"Who the hell threw fruit peels here? Don't you have any morals? This is a public space. Trash should be thrown in the trash can. Didn't your mother teach you that when you were a kid?!"
Before Shu Ying even stepped out of the tenement building, she heard Li Dacheng's wailing and howling.
Judging from his level of anger, he most likely broke his coccyx.
Li Hong felt the entire floor shake, followed by Li Dacheng's wailing and crying. She hurriedly followed him out.
But because of a slip, he tumbled down the stairs.
She hit her head on the corner of the stairs, and her face was bruised and swollen.
"Ouch, I almost fell and hurt myself! Who was so heartless? I have to make them pay my medical bills! My back is killing me!"
Li Dacheng looked at her with exasperation, "Useless thing. I told you there were banana peels here. Can you use your brain before you go out? I almost got hit by one of your banana peels. If you die one day, it'll be because you're stupid."
Li Hong rubbed her lower back and staggered to her feet. She had fallen quite hard and then flew down the stairs, and she was still dizzy.
The apartment building wasn't well-lit, and she still hadn't found the banana peel. She had just slipped and fallen, and her old bones felt like they were about to fall apart.
"What's the point of you talking about me here? You were the one who fell first. If you hadn't been yelling and shouting, I wouldn't have fallen."
Li Dacheng fell and hit his tailbone. Tears streamed uncontrollably down his face. He moved slightly, but the pain was excruciating to every bone in his body.
"Hiss—what are you still standing there for? Your man is about to be thrown to his death, come and help me up."
Before Li Hong could react, she limped up the stairs, holding onto the railing. The stairs in the tenement building were dilapidated and creaked frequently.
She finally gave in to fear. "I fell even harder than you. You can't even get up. Oh, how can I help you up?"
She could only walk very slowly, but she dared not put any force on her waist.
Li Dacheng turned around and shouted at Li Guangzong behind him, "Guangzong, are you deaf? Can't you hear that your parents are going to fall to their deaths! Aren't you coming over to help us?"
Li Guangzong, looking unwilling, came over in slippers. "You're all old folks, can't you see where you're going when you go out? You're just causing me trouble. If you accidentally fall and get paralyzed, I won't be responsible."
Upon hearing this, Li Dacheng nearly choked on his breath. He managed to stand up, but then stepped on a banana peel with his other foot and fell flat on his face without warning, his front teeth hitting the floor hard. Fortunately, they were only slightly loosened.
But his lips quickly swelled up, making it difficult for him to even speak.
Sister Zhang glanced around the corner of the stairs, spat on the ground, and said, "Pah! Even God can't stand the wicked things your family has done. God should have taken your whole family away long ago."
Despite being heavily pregnant, Li Qingqing still had to take care of the family's daily needs, and her figure could be seen in the washroom every day.
Three days ago, Li Qingqing fell in the washroom. Now the baby was born prematurely. Sister Zhang guessed that it was related to the fall a few days ago. But she couldn't tell Shu Ying anything she wasn't sure about.
“You’re such a grown-up, and you can’t even help someone up. Your mother and I raised you all these years, and now you’re unhappy about such a small thing. How can we expect you to take care of us in our old age?”
Li Dacheng was furious. In his mind, he was still the head of the Li family, and Li Guangzong was still a teenager.
Li Hong was somewhat displeased, "The child is still young, why are you saying these things to him now? It was your carelessness, if you have anger, take it out on someone else, don't take it out on my son!"
Li Dacheng felt a lump in his throat. "A doting mother spoils her son. These two children are ruined by you. How could I have been so blind to fall for a spendthrift like you?"
Li Hong was already holding back her anger, and Li Dacheng's words were even more unpleasant. In less than two minutes, the Li family was in chaos again.
Li Guangzong sat on the sofa as if nothing had happened, completely ignoring the two people who were smashing the table and breaking the bowls.
Shu Ying downstairs didn't stop walking. She scoffed, "She's fallen like this and still has the mood to argue. It seems that bitches are indeed thick-skinned. I should have put more nails in the tenement building."
Qingqing was alone in the hospital, while her family was still worried about who would pay for her medical expenses.
Over the years, all the money Li Qingqing has earned has been in their hands, but at this crucial moment, they refuse to contribute a single penny.
Shu Ying took a deep breath, composed herself, and without lingering, quickly went to the hospital that Sister Zhang had mentioned.
The afternoon was sweltering, and the sky seemed to be plotting a downpour, making it hard to breathe.
In the hospital corridor, all the windows were open, and the stuffy air couldn't let in a breath of wind.
Li Qingqing's water has broken, and she must give birth to this child today.
Unfortunately, her uterus was too weak to contract properly, which caused a difficult labor. The baby was slow to come out, and her hair was soaked with sweat.
"Doctor, I really can't go on, please save me."
She had already fainted once. She originally thought that giving birth was a very simple thing, but only when it was her turn did she realize that the pain she endured was a thousand times or even a hundred times worse than being torn apart.
“You haven’t paid yet, so the hospital won’t perform surgery on you. You’d better give birth to this child naturally. I advise you not to waste your energy. Save your energy for childbirth. The sooner the baby comes out, the less you’ll suffer. If this continues, both you and the baby will be in danger.”
Although Li Qingqing did not have severe bleeding, the baby was breech and her uterine contractions were not strong. Everyone else had family members with them, but she was still alone and had no money to pay for hospitalization. It was a small matter that no one would pay for the medical expenses of cutting her open and stitching her up, but if any problems occurred during the process, the hospital would have to bear a huge responsibility.
No one is willing to take the risk of performing surgery on a complete stranger.
"Given your current situation, you can only try your best to give birth naturally. We can offer you some things, but we can't provide any substantial help. Otherwise, you should try to contact your family. Your situation is very dangerous right now. If someone can sign the consent form for you, you can have the surgery immediately."
Since they were both women, the doctor couldn't help but feel a little sorry for them.
Now, pregnant women are treated like precious treasures and pampered by their families.
Cases like Li Qingqing's are truly rare.
"My parents aren't coming, and my husband can't come back right now. Could you please think of something for me?"
