Wen Li kept winking at Lin Tianlu.
This person has come to his door and came to see him specially. Now it is perfect for him to play the victim, complain, and make some demands. Such a good opportunity will be gone forever.
She blinked for a long time, but saw Lin Tianlu avoiding her eyes. She could no longer bear it and walked to the bedside and tugged at his sleeve:
"Shengzhi came to see you, why don't you say something!"
At this moment, Lin Tianlu wished there was a hole in the ground for him to crawl into, but Wen Li wanted to drag him out and embarrass him. He felt ashamed and angry, and gritted his teeth and said nothing.
It was Qi Shengzhi who spoke first, his voice was cold:
"Sister-in-law, the nurse just gave Tianlu a new injection, please don't touch him."
Wen Li was startled when she was called out, and quickly withdrew her hand, forcing an awkward smile on her face and saying:
"You said you were so busy and it was rare for you to come see him. It was so rude of him to stay silent. I just..."
Qi Shengzhi's expression grew colder, and he interrupted her pale explanation:
"There's no such thing as courtesy or impoliteness between us brothers. He's suffered so much, so it's normal for him to be in a bad mood and not want to talk. Sister-in-law, you should be more considerate of him."
Qi Shengzhi had spoken very politely for Lin Tianlu's sake. If it were his own temper, he would have kicked out a woman like Wen Li long ago.
In fact, Wen Li was right to worry. Qi Shengzhi was not standing at the door of the ward when she opened the door. He had been standing at the door for quite a while.
He had rushed to the hospital in a hurry, and after finding out which ward Lin Tianlu was staying in, he rushed to the door without wasting a moment. When he was about to push the door open, he heard Wen Li's sharp and piercing cries.
His feet paused, and his hand on the door handle stopped moving. All he could hear was Wen Li's accusations and complaints to Lin Tianlu one after another, and his face gradually became ugly.
It was not because Wen Li wanted to ask him for compensation, but because when Lin Tianlu needed care the most physically and mentally, as a wife, she did not show any care or sympathy for her injured husband. Instead, she used harsh words to force Lin Tianlu to find a way to get money for her.
And from Wen Li's complaints, he learned that Lin Tianlu's legs might have been seriously injured, which made him feel even heavier.
At this moment, Wen Li's face turned red and white because of Qi Shengzhi's words, and she felt embarrassed and angry.
Turning around, she saw Lin Tianlu lying there like a dead man, motionless and not saying a word to help her. She was so angry that she just threw the can and said:
"What's the point of me being sympathetic? Sympathy can't be eaten! Things are already like this, and him keeping silent won't solve the problem."
Qi Shengzhi turned his head and looked straight at Wen Li with his peach blossom eyes:
"Sister-in-law, he is still lying in bed. What problem do you want him to solve, and how can you solve it?"
Wen Li felt extremely uncomfortable being stared at by Qi Shengzhi, but in order to get compensation, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and meet his gaze and answer:
"Tianlu has both legs broken and had back surgery. The doctor said he'll probably never be able to stand up again. How are we supposed to live after this?"
"He always says you brothers have a good relationship, but now that he's in such a big trouble and needs your help, he's just too concerned with saving face to say anything. Can you eat face?"
"Besides, the reason he was injured was because of you..."
“That’s enough!”
Lin Tianlu, who was lying on the hospital bed, suddenly let out a roar, and slammed his fist with bulging veins slamming down on the side of the bed with a loud bang.
Wen Li, who had been chattering just now, was frightened and stared at Lin Tianlu who suddenly exploded with wide eyes, not daring to say anything for a while.
Lin Tianlu raised his head and stared at Wen Li with bloodshot eyes filled with disappointment and anger.
"If you dare to say another word, get out of here right now! Never show up in front of me again in this life!"
Wen Li's face turned red instantly. She never expected that Lin Tianlu would scold her in front of Qi Shengzhi, and scold her so harshly!
She opened her mouth and subconsciously wanted to curse back, but seeing Lin Tianlu's unprecedented resolute eyes, she didn't dare to say it. She stomped her feet, covered her face, and ran out of the door.
As the door of the ward was closed again, Lin Tianlu leaned back dejectedly and closed his eyes with a look of despair.
He did such a thing behind Qi Shengzhi's back, and he was too ashamed to face Qi Shengzhi again, not to mention that his wife was still obsessed with asking Qi Shengzhi for compensation. Lin Tianlu felt that his behavior could only be described as a failure.
He is immoral, greedy for money and lustful, and has a poor judgment of people... How can a person like him be qualified to ask for forgiveness from others?
He has brought this upon himself. What's the point of living for a loser who can't even take care of himself...
Qi Shengzhi looked at Lin Tianlu's lifeless face with a complicated look in his eyes.
On the way here, he thought about the whole thing. Lin Tianlu's secret trip to deliver the goods obviously meant he had other intentions. He naturally could not accept such a treacherous behavior, but he could not ignore Lin Tianlu's current situation.
"Just focus on recuperating and don't overthink it. If there's anything, we'll talk about it after you're discharged from the hospital."
Qi Shengzhi's words were calm, and he didn't seem to have the furious reaction that Lin Tianlu had expected.
He couldn't help but slowly opened his eyes with some surprise, only to see Qi Shengzhi pick up the thermos on the bedside table and walk out.
After a while, Qi Shengzhi came back with some water. He poured water into his cup and said calmly:
"I've called the nurses' station. The hospital cafeteria can provide three meals a day. Just ask the nurse to go to the cafeteria and get them back for you."
"I have to prepare for the wedding these two days, so I may not have time to come and see you. I will ask Xuefeng and Xinghuo to come and keep you company."
"As for what your wife said, don't take it to heart. Medicine is developing very quickly now. If Ning City can't cure it, go to the provincial capital for treatment. If the provincial capital can't cure it, go to Beijing for treatment. As long as you don't give up, there is always hope for life."
Lin Tianlu blinked non-stop, feeling his eyes burning hot. Before he could react, tears welled up in his eyes.
"Sheng Zhi...I'm sorry for you. I'm too embarrassed to see you..."
Seeing that Lin Tianlu had changed from a vigorous young man into a haggard invalid with sunken cheeks and broken legs and waist in just a few days, Qi Shengzhi felt bad. After being brothers for almost ten years, he was also upset.
"Don't think too much. Goods and money are trivial matters. The most important thing is that people survive. As for the rest... we can handle it together."
Hearing Qi Shengzhi's words, Lin Tianlu could no longer hold back and burst into tears with his face covered.
