Chapter 200 Lin Dahai noticed
"I'm telling you, you idiot, are you out of your mind? You won't raise your own son, but you want to raise your nephew. If you ask me, it was your nephew who hired people to beat you up, just so you could retire. You're such a stupid, clueless fool..."
The elderly woman standing by the window muttered her opinions on the matter.
After the old lady spoke, the others in the ward all agreed and echoed her sentiments.
“I sensed something was off about your nephew this morning. When you suggested that his wife go to work at the factory first, his face darkened and became quite frightening.”
"Fellow villager, your nephew looks fierce. You'd better be careful in the future."
…
The people in the ward chatted amongst themselves, and although Lin Dahai remained silent, he took everything they said to heart.
He also remembered what Lu Jianxi had said after lunch yesterday afternoon.
Last night, Lu Jianxi suggested he retire early, but he refused, and then this morning he was beaten up…
The scales in my heart have begun to tip.
When Zhao Dongmei came in again, Lin Dahai asked, "What was Jianxi like at his stepfather's house before?"
As soon as he finished speaking, seven or eight pairs of eyes in the ward turned to look at him.
Under the watchful eyes of so many people, Zhao Dongmei was too nervous to speak. Even if she could speak, she wouldn't dare to speak ill of Lu Jianxi. If Lu Jianxi found out, he would definitely beat her to death.
Zhao Dongmei shook her head and remained silent, looking like a wronged person.
Lin Dahai noticed the unusual situation in the ward, propped himself up to sit up, and said to Zhao Dongmei, "Let's go out for some fresh air."
Once they reached a secluded spot, Lin Dahai said, "Tell me, and I promise I won't tell him."
After spending two months together, Zhao Dongmei felt that Lin Dahai was much better than Lu Jianxi.
When Lu Jianxi hit her, Lin Dahai would try to stop him, and she has been hit less often in the past two months.
She believed Lin Dahai's words.
"He has a terrible temper and has never done any real work. If he's in a bad mood or someone doesn't do what he wants, he'll hit them. Nobody in the family dares to mess with him. His dad gave his job to his older brother, and he caused a scene at home, beating his dad so badly he had to be hospitalized..."
The "father" Zhao Dongmei was referring to was naturally Lu Jianxi's stepfather.
Lin Dahai felt conflicted after hearing this.
Before the New Year, he had heard from his cousin that Lu Jianxi was no good, but his uncle said that the boy's biological father had died early, and his stepfather treated him badly, so he was quite pitiful...
At that time, he had a preconceived notion that if Lu Jianxi didn't stand up for himself, he would be bullied by his stepfather's family. Even if his reputation wasn't good, it was still a good thing that he didn't have to suffer losses.
But now…
Lin Dahai said, "I can't go to the factory right now. You can work there for now. Go find our director; he lives in the factory's staff quarters. You can easily find him by asking around. Once I'm better, I'll go ask him where they're hiring temporary workers..."
Zhao Dongmei felt grateful.
Compared to Lu Jianxi, Lin Dahai had a better temper, and because of her, he even divorced Zhang Cui.
In Zhao Dongmei's heart, Lin Dahai is the best person.
The two reached an agreement.
When Lu Jianxi came over that evening, Lin Dahai saw him again and felt a little scared.
But he also felt that as an elder and the closest person to Lu Jianxi, he had some face in Lu Jianxi's eyes. Maybe Zhang Cui didn't want him to have a good life and said that on purpose.
He said, "Let Dongmei do the work for now. Once I'm better, I'll try to find you both better jobs."
Despite his composure, Lu Jianxi, mindful of the large number of people in the hospital, did not lose his temper.
I'll come see you again tomorrow!
Lu Jianxi thought the old man was very cunning, and also felt that Zhao Dongmei was in the way.
If it weren't for Zhao Dongmei, the job would definitely have been his.
He began to regret that he hadn't interrupted Lin Dahai's hand.
Lin Dahai's face darkened as Lu Jianxi was about to leave.
He felt increasingly likely that Lu Jianxi had hired someone to beat him.
When Lu Jianxi got home, he beat Zhao Dongmei up.
Without Lin Dahai's intervention, Zhao Dongmei was beaten exceptionally badly this time.
Zhao Dongmei, lying on the ground, said, "Zhang Cui went there today. I heard her at the door say that the person who beat me was someone you hired. You just wanted to get his job. What's the point of you beating me? Your uncle already suspects it was you. He definitely won't give you the job!"
After saying that, Lu Jianxi stopped.
"Damn it, that bitch is always picking on me! She's a damn bastard, I'll teach her a lesson!"
Zhao Dongmei, who was in pain all over her body, got up and huddled in a corner, barely daring to breathe. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he had shifted his attention.
Lu Jianxi sat on the bench with his legs spread apart, his eyes darting around.
Lin Dahai has already been beaten up; the deed is done, and the goal must be achieved.
Zhang Cui, that woman who opposed her, also needs to be dealt with severely.
Seeing Zhao Dongmei huddled in the corner, Lu Jianxi had an idea and sneered.
Zhao Dongmei shivered, shrinking her body.
Once the old man is discharged from the hospital, we'll teach him a lesson.
As for Zhang Cui, that woman who dared to ruin his plans, hmph…
…
Shicheng Hospital.
Song Lubai brought a bag of brown sugar, a bag of brown sugar biscuits, and a can of food to visit Chen Weiliang today.
Brown sugar coupons and canned food coupons can be exchanged. Brown sugar biscuits cost one yuan and three cents and do not require coupons.
The journey was long and the train fare was expensive, so Chen Weiliang's parents came.
After half a month of treatment, Chen Weiliang's condition is much better than when he was first sent to the hospital.
When Song Lubai entered the ward, Chen Weiliang was sitting on the bed drinking noodle soup.
His parents sat to one side, their faces full of worry.
After exchanging pleasantries, Mr. and Mrs. Chen finally learned who Song Lubai was.
Noticing their strange looks, Song Lubai said naturally, "Comrade Chen, when my partner and I came here last time, you said you wanted me to look after your family when they arrived. Do your uncle and aunt have a place to stay now? If not, I'll try to think of a way."
Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Chen looked surprised.
It turns out this girl already has a boyfriend.
Chen's mother said, "We have a place to stay now. His father is staying in Weiliang's dormitory, and I am staying in the hospital. We don't need to look for another place."
Song Lubai nodded. "Come find me again if you need anything. We're from the same hometown, and I'll definitely help if I can. It's getting dark, so I have to go back now. I'll come see you again next time."
Chen Weiliang nodded.
Chen Weiliang has been hospitalized for half a month, and Song Lubai has only visited twice.
She didn't know the situation between Chen Weiliang, Yang Lizhen, and Wang Yang, and didn't want to get too involved and get herself into trouble.
In the hospital ward, Mr. and Mrs. Chen felt sorry for each other.
What a wonderful girl! She seems to have a good temper and is capable of handling things. How come she already has a boyfriend?
Not long after Song Lubai left, Yang Lizhen arrived carrying a lunchbox containing chicken soup.
Mr. and Mrs. Chen did not give her a friendly look when they saw her.
They already knew the general outline of what had happened from their son.
The son was beaten like this entirely because of this woman's indiscretion.
Seeing the expressions on Mr. and Mrs. Chen's faces, Yang Lizhen bit her lip, looking embarrassed. She put the chicken soup lunchbox on the table and said, "I've skimmed off all the oil. Uncle and Aunt, you should all have some."
No one paid her any attention. As usual, she lowered her head, put down her things, and left.
Chen's mother spat and turned her head away.
