Chapter 337: Rich and Imbecilic

When the surrounding people heard their bold discussion, they turned around. Some warm-hearted old people went up to persuade them but ended up being confused by them.
Those people were surrounded by the crowd and said righteously, “You don’t know, these people donated for the sake of the higher-ups. We commoners at the bottom can only try our best to fight for our rights. If we don’t say anything, those rich people will only be more and more perfunctory in the future!”
“Yes, let me show you the meat I just received. There are actually worms in it. It’s disgusting!”
Someone carried a bag of smelly meat for everyone to see, immediately causing the crowd to be dissatisfied.
The people who were still in the mood to speak up for the Shi family just now suddenly felt that they had been deceived. Their displacement and pain were mixed together, and they were completely ignited by anger. They began to vent all their hatred on Shen Xian.
The originally orderly queue suddenly became chaotic. Shen Xian was shocked and hurriedly called out to comfort the crowd.
However, their curses were too loud. Even though Shen Xian had tried her best, she was still drowned in the surging crowd.
Everyone seemed to have found an opening to vent their anger. Anything that had nothing to do with Shen Xian was maliciously blamed on her. Even the culpability of the explosion, which was instigated by someone else, was pushed onto the Shi family.
The situation became more and more uncontrollable. Shen Xian hid in Shi Zhong’s arms and buried her head into his shoulder aggrievedly, but her ears could still clearly hear the groundless curses.
Gradually, all the people who came to collect supplies in this city surrounded them. The overwhelming accusations almost drowned the two of them.
They had never thought about how much money the Shi family had spent on this rescue and how much effort Shen Xian had spent to get so many things. Even when more than half of the city was affected, she could still get rare beef for everyone.
All they could think of was that Shen Xian was mean to them because she was rich.
Someone in the crowd was the first to attack and actually pulled Shen Xian out of Shi Zhong’s arms.
Shen Xian was caught off guard and fell to the ground. She was still squeezing forward with all her might. People who wanted to snatch the supplies swarmed up and quickly buried her.
Shi Zhong was so anxious that he almost went crazy. When he finally pushed through the crowd and found Shen Xian, he realized that she was hugging her arms in pain and curling up on the ground, wailing non-stop. Her originally exquisite facial features were twisted in pain.
He was instantly furious. He pushed down all the supplies and threatened to burn everything if they dared to snatch them again.
Only then did the noisy and chaotic crowd quiet down again.
Shi Zhong hurriedly carried her and drove straight to the hospital. After a detailed examination, it was determined that Shen Xian’s arm was broken.
Shi Zhong was both regretful and sad. He suddenly became dejected and threw the mess in the city to his subordinates. He kept accompanying Shen Xian to eat in the hospital and refused to go back.
After Shi Man heard this, she felt frustrated. She looked at Shi Zhong with increasing impatience. “Where are the few people who led the trouble? Have you caught them?”
Shi Zhong shook his head silently and looked down at the porridge bowl in front of him. He sighed and said, “Your brothers are already dealing with this matter. They’re still at the scene and haven’t returned. I’m worried that something will happen to them.”
Shi Man sneered and the corners of her lips curled up mockingly. “Don’t worry. Not to mention the four of them, just Big Brother alone won’t let such a stampede happen to him easily.”
“What do you mean?” Shi Zhong suddenly looked up and met her eyes with heartache. “Do you think 1 want your mother to be so seriously injured? Don’t I want to protect her? There were too many people at that time. Your mother and I were separated. I…”
“Alright.” Shi Man couldn’t be bothered to listen to his nonsense. She looked away impatiently and looked at Shen Xian with gentle eyes. “Mom, rest well in the hospital. 1’11 help my brothers deal with this matter. Don’t worry, I won’t let those people off.”
“Manman.” Shen Xian still wanted to persuade Shi Man not to argue with those people, but before she could finish, Shi Man had already turned around and left the ward.
Shi Zhong frowned and hesitated for a moment. Then, he put down the bowl and chased after her. He stood in front of her. “Manman, I know you’re unhappy with me, but as a girl, don’t join in the fun. The event location is really too dangerous. You haven’t seen that scene at all.”
“I know.” Shi Man looked at the so-called father in front of her expressionlessly. There were no emotions in her heart. “Even if it’s dangerous,
1 have to find out who hurt Mom. Let me do what you can’t do.”
Shi Zhong was slightly stunned. He stared at Shi Man’s calm gaze and suddenly realized that Shi Man had really grown up under his deliberate neglect.
Such a determined gaze was the same as his high-spirited self in the past..
