After Lin Lu came back, she spent all her time in the hospital because her family was not well off and they were worried that they could not provide her with good care. However, the hospital's medical and nursing fees were high and the money could not last long. All the family savings were used up, and only a little was left for her to live on.

Song Chen wanted to borrow some money from his brothers. On the one hand, it was expensive to take care of the forest deer, and on the other hand, he needed some capital to open a small factory.

The second and third brothers' families were of average financial condition, but they did the best they could. Song Chen thought that the eldest brother's family should be wealthy, and they had never asked them for help in all these years. He put aside his face and self-esteem and went to ask, but he was surprised that not only could they not lend him money, they didn't even give him food to eat.

He even said that Lin Lu was already in this state, so what was the point in saving a living dead person? It would be better to let her go directly. Maybe she didn't want to live like this anymore. This could be considered a good deed.

Song Chen was so angry that he just wanted to kick every member of Song Lei's family, and their brotherly relationship was severed from then on.

With his last bit of money, he started to prepare to set up a brick factory. He did every step himself, from firing the kiln to burning bricks.

I work until midnight every day, and after washing up, I go to the hospital to see Lin Lu.

It was the middle of the night, and except for the moonlight outside, everything around was pitch black. He sat on the recliner next to her, just looking at her quietly, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say, and slowly fell asleep on the narrow recliner.

I only slept for three or four hours and I have to get up early to work over there.

After the brick factory took shape, he hired two people, but because the work was too hard, the weather was hot, and they had to work long hours in such a high temperature environment every day, the two people didn't stick with it, and in the end he had to do it alone.

After selling the first batch of goods, he got 600 yuan. He didn't even bother to buy a new piece of clothing for himself, and used it all to pay for Lin Lu's hospitalization for a year.

Gradually, because the wages were higher, more people were able to endure such harsh conditions, and the brick factory gradually expanded in scale.

After earning his second fortune, he bought a piece of land in the town and started building a big house.

After hearing that some places made money by planting orchards, Song Chen, in order to make more money and provide Lin Lu with better conditions, leased two hills, bought saplings, and started to plant orchards.

I work at the brickyard during the day and guard the orchard at night. Even though there is a fence outside, I still have to patrol to prevent anyone from stealing the saplings. I can't take anything lightly.

He had very little time to rest, but he would visit Lin Lu every day to find out how she was doing.

He was busy for two years. After the brick factory and orchard were on track, he was able to relax a little in the third year, at least he could sleep longer at night.

The house was built in a year. After it was renovated, various furniture and appliances were bought, and then Lin Lu was brought back from the solitary ward in the hospital.

Lin Lu's condition is very stable, but she still needs someone to look after her. If she urinates at night, her pants need to be changed, otherwise she will feel uncomfortable.

In the first two months of setting up the factory, the psychological pressure was so great that Song Chen was always in a bad mood. Sometimes he couldn't sleep and didn't know what to talk to her about, so he would spend the whole night in a trance.

When I was at my most impatient, I wanted to squat down and beg her to open her eyes and talk to me.

He wanted to say - Lin Lulu, it hurts so much.

The beating seemed to have left him with sequelae. Sometimes his ears would bleed if he wasn't careful, he had tinnitus, and he became confused.

Li Xianglian and her husband felt distressed, and Lin Jingbei was worried. When no one was around, he secretly came to Lin Lu's ward and begged his mother to wake up quickly. He was worried that one day the thread that his father was holding on to would break, and he would be homeless.

How could Song Chen let himself fall? He didn't even leave himself time to rest.

Lin Lu needs a steady supply of money for medical treatment, and he also has a half-grown child and two elderly people to support. The burden of the family falls on him. If he can't hold on, he is afraid that one day Lin Lu will wake up and blame him, and he is afraid that Brother Lin Cheng will be angry in the underworld.

If Lin Cheng regretted saving him, if Lin Lulu regretted marrying him...

In the past few years, Song Chen has never really relaxed even for a moment.

He did not forget what the doctor said: if he did not wake up within half a year, the possibility of waking up in the future would be small, as many patients died in their sleep.

He would be woken up every night, and when he woke up in the morning he would have to check on her condition before he could go out to work with peace of mind.

Even though the brick factory made more and more money and the orchard business was getting better and better, and he seemed to have become the richest man in town, his heart was still lonely.

In the fourth year, he no longer had any hope that Lin Lu would wake up, and he had already planned to stay with her for the rest of his life.

Except for him, everyone seemed to have forgotten the pain. As conditions got better and better, some people even wanted to introduce new people to him.

Even Lin Lu's biological mother, Li Xianglian, said that she couldn't bear to see him live his whole life like this. If he wanted to marry someone he liked, they would not blame her.

But how could he possibly want to marry again? Everything he did, all his efforts over the years were to give her a better life.

But one day, he suddenly became afraid, worried that he would be persuaded one day, because his life in recent years was so difficult, so he went to the hospital.

--ligation

Persevere fearlessly as if nothing happened, and walk alone.

One summer afternoon in 1992, she suddenly woke up.

What kind of day was that?

It was ordinary, hot and scorching, no different from every yesterday.

He went home after work as usual, but heard Li Xianglian's laughter at the door.

There hadn't been such laughter in this house for a long time.

Sure enough, all the anomalies have reasons.

She said Lin Lu woke up and thought it was because the weather was too hot and made him dizzy, so he had hallucinations.

When he really saw her open her eyes, wake up, and start talking, Song Chen pinched his thigh. He knew that his dream had come true, and the withered flower in his heart took root, sprouted, and bloomed again.
