Yu Shu changed her clothes and went to the hospital. The neighboring gate was tightly closed. Shen Youlin, the young master, had a fit of temper and couldn't get used to living here without someone attending to him 24 hours a day, so he moved back.
Yu Shu went to the hospital and made arrangements for the surgery and hospitalization, sitting alone at the entrance, waiting for the ambulance to arrive.
The waiting time seemed endless, and she tried to find something to pass the time, but there was nothing to do.
Finally, Yu Yang arrived, lying on the stretcher.
Yu Yang appeared to be in good spirits and even greeted her when he was being carried out of the ambulance.
"Sister, it was done by second and third uncles."
"I know, I'm here."
Yu Yang was taken into the operating room, and Yu Shu finally had a chance to talk to Yan Ming.
"The news about your donation of the teaching building to the school has been leaked."
No wonder Ye Ping blamed her for Yu Yang's condition.
The situation happened suddenly, and Ye Ping and Yu Feng were in a panic. They didn't come to the county with the ambulance. Yu Shu asked Qi Yu to call Uncle Zhang to take care of Yu Yang. When Uncle Zhang arrived, Yu Yang had just finished the operation and was pushed out.
"Yu Yang, how are you feeling?"
Yu Yang shook his head. "Just tired. I'll sleep for a while."
"Rest then."
There was a hint of exhaustion in Yu Yang's eyes. For the past three months, he had been sleeping only four or five hours a day.
Yu Shu felt a deep sense of heartache.
Yu Yang's surgery was successful. Dr. Zheng personally performed the operation and repeatedly assured that there would be no residual effects on Yu Yang's right hand after recovery.
Yu Shu stayed by Yu Yang's bedside, leaving only after he fell asleep. Uncle Zhang was watching over him in the hospital. Yu Shu left for the county, taking Yan Ming back with her. Shortly after they left, Ye Ping and Yu Feng arrived at the hospital. They wandered around in a state of confusion until they finally called Yu Shu.
While driving on the highway, Yu Shu received their call and told them the room number where Yu Yang was staying. "The surgery is over, and there will be no complications. Yu Yang is asleep, so don't disturb him."
Ye Ping was hysterical. "Your brother is lying in a hospital bed, and you're going somewhere else?! Leaving him with a stranger? Leaving him alone in the hospital?"
"By staying at the hospital, can I make him recover faster? By staying at the hospital, who will deal with those people? Will you rely on your curses or your prayers? Besides complaining, what else can you do?"
Yu Shu took off her Bluetooth earphone and threw it away.
No matter what she encountered, she could handle it calmly, but Ye Ping always managed to easily disrupt her emotions.
Tears welled up in her eyes, but she quickly wiped them away.
On the highway, with tears blurred her vision, life seemed too long.
Yan Ming sat in the passenger seat, watching it all, not knowing how to console her, only sighing.
Yu Shu didn't need consolation.
--------------------
At seven o'clock in the morning, the people in the house were awakened by a series of loud knocks on the door. Yu Jiang cursed while holding his wife, asking the old woman to go and open the door.
Yao Jinhua got out of bed, saying, "I'll go, I'll go right away!"
"Ouch!"
Before Yao Jinhua could open the door, it was kicked open. Seven or eight burly men stood outside, each with a fierce and menacing look.
"What... what do you want?" Yao Jinhua fell to the ground in fright.
The people in the house could no longer sleep. They all got up and Yu Hai, Yu Jiang, and their wives came out of their bedrooms. The four boys in the house quietly peeked through the door crack.
Yu Shu walked in and said, "Everyone's here."
This house was a temporary rental, and many things were not yet packed, scattered messily in the living room. It was a three-bedroom house, with Yu Hai and his wife in one room, Yu Jiang and his wife in another, and Yao Jinhua squeezed into the smallest bedroom with the four grandchildren.
Yu Hai asked, "Yu Shu, what do you want to do?"
"What do I want to do? I should be asking you, Uncle Er," Yu Shu pulled out a chair and sat down. "I underestimated you all. Even your own nephews can be so ruthless."
She had thought that Yu Hai and Yu Jiang were doing well, unable to afford a house but at least living comfortably. However, the information Feng Shuo discovered was beyond her expectations.
Yu Hai had a gambling problem, and Yu Jiang was involved in drugs. They had been putting up a front, but in reality, they were deeply in debt.
Yu Jiang was furious, stomping his feet and wanting to curse, but he was restrained by several burly men. Taking a glance, he realized that they were all Feng Shuo's people.
"Lock up those kids and then let's get to work."
Yu Shu sat upright on the chair, expressionless, as she watched Yu Hai and Yu Jiang have their arms broken, whether they cried and cursed or begged on their knees, she remained unmoved.
Yao Jinhua cowered in the corner, trembling all over. The way Yu Shu looked at her was like she was looking at a monster, and no one dared to trouble her. She herself was quite frightened.
"Shu... Shu Shu, I'm your grandmother..."
"Grandmother? I don't have a grandmother," Yu Shu's expression turned cold. "The year I returned to attend junior high, you said you were taking me to visit relatives, but in reality, you wanted to sell me, right?"
"No... that's not it, I got lost... I turned around... and you were gone, you got lost on your own..."
That time, Yu Shu had sensed that something was wrong and secretly ran away. She met a kind-hearted person on the road who brought her back home. Afterwards, she didn't tell anyone.
So what if she had said something? The tragedy didn't happen, it was just a matter of easing the situation.
"In the past, I had no ability and no confidence. If I still allowed you to bully me now, then I would truly be living in vain."
Yu Hai and Yu Jiang each had one arm broken and were taken to the police station. The public order in the county was chaotic, and for regular fights and brawls, as long as no one died, they could be resolved as minor incidents without further investigation.
But this time, with Feng Shuo involved, the investigation into Yu Hai and his brother was thorough. They hadn't committed any major crimes, but they had engaged in theft and other illegal activities. Combined with Yu Jiang's drug involvement and a series of incriminating evidence, they would both have to eat several years of prison food.
After hearing the news, Yu Hai's wife took the children and went back to her parents' home. Yu Jiang's young wife, not wanting to waste her youth, heartlessly abandoned the two children and left. She never returned.
Yu Hai's wife divorced him and took their two sons with her. Yao Jinhua, alone with her two grandchildren, barely managed to sustain their livelihood with a meager subsistence allowance.
Yu Shu paid the school fees for her two children, Yu Jiang and Yu Hai. Each month, she only gave Yao Jinhua enough money for living expenses. If the children were studying, she would continue to pay for their education. But if they decided to stop studying, she wouldn't give them a single penny.
But those are stories for later.
That night, Yu Shu hosted a dinner at the best restaurant in the county town to express her gratitude to Feng Shuo. She also presented him with a generous gift.
Feng Shuo admired Yu Shu's decisiveness despite being younger than his own children. He didn't mind that she chose tea over alcohol. Over the course of the evening, they began addressing each other as uncle and niece.
After the meal, Yu Shu hurried back to Rongcheng.
Feng Shuo sighed, "That family doesn't have a single clear-minded person."
Someone nearby agreed, "That's right. If we can win over this goddess of wealth, there's no limit to the houses and money we can get! It's a pity that Yu Hai and Yu Jiang have smoked so much marijuana that their brains are empty."
"It's a shame. None of my five sons is worth showing off."
