Chapter 445 Did God want him to take a desperate gamble?
Reading Settings
However, given that Qiao Xiaoyun's injuries were more severe, Cao's mother bore a greater share of the responsibility when assigning liability, and she was obligated to compensate Qiao Xiaoyun for medical expenses.
Qiao Xiaoyun, on the other hand, is not responsible for her medical expenses.
At that time, Cao's mother was being slammed against the wall by Qiao Xiaoyun while being grabbed by the hair. Although she was no longer able to resist, she was still conscious.
Now Qiao Xiaoyun is turning the tables on her, saying they fought each other, which makes her so angry she almost vomits blood.
Since both of them were diagnosed with concussions and it was difficult to move them to another ward, Qiao Xiaoyun would often take advantage of the time when no one was in the ward to give Cao's mother a sinister smile, and while she smiled, she would occasionally glance at the IV drip that Cao was receiving.
At this moment, Cao's mother realized that this hospital was where Qiao Xiaoyun worked.
The thought that she might ask the doctors and nurses to put something in her medicine terrified her, so she pulled out the needle immediately, blood still gushing from the back of her hand, and jumped off the hospital bed.
But she was dizzy, and before her feet even touched the ground, she collapsed to the ground and could only crawl out like a dog.
When several nurses noticed and came in...
Qiao Xiaoyun lay on her hospital bed, looking over with an innocent expression.
"Comrade, can you stop messing around? You have a concussion. If this causes postural syncope, it's very dangerous. Don't blame our hospital then!"
When the nurses carried Cao's mother back to her hospital bed, they said rather impatiently.
The county hospital is not large; there are fewer than fifty doctors and nurses in total.
Qiao Xiaoyun has been working at the hospital for several years. She doesn't know everyone there, but she recognizes most of them. They've all heard about her ordeal and naturally side with her.
If it weren't for the vow they made when they entered this industry, they really wouldn't want to get involved with Cao's mother.
But after she was admitted to the hospital, she became extremely restless, constantly howling and screaming, and kept getting out of bed, even claiming that they were trying to drug her! It was utterly inexplicable!
They've tried to lift her up several times already, but she's so strong and uncooperative that lifting her is incredibly heavy.
Several times, they really thought about digging a hole and burying her!
"I, I, I..."
Cao's mother wanted to change hospitals, but then she remembered that her family, her parents-in-law, and her husband had sent their son back to the countryside to hide. There was no one left in the city, and no one could take care of her, let alone change hospitals.
Thinking of this, Cao's mother couldn't help but fall into a deep despair.
Cao's mother and Qiao Xiaoyun both stayed in the hospital for two days.
These past two days, Qiao Xiaoyun has been faking her illness, while Cao's mother is genuinely sick. Especially when faced with Qiao Xiaoyun's 'threats,' she is truly suffering every moment.
Qiao Xiaoyun will be discharged from the hospital on the third day because Meng Zihuan has also woken up.
For the past three days, Qiao Qiao has visited Meng Zihuan every day, stuffing some green fruit into his mouth each time and occasionally transferring a little spiritual energy to him.
Meng Zihuan's complexion visibly improved.
At this point, a week had passed since Meng Zihuan fell into a coma.
Cao Xiaowen, who hit him on the head, along with his grandparents and father, were finally brought back by the police station.
They really knew how to hide. They didn't hide in the house in the countryside where Grandpa and Grandma Cao lived, but in the cellar that Grandpa and Grandma Cao had dug before!
Because they ran back in the middle of the night, the villagers didn't know they had returned.
They don't come out during the day, only at night to find something to eat.
Cao Xiaowen is still young and does not have the capacity to bear legal responsibility, but his parents cannot escape responsibility. As Cao Xiaowen's guardians, they must make compensation for this.
Just as the neighbors in the tenement building said, they wrote a joint letter of complaint and sent it to his parents' workplaces.
Both Cao's mother and father lost their jobs because of this, and their company-provided housing was also taken away.
Because Cao's parents still wanted to act shamelessly and refuse to make the due compensation, the leader who originally allocated the house directly decided to compensate the Meng family with the house.
By the time the boys returned from school for the holidays, the matter was basically over.
Even so, the boys still managed to get revenge for Meng Zihuan. They chased him all the way to the old house of Cao's grandparents, and when it was dark and quiet, they dragged Cao Xiaowen, who had come out to use the outhouse, to a corner, put him in a burlap sack, and beat him up.
The boys all practice martial arts; their blows hurt a lot, but they don't cause serious injury.
Cao's parents wanted to sue the Qiao family's sons, but when they beat Cao Xiaowen, they put a burlap sack over his head, so Cao Xiaowen didn't see who was beating him. Even though the Cao family knew perfectly well that it was the Qiao family who did it, they had no evidence, so no matter how angry they were, they could only let the matter drop.
"Hehe, my head is really valuable."
When Meng Zihuan learned that the Cao family had compensated his family with a house, he was drinking the cuttlefish soup that his grandmother had cooked for him in the hospital room. He happily touched his head, which was wrapped in bandages and looked several sizes bigger.
That silly little face made the Qiao family and the Meng family grandparents both laugh and feel sorry for him.
On the other side, in Baoyi City, inside a guesthouse.
Fu Tianyou looked at the newspaper with Qiao Qiao's photo on it, then at the divination he had just performed, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.
He muttered to himself, "What a coincidence! After all this time, we've run into each other again."
From the moment Fu Tianyou met Qiao Qiao, he had wanted to investigate her more than once or twice.
But no matter where he was, he couldn't find any information about this person.
He didn't dare to confront Qiao Qiao rashly, especially since he had been seriously injured last time.
Before he could recover from the first backlash, he was severely injured again, and his spiritual power was greatly depleted.
He knew that the old methods were no longer effective for him, and this time he had to use top-grade luck to replenish the spiritual power he had depleted.
He finally managed to find out in Tianjin that the person he had met in Kyoto a few years ago, who had exceptional luck but was physically weak, was now in Huajiang Province.
When he arrived in Baoyi City, the capital of Huajiang Province, he cast a divination for himself. Because he was close enough, he was able to find the person he needed in Hongfeng Town.
Unexpectedly, before he could even go looking for her, he saw a report about Qiao Qiao in the newspaper.
Fu Tianyou was not unaware that the people surrounding Qiao Qiao were all chosen ones, or even the most outstanding chosen ones.
However, these exceptionally fortunate individuals possessed such immense power that it was impossible for him to even approach them with his current cultivation level.
He had no choice but to settle for someone with slightly better luck.
What Fu Tianyou didn't expect was that everyone he found seemed to have some connection with this child named Qiao Qiao.
The Yan family in Kyoto is like that.
The Wang family in Jinshi is the same.
As Fu Tianyou thought of this, a dark glint flashed in his eyes.
He wondered if God was trying to force him to take a desperate gamble by having them meet like this time and time again.
