Chapter 331: Goodbye, Scumbag Father
Ye Jingsong sat for a while, and when he saw Wang Lan come out of the kitchen, he said to Ye Rufeng, "Second Uncle, we'll head back now. You have work to do tomorrow, so please get some rest."
Ye Jinsong deeply felt that the old man had also worked very hard.
To save lives, he goes to work regardless of the weather, even at his advanced age, without taking a single day off.
Treating patients is a delicate job.
It's different from the way they raise pigs.
They need to use their brains, so it's more tiring for them.
Ye Rufeng nodded, "Okay, go and rest early. I'll go to Jishengtang tomorrow morning, and I won't be seeing patients from the afternoon onwards. Qingbai has a key, so you can come to the house in the morning."
"Xiao Zhi, go and relax with your uncle and the others. I won't go out."
"Okay, Grandpa."
Bai Zhi and Lu Ye saw Ye Jingsong and the others off at the door. Lu Ye then planned to drive them to the hotel.
Seeing that Bai Zhi followed him out the door, Ye Jingsong said, "Xiao Zhi, you shouldn't come out. You have to go to work tomorrow. Get some rest."
"Uncle, let me see you outside."
They chatted and laughed as they went out the door. After walking a few steps, Lu Ye noticed several figures moving around in front of him, seemingly arguing about something.
I initially thought it was just a drunkard causing trouble in the street.
Lu Ye frowned, intending to have Bai Zhi go inside and lock the door while he went to see the person off.
Just as I was thinking that, I heard a familiar voice.
Of course, everyone heard that angry yet familiar voice.
“My cousin is in front,” Ye Qingbo said first.
"Let's go take a look."
The group quickly walked over and, in the darkness, saw Ye Tiandong angrily struggling with several people. Ye Tiandong was very agitated and was grabbing a middle-aged man by the neck, about to punch him.
A man and a woman nearby were trying to break up the fight. A middle-aged woman dressed in unfashionable clothes was wailing and cursing.
Ye Jingsong saw Ye Tiandong struggling with someone and frowned in annoyance. He shouted, "Tiandong, why are you fighting with someone? Let go!"
Ye Qingbai and Lu Ye stepped forward and forcefully pulled Ye Tiandong away.
They were busy breaking up the fight and didn't notice how ugly Bai Zhi's face looked behind them.
The middle-aged man was beaten so badly that his clothes were disheveled, and he looked quite pathetic under the dim streetlights.
With a thick rural accent, he questioned Ye Tiandong, "Her uncle, what's wrong with me coming to my daughter's wedding? The past is the past, why are you hitting me?"
"If Xiaozhi knew that you, her uncle, had laid a hand on her own father, let's see who she would side with."
The middle-aged woman also chimed in angrily, "That's right, Bai Zhi was raised by us. You want to sever ties with the child after you've already claimed kinship with her? You're dreaming."
Upon hearing Bai Zhicheng and Yang Guilan's words, Ye Jingsong and the others immediately understood the identities of these people.
They both looked at Bai Zhi, who was standing at the very back, wanting to confirm with her.
Before Ye Jingsong could speak, Yang Guilan and Bai Zhicheng had already seen Bai Zhi.
Yang Guihua reacted quickly and darted over.
"Xiao Zhi, we've finally found you! We've been looking for you for so long."
Bai Zhi's face was extremely gloomy. She took a step back and remained silent.
Yang Guilan, with a loving mother's expression and a tone full of grievance, said to Bai Zhi, "Child, ever since you were taken away by the Lu family, you haven't sent a single letter home. We've been thinking about you constantly. Your father and I have been so worried that we haven't been able to sleep. We took the train for most of the day to come to the city to see you. If it weren't for your sister and brother-in-law also being in Nancheng, we probably would have had to sleep on the streets."
Bai Zhi suppressed her nausea and avoided her touch, uttering only a short, sharp word, "Get out."
Yang Guilan, feeling rebuffed, looked at Bai Zhicheng, signaling him to speak.
