CHAPTER 954 FOUR WALLS AND A ROOF
"It's okay. Don't worry about this trash. Let's go. We want to have a look at your place," said Jiang Ning.
"Sure! Please come with me!" said Hua Sheng hurriedly.
He was grateful for Lin Yuzhen and Jiang Ning from the bottom of his heart.
If not for them, he didn't know when he would get these wages. Maybe when Zhou Zhenghu grew a conscience or felt merciful.
Hua Sheng left with Jiang Ning and Lin Yuzhen while all the other workers went their own way. Bai Mao finally dared to stand up before walking over to Zhou Zhenghu and helped him up.
"Mr Zhou! Mr Zhou, are you alright?"
"Don't touch me!" yelled Zhou Zhenghu immediately.
"What happened?" Bai Mao didn't understand why and pulled Zhou Zhenghu's hand gently. Zhou Zhenghu immediately shrieked in pain like he was getting slaughtered.
"AHHH...Don't touch me!"
It felt like there was a force pressing on him that made his bones shrink together. Just a tiny touch was enough to make him suffer great pain.
He could only curl his body up like a dog and didn't dare to move an inch. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
"Mr Zhou, are you okay? What happened to you?"
Bai Mao raised his arms and didn't dare to touch him anymore. What happened to him?
What did Jiang Ning do to Zhou Zhenghu to make him end up like this?
"Hurry up and call the ambulance!" Zhou Zhenghu was on the brink of tears. His blood rushed to his limbs rapidly when he remained in this strange position and swelled so badly that it might explode anytime. Even his fingers and toes were swelling from blood congestion.
"Okay okay!" Bai Mao quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed for an ambulance. He had never been so lost and anxious before.
"Hello? Emergency! Help! We need help over here!"
"Mr Zhou can only stay curled up like a dog now...Hurry over quickly!"
When Zhou Zhenghu heard this, he eyes rolled as he blacked out.
Meanwhile.
At Hua Sheng's place.
Jiang Ning and Lin Yuzhen stepped into the 430 square foot house.
It was a simple house without much furniture. It was literally four walls and a roof.
"I'm sorry, but the place is quite small. I hope you don't mind," smiled Hua Sheng awkwardly. After bringing two chairs over for them to sit on, he poured water for them. He seemed particularly constrained and a little embarrassed.
When he went to Donghai, Lin Yuzhen had done her best to host him. She gave him good food, provided accommodation, and got him a doctor to treat his injuries.
Yet all he could offer them was plain water now that they were at his place.
Jiang Ning and Lin Yuzhen paid it no attention. They looked around his house and sighed in their hearts. Hua Sheng and the other workers indeed led a difficult life.
A curtain separated the house into two spaces. When Hua Sheng heard a low and tortured voice coming from inside, his eyes started tearing again.
"That's my wife. She has a serious case of arthritis and is unable to work. When the weather turns cold, she can only lie in bed," his voice was somewhat choked as he reached out to pat the money in his pocket. "Now that I have enough money,
I'm going to take her to the hospital for treatment and see if it'll help"
Lin Yuzhen glanced at the curtain, “Can I go in to see her?"
Lin Yuzhen hesitated for a moment as he was worried Lin Yuzhen might get a scare from the state his wife was in. But then again, if Lin Yuzhen was so easily frightened, she wouldn't have come all the way to Xishan to help them.
"Miss Lin, this way please," Hua Sheng led Lin Yuzhen inside.
The small space behind the curtain only contained a large bed.
A lady was lying in bed with a sallow looking face. Clearly this arthritis had really taken a toll on her energy and she couldn't even comb her disheveled hair.
"Honey, our new boss is here to see you!" said Hua Sheng. "They helped us get the money back!"
The woman lying in bed opened her eyes and was so touched that she didn't know what to say. She reached her hand out to hold Lin Yuzhen's but was afraid she might not like it.
"Th-thankyou..."
Lin Yuzhen went right up and used both her hands to hold hers.
"Mrs Hua, there's no need to thank us. We were just doing our job!”
