Chapter 107 Lin Shuhong's Plans
Lin Shuhong sat slumped on the ground, her eyes vacant and lifeless, staring blankly as Liu Mei, pale-faced and weak, approached.
Liu Mei was extremely weak due to excessive blood loss, but her mind was even weaker than her body.
"Shuhong, please don't do this, I'm scared..."
Liu Mei's pale lips trembled as she mustered the courage to say those words, but she could no longer utter a complete sentence.
Lin Shuhong, lost in thought, seemed not to hear.
When the nurse saw Liu Mei get out of bed, she yelled, "Liu Mei, you can't get out of bed yet. Go back to bed and you need an IV drip."
Seeing Lin Shuhong's appearance, the nurse shook her head inwardly.
Which man could accept this?
When Liu Mei was brought here by the person in charge of guarding the adobe factory, she was almost dead from excessive blood loss.
Fearing someone might die, the team leader quickly sent someone to fetch Liu Mei's husband, Lin Shuhong.
The woman nearly died from severe bleeding due to a miscarriage. If word got out, it would be too unfriendly to the guards. The organization would investigate, and all the guards would suffer, even though the incident was not their responsibility at all.
When they brought the people in, the medical staff at the clinic looked at them strangely.
Left with no other option, the captain had to reveal to the outside world that Liu Mei had previously escaped.
When the medical staff saw Lin Shuhong rushing over with her child, they were so distraught when they heard that Liu Mei had miscarried that they collapsed to the ground.
No matter how people called him, he was unresponsive.
Liu Mei is lucky; she survived by sheer willpower.
When she woke up and saw her daughter standing by the bed, and heard her daughter say that her father was outside, Liu Mei's mental state collapsed.
Why is it that she is the one who was hurt, and now she is the one who has to bear the consequences?
Mingming suffered severe bleeding when she gave birth to her youngest son, and the doctor said she might not be able to have children again.
How could this be! How could she be pregnant again?
God is playing a cruel joke on her!
She regretted it.
The team leader came to visit Liu Mei as usual today. Seeing Lin Shuhong's condition, he went up to her and whispered, "She didn't want to go through that either. You still have children..."
Lin Shuhong looked up at the captain with red eyes.
He wanted to know how he could say those words so casually! If he could just let it go so easily, he wouldn't be suffering so much!
"Don't you bear any responsibility? If your guard hadn't been so lax, how could she have escaped so easily? If you had caught her in time, she wouldn't have suffered so much."
The captain was speechless.
They were indeed negligent in this matter, but shouldn't Liu Mei bear the greatest responsibility?
Oh well, he was the one who talked too much.
Lin Shuhong is now at a crossroads in her life.
When Liu Mei was sent here, he resolutely followed her without any hesitation.
At that moment, he knew perfectly well that Liu Mei was in a weak state and needed his care, but he couldn't convince himself not to care.
In a short period of time, the knot in his heart grew into a heavy weight pressing on his chest, making it hard for him to breathe.
Lin Jinyao quietly approached Lin Shuhong. "Dad, why don't you go see Mom?"
Lin Shuhong sighed silently, stood up, and entered the ward like a walking corpse.
When Liu Mei saw him, her eyes lit up and tears welled up in her eyes.
"If you don't want me anymore, I'll die, waaaaah..."
Lin Shuhong stared blankly, saying nothing.
Liu Mei covered her face and cried even louder.
Lin Shuhong's heart was paler than the walls of the hospital room.
He felt that everything had lost its meaning.
Liu Mei's cries were in his ears, but he shut them out of his heart.
Liu Mei seemed to say a lot, but Lin Shuhong, who was in a daze, didn't hear a word of it.
Lin Shuhong only came to her senses after Lin Jinyao was slapped by Liu Mei.
He watched as Liu Mei hysterically yelled at Lin Jinyao: "Don't you dare call her aunt! You don't have that aunt! You good-for-nothing! How could I have given birth to such a worthless thing like you!"
Lin Shuhong pulled the child close, her face stern, and asked, "Why are you hitting the child! How dare you hit the child!"
Liu Mei, provoked by the disdain in his eyes, laughed and cried at the same time, looking both crazy and miserable. "If it weren't for her, I would have almost escaped! I wouldn't have had to come back to suffer like this! It's all her fault, all her fault! She ruined me!"
Lin Shuhong frowned and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Liu Mei's mouth muscles twitched, and tears and snot streamed down her face. "I ran into her at the Sixth Branch Farm before. I could have pretended to be a vagrant and escaped, instead of being sent back to the adobe factory. I begged her not to expose my identity for your sake, but she immediately told others that I was a fugitive. She doesn't respect you at all. My family's misfortune is all because of her."
The more Liu Mei talked, the angrier she became. She even started hitting Lin Shuhong: "It's all your fault for being such a meddlesome sister! My family is in this state because of your family!"
Lin Shuhong pushed her away and pushed the weak Liu Mei back onto the hospital bed.
He said in an unfriendly tone, "It's your family's fault, how can you blame others?"
Liu Mei stared at him in disbelief, her eyes wide.
Lin Shuhong had always been on her side and her family's side.
Lin Shuhong pulled the child to her feet and asked coldly, "Where did you meet Song Lubai?"
Liu Mei, puzzled, asked, "What are you going to do?"
Lin Shuhong said emotionlessly, "I'll help you settle the accounts."
Liu Mei believed it without a doubt, her eyes shining with joy, "It seems to be the 25th Company of the Sixth Division."
Lin Shuhong nodded and said coldly, "You can stay here and recover."
He didn't say he would come to see her again, nor did he sever their relationship.
Liu Mei watched helplessly as his figure disappeared through the doorway.
Outside the clinic, Lin Jinyao looked up at Lin Shuhong and asked, "Dad, are we going to find Auntie?"
Lin Shuhong nodded. "I'll send you to her place. You'll be living with her from now on. Are you willing?"
Lin Jinyao bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes: "You don't want me anymore?"
Lin Shuhong shook her head, squatted down and said, "It's inconvenient for you and me to live here. The dormitory is full of men, and I don't have time to take care of you every day. This can't go on."
Lin Shuhong was telling the truth. She had just found a job here and hadn't had time to send Lin Jinyao to school yet.
There was a school at the farm headquarters, but his engineering team's work location was not fixed, so he had no time to take care of Lin Jinyao.
In other words, Lin Jinyao is still young, so she can postpone going back to school for another year or two.
He went to work as a laborer on the construction team, and Lin Jinyao went with him. Once there, they had to stay in the dusty place for about thirteen or fourteen hours. They couldn't eat well and had nowhere to rest. They suffered every day.
He didn't want to deal with Liu Mei anymore, and Lin Jinyao couldn't suffer with him any longer.
He can't continue working hard on the construction team. He'll wait until he's recovered and settled down before bringing his child back.
Lin Jinyao wasn't too young to understand anything, and she hesitated before saying, "My aunt probably doesn't want me to go to her, right?"
Lin Shuhong was well aware of this, but he had no choice at the moment.
"I'm going to find her, you don't need to worry about it."
