Wei Aiguo and his wife didn't care about how Grandpa Shen and the others were doing; he immediately asked someone to find out the phone number of the guesthouse where Old Zeng was resting.
Old Zeng had a slight fever, and Di Jianjun, considering his health, insisted that he not continue the journey, which is why they rested halfway through.
Old Zeng and his team have rested for two days. He feels that everything is fine and they are ready to set off tomorrow.
Only after hearing Lao Zeng's voice did the couple feel relieved.
When Lao Zeng hung up the phone, his feelings were somewhat complicated.
He's lived to this age, and he can tell whether people genuinely care about him or are just being insincere.
He asked Di Jianjun to call and inquire about Shen Changchuan's current situation every day.
At this moment, especially for Wei Aiguo, whose biological father was lying there, he had not forgotten himself.
Song Yan kept giving instructions to this person and that person, as if he were a disobedient child.
Over the years, even during his most difficult times, there have been people who cared about him. But the care he received then is different from the care he receives now.
Fu Baozhen felt resentful and envious for not receiving any of her biological father's property. But as a daughter, had he fulfilled his obligations to her?
Di Jianjun saw that after Zeng Lao hung up the phone, he stared blankly, which was quite strange. "Zeng Lao, I think Wei Aiguo is right. We don't need to rush the rest of the journey."
After a long while, Old Zeng finally responded with a soft "Mm!"
He sighed. What was wrong with him? Shen Changchuan's sudden injury and life-threatening condition had stirred up quite a few emotions within him. Honestly, he was getting more sentimental with age. Hadn't he seen countless lives on the battlefield? ...
Grandpa Shen's concern for his son was genuine. Shen Sushuang took meticulous care of her grandfather.
The next day, he put his mother on the train back home.
She told her mother what her third uncle looked like, "You can see for yourself, right?"
Eating and lodging here costs money, and their family can't afford it after a while.
Sister-in-law Shen was genuinely worried about her brother-in-law; she knew how well he took care of her daughter. She had come intending to see him, but hadn't considered the expenses. Now that she had seen him, it was only natural for her to hurry back.
Old Shen didn't want to leave; the father and daughter stayed there. How much could it cost? If someone could say a word, this amount of money wouldn't be a problem.
At the time, Han, the clerk, disagreed with covering the expenses, and since he wasn't familiar with him, he didn't dare say much. If he had run into Secretary Fang or others, he could have spoken to them properly, and the food and lodging expenses would have been reimbursed.
He'd rather leave immediately like his sister-in-law; he's not willing to accept that.
Isn't Wei Aiguo staying in the hospital a sign that he's planning to acknowledge his father?
If he were willing to call him "Grandpa," the old man would be overjoyed. And if he were so happy, the little thing he had... well, it's hard to say who would end up with it.
And that day he took that kick, he was unwilling to accept it.
I was startled by Wei Aiguo's expression at the time. Why did I just silently endure it?
You can argue with him!
Don't underestimate him just because he's a junior. His very status—he's a soldier—do you think he can just hit people like that?
If he starts making a scene, he'll be in deep trouble.
Shen Lao Er planned in his mind that if he saw them and they were still so rude and didn't respect him, he would make a scene with them.
Let's see who gets embarrassed then.
Given the state of the third child, he might really never wake up.
Aside from the third son, the old man wouldn't really do anything to him. As for the others, he could keep them in check in terms of seniority. It's just that he was too cowardly that day…
Shen Sushuang went to see her sister-in-law off. He wanted to accompany the old man to see Shen Changchuan, but the old man disagreed and insisted on waiting for Shen Sushuang.
Shen Lao Er: Let's wait then.
I lost face in front of Shen Sushuang that day, so I might as well regain my dignity in front of him...
It could be said that Shen Lao Er had been preparing his courage all the way to cause trouble for others.
As a result, he was not allowed to enter the hospital.
The guards only let the old man and Shen Sushuang in; Shen Lao Er couldn't get them in no matter how much he pleaded.
He wouldn't dare to force his way in; everyone there was carrying a gun.
I can't log in today, I can't log in tomorrow, and I still can't log in the day after tomorrow.
The day after tomorrow, he saw Old Zeng get out of a military jeep.
Shen Lao Er's heart sank. When Zeng Lao arrived, he didn't dare to say a word.
He was no longer a child when he left the Zeng family. He didn't dare to say a word in front of the eldest son of the Zeng family.
Even when Zeng Lao was at his lowest point, he didn't dare to approach him. He always felt that Zeng Lao carried a murderous aura.
He and Shen Suqin quietly returned to the guesthouse.
Shen Lao Er felt a lot of resentment for no reason. At first, he didn't know that Lao San's wife was a young lady from the Zeng family, but he knew that she was quite wealthy.
When they find out, they'll realize just how wealthy the third son is.
Wei Aiguo will definitely get his father's things. Old Zeng gave all his things to his wife, so they're basically going to be given to him too!
Needless to say, he knew exactly how big the Zeng family's house was.
The third son is the worst. You, your son, and your daughter-in-law are all so rich now, and you're still eyeing his father's little bit of wealth!
The third son broke off relations with him and declared that if the old man lost anything or gave it to someone else, he would not agree to acknowledge his son back.
From then on, the old man never let go of anything he had.
Shen Lao Er felt that God was still watching over him; Shen Lao San's accident presented him with an opportunity.
But I didn't expect it to be so difficult to get a good deal.
Especially now that the old man is in the hospital for a whole day, and he spends all his time looking at his eldest grandson... Shen Lao Er feels like he's about to cool off.
He tried to sound out the old man's opinion, but the old man said he just spent his days with him and didn't say anything else.
He couldn't get a single word out of Shen Sushuang.
Pshaw! That's not how it is at all! You're all fooling idiots!
But he was anxious but there was nothing he could do. He was furious, and turned to scold Shen Suqin again. "...Aren't you usually quite eloquent? Quite good at pleasing the old man?"
"As long as the old man is willing to take you to the hospital, how could you not get in?"
Shen Suqin was scolded until she cried, but she didn't dare to talk back. She felt she was the one who was wronged; she genuinely wanted to get along with them...
Shen Lao Er knew that losing his temper was useless, but he couldn't help it.
The money in his hand was quickly spent. If he was even a penny short, they wouldn't let him stay or sell him food.
Han, the clerk, was truly generous; he lent money and grain coupons alike.
Thinking of this, Shen Lao Er spat again: If it were him, he wouldn't be stingy either, since he could just deduct it directly from his workplace.
