Chapter 434: Zhou Lin (5)
Chapter 434: Chapter 434: Zhou Lin (5)
She looked apologetically at Xiang Rong and her parents.
"I’m sorry, I... I lost control."
Xiang Rong shook her head, "Don’t worry, I’ll be here tomorrow. I won’t let anything happen to Auntie and Uncle."
Father Zhou looked at his daughter and asked, "Have you submitted your resignation letter?"
Zhou Lin paused, then nodded, "I have submitted it."
A few days ago, Father Zhou found out that his daughter had been given psychiatric drugs by Shi Jie and suggested that she submit her resignation.
He had also noticed his daughter’s condition over the past two years.
He used to think it was because she didn’t have children.
Now that he knew it was caused by the medication, he suggested she quit and take some time to recuperate.
If you’re physically ill, you can see a doctor.
Mental illness takes much longer to heal.
Moreover, in her current condition, she wasn’t suitable to hold a position at school anymore.
After hearing this, Father Zhou nodded, and once this matter was settled, his daughter had to receive treatment.
The next day, Shi Jie brought Shi Ming over.
"Mom, Dad, take care of Mingming for another day. Tomorrow I’ll take Mingming to register his household, and I’ve already found a school. Once the registration is done, he can start next week."
Father Zhou nodded, "Alright."
Mrs. Zhou looked at Shi Ming, smiling, and said, "Mingming, did you memorize what Grandma asked you to yesterday?"
Shi Ming: .....
He really wanted to kill these two old geezers right now!
These past few days, these two old geezers have been pressuring him to learn all sorts of things.
Damn it, now he’s scared whenever he sees these two old geezers!
"Grandma, I... I didn’t memorize it..."
Upon hearing Shi Ming’s words, Father Zhou’s eyes gleamed as he took Shi Ming’s hand and led him to the study.
"Come on, Grandpa will teach you classical Chinese today, you should learn well..."
Mrs. Zhou quickly said, "Mingming, in the morning you study with Grandpa, and in the afternoon, you also have to study with Grandma."
Shi Ming: ...... I’m seriously going to kill you all!!!
"Is Mingming not happy? Don’t you want to learn with Grandpa and Grandma?"
Father Zhou looked down at Shi Ming and asked softly.
Shi Ming clenched his fists, then looked up and put on a bright smile, "Grandpa, I do, I love learning the most!"
Father Zhou laughed heartily, "Alright, let’s write ten pages of calligraphy later. At your age, it’s a bit late, but there’s still time..."
Shi Ming: ... To hell with it! Damn it!!!
Shi Jie looked at Shi Ming sympathetically and thought to himself, "Just endure it. Once they’re dead, you’ll be free."
Shi Ming: Heh.
In the afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Zhou were taking a nap, and Xiang Rong was cleaning in another room.
Without anyone noticing (actually, a group of police officers were watching Shi Ming through surveillance), Shi Ming carefully took out a packet of powder from his pocket and sprinkled it into the kettle.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhou would drink a cup of water after waking up from their nap every day.
Last time, he put the powder in there, and they drank it.
The police behind the surveillance saw Shi Ming sprinkle the powder into the kettle and immediately informed Xiang Rong in the other room.
After hearing this, Xiang Rong acknowledged it.
Once Shi Ming finished adding the drug and returned to the study, he waited confidently.
After hearing Shi Ming return to the study, Xiang Rong quickly went to the kitchen, poured the water from the kettle into an empty bottle.
Then she gently brushed the kettle and refilled it with water.
The next day, Zhou Lin and Shi Jie were supposed to take Shi Ming to register his household together.
But because Mr. and Mrs. Zhou suddenly felt unwell, they went to the hospital.
Zhou Lin couldn’t go to the household registration office with them and went to the hospital with her parents instead.
Shi Jie and Shi Ming were all smiles when they heard the news.
Shi Jie looked at Shi Ming, "How many more times do you need to use that drug of yours?"
Shi Ming: "I used more yesterday than last time. If those two old geezers are in bad health, maybe this time they won’t make it."
Shi Jie felt both anxious and expectant.
Anxious because it was ahead of his planned schedule.
Expectant because he could be free sooner.
"Are we still going to register today?" Shi Ming crossed his arms and looked at Shi Jie.
Shi Jie snapped back to reality and went to get the household registration documents.
However, he searched several places and couldn’t find the household registration book.
"The household registration book is missing."
Shi Jie had no choice but to call Zhou Lin.
Zhou Lin looked at Shi Jie’s call with a cold expression.
"Hello."
"Linlin, where is the household registration book kept at home? I can’t find it."
Zhou Lin: "I have it here. I thought we were going to the registration office today, so I didn’t have class yesterday afternoon. I went home and put it in my bag, so I wouldn’t forget about it today."
Shi Jie: "Oh, should I come to the hospital to find you then?"
Zhou Lin: "I was in a hurry this morning, the bag is at my parents’ house."
Shi Jie: "What should we do then? We can’t get Mingming registered today."
Zhou Lin: "The appointment time is almost up. Just make another appointment. Speaking of which, my parents’ test results are out, I’m going to pick them up."
With that, Zhou Lin hung up the phone.
Shi Jie looked at Shi Ming, "We can’t register today."
Actually, this was exactly what he wanted!
He secretly didn’t want this guy to be registered under his household because once registered, he would compete for the inheritance in the future.
Shi Ming glanced at Shi Jie, sneering inwardly.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhou were hospitalized.
Upon hearing this news, Shi Jie and Shi Ming immediately went to the hospital to check on them.
However, they were stopped by the doctor outside the ward.
"Due to the patient’s serious condition, visitors can only stay outside."
Upon hearing the doctor’s words, Shi Ming was surprised.
How serious was it?!
At this moment, Zhou Lin came over with a sorrowful expression, tears streaming down her face, looking at Shi Jie.
"Husband, what should we do? My parents’ condition hadn’t fully recovered from last time, and now it’s even more serious."
Shi Jie held Zhou Lin’s shoulder and asked worriedly, "What did the doctor say? Weren’t your parents alright just yesterday?"
Zhou Lin repeated the explanation she had prepared in advance. After listening, Shi Jie and Shi Ming were extremely excited.
Looks like these two old geezers can finally die.
Even if they don’t, they’ll make sure to give them the drug next time, they definitely won’t survive!
However, next time, they must first target Mrs. Zhou, let her die first.
The two can’t die together...
Zhou Lin’s resignation letter had been processed, she had left the school.
But to avoid arousing suspicion from Shi Jie and Shi Ming, she told them she had taken leave and needed to stay at the hospital with her parents.
Shi Jie nodded, indicating his understanding.
Recently, Zhou Lin’s condition had worsened, and given her current state, she indeed couldn’t continue working at school.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhou stayed in the hospital all the time.
As for Shi Ming, Zhou Lin suggested letting the hired nanny, Xiang Rong, help take care of him.
On Mr. and Mrs. Zhou’s side, she planned to hire a caregiver in addition to being there herself, so there wouldn’t be any issue.
Shi Ming was still young, and she wasn’t comfortable leaving him at home alone.
Shi Jie understood that this was the best solution.
He wanted to refuse, but had no reason to do so.
He could only agree.
Xiang Rong smiled as she assured Zhou Lin and Shi Jie that she wouldn’t let the child’s studies fall behind.
