Chapter 260 Who can defeat the stick?
Qin Huairu dragged her heavy steps back to the hospital. The lights in the corridor were so pale that they were blinding. When she pushed open the door of the ward, a smell of blood mixed with disinfectant hit her in the face. Banggeng was lying on the bedside. His handcuffed hand was swollen and shiny. The wound was oozing blood, which dripped down the iron chain onto the bed sheet, spreading a dark red.
"Great, great..." Qin Huairu's throat seemed to be blocked by something, and tears burst out instantly. She stumbled to the bed, her trembling fingers hovering above her son's wound, but she didn't dare to touch it.
"Cry, cry, cry, do you know how to cry?" Jia Zhang suddenly jumped out from the corner and poked Qin Huairu's forehead with her fat fingers, "You are a useless jinx! You can't even save your own son!"
Qin Huairu stumbled back and her back hit the iron bed frame. She opened her mouth, but no sound came out. Only tears kept falling.
"Cry, cry, cry! You just know how to cry!" Jia Zhang picked up the enamelware pot on the bedside table and threw it over, splashing hot water all over Qin Huairu, "If you hadn't hooked up with that Li Huaide, would my grandson have learned to be a bad person? Would he have ended up like this?!"
The scalding hot water soaked through her thin clothes, but Qin Huairu felt no pain. Through her misty tearful eyes, she saw Banggeng weakly open his eyes and move his cracked lips: "Mom... I'm in pain..."
These three words stabbed into Qin Huairu's heart like a knife. She suddenly rushed to the door like crazy, but Jia Zhang grabbed her hair and said, "You want to run again? If you don't get my grandson out today, I will fight you!"
During the struggle, Qin Huairu's collar was torn open, revealing a fresh bruise on her neck - it was from Zhao Hongcheng's pinching last night. Seeing this, Jia Zhang became even angrier: "You're hooking up with a strange man again, aren't you?!"
"I didn't!" Qin Huairu finally broke down and shouted, her voice so hoarse that it didn't sound human. "I went to ask Chief Li for help! I waited at the gate of the military district all night! I..."
Jia Zhang slapped Qin Huairu in the face again, "How dare you look for a man at this time and wait for a whole night, you bitch."
The other patients and their families in the ward could not stand it any longer. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarreled every day, mainly because the evil mother-in-law scolded and beat her daughter-in-law every day. They all accused Jia Zhangshi, "How can you be so vicious as a mother-in-law? Not only do you beat and scold your daughter-in-law every day, but she said she was asking for help, but you still wrongly accused her. She married into your family to be a daughter-in-law, not a slave. You can't beat or scold her. If you beat her again, we will report her to the police."
"You report it, you report it. The police are here, but they don't care. What does it have to do with you if I beat my own daughter-in-law? You should just mind your own business. She is a bitch. She killed my son before, and now she wants to kill my grandson."
"You also killed your grandson? Your grandson was killed by you."
"You are talking nonsense, Tom. I love my grandson the most. I would never harm him."
"You old hag, if you hadn't asked for such a high price, would they have treated you fairly? If you hadn't been greedy, would your grandson have been moved from the intensive care unit to the ordinary ward? You are greedy and stupid. Your grandson will go to jail because of you." The family of the patient in the same ward cursed
After hearing this, Jia Zhang still didn't believe it and continued to curse each other. All the ancestors, relatives and female elders were dragged out by both sides to meet each other.
Qin Huairu understood the meaning behind the other party's words. It turned out that Banggeng was handcuffed because of Jia Zhang's greed. It turned out that the other party was putting pressure on her to make her bow her head and beg for mercy. It seemed that Li Zhenhua was not unwilling to help, but it was difficult for him to do so. She had found the wrong person. She should have found the woman who came that day and reached an agreement with her, and then Banggeng would naturally be fine.
Qin Huairu stood beside the sentry box in the military compound, the cold wind blowing dead leaves against her frail body. The guard stared at her warily, his fingers pressed on his belt.
"Comrade, I'm really not here to cause trouble." Qin Huairu tucked her red, frozen hands into her sleeves, her voice so soft that it was almost drowned out by the wind, "I just want to meet Chief Li Zhenhua's wife, Ms. Zhou... I'll wait for her here..."
The guard frowned as he looked at the haggard woman, remembering the last time she stopped a car. He hesitated for a moment and decided not to drive her away.
This wait lasted three hours. Qin Huairu's feet had long been numb from the cold, and her lips were blue and purple. The guard couldn't stand it anymore, so he picked up the intercom and said, "Auntie Zhou, there's a female comrade at the gate of the compound looking for you..."
"What's her last name?"
The guard turned around and asked Qin Huairu: "Comrade, what is your last name?"
"My last name is Qin, and my name is Qin Huairu. Oh, by the way, just say I'm Jia Geng's mother."
There was silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds, and then Zhou Xiumin's cold voice came: "Let her wait."
When Zhou Xiumin finally appeared, her figure wrapped in a thick cotton coat looked particularly warm in the cold wind.
"Ms. Zhou...Ms. Zhou..." Qin Huairu went forward tremblingly, but was stopped by the guards.
Zhou Xiumin signaled the guards to step back and looked Qin Huairu up and down: "What? Have you figured it out?"
Qin Huairu suddenly knelt on the cold concrete floor, took out a cloth bag from her bosom and presented it with both hands: "This is a jade bracelet passed down from our family... Please spare us..."
Zhou Xiumin didn't answer, but leaned forward slightly and said: "Do you think I need this?"
"I... I know you don't need it..." Qin Huairu's tears fell to the ground, "As long as you are willing to help, I will agree to any conditions..."
Zhou Xiumin said condescendingly: "Get up, the conditions are actually very simple. I have said before that as long as you stop pursuing the matter of aiding North Korea."
Qin Huairu quickly replied: "We won't pursue it, we won't pursue it, then can we not let the police station investigate the fault of my Bang Geng?"
"Okay, it's just kids fighting. Who hasn't fought when they were a kid, right?" Zhou Xiumin raised the corner of her mouth.
"Then my good job..." Qin Huairu asked in a low voice.
Zhou Xiumin's face suddenly turned cold. "You won't have a job anymore. After all, that company won't want a thief. We have to do a lot of favors to help you get these things resolved. If you have any objections, then you..."
"No, no, no, I have no objection. I agree."
Zhou Xiumin raised her chin slightly, "Your mother-in-law..." Zhou Xiumin narrowed her eyes, "She made a scene in the hospital last time."
Qin Huairu's voice trembled: "Don't worry, Madam. I will take good care of her."
Zhou Xiumin suddenly took out a document from her coat pocket and said, "This is a settlement agreement. Sign it and the matter between the two families will be settled."
Qin Huairu took it tremblingly. When she saw the words "Voluntarily give up all rights to prosecute", her pupils shrank, but thinking of Banggeng's arm, she quickly signed her name on the paper.
