That same evening, the Sang family was also in turmoil.
Sun Qiuyun and Sang Huaiyuan both came back to have dinner with the old lady. With Ye Qingqing's appetite-stimulating pills and Ye Qingqing's occasional massages, the old lady's appetite has been very good recently. She can eat a lot more food every day, and her complexion has naturally improved a lot.
Seeing his mother in good spirits, Sang Huaiyuan was very happy, but his own spirits were not so good. He had recently proposed to build a commercial center in Pingjiang City, which had been approved. He was busier than before, and even his mealtimes were squeezed out.
Sun Qiuyun seemed to have something on her mind, her brows were furrowed, and she had no appetite.
The old lady immediately noticed that the couple had a fight, so she took the initiative to speak up and lighten the mood.
"I asked you to get a full body checkup the other day, did you go?" the old lady asked her son with concern.
Sang Huaiyuan's expression changed slightly, but he smiled and said, "I'll definitely do it when I have some free time. I'm just too busy right now!"
The old lady's face darkened; she was very displeased. "When are you not busy? You keep putting it off until tomorrow, and then the day after. When will you ever get it done?"
Sang Huaiyuan smiled ingratiatingly, not arguing back, and let the old lady scold him.
Sun Qiuyun couldn't hold back any longer. Ignoring her husband's instructions, she said, "Mom, Huaiyuan has already had a physical exam, and the results are in. He has a lot of health problems; none of his internal organs are healthy. The most serious one is his heart. The doctor told him to rest more and not to work late into the night anymore..."
Sang Huaiyuan interrupted his wife impatiently, "Don't scare Mom. I'm not that serious, it's just a minor ailment!"
"Your body is like an old car, and you call this a minor problem? The doctor said that if you continue working at this high intensity, you could..."
Sun Qiuyun's eyes reddened, and she didn't continue speaking, but the old lady understood and her heart sank to the bottom.
She never expected her son's health to be so poor. He was only in his early fifties, the prime of his life, so how could he have become so weak?
"Mom, don't listen to Qiuyun's alarmist talk. I just haven't rested well. I'll be fine as long as I get enough rest," Sang Huaiyuan comforted the old lady and gave his wife a warning look, but Sun Qiuyun ignored him.
"Mom, these are the results of the physical examination. Please take a look."
Sun Qiuyun took out the medical report from her bag and handed it to the old lady. Since she couldn't persuade her husband, she would let her mother-in-law do it.
The old lady had a basic understanding of medicine, and she immediately understood why Sun Qiuyun was so angry. Sang Huaiyuan's health was worse than she had imagined, with none of his indicators meeting the standards.
Just like an old car riddled with holes, it could fall apart at any moment.
“I advised Huaiyuan to resign as vice mayor, or to focus on culture and education instead of the economy. I don’t care about being rich or powerful now, I just want my family to be safe, sound and healthy, but Huaiyuan just won’t listen…”
Sun Qiuyun was both angry and heartbroken, and tears streamed down her face.
The old lady's health is like this; what will she do if her husband collapses as well?
"Don't cry, it's Huaiyuan's fault, Mom will talk to him!"
The old lady glared at Sang Huaiyuan and gently comforted her daughter-in-law. Sun Qiuyun gradually stopped crying, feeling a little embarrassed. She was so old, yet she was still crying like a child; it was too shameful.
"Huaiyuan, can't you really quit your current job? Like Qiuyun, all I want is for you to be safe and healthy. Even if you're just an ordinary person, it's fine." The old lady sighed.
She has enjoyed wealth and luxury, but it's really not that important. The most important thing is that the family can be reunited and that everyone is in good health. Nothing else matters.
