The girl stared at her intently, and after a few seconds, decisively uttered a single word.
"Fine! I'll give you back your life!"
After saying that, he turned and ran towards the other end of the corridor. Caught off guard, Cheng Yuanshan and the others didn't expect it, and by the time they tried to stop him, it was too late.
With a loud thud, the girl's frail body slammed heavily against the wall at the end of the wall. Blood gushed from her forehead, blooming on the mottled wall before dripping onto the ground. She then collapsed limply to the ground.
The corridor fell silent for a moment, as if a pause button had been pressed. A few seconds later, screams pierced the eardrums, and then it became noisy again.
The patients and their families in the ward were also quite shocked. Jian Dan and Mingzhu exchanged a glance, their faces pale, clearly indicating that something had happened.
Jian got up simply and gave Mingzhu some instructions.
"You watch her, I'll go check on her,"
Mingzhu knew her own limitations. With things so chaotic outside, her small frame really wasn't very useful; she couldn't do much, and might even make things worse.
"Okay, please be very careful and protect yourself if anything happens."
Outside the door, Cheng Yuanshan, having finally realized what was happening, was so angry he was itching to get out of there. Ignoring everything else, he ran over there, giving instructions to the baby-faced boy behind him.
"Quickly call a doctor."
In the corridor, there were few ordinary patients; almost all of them were the girls who had been rescued and their parents. Seeing this, they were bound to be flustered, but their previous arrogance and tantrums were also calmed down considerably, and their hearts were pounding.
The corridor fell silent for a moment. The parents, who had just been making threats, were also frightened and leaned against the wall, not daring to utter a sound. Over the years, she had become increasingly displeased with her child. If she was in a bad mood, she would beat him. If her mother-in-law said something, she would scold him. If she was unhappy outside, she would come home and kick him a few times. Sometimes, she would even find a reason to hit him when it was windy or rainy.
She was used to scolding him and never imagined that the child would actually try to kill himself.
That being said is one thing, but when a life is at stake, anyone's heart would tremble.
Some people are feudalistic and sometimes believe in things, so they are afraid of being punished for their words.
Moreover, one's life is also at risk of being claimed in the middle of the night.
Two quick-thinking police officers followed behind Cheng Yuanshan, and Ling Weidong also followed behind to see if he could lend a hand.
Since it was a hospital, the doctor arrived quickly and immediately carried the person inside for emergency treatment.
Straightening up, Cheng Yuanshan's face was ashen. He stared at the trembling people in the crowd, his teeth chattering. He didn't want to offer any advice.
"You are killing people."
Many people in the crowd turned pale instantly, while those who had just been yelling at her to die suddenly perked up.
"Who said that? I gave birth to her. She can only live if I let her live, and she has to die if I want her to die."
"I gave her her life, so she has to listen to me."
He seemed to be insane. As soon as he said this, not only the police officers, but also the police officers, clearly thought in their eyes, "Is he an idiot?"
Even the other parents in the hallway unconsciously stepped back, hoping to stay away from her.
Putting aside other things, although the policy of gender equality is not widely implemented, the principle of "a life for a life" has existed since ancient times. Although in remote mountainous rural areas, newborn girls who are not wanted are sometimes sent to the mountains, abandoned, or even strangled or drowned, it is truly remarkable that this person can openly say such things.
Although they also favored sons over daughters and treated their daughters badly, it was just a minor affliction; no one actually intended to kill them.
Immediately, someone asked, half-sarcastically,
"Hey, are you a landlady? Even landladys aren't this domineering!"
Some people echoed this sentiment.
"Isn't that right? Let alone a landlady, even a capitalist wouldn't be this unreasonable!"
The fact that they were able to get here so quickly means they weren't too far from the commune, or even as remote as Liujiatun. They couldn't possibly be unaware of what was happening in the commune.
What time is this?
When a single word can take a life, or destroy a family, then the landlady and the capitalist are the most taboo of all. Who would dare to answer?
The couple were so frightened their legs went weak, and they kept explaining.
Cheng Yuanshan, who was not far away, sighed. This was the norm in the countryside. Even if they managed to take the people back, it was only a matter of time before word got out that even their own family members didn't treat them like human beings. Another tragedy was bound to happen.
Unfortunately, that's all they can do. They can warn and educate, but they really can't interfere much in other people's family matters. Hopefully, this incident will make them behave for a while.
When Jian Dan came out, the person had just been wheeled into the operating room. She stood at the door for a long time, her mind racing with thoughts.
What are you thinking about?
Ling Weidong helped carry her upstairs, patting his cotton-padded coat. Seeing that she remained silent, he assumed something was wrong inside.
"Are you all packed? I'll go check the car; we'll leave in a bit."
A simple, perfunctory nod.
"OK."
"Uncle Cheng, how will they arrange things?"
Besides these parents, there were more than a dozen others who were tricked into coming on the train. It was Tan Yajun's quick thinking that saved them from being taken away.
"Little Jian, the educated youth, sigh, we still need to keep in touch."
Some of them were educated youth sent to the countryside, which was fine; they just needed to contact the local authorities to receive them and send them over.
Some were actually scammed from elsewhere, and even more outrageous, some couldn't even give their own home address.
Some rural girls have never left their hometowns in their entire lives, so they can't even name their own village, let alone the name of the next level commune or county town.
Speaking of this, Cheng Yuanshan was very worried. Catching the human traffickers was a good thing, but the follow-up handling was really giving him a headache.
"By the way, how's your friend? He's been so busy. I haven't been home for days. Why don't you go out and have some fun? Grandma's been nagging you, but you never go."
A simple smile.
"I have some relatives visiting, and I can't come out for a while. Uncle, please give my regards to Grandma Cheng. I'll visit her after the New Year when I have time."
Seeing what Cheng Yuanshan was about to say, I quickly changed the subject.
"Uncle, were they all deceived by human traffickers?"
Cheng Yuanshan was taken aback, slowly shook his head, and turned to look at Jian Dan with a hint of sympathy or pity.
Simple,"???"
What does this mean?
"Some were scammed, some were drugged, a few were betrayed by friends, and a few were sold by relatives or family members."
It's a bit complicated, I just suddenly looked up.
"Uncle, you mean, she, my friend, she, was... by her family..."
She couldn't even bring herself to say what followed. She was genuinely shocked. There really were parents and relatives like that. Her own flesh and blood—blood is thicker than water, but this was definitely the attitude one would have towards an enemy!
A familiar voice came from behind.
"Yes, it's me."
