“Hongyan… Hongyan!”
Li Pingwang doesn't want to die.
He lay on the cold floor, watching his sons ignore him with indifferent expressions, and his two biological daughters staring at him coldly. The desire to survive made him subconsciously reach out his hand to his filial daughter Li Hongyan.
Li Hongyan had no choice. She still had to rely on her father to help her out. She could only help him with an anxious look on her face: "Dad, Dad, how are you? Woo woo, my dad."
She cried so hard that she was hoarse and was in so much pain that it seemed as if Li Pingwang was already dead.
"Grandma, my grandpa seems to be a little bit abnormal. We need to rush to the hospital."
Li Yutong was watching silently from the side. This was the business of the elders and she, as a grandchild, had no say in it.
She just watched coldly. This time, her grandfather seemed to be breathing out more than breathing in. It didn't seem like he was pretending!
Chen Xiaoying was stunned for a moment, then took a closer look at Li Pingwang, who was indeed pale. "Hurry up and take him to the hospital."
She didn't want a man like Li Pingwang, who was so cruel and worse than an animal, to die in her home.
Li Hongwei and his friends, after all, were their father's biological sons. They could not bear to watch their father die in front of them, so they hurriedly worked to lift the man up.
Chen Xiaoying had a three-wheeled bicycle, and Li Hongwei was riding in the front, while Li Hongjian and Li Honggang were pushing it from the back, and Li Hongli and Li Hongxia were following behind. The group rushed all the way to the health center.
"Grandma, are you going?" Li Yutong asked. The baby Li Sihan was still sleeping in the room and she couldn't leave.
Chen Xiaoying didn't want to go, but then she thought, what if the old man couldn't hold on any longer and had a change of heart before he died and was willing to tell her where her daughter was?
"Go, why not?"
Furthermore, she also wanted to know whether he had any secrets that she didn't know about, and why he had been on guard against her all his life.
The group of people rushed to the hospital and blocked the entrance of the emergency room tightly.
The doctors were annoyed: "Don't have so many people standing here. It's inconvenient for us to get in and out to rescue the patients. Please disperse!"
Chen Xiaoying had been sitting on a chair against the wall, so she said, "Listen to the doctor and sit aside quickly. Don't make trouble at the door."
Li Hongwei, Li Hongjian and others sat on the chairs against the wall on both sides.
Li Hongyan sat down, and realized belatedly that everyone was sitting some distance away from her.
Forget about Li Hongwei, he has always been a hard nut to crack. Ever since he got married, he has been dissatisfied with his wife in every way. But what about the second and fourth brothers? They are also so far away from her.
Facing her inquiring gaze, the second son Li Hongjian and the fourth son Li Honggang turned their eyes away uncomfortably.
In the past, they thought that the eldest sister’s family was in a difficult situation, and it wasn’t easy for her three sons either. This is how their father Li Pingwang brainwashed them. They also felt that this was their eldest sister, and any help would be a helping hand. She had said that when her sons became successful in the future, they would definitely come back to help them live a better life.
But look at them now, they are all in their thirties. If their mother hadn't scolded them and woke them up, they would still be working hard outside to earn money for their eldest sister and her family. Then, they don't even have a decent house to live in, and their wives and children have no money to spend.
Moreover, it is unimaginable that the eldest sister is not their biological sister at all.
No wonder I have never felt sorry for them. Apart from scolding them for being incompetent, I also despise them for earning too little money.
Is this my biological sister? She is a cold-blooded and ruthless vampire.
"Second brother, go call third brother. We can't hide Dad's condition from him." Li Hongyan looked at their faces and knew everything. Did they want to draw a line between themselves and her?
She couldn't accept it.
Li Pingwang is still in there and his life or death is unknown. What should she do when facing this group of people led by her adoptive mother Chen Xiaoying, all alone?
What she was more worried about was that if Li Pingwang died, it would be even harder for her to recognize her biological mother, because he was a witness. If the witness died, the physical evidence was still in the hands of her cruel and heartless adoptive mother Chen Xiaoying. If she couldn't find her biological daughter, she would not give her the evidence...
Her eyes were red and she couldn't help sobbing. Why was her life so miserable?
With such a good background, she could have lived a good life like the people in the provincial capital, but why did she have to live a hard life in the poor countryside for more than 40 years? It was all her adoptive father Li Pingwang's fault.
Seeing Li Hongyan crying, Li Hongjian, who didn't want to listen to her, thought she was really sad for Li Pingwang. He thought that the third child should know about this, so he looked at Chen Xiaoying with a questioning look: "Mom?"
"Go ahead. It's about four or five hours by train. He'll be back tomorrow at the latest."
It is time to call the third brother Li Hongqiang back, so that he will no longer be filial to his biological father on the phone, but will not be able to see his father for the last time, and then turn around and hate their biological mother and brothers and sisters.
Only then did Li Hongjian make the phone call.
The family waited for less than two hours before the door of the operating room was finally opened.
Li Hongyan jumped up and ran the fastest, and Li Hongwei followed closely to watch.
Li Pingwang closed his eyes and fell into a coma.
The doctor began to give medical advice: "...The operation was very successful. It depends on the patient's own recovery. He is so old, and your family members should also be mentally prepared. There may be some limb incoordination..."
Is Li Pingwang...having a stroke?
Chen Xiaoying thought of the old man in the village who had suffered a stroke. He spoke slurred, drooled, and half of his body was paralyzed. But this was still a good situation.
If the patient is not well, he will collapse directly to the bed and have to relieve himself in the bed. If the person taking care of him is not diligent in helping him to turn over and clean himself, he will become smelly and develop bedsores. She sneered in her heart, this is really retribution.
But on second thought, given Li Pingwang's nature, he would definitely not want Li Hongyan to suffer, and then she would have to ask her sons, who are supposed to take care of him in his old age, to serve him.
Then wouldn’t her sons suffer?
Chen Xiaoying looked at Li Hongyan with a chilly look.
Li Hongyan's face also turned pale at this time. She couldn't remember that if Li Pingwang became paralyzed, she would be the one to take care of him. What she was thinking was that a person who had a stroke couldn't speak clearly and could only whine and moan. Then what was the difference between him being alive and dead?
"Mom, we're here to take care of it, you go back and have some rest." Li Hongwei was angry at his father, who had become like this. His mother Chen Xiaoying had been working hard from dawn to dusk for so many years to make money, so she must be in poor health. He couldn't let her get sick too.
Since Li Pingwang is unconscious, there is no need for Chen Xiaoying to keep him around: "Then you guys take turns watching him. If he wakes up, call me."
Chen Xiaoying left without even looking at Li Hongyan who was looking at her anxiously.
Li Hongyan looked at the heartless back of her adoptive mother Chen Xiaoying and felt a little regretful. Her wealthy biological mother had not been found yet, and she could not guarantee how much money she could get from her biological mother.
She also offended her adoptive mother.
What should she do?
Li Hongyan felt like she was about to die of worry.
She rolled her eyes, her eyes red, and said to Li Hongwei: "Big brother, I am not my mother's biological child. From now on, are you not going to recognize me as your eldest sister?"
