Chapter 433: Chapter 433: Qiu Linghua’s Fate

Sun Laizi was extremely shocked that Kong Lijuan brought up the topic of divorce now.

She hadn’t even gotten into college yet.

Kong Lijuan previously said she didn’t want her child to have a stepfather, and it was true, because she also saw Sun Laizi’s progress. He went to work actively every day, never late and never left early.

If he could live decently, she didn’t want to go through the hassle of divorce. How could she, alone, take her son to school?

Who would help her take care of the child?

"I don’t want to either, but look at your mom! In the entire production brigade, which family’s children are not taken care of by the elders? Which family’s children, like your son, are tormented by this damned old woman every few days?

She is of no use at all. What is she living in this house for? For what? You tell me, what’s the point of her being alive?"

Kong Lijuan hated Qiu Linghua, "I just went out for two days to take an exam. I said I’d spend some money to get someone from the production team to help take care of him, but she went and offended people to death. Otherwise, would my son end up like this?"

She was utterly devastated, thinking about her child, a piece of flesh that fell from her body, who had not enjoyed a single day of happiness with her. Such a young child, suffering so much; she wished she could take his place.

Sun Laizi understood her hatred toward his mother; he was also very angry, after all, it was his son.

Sun Laizi sat in the chair with his head in his hands, "If you want to leave, I won’t stop you. You’re an educated youth from the city, you’ll leave eventually. I used to not understand this, but now I get it.

But the son is my son, Sun Laizi’s son. No matter what, he’s my son. I will take care of him in the future. If you miss him, you can come back to see him."

"No!" Kong Lijuan said decisively, "I gave birth to him, and didn’t take good care of him, I feel guilty toward him. I will never abandon him, don’t even think about it."

Thinking of this, she stood up and ran outside with a thud; she wanted to see her son.

Just entering Xu Qinghuan’s yard, Kong Lijuan heard her son’s giggling. It felt like a dream to her, but when she rushed inside and saw her son’s condition, tears fell from her eyes like a waterfall again.

"What do you plan to do next?" Xu Qinghuan asked.

"I want to take him to the city, I will study hard and work hard to earn money." Kong Lijuan turned around and grabbed Xu Qinghuan and said, "Qinghuan, I know only you in this world can cure him. No matter how much money it takes, no matter how long it takes, I beg you, help me, help me cure the child."

She slowly knelt down, with a thud, her knees hit the ground, and she covered her face, crying out loud.

She just saw the child’s skin, which had blisters, shedding its redness, and it looked particularly scary; there was not a piece of good skin on his head and face.

But the child no longer felt pain, and she only felt a little relieved from the suffocating feeling.

"I can cure him. The treatment cost is five hundred yuan, you can give it to me later." Xu Qinghuan said, "But you can’t let this happen again. You’re his mother, if you don’t care for him, don’t protect him, who else will?"

Kong Lijuan nodded vigorously, "I know, Qinghuan, I know, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have been against you before. This is all retribution, I’d rather the retribution fall on me, please don’t let my son suffer anymore."

She wished she could kowtow, but Xu Qinghuan pulled her up, "Stop kneeling, you’re harming me by doing this!"

Kong Lijuan plopped down in the chair, "I want to divorce Sun Laizi!"

Xu Qinghuan didn’t care whether she got divorced or not, only asked, "Have you thought it through? You should do pretty well on this exam, and if you choose a more conservative school, you’ll definitely get in. If you get divorced, what about the child? Or are you planning not to want the child anymore?"

"I want him, I want him!" Kong Lijuan looked at her son, she only thought that Xu Qinghuan could heal her son’s wounds. Thinking of her son like this in the future, unable to be seen, would be unable to study or work.

She had to support her son.

She didn’t count on Sun Laizi; he’s a father who can’t even take care of the child.

He was entirely unfit to be a father.

"In that case, I suggest you wait until you have a plan to take good care of the child before bringing up the divorce. If you bring it up now, can you take care of the child while studying? Can the school let you take the child with you, can your dorm mates let you bring him in, can the classroom?"

Kong Lijuan calmed down, baffled, "What can I do then?"

She suddenly asked, "What do you plan to do?"

Xu Qinghuan was not in a hurry, "I have my father, Ah Ye has grandparents and an uncle, aunt, and siblings. What about you, do you have an aunt or anyone else?"

Kong Lijuan shook her head, "No one, no one at all. After I married Sun Laizi, they all cut ties with me."

"Now that you’re in college, are they still unwilling to have contact with you?"

Kong Lijuan smiled self-deprecatingly, "They abandoned me when I was at my worst. Why should I shamelessly reach out to them now? In this life, I only have my son, I need no one else."

Sun Laizi came over and asked Xu Qinghuan to diagnose his mother.

Xu Qinghuan gave Sun Laizi a deep look.

Qiu Linghua was cursing in bed and immediately shut up when she saw Xu Qinghuan come in.

After Xu Qinghuan checked her pulse, she said, "Xu Zhiqing, you must testify for me, my unfilial son did this to me. He wants to please that vixen of a daughter-in-law and is trying to kill me!"

Sun Laizi bowed his head deeply on the side.

Kong Lijuan came in holding the child and said angrily, "You old hag, look what you’ve done to my son. I wish you were dead; it would be better if you died now. As long as you’re alive, I won’t let you have peace."

"You dare!"

"You just watch if I dare or not!" Kong Lijuan sneered, "I’ll do it for you to see. If you don’t die a painful death, how would it justify the suffering my son has endured!"

The child was holding a fruit, eating it, and juice covered his mouth.

Since the poison in his body had been expelled, it didn’t hurt as much, the wound was starting to close up, but it looked particularly frightening.

Sun Laizi looked at his son, filled with mixed emotions.

He also deeply hated his old mother.

But, if he didn’t let Xu Qinghuan formally state what happened, he was afraid that someone in the future might accuse him of killing his own mother.

"It’s not a big deal!" Xu Qinghuan said, "Your mother usually eats too many pumpkin seeds; her internal heat is pretty high. She already shows symptoms of high blood pressure. When something happens to the child, she gets anxious, causing a small cerebral hemorrhage. As for saying she slipped in the snow, who among farmers can guarantee they won’t fall in a year?"

"I was pushed by this unfilial son." Qiu Linghua had no intention of giving her son any break.

Sun Laizi vehemently denied, "No, I didn’t push you!"

Kong Lijuan shouted, "Go ahead and report it, report that Sun Laizi pushed you. It would be great if he went to prison, then you would fall into my hands, and if I don’t skin you alive, I’m not named Kong."

Qiu Linghua was intimidated and cried, "Oh, what kind of curse is this? I gave birth to so many children, and not one is filial!"

Sun Laizi cried, "My older brother was killed by you, my younger sister was also killed by you. You almost killed my son multiple times. I will fight you!"

Even though he said this, Sun Laizi still didn’t dare to take action.

Xu Qinghuan said, "Alright, your mother has had a stroke due to high blood pressure and will be bedridden from now on. Just take good care of her."
