He Siyi suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing.
Although he had already considered Shiyue as their daughter-in-law in his heart, she and his son hadn't registered their marriage yet!
He Siyi himself couldn't understand why he blurted out such a sentence.
This made him somewhat embarrassed.
Fortunately, Shiyue didn't seem to mind and laughed.
He said, "Auntie is awake? Is there anything else that's bothering you? While you're still in the hospital, let the doctor take a good look at you."
As she spoke, she went into the ward with He Siyi.
Fu Yunfang was indeed awake at this moment. She leaned against the quilt, which was pulled high over her, revealing only her face.
His face was sallow and he looked extremely haggard.
Even so, it couldn't hide her still-present charm.
Fu Yunfang was very dignified and beautiful. She had the face of a lady from a prominent family. Just by looking at her, you could feel how gentle and quiet she used to be.
But at this moment, her eyes were vacant and her face was expressionless.
Even when the door opened, even when Shiyue came in and greeted her with a smile as "Auntie," she didn't react at all.
Seeing Shi Yue's surprise, He Siyi explained somewhat awkwardly, "Yun Fang, oh, Li Xuan's mother suffered a lot of shock before, and her health is not good... Ever since she came to the cadre school, she has become muddled and confused, and it has become even more serious after she got sick."
Is he... stunned by the shock?
Shiyue thought to herself in shock.
However, she didn't dare to express her thoughts.
He could only nod calmly and say, "It's alright. We'll get your aunt treated properly when we get back to the provincial capital. She'll definitely be cured."
How could He Siyi not hear the encouraging meaning in those words?
He knew very well that his wife's illness was difficult to cure, but he still nodded in agreement.
Fu Yunfang was not very sensitive to the outside world, but she could still feel the pain in her body.
Moreover, she knew He Siyi.
Even though her eyes were lifeless and she was indifferent to the sounds of the outside world, she would still look up if He Siyi stood up and moved around or left.
She wouldn't look away until He Siyi came back into her sight.
This made Shiyue somewhat relieved, at least she wasn't completely unmoved.
While she was talking to He Siyi, she had already frantically inputted her thoughts to tell her older sister about Fu Yunfang's current situation.
The older sister asked the doctor on duty and got back to her, saying that some patients with severe shingles may become depressed later due to neuralgia, which is a normal phenomenon.
It's difficult to treat, but it's not entirely impossible.
Tell her to keep her confidence.
Looking at Fu Yunfang, Shiyue had little confidence that she could cure her illness.
She felt that the root of this person's illness was not in his body, but in his mind.
The sudden change in environment and her incomprehension of the unfair treatment she received were probably the key factors that led her to isolate herself.
Shingles is only one of the triggers.
However, these are things that need to be addressed later.
Her waking up is a good thing for Shiyue and He Lixuan.
Shiyue no longer had to worry about finding someone to carry her onto the train.
He Lixuan did not return that night.
He rushed back the next day, just as it was getting dark.
But he did bring back good news.
He Lixuan obtained a certificate from the cadre school allowing his parents to go out for medical treatment, and also brought back the luggage that his parents had taken there before.
As requested by Shiyue, the two elderly people did not take their clothes or bedding, but only other necessities.
He Lixuan even carried these things to the train station and bought a train ticket to Suifeng for the next day.
However, this time, without Shen Yuanbai's favor, he could only buy a hard seat ticket.
But few people go to Suifeng from here, so he bought three tickets together, and another one was next to these three.
The three of them were overjoyed to receive their tickets.
Although He Siyi didn't say anything, you could tell that he looked relaxed, as if a burden had been lifted off his shoulders.
He Lixuan also reported to his father on the distribution of the supplies he had brought.
Following the directions given to him by his father, he first found the place where they occasionally hid things, and quietly buried the food and clothes he had brought in a snowdrift there.
Then, under the pretext of needing someone to help pack his luggage, he found the former Party Secretary of the school.
He Lixuan told the secretary where he was hiding, saying it was his father's idea to distribute the places to everyone depending on the situation.
She also told him about her parents' illness and gave him a dose of the shingles medication that Shiyue had specially prepared.
Finally, He Lixuan also handed over the clothes left by his parents to the old Party Secretary.
Of course, I repeatedly told him that these clothes and bedding must be scalded and washed before use.
He Lixuan also relayed the old Party Secretary's blessings to his parents.
The old Party Secretary told He Siyi that there was nothing to feel guilty about; at this time, it was a good thing that anyone could survive.
Protecting yourself is more important than anything else.
They were very grateful to He Siyi for giving them this way out.
Although life is a bit tough now, they are already very content as long as it reduces the trouble for their family.
The old Party Secretary also told He Siyi not to come back, saying that he would continue to do a good job here.
After hearing what the old Party Secretary had brought back, He Si silently wiped the corner of his eye.
There were indeed far fewer people on the bus back to Suifeng from this small town.
When we arrived, the bus was full of educated youth who had been sent down to the countryside. When we left, none of them were there, so we felt much more relaxed.
Even so, all the seats were occupied, and some people were still standing in the aisle.
He Lixuan was lucky enough to be able to buy four tickets that were exactly in a row.
These four tickets were placed on two opposite seats, three of which were on a long bench, and the other was on the outermost seat opposite.
Shiyue sat alone, while He Lixuan and his parents sat on the other side.
Although Fu Yunfang was physically weak, she was obedient, quiet, and could walk slowly forward with others.
After getting on the bus, she sat in a window seat and sat quietly without disturbing others.
This finally put the other three at ease.
Unfortunately, this good time didn't last long. Just over an hour after getting on the bus, the painkillers Fu Yunfang had taken that morning wore off, and her wound started to hurt.
I started to get restless.
But I wonder if it's because my upbringing has become so deeply ingrained?
Even though everyone could see she was in pain, she didn't yell or scream, and she didn't even squirm in her seat.
She simply gripped her husband's arm tightly, looked up at him, bit her lip, and tears streamed down her face.
That appearance—
Let alone He Siyi, even Shi Yue couldn't stand it.
I feel so heartbroken!
