Chapter 73

At the hospital, Bang Geng was wheeled into the operating room.

"What did this child do to have both his hand and foot broken?"

Even the doctor couldn't bear to watch and quickly examined Bang Geng to prepare for surgery.

"Doctor, will my son have any lasting complications?"

Qin Qin Huairu looked anxious.

"Chen Tian, this is the first time I've felt this satisfied!"

Xu Xu Damao held his wine glass, smiling from ear to ear.

Today he had given Sha Zhu a sound thrashing.

That dog had bullied him for so many years, relying on the Deaf Old Lady and Yi Yi Zhonghai to back him up, acting lawless and overbearing.

He had even been beaten into a dead-end himself.

This matter had become the pain of Xu Xu Damao's life.

Whenever he saw Sha Zhu, he wanted to beat him to death.

Today at Chen Tian's house, Xu Xu Damao had vented all the resentment of so many years.

"Ezi, you didn't see Sha Zhu's miserable state."

"I beat him up while he was in the sack; he almost called me Daddy."

Xu Xu Damao danced with joy, looking like a villain who had gotten his way.

Lou Xiao'e shook her head helplessly, "Aren't you afraid of Sha Zhu retaliating against you?"

"He's a stubborn fool."

"Retaliate against me?"

"Pah!"

"Sha Zhu is just trash now, and I have leverage over him in my hands."

"The hospital report is at home; if that grandson Sha Zhu dares to act up, I'll call the police immediately and report him for intentional injury."

Xu Xu Damao was dismissive; in his eyes, Sha Zhu was just a piece of trash.

In the past, when he couldn't beat Sha Zhu, Xu Xu Damao would submit in person but not in heart.

Now, following behind Chen Tian, he was even more fearless.

One could say he was a dog relying on his master's power.

Sha Zhu had long since fallen out with Yi Yi Zhonghai, and Yi Yi Zhonghai wouldn't stand up for him again.

"Chen Tian, you little bastard!"

"Bullying an old lady like me, you won't die well!"

The Deaf Old Lady hid in her house, stomping her feet in anger.

She couldn't curse out loud, and she couldn't hear anything.

The Deaf Old Lady was about to be depressed to death.

"Sha Zhu, that little beast, it's the New Year and he doesn't even know to come over and make me something good to eat!"

Mentioning Sha Zhu made her anxious.

Too many things had happened recently, making her lose her footing.

Sha Zhu was the object she had chosen to provide for her old age, so he couldn't just be ruined like this.

Yi Yi Zhonghai had brought it upon himself by falling out with Sha Zhu.

She, however, had no grudge against Sha Zhu.

In the original story, in order for Sha Zhu to have a wife, the Deaf Old Lady had tried to set him up with Lou Xiao'e before she was even divorced.

Later, she even locked Sha Zhu and Lou Xiao'e in a room for the night and went to live in Sha Zhu's house herself.

All that was to make them a couple.

Sha Zhu went with Lou Xiao'e to save her parents and didn't come home for two days, making Qin Qin Huairu spin in circles.

This old thing even deceived Qin Qin Huairu.

To find a wife for Sha Zhu, the Deaf Old Lady had truly broken her heart.

Originally, she had wanted to set Sha Zhu and Lou Xiao'e up, but now there was no hope at all.

Sha Zhu had beaten Xu Xu Damao into a dead-end, causing Lou Xiao'e to be unable to have children, and she had been mocked by neighbors for several years.

Lou Xiao'e now hated Sha Zhu to death, so how could she possibly be with him?

"This mixed-up kid, he's really going to be the death of me!"

Thinking that Sha Zhu had actually gotten together with Jia Jia Zhangshi, the Deaf Old Lady was furious.

"Sha Zhu" (Foolish Pillar) was a nickname, but she hadn't expected this little bastard to be truly brainless.

How could he have taken a fancy to that old woman Jia Jia Zhangshi?

Wasn't he almost obsessed with Qin Qin Huairu before? In the blink of an eye, he had taken a fancy to her mother-in-law.

"Sigh, he really doesn't let one worry."

The Deaf Old Lady sighed.

Sha Zhu was her hope for her old age; he couldn't just become a piece of trash.

She had been childless her whole life, and being good to Sha Zhu was just to seek a stable old age.

As long as Sha Zhu could provide for her old age and handle her funeral, the money she had saved in her life, as well as this house, would all be left to Sha Zhu.

The Deaf Old Lady leaned against the door and watched for a long time; finding that Chen Tian hadn't followed her, she snorted coldly and planned to go find Sha Zhu.

She hoped Sha Zhu could find a girl to date and marry properly.

That way he could settle down and wouldn't have to go out and cause trouble all day.

With a wife, he would have a home, and Sha Zhu could also mature a bit.

Thinking this, the Deaf Old Lady leaned on her cane and went out to find Sha Zhu.

In the middle courtyard, Qin Qin Huairu was pushing a cart with Bang Geng sitting on it.

Bang Geng's right hand and right leg were both in casts, and the swelling from the beating on his face hadn't gone down, making him look very ridiculous.

"Mom, I want to eat meat."

Bang Geng had been beaten into this state, and he was still thinking about eating meat.

Qin Qin Huairu felt bitter; what family's child was like Bang Geng, always asking for meat.

It wasn't like they were a wealthy family; at the steel rolling mill, the Jia family was a household in difficulty.

Which household in difficulty had children eating meat every day?

"Bang Geng, be good, there's meat at home, Mom will make it for you when we get back."

Qin Qin Huairu lied to Bang Geng.

Where would there be meat in her house now?

All the money had been used to pay for Bang Geng's hospitalization, surgery, and medical expenses.
