Chapter 34 Settling Accounts
Li Guangming's aunt, Aunt Li, was speechless after Song Lubai said something that left her speechless.
After she realized what had happened, she excitedly grabbed Song Lubai and said, "So it was you last night! Tell me what happened."
After meeting with the police, Li Guangming remained in a deep sleep. The Li family learned what had happened from the police, but they only got a general idea.
Song Lubai shook her head: "I don't know what happened to him. When I saw him last night, he had already fallen into the ditch and had an accident. I only know that there were five people hiding in the ditch. Those people may be the ones who harmed him."
Mentioning this, Aunt Li gritted her teeth in hatred, "Your sister-in-law's family are a bunch of heartless, rotten animals!"
Mentioning Liu Mei, Aunt Li glared fiercely at Song Lubai, her tone agitated, "I just can't believe that Guangming's rural outreach program has anything to do with you, how could you not know?"
Song Lubai asked, annoyed, "What exactly should I know?"
She knew the reason why Li Guangming went to the countryside, but that didn't mean she had to honestly tell him the truth so that the Li family would hate her too.
This matter had nothing to do with her in the first place.
Li Guangming himself didn't say anything, so she didn't cause trouble for herself.
After this incident, she and Li Guangming will probably have no further contact.
As long as people are alive and well, that's enough.
"Auntie, I want to go see him and ask him what happened yesterday."
Aunt Li sneered, "What are you still looking at? It's all your family's fault that he's like this. He almost died. Luckily, he was taken to the hospital in time."
Song Lubai could understand her current feelings, but she still couldn't help feeling irritable.
"What does this have to do with my family? Auntie, you'd better explain yourself clearly."
“If I hadn’t seen you at the hospital and wanted to introduce you to Guangming, he definitely wouldn’t have gone to the countryside for no reason, and he certainly wouldn’t have been schemed against by Liu Mei’s family.”
When she looked at Song Lubai again, she no longer had the kind and loving feeling she had when looking at her future niece-in-law; instead, she looked at her as if she were an enemy.
"Your sister-in-law's family tricked Guangming into going to the countryside, made him drink a lot of alcohol, and wanted her niece to have sex with him. After Guangming sobered up, he wanted to run away. How could he not get into trouble after drinking?"
Song Lubai truly hadn't expected the inside story to be like this.
That's outrageous.
But it also seems like something Liu Mei would do.
Liu Mei is truly bold and decisive.
"Tell me, does this have anything to do with you? Did you lie to Guangming?"
Song Lubai's good temper came to an end, and she immediately said, "Whoever did this despicable thing, may their whole family die."
Aunt Li, who was very excited, stared at her speechlessly.
This is not what she expected.
Song Lubai originally came to the hospital to find out the situation. Now that she knew and Li Guangming was out of danger, she naturally turned around and left.
What are we still doing here? Listening to Aunt Li's upsetting words?
She hadn't done anything wrong; she had done her best to keep Li Guangming alive, so she wouldn't get involved in what happened next. However, the score that needed to be settled should still be settled by her mother with Liu Mei's family.
When Aunt Li returned to the ward and saw that Li Guangming had woken up, a smile of surprise appeared on her face.
Li Guangming's parents and siblings were all wiping away tears.
"Stop crying, it's a good thing that he's awake, why are you all crying?"
Looking at Li Guangming's pale and bloodless face, Aunt Li said with heartache, "You've suffered so much. It will take you a long time to recover. Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
Li Guangming said weakly, "I'm still a little dizzy and weak all over, but I'm much better than before. I'm fine, so don't worry."
Aunt Li was filled with remorse: "It's all my fault this time. If I hadn't tried to find you a match, you wouldn't have suffered like this. Guangming, why did you go to the countryside yesterday?"
Li Guangming's expression darkened: "I was just bored and thought I'd go take a look, but I never expected..."
He knew that if he revealed the reason for going to the countryside, his family would no longer want him to be in a relationship with Song Lubai, and might even blame Song Lubai for it.
He had realized that Song Lubai was unaware of what happened yesterday, and that he had been deceived.
"Dad, Mom, Aunt, if it weren't for Song Lubai and the others yesterday, I might not be alive to see you again..."
He did not lose consciousness after falling from the car, but the position on which he was pinned down prevented him from moving or making a sound. In reality, his mind was perfectly clear and he was still aware of his surroundings.
He only lost consciousness completely when he started bleeding more and more and realized he was being rescued.
He quietly recounted what the Liu family had heard and their reaction after he fell off the car, which enraged the Li family.
The Li family threatened to settle scores with Liu Mei's family.
Li Guangming said, "I've already told the police, and they'll deal with them."
Aunt Li clapped her hands in anger, gritting her teeth: "You're still alive and well, and they can't be dragged away and executed. At most, they'll be sentenced to a few years of labor reform. How can things be so easy! I want to bite them to death! How come I didn't see that Liu Mei was that kind of person back then!"
"No wonder, no wonder she called her niece from her family when I was in the hospital and helped me with this and that. It turns out she had that plan all along."
"It's all my fault. If I weren't stupid, I wouldn't have ruined Guangming like this."
The Li family hated Liu Mei's family with a vengeance. Li Guangming's father had a gloomy face and his fists were clenched tightly.
While the Li family was still furious, Li Guangming and the others, pale-faced, fell silent. He said as if in a daze, "Dad, Mom, Aunt, you have to thank the people who saved me for me. If it weren't for them, I would have been harmed by the Liu family."
Li Guangming's father reassured her, "Don't worry, I will thank everyone who needs to be thanked. Our family is not the kind of people who are ungrateful."
Aunt Li looked at Li Guangming with a worried expression.
This child is such a worry; even lying here, he's still thinking about Song Lubai.
How is this brain of yours designed?
Song Lubai prepared dinner at home and waited for her mother to come home from get off work.
Lin Dahai's workplace is far away, and he always gets home about twenty minutes later than Zhang Cui after get off work.
After hearing Song Lubai's words, Zhang Cui almost smashed the enamel mug.
"That Liu Mei, that heartless bastard! I thought she'd been behaving herself lately, but it turns out she's up to her old tricks again. She's certainly got a good plan..."
Zhang Cui's chest heaved violently with anger. When Lin Dahai entered the room, the chipped enamel mug still smashed in front of him.
At this moment, Song Lubai had already retreated back into the house, listening quietly to the battle situation.
Lin Dahai was attacked by an enamel mug as soon as he entered the door, and his face fell as soon as he closed the door.
"What are you doing?"
What did I do to offend you?
Her temper is getting worse and worse!
Zhang Cui wanted to yell and curse, but when she thought about how the tenement building wasn't soundproof, she forced herself to lower her voice.
After recounting what Liu Mei and her family had done, she looked at Lin Dahai with a sneer, "Tell me, does Lin Shuhong know about this? Did he participate in it? Or do you know about it too, and are you planning to use my daughter to do something big? How many times has this happened? You bastard, you're up to no good!"
Lin Dahai immediately retorted, "What does it have to do with me!"
Seeing the fierce look in Zhang Cui's eyes, he jumped up and added, "If I knew about this, I wouldn't be my mother's child."
