"The doctor said that with active cooperation in rehabilitation, your condition can improve, but you are unwilling and just want to give up on yourself."
“I know you want my mother to leave. It’s not that you dislike her, it’s that you’re afraid your health will be a burden to her.”
"But have you ever thought about it from her perspective? She has been married three times in her life. The first time, my father died early, and she raised me alone, enduring countless hardships. The second time, she married a scoundrel and suffered inhumane treatment."
"Now she feels that marrying you means her happy days are finally coming, but you're letting her go. Have you thought about her?"
"Is my mother guilty? She only wants to stay with you and live a good life, but you keep trying to drive her away. Is she wrong in herself?"
Before marrying Old Wu, Lü Yazhi frankly told him about her two previous marriages.
Old Wu was a kind-hearted man. He didn't look down on Lü Yazhi at all; on the contrary, he felt sorry for her.
Hearing Wen Qiao say this, Old Wu, still recovering, shook his head unclearly and said:
"No, she did nothing wrong, your mother did nothing wrong."
"It was me, I'm the one who wronged her."
As Old Wu spoke, he clenched his fist and pounded his chest hard.
Lu Yazhi rushed forward, grasped Old Wu's hand, and said through tears:
"Old Wu, Old Wu, please don't do this. You haven't wronged me, you've been very good to me, and I'm willing to take care of you."
“I also believe what the doctor said. As long as you cooperate well, I will definitely take care of you until you can stand up again.”
“Now that you’ve retired, once you’re better, come with me to a restaurant. You’re so smart, you can sit at the counter and help me with the bill.”
Old Wu held Lü Yazhi's hand and wept bitterly.
Wen Qiao took a tissue and wiped away his tears.
"Uncle Wu, you have to get better. If you don't get better, how will you protect my mom if others bully her?"
“Your dear sister always causes trouble at the restaurant, saying that my mother took your money to open the restaurant. She says that the restaurant is the Wu family's property, and since it belongs to the Wu family, she should have a share.”
Upon hearing this, Wu Yongliang trembled with anger.
"You bastard, you're talking nonsense. That restaurant was started by your mother. It has nothing to do with her or the Wu family."
Wen Qiao seized the opportunity to say, "So you need to get better quickly. If you're healthy, they won't dare to be too presumptuous. Uncle Wu, do you believe it or not, if you fall down, all those demons and monsters will come to bully my mother."
“My mother said she doesn’t want the Wu family’s things; they’re all for Xiaowei. But do you believe that? I believe that too. Even if Brother Jiandong believes it, does Sister-in-law Sumei believe it?”
"If you stay safe and sound, they'll be more polite to my mother because you're alright."
Wu Yongliang nodded.
He reached out and took Wen Qiao's hand, his eyes filled with emotion.
"Daughter, thank you so much. What you said makes perfect sense. It was me who gave up on myself..."
He wasn't like this in the army. How come he gave up on himself after getting sick?
Wen Qiao gave Old Wu a good talking-to today, but she was afraid that the effect would be short-lived. She feared that once she left, Old Wu would give up on himself again in less than three days.
Wen Qiao then had Shen Jichuan come and talk to Old Wu for a long time.
The couple really cared about this old man.
But the effect was still quite good.
Old Wu was willing to undergo rehabilitation, and even went out for walks with Lü Yazhi. It was clear to the naked eye that the old man's spirits had improved.
