When the Li siblings returned home, they really gave the Li couple a fright.
The couple had just returned from outside and were about to go to the kitchen to cook when they saw their son and daughter come home.
Aunt Li was so startled when she saw her son being helped back by her daughter, skipping along as he came back that she rushed over to help him.
Her face was full of worry. "Oh dear, why didn't you call me and your dad to pick you up? Did you get your bones realigned? How are you feeling? Does it hurt?"
She had heard Bai Yajing mention before that she would need to have her bones realigned, so she accepted it well.
She was still a little surprised that it happened so quickly. If she had known that she would have to have her bones realigned again today, she would definitely have canceled everything to stay by her son's side! Nothing is more important than her son!
Director Li noticed that although his son's face was a little pale, he was in great spirits. His expression had completely changed from his previous dejected state, and his eyes were full of joy and determination, with the corners of his mouth turned up in a smile.
His eyes began to sting as he watched his son finally come back to life.
From the time his son had his accident to the time of his divorce, through all the arguments and quarrels, he has been so worried that he can't sleep at night and his hair has turned mostly white. Now he finally sees hope!
He turned his head away so they wouldn't notice anything amiss. "Son, it's inconvenient for you to move around like this. I'll go and make you a cane right now!"
"Use that for walking. Dad's cooking skills haven't been lost. You wait, I'm coming right now!"
After saying that, he rushed out the door, not wanting his family to see his bloodshot eyes.
But his hoarse, choked voice had already betrayed him.
Aunt Li had lived with him for most of her life, so how could she not know what kind of man she was?
She looked at his retreating figure with a teasing smile and complained to the brother and sister, "Your old man is probably going to find a secluded place to cry his eyes out right now!"
He's just so obsessed with saving face that he suffers for it. He was so worried lately that he couldn't sleep at night..."
At this point, realizing he'd let something slip, he quickly changed the subject, "Hehehe... Look at me, why bring that up! It's all in the past! From now on, it'll all be good days!"
The brother and sister were both helpless, but their father's authority could not be compromised. They looked at each other, shook their heads and laughed.
Li felt even more guilty. His parents used to be very well-maintained, with thick, black hair, but since his accident, they had aged ten years in an instant, and most of their hair had turned white...
"Mom, I'm sorry..."
Aunt Li glared at him. "What nonsense are you talking about? Sit down, aren't you tired of standing on one leg?"
After sitting down, Li hesitated for a moment. He then took out the prescription. "Mom, this is the prescription Comrade Bai gave me. I...I..."
Thinking about how he was currently short of money and had to rely on his elderly parents for support, he felt guilty and helpless.
All his money was swindled and taken by the man surnamed Wang. All his savings over the years, except for the money he gave to his parents and his younger sister for pocket money, were gone. The money he had saved to raise his son was all gone!
Aunt Li felt a pang of sadness. Her son had always been the "other people's outstanding child" in other people's eyes. When had he ever felt inferior?
That damned crazy woman, she's caused so much harm! She hugged her son tightly, her heart aching.
"My son! My poor son! It's alright, you must cheer up and believe in yourself!"
You've always been your parents' pride and joy; this is just a low point in your life! No one's life is smooth sailing!
