After paying the fees, Liu Haizhong and his son waited anxiously outside the operating room, while Yi Zhonghai arrived at the hospital with representatives from the local police station and the neighborhood committee.
He had been worried about finding a way to deal with the Jia and Liu families. Now that they had presented him with such leverage, he couldn't afford to miss this golden opportunity.
"Comrade, it was this father and son who beat a pregnant woman named Qin Huairu, causing her to give birth prematurely. Qin Huairu is probably already in the operating room."
Upon hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, the police station and neighborhood committee immediately arrested Liu Haizhong and his son. No matter the circumstances, assaulting a pregnant woman is a heinous crime.
No matter how Liu Haizhong and his son explained, the neighborhood committee and the police station had no intention of releasing them. Even knowing they were family, such a thing was not allowed.
At that moment, the nurse ran out of the operating room again.
"You need to come over and sign this document immediately. Qin Huairu suffered severe bleeding, and the baby was born with signs of suffocation. Although she has undergone emergency treatment, there is still a possibility that the baby could die at any time."
"Qin Huairu has fallen into a coma due to severe bleeding. We will only know the specific details after Qin Huairu wakes up."
The nurse's words were like a death knell, startling both Liu Haizhong and his son. If their child died, they would be murderers. Especially with Qin Huairu still unconscious.
No matter how much he regretted it, Liu Guangqi could only sign the papers quickly. After signing, Liu Haizhong and his son were taken back to the police station, while Yi Zhonghai happily returned to the courtyard house.
Yi Zhonghai felt he had a particularly comfortable New Year. His two enemies were basically crippled. In any case, Liu Haizhong and his son probably wouldn't get out easily this time.
Qin Huairu, who had suffered a massive hemorrhage, would likely be severely weakened even if she woke up. But once back in the courtyard house, Yi Zhonghai's mood soured. Comparison is always odious; seeing others happily celebrating the New Year while his own life was utterly miserable, how could Yi Zhonghai possibly feel good?
Hearing the child cry made Yi Zhonghai even more depressed. With a gloomy expression, he returned to the backyard and went straight to bed.
"Zhonghai, how's the situation with Liu Haizhong's family?"
When the topic of his bangs came up, Yi Zhonghai's mood improved somewhat.
"Grandma, Liu Haizhong and his son have been arrested by the police. Qin Huairu is still unconscious due to severe bleeding. The baby in Qin Huairu's womb seems to be suffocating. As for what will happen in the future, we'll have to see how it goes. In any case, Liu Haizhong and his son are really in big trouble this time, and Qin Huairu will also be severely weakened."
Hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, the deaf old lady was in a better mood. She smiled slightly and lay down on the bed like Yi Zhonghai. Only Gu Chunyan in the entire courtyard couldn't sleep. (Liu Haizhong's wife changed her name; previously she was called Zhao Lili, but today all her names have been changed to Gu Chunyan.)
Because her husband and son still hadn't returned. Not everyone is educated; many can't even write their own names. Don't expect much knowledge from these people. In Gu Chunyan's eyes, this was merely a family matter for the Liu family. Even if Qin Huairu was beaten to death, it wouldn't matter much; at worst, they could just bury her.
Besides, Qin Huairu wasn't in any major problems when she left; she only bled a little. The foolish Wu Chunyan only started to worry the next day at noon, because under normal circumstances, her husband and son should have returned long ago.
Desperate to find out about her husband and son, Gu Chunyan immediately left the courtyard house. Upon arriving at the hospital, she inquired about her husband and son, but after asking for a long time, she couldn't get any clear information. Finally, she had no choice but to inquire about Qin Huairu's situation.
While it was impossible to find out about Liu Haizhong and his son, it wasn't difficult to inquire about Qin Huairu's situation. This was because Qin Huairu's child was still in critical condition.
Only then did everyone realize that Gu Chunyan was inquiring about Qin Huairu. News of last night's events had already spread throughout the hospital; even during the Lunar New Year, there were still people hospitalized.
It was only from other people that Gu Chunyan realized the seriousness of the situation. The thought that her son and husband might go to jail or even be executed immediately made Gu Chunyan panic.
