This time when Heigou came, because there were fewer people, he actually drove a small car.
It was Li Hongyan's first time to ride one. She was so nervous that she didn't know where to put her hands and feet. She thought that when she made a lot of money in the future, she would buy one for her eldest son Pengfei. By then, the villagers would be so envious of her.
The group went to the county town.
In the county town, Li Pingwang had a good night's sleep and felt much better.
From time to time, someone pushed the door of the ward. No matter whether they were doctors, nurses, or family members taking care of patients in the ward, he didn't care and just chatted with the old lady in the bed next to him.
"...I have four sons and three daughters, and my eldest daughter is the most filial. The rest are not so good." He was still full of resentment: "Especially the eldest. He has been cold since he was a child. If there is any problem with his brothers and sisters, don't expect him to help a penny. He also has a bad temper and offends people everywhere."
"Tell me, why do you raise so many children? They are useless. It's better to have just one or two. That's enough. No one will say that their parents are partial."
Li Hongwei was sitting nearby, listening to him saying these old-fashioned things, but he was too lazy to pay attention to him. He could say whatever he wanted to say. As long as he had a clear conscience, that was enough.
The patient in the next bed is an old lady who favors boys over girls. Her daughter has been taking care of her for more than a month. Today, her son sat next to her and said, "Your daughter is really filial. My daughter only comes to take care of me for two days. Every day she complains about backache or headache. She is reluctant to spend money on buying things. My son is good. My son is filial, has a formal job, and is usually very busy..."
Her son was standing next to her, looking impatient. He would check his watch every once in a while and say, "Why hasn't my sister come yet? I have to go to work later."
While they were chatting, Li Pingwang felt someone standing next to him.
Li Hongwei was also surprised: "Who are you?"
"Uncle, does he know who we are?" The man grinned, and his smile was quite friendly.
Li Pingwang's face changed drastically: "You, why are you in the hospital?"
"Why can't we come to the hospital? We are here to visit the patients too." The man said with a glare.
Li Pingwang was panicked and looked at Li Hongwei hurriedly: "Hongwei, tell someone quickly."
Li Hongwei stood there, looked at his father Li Pingwang, and then looked at the three debt collectors. What did he say?
The son of the old lady in the next bed already knew what was going on here. The old man asked his eldest daughter to fool him and borrowed some money with very high interest. People were demanding repayment, but he didn't blame his eldest daughter for deceiving him. Instead, he kept nagging his eldest son who was serving him and not paying off the debt for his eldest daughter.
Seeing this, he wanted to laugh and wait to see the joke.
"Oh, it's you who is paying back the money. Aren't you the boss of this family? I heard that you have a house. If you sell that house, the debt will be almost gone," said the man.
Li Hongwei immediately frowned. How could he avoid the debt collector who had to come to the hospital to collect it? "Who are you going to ask for the money from?"
"Then I'll go find your father?" The man looked at Li Pingwang.
Li Pingwang was anxious: "Hongwei, do you want someone to force me to death? I can buy another house after selling it. I am your father. If I am forced to death by someone, will you still have a father?"
"I bought that house with great difficulty. Why should I sell it to pay off my sister's debt?" Li Hongwei disagreed. After all, they were in the hospital, so he was not afraid that this group of people would beat them up.
He sat down with his head down, and refused to return it no matter what happened!
"You are going to piss me off to death!" Li Pingwang was furious.
On the hospital side, they were collecting debts, and on Li Hongyan's side, Hei Gou was driving a car and taking Li Hongyan to the hospital.
Just when Li Pingwang was scolding Li Hongwei, Li Hongyan finally arrived.
When the hospital saw this situation, they thought there was going to be trouble, so the doctor came quickly.
"What's going on? Fighting is not allowed in the hospital."
The black dog laughed and said, "Relatives, family relatives, they are here to see my uncle, doctor, you go and do your work, we promise not to fight."
The doctor was also afraid of causing trouble, so he said to Li Pingwang: "You are fine, why don't we get you discharged now, and we can talk about it after you get out."
Upon hearing this, Li Pingwang hurriedly said, "No, no, I can't leave. If I leave, I won't survive. They made me faint yesterday."
Li Pingwang was very afraid of death. He had worked hard all his life and had not yet enjoyed himself in his old age. How could he die?
Li Pingwang refused to leave, and the doctor had no choice but to go out and ask someone to watch outside. If he really caused trouble, he would report to the police.
The black dogs didn't make trouble, but just asked: "Have you discussed it? How are we going to pay the bill?"
Li Pingwang's tears welled up again, his face full of wrinkles showing an honest and miserable performance. He looked at Li Hongyan and said, "Hongyan, what should I do? Your brother doesn't want to sell the house, and Dad doesn't have any money. How can I pay off your debt?"
Li Hongyan also started crying: "Dad."
The father and daughter were almost crying.
Li Hongwei wanted to leave, but people wouldn't let him.
On this side, when Liu Lanxiang, the wife of the eldest brother Li Hongwei, saw what happened, she quickly ran to the restaurant to report the news.
Chen Xiaoying was very calm: "Don't panic, wait until the father and daughter have discussed what to do, then we will do what we should do."
"Mom, what if my dad wants to divorce you?" Liu Lanxiang couldn't help but ask.
Chen Xiaoying said sarcastically, "I would love that."
Liu Lanxiang also had some thoughts in mind. She went over to her mother-in-law Chen Xiaoying and said, "Mom, if you get divorced, Hongwei and I will take care of you in your old age."
Chen Xiaoying put down the work in her hands and looked at Liu Lanxiang.
The eldest daughter-in-law Liu Lanxiang felt uncomfortable: "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely be filial to you in the future."
Chen Xiaoying understood that no matter what the eldest son's wife said, she didn't want to care about her father-in-law Li Pingwang.
She thought for a while and said, "I will work hard to earn money. When I make money in the future, I will hire a nanny and take care of myself in my old age. I will also buy myself a coffin. When I die, you can just dig a grave and bury me."
I've died once, what's there to be afraid of?
In their previous life, the sons were afraid that others would say they were unfilial to their mother, so they held a grand funeral. However, this did not stop them from fighting in front of her mourning hall. The third son, Li Hongqiang, even pulled out a knife.
The sons born to Li Hongyan even ignored their cousins Li Yutong and were on the same side as their mother Li Hongyan from beginning to end. However, Zhao Faliang smiled brightly behind people's backs.
Why was he happy as a son-in-law? Because after she died, no one would ask them for the tens of thousands of dollars he had deposited with Li Hongyan.
The eldest son’s wife, Liu Lanxiang, calculated the bill in front of them, but they refused to admit it because she was dead and had shut her mouth. They said there was no money, so there was no money. Who could do anything to them?
"Mom, then, why don't you go to the hospital for a checkup?" Liu Lanxiang couldn't help but ask.
Her mother-in-law's idea of elderly care is really unheard of. Isn't she afraid that she will be confused due to old age and the nanny will beat her when she is in a wheelchair?
"No, Li Hongyan will be here by then."
Chen Xiaoying had a premonition that this time, they were really going to get divorced.
