Chapter 1215 Forced Someone to Death
Qi Hui was so scared that she dared not speak any more, but she kept pushing Zhang Ran back, hinting that she should find a chance to escape. This matter had nothing to do with Xiaoyue, and she should not be involved.
Luo Jiansheng was not blind, so how could he not see Qi Hui's little trick? He threatened viciously, "If she leaves, your whole family will have to go to jail to pay for my father's life."
Qi Hui's eyes instantly turned red and she felt like crying out of grievance.
Zhang Ran took a deep look at Luo Jiansheng, reached out and grabbed Qi Hui's hand, pulled her into the room, closed the door, and pushed Qi Hui to sit on the bed.
Qi Hui cried and blamed herself: "It's my fault. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have invited you to dinner today. You got blackmailed as well." Two hundred thousand! They could never pay it back in their lifetime.
Zhang Ran walked over and sat next to her, patting her shoulder gently. "Aunt, you and Uncle Li don't need to worry about this matter." He leaned over and whispered a few words into her ear.
Qi Hui felt like she was struck by lightning. She sat on the edge of the bed like a puppet. Even when Zhang Ran opened the door and walked out, she still didn't react at all, as if her soul had been sucked out.
The village chief Liu Peng and his men hurried to the clinic and saw a group of people crying around the old village chief. He quickly pushed through the crowd and squeezed in. Seeing the old village chief's body, he turned his head to look for Doctor Li and walked over to ask about the situation, "Why did the old village chief suddenly die?"
Doctor Li looked past the village chief and towards the Luo brothers, and said vaguely: "The old village chief was already dying when he brought him here."
The village chief immediately turned around and asked Luo Da, "What's going on?"
Luo cried until his eyes turned red. "My father was diagnosed with a terminal illness. He was so depressed that he drank pesticide to commit suicide. By the time we found out, it was too late."
The news that the old village chief was diagnosed with a terminal illness has spread throughout the village. His sons are not filial and no one is willing to spend money to help him with his treatment. They all say that a terminal illness is a bottomless pit and that in the end both the patient and the money will be lost, so they advise him to give up treatment.
As for his daughters, the village chief paid high prices for them and married them off far away.
Even if they were willing to pay, their son-in-law would definitely not agree.
In order to get married, they are still in debt and have not paid off their debts. They hate their father-in-law's family and wish the old village chief would die soon. How could they possibly lend him money?
But who is not afraid of death? The old village chief was also afraid of death, and he went everywhere to borrow money for medical treatment. Naturally, he also went to Liu Peng's house to borrow money.
But everyone is in trouble, how much money can they lend him? Besides, the lender is also worried that if he dies, his sons will not acknowledge the loan, and the money lent will be wasted.
So the old village chief borrowed money from all his relatives and friends, and in the end only Liu Peng and Doctor Li lent him some money.
But how could this little money be enough to treat the disease? Everyone was thinking: Maybe he had no hope of borrowing money and was too desperate to commit suicide by drinking pesticide.
Seeing that several brothers were immersed in grief, everyone felt it was hypocritical and despised them in their hearts: When the old village chief was alive, he refused to give money to treat his illness and forced him to death. Now he is crying so sadly, for whom is he showing it to?
The village chief sighed deeply: "The dead cannot be resurrected, please accept my condolences." He caught a glimpse of Xiaoyue sitting in the corner and Qiuyu standing behind her like a door god. When did Xiaoyue come back? Why did she appear here with Doctor Li?
Grandma Luo cried the most sadly. The village chief and others took turns to comfort her and helped carry the old village chief's body back home to prepare for his funeral.
Before leaving, Luo Da winked at Luo Si, asking him to keep an eye on Zhang Ran to prevent him from running away.
