Lu Weiguo rushed home, with the others in the office following behind him.
Last year, a girl from their village took the wrong medicine because of a fever and stayed in the hospital for several days. The doctors said that if she had come any later, she would have been beyond saving.
Lu Weiguo rushed home and kicked open the door, only to see Lu Ronghui lying on the bed, foaming at the mouth.
"Rong Hui? Wake up, don't scare your father."
His hands were trembling, and he shakily brought his fingers to her nose. She was still breathing!
He immediately picked up Lu Ronghui and rushed downstairs.
"Director Lu, the factory's vehicles are already at the gate."
Lu Weiguo sat in the car holding Lu Ronghui, extremely anxious, but she didn't respond no matter how he called her.
Since she was going to act anyway, she had to make it as realistic as possible. She didn't utter a sound when she went to the hospital for a stomach pump. Lu Ronghui had suffered all kinds of hardships, so this little bit of acting was no problem for her.
The whole building was in an uproar. Even though it was already dinnertime, no one was at home. Everyone was outside talking about the earth-shattering event that had happened that day.
Children this age are prone to being stubborn. Rong Hui had been wronged before but wouldn't say anything, which is why she couldn't think straight for a moment.
Some of the more sentimental women wiped away their tears, blaming themselves for not comforting her properly that afternoon—the poor child.
Where did Shuyue go?
"Who knows? Maybe she's with her adopted daughter, and her own daughter is in this state, but the biological mother hasn't even shown up yet."
"Tell me, what kind of mess is this? Ugh."
It wasn't until nearly 8 o'clock that He Shuyue took Bai Rongjun's hand and walked home.
"Rongjun, don't worry, Aunt He will not let you suffer any more grievances. Hongxia, I will take good care of her."
Chen Hongxia did not answer her, but carefully held Bai Rongjun's hand.
"If you feel wronged, you must tell your mother. Your mother will take you home. Please don't do anything stupid. I was so scared just now."
Chen Hongxia's eyes were red and filled with lingering fear, as was He Shuyue's. She held Bai Rongjun's hand tightly, afraid that Bai Rongjun would do something foolish by the river like she had done before.
As soon as they got downstairs, they found a group of people gathered below, and the way they were looking at them was indescribable.
"Why is everyone downstairs so late?"
He Shuyue asked her familiar neighbors, but Bai Rongjun felt as if everyone was looking at her, and that look made her very uncomfortable, so she quickly hid behind He Shuyue.
"Shuyue, oh..."
The hospital just sent word that Rong Hui is alright, but she needs to stay for observation for two more days. If something had really happened, wouldn't she, as her mother, regret it for the rest of her life?
"Shuyue, Ronghui is in the hospital, you should go to the hospital to see her."
"What happened to her?"
Her impatient tone made her neighbor, who was afraid of frightening her, choke up, and the people next to her, who already disliked her, immediately chimed in.
"You forced your daughter to drink poison and try to kill herself, and what's wrong with that? How can you be such a heartless mother?"
"Everyone saw it today. If anything happens to Xiaohui, Weiguo will not forgive you."
Everyone looked at Bai Rongjun and initially wanted to say something to her, but then they remembered that she and Rong Hui were the same age and all shut up.
What a tragedy! The young girl is so shy. If she causes trouble, who will bear the responsibility?
"What?" He Shuyue exclaimed in surprise, and Bai Rongjun and her daughter also looked surprised.
No matter how indifferent He Shuyue was to this daughter, she was still a living, breathing life. At the same time, she also thought about other things. If Lu Ronghui really got into trouble, not only would Old Lu blame her son, but he would also blame her.
Bai Rongjun and her mother were even more afraid that if something happened to her, they would be stigmatized for the rest of their lives.
At that time, not only the Lu family, but also the pointing fingers and whispering of others will make it impossible for them to recover.
"How could this happen?" Bai Rongjun was very surprised. They had only had a fight, so why did Lu Ronghui have to make such a scene at the hospital? What was she going to do?
"Isn't this Xiaohui feeling wronged? Her own mother favors outsiders; everyone's been watching closely all these years."
Her aunt, who couldn't stand her, couldn't help but retort, "You've taken so many benefits, yet you act all innocent and naive."
The older woman standing next to her quickly patted her a few times, telling her to say less.
"Shuyue, Xiaohui is still your own daughter, how can you stay here?"
He Shuyue then realized what was happening and rushed to the hospital. When she arrived and saw that Lu Ronghui had already woken up, she breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, Lu Ronghui was still alive.
"What are you doing? Now everyone outside knows. How are we supposed to face people after this?"
Those are all neighbors who have lived here for more than 10 years. Everyone is very dissatisfied with her now. He Shuyue is also very angry. It's all because of this ignorant daughter.
"What has Rong Jun done to you at home that you can't stand her so much? You even made her drink medicine. Aren't you just trying to force her away?"
Look at her, lying in bed perfectly fine, yet she's made the neighbors lose face.
He Shuyue grew angrier the more she thought about it. She had finally managed to appease Rong Jun, but then this daughter pulled another stunt, and she started speaking recklessly as well.
"I'm telling you Rong Jun is my daughter, and I'm determined to keep her at home. You'd better really want to die, otherwise no matter how many self-inflicted tactic you use, I won't let her leave."
Several of Lu Weiguo's colleagues, who had come with him to visit Lu Ronghui, looked at him with mixed feelings upon hearing these words outside the ward.
"Slap!" Lu Weiguo coldly slapped He Shuyue hard across the face.
"Why are you still saying these things when your daughter is in this state!"
"Lu Weiguo, you've gone mad."
He Shuyue was stunned for a moment before she reacted. She wanted to rush over and attack Lu Weiguo, but Bai Rongjun quickly pulled her back.
"Aunt He, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. You cared about me too much, and I took your warmth for granted. I'm sorry, Aunt He." Bai Rongjun said and ran out.
He Shuyue wanted to chase after him, but Lu Weiguo pulled her back roughly.
"Open your eyes and look at your daughter! If you hadn't hit her for Bai Rongjun's sake today, she wouldn't have taken the medicine! She's still lying in a hospital bed, and you don't even care about her. Which one is your daughter anyway?!"
Lu Weiguo's face hardened, and He Shuyue had never seen him like this before, so she was a little scared for a moment.
"Isn't she trying to force me to send Rong Jun away by drinking the medicine? I don't want such a jealous and vicious daughter."
Lu Ronghui sat on the hospital bed and silently shed tears upon hearing these words, crying without a sound. She was already very weak in her hospital gown, let alone now, silently shedding tears all by herself.
What a pitiful child.
"You you you"
With so many people in the ward, she actually said such vicious things without thinking. Isn't she trying to drive her daughter to her death?
"Send her back. She's not a daughter of the Lu family. If you let her stay in the house any longer, then we're getting a divorce!"
"divorce?"
"Yes, if you don't send her away, then you can all get out of here."
