Chapter 553: Playing Pitiable in Public
Liu Haizhong is now as thin as a ghost, and his wife has also lost a lot of weight. Both of them are unkempt and their clothes are tattered. Liu Haizhong can only sit on a tattered cart pushed by his wife. It is obvious that both of his legs are broken, and one of his arms is hanging around his neck with a torn belt. Both of them are listless and look like a pair of beggars.
When they asked to meet Liu Guangtian, the guard couldn't believe that they were Liu Guangtian's beastly parents. He stared at them for a long time before he vaguely recognized that these two people seemed to be Liu Guangtian's parents.
So they were surprised and almost burst out laughing. The rude one even asked them directly and rudely, "Oh! Who did I think it was? It turns out to be you two?
Didn't you guys cut off your relationship with Xiao Liu a long time ago? Did you disown their two sons a long time ago? If I remember correctly, you signed the document of breaking off the relationship in front of the leaders of the street office!
What happened to you two? Is this retribution? How did you end up like this? Are you trying to blackmail Xiao Liu from our factory?"
After hearing what the security guard of the machinery factory said, Liu Haizhong and his wife felt ashamed, but now they really had no other choice. After Liu Haizhong was crippled by Lin Geng, he could only lie in bed every day and it was difficult for him to even turn over.
Moreover, they had no money and could not even get enough to eat. Liu Haizhong's wife had to go out to pick up scraps and beg for food during the day and had no time to take care of Liu Haizhong. Liu Haizhong could only lie in bed alone at home. He could not even take care of his own urination and defecation. He would often poop in his trouser pockets and could only lie in his own feces and urine and wait for his wife to come back to help him clean up.
In order to reduce the number of times he pulled his trouser pockets, his wife asked him to eat less and drink less water. Liu Haizhong himself could only try to eat and drink less. As a result, the fat was quickly consumed and he lost weight rapidly.
Moreover, due to being bedridden for a long time, not turning over in time, and often pulling at his trouser pockets, Liu Haizhong developed bedsores on his buttocks and back. Also, due to malnutrition, his injuries recovered very slowly. People often threw bricks at his house, and people came to cause trouble for him from time to time. He was worried every day and was almost mentally collapsed.
Liu Haizhong didn't have any shame now! After all the torture he had gone through, all his self-esteem was gone.
With the arrival of winter, there were not many good tiles left on the roof of Liu Haizhong's house, and all the glass was smashed. The house was like an ice cellar. He had no money to buy coal for heating, and even the iron coal stove used for heating in the house had been taken away. His wife built a simple earthen coal stove with broken bricks and mud. Even if she had coal, she didn't dare to burn it for fear of gas poisoning.
Even his family's quilts and mattresses were torn into pieces. Now that the weather is getting colder, the couple can only huddle in the torn quilts and shiver at night at home.
But that’s not all. The house he lives in now also belongs to the steel mill. He just exchanged it with his co-workers, but it is still a house of the steel mill after all.
At first, Li Huaide didn't say that he wanted to take back his house, but Liu Haizhong asked his wife to go to the factory to find Li Huaide and make a fuss several times, wanting the factory to return his work position to him, even if he had to clean the toilets after his injury healed. However, Li Huaide ignored them.
So Liu Haizhong wrote a letter to threaten Li Huaide, asking him not to push him too far. He said that if Li Huaide was so heartless, he would sue Li Huaide, saying that all the bad things he had done were done by Li Huaide.
However, after Li Huaide fired him, he had destroyed all the evidence involving Liu Haizhong, and Liu Haizhong did not have any evidence in his hands to prove that it was he who instructed Liu Haizhong to raid the homes of those people.
Seeing that Liu Haizhong dared to threaten him, Li Huaide was no longer willing to tolerate Liu Haizhong, so he asked the factory's housing management department to take back Liu Haizhong's house and drive them out onto the street.
Liu Haizhong wanted to sue Li Huaide, but was threatened that if he dared to talk nonsense, he would not see the next day's sunrise. Liu Haizhong was so scared that he gave up the idea of suing Li Huaide.
Seeing that they were about to be forced to sleep on the streets, life became unbearable for Liu Haizhong and his wife. They had no choice but to tear off their faces and put them in their pockets, and then come to Liu Guangtian with a shameless face.
Liu Haizhong’s wife knelt down at the entrance of the machinery factory, kowtowed to the guards who stopped them, and cried, “Comrades, please, let Liu Guangtian come out to see us! We really can’t live anymore! Even if we have wronged Liu Guangtian in the past, we are still his parents after all. We can’t let him watch us starve to death on the streets, right?
I beg you! Look at what has become of our head of the family. Please be kind and let Liu Guangtian come out to see us!"
Liu Haizhong's wife's kneeling really made the security guard at the entrance of the machinery factory feel a little embarrassed. Although they all knew about the affair between Xiao Liu from the factory and the parents, and they also knew that Liu Haizhong and his wife were really good-for-nothings, no one could deny that Liu Haizhong and his wife were still Liu Guangtian's parents after all.
Even if they severed their relationship, blood ties cannot be severed just like that. Besides, Liu Haizhong and his wife are really miserable now. If they stop Liu Guangtian from seeing them, and if something really happens to the couple, Liu Guangtian blames them later, they will have a hard time explaining themselves.
So after a few security guards discussed it, they asked Liu Haizhong and his wife to wait outside the door and not to kneel at the gate to affect their factory's production. Then they sent someone to the factory to find Liu Guangtian.
When Liu Guangtian heard that Liu Haizhong and his wife came to the factory gate to cause trouble again and wanted to see him, he felt a little annoyed. He knew very well what the couple wanted to do and their current situation.
But he really couldn't sympathize with the couple. When he thought of how they had treated him and his younger brother Liu Guangfu in the past, he gnashed his teeth in hatred. Now they had no way out, and he thought of their two sons and wanted them to take care of them.
In this case, Liu Guangtian decided to end all ties with the couple today. After being silent for a long time, he gritted his teeth, stood up, and followed the factory security guards towards the gate.
At this time, Liu Haizhong and his wife, covered in dust and dirt, were standing at the factory gate, crying and complaining to passers-by who were watching the fun and the workers who were getting off work, telling them how unfilial Liu Guangtian was and how they had raised Liu Guangtian and his younger brother Liu Guangfu with great difficulty.
Although Liu Haizhong usually had a bad temper and would occasionally hit Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, who wouldn't hit their children as a parent? Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, these two ungrateful people, held a grudge against the couple and severed their relationship with them after they found a job and became more independent.
Now the old couple is desperate, they don't even have a place to live and they are penniless. They are about to starve to death on the street, but Liu Guangtian still doesn't care about them. Is there any justice in this world? They even cursed Liu Guangtian as an ungrateful person.
