Chapter 487: Chapter 487: Setting Off Firecrackers Chapter 487: Chapter 487: Setting Off Firecrackers The ho affairs were settled, and Wang Yan imdiately returned to the county town, as the old man’s illness was the main concern. He did not know if the situation had improved.
Upon reaching the hospital, he specifically looked for the doctor. The doctor inford him of the condition—it was not exactly a stroke but more precisely a cerebral thrombosis. This type of illness could be eased sowhat with infusions and injections for a while, but yearly treatnts and dication were necessary to prevent future attacks. Essentially, as people age, they inevitably face many health issues.
Only then did Wang Yan return to the ward.
Erniu’s wife was surprisingly in the ward. As Wang Yan entered, he saw the couple quarrelling, and his mother was also looking upset—the whole family was unhappy, sans Sanxi.
Old Man Wang had awakened and trembled as he reached out his hand upon seeing Wang Yan. Wang Yan stepped forward and grabbed his father’s hand, “Dad, I’m back! Don’t worry, I’m here for you. Please take good care of yourself. The doctor said you need to remain calm and avoid getting angry, as it could worsen your condition.”
He was worried that his father might lose his temper and beco stubborn.
As a son, he had no choice but to yield at this mont.
This was his family.
“Shitou, you have… returned.”
The old man had not expected to see his eldest son as soon as he opened his eyes. Although he knew his wife was by his side, the eldest son, knowing his condition, would certainly co back. If Wang Yan had truly not returned, that would have saddened him. This son had always been a good, dutiful child.
“Dad, just focus on your recovery. I’ve spoken with the doctor! It’s nothing serious, but you still need to be careful. Don’t get angry so easily. Getting angry isn’t a good habit at your age. Do you want to eat sothing? I’ll go buy it for you.” Right now, they weren’t in a position to cook anything.
The old man shook his head; seeing his son by his side was enough for him—he desired nothing else to eat.
If he was considered the head of the family, in his heart, the true pillar of the ho was his eldest son.
The second son was irresponsible and slick, the third son too naïve—so naïve he was practically a blockhead. Only the eldest was righteous and principled, a man who cared about the bigger picture. It was unfortunate for his son.
Thinking of Wang Yan invariably reminded him of Bai Yue.
Old Man Wang couldn’t help but sigh. His son—
what a fate, to end up with a divorced woman.
His chest began to ache faintly again.
“I don’t… want to eat. Where’s… your wife?”
Here he was, lying in bed, and his daughter-in-law hadn’t even co to visit. How could he expect her to be dutiful in the future? That’s just wishful thinking.
“Dad, we still have the restaurant to run. She does want to co back, but at ho and at work, soone needs to look after the kids and the business. I’ve co back, so she can’t leave; otherwise, things would be a ss. Once you’re better, I’ll bring you and Mom to live in the city, and then you’ll see Bai Yue. She’s been thinking of you too. She asked to send her regards.”
He tried hard to bridge the gap between his father and his wife.
Old Man Wang rolled his eyes, “You think I don’t know? Does she rember anything good about ? She might just be setting off fireworks at ho, happy that this annoying old man is finally dying.”
“Dad, what are you saying? Bai Yue isn’t like that. If you don’t believe , ask Mom. You’re old now; you should think more of the good in people rather than assu everyone is bad. When she heard you were sick, she imdiately went to the bank and withdrew twenty thousand yuan for to take care of you. And if that’s not enough, she said to call her right away and she’ll send more.”
Wang Yan wouldn’t be saying this if he wasn’t worried about his father getting overly upset.
