Xu Ruantang was a little annoyed that she could encounter such a dramatic scene while having a meal.
The only man downstairs was Xu Hanli. If he had stood downstairs to answer the call, there would have been some protection.
But when Xu Ruantang turned around, he was actually passed out! Despite the commotion, he didn't wake up even while lying face down on the table.
The women had already laid out several layers of quilts and brought out everything they could find in the house.
But the blanket is only so wide, and no one can guarantee that the child will fall onto it.
“It’s my fault, so take it out on me, okay?” Lu Shishen was still trying to communicate with Wang Xiuxiu.
Wang Xiuxiu's parents arrived late and were so shocked by what they saw that they almost fell to the ground.
"Xiuxiu, Xiaozhao is your son, you can't do this."
"Yes, Xiuxiu, listen to your mother, quickly take the child down."
As Wang Xiuxiu's mother spoke, tears streamed down her face.
Wang Xiuxiu's father's face was gloomy. He felt that they had spoiled their daughter, which led to today's farce. He was filled with remorse.
Wang Xiuxiu wouldn't listen. "Lu Shishen, it's too late, far too late."
Her whole life was ruined by this man.
If she had known it would end like this, she shouldn't have loved him in the first place, and she shouldn't have desperately tried to give him a son.
“I gave birth to this son, and now I’m taking him with me.”
She wants to take back all her love for Lu Shishen and make this man suffer unbearable pain.
Lu Shishen stepped forward. "No, you can't take Xiao Zhao away!"
A gasp rippled through the crowd downstairs. Wang Xiuxiu's hand slipped, and half of Lu Xiaozhao's body sank downwards.
If you were sitting on the railing just now, now only your feet are still on it!
"Why not?! Lu Shishen, I risked my life to give birth to this child! I was the one who carried it! How much have you ever cared?!"
Everyone's saying I'm not fit to be a mother, but what about you?! What kind of father are you?!
Wang Xiuxiu screamed until she was hoarse, her love turning into hatred in the end, making it even more unforgettable.
"Is it all my fault? If you had refused to budge from the start and hadn't married me under duress, would we have gotten to where we are today?"
"If you had married me back then and been willing to accept me, would I have forced myself on you?"
"If you... if you had shown me even the slightest bit of care after I got pregnant, could we have ended up like this?"
Every word Wang Xiuxiu uttered was an accusation against Lu Shishen's crimes.
No one understands that indifference can sometimes be a deadly weapon. She was pierced through the heart by this weapon day after day, until her heart died.
In the end, everyone felt it was her fault, and even cheered because of her departure.
She wasn't like this before; she's only in her early twenties.
"Lu Shishen, I will make you pay the price, and spend the rest of your life in regret and pain!"
After Wang Xiuxiu finished speaking, she decisively let go.
Then, before anyone could react, he jumped over the railing and fell to the ground.
Screams erupted downstairs. Upstairs, Lu Shishen was the first to react. He reached out to grab Lu Xiaozhao, but missed.
When Wang Xiuxiu said those words, Xu Ruantang seemed to suddenly have superpowers and foresaw what was going to happen next.
Perhaps it's because I've watched too many melodramatic videos, but when the melodramatic events from novels actually happen before my eyes, the impact is magnified tens of thousands of times.
She closed her eyes weakly, silently repeating in her heart, "Let go of the desire to help others and respect their fate!"
I repeated it countless times until a scream erupted.
"Ugh, why me again!"
After silently shouting in her heart, she rushed downstairs and caught Lu Xiaozhao as she fell.
It's fortunate that she caught the child; otherwise, if the child had fallen to a slightly off-center spot, his head would definitely have hit the ground.
"The Chen family's daughter-in-law!"
"Sister Ruan Tang!"
Shouts rose in her ears, and Xu Ruantang knelt heavily on the cotton quilt, loosening her grip on Lu Xiaozhao.
"Quick, quick, look at the child!" Xu Ruantang grimaced.
Although it was only on the second floor, a four or five-year-old child weighs at least forty pounds, so the impact was considerable.
"sister in law!"
"Ruan Ruan!"
The two drunkards woke up and stumbled over.
Xu Ruantang was helped to sit on the quilt by her sister-in-law, and she forced a smile at the two of them: "I'm fine."
What I was really thinking was: If you two NPCs had woken up any later, you wouldn't have been able to participate in the ending of the event.
Lu Xiaozhao was fine. She opened her eyes, which had been closed, and crawled toward Xu Ruantang.
Xu Ruantang raised her right hand and patted his head.
"Xiao Zhao, your aunt is alright, don't be afraid."
Tears welled up in the child's eyes, but he still didn't cry.
Lu Shishen rushed downstairs. He first ran to Xiao Zhao's side and examined the child.
"Company Commander Lu! Wang Xiuxiu's head is bleeding!"
A woman called out, and no matter what, it was still a life, so someone rushed over to check on her.
"Company Commander Lu, save them!"
Xu Hanli was sobered up by the fright. If someone died, Lu Shishen's future would be over.
The entire regiment is likely to be implicated.
"sister in law..."
Xu Hanli looked at Xu Ruantang, who quickly replied, "I'm fine, let's save people first."
With such a serious incident, Xu Hanli's phone call to find a car was definitely to get him to the military hospital.
While we were waiting, the doctor from the clinic arrived.
Wang Xiuxiu was seriously injured. The doctor gave Xu Ruantang and Lu Xiaozhao a brief check-up and then went to attend to other matters.
Wang Xiuxiu fell from the building, landing headfirst and bleeding profusely.
Lu Xiaozhao sat there blankly, glanced indifferently in her mother's direction, and quickly turned her head away again.
"Xiao Zhao, if you want to cry, just cry it out. It will make you feel better."
Everyone in the courtyard was busy and in a state of chaos. Lu Xiaozhao and Xu Ruantang were sitting on the quilt, and he was still clinging to Xu Ruantang, holding her clothes with one hand.
Upon hearing Xu Ruantang's words, the child glanced at her first, then lowered his head.
"Xiao Zhao, it's not your fault. You did a great job." Xu Ruantang gently rubbed his cheek.
This child is so stubborn it breaks your heart.
The next second, the child burst into tears.
He clutched Xu Ruantang's clothes tightly, large tears rolling down his face and disappearing onto the blanket.
Every time Dad doesn't come home, Mom beats and scolds him, saying it's because he's useless that Dad doesn't want to come home.
No one ever told him that it wasn't his fault.
When his mother held him on the railing, he thought that if he behaved well, his parents wouldn't argue.
He even wondered if it was his mother who would be sad.
"Cry, it'll make you feel better," Xu Ruantang comforted softly. "Adults should take responsibility for their mistakes. You're still a child, you don't need to be so sensible."
The car arrived quickly, and Wang Xiuxiu was carried onto the car on a stretcher. Lu Shishen, carrying Lu Xiaozhao, followed.
Li Shuhe herself was still unsteady on her feet, so she came to help Xu Ruantang.
She was already wearing thin clothes, and her knees must have been scraped from kneeling down, so it hurt when she stood up.
Xu Hanli hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "Sister-in-law, shall I carry you on my back?"
Xu Ruantang was about to shake her head when she saw Chen Ji stride over. He was still wearing his training uniform, and his face was so cold it was almost icy.
