Chapter 214: Secondary Injury

Yaoshan Workers’ Hospital, Cadre Health Care Department.

"Does it hurt? It should be a little painful, but you have to overcome it and bear it. It's just the last shiver." Xie Hushan embraced Fu Chuang, who was covered with a military coat and looked normal except for his pale face. He put his face close to Fu Chuang's and whispered:
"If you really can't help it, I have an idea. I heard that pain can be transferred. If you hit other places harder, you won't feel the pain in the place you're in now. Pick a place on your body and I'll hit you harder."

"Brother, this is really the place. I would never dare to lie to you." Fu Chuang pointed to a cadre ward and said weakly, looking at Xie Hushan with fear in his eyes.

In the past few years, he has been regarded as a well-known gangster and a nobleman in Bingyang County. The fact that the son of Xu Yanwang, who was once famous in Yaoshan, has to say hello to him when he comes to Bingyang is not only due to his father's relationship, but also because he is a powerful figure among the younger generation in Bingyang County.

But he had been in Bingyang for so long, and he had never seen the way Xie Hushan played.

He is just trying to get by, while Xie Hushan is risking his life.

He plays with his own life and the lives of others.

In the eyes of such people, human life is just like grass. Which gangster wouldn't inquire about the other party's background and say a few harsh words before taking action?
He didn't. He just came up and stabbed you, and then asked you to follow his arrangements.

At this time, the bayonet was still in his stomach, and it was probably warmed up by his intestines.

Fu Chuang had warned Xie Hushan that if he died from excessive blood loss, Xie Hushan would be shot. If Xie Hushan let him go, he would pretend that nothing had happened and would never report it to the police.

As a result, Xie Hushan's attitude was that as long as he didn't pull out the thorns himself and wouldn't die, he should just endure it.

If Fu Chuang didn't help him find Xu Junsheng, Xie Hushan promised that his whole family would be shot first. As for if they could still report the case after being shot, it would be considered that Fu Chuang's family was lucky.

"Then let's go in." After hearing Fu Chuang's assurance, Xie Hushan embraced Fu Chuang and pushed open the door of the ward. When the door was opened, Xie Hushan said with a click of his tongue: "The specifications of the cadre ward are indeed different."

There is only one bed in the huge room, with fluorescent light tubes hanging from the ceiling. Next to it is a rest area consisting of a set of modular sofas, and a separate seat for the nurse on duty is designed in the corner.

There were only two people in the room, a man and a woman. The man was the young man that Xie Hushan had stuffed into the car before. He was lying on the hospital bed with a bruised face. A middle-aged woman was sitting on the seat next to him. She was peeling an apple and talking to the young man:
"How could you be so ignorant? Your father is almost mad at you. He has never been bullied in his life, but you made such a fuss just before he retired. How much..."

"Fu Chuang, why did you come here specially?" The door opened, and both of them looked towards the door, looking at Fu Chuang who was walking in front, and did not pay attention to Xie Hushan who was behind, because Xie Hushan's position and his head down made him look like Fu Chuang's follower.

Xu Junsheng was a little surprised when he saw Fu Chuang pushing the door in. Although he and Fu Chuang had a good relationship, it had not reached this point. Besides, Fu Chuang was a sensible man. He should know that he had suffered such a big loss and he certainly was not in the mood to talk nonsense with them now.

When Fu Chuang heard Xu Junsheng's question, his face was full of bitterness and he didn't know how to start for a moment.

Xie Hushan had already raised his head and looked at Xu Junsheng on the bed: "Little yamen, I am here to visit you on behalf of the peasant comrades and railway workers. Fu Chuang has personally helped to lead the way."

"You're the fucking Zhongping Hu San'er!" Xu Junsheng saw Xie Hushan's face change drastically, and he was about to sit up from the bed and reach for his pillow.

