This morning, the people downstairs also got up, preparing to go to the hospital for a check-up. The two of them ran into each other and started arguing. As the argument escalated, it turned into a physical fight. Zhou Tong, young and strong, pushed the other person down the stairs. The individual rolled down the stairs and began to bleed profusely on the spot. It was a pregnant woman, eight months along.
Hearing this news made my heart sink. This was bad. If nothing serious happened to her, there might still be a chance for leniency. But now that she was pregnant, the nature of the incident changed entirely. Even if he wasn't sentenced, it would leave a mark on his record. For Zhou Tong, this would be a lifelong stain—something that would follow him forever and could never be erased.
I sighed. This was fate—Zhou Tong's fate. It was also my fate.
I took out my phone and called the landlord. "I might be late coming back tonight; could you please help watch over Fei Fei?" The landlord agreed without hesitation. I felt a wave of gratitude wash over me. After all, we had only known each other for less than three months. Her willingness to help me meant a lot.
The surgery lasted until five in the afternoon—eight long hours. Zhou Huaishan and I sat anxiously outside the operating room, our hearts in turmoil. During this time, the pregnant woman's mother attempted to confront Zhou Huaishan several times, wanting to lash out at him...
They were stopped by onlookers.
“How do you educate your children?”
“How can you raise a child like this?”
“Child?”
Zhou Huaishan defended, “He’s still young; he doesn’t understand.”
“He’s young, but are you?”
I couldn’t help but interject.
“You…”
Zhou Huaishan shot me a glare and fell silent.
Finally, the operating room door opened.
“Family members!”
The doctor called out as he stepped out.
“Hey, doctor, how is it?”
We hurried over.
“Both the adult and the child are safe, but…”
The doctor removed his mask and continued.
“But what?”
Our hearts sank again.
“But the adult needs special care, and the child also requires special attention.”
“That’s good, that’s good.”
We all breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as both the adult and the child were fine, that was all that mattered.
Next came the issue of compensation.
Initially, I thought this matter would be easy to resolve.
To my surprise, it escalated to court.
The reason was that Zhou Huaishan's family was unwilling to spend money.
The other party demanded that they cover all expenses and pay a compensation of one hundred thousand yuan.
Zhou Huaishan was only willing to cover the expenses but refused to pay compensation.
In the end, it had to be resolved through legal means.
The court ruled that Zhou Huaishan's family would bear all costs and pay a compensation of one hundred thousand yuan.
"Why should I?" Zhou Yan muttered, her face filled with reluctance.
"They deserve it; who told them to renovate?" Zhou Huaishan complained from the side.
"Enough, stop talking," I shouted. "We need to figure out how to raise the money quickly."
"You..." Zhou Yan pointed at me. "What kind of attitude is that?"
I glanced at her and ignored her. Right now, all I wanted was to get home as soon as possible and see Fei Fei.
This incident made me realize a truth: children cannot be without their parents. Without parental companionship, something will eventually go wrong with a child.
When I got home, Zhou Yan was eating in the living room.
I walked over, took out my bank card, and tossed it to her.
"The password is Fei Fei's birthday."
"What are you doing?" Zhou Yan looked up at me.
"There’s three thousand yuan in there—this month's salary. The rest I need for Fei Fei's tuition."
"Who asked you about that?" Zhou Yan glared at me. "I’m asking you, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean by 'what do you mean'?" I was a bit confused.
