I traded scrap metal for hundreds of billions

Chapter 71 Mother's Death
After they left, Wen Zhi and Wen Fangming were the only ones left in the ward.

Wen Fangming felt Wen Zhi's sadness, slowly got up from the bed, carefully came behind Wen Zhi, reached out and pulled the corner of Wen Zhi's clothes.

He hesitated for a moment and comforted her, "Sister, don't worry. It's always my second brother who has taken care of Xiaoxiao and me. He has accompanied us to the hospital many times. He will accompany Xiaoxiao this time, so she will be fine."

When Wen Zhi heard Wen Fangming's voice, she turned around and saw him standing barefoot on the ground, his young face full of worry for her.

Her heart warmed up, and she didn't want to make Wen Fangming worry anymore, "Well, sister also believes that Xiaoyan will take good care of Xiaoxiao."

She gently picked up ten-year-old Wen Fangming and carried him back to the hospital bed.

"Fang Ming, you are still weak. Don't go to bed barefoot. Lie down and rest."

Upon hearing this, Wen Fangming immediately lay down on the bed obediently, then tilted his head to look at Wen Zhi, "Sister, maybe in a few days, my second brother will come back with Xiao Xiao who can talk."

Wen Zhi's eyes showed expectation, and the corners of her lips slightly raised, "When the time comes, you will be discharged from the hospital, and then we will move to our new home and celebrate properly."

Wen Fangming nodded vigorously, "Okay!"

Wen Zhi picked up an apple and began to peel it. "Fang Ming, you said before that you wanted to tell me about your mother. Why don't you tell me now?"

All her understanding of her mother came from those letters, from the emotions expressed in every word.

She knew very little about her mother herself.

Wen Fangming held the apple she had peeled, took a bite, and began to say, "My mother has always been very gentle, but I don't really have much impression of her."

"When I was six years old, my mother died while giving birth to Xiao Xiao. I remember the night she died."

Having said that, he put down the apple in his hand, looked up at Wen Zhi, and his eyes turned red.

"Sister, Mom wouldn't have had a difficult birth. It was because Dad lost money gambling that night and came home to take the money to continue gambling. Mom didn't agree, so he beat her."

"He kicked my mother to the ground and kicked her in the stomach very hard."

When Wen Zhi heard Wen Fangming's sobs and saw his tearful face, she immediately hugged him with heartache and quickly wiped his eyes with paper.

"Fang Ming, I'm sorry, my sister didn't know about this."

Wen Fangming nestled in Wen Zhi's warm embrace and continued, "Sister, this is not your fault, it's all our dad's fault!"

He said angrily: "Mom was originally due in a month, but because Dad got drunk that night and abused Mom, she had to give birth early because of heavy bleeding."

"He stole all the money from the family and left my mother lying in a pool of blood, and went straight to the casino to continue gambling."

"It was my brother who finally took my mother and me to the hospital in the pouring rain on the only tricycle in our family."

"But when we were only halfway there, mom gave birth to Xiao Xiao in a rainstorm and told us to live well."

"After that, my mother passed away."

At the end of his speech, Wen Fangming burst into tears.

When Wen Zhi heard these words, her eyes turned red and tears rolled down her eyes.

She seemed to be able to see the scene.

Thunder rumbled in the sky and heavy rain poured down.

Gu Yan, who was only twelve years old, wore a torn raincoat and stood with his skinny body straight. He braved the heavy rain and pedaled the tricycle with all his might.

In the car was six-year-old Wen Fangming, holding a tattered umbrella. He was already pale from the cold, but he did not forget to hug his mother tightly who was wearing a raincoat.

He put his little head against his mother's cold forehead and called her tremblingly.

"Mom, hold on a little longer. My brother will take us to the hospital soon." But the mother was already very weak. She clenched her fists desperately, trying not to collapse completely.

Her lower body was covered in bright red blood, which turned into turbid blood water when washed by the rain.

She felt a constant sharp pain in her abdomen and could feel her life slipping away quickly.

Her eyelashes trembled, and her bloodless lips began to turn purple.

She stretched out her hand, looked at her two sons, and cried, "Xiao Yan, stop kicking and find a place to hide from the rain."

Gu Yan rode forward regardless of what his mother said.

"Mom, I'm going to take you to the hospital. You're going to be okay!"

His voice was trembling, but his back was full of determination.

The mother clenched her fists tightly, feeling the uneasiness of the baby in her belly, and knew that she had to give birth to the baby immediately, otherwise the baby would die in her womb.

She bit her lower lip and said with difficulty: "Xiao Yan, I'm about to give birth. Let's find a place nearby."

Only then did Gu Yan find a place nearby where he could barely hide from the rain.

In that heavy rain, the mother gave birth to Gu Xiaoxiao with difficulty and pain.

After giving birth, she used up her last bit of strength, wrapped Xiaoxiao in clean clothes, and handed her to Gu Yan beside her.

She breathed weakly and said with a dying breath: "Xiao Yan, take good care of Fang Ming and your sister from now on. Mom can't take care of you anymore."

After saying that, he passed away in the dark night and pouring rain.

The three children were left to depend on each other from then on.

When Wen Fangming saw Wen Zhi crying, he quickly took out some paper and gave it to Wen Zhi.

"Sister, don't cry. Now that you're back and got daddy away, we won't be bullied anymore. Mom will be happy when she sees this."

Wen Zhi looked at Wen Fangming, who also had red eyes from crying, and tried to comfort her, which made her feel even more sad.

"Fang Ming, is this also why you changed your last name from Gu to your mother's last name from Wen?"

Wen Fangming nodded, "I don't want to have the same last name as my disgusting father, so I asked my second brother to change my household registration to the same last name as my mother."

Wen Zhi touched his head and said, "Sister will never let Gu Shaoxiong appear in front of you again, and will make him pay the price for what happened to mom."

Now, she suddenly felt that the few days of torture she had allowed him to endure from debt collection was too lenient.

A father like this who is not a human being should never appear in front of them again in his life, and he should always be a mouse that cannot stand the light!

Hearing this, Wen Fangming looked at Wen Zhi expectantly, "Sister, do you really have a way to prevent him from ever showing up?"

"Is it true that he won't come back to steal money and beat us up?"

When Wen Zhi saw the fear of Gu Shaoxiong in Wen Fangming's eyes, she felt a burning pain in her heart.

She held his hands tightly, her eyes particularly firm.

"Yes, sister will keep her word. She will make sure he doesn't come back and can't beat you again."

"You don't have to be afraid anymore. I won't let him come back to bully and hurt you like he did last time, and I won't let him kill you for money!"

She wanted to let Gu Shaoxiong fall into the hands of those debt collectors and make his life a living hell!
