Song Rongrong returned to the master bedroom and received a video call from Ying Zhengqing right after taking a shower.
After Song Rongrong recounted what happened today, Ying Zhengqing became so anxious that he blurted out things without thinking, saying that Song Rongrong was practically playing with her own safety, and what if Gao Yu had brought a knife?
What if Song Rongrong gets hurt? What will he do?
Song Rongrong comforted Ying Zhengqing.
"Don't say anything more. It's already done, so what? You can't think of that much in an emergency. I also asked the security guards for help. It's okay, it's okay."
"Don't walk anymore, stop swaying around."
Ying Zhengqing sighed heavily again and glared at her.
Knowing she was in the wrong, Song Rongrong coughed lightly and remained silent.
Ying Zhengqing then inquired about Song Xinfu's situation and Ying Suqi's studies.
The couple talked for over an hour before hanging up.
Song Rongrong put on an eye mask and started to sleep.
This time, after several years, she rekindled that dream.
In her dream, Song Rongrong watched her mother finish arranging Song Xinfu's funeral and saw her brothers in the house shirking their responsibility to support their mother. If they were to support their mother, then it would be Ruyu.
Liu Aimei was cursing loudly outside the shed.
"I've raised Ruyu for so many years and she's still not getting better. I think my wife treats Ruyu better than her own grandson! Song Guomin, I just have one thing to say: you can support your mother, but don't even think about letting Ruyu into my house!"
Song Guomin had a sullen face. There were some things he couldn't say directly. Liu Aimei was his mouthpiece. He glanced at the third and fifth brothers, who were also silent. They both meant the same thing: they could support their mother and give her food, but they couldn't support Ruyu.
Of course, the idea of raising Xu Guiying was just talk.
They didn't really want to support their mother. Once their mother refused to abandon Ruyu, the brothers simply used the excuse of rejecting Ruyu to refuse to support their elderly mother.
Song Rongrong wanted nothing more than to slap the three brothers.
She saw herself in her dream exchanging a few words with Song Yangmin, but they were too far apart for her to hear clearly.
Song Rongrong drifted a little closer.
She heard herself say it.
"Second brother, I know what you mean. If you want to raise Ruyu, I don't object. But you also know that I'm not married and have no family. I have to work during the day, so Ruyu can only be taken care of by Mom. Since Dad passed away, Mom's health has also been poor. If she goes back to selling dumplings at a stall, her body can't take it. How can she take care of Ruyu?"
“I’m speaking from the bottom of my heart. In a few years, we’ll definitely need to hire a caregiver, and we’ll split the cost among ourselves.”
The third son's wife, Jiang Hong, exploded when she heard this.
"Oh my, Song Rongrong, you're rich. We can't compare to you. Your third brother and I are just working for others. Hiring a caregiver costs several thousand a month. Divided among you siblings, it still costs more than a thousand a month. If we add some medical expenses, it can be two thousand a month. Who can afford that?"
Song Rongrong immediately flew into a rage, "Jiang Hong, what do you mean by that? Song Anmin, are you just going to let your wife say such things? Brother, say something, Song Jianmin, are you mute?"
Song Rongrong's mouth was like a machine gun, "You all dress so high and mighty, talking about how miserable you are. Haven't you taken enough chicken, duck and vegetables from your parents over the years? We're not talking about hiring expensive caregivers, but we can find one that costs five or six thousand a month. Besides, Mom can walk now, hiring a caregiver is something for a few years later. What are you all panicking about now?"
The fifth brother's wife, Zhang Qingli, couldn't help but say, "Song Rongrong, you're not married and have no children, so you don't know how expensive it is to run a household. You only care about yourself and not your brothers."
Just as Song Yangmin, who had been silent, was about to speak, Song Rongrong glared at him and said, "Anyway, everyone should share in the responsibility of supporting Mom. Big brother, Dad's compensation money is with you, right?"
"Okay, Song Rongrong, all you're saying is for Dad's money, isn't it?"
...
...
We argued for a long time in my dream.
Floating in mid-air, Song Rongrong watched the people below constantly arguing, the siblings arguing fiercely over Song Xinfu's compensation, Ruyu being pushed by Song Guomin, and Xu Guiying coming out of the house cursing at the group and chasing them all away with a broom.
Seeing this, Song Rongrong banged her head, desperately trying to wake up, but she couldn't.
Everything in the dream continues.
The scene shifts again, and Song Rongrong has no idea how much time has passed.
She saw Xu Guiying taking Ruyu to set up a stall.
She witnessed a scene she never dared to imagine in her life.
She saw Ruyu being pushed, saw Xu Guiying rush to pull Ruyu away but being pushed to the ground, saw those bastards hitting her mother with chairs, saw blood seeping from under Xu Guiying's head, and saw Ruyu lying on the ground, pale as a ghost...
Those people were startled and dropped their chairs and ran away.
A passerby helped call an ambulance and took her to the hospital; the police arrived.
Song Rongrong stared blankly at the scene before her.
He suddenly went berserk and started shouting.
"mom!"
"Mother!"
In her dream, no one could hear Song Rongrong's voice. She kept crying, and it rained. She went to the hospital and saw the Song brothers arguing, revealing the ugly face that Song Rongrong had always despised.
They argued and argued outside the corridor over a mere tens of thousands of yuan in medical expenses.
She saw Qian Yu'an arrive, travel-worn, and entered the ward. She saw Qian Yu'an sitting by the bedside crying and heard her mother's last words to her.
A bad feeling suddenly came over me.
Song Rongrong shook her head, murmuring "no..."
But she couldn't stop anything.
She watched helplessly as her mother finished giving her instructions and then slowly closed her eyes...
