Chapter 47
47.
"We have to try to know if it works or not." Han Xing's father sighed, "If we try, there's still a possibility. If we don't try, it's impossible."
Hearing what Han Xing's father said, Han Xing's mother became even more worried: "Tell me, how about I pretend to be sick?"
"What? You still don't trust me and are afraid that I can't pretend?" Han Xing's father asked.
Han Xing's mother thought, "Your personality, which makes you jump up and down at the slightest childishness, really doesn't make you look like you're sick. It's better for me to do it." But while she thought this in her heart, she didn't say it out loud: "I'm just feeling sorry for you, isn't it? After all, pretending to be sick means being stuck in the room the whole time and not being able to go out. I'm used to it, but you might not be."
"No, no." Han Xing's father shook his head and refused. "It's useless for you to come here. When I was sick, I could let that brat wait on me personally. But when you're sick, he'll openly use the taboo of a grown son avoiding his mother. He'll be lucky to see you once a day, morning and night. By then, he'll definitely hire someone to take care of you. It's impossible for us to stop him."
Han Xing's mother had different thoughts from Han Xing's father: "If you're sick, I know I have experience taking care of patients, so maybe I'll ask someone to help me take care of you. But if I'm sick and you act like a hands-off boss, then to prevent outsiders from bullying me, won't the child have to watch over me constantly?"
"My father was sick, and he took care of him day and night. How dare he hire someone and then leave him alone?" Han Xing's father blew his beard and glared.
"Don't you know what your son is like?" Han Xing's mother said, "When it comes to filial piety, he's not vague about the big things, but when it comes to taking care of sick parents, he's never done anything like that since he was a child. You must have paid someone to do it. Do you still expect him to clean your body and feed you?"
Han Xing's father thought about it carefully and found that what Han Xing's mother said made sense: "According to this, no matter which of us is sick, he will probably hire one or two maids, and then expect us to watch over the maids and take care of the patient?"
The expression on Han Xingniang's face was the epitome of "Isn't this obvious?" However, because she couldn't see the other person's face clearly while lying in bed at night, Han Xingniang spoke out loudly, "If it were me who was sick, he might be more worried. After all, you don't have much experience in caring for patients."
"I think I should do it." Although he felt that what Han Xing's mother said made sense, Han Xing's father still insisted on his own opinion: "I will not feel at ease if I don't watch him from morning to night."
Seeing that she couldn't convince the child's father no matter what she did, Han Xing's mother almost rolled her eyes. After hesitating for a while, she finally decided to say, "How about you get sick first, and then if the child doesn't come to take care of him personally, I will get sick right after because of the anxiety and the hard work of taking care of the patient?"
"That's fine!" Han Xing's father said, "I just don't believe it. With his parents both sick, how can he still have the mind to do anything else?"
Han Xingniang was not as confident as her husband, but she thought that this method had other
There is no possibility at all, so I just pretended to be sick with Han Xing's father.
As to why Han Xing's father and mother pretended to be sick at this juncture - a scholar was arrested by the police in the French Concession for writing unpleasant things in the newspaper, and intellectuals and students were protesting.
As a famous novelist of the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School, Tian Guangqian, who had a wide circle of friends, naturally got involved in this matter. Many of Tian Guangqian's friends helped him and invited him to speak out in newspapers to lend a hand, and also held meetings to discuss solutions.
Han Xing's father and mother couldn't think of doing this: Even though it was the French government that arrested them, who knew who was behind the arrests? What if they offended some powerful figure? And no matter which government it was, they weren't reasonable or law-abiding. What if they arrested everyone involved?
The two men didn't want Tian Guangqian to take risks, but they had no other good ideas, so they came up with the bad idea of pretending to be sick.
Tian Guangqian was completely unprepared for this. The next day, when he suddenly heard that his father was ill, he became very anxious. He quickly called a doctor to see him and asked his mother to see him as well, in case it was an infectious disease or they had eaten something that upset their stomachs.
After the visit of the old Chinese doctor, he found that although the two elderly people did have some minor ailments, the man was not so bad that he could not get bedridden. He frowned in confusion for a moment.
Seeing the famous old Chinese doctor frowning, Tian Guangqian's heart trembled, thinking that his parents at home were seriously ill. Han Xing's father and mother were also trembling in their hearts, thinking that they were about to be exposed by the old Chinese doctor.
Han Xing's father took the initiative to shake the old Chinese doctor's hand: "Old brother, what is my illness? Please don't hide it from me. I can bear it! At my age, what else can I not experience? It's just an illness, right? Just tell me directly, I will definitely cooperate with the treatment."
"This...it's good that the patient has the determination to overcome the disease." Seeing Han Xing's father's tearful expression, the experienced old Chinese doctor instantly understood that he was feigning illness to fight between father and son. Seeing Han Xing's father's pitiful appearance, he said, "I'll prescribe some medicine. As long as you take it well, you will definitely recover."
Anyway, the patient does have some chronic minor ailments, so it would be nice to prescribe some medicine to treat them.
Tian Guangqian was able to be liked by so many girlfriends, so his ability to read people's expressions must be quite good. When he saw this scene, he immediately guessed that his father was pretending to be sick.
At this time, Han Xing's father pulled the old Chinese doctor aside and said, "Old brother, I really have to admit that I am old. I am old now and only want to have children and grandchildren around me, but I don't know if I will have this blessing anymore."
"Don't worry, you will have this blessing." The old Chinese doctor saw Tian Guangqian dressed in a Western style, and guessed that his son didn't want to get married and have children, so his parents used a trick to force him. For a while, he understood and was willing to marry him.
Yes, he left the recipe to Han Xing's parents.
"I'll take you there." Tian Guangqian said as he escorted the old Chinese doctor back to the clinic.
On the way, Tian Guangqian asked, "Doctor, is my father's illness a physical or mental illness? Is it serious? Can you give me a definite answer?"
When the old doctor heard Tian Guangqian asking this, he knew that he had some idea in his mind. He couldn't help to conceal it any further, but he couldn't expose it directly either. So he said cryptically: "When people get older, their spirit is very important. If their mood is good and their spirit is smooth, all diseases will naturally disappear."
Tian Guangqian heard this and left a prescription for Han Xing's parents.

Bar?
As for whether Yi Hanxing would feel sorry for her sister by putting the blame on her, Tian Guangqian replied, "Absolutely not." If the younger sister could even go so far as to cheat her brother by sending her own parents over just to hang out with her older brother, then what's wrong with the older brother asking his younger sister to help take care of his parents for his own business? This isn't mutual cheating; it's a form of brotherly love and mutual support.
For this purpose, Tian Guangqian also wrote a heartfelt letter to his second sister, expressing his great welcome to her arrival and asking his friends to help arrange accommodation for their family.

He asked the hired help to carry his father on his back and took them to the house in the International Settlement in a rickshaw.
On the way, Tian Guangqian pointed to Delin Middle School and said, "This is where my younger sister goes to school. It's not far from the house we rented and we can walk there."
Arriving in front of the western-style building, looking at the six-story building, Han Xingniang couldn't help but ask, "Which floor do we live on?
"The fourth floor. Tian Guangqian explained, "This floor was divided by the landlord into twelve households, each with one room. Six households live on the second floor, all with one bedroom and one living room. The third floor has three households, and the fourth floor has two.
