hehe……

Why doesn't he think about what he used to worry about? Did he and Song Shi lose sleep every night? If he thinks about it, he'll know what he was worried about.

These things can't be said aloud; they have to be kept inside.

Li knew perfectly well what was wrong with her husband. He was just having trouble sleeping ever since his third son built a house at the end of the village, and it had gotten worse over time.

I often slept less than two hours a day, and later, with selling and growing vegetables, those years were truly agonizing.

But it got better later, didn't it?!

In the past two years, the person in charge has been sleeping better than her, often falling asleep as soon as their head hits the pillow. Why has her condition worsened?

"That's not right."

Zhao Dashu looked at Li Shi, wondering if something was wrong.

“Your second brother has been sleeping very well these past two years. He falls asleep before I do, and he often can’t get up in the morning. How can he have time to think when he sleeps for so long? Did the doctor make a mistake? How can the head of the household have any worries?”

On the contrary, she often tossed and turned in bed, and with the various aches and pains that come with old age, she slept very poorly.

She was incredibly envious of the old man's ability to sleep well.

Zhao Dashu was dumbfounded. Doctors aren't just sitting around doing nothing; they couldn't possibly be wrong. There was absolutely no problem when they treated his mother back then.

"Second brother, you slept very well? Did you have no worries at all?"

Zhao Dayong shook his head, "No, I often wake up while sleeping. I can only sleep for a little over an hour a night, and then I can't fall back asleep. In the morning, I feel sleepy but have to get up to work."

Li was shocked, "You...you haven't been sleeping at all during the day?"

Zhao Dayong sighed, "I can't sleep, and I don't have the heart to wake you. I often stay awake until dawn, my mind is a mess. I think about this and that and then it's almost dawn."

Zhao Dashu was convinced. He was quite imaginative, saying that no one would believe he wasn't sick.

Throughout the year, how many things in his family does he have to think about?

"Second brother, aren't you tired?" It was purely out of curiosity.

"I'm so tired. My head is constantly buzzing and I have heavy eyelids. I feel sleepy and exhausted."

"Aren't you going to sleep?"

"I can't sleep because of all the things that are bothering me when I close my eyes."

You're awesome!

Nobody would believe you if you said you weren't sick.

Li's face was covered in tears. She hadn't known her husband hadn't been able to sleep all night; she thought he was getting plenty of rest. No wonder he always looked like he hadn't slept properly, even though he was resting so well and sleeping for so long.

Why am I getting thinner and thinner, and why am I becoming less and less energetic?

Why didn't you call me?

So she falls asleep in front of him and he wakes up behind her? Why is this person so worrisome?

“You’re tired enough during the day, and you can only rest for a while at night. How could I bear to see you like that?”

Wow, you two have such a good relationship.

"May I ask, Second Brother, what exactly are you thinking?"

“You don’t understand. Everything in your family goes smoothly. You can’t understand the bitterness in my heart.”

"Yeah, I really don't understand. I'm a very selfish person. Nothing in the world is more important than my own life. I'm sure I'll be the one who lives the longest among us brothers."

Zhao Dayong really wanted to beat him to death.

"Third brother, you're showing off to me."

"If you think showing off is showing off, then so be it."

His brain is his own body; who can control what he thinks?

"I've delivered the message. I'll head back now. You two can continue your conversation."

Li stopped the man, "Third brother, please, sister-in-law, save your second brother! He's not that old, he shouldn't die so soon."

"How can I save someone if I'm not a doctor?"

They say you have to heal your own heart. My second brother just had to think positively, eat and drink as he pleased, eat well, drink well, and sleep well. How could his health not be good?

He doesn't even need to ask the doctor; he knows how to take care of the child.

I beg you!

"Second sister-in-law, don't be stingy. Spend all the money on him. Let him eat and drink well and don't worry about those rebellious sons. I'm not kidding you. If you learn from your mother, your second brother can live at least another ten years."
