As she spoke, she glared at Huang Shi with resentment, her cheeks flushed, "If anything happens to our son, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life."
She will hate her in-laws and the second wife for the rest of her life.
Upon hearing this, Huang Shi looked at his wife hesitantly, "Does she have a fever?"
As he spoke, he reached out with his hand.
Sister-in-law Huang shook off his hand, remaining silent, her eyes growing increasingly bloodshot. "Don't touch me!"
“I know you’re unwilling to accept this,” Huang Shi sighed softly, “but this disease is indeed incurable. Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and status are determined by heaven. No one can force it.”
At this point, he no longer held any hope of curing his son.
Previously, she was obsessed with believing that those doctors were all quacks and refused to believe that her son was truly beyond saving.
Looking back now, those people probably just thought I was crazy.
They knew all along that this disease was incurable, yet they still foolishly hoped their son would recover, and even tried to blame the doctor. They were truly selfish and ignorant.
"How could you believe those quack doctors?" Sister-in-law Huang didn't want to believe it. "There must be a way, we just haven't found it yet."
“I also hope it can be cured,” Huang Shi said, closing his eyes in pain, “but one has to learn to accept one’s fate.”
His closest father was forced to leave him; he had already lost too much in order to pay for his son's medical treatment.
We should also learn to accept it.
“We can’t accept our fate,” Sister-in-law Huang cried, grabbing her husband in a panic. “If we accept our fate, our family will be gone. He’s so young, and he doesn’t even have a child…”
"So what?" Huang Shi also shed tears. "He brought this upon himself, he can only suffer the consequences. What can we do? We can't change his life."
"Why can't I exchange my life for his?!"
Overwhelmed with grief, the couple couldn't help but embrace and weep bitterly.
In the end, Sister-in-law Huang did not insist on going back. She thought about it, but Huang Shi held her back tightly.
Huang Shi was prepared to lose his son, so he naturally began to plan for the couple and did not want to offend anyone.
Besides, he also felt ashamed.
When Huang Mu fell ill, he knew that the family still had some money, but the old man told him that he wanted to use it to buy land. Driven by selfish motives, he did not object.
He didn't know if his younger brother, who was being treated properly, would survive, but he also understood that the moment they chose to hoard money and refuse to treat others, they had already abandoned their brother and had no right to ask his family to do anything for them in this lifetime.
At times like this, he would think, "If they had been willing to spend the money back then, would things have turned out differently..."
Perhaps things wouldn't have come to this.
Huangjiakou and Huangshan waited a long time for their people to return, and were immediately filled with resentment, "Why did you take so long to come back?"
"Son, are you thirsty? Mom will boil some water for you."
"Hurry up, my throat's practically on fire!" Huang Shan's tone was extremely impatient.
“Big Mountain,” Yellowstone warned, “watch your attitude.”
“Dad, if you have a temper, go outside and vent it,” Huang Shan said fearlessly. “I don’t want to make things difficult for myself.”
He was very unwilling to accept that he was going to die at such a young age, having to drink endless bitter medicine every day and endure indescribable itching and pain.
Anyway, he didn't have many days left to live, and he didn't want to make himself suffer.
“Insolence!” Huang Shi’s face turned ashen. “I am your father.”
"So what?" Huang Shan scoffed. "I'm about to die, why should I care about these things?"
If you can't save your own life, can't you even vent your frustrations?
Seeing this, Huang Shi was very disappointed. "Da Shan, we gave you our lives, raised you for so many years, and even went bankrupt to pay for your medical treatment. We don't owe you anything."
"Is that so?" Huang Shan lowered his head, concealing the resentment that filled his eyes. "If you hadn't failed to teach me properly, would I have ended up like this?"
"Blame me?" Huang Shi found it unbelievable. "Didn't I tell you you're shameless? You blame others for your own incompetence. That's all you're good for."
I'd heard my son say that before, but I thought it was just a momentary slip of the tongue. Now it seems he really meant it.
This is ridiculous. He explained everything clearly, even breaking it down in detail, just in case his son didn't understand. Now he's being accused of not teaching his son well.
"If you hadn't forced me to marry that venomous woman, Qin, how would I have ended up like this today?"
His words were filled with hatred and resentment, which made Huang Shi, who was two steps away, feel uneasy.
"It's true that we arranged the marriage for you to Qin," Huang Shi said with a deep expression, "but she didn't have a child for three years, so your family asked you to divorce her. You've been protecting and cherishing her like a treasure, and you're blaming us for that?"
He realized that in his son's mind, all the blame lay with others, not with himself.
He knew he was too old to argue with his son at his age, but he just couldn't accept it.
The father blames himself, the wife blames herself, so why should the son blame himself too? What right does he have?
He's the one who caused all this trouble. Before these people who are having a lot of headaches can say anything, they hear him complaining one after another. Why should he?
Upon hearing this, Huang Chuan did not refute it, but his eyes grew even more gloomy.
He always felt that all the disasters were caused by the Qin family, and that if it weren't for them, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
Huang Shi sighed and revealed his plan, "If you have time, you should think about how to take revenge. This is the only thing we, as your parents, can do for you."
He wanted to see a doctor, but he had no money left.
They can sell their houses and land, but the disease cannot be cured. They spend the money and lose their loved ones, making their lives even more difficult.
"Revenge?" Huang Shan murmured absentmindedly. "There's no revenge. She's innocent."
"You're still protecting that bitch," Huang Shi said, both anxious and angry. "You've already lost your life and haven't even learned your lesson. You're beyond redemption!"
Instead of reflecting on their own lack of self-respect and questioning the vixen's innocence, they took their anger out on their closest relatives.
How dare you blame this person and that person? Where do you get the nerve?
At that moment, Huang Shi began to feel a pang of regret.
He shouldn't have wasted two thousand taels of silver on such a worthless thing.
Perhaps he was overthinking things. Although he only had one son, he wasn't indispensable. Two thousand taels of silver could be used to recuperate; sooner or later, he could have a second or a third...
Upon hearing this, Huang Shan didn't say anything, but irritably pulled the blanket over his head, looking like he was ready to let Huang Shi stomp around, which made Huang Shi even angrier.
After boiling the water, Sister-in-law Huang saw the situation and immediately scolded, "Husband, the blanket is covering our son's face, why don't you reach out and pull it off?"
As he spoke, he put down the bowl and immediately went forward to tidy up.
"Doesn't he have hands?" Huang Shi sneered. "He's a heartless wolf cub. Only you would treat him like a treasure."
These words made Sister-in-law Huang very unhappy. "How can you say that? This is our own son, the one I carried for ten months and gave birth to. He's a wolf cub, and what are you?"
These words left Huang Shi speechless. "You're just going to spoil him. He'll regret it sooner or later. He's still protecting that slut. No matter how much we do, he won't appreciate it."
