Hua Wanjiang noticed Hua Zhongzhi's worry and said to Hua Wanjiang, "Father, don't think so much. How could I not care about you? We'll leave whenever the second brother and the others come."
Hua Zhongzhi dared not look Hua Wanjiang in the eye: "At this point, I... Boss, Father, Father... I don't know how to say this."
Hua Wanjiang said, "Then let's not talk about it. Let Kaikai go buy food."
Hua Zhongzhi nodded: "Mm." He wanted to say that he had delayed Hua Wanjiang and Gu Lanyan from going to the market to earn money, and he wanted to say that he was sorry to them. There was so much he wanted to say, but when the words reached his lips, he felt that it would be useless to say anything.
Before Hua Kai could say anything, Ye Yifan said to her, "Let's go buy some food."
Hua Kai understood Ye Yifan's meaning and followed him out.
After leaving the ward, Ye Yifan said to Hua Kai, "Wait a little longer. Anyway, I don't have to go to work today. If Second Uncle doesn't come this afternoon, I'll take you back to the village to 'invite' them."
Hua Kai understood Ye Yifan's "please" and smiled: "You have more combat experience than I do."
Ye Yifan smiled and said, "You're too close to the situation to see clearly."
The two went out for a quick meal, then bought some lunch to take back with them, including some for Zhang Shengyuan and his wife who worked in the same clinic.
When they returned, Hua Wanhe had not yet arrived. After lunch, they talked for a while, and Hua Chongzhi began to get impatient.
He kept glancing at the door, his face growing increasingly pale: "Why isn't he here yet? He said he'd be here this morning."
Hua Wanjiang quickly comforted Hua Zhongzhi: "Father, something may have delayed you. Don't worry, just wait a little longer."
Hua Zhongzhi clenched his fists: "If there's anything, you can ask the third and fourth brothers to come. Why won't anyone come? Does this mean they don't want me anymore?"
Hua Wanjiang said, "No, we can't wait any longer."
Hua Kai went over and said a few words to Zhang Shengyuan and his wife, saying that her family takes turns serving the old man, and that she would come often in the future, and that she could help if needed.
The couple were extremely grateful to Hua Kai.
Two o'clock had passed and Hua Wanhe still hadn't arrived. Hua Kai felt it was about time and said to Hua Zhongzhi, "Master, Ye Yifan and I should go back and check. Maybe something happened at home and they didn't tell us because they were afraid we'd worry. It'll put our minds at ease if we check. My parents are worried about my brother and younger brother at home. If we go back and check, everyone will be at ease."
Hua Chongzhi nodded repeatedly: "Go and take a look quickly."
Hua Kai and Ye Yifan drove back to the village.
Upon arriving in the village, we first visited Hua Kai's house to see Hua Qingyi and Hua Qingyang. The two brothers seemed to be doing well at home, both reading books.
Hua Kai told her older and younger brothers about what happened at the hospital, and also mentioned that their parents might not be back until tomorrow, asking them to stay home for another day.
Afterwards, the two went to Hua Wanhe's house.
When they arrived at Hua Wanhe's house, the door was locked and there was no one there.
So the two of them went to Hua Wanhai's house again.
When they arrived at the gate, Hua Wanhai was in the courtyard. He greeted them and asked, "What brings you here?"
Hua Kai asked, "Fourth Uncle, have you seen my Second Uncle?"
Hua Wanhai shook his head: "I didn't see it."
"Is my grandma at home?" Hua Kai asked again.
Hua Wanhai said, "They're inside. Let's go inside and talk." With that, he led Hua Kai and Ye Yifan into the house.
In the past two days, Hua Wanhai and his wife have figured it out. No matter what, Hua Wanjiang is still their older brother. Now that they have the ability, although they can't openly climb the social ladder, they still need to try their best to repair the relationship, since they can still benefit from his influence in the future.
Once inside, Zheng Shuzhen heard the noise and came to the door: "Why did you say you were looking for your second uncle? Didn't your second uncle go to the city?"
Hua Kai said, "My second uncle didn't come before we arrived. We came from the city around 2 PM because we were worried something had happened at home, so we came to check on things."
Zheng Shuzhen frowned and said, "That's not right. The second son and his wife left early this morning. They said they were going to tell Linlin before they went to catch the bus. I saw them leave. Could they have gotten lost?"
Hua Kai said, "That's unlikely. My second uncle is much more shrewd than the average person."
Zheng Shuzhen was now more worried about Hua Wanhe's safety: "No, let's go ask Linlin and see if she knows anything?"
Just as he was about to leave, Hua Lin came in: "No need to go. My parents went to my maternal grandmother's house. My grandmother is sick, so they asked my mother to take care of her for a couple of days. She should be back in three or four days."
Hua Kai understood upon hearing this; it turned out that Hua Wanhe and his wife were just looking for a plausible excuse to avoid serving Hua Zhongzhi for the next few days.
Ye Yifan naturally thought of this as well. He said to Hua Wanhai, "Fourth Uncle, since Second Uncle is busy these two days, why don't you switch with him? We've left a lot of food and supplies, including plenty of fruit, biscuits, and milk. You don't need to bring anything. Hua Kai and I will be going back later, and you can come with us. You won't need to take a car."
Hua Wanhai thought it was a good idea. Since he was going to go anyway, going now would save him money, and he wouldn't have to hand over the shift to Hua Wanhe. The next shift would be Hua Wanhu.
In addition, he also wanted to curry favor with Ye Yifan and Hua Kai, so he quickly agreed and said, "Okay, then your fourth aunt and I will pack up and go with you."
Zheng Shuzhen naturally had nothing to say. She was furious because she could guess what Hua Wanhe was thinking. If this got out, it wouldn't sound good at all. What kind of behavior was it for Hua Wanhe to serve his mother-in-law but not his own father?
It's better this way, with the shift change. I'll do anything to get Hua Wanhe to the city to serve Hua Chongzhi, even if it kills me.
Hua Lin thought that if Hua Wanhe didn't go, Hua Kai wouldn't cause trouble. She had been feeling very upset these past few days, so she was just waiting for Hua Kai to come so she could have a fight with her. She had scissors in her hand. Although Hua Kai was powerful, she might not be able to escape her clutches. She was having a hard time, so she would make sure that Hua Kai had a hard time too.
But Hua Lin never expected Ye Yifan to come again. Why is he so handsome, so outstanding, and so concerned about Hua Kai?
Hua Lin had always been jealous, but seeing this made her even more jealous. When Ye Yifan looked at the flowers, his eyes were like stars, and that feeling made her want to kill him.
But she didn't dare to go crazy in front of Ye Yifan, because this man was just too beautiful. No matter how bad she was, she didn't want to lose all her dignity in front of such a man.
She turned and left immediately, because if she continued watching, she was afraid she wouldn't want to live anymore.
Hua Kai ignored Hua Lin; there was no need. Hua Lin seemed a bit mentally unstable. This person was capable of ruining herself; there was no need for her to worry about her.
Hua Wanhai and his wife quickly finished packing.
Hua Kai said goodbye to Zheng Shuzhen, "Then we're leaving."
Zheng Shuzhen still caught up with Hua Kai and asked, "Is your grandfather doing well?"
Hua Kai nodded: "Yes, it's fine."
Zheng Shuzhen wanted to say something, but seeing that Hua Kai didn't pay much attention to her, she didn't ask any more questions.
Watching the flowers bloom, they got into their car and left. Zheng Shuzhen sighed and went back to her courtyard.
This was the first time Hua Wanhai and his wife had ever ridden in a private car like this. They were a little nervous and also somewhat intimidated by Ye Yifan, so they didn't say much.