"Time is precious, let's not waste time on empty politeness." Xie Hushan kicked the middle-aged woman next to him who saw that the situation was not good and stood up to call for help, then he lifted the quilt on the bed with his left hand, revealing Xu Junsheng's body in a hospital gown. He put the pistol in his right hand against Xu Junsheng's left knee, and without any hesitation, he pulled the trigger cleanly!
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out.

Before he could even scream, the second bullet hit Xu Junsheng's right knee!
"Don't lie next time. Not every time there is a good person like me who is willing to do good and help others. When you spend the rest of your life sitting in a wheelchair and enjoying your life, you should always remember that it is my credit." After Xie Hushan finished the fight, he took out a Type 54 pistol from under the man's pillow, put it on his waist, turned around and walked out:
"Little yamen, don't think about going against me again. I can break both of your legs today and kill your whole family tomorrow. I am a proletarian and I am barefoot."

Behind him, the woman cried and hugged Xu Junsheng, who was screaming on the hospital bed. Then she looked at the blood-stained bed, rolled her eyes and fainted.

As soon as Xie Hushan opened the door, he saw Da Qiao and the public security leader who had driven him away before walking in accompanied by nurses, carrying gifts for visiting patients.

The gunshots just now made quite a noise. The police officer reacted quickly. When he heard the gunshots, he immediately signaled Da Qiao and the nurse to stop at a distance. Then he rushed to the door of the ward. As soon as Xie Hushan opened the door, the gun in his hand was directly pointed at Xie Hushan's temple:
"Hands up! Don't move!"

Xie Hushan slowly raised his hands. The other party skillfully took away the two pistols from his body. After making sure that there were no other weapons, he handcuffed Xie Hushan behind his back.

Seeing Xie Hushan, Da Qiao, whose forehead was still wrapped in gauze, was so scared that she threw away the fruit in her hand:

"What the hell! Why are you here? Didn't Taozi tell you that this matter is settled?!"

"Who told you that marriage and apology are called settling things?" Xie Hushan had a look of dejection on his face, but he actually had a handcuff key hidden in his sleeve, just in case he was handcuffed and couldn't get away. So he was not panicking, thinking of finding a chance to open the handcuffs when no one was paying attention and then leave. At this time, he pretended to be angry and said:
"You married him, and my wife apologized to him. How could I be happy about this matter, which was so trivial?"

At this time, the public security officer had walked around the ward and came out, saying to Da Qiao, "Two shots were fired, both hitting the kneecap. Mr. Xu is really disabled, and even gods can't save him."

"Which father told you that I want to marry him to settle the matter?" Hearing the public security's words, Da Qiao looked desperate. She stood in front of Xie Hushan, pointed at his forehead and cursed:

"Do you know how much effort your wife and I put into dealing with the trouble I caused? We didn't sleep for a whole day and night, and finally forced the guy surnamed Xu to apologize to me, accept the beating from your brother-in-law Song Tiesheng, and keep Song Tiesheng's job?"

Xie Hushan was a little surprised when he heard the wrong tone of the words: "Isn't it that you married that young yamen inside, and my wife apologized and paid compensation on my behalf?"

"If I wanted to marry him, wouldn't I have married him earlier? I saved your brother-in-law, but it's not worth it for me to sleep with such a thing? Am I so worthless?" Da Qiao was so angry that she was almost out of breath. She opened the door to see the scene inside, then stepped out and cursed at Xie Hushan who was standing against the wall:

"Xie Hushan, I was a bad mouth. I mentioned your name and caused your brother-in-law to stand up for me and get into trouble. But I settled the matter myself and saved your brother-in-law's job. He promised me that he would never pursue the matter. So I brought some fruit to see him, but you ended up using a gun to beat him up and cripple him?"

Xie Hushan smacked his lips and changed the subject: "Hey, how did you settle this?" "..." Da Qiao pointed at herself and said to Xie Hushan: "Me! I am your fucking wife now! Your wife and I spent a day and a night to complete all our formalities. Your age has been changed at the commune and the brigade. Our marriage certificate is now in my hand and Taozi's, one copy each. Do you understand? We are a legal couple recognized by the state!"

