Chapter 1841: Chapter 1841: Extra Story III

"Boss, how much are these cucumbers per pound?"

"Sixty cents per pound, a dollar for two pounds, how much do you want?"

"Give me two pounds."

"Got it, two high pounds, I’ll throw in a small bunch of cilantro for you."

She took the money and threw it into a small cardboard box beside her: "The money is just right, come back again after you enjoy it."

After sending off a customer, Gao Suhua bowed her head and continued to arrange the vegetables she had brought back.

Ever since she was swindled out of her money, she was down for more than half a year. Even her daughters couldn’t stand it anymore, becoming more impatient with her, until a widowed old woman woke her up.

That’s when she started picking up recyclables, and after saving some money, she rented a vegetable stall, working from dawn till dusk to finally stabilize her life.

She had just finished arranging and straightened her back when she saw a fight break out over there. She heard someone shouting, "Come quick, someone’s going to die."

One of the attackers saw blood, got scared, shoved through the crowd, and ran, while the injured person clutched his stomach and fell to the ground.

Gao Suhua got up and walked over, wanting to watch the commotion, but when she got closer, she was stunned. The person on the ground wasn’t anyone else, but Zhao Guibao, whom she had cherished for fifteen years.

She was so scared her hands began to tremble, and she said to the surrounding vendors, "Please help me call the police, and call 120 for an ambulance."

Actually, someone had already called 110 and 120 before she got there.

She ran forward and hugged Luo Bin: "Gui Bao, hang in there a bit longer, the doctor is coming soon. What are you doing here instead of staying in Ji City?"

Luo Bin, sweating from the pain: "Mom, save me."

Fortunately, the 120 ambulance arrived first, followed by the 110. The 120 provided emergency care, and the 110 took the knife away; after all, it was a weapon used in the crime.

While the doctors were providing emergency care, Gao Suhua returned to her stall to grab all the money and followed them to the hospital. After Luo Bin was discharged, she realized she was back to square one financially.

Police arrested the person wielding the knife, but it turns out he acted in self-defense.

The knife belonged to Luo Bin; he had used it to threaten someone, only to have it taken away.

In the end, the person preferred to go to jail rather than pay the medical bills. But since it was a case of self-defense, and Luo Bin had drawn the knife first to intimidate, it was excessive defense. However, if he hadn’t defended himself, he would have been hurt. In the end, both were sentenced to three years for provocation and causing trouble.

After leaving the courthouse, Gao Suhua brought up Luo Bin’s hospital bills with Luo Tianming and Feng Hui. Feng Hui angrily said, "He is your son too, you’ve raised him for fifteen years, look at what you’ve turned him into. How dare you come to us for money."

After speaking, she pulled Luo Tianming, who still wanted to say something, away.

When her daughters learned that all the little money Gao Suhua had saved was spent on Luo Bin, they were all so mad they wanted to curse. The second daughter, Zhao Xiaomei, was furious: "Mom, he goes by Luo now. Our lives aren’t easy either, can’t you see that? If we mean less to you than Luo Bin, then you might as well rely on him for your old age."

Soon after, her daughters and sons-in-law all left, leaving her standing there feeling particularly helpless, thinking to herself that this was likely the punishment from her eldest child.

Meanwhile, Feng Hui, leaving angrily, was cursing as she walked: "Why are we so unfortunate, that damned man left us with this mess, and she managed to get herself locked up to have peace."

It turns out Luo Bin had gotten into trouble in Ji City and couldn’t stay there anymore, so he ran away. Now Luo Tianming and Feng Hui, his biological parents, had to repay those debts. The couple really regretted the decision they made back then, which harmed Luo Bin and themselves.

Luo Tianming sighed deeply: "Sigh, this is our fate, it’s too late to say anything now."