She immediately went to the obstetrics and gynecology department, searching everywhere for Qin Huairu's whereabouts. This matter required Qin Huairu's approval no matter what. If she could obtain Qin Huairu's forgiveness, perhaps her husband and son would not be punished.
Upon entering the ward, Gu Chunyan was surprised to see that Qin Huairu was accompanied by people from the neighborhood committee and the police station. This instantly diminished Gu Chunyan's imposing aura.
“Huai Ru, your husband and father-in-law have been taken away by the police. You should quickly plead with them to release Guang Qi and the others.”
“Gu Chunyan, those two almost killed my daughter and me. I can never forgive them. I will make them pay for this. Besides, this isn’t the first time they’ve hit me.”
Upon hearing Qin Huairu's words, Gu Chunyan's expression turned ferocious again, and she almost rushed over to teach Qin Huairu a lesson.
"You're still a daughter-in-law of the Liu family, do you really want to ruin our family? What good would that do you?"
Hearing Gu Chunyan's words, Qin Huairu's smile was utterly pathetic. If Gu Chunyan had said this to Qin Huairu when she had just married Liu Guangqi, she might have actually compromised, because Qin Huairu still had hope for the Liu family. But after all this time, Qin Huairu had long since seen through the Liu family.
If he didn't teach them a lesson, the Liu family would continue to beat him. But if he taught them too harsh a lesson, it wouldn't be worth it for him. Once Liu Guangqi was expelled from school, he wouldn't amount to much in the future, which didn't meet his expectations at all.
Especially since her daughter is still under observation. Anyone would feel sorry for their child. Torn between her own plans and her child, Qin Huairu was at a loss for what to do.
At that moment, the nurse came in carrying the baby and gently placed the child next to Qin Huairu.
"After one night, your child's condition has stabilized. But your child has been through a near-death experience, and was premature. You must pay attention to your nutrition, otherwise your child may be weak and sickly in the future."
Upon hearing the nurse's words, Qin Huairu immediately expressed her gratitude profusely, having already made up her mind. Since her child wasn't seriously injured, she couldn't let the matter escalate.
The police station and neighborhood committee officials are all here now. Even if Qin Huairu had something on her mind, she couldn't say it. Fortunately, Qin Huairu was clever enough; after holding the child for a while, she started pretending to be asleep. And before long, Qin Huairu actually fell asleep.
Qin Huairu, who had just suffered a major hemorrhage yesterday, was indeed very weak. The people from the neighborhood committee and the police station didn't have time to spare and stayed by her side all day. Seeing that Qin Huairu had slowly fallen asleep, they left immediately.
Qin Huairu slept for more than two hours. When she woke up, she discussed terms with Gu Chunyan.
"What would it take to get them to drop the matter?"
"What do you want me to do to stop pursuing those two? Do they even know they almost killed me and my daughter?"
"The reason things turned out this way is entirely your own fault. If you hadn't plotted against Guangqi, how could things have turned out this way?"
"Since you put it that way, then there's no point in discussing this matter. Just wait for your husband and son to rot in jail! See if your two remaining sons will support you; they might not even be able to support themselves."
Upon hearing Qin Huairu's words, Gu Chunyan immediately became anxious. She had already inquired about the possible punishments her husband and son might face.
“Tell me your conditions! But it’s best not to go too far. People can do anything when they’re pushed to the limit. Don’t forget, your son is still in the courtyard house. Children that age are very vulnerable to accidents. If your son gets really hungry and goes to steal something, he’ll end up in there with you.”
Hearing Gu Chunyan threaten her with her son, Qin Huairu was somewhat flustered. She knew her mischievous son well enough to know that if someone really wanted to scheme against him, he would easily fall for it. It seemed she needed to discipline Bang Geng properly.
“My demands are not high. I just want 500 yuan of my own savings and a promise from Liu Haizhong and his son. As long as they promise not to lay a hand on me or my child again, I will let this matter go.”
“I could even tell the police and the neighborhood committee that I accidentally fell. If I said that, they would be punished, but not too severely. You can think about it yourself: trading 500 yuan and a promise for their future.”
