Chapter 382: Chapter 381: He Forced Me

Qian Chunli clutched at her chest, dragging Lin Yu into the house with a limp, "Let’s talk inside! Let’s talk inside!"

After she had run away from the hospital, she stumbled onto a bus to the city, afraid to go to the store lest Lin Xia should see her.

She had come here hoping to get lucky, and it seemed that fortune still favored her, as only her daughter was home.

Lin Yu led Qian Chunli to their own room and poured her a glass of water.

Lin Yu then asked anxiously what had happened.

Qian Chunli finally gritted her teeth and revealed what had occurred.

"...I really didn’t know he could hack Lin Aiguo up like that! If I had known, I would have stopped him! You know, Daming really went too far this time...

Lin Aiguo’s neck and body were like a bloody gourd. When we got to our hospital, they said it was severe. When I saw things were getting bad, I ran away..."

Qian Chunli rambled on incoherently, and then she noticed that Lin Yu’s face had darkened, her teeth clenched as she glared fiercely at her.

Qian Chunli was completely at a loss; she had no one to rely on now, except for hoping her daughter could help her. "Xiaoyu, you have to help Mom! If he really dies, what am I going to do!"

Lin Yu felt livid with rage and her stomach ached as she could never have imagined her mother doing something so shameful!

Moreover, she was involved with Lin Xia’s relatives by marriage!

Her maternal family not only provided no support but always managed to put her in an embarrassing position, and she could already imagine how Chen Gang and the others would treat her!

She truly despaired at their lack of initiative.

"How can I help you! Mom! How could you do this? How can I show my face if my in-laws find out?"

Qian Chunli stood up suddenly in agitation, covering her mouth and sobbing, while crying, she said, "It really isn’t my fault; initially, he forced me... that day, your grandmother had gone out to buy groceries, Lin Aiguo was at work, it was only him and me at home, he pushed me to the edge of the bed and just...

Sob... At that time, I really wanted to die... I was so old, what could I do?

Even if I told someone, who would believe me? Today was also by chance, Lin Aiguo just happened to walk in..."

She said disjointedly, and Lin Yu didn’t want to listen at all; she was utterly distraught.

The crying woman in front of her was her mother, the one who had given birth to and raised her, what could she do?

The deed was already done, and blaming was useless.

Lin Aiguo’s life and death were uncertain, the best course of action for now was to hide her mother away.

Lin Yu glanced at the home’s clock, knowing that Chen Gang and the others could return any moment.

It would be trouble if they ran into each other.

"Mom! Stop crying! For now, I’ll take you somewhere to stay, and we’ll see what happens with Lin Aiguo!"

If Lin Aiguo wasn’t critically harmed, at worst she would deal with a bad reputation and divorce.

But if he was dead, things would become troublesome.

Time was of the essence and Lin Yu could afford no further deliberation as she hurriedly left the house with Qian Chunli.

Meanwhile, Lin Qiu came with the police to understand the circumstances of the case, and Lin Aijia shared everything she knew.

Lin Xia and Lin Qiu also provided the police with Yu Ruiming and Qian Chunli’s physical descriptions.

Lin Aiguo was finally wheeled out of the operating room, and the doctor said that the surgery had been sewn up beautifully, relieving both Lin Xia and Lin Aijia.

Since Lin Aiguo was not yet awake, his statement would have to wait until he regained consciousness.

In the large ward, which was not very roomy, there were six beds.

When they wheeled in Lin Aiguo, they saw that four beds were already occupied, leaving only the ones by the window and in the middle vacant.

Lin Aijia decided to place him in the middle, fearing that the bed by the window would expose him to a cold draft.

After they struggled to get Lin Aiguo onto the hospital bed, Lin Xia and the others were all drenched in sweat, and that was with the help of a fellow patient’s family members nearby. Otherwise, the women alone definitely wouldn’t have managed it.

Lin Xia observed Lin Aiguo, who lay on the bed with his eyes closed. She pondered for a moment—he had the money for the incident, but she couldn’t take care of him.

Lin Qiu, like her, was also a woman, unable to care for him and it wasn’t appropriate for her to do so.

The only man in the family, Lin Dong, was so immersed in his studies that she didn’t want to disturb her brother.

But in those times, hiring nursing aides wasn’t common, and family members usually took care of the sick.

Handling the day was manageable, but staying overnight was a problem!

Lin Xia pondered deeply and then turned to Lin Aijia with an idea, "Aunt! Is Brother Hongli busy at his unit recently?"

She rummaged through her contacts, and it seemed that only Yu Hongli was suitable.

When Lin Aijia heard Lin Xia ask this, she immediately understood her intent.

"Not particularly busy!" She glanced at her watch, "I’ll call his unit and ask him to take leave and come over!"

"Great! Aunt, I won’t let Brother Hongli help for nothing!" Lin Xia understood that while family is family, financial compensation was still necessary.

Otherwise, who would help for free?

If others provided help, it was out of kindness; if they didn’t, it was within their rights.

Lin Aijia knew that Lin Aiguo was no longer in danger, and could finally let go of her worries and fears, "You child! He’s his own uncle, what’s the problem if he takes care of him?"

Originally, even if Lin Xia hadn’t mentioned it, she had the same idea.

Now that Lin Xia’s family was progressively doing better, she was also inclined to let their generation keep in close contact.

After all, they were real relatives.

There was no harm in maintaining good relations, and no reason to rely solely on others for favors.

Compared to Lin Aiye’s family down the lane, she was more willing to stay closer to Lin Xia and her family.

After Lin Aijia left, Lin Qiu wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked around at the patients and their families in the hospital room, and they all kept glancing at them.

She whispered to Lin Xia, "Sister! I was really scared just now!" She had thought that he might die.

On the way to the police station, her legs were so weak they felt like noodles.

"Don’t worry! It’s all taken care of now!" In fact, Lin Xia had been quite frightened herself.

Who could have imagined that something like this would happen!

"Sister! Can you believe that person, how shameless can you get! What kind of situation is this!" Lin Qiu felt disgusted just thinking about it.

She had even seen Yu Ruiming before, had sat at the same table for a meal. While not handsome, he was still a young man.

How could a woman in her forties and a young man in his early twenties get involved like that?

"Let’s not get involved in this! Let the police handle it!" Lin Xia preferred not to talk more about it. There were other people in the ward, and whatever they said could easily be overheard.

"Yes!" Lin Qiu surveyed the environment, "Sister, why did you ask Brother Hongli to come? If there’s no one to care, Wu Zhengyang would also do!"

As her boyfriend, now that her dad was in trouble, shouldn’t he, as the future son-in-law, lend a hand?

"Xiaoqiu! Wu Zhengyang works during the day. In the evenings, if he comes to take care of him, can his body handle it?

Besides, what about during the day? Are you and I supposed to sit here the whole time? Is the store not going to be open? Moreover, Wu’s mother would definitely have something to say about it!"

Lin Xia had thought about everyone present at the moment.

"You’re right!" Lin Qiu nodded, fully aware of how important Wu Zhengyang was to her future mother-in-law.
