After washing with cold water in the dead of winter, neither of them felt anything, their gums chattering.
"Damn old man, I'm going to kill him," the old lady said viciously with trembling lips.
Changshun gritted his teeth, he also wanted to kill the old man right then and there.
People passing by them would pinch their noses and keep their distance.
The cleaning lady kindly reminded us, "Hurry up and have your family bring you some clothes. Drink plenty of strong ginger soup so you don't catch a cold."
Changshun was trembling all over. He went to the nurses' station to borrow a phone and called home, asking his wife to quickly send him clothes and ginger soup.
When Changshun's wife arrived at the hospital, she saw the mother and son whose lips were purple from the cold.
"Changshun, Mom, what's wrong with you?"
The two of them had no time to waste, they quickly grabbed the clothes and put them on, not caring about the hot ginger soup, they gulped it down.
After drinking the ginger soup, the two of them felt alive again.
"Why do you stink so much?" Changshun's wife pinched her nose. It seemed like her mother-in-law and the man had defecated.
The old woman glared viciously at her daughter-in-law. "I can't stand that old man for even a day longer!"
The old lady didn't care about money at all. When she saw Old Man Guan, she wanted to kill him. He wanted her to live with him, so he might as well kill her.
Changshun also hates it, but he still has his sanity.
"Mom, hang in there a little longer. With his diarrhea like this, it's uncertain whether he'll survive. Maybe this is his last act of defiance. We can't give up at this final moment."
"But if he doesn't die, can you bear to watch me live with a beast that spews filth everywhere?" The old woman's tears fell incessantly.
Changshun hugged his mother and said, "Mom, it's better if he's not dead. We've suffered so much, yet we've never abandoned him. If he had any sense, he would feel guilty towards us. We certainly won't suffer any loss. We've already gone through all this, and we can't expect to get anything in return. I'm not willing to accept that!"
The old lady opened her mouth, but got nothing in return and was even covered in feces. She was unwilling to accept this.
The two did not return to the ward. They asked the wife to take care of Old Man Guan first, while they went to a nearby bathhouse for a hot bath.
Changshun's wife knew the whole story, so she stayed close to the wall when she entered the ward, afraid that Old Man Guan would berate her if he bent over.
Old man Guan was lying weakly on the hospital bed. If he continued to spray, he would die. But he was still very happy in his heart. They dared to plot against him, and this was a good thing for them.
When the mother and son came back, they asked Old Man Guan about his well-being and did not show any dissatisfaction.
Old Man Guan apologized verbally, but inwardly he sneered, "Little Cao, Changshun, from now on we're family. What if I'm not around anymore..."
Changshun and the old lady looked at Old Man Guan expectantly, waiting for him to continue, but Old Man Guan shut up.
Changshun understood. It had only been a few days, and the old man still had concerns. He couldn't rush things; the Guan family's possessions would eventually belong to the Zhou family.
From that day on, the mother and son took better care of Old Man Guan.
After getting to know him a little better, Changshun started asking about Old Man Guan.
Old Man Guan told Changshun about his persecution and how he was betrayed by his servants.
The information about being a household slave made Changshun very itchy. A household slave must have been a servant in this family for at least two generations to be called a household slave. Old Man Guan must be from a big family, and he might even be a royal relative.
Thinking of this possibility, Changshun was so excited that he couldn't sleep. Even if a nobleman was in decline, he was still a nobleman. Any little thing he owned could be enough for an ordinary person to live on for several lifetimes. He thought the Li family wouldn't suffer by supporting such a useless old man.
Now that the pie has fallen on his head, he must seize it.
