Yonghe Road

Chapter 46 Fool
Time passes so slowly and yet so quickly, in the blink of an eye, New Year's Eve is just around the corner.

Several months have passed since the accident, and Zhong Ziwang finally returned home.

People from Baile Village rushed to visit the Zhong family. In a short while, the floor of the Zhong family's house was filled with large and small baskets of eggs, and the dining table was piled with red envelopes of varying sizes, all of which were gifts from fellow villagers.

Huifang and Lin Yingying were busy receiving villagers, welcoming and seeing them off all day long, and saying endless greetings and words of thanks, so they had no time to feel sad.

Zhong Ziwang watched the coming and going of people in his house, the bustling atmosphere. He clapped his hands excitedly from time to time, and occasionally shouted excitedly. There was always an innocent smile on his face, and he was as happy as a child.

Just as Huifang was about to send Huang Yunzhi and others out, Zhong Ziwang followed, grabbed the corner of Huang Yunzhi's clothes, and hurried to go out together. Huifang hurriedly grabbed him and stopped him from going out. Only then did he get anxious and angry, and raised his hand to slap Huifang away.

This made Huifang very embarrassed.

She had to accept the reality: the eldest son she had relied on for half her life had completely turned into a mentally retarded fool.

"Sister Huifang has such a bad life. Her husband died when she was young, and now she's old, her son got into this accident..."

"Luckily, Ziwang is not dead, otherwise Huifang would be unlucky in both husband and son."

"Zi Wang is not necessarily better off dead. Death would be a relief, but he is so foolish and is causing trouble for others. Yingying is still young and will remarry sooner or later. He can only drag Huifang down. Huifang is so pitiful..."

The chatter of Huang Yunzhi and the others faded away. Huifang stood in the doorway, her face pale. Behind her, Zhong Ziwang, frustrated that she was blocking his path and preventing him from leaving, raised his fist and punched her in the back.

His intelligence was that of a three-year-old, but his fists were those of a thirty-year-old. They were so strong and powerful that every punch hit the flesh, causing Huifang so much pain that she soon burst into tears.

"Zi Wang, stop hitting me. I'm your mother."

Huifang turned around and looked at Zhong Ziwang with tears in her eyes. Zhong Ziwang just laughed. Her tears could not arouse his wisdom or conscience, but only made him feel amused.

He pointed at her eyes, clapped his hands and laughed, and shouted joyfully to Lin Yingying who came out of the inner room holding the baby: "Cry, cry, cry..."

His sudden startled movements startled the baby in Lin Yingying's arms. Perhaps frightened, the baby also started crying loudly.

Zhong Ziwang was startled by the baby's crying. The smile on his face froze instantly, and his eyes revealed a hint of fear and confusion.

He subconsciously took a step back and waved his hands unconsciously in front of him a few times, as if trying to dispel the sudden uneasiness.

His mouth opened slightly, and he let out a low "ah" sound, which was a bit bewildered and panicked. His eyes were wide open, staring straight at the crying baby, as if he had seen something strange and terrifying.

He began to pace back and forth in the same place, his steps hurried and messy, muttering some unclear words. As he muttered, he pointed in the direction of the baby from time to time, as if trying to figure out why this tiny baby was crying so loudly.

Suddenly, he stopped abruptly, strode forward, and raised his hand high towards the baby in Lin Yingying's arms...

Zhong Ziwang sometimes beat people.

Zhong Ziqi discovered this when he was taking care of Zhong Ziwang in the hospital.

But most of the time, Zhong Ziwang is well-behaved unless he is provoked.

The baby's fierce and violent crying was undoubtedly a stimulation to Zhong Ziwang. Fortunately, when Zhong Ziwang raised his hand high, Lin Yingying dodged in time with the baby in her arms, and Huifang also rushed up from behind and grabbed Zhong Ziwang.

The frantic Zhong Ziwang was full of brute force, struggling like a terrifying bull. Huifang could only use all her strength to hug Zhong Ziwang's waist tightly from behind, trying to calm him down. However, Zhong Ziwang seemed to be caught in an even more crazy vortex.

His eyes were red, veins popped out on his forehead, and he started roaring loudly. The sound was no longer the unclear mumbling before, but an angry and manic howl.

He kept waving his hands and kicking his legs wildly, trying to break free from Huifang's arms.

"Zi Wang, don't be like this, I'm your mother! Wake up!" Huifang cried with tears in her eyes, her voice sounding so helpless in this chaotic atmosphere.

But how could Zhong Ziwang, who only has the intelligence of a three-year-old, listen to her?
Huifang's cries and shouts further stimulated him. He twisted his body violently, suddenly lowered his head, and bit Huifang's arm...

Lin Yingying was standing aside holding the baby. She was already pale with fear and trembling all over. The baby in her arms was still crying.

Fortunately, the neighbors heard the noise and rushed over.

Everyone rushed to the door of the Zhong family and saw a shocking scene: Zhong Ziwang was biting Huifang's arm and tearing it hard. Huifang hugged him tightly and did not dare to let go no matter how painful it was, for fear that if she let go, Zhong Ziwang would threaten the safety of Lin Yingying and the child.

Several neighbors rushed forward and subdued Zhong Ziwang together.

Zhong Ziqi was unaware of what was happening in the Zhong family at this moment. He was in the Rural Revitalization Hotel, waiting for Xie Anmin to come back.

After a long separation, in addition to reliving old times, he also wanted to express his gratitude to Xie Anmin.

Without the help of Xie Anmin's legal team, he would have been unable to secure the high compensation for Zhong Ziwang. Initially, under the mediation of Wang Zian and the villagers, the party responsible for the accident was only willing to pay 500,000 or 600,000 yuan in compensation, refusing to compromise under any circumstances. However, after Xie Anmin's legal team intervened, the compensation was doubled or tripled in the shortest possible time.

The nearly two million yuan in work injury compensation can not only repay the Zhong family’s debts, but also provide strong protection for the future life of Zhong Ziwang and his children.

Zhong Ziqi stood at the door of Xie Anmin's hotel room, looking at the tightly closed door, his heart surging, as if in a dream.

He couldn't believe what kind of capable girlfriend he had. She was like a star in the sky, high above, emitting dazzling energy.

And he was just a humble pebble in the wilderness, who could only look up to her and feel grateful to her.

"Zi Qi." Xie Anmin's voice came from the other end of the corridor.

Zhong Ziqi turned his head and saw Xie Anmin walking towards him from the other end of the corridor.

She was wearing a long black winter down jacket with a circle of soft white fluff on the collar and cuffs. The belt was casually tied around her waist, showing her slender waist. Her hair was piled up high, and a few strands of hair fell casually on both sides of her cheeks, making her look casual and generous, luxurious and simple.

She put on makeup carefully, her lipstick was bright but dignified, she wore a pair of dazzling diamond earrings on her ears, and a pair of black short boots on her feet. The boots reached the middle of her calves, and the heels were a little high, making her already tall figure even more upright.

She walked over, like a model on the catwalk, so beautiful that Zhong Ziqi couldn't take his eyes off her.

Her innate nobility and aura clearly told him that she did not belong to this village or this county. She was a beautiful and aura-filled woman he had never seen before, a goddess who exuded an irresistible charm.

She had already opened her arms and rushed towards him, and he also opened his arms and welcomed her, hugging her tightly and kissing her passionately. Then, even opening and closing the door could not separate them...
