After eating some food, Old Man Guan took out his phone and made a call.
An hour later, someone came to visit Old Man Guan. Old Man Guan whispered a few words to the visitor, who nodded and left.
The second brother glanced at Old Man Guan, then at the man's back, and swallowed hard. Was this something he could listen to? Why didn't they ask him to leave?
Old Man Guan said, "This man is from the underworld. I'll introduce you to him later. If there's anything you can't do yourself, have him help you."
The second child quickly shook his head, "I didn't."
"Life is never smooth sailing. Having more friends means having more options. You won't lose anything if you're not needed. I originally wanted to introduce you to the third brother, but you're more mature."
"If there's anything you can't do yourself in the future, just ask them to do it. Don't worry, if anything goes wrong, it won't involve you. That's their rule," Old Man Guan said calmly. His second son was a man of principle; he wouldn't use these people unless he was pushed to the limit. Old Man Guan felt more at ease entrusting his connections to his second son.
"Thank you, Uncle Guan." This was a backup plan, and the second brother knew what was good for him.
Before they knew it, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Old Man Guan had stayed in the hospital for half a month and was discharged to return to the Li family.
The old lady's grandson was also discharged from the hospital. The blood clot in his brain was not being absorbed well, and he often had convulsions. The doctor recommended surgery, but the Zhou family did not have the money for surgery and were afraid of the risks of craniotomy, so they wanted to have conservative treatment and let him recuperate at home.
Changshun also came out today; we went to the hospital together to pick up the child and take him home.
Changshun's wife whispered to him about being tricked into signing an IOU, and Changshun's face fell.
That old man has been lying to him and his mother, treating them like puppets. He even tricked his mother into signing IOUs for hundreds of thousands of yuan while he was away. That old bastard is too ruthless; he's trying to ruin their whole family.
"Son, what should we do? If we sue, can we win?" The old lady hasn't been eating or sleeping well these past few days. She's endured so many years with that old man, only to end up with nothing and hundreds of thousands of yuan in debt.
"Let's talk about it when we get home," Changshun said, still needing to sort things out.
The family took a taxi home. They lived in a tenement building. Just as they were about to enter the building, the old lady behind them screamed. Changshun quickly turned around.
The old woman was lying on the ground, her head covered in blood, her face and head covered in dirt, and there were a few scallions on the ground. Broken pieces of flowerpots were scattered on the ground.
Startled, Changshun's son fell backward. Changshun's wife quickly caught him and dragged him into the stairwell.
Changshun didn't dare to go see the old lady right away. He waited for a while before going over and looking up at the upstairs. The neighbors who had heard the noise earlier were all craning their necks to look down.
"Whose flowerpot is this?" Changshun shouted upstairs.
The neighbor who was craning their neck to look quickly waved their hand, saying it wasn't theirs; who would put flowerpots outside in the dead of winter?
"Mom, Mom, how are you?" Changshun rushed to see the old lady.
The old woman lost consciousness and was breathing more exhaled than inhaled.
Changshun quickly dialed 120 and 110, looking up at the building.
The neighbors, fearing they might get caught in the crossfire, quickly went home.
Changshun's son was also having severe convulsions, and the whole family had to go to the hospital before they even got home.
The elderly woman was seriously injured and was taken into the operating room for craniotomy. Her family members were asked to sign the consent form and pay the fees.
Changshun has no money; he doesn't even have the money to treat his son's brain injury.
“Why should we pay for your mother’s medical treatment? Since your mother lives with Old Man Guan, he should be the one to pay for her treatment.” Changshun’s wife reacted quickly; their family didn’t have any money to pay for the old lady’s medical treatment.
Changshun hurriedly took the surgery consent form to the inpatient department to find Old Man Guan, but unfortunately he was too late; Old Man Guan had already been discharged.
He hurriedly called Old Man Guan, but Old Man Guan's phone was off. He also didn't have Li Mancang or Xiaoyu's phone numbers, so Changshun quickly took a taxi to Old Man Guan's house.
The house was locked tight; Old Man Guan hadn't come back at all.
