Fu Wan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, "Tsk, He Guoli is still so irritable even though he's injured!"
But it was actually quite fun.
He Guohua shook his head speechlessly, "What do you mean by irritable? It's just that he doesn't think things through. In mainland terms, he's all brawn and no brain."
"But it's good, the more they make a scene, the happier my brother and I are."
Once they are all discharged from the hospital, the affairs of the He family should no longer concern them!
Whether they'll have enough to eat and wear then will depend entirely on the whims of us two brothers!
Seeing the glee on He Guohua's face, Fu Wan couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.
No wonder people say that wealthy families are full of troubles. Considering what He Guohua said about being abandoned by his father when he was young and almost losing his life because of his stepmother's scheming, it is no easy feat for the brothers He Guohua and He Guozhong to have come this far!
Compared to Ho Kwok-shing and Ho Kwok-lee, the Ho Kwok-chung and Ho Kwok-wah brothers perfectly exemplify what it means to accomplish great things quietly.
He Guosheng and He Guoli's petty squabbles are probably not worth taking seriously by He Guozhong.
Moreover, if Ho Kwok-chung and Ho Kwok-wah were like Ho Kwok-sing and Ho Kwok-lee, the Ho family would never have been able to rise to a higher level.
Thinking of this, Fu Wan couldn't help but shake her head. Luckily, she was on the same side as these two brothers. If it had been He Guosheng or He Guoli who had invited her earlier, tsk, she might have been the one who fell into the water and was used as a shield.
After all, it's not the formidable opponent you should fear, but the incompetent teammate!
Back at the hotel, Fu Wan and the others discovered that Li Zhong was waiting for them in the hotel lobby.
Before Li Zhong could speak, He Guohua waved his hand and ordered, "Mr. Li, you and Ah Cai go and help Miss Fu with the remittance this afternoon. Have the finance department go with you and transfer the payment I'm going to Miss Fu into the account as well."
"Okay, boss."
Li Zhong readily agreed, and Fu Wan was overjoyed.
"Mr. He, thank you so much, you've thought of everything."
Fu Wan was initially worried that her lack of Cantonese would hinder her communication at the bank, but she didn't expect that He Guohua had also considered this.
He Guohua waved his hand, "No need to be polite, Miss Fu, we are all friends."
We're going to have dinner at Victoria Peak tonight. I'll have Ah Cai pick you up then.
After saying this, He Guohua also bid farewell and left.
With everyone gone and nothing left to do, Fu Wan was at a loss for what to do.
"Bai Qianzhou, have you finished taking care of things there?"
Fu Wan thought for a moment and asked.
"It's all done. I've already handed over the relevant documents to the person in charge."
"Then, why don't we go for a walk?"
I thought I wouldn't have time to go shopping, but I ended up having half a day free.
Bai Qianzhou nodded in agreement. Fang Min didn't want to be a third wheel, but there were quite a few underworld figures in Hong Kong, so she thought about it and followed along.
He Guosheng is a very cunning person; who knows if he will get angry and seek revenge on Fu Wan?
Hong Kong in the 1980s was very lively. Fu Wan had already experienced the charm and comfort of Victoria Harbour. This afternoon, they strolled around Causeway Bay and Tsim Sha Tsui.
Fu Wan took a fancy to an old-fashioned bracelet at a jewelry store and planned to take it back to give to Ye Xiaocui.
Bai Qianzhou found two bottles of medicinal wine, which are rare in mainland China, at the pharmacy.
Bai Qianzhou had long heard that the medicinal wine for treating sprains and bruises in Hong Kong was very famous. If it weren't for the fact that customs might intercept it, he would have liked to buy a few more bottles.
Fu Wan couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this. Bai Qianzhou was always clever, so why hadn't he realized it yet? It was true that customs regulations only allowed one person to bring two bottles, but the problem was that there were three of them!
Including Li Zhong, that makes four people, which means they can buy eight bottles!
So the three of them went to the pharmacy and, based on the salesperson's recommendation, bought several bottles of medicinal wine that were said to be effective.
Fu Laoda and Ye Xiaocui both suffer from rheumatism, which easily causes them to ache in winter and on rainy days. Ye Jianguo is another example. These middle-aged and elderly people who worked hard when they were young now suffer from aches and pains all over the place.
I'll buy it and try it out. If it really works, I can ask Li Zhong to bring back a few bottles when he travels to and from Gangcheng in the future!
Dinner was at Victoria Peak. Knowing that the young people who had saved him a few days ago were from the mainland, the old man of the Ho family kept saying that he wanted to treat them to dinner.
He Guozhong and He Guohua were too busy with the fishing competition to get away. Finally, things settled down these past two days, and the right to use the pier was transferred to the He family. He Guozhong wanted to celebrate properly, so this dinner came about.
It's customary to bring a gift when visiting someone's home, so Fu Wan, knowing they were going out for dinner that evening, specially bought a jade bracelet as a gift for Old Mrs. He that afternoon.
As for Old Master He, Bai Qianzhou prepared a lumbar support cushion so that the old man could sit on the bed without back pain.
Fu Wan felt a little regretful when she was shopping. If she had known she would have the day to visit the elders, she would have brought some bird's nest or something similar. She wondered if they would even like the bracelets and back cushions.
However, thinking back to our brief meeting last time, the He family couple seemed to be quite easygoing people.
Sure enough, upon seeing Fu Wan take out the jade bracelet, Old Mrs. He exclaimed "Oh dear!" and kept scolding, "Oh dear, young man, you've come all this way, why bring anything else!"
"A small gift, I hope you and the old gentleman like it."
Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou said in unison that Fang Min didn't come this time. She must have eaten something bad this afternoon and had gastroenteritis, so she's resting at the hotel.
The old lady smiled very kindly, "I like it, I like it. We would like it even if you didn't bring anything. The fish that Ah Zhong and Ah Hua brought these past few days are also delicious. I heard that you caught them all?"
Fu Wan smiled shyly and nodded, "Yes, I'm glad you like it."
Compared to Mrs. He's amiability, Mr. He was much more serious.
He first looked Bai Qianzhou and Fu Wan over, and finally focused his gaze on Bai Qianzhou.
"Young man, was it you who gave me the acupuncture a few days ago?"
Bai Qianzhou nodded neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Yes, sir, it's me."
Grandpa He picked up his cane and tapped it on the carpet. "You've got some guts, kid. You've only just learned how to do this and you dare to stab me. But I like you too. You two, where in the mainland are you from?"
"A native of Longhai City."
After Bai Qianzhou finished speaking, Fu Wan glanced at him in surprise.
Strictly speaking, Bai Qianzhou should be a native of the capital.
Now he claims to be from Longhai City, but does this old man even know where that is?
However, it's clear that Mr. He really did know.
"Longhai City, that's indeed a good place."
His words carried a hint of longing, and he quickly coughed twice before saying, "I've been to Longhai City before, young man. Are the people in the inland areas able to eat their fill?"
Fu Wan was stunned for a long time by this question. Even though she had thought that Grandpa He would ask about things in the mainland, she never expected that, besides asking where they came from, his first question would be whether the people in the mainland had enough to eat.
