Chapter 302 Splashed with hot soup.
” Hui’er!”” Hui! Hui!”
Zhu Qian and Lang Ru obviously noticed the boy wrapped in a bloodied bedsheet, shocked and terrified they rushed towards Lang who was very tentatively carrying Lang Hui in her arms. Zhu Qian was the first to rush beside his wife as he raised his hand and tried to check up on his son, however, just as his hand was going to touch Lang Hui’s face, he stopped —— his son’s entire body was covered in injuries from his face to his toes, not even an inch of his skin was left untouched.
” How…How did this happen? How!” Zhu Qian’s eyes turned red as he mumbled to himself before he turned to look at his family and shouted, ” I left Hui’er in your care, so how can something like this happen to him? And daddy——” he sternly called out his daddy who promised to treat his Hui Hui as his own grandson. ” You said that you will treat Hui’er well, so why is it that my son is lying here in this shack while you are all having a meal out there? Why did no one call a doctor for my son!”
Zhu Qian was a father, even though his existence in this world was like that of a weird freak as he was a man who could give birth—- his emotions were no less than that of a normal mother who gave birth to a child after nine months of sufferings. He might be a freak of nature and his kind might be monstrous but he had the same feeling towards his child as that of a mother and not an ounce less! He gave birth to his son after months of suffering, how can his heart not hurt at the sight of his son all bloody and covered in wounds?
” That’s enough,” said Lang as she pulled Zhu Qian back, she was just as furious as her husband but she knew that time was essence at this moment, her son’s injuries were slowly festering and he also had a high fever that was making his entire body boil like a shrimp being cooked and the blood—— her eyes darkened as she took a glance at her hands that have turned red within seconds of holding her son.
Her anger was pounding in her head asking her to beat the Zhu family to a pulp but right now she needed to take her son to Yu Dong. The town was too far from the village and by the time they took her son to the doctor in the town who knows what might happen by then? She suppressed the murderous rage in her heart and sharply looked at the Zhu family.
” This isn’t over yet!” she shouted in a threatening voice before she strode past them with her son in arms and her husband and daughter following closely behind her.
However, just as she was trodding past the hallway of the newly built Zhu family house, her gaze fell on the dining table that was laden with food and good wine. The rage that she has been suppressing in her heart once again blew up, when she was working at the brothel her salary wasn’t good, so she used to go around doing small errands to save a hundred extra cents for sending it to the Zhu family and when she was hired by Yu Dong, of course, her salary was improved and she even started to do overtime duty to get enough money for both her son and daughter.
She earned five taels in a month at the Yu family and sent one tael to the Zhu house with—- only for a month that she didn’t visit and they did such a thing?
Her son was beaten and couldn’t even get a doctor yet the Zhu family was eating soft turtle meat? Unforgivable!
” Here hold him for a second.”, said Lang as she turned to Zhu Qian and handed Lang Hui to him.
Zhu Qian took his son in his arms very carefully and instantly felt a pang in his chest. What —-what happened in these few months when he couldn’t visit him? How did his son who was so lively and cheerful become like this? His Hui’er wasn’t exactly chubby when he sent his son to his family but he wasn’t all skin and bones either! When he thought about how his family fooled him and made his son write all those letters where he said that he was happy and healthy, Zhu Qian hated his family even more!
Sure enough, money really changed people!
” Lang, what are you doing?” Mother Zhu who rushed after her son and daughter in law watched Lang stride towards the dining table with a determined expression on her face and felt her heart skip a beat. ” Lang, stop right——”
Just as mother Zhu rushed ahead to stop Lang the latter got a hold of the dining table and flipped it upside down.
The turtle soup was freshly cooked and was just taken off the stove, so, it was still hot and when Lang turned the table around with her hands, the entire bowl of soup flipped as well and ended up at the head of Mother Zhu who was in a hurry to stop Lang. Even the other members of the Zhu family were not able to escape as the hot meal that was spread over the table fell on the floor, they too were splattered with one thing or another.
” Ahh! My feet!”
” It burns! It burns daddy!”
” Wife! Oh my! Wife! Are you okay?” Daddy Zhu’s calves were scratched by the broken pieces of the wine jar but he was too worried about his wife upon whose head the entire pot of turtle soup fell. ” Wife? Wife!”
Mother Zhu’s entire face was burning like crazy, even as a child she never suffered something like this —— she glared at Lang and screamed, ” I am your elder Lang, your Elder! How can you do this to me?”
Lang didn’t even pay her any heed as she took Lang Hui from Zhu Qian and sneered, ” You got splashed by lukewarm soup and you are screaming like I have skinned you alive! Then what about my son who was beaten bloody under your care! Who is going to give me an explanation for this, huh?”
