Chapter 534: Chapter 534
When she whimpered in agony, her heart felt like it was shattering into pieces. In the end, she begged the villagers to drive her child to the hospital. Read full story at novel•fire.net
None of the Zhou Family came this time because there was no money. She knelt before the doctor, beseeching them to save her child. She signed a promissory note to the hospital, stating she would pay it back, she definitely would pay it back. The doctors couldn’t bear it and decided to save the child first. However, this time, even after the use of medicine, they couldn’t save the child. After three days of futile rescue attempts, the child passed away. Before leaving, they still couldn’t determine the exact illness.
Zhou Yiyi completely collapsed after her daughter’s death. What drove her even more to despair was that while she was kneeling in the hospital begging people to save her child, the child’s father was actually out shopping with another woman, laughing and chatting with her. Now that the child was gone, she needed to return home for help. Who would have thought she would witness a scene that tore her heart to pieces...
She rushed out, grabbed the man’s hand, and pounded on him, accusing him of heartlessness and cruelty, while pointing at the woman and scolding her.
Her reward was her husband’s punches and kicks, accompanied by slaps. Dazed by the blows, she lay sobbing on the ground with blood in her mouth. Meanwhile, he, under the villagers’ criticism, hurriedly left with the woman without ever looking back at her.
The rain began to fall, and she wept in the rain curtain, her heart breaking into pieces. But remembering her daughter still lay in the cold hospital, that she still owed the hospital money, and that her six-year-old son was waiting for her at home, she couldn’t just die. She couldn’t just leave. She had to go back, to make things clear to them.
Drenched by the rain, she walked all the way from the county back home, her gaze dull, like a walking dead, while she pushed open the Zhou Family’s gate.
Of course, Zhou Songlin hadn’t returned home. As soon as she got home, her in-laws started berating her. She was fuming with rage, standing in the rain crying out sharp and loud, with all her grievances washed by the rainwater. Although chaotic, she meticulously recounted every sin of the Zhou Family as if etched deep into her memory.
"My daughter is dead, my poor daughter is already dead, what more do you want from her? She listened to you, and she died, she’s dead!"
The villagers, hearing her cries, came to their door with umbrellas and took Zhou Yiyi’s words to heart. When they learned that the child was being resuscitated in the hospital while her father was messing around with another woman, they couldn’t help but condemn the Zhou parents.
The couple from the Zhou Family cared about their reputation and blushed with shame under the villagers’ scolding.
But Zhou Songlin seemed to have anticipated what she would do, and from then on never returned home, didn’t answer his phone calls, and even sent her a divorce agreement.
Zhou Yiyi seemed to have grown tired of such a life too, knowing that continuing in this deadlock was pointless. Therefore, she only made one demand.
"He must settle the debt with the hospital and take the daughter back home for a proper burial. She would take her son with her and could leave everything else behind."
To everyone’s surprise, Zhou Songlin readily agreed. Seeing his prompt agreement, Zhou Yiyi couldn’t dawdle either. They swiftly went to the hospital to complete the necessary formalities, buried their daughter properly, and then proceeded with the divorce.
On the day of the divorce, she packed her things and left the Zhou Family.
She thought everything was over then, and she even fantasized that as long as she was honest and hardworking, she could create a better tomorrow for her son.
But what she never imagined was that Zhou Songlin was callous enough not to even spare his own son.
During a stormy night, clutching her son and holding an umbrella, she hurried to her rented room. While passing a flight of stairs two to three steps high, suddenly a shadow in a raincoat burst out from behind and forcefully pushed mother and son down.
Taken by surprise, they had no time to react before tumbling down the steps. When danger struck, she held tightly onto her son, but it seemed fate had other plans. They rolled down to the bottom of the hill and were struck high into the air by a speeding car, then crashed back down hard. Now, they couldn’t be any deader, utterly dead.
After their death, the souls of mother and child hovered around their bodies, unable to comprehend who could be so heartless.
Until that person came, who not only called the police but also the insurance. It turned out, he had taken out a high-value insurance policy on both mother and son.
It turns out that three years ago, he had already become involved with that woman. To buy her things, buy her a house, he had taken out high-interest loans. To benefit himself, he had harbored murderous intentions towards them for some time, which is why he had taken out insurance not just on himself but on both mother and child.
What kind of ruthless father is this, one who doesn’t even spare his own flesh and blood?
After frequent scene investigations, they concluded it was an accident; the driver responsible only paid out thirty thousand yuan, but the insurance company paid him nearly three million yuan.
With those three million yuan, he not only cleared his debts but also married that woman.
Zhou Yiyi was not reconciled, but what could her lack of reconciliation do now? She was merely a lingering soul, incapable of doing anything.
So, she came with grievances and posted this mission. After receiving the plot, she stated her own tasks.
1. To get revenge on the Zhou Family, but not just plainly take revenge. They had to pay the due price for their actions.
2. To get into university, no matter the cost, she must get into university.
3. To be self-reliant, to live without depending on men. Otherwise, it would be an endless cycle without conclusion.
Watching the mother and child’s shadows gradually fade away in the Spiritual Sense, Tangyuan heaved a deep sigh.
Another woman devastated by marriage to the extreme, a foolish woman ah, she must already be full of regrets to her very bones, right?
Zhou Songlin, such a man, is nothing short of a devil. For money, he could go to such heartless, deranged lengths. That such a person could have a good ending is simply unconscionable!
Zhou Yiyi was too kindhearted; even her revenge had to be justifiable and reasonable.
What hatred could drive such a naturally pure woman to such a decision?
And her humble married life, isn’t that the true representation of the experiences of many married women today?
There are plenty of scumbags like him in movies and TV dramas of later times, those who kill their wives and children for insurance, those who push their father-in-law, mother-in-law, and wife off a mountain on a hike, or those who poison their wives to engineer an accident...
Has the screenwriter gone mad?
No, the horror of many stories is precisely that they are adapted from real-life dramas.
No wonder an increasing number of women choose to remain unmarried, opt for childfree lifestyles, or even choose to change their sex.
At the end of the day, isn’t it because there are fewer and fewer good men?
Tangyuan sighed, and when she opened her eyes, the calendar on the wall told her it was March of the year 2000. The original owner’s mother had just passed away half a month ago, the funeral had just been dealt with, and she had fainted from excessive grief. When she woke up again, her core had changed.
