Lin Wanyi was on a video call with Wang Keke. Hearing that she was coming back tomorrow, Wang Keke jumped for joy.
Li Suhua was even happier. Lin Wanyi coming back meant she was finally going to be free.
Her daughter would no longer have to waste her life in that marriage.
She was finally leaving the wolf den of the Wang family.
She immediately made the bed and put on fresh quilt covers.
She started planning tomorrow's meals.
There had to be Lin Wanyi's favorite smoked meat.
It was the meat her late husband had smoked specifically for Lin Wanyi before he passed away.
Hanging up the video call, Lin Wanyi started packing her things.
Lin Jiajun was very happy. He was finally relieved and was sending a message to his girlfriend:
"Yes, she's coming back tomorrow. I have great news for you.
"Really, incredibly good news."
"Yeah, my sister's issues are all resolved. When she gets back, we'll all have dinner together."
Lin Wanyi felt a bit guilty: "I've held you guys back."
Lin Jiajun smiled foolishly: "Why are you saying that? I'm your biological brother.
"If you had told me before the new year, maybe you could have seen Dad for the last..."
He stopped talking, and Lin Wanyi's heart filled with sorrow.
Her father was the biggest regret of her life.
Li Borui's surgery lasted for another hour or so before Li Jun and his parents rushed over.
Wang Meijuan didn't dare to look at him, hiding behind Liu Chunlan all the while. But Li Jun took one look at the operating room and charged straight at Wang Meijuan.
Liu Chunlan tried to stop him, but he shoved her aside.
A heavy punch landed squarely on Wang Meijuan, making her nose bleed.
Li Jun grabbed her shoulders:
"How were you watching the kid, tell me?
"You do nothing, you don't go to work or earn money, how could you let him run out alone and get hit by a car?
"Wang Meijuan, why don't you just die? Why wasn't it you who got hit and killed?
"Why are you standing here perfectly fine, while my son has to have an amputation?
"Tell me, why? Why?"
Wang Meijuan's head throbbed from his shaking, her nose was bleeding, and she was terrified.
Li Borui was the only male heir of the Li family. What should she do? What should she do?
Wang Hao tried to persuade Li Jun:
"Brother-in-law, please calm down. My sister didn't want this to happen either. She's already heartbroken.
"Stop blaming her, she really didn't do it on purpose."
Li Jun turned and threw a punch at Wang Hao:
"My son almost lost his life, and his leg is gone, and I can't even blame her?
"Should I blame myself? I didn't even agree to let her bring Ruirui to the city for school in the first place.
"What's wrong with going to school in the town? How is it so bad and backward?
"But she had to compare herself with others, saying this person went to the city and that person went to the city.
"She said her son couldn't be worse than others, racking her brains to get him to the city. Now look.
"We are in the city, and my son's leg is gone. And I can't blame her?"
The more he spoke, the angrier he got, and he turned to hit Wang Meijuan again, but Wang Hao desperately held him back.
He couldn't use his hands, but his mother could.
Chen Guifang slapped Wang Meijuan on both sides of her face:
"You jinx, you are an absolute jinx! Why did my son spend so much money to marry a thing like you?
"You've ruined my precious grandson. Wang Meijuan, I'll fight you to the death!"
As she raised her hand for another slap, Liu Chunlan beat her to it and slapped her first:
"Don't go too far, you old hag! Ruirui is Juan's son, and the one who is the most heartbroken and devastated right now is her.
"And you're hitting her? Do you think I don't exist?"
The two quickly escalated from a shouting match to a physical fight.
You pull my hair, I scratch your face.
On the other side, Wang Hao and Li Jun weren't idle either, tearing at each other's clothes.
When things got completely out of hand, a nurse called the security guards:
"This is a hospital. Stop causing a scene, or I'll have all of you thrown out."
Everyone finally stopped. Liu Chunlan had several fingernail scratches on her face. She defiantly spat at Chen Guifang:
"Bah, you shrew!"
Chen Guifang was not to be outdone: "You're no good either. Like mother, like daughter.
"I regret it so much. Back then, there were so many good girls for our family to choose from, why did we marry this thing from your family?
"If we had just picked a hardworking one, our family wouldn't be in this state now."
Saying that, she turned to look at Wang Meijuan again:
"You cheap thing, divorce. Divorce my son immediately.
"Stop dragging my son down."
Wang Meijuan didn't dare to talk back; she didn't even dare to speak.
She could only silently swallow the blood into her stomach.
She couldn't get a divorce.
Thinking of Wang Hao's attitude towards her, if she got divorced, she would have no choice but to die.
Her maiden family would absolutely not take her in. What would she do then?
At her age, where else could she go?
Li Borui was finally wheeled out.
Wang Meijuan threw herself forward, and seeing his empty thigh, her tears instantly flowed.
Her son would be missing a leg for the rest of his life.
When entering the ward, Li Jun blocked the Wang family outside.
Wang Meijuan tried to go in:
"Li Jun, what are you doing? Why won't you let me in? I'm Ruirui's mother. Why won't you let me into the room?"
Li Jun clenched his fists tightly:
"Because you are the reason he was amputated. How do you have the nerve to call yourself his mother?
"Do you have the face to be his mother? What right do you have?
"You are so irresponsible, how can I ever feel safe leaving him with you again?
"Wang Meijuan, from today on, I forbid you to see our son. Not even a single glance."
Wang Meijuan, of course, would not agree.
That was her son, the one she had gone through so much hardship to give birth to and raise.
She cried and begged Li Jun:
"Let me in, he will miss me. Li Jun, Ruirui will miss me."
Slap!
Li Jun slapped her directly across the face:
"Get out and go pay the medical bills. Stop being an eyesore."
Wang Meijuan covered her face pitifully:
"I don't have money, hubby, I don't have money. You go pay it.
"Or give me ten thousand."
Li Jun slammed the ward door shut and then sent a message to Wang Meijuan:
"Go find your mother and your brother. Anyway, I won't pay this money.
"Wang Meijuan, this is your responsibility."
Wang Meijuan was out of her wits. She went to beg Wang Hao again:
"Haohao, give me a hundred thousand. I need to go pay for Ruirui.
"I really need the money. Please give it to me, I beg you."
Wang Hao, of course, would not give it to her:
"Sis, Li Jun has money. Why do you still need to borrow?
"Let him pay it himself. That's his son."
Wang Meijuan continued to cry:
"Haohao, I beg you. If I don't pay this money, Li Jun won't let me off. He will definitely divorce me and won't let me see my son.
"I can't, I can't let this happen.
"Haohao, I beg you."
Wang Hao still did not agree.
A hundred thousand was not a small amount.
He wasn't that kind-hearted.
But he offered Wang Meijuan an idea:
"Sis, Mom asked for so much bride price for you back then. Go ask her to give it back to you.
"That was yours to begin with.
"Go ask for it. I support you."
Wang Meijuan had no other choice. She turned and grabbed Liu Chunlan's hand:
"Mom, I beg you, give me a hundred thousand.
"I really need the money, otherwise Li Jun will divorce me.
"Mom, I beg you!"
How could Liu Chunlan agree to her?
She shook off Wang Meijuan's hand:
"A married daughter is like spilled water. How can you ask me for money?
"Juan, listen to Mom, leave it alone. That is the Li family's son, don't worry about it."