When Bai Zhicheng saw his daughter, his face, etched with the marks of time, betrayed a hint of unease due to his guilt. His eyes darted around as he asked Bai Zhi, "Xiao Zhi, you said you'd cultivate a good relationship with the Lu family's son before you left, and that you'd write home when you got married. Why didn't you tell us about the wedding?"
Bai Zhi scoffed, "Do I know you guys that well?"
"Yeah, are we that close?"
Ye Jingsong rushed over and grabbed the collar that Ye Tiandong had just pulled at.
"Hey Bai, we've finally caught you. We hadn't even had a chance to settle accounts with you, but you've come looking for us yourself."
Ye Jingsong grabbed him and commanded his two sons in a strong voice, "Qingbai, Qingchuan, come with me."
He gestured for his two sons to join him in the action.
Ye Qingbai glanced at Bai Zhi subconsciously, after all, this was her father.
But the alley lights were too dim to see clearly.
Just as he was about to make a move, Ye Tiandong stopped him.
He looked at Ye Qingbo with a serious expression and gestured to him, "You and Lu Ye should not interfere."
They are soldiers, and if they are caught fighting in the street, it will definitely affect their future.
Furthermore, the brothers are still in their prime and are fully capable of dealing with this person; there is no need for the younger generation to get involved.
Ye Tiandong's attitude was firm: "This is a matter for our previous generation, and you younger generation don't need to interfere."
Ye Jinsong seemed to understand Ye Tiandong's meaning.
He didn't say anything more. Since the younger generation couldn't take action, he would suffer the pain and do it himself.
He slapped Bai Zhicheng across the face.
"This slap is for my poor sister. You bastard, my cousin was married to you for just over a year and she died. What did you do to her?"
Bai Zhicheng figured out Ye Jingsong's identity. He called him "cousin" and tried to exonerate himself, "Cousin, I know I've wronged Peilan, but she passed away from illness. It has nothing to do with me."
"Who's your cousin? Don't call me that, it disgusts me." Bai Zhicheng's words completely enraged Ye Jingsong, who kicked Bai Zhicheng twice. "You still dare to say it's nothing? You're her husband, her death has nothing to do with you? You irresponsible bastard."
Bai Zhicheng explained, "Back then, we were poor. In the countryside, we couldn't even afford to eat. I didn't have the money to treat her illness. Besides, ever since we got married, she kept everything to herself and refused to communicate with me. She didn't treat me like her husband at all. I didn't even know she was seriously ill."
"You're busy flirting with other women, of course you don't know that my cousin is seriously ill, you haven't cared about her at all."
As Ye Jingsong spoke, he grabbed his collar and slapped him twice more across the face.
He said viciously, "This was done on behalf of my niece. You have not only failed in your duties as a husband, but also as a father. The child has been raised by her grandfather since birth. How dare you, a scumbag, attend her wedding?"
Ye Jingsong's anger, which had been building up for months, finally erupted at this moment.
He raised his hand and slapped you, saying, "This slap is on behalf of my second uncle."
Yang Guilan watched as Bai Zhicheng's face was beaten into a pig's head, while Zhao Kai and Bai Weiwei hid there like turtles, doing nothing.
Bai Zhicheng is her man after all. If he is beaten to death, who will she rely on for the rest of her life?
"Stop hitting her! Stop hitting her! You city folks, you beat people up without even knowing what happened! We've never mistreated Bai Zhi, otherwise, would she have grown up to be so beautiful?"
Ye Jingsong sneered, "Her beauty and intelligence are inherited from her sister. Her superb medical skills and competence are all thanks to my second uncle's training. What does it have to do with you? If my second uncle hadn't found her three years ago and started teaching her medicine and training her, would she have achieved what she has today? She would probably have been tortured to death by you long ago."
Upon hearing Ye Jingsong's words, Bai Weiwei, who was huddled to the side, looked at Bai Zhi, who was hidden under the lamp, with a surprised expression.
She and Doctor Ye recognized each other as relatives three years ago?
