Chapter 110 Should I not have hit you?

Li Erge picked up the money from the ground one by one, arranged it neatly, and put it together with Li Banxia's stacks of banknotes before opening the door and going back to his room to rest.

Li Banxia glanced at the closed door with a puzzled look, then closed her eyes, her head slumped, and she fell asleep.

When I woke up again, it was already noon.

She got up, quickly washed herself, and prepared to have a quick lunch, visit her third brother at the hospital, chat with her parents for a while, and also inform them about what she and her second brother had discussed.

To her surprise, just as she opened the door, the door to the room next door also opened, and Brother Li Er walked out looking very energetic.

The brother and sister exchanged a glance, and Li Banxia called out with a smile, "Second Brother."

Li Erge, "..."

He turned his head away and gave a soft hum.

That arrogant attitude.

Li Banxia closed the door and leaned closer, "Are you angry?"

"I can't be bothered with you." Li Erge glanced at her and quickened his pace.

When he went downstairs, he found that Li Banxia hadn't followed, so he complained and told her to hurry up while deliberately slowing down.

After lunch, the brother and sister rushed to the hospital.

Upon seeing the two, Li Sange's two children stood up one after the other, saying, "Second Uncle, Little Aunt."

"Xiaxia is back?"

Mr. Li called out, and Mrs. Li stood up, looking her up and down. "How is it? Did everything go smoothly? Nothing went wrong, right?"

"No, it went very smoothly."

The elderly couple exchanged a glance and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Li Erge stepped forward. "Dad, why don't you take Mom back to the hotel to get something to eat and rest for a while? My little sister and I will keep watch over her this afternoon, and we'll..."

He hesitated, feeling that there were some things he shouldn't say in front of the child.

Li Yuanhua noticed something amiss and, using an excuse, pulled her sister away.

"This child..."

Li Banxia sighed softly, "This matter concerning Third Brother has been a huge blow to both of them."

This child used to be just sensible and obedient, but now he has learned to read people's expressions.

This growth happened almost instantly.

The price paid was just too high.

Li Erge patted her.

Li Banxia snapped out of her thoughts and recounted what she had discussed with Li Erge at the hotel.

Li's father and mother naturally had no objections.

"We're here at the hospital, so it doesn't matter whether you're here or not. Just... please be careful outside."

Li Banxia nodded.

"That's what I was worried about too, so I asked my second brother to come with me. We'll go to different places, resell more, and try to make more of this profit, but..."

Li Banxia hesitated for a moment, then looked at her parents, "The price is already so high, it's hard to go any higher, and it might collapse soon. I can't say for sure, so..."

When Li Erge received her gaze, his expression shifted. "We need to hurry."

"right!"

Li Banxia praised, "Time is money."

At this moment, the words became concrete.

“Mom and Dad, my second brother and I call the hospital twice a day. If anything happens, you must let us know. Nothing is more important than my third brother.”

Li's mother looked at her daughter, sighed, and said she understood.

In the afternoon, Li's second brother bought tickets for the evening, ensuring they would arrive the next day. That evening, Li's father came to relieve the siblings. The two went back to the hotel, grabbed a tattered bag, and headed straight to the train station.

He would travel back and forth between several cities, exchange his vouchers for coupons, and then return to Shanghai to resell them. He would also take a break, spend half a day at the hospital to recharge, and then continue his business.

A week later, Li Sange was transferred from the intensive care unit to a regular ward.

Li's father, mother, and two children took turns talking to him throughout the morning and afternoon, trying to stimulate his brain and wake him up as soon as possible.

Half a month later, when Li Songlan was wiping his fingers and talking to him, she mentioned that Li San's wife had been sentenced to several years and couldn't help but cry. Suddenly, Li San's fingers moved.

Li Songlan was completely stunned, "Dad?"

She jumped up abruptly, the stool scraping against the floor, and stumbled into the hallway to call the doctor.

After Song Yuanzhi's classmate came to check, he confirmed, "There is indeed a reaction. Keep talking about what you said, keep provoking him."

"Songlan, what did you say to your dad? Tell us, and we'll tell him too..." Li's mother said happily.

Li Songlan's face turned pale instantly, and she opened her mouth a few times before stiffly saying, "It's just...it's just those trivial things at home, like the seedlings, the herbs, and those watermelons grown with bitter melon water. If he doesn't wake up soon, he'll be all wilted..."

That's clearly not the case.

Li's mother noticed her guilty conscience, her eyes darkened slightly, and she didn't press the matter further.

Another half month passed, and Li Sange finally opened his eyes. His gaze wandered and he saw his daughter.

With difficulty, she called out her daughter's name, "...Song...Lan".

"dad!"

Li Songlan burst into tears in an instant, sobbing as she leaned against the headboard.

This time, instead of calling a doctor, she notified her brother, Li Yuanhua, first.

Brother Li looked at his children weakly and smiled, "You...you're all back? I didn't...scare you, did I?"

"No."

Li Yuanhua's eyes reddened as she looked at Li Sange, who was truly alive, and her voice choked with sobs.

Mr. and Mrs. Li arrived a little later. When they saw their son with clear eyes, the old couple breathed a sigh of relief, their voices trembling.

My heart, which had been in my throat, finally settled down.

The doctor came over, conducted a thorough examination, and smiled as he told them, "His condition is very good. After he recovers for a couple more days, I will arrange a comprehensive examination to confirm that there are no other symptoms. Once that's confirmed, you can transfer him to a hospital in Beijing."

"Okay, thank you, doctor."

While they were talking to the doctor, Li Songlan tried to tell Li Sange about her biological mother, but Li Yuanhua stopped her with a look. After Li's parents finished talking to the doctor, he made an excuse and dragged Li Songlan out of the ward and into the pavilion downstairs in the hospital.

With a cold expression, she asked, "Li Songlan, what do you want to do?"

"I didn't mean to do anything. I just wanted to tell Dad about Mom's sentencing. Dad has woken up..."

"Smack!"

Before Li Songlan could finish speaking, Li Yuanhua slapped her across the face.

She looked at Li Yuanhua in disbelief, "Brother, you hit me?"

"Shouldn't I have hit you?"

Li Yuanhua's eyes sharpened. "Don't you know Dad's condition? He just woke up, and all his vital signs are unstable. Do you know what the consequences would be if something were to happen to him?!"

Li Songlan bit her lip, her eyes quickly filling with tears.

“I know, I didn’t mean to hurt Dad. I’ve told him several times, he must have heard me. He’s awake now…”

Li Songlan looked up at Li Yuanhua pleadingly, "Brother, Mom's mistake. Dad loves Mom so much, he wouldn't just stand by and watch her go to jail..."

"Yes, and then what?"

Li Yuanhua stared at her sister with a stern face. "You want Dad to apologize to the Zhou family? You only thought of Mom, what about Dad?! Mom only went to jail, but Dad almost lost his life! He's barely survived the critical period and is now using Mom to provoke him. Li Songlan, you can't be so selfish!"
