! The Song family is really unlucky to have such a scoundrel.
"Old Sun, you should go back and leave him alone."
Old Master Song closed the gate of the Song family home.
With a snap—
Song Guomin was ruthlessly locked out.
Several neighbors passing by glanced at Song Guomin several times.
He looks all respectable, yet he managed to make his own father sick. You really can't judge a book by its cover.
Song Guomin felt extremely uncomfortable under these stares. With his face still red and swollen, he went to the hospital again, hoping to try his luck. When he arrived at the inpatient department, he asked a nurse and learned that patient Song Xinfu had just been discharged.
Is it serious?
"With so many patients every day, how can I remember them all? I need to leave quickly."
Song Guomin took a step back, feeling extremely embarrassed. He couldn't get into his house in Heping Lane, so he had no choice but to go back to his own home.
Liu Aimei was extremely annoyed to see that Song Guomin had been beaten again. She thought it must have been by the Song family again. He was so useless all day long. What good was a man like that?
Liu Aimei's face darkened. "What's going on?"
Song Guomin sat on the sofa, looking lost and disoriented. After he finished talking about Song Xinfu, he covered his face with his hands, his eyes red and swollen. "I didn't know Dad had fainted, otherwise I wouldn't have left."
Liu Aimei frowned. "Is he alright?"
"He should be fine; he's been discharged from the hospital now."
Liu Aimei breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that nothing happened.
If something really goes wrong, then the house will be completely out of their reach.
The neighbors in Heping Lane all know the specifics and won't stand on their side. Now that things have escalated to this point, getting the house... will be even more difficult.
"Have the third and fifth brothers gone to the hospital? What was their attitude?"
Song Guomin put down his hand and sighed, "I don't know, only Grandpa and the second son are at home."
Liu Aimei couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Three houses, just to leave them to that idiot second son? Whether they'll be good or not is another matter. I really don't know what your parents are thinking."
Song Guomin: "Alright, that's enough."
Liu Aimei's anger flared up instantly.
"Stop talking! I'm trying to figure out how to get the house right now! Song Guomin, you're ridiculous. It's one thing if you're incompetent, but I'm trying to make plans for this family, and you're just sitting on your own laurels. What kind of father are you!"
Song Guomin clenched his fists in anger.
Liu Aimei's words pierced his heart with each and every one of them!
He suddenly stood up.
“I’m trying to figure something out right now. You’re anxious, but am I not? Liu Aimei, before you criticize me, think about what you’ve done for this family! Your salary isn’t as high as mine, you send Yanyan and Lele to daycare, and we take turns cooking. Besides supporting your family, what else have you done? Did I even mention the 500 yuan you borrowed from your mother?”
Liu Aimei's face flushed with anger. She pointed at Song Guomin and said, "Now that you've admitted it, I knew it! You've been holding back all this time, and now you can't keep up the act anymore! What's the point of a grown man like you bringing up old grievances?!"
After Liu Aimei finished speaking, she went into the room and slammed the door shut behind her.
Song Guomin was so angry his head was about to explode.
My face still stings.
I expect there will be some hassle going to the bank tomorrow.
Liu Aimei harbored a lot of resentment towards him all day long. He wasn't a criminal! He was also working hard for the family! But in her mouth, he became an incompetent man.
Song Guomin leaned back on the sofa, pondering what to do about the house.
A gradual approach is definitely not going to work.
It never worked before, and now that his family hates him to this extent, they definitely won't let him in again.
Song Guomin thought of the third and fifth brothers.
He didn't believe those two idiots could really hold back.
-
The next day, the Song family planned to invite a few neighbors to their home for dinner as a way of thanking them for their help that day.
Song Yun and Mo Hong were also there. Old Master Song even went to call Lu Hui and the others. Song Zhicheng was still in the countryside. He just wanted to say hello to Er Gouzi's family and tell them that if Song Guomin ever needed anything from them, they were not allowed to agree to anything.
Lu Hui and Song Qiumin were so shocked that they couldn't say a word.
That's outrageous!
It's just a house, is it more important than your own father?!
Grandpa Song observed the expressions of Lu Hui and Song Qiumin.
fine.
Er Gouzi's family is considered decent.
That's really strange.
Big Dog and his eldest daughter-in-law are both bright and cheerful, but apart from the second son, the other three sons all have problems.
Is there something wrong with the feng shui?
Lu Hui agreed, saying she would go over after closing the shop in the afternoon.
By evening, everyone was there. The neighbors who had helped that day were all present: Grandpa Song, Mr. and Mrs. Song Xinfu, Director, Old Sun, Aunt Wang and her husband, Zhuo Huai, and Chen Zhou sat at one table.
The rest of the Song family members sat at another table.
The courtyard was bustling with activity, especially thanks to Chen Zhou.
Chen Zhou waved his hand sheepishly, "I was just thinking that if you forgot to close the door, I'd remind you, but who knew... Luckily I asked."
Song Xinfu and Xu Guiying stood up. "Let's raise a glass to everyone and wish you all a Happy New Year in advance! Forget about the bad things of the past! May the new year be prosperous and thriving!"
There are sick people, elderly people, and students.
Everyone was drinking beverages.
"cheers."
"cheers."
