Flip the table and divide the family property! Take his wife and daughter into the mountains and eat

Liu Cuier frowned immediately:

"What do you mean by 'the police took her to another hospital for treatment'? What else happened last night?!"

Ergaizi coughed dryly and scratched his neck:

"After I burned down your house last night, Ma San and his men went berserk and stormed back to Kaoshantun to settle accounts with me."

"As it turned out, the police arrived just in time and caught them red-handed at the village entrance. All of the dozen or so thugs were subdued on the spot."

Liu Cuier held her breath, her eyes fixed on Ergaizi.

"As a result, that guy named Ma San completely went crazy. Even though he was surrounded by so many police officers with guns, he still dared to pull out a knife in front of so many people and went crazy trying to attack Brother Shanhe."

"Brother Shanhe wasn't about to let him get away with it, so he kicked him so hard he fell flat on his face! That bastard still wouldn't give up, his eyes bloodshot as he got up and tried to pounce on him again, but a police officer nearby raised his hand and fired a shot, leaving a bloody hole in him!"

"He died on the spot, completely and utterly dead!"

The ward fell into a deathly silence.

Liu Cuier's face turned pale, and she gripped the wet towel in her hand tightly.

Ma San is dead?!

Ma San, who had bullied his family in the commune and village and driven them to desperation, was shot dead on the spot?!

Erga glanced at her and then added something about Liu Changgui:

"Your dad was with Ma San last night too. According to Shanhe and the police, your dad's involvement in this mess isn't over yet."

"Once he has fully recovered from his injuries, the police will have to investigate his criminal record, so he definitely won't be able to come back anytime soon."

Liu Cuier froze on the edge of the bed, her mind blank.

Ma San is dead.

Ma Yanwang, the tyrannical man who ran rampant in the commune and whom everyone avoided, the man who sat in front of her yesterday smoking and forced her to bow down step by step, relying on Liu Changgui's gambling debts and his mother's injuries, had actually died.

Liu Changgui wasn't much better off.

This father, who has tormented her and her mother for over twenty years, is a gambling addict, and so selfish that he would even use his own daughter to pay off debts, went to Kaoshantun with Ma San to cause trouble again last night. Now he's been taken into custody by the police, and there's a pile of messy debts waiting to be investigated. He won't be back anytime soon.

Liu Cuier stood blankly by the hospital bed.

All of this happened so fast.

So fast that she didn't even feel the ecstasy of surviving a disaster, nor the exhilarating feeling of finally getting her revenge that she had imagined.

She just felt her mind was completely blank.

Last night, she was forced to the edge of a cliff, and she even gritted her teeth and accepted the fate of jumping into a fire pit for the rest of her life.

Only one night had passed.

The person who forced her to her death, the person who sold her out went to jail, and even her home, which was always noisy, filled with beatings and messy accounts, was burned to ashes.

The mountain that had been weighing on her and her son for over twenty years collapsed completely.

Erga Zi stood aside, looking at Liu Cuier's dazed and blank stare at the air, and he couldn't help but wonder.

He knew he had made a big blunder, and now that he had explained everything and put the money on the table, staying there any longer would only lead to embarrassment and getting scolded.

Ergaizi raised his hand and gently touched his nose, not daring to utter another sound.

While Liu Cuier was still in a daze, he slipped away stealthily from the ward.

The ward fell silent again.

The sun outside the window gradually sank behind the western ridge. The warm light that was originally shining brightly on the cement floor gradually stretched out and became extremely thin, eventually turning into a hazy twilight that silently swallowed the entire ward.

I don't know how much time passed.

Liu Cuier suddenly shuddered, as if she had just woken up from a bizarre and fantastical dream.

Her chest heaved violently, and she instinctively opened her mouth, as if to ask the person next to her something:

"Erga Zi, you—"

She had barely uttered half a sentence when she suddenly looked up at what was in front of her.

The ward entrance was empty, the door was half-closed, and only a few distant coughs could be heard in the corridor. There was no trace of Ergazi in the room.

While she was distracted, the man had already slipped away and disappeared without a trace.

Liu Cuier stood there in a daze, her gaze slowly shifting to the small, chipped wooden table by the bedside.

The thick paper package, wrapped squarely in yellowed old newspapers, was just sitting there, large and heavy.

Looking at the thousand yuan on the table, Liu Cuier felt a surge of indescribable emotions, a mix of anger, annoyance, sourness, and bloating.

What's wrong with this guy?!

They do everything on their own without ever consulting anyone else.

First, he inexplicably showed up at her house for a blind date. Because of this mess, her father, who only cared about money and face, was so afraid that the rich son-in-law he had in his sights would fly away that he picked up a door stick and beat her to death.

As for him, after witnessing that scene, he seemed to have suffered some kind of tremendous shock, vomiting violently and then running away without a trace.

Later, Ma San and his men came to her door demanding repayment of the debt. Her own father, for a mere few hundred yuan in gambling debts and also to climb the social ladder by marrying Ma San, a wealthy and powerful son-in-law, actually sold her off like a commodity.

For the sake of her mother in her sickbed, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and accept it.

And then, at that very moment, that bastard popped up again!

Without a word, he got drunk, drove his big Jiefang truck into Xiakanzi, and set fire to the house that had trapped her for more than 20 years, the house from which she could never escape!

When she came to her senses.

Ma San is dead.

Liu Changgui will never come back.

Those things that I thought I could never get rid of or avoid in this lifetime, things that I could only grit my teeth and bear until I died, all disappeared completely overnight.

But what about him?!

That bastard, after causing a huge mess and turning other people's lives upside down, just left a thousand dollars and ran away!

What is this?!

He took it upon himself to go on a blind date, took it upon himself to set a fire, and arbitrarily smashed her entire life to pieces and then reopened it all. In the end, he just dusted himself off and wanted to leave as if nothing had happened.

There's no such thing as a free lunch!

She clearly... clearly still had so much to say to him.

She wanted to ask him what had gotten into him on that blind date, why he was so vomiting, and whether he was disgusted by her.

She wanted to ask him where he got the audacity to drink horse urine and drive a truck to set fires all by himself; she also wanted to ask how serious his injuries were, and whether the police had given him any trouble…

But he, like a thief caught in the act, dumped all his things and emotions on her at once, threw down a bag of money, and without even giving her a proper reply, turned around and disappeared!

This bastard thinks he can just walk away so easily?

Don't even think about it!

A surge of anger, a mixture of grievance, bitterness, and embarrassment, rushed to Liu Cuier's eyes.

She slammed the wet towel in her hand into the basin of water, splashing water everywhere. She didn't even bother to grab the thick wad of one thousand yuan on the table. Biting her lip, she grabbed the hem of her cotton-padded coat and rushed out the door.
