Chapter 195: Homesickness to the point of collapse

As they walked home, Zhang Shiye asked, "Wife, doesn't Will's father have a heart disease? Can the stream water cure it?"

Xia Wanyang skipped ahead and looked back at him with a smile, "It doesn't matter whether it can be cured or not. It won't make me worse, and it's better than those Western medicines!"

Zhang Shiye nodded in agreement.

For the next three days, after class during the day, the two would go home with Will. On the first day, one-third of the stream water was mixed with normal water, on the second day it was two-thirds, and on the third day he was given all stream water to drink.

In fact, Will's father woke up on the first day. The two brothers were extremely impressed by Xia Wanyang. After being treated by the family doctor on the third day, Will's father was not completely cured, but at least he would have no problem living for another ten years.

One of the doctors was particularly happy and said to the others excitedly, "Sir, you can now have the surgery. I am confident that I can cure you!"

Brother Will was so moved that his eyes filled with tears. He held Zhang Shiye's hand tightly and said, "If you need anything in the future, just tell me directly. You two are our lucky stars!"

Zhang Shiye pulled his hand free and smiled modestly, "My wife didn't help me for anything in return. We are friends with Will, and we have no choice but to do our part as friends!"

From that day on, Zhang Shiye became closer to the Will brothers and gradually got to know their family business, which would be of great help to his future development when he returned to China.

Xia Wanyang felt a little guilty about her contact with Will. She believed that she and her husband had been contacting him and his family with a purpose from the very beginning, and she felt guilty about Will's feelings.

Zhang Shiye explained to her gently, "Wife, for businessmen, all relationships are mutual. We want to get close to them, but didn't Will's brother know us through Will? I did business for more than 20 years in my previous life, and I know the twists and turns too well.

Every time his brother chats with me, he asks me about the development of our country. He is very interested in our newly started business. He pays the money and I work hard. The dividends will be calculated according to the ratio. He only needs to take a little risk and get a large return. For him, this is a time-saving and labor-saving thing. After all, for the Will family, the most important thing is money!"

Xia Wanyang nodded, "This is the shareholding system, so I don't feel guilty about it!"

When Lisa went to school again, she was so surprised to see three people walking and talking and laughing that she couldn't say a word. She felt as if she had suffered a great injustice and never paid any attention to Will again.

Will had no interest in her in the first place, and didn't care at all about her deliberate ignoring of him.

It's the Spring Festival again this year. This year, the couple had planned to go home for the New Year, but Aunt Qiao told them on the phone not to bother. The children have already gotten used to their absence, and they would have to go back after more than a month. The children would have to suffer the pain of separation again, and the return flight would cost a lot of money. Aunt Qiao felt really distressed.

Zhang Shiye thought about it and agreed, but Xia Wanyang had been thinking about going back to see her children since she finished the exam, and now she said she would not go back. She was very disappointed.

After hanging up the phone, Xia Wanyang lowered her head and walked towards her residence. Zhang Shiye paid the bill and hurriedly caught up with her, "Why are you walking so fast? Are you unhappy?"

Xia Wanyang lowered her head and snorted to express her dissatisfaction.

Zhang Shiye rubbed her head with amusement, "It doesn't matter whether it's money or not. Mom is right. After we go back, we can only stay at home with the child for a month. After a month, we have to come back again. By then, the child will inevitably feel uncomfortable again. A year will pass quickly. Let's hold on a little longer!"

Xia Wanyang's eyes were slightly red. "Xiao Xingxing and Xiao Yueyue are already six years old. They must have grown a lot taller. Don't you want to go back and see them at all?"

Zhang Shiye sighed, "They are my sons and daughters, how could I not miss them? But I am also really afraid that they will not be able to accept us when we leave again. My mother secretly told me that in the first two months after we left, the two children cried for a long time every night.

Honey, listen to me this time, we will graduate at this time next year, and then we won’t have to live like this anymore!"

Xia Wanyang nodded. Although she understood, she was still unhappy.

Xia Wanyang did not have a good time during the Spring Festival of 1983. No matter how Zhang Shiye coaxed or teased her, her smiles seemed forced, which made him feel very guilty. If he had known that she wanted to go back so much, he would have returned home after the exams.

Until the beginning of the school term, Xia Wanyang was in a bad mood, and Zhang Shiye was so anxious that his mouth was full of bubbles, and even drinking stream water didn't help.

Xia Wanyang looked at Zhang Shiye who was struggling to eat, and finally came to her senses and began to feel distressed, "I'm sorry, husband, I just miss the child too much, and I made you worry for more than a month!"

Zhang Shiye looked up to the sky and shouted, "Wife, you are finally back to normal. If you continue to be depressed, your husband will be half dead!"

Xia Wanyang's eyes were slightly red, "I'm really sorry!"

Zhang Shiye lifted her little butt and hugged her tightly in his arms, "What nonsense are you talking about? Of course I understand your feelings. Children are the continuation of our lives. It is normal for you to miss them. We have come here from afar, not just to learn more knowledge, to develop better when we go back, to make more money and let them live a good life!"

Xia Wanyang burst into tears, venting out the grievances and longings of two months at once, "Wow, wow, wow, I really miss my parents, my father and mother, my children, and my brothers and sisters-in-law. I miss them all so much. I don't know how they are doing this year. I don't even dare to call them to hear their voices. I feel so uncomfortable when I hear their voices. Honey, I want to go home!"

Xia Wanyang cried heartbreakingly, and her sad cry made Zhang Shiye's heart feel as if it was pierced by countless sharp needles, and the pain was so severe that he could hardly breathe.

He hugged Xia Wanyang tightly in his arms, feeling her trembling and the warmth of her tears. His eyes gradually became moist, and tears flowed down involuntarily. He comforted her softly, "Don't cry, honey. We will go back next year and never come again, okay? From now on, we will take the child with us wherever we go and never be separated from the child again!"

Xia Wanyang was tired of crying, so she leaned on Zhang Shiye's shoulder and slowly fell asleep. Zhang Shiye was reluctant to let her go, so he held her in his arms, patted her back and walked back and forth.

In the past two months, Xia Wanyang's appetite has become less and less. Sometimes she can only eat half a bowl of rice in a whole day. She is so thin that her jaw is pointed. At this moment, she lies quietly in Zhang Shiye's arms. Zhang Shiye feels that she is so thin that she seems like she can be blown down by a gust of wind, just like a poor little kitten.
