TRANSMIGRATED TO THE 80S TO BECOME STEPMOTHERS FOR FIVE HIGHER-UPS

Chapter 267: Pay With His Life

Zhao Lan's mind buzzed and became empty. He was confused and had many messy thoughts. His face was also filled with regret. Why...Why did he accidentally say that out loud?

He racked his brain, wanting to say something to explain, but before he could say anything, suddenly a thud sounded from the side.

Zhao Lan was surprised. He tilted his head and followed the light from Little Bei's flashlight until he saw the couple who lived closest to Shao's Residence. They had outer clothes covering them, and it was clear that they had come in a hurry. They also held a flashlight in their hands, but compared to the Little Bei flashlight, the light was negligible. One looked and one could tell that the flashlight had run out of battery, just like the one in Zhao Lan's hands.

They stared at Zhao Lan with their mouths wide open, their faces filled with shock. They also felt excitement and disbelief after hearing the gossip.

Zhao Lan's expression changed. How can anyone hear that? What if they hear that? If word gets out, what will happen to his reputation?

Zhao Lan had no time to think and quickly explained, “I. Even though I hate him, I don't do anything. I just didn't take him to the hospital. Everyone in the countryside gives birth at home. Why does he have to go to the hospital? I just stick to my own habits. Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell. It was normal for her to die during childbirth. ”

Zhao Lan defended herself. This was also why Shao Dong felt strange that he did not feel guilty. It was true that he did not injure anyone with his own hands. Many people give birth at home and can only blame their bad luck if they die while doing so. If this is wrong, there are a lot of people who are wrong like him.

“But he begged you. He was in so much pain and he wailed and begged for mercy. He said that he could not stand it anymore, but you are still indifferent.” Shao Dong cut him off.

“You locked us up and barred us from going out. You forced us to sleep and told us not to. But I heard everything..”.

He had heard Bai Lu's cries and shouts, as well as the sound of scratching. It was just that he did not know whether Bai Lu was scratching the bed board or the door. But the voices kept spinning in his mind.

He was too young at the time, so he had an incomplete memory. He was always afraid that all this was just his imagination.

In the end, it's all true. Everything's real. It was actually Zhao Lan who indirectly caused Bai Lu's death. How desperate, how scared, and how bad he felt at that moment…

Shao Dong, Shao Xi, and Shao Nan wanted to settle all of this so that they did not have a thorn in their hearts that they could not remove. In the end, when they found out the truth, all they did was stab this thorn deeper into their hearts, making fresh blood seep out again.

Shao Dong could not speak, but his entire body trembled. Shao Nan frantically searched in her mind the provisions of the law to punish Zhao Lan.

In the past, he had always been able to find the appropriate legal provisions as quickly as possible, but at that moment, no matter how hard he searched, he could not find them. There was no suitable provision to punish Zhao Lan. Moreover, seven years had passed since this incident, and the cause of Bai Lu's death was heavy bleeding from a difficult delivery.

For the first time, Shao Nan was helpless. He can't say anything. Shao Xi did not expect this. Only one word came out of his mouth. “I won't let you go..”.

It was unfair for the heavens to let a person like Zhao Lan live.

"What do you want to do? How can you treat me like this? If it wasn't for me, you would have long since died. I was the one who thought of a way to revive you. If it wasn't for me, you would have been dead a long time ago.”

Overwhelmed with fear, Zhao Lan tried to defend herself. However, as he spoke, he saw Shao Qihai walking step by step, his body filled with killing intent and hatred.

Zhao Lan already felt guilty. When he saw Shao Qihai like this, he could not help but shiver and retreat. He was afraid that Shao Qihai would kill him, so he got up and went into hiding.

His feet were numb from kneeling and he was very frightened, so he accidentally fell down the stairs. A moment later, he screamed. Little Bei, who was standing behind him, shone his flashlight down and was shocked. "Blood."

The two neighbors ran over. They were shocked when they saw him. "He hit his head ..."

However, it was unknown whether it was because Zhao Lan had committed so much evil that even the heavens were unable to stand and watch, or whether it was because Bai Lu had been waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on her, either, but even though it wasn't a high step, Zhao Lan's head hit the stone and blood instantly flowed.

Moreover, when he fell, he fell at a difficult angle to his waist. Zhao Lan felt her waist had been cut off and screamed in pain.

Shao Qihai looked at him and mocked him. "That's great. I don't even have to do anything.”

Shao Qihai seemed to be unaware of Zhao Lan's injury. He picked it up and dragged it inside. Zhao Lan shouted even louder as she was moved, and blood dripped onto the ground.

It was only when Eldest Brother Shao and Eldest Brother-in-law Shao saw that Zhao Lan's head and face were covered in blood as she passed by them did they realize that something was amiss. "This ... How is this ..."

Eldest Brother Shao's legs went limp, and he couldn't get up. Oldest brother-in-law Shao wasn't much better. None of them could stop Shao Qihai, and they could only watch helplessly as he dragged Zhao Lan into his room and threw her to the ground.

Zhao Lan found the unbearable pain. "Qihai, help me call the doctor and take me to the hospital ..."

His hands were covered in blood, and blood was still flowing. Zhao Lan was frightened as she grabbed Shao Qihai's pant leg. “Qihai, I will die. Quickly call..”

“Isn't it better if you die? Living to live ... You have to pay for Bai Lu's life.”

Shao Qihai broke free from Zhao Lan's hands and reached out to close the door. Zhao Lan was surprised and quickly grabbed Shao Qihai. “No, no, Qihai, you can't do this to me. I'm your mother.

“Bai Lu is the mother of my children. Why didn't you put yourself in that position then? ”

Shao Qihai reached out to close the door. Zhao Lan's strong survival instinct made her struggle and crawl towards the door as she shouted.

“No, no, someone came and saved me. I'll die, I'll die.”.

Eldest Brother Shao and Eldest Brother-in-law Shao finally ran over. Eldest Brother Shao looked at Shao Qihai's red eyes and shivered. He can't say anything. On the other hand, Eldest Brother-in-law Shao said, looking scared, “Shao Qihai, she is still your mother. He was bleeding so much. If this continues, he will die.”

“Then let him die. He could feel the despair Bai Lu felt before he died.”

Shao Qihai dragged Zhao Lan, who was running out, into the room and locked her up. "Nobody was allowed to save him today."

Back then, when he returned from his mission, Bai Lu was already dead. The twins were born a few days earlier. He had returned early, but he still had not arrived in time.

After Bai Lu's death, the Bai Family made a huge fuss. Zhao Lan had been beaten by the Bai Family until she was in a sorry state. She had cried in her heart, saying that she had let her down.

At that moment, the Bai Family threw a tantrum and Zhao Lan continued to cry. Shao Dong and Shao Xi had a fever, and they did not know if it was due to fear. Also, the newborn twins, who knew nothing, continued to cry.

Now that he was rethinking all of this, he had no idea how he could get through it all.

Although the Bai Family had made a huge fuss, they had never cared about the lives of the four children. At that moment, Zhao Lan who was crying and taking care of the four children, begged the other breastfeeding women to give them some milk bribes, as well as cooked millet porridge. Only then did Shao Nan and Little Bei manage to survive.