"It means that Song Tiesheng didn't do anything wrong by beating him. The guy surnamed Xu was just a hooligan to your wife and bullied his sister-in-law. So Song Tiesheng was right to beat him. If he continues to make trouble, then I will handle it impartially. I will kill him for being a hooligan. Yaoshan can't sue him. I will take the marriage certificate to Yanjing to file a complaint!"

"That's why this kid got scared. He said that we won't pursue each other. He won't pursue the fact that Tiesheng beat him, and I won't pursue the fact that he was a hooligan. Let's get this matter over with. I was thinking that after the new year, before you and Taozi get married, we can quietly complete the divorce procedures. No one will know about it, and we'll be done with it."

After listening to Da Qiao angrily talking about the two women's methods of settling the dispute, Xie Hushan took a breath of cold air. As a man, he really couldn't think of such a despicable and shady trick.

No wonder the ancients always said that the most vicious people were women.

This is a vicious trick. I don't know whether it was thought up by Taozi or Da Qiao. Song Tiesheng said that he saw Xu Junsheng teasing his sister-in-law, so let Da Qiao really become his sister-in-law from a legal perspective. Xu Junsheng should stop thinking that he and Da Qiao are in a romantic relationship. After all, Xie Hushan and Da Qiao have a marriage certificate now. If you fall in love with a married man, it is also a crime of hooliganism and adultery in this era.

Especially when Da Qiao denied it, it further confirmed Xu Junsheng's guilt.

The two women relied on this point to squeeze each other out.

Don't ask, the operation of changing his age and issuing a marriage certificate must have been done by Lao Yang himself. He had to use the official seal, so Yin Qianfeng and Han Laogou would not be suspicious.

No wonder I didn’t ask, and Lao Yang and Taozi didn’t tell me about it either. This matter is indeed not easy to talk about... but it is indeed useful.

In this day and age, as long as a woman has the nerve to accuse a man of being a hooligan to her, she can convict him even without evidence.

I have always been thinking about becoming a Hong Kong businessman out of anger, but the two women ended up settling the matter in a scoundrelly way. According to Da Qiao, this was mainly to protect Song Tiesheng from being affected.

Originally, he wanted to vent his anger on Song Tiesheng, but he didn't realize that this was not revenge, but rather a secondary injury to Xu Junsheng.

The first time, Da Qiao and Taozi forced him to reconcile, and the second time, he broke both of his legs.

Although this is reasonable, it is a bit too bullying...

"Auntie, I was a little careless." Xie Hushan said in a low voice:

"Does your head injury still hurt? Come on, hit me a couple of times to vent your anger. I lost control of my anger when I thought about how you got me into trouble with your dirty talk. If I knew you were capable of such an inhuman thing, I would never dare to fight you even if I was beaten to death."

"It was all over, but now you shot him twice! Xie Damenr, what's going on in your head? Oh, women have to marry, sleep with people and make trouble to settle things. Can't we women handle the whole thing beautifully? If I had known you did this, I wouldn't have let you hit me twice in the daytime! I liked you before, but why do you look so bad on me now? Especially since you fucking look down on women!" Da Qiao turned her face away in anger.

"Brother Chuang, you are too impulsive. Why didn't you enlighten me when I made a mistake? This misunderstanding is mainly caused by you..." Xie Hushan was so angry after being scolded by Da Qiao that he lowered his head and dared not refute. Just then, Fu Chuang came out laboriously and wanted to find a nurse to pull out the bayonet and bandage his wound. When he saw Fu Chuang coming out, Xie Hushan immediately vented all his complaints on Fu Chuang.

Fu Chuang was completely stunned. Am I too impulsive? I don't want to enlighten you? I am bleeding so much that my intestines would have flowed out if they weren't blocked by the bayonet...

I've been busy all the way, trying to guide you, but you're trying to scare me with my entire family's lives?

