Chapter 803: Kicking a Man When He's Down and Getting Splashed with Mud Yourself

Yuke's surgery was a great success; perhaps because she had fewer thoughts, her body recovered easily, and in just one short month, she was already bouncing around.

She got along well with the children, but only played well with the little ones.

She had a "generation gap" with Shi Ran, whom she addressed as "Big Sister."

Shi Yucheng was all smiles the whole time, his gaze filled with tenderness as he looked at his eldest daughter.

Ever since his eldest daughter became simple-minded, Shi Yucheng was not discouraged; on the contrary, he acted as if he had found a treasure, happy and cheerful every day.

……

After the welcome reception.

Yuke returned to the nursing home with Shi Yucheng.

Trouble started three days later.

"Ring—"

The phone rang; it was Jian Yixin calling.

"Xuanxuan, can you come to the nursing home? We have something to discuss with you." Jian Yixin visited the father and daughter at the nursing home more often than Shi Youxuan did.

Her voice was very serious; it must be something important.

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

Her husband was worried, so he accompanied her there.

They were shocked upon arriving.

Both Shi Yucheng and his daughter had injuries on their bodies, and on their faces too.

Shi Yucheng's left eye socket was bruised, the right corner of his mouth was swollen, and he had even had a tooth knocked out.

Yuke didn't look as miserable as her father, but she wasn't much better off.

Her hair was disheveled, and a clump had been ripped from the top of her head, causing her scalp to be injured and bleed.

Her clothes were filthy, and when they arrived, Yuke was still sobbing incessantly.

"Bad people, they are all big bad people."

"Boo-hoo-hoo... I clearly don't know them, they said they were classmates, but I haven't started school yet, where would I have classmates? They're bullying me, boo-hoo-hoo..."

Yuke spoke while crying, and with others filling in the details, the two of them soon understood the whole story.

In the morning.

Yuke was jumping around the nursing home picking flowers; she was only focused on the flowers along the path and didn't notice a few people walking toward her.

Several people blocked her path, not letting her pick flowers.

One of the women claimed to be a classmate of Yuke's from university and asked if she recognized her.

Yuke didn't recognize her, but those people wouldn't let her leave either.

They also said many excessive things.

"Tsk tsk, our former number one beauty of Jiangzhou has actually ended up like this; if it were me, I'd go die, I wouldn't stay in this world to lose face."

Another woman said: "Exactly, what's the point of living when she's become a fool? Back then, you saw how she was as proud as a princess, nose in the air, looking down on this one and that one; now everyone is doing better than her."

If it had just been a few taunts, that would have been the end of it.

But these two women became more aggressive as they spoke.

Seeing no one was around and bullying Yuke because she was now a fool, they even slapped her and pulled her hair.

"Boo-hoo-hoo..."

When Yuke was hit, she could only cry.

She begged for mercy while crying: "Don't hit me, I'm a good child."

"Pah!"

"So disgusting, why don't you look in a mirror and see how old you are? Still a good child? Shameless."

"It's not just now that she's shameless; she's always been shameless."

Shi Yucheng saw that his daughter had been out for a long time and hadn't returned, so he went out to look for her.

Hearing the commotion, he found them and happened to see several men and women surrounding his daughter, with two women bullying Yuke.

"Stop, you are going too far."

He rushed over and pushed the woman who had hit his daughter.

The few men who were watching the fun and laughing saw the woman being pushed, swarmed over, and beat Shi Yucheng.

Shi Liu had asked for leave and was not there.

The father and daughter were beaten right inside the nursing home!

Originally, Shi Yucheng didn't want to make a big deal out of it, thinking they would just apply some medicine themselves.

But Jian Yixin came to visit them, and seeing them beaten, she was furious and immediately demanded an explanation from the nursing home staff.

However, the staff wanted to downplay the matter and suppress it, not wanting to give the father and daughter justice at all.

She was so angry that she called Shi Youxuan.

Sheng Hanyu held the majority of the shares in the nursing home.

His father-in-law had been bullied in his own nursing home and no one cared; he could not swallow this insult.

"This is too much; how could such a thing happen in the nursing home? What are the people below doing? I'm going to find the director."

Shi Youxuan was extremely angry.

However, there was no need to go find the director; one phone call from Sheng Hanyu made the director come to the place where his father-in-law lived to apologize.

There was a reason why those people were so arrogant and dared to hit someone there—the woman who hit her was a relative of the director.

Originally, she thought that since Yuke had become a fool, bullying her was fine, but she hadn't expected that even as a fool, she had such powerful relatives.

She had kicked a steel plate.

It was quite satisfying when hitting people, but she didn't expect the retribution to come so quickly.

Handling it was very easy.

Starting from the director, accountability was pursued layer by layer; there was no superfluous nonsense for the few people who did the hitting, just calling the police directly.

No compensation was needed, and no apologies were accepted.

The malicious assault was of a vile nature, resulting in fifteen days of detention.

But this was only the punishment on the surface.

Those two classmates of Shi Yuke coming to the nursing home wasn't as simple as just chatting with the director or visiting a relative.

Their jobs were unsatisfactory, and they were preparing to find work there.

Not only did the matter that was already set in stone fall through, but they would likely never find a job with such good benefits in Jiangzhou again.

Sheng Hanyu wouldn't care about what Shi Yuke was beaten into.

But hitting even an elderly person was the thing that made him the most angry.

Although the evildoers were punished, it left a psychological shadow on Shi Yuke; she didn't dare to go out of the house, hiding in her room every day and not even daring to go into the yard.

Even with someone accompanying her, she would tremble with fear when she went outside!

Shi Yucheng prepared to move back to the old house.

That house was the place where Shi Yuke grew up, and the old neighbors around were all good people who wouldn't bully her.

Although no one had lived in the house for many years, people were sent to clean and repair it regularly, so it only needed some simple daily necessities added.

Shi Youxuan felt it wasn't very good; the house was already old, and the furniture and decoration style had long since failed to keep up with the trends of the current era.

It would be too much of a grievance to let her father and sister move back just like that; at the very least, it should be renovated.

However, the person who opposed it wasn't just her father; Shi Yuke also opposed it.

She liked everything about the old house, and just seeing it made her feel close to it.

Since the father and daughter insisted, others could only go along with it, so after simple repairs and packing up personal belongings, the Shi Family father and daughter chose the nearest auspicious day to move back.

……

After moving back home, they thought it would be stable, but something happened again after only a few days.

Shi Yuke had gone missing.

The security in the residential area was very good, and the surrounding neighbors were all very warm-hearted, often inviting Shi Yuke to their homes to eat delicious food or play.

Therefore, when she was occasionally not at home for an hour or two, Shi Yucheng wouldn't be anxious.

But this time, he hadn't seen her all morning.

When he was preparing to eat lunch and couldn't find her anywhere, he finally started to get anxious.

He asked all the surrounding neighbors, and later someone said they saw her walk out of the residential area, and then she disappeared.

Shi Yucheng was extremely anxious; unable to find his daughter after searching everywhere, he had no choice but to call his second daughter and ask her to send some people out to look for her.

Shi Youxuan comforted her father: "Don't be anxious, I will send people out to look immediately, and she will definitely be found very quickly."

The residential area's surveillance showed that Shi Yuke was holding a small shovel in one hand and a plastic bag in the other, walking directly north after leaving the residential area.