"This is all because of this... No, when Xiao Yanei is discharged from the hospital, I will pay for you to make a pair of crutches. We have a good carpenter in our brigade..." Xie Hushan was handcuffed and looked into the ward. He said to Xu Junsheng, who was surrounded by several nurses, with apologetic expression:

"I thought you beat up my brother and ruined his future, but you could sleep with the girl with a clear conscience after that. I listened to my wife's apology, so I was impulsive and couldn't hold back my anger. I didn't expect that I realized now that my feelings are reversed. Otherwise, I would have to be the son of a cadre, well-educated and able to hold back my anger. I am a country bumpkin and can't compare with you, Mr. Xu. Who would have thought that you would give in? I knew you would give in, so I shouldn't have had that attitude just now. Fu Chuang brought me this, and he bears the main responsibility."

"You're still fucking poor, are you really not afraid of death?" Da Qiao stamped her feet in anger: "You fucking think you're fighting in the Seventh Porcelain Factory, do you know who Xu's father is?"

"Nonsense, I came here just because I knew about this." Xie Hushan listened to Da Qiao scolding him for a long time. He had been smiling, but Da Qiao kept scolding him, and the frivolous smile disappeared from his face. He said with a stern face:
"Alright, alright, my aunt, just give me a few words of advice to satisfy your craving. If you use dirty words in front of me again, I will not acknowledge you as my elder."

"Yanni, I'll take him back to Qinyu City. Although the situation was settled before, it's changing now. Besides, Xu Xinfu now has considerable influence in Yaoshan, and the old man also said that Xu Xinfu has a strong foundation. If we keep him here, we're afraid that we'll be retaliated against." The public security officer came out and said to Da Qiao.

"He dares to retaliate! Let him do it, we haven't divorced yet anyway, I will say that it was because the guy surnamed Xu behaved like a hooligan to me, my husband was not happy, so I will take revenge myself! Not only will I take revenge on him, I will also go to Yanjing to file a complaint, accusing the son of the leader of Yaoshan of being lawless and molesting me. It's useless to touch me, but if I touch him, he will get shot twice. Is that too much?" After hearing what the other party said, Da Qiao raised her eyebrows and said:

"Things have come to this point. I will still accuse him of being a hooligan to a married woman like me. If he dares to report the case and have people arrested, I will continue to sue him. Even if he dies, it will be Xie Hushan who dies. At worst, I will say that I was abused by the guy named Xu, and Xu will be buried with Xie Hushan!"

Xie Hushan nodded repeatedly while listening to this, and added: "It's not excessive, it's not excessive. We are all reasonable people. You are so handsome. If I were your man, I would shoot their whole family with a machine gun if anyone touched you. So what I did was not excessive at all."

"Also, it's okay to spend some money on a lawsuit like this. If you need money, ask Taozi for it. It's not shameful to spend some money on this kind of thing. By the way, you can do something else and publicize something that the country likes to hear. Aren't you the daughter-in-law of Zhongping now? There were two martyrs in Zhongping who were framed as traitors by their fathers, and their ashes were dug out. The country has to listen to this and punish him, if not his son..."

"You go to Qinyu City and stay there for a few days." Da Qiao looked at Xie Hushan and said unhappily, "My father is in Qinyu City and is responsible for fishing for the country. If you go there, at least you don't have to worry about someone punishing you."

Xie Hushan slowly twisted the handcuff key and asked, but he had already started to remove the handcuffs from behind his back: "Is it suitable? Otherwise, I'd better run away by myself."

"Where can you run to? Besides, what's inappropriate about it? If he knew that you killed Xu Junsheng, he would be more pleasing to you. If you killed Xu Xinfu, he would be able to set off firecrackers. That guy named Xu almost killed him. Only my mother is not a human being. She still wants to have a good relationship with that guy named Xu and let me date his son." Da Qiao said.

Xie Hushan said:
"Why don't you let me go, and I'll go shoot Old Xu twice more, and make a father-son match for the Xu family, and make your dad happier?"
