Ruan Shengpeng dialed the phone in the old man's study, but it rang for a long time without anyone answering, which made Ruan Shengpeng even more uneasy.
According to his father's habit, this time should be for him to read after dinner. Although the old man has retired, he still reads the newspaper.
He made a final call to Brother Ruan: "Brother, when did you visit the old man?"
Brother Ruan asked curiously, "I went to see the old man the day after he moved in, and I just visited him last month. He even asked me why I was going so often. What's wrong?"
"Brother, are you free right now? You'd better go check on him. I have a feeling something's happened to the old man!"
"What could possibly happen? Uncle Hai is with us!"
"Go and take a look now, I'm far away!"
"You'd be stupid to run so far away to take over a military region. Beijing is our base of operations!"
"Stop talking nonsense, go and see!"
Brother Ruan sighed helplessly, "Alright, I won't say anything more to you. From childhood to adulthood, you've always had the biggest ideas and insisted on making all the decisions yourself! I'll go right away!"
Ruan Shengpeng hung up the phone, still feeling a bit uneasy. He was raised by the old man, and their relationship was just different. Of course, he didn't want anything to happen to the old man.
But his hopes were dashed when Brother Ruan called from the old man's study: "The old man is unconscious!"
Ruan Shengpeng's heart sank to the bottom: "Where's Uncle Hai? Why didn't they notify us when the old man had an accident?"
"Mom said Uncle Hai resigned!"
"I don't believe it. Uncle Hai must have had an accident too. You should ask the old lady what happened. Give her a serious talking-to. Was Ruan Tian there too?"
How do you know Ruan Tian is still here?
"This must have been orchestrated by Ruan Tian. Ruan Tian was definitely behind Dad and Uncle Hai's affair!"
"No way, that's Dad! He used to dote on her so much! Besides, what could a teenage girl like her possibly do?"
"Brother, don't underestimate her. She hired someone to kill my daughter. She's ruthless! Besides, Dad sent her to Shengzhi's place, so she's definitely holding a grudge!"
"Send an interrogator over to interrogate her. Be quick, or Uncle Hai will definitely be in danger!"
"Fourth brother, aren't you exaggerating? Isn't there some misunderstanding?"
"Brother, believe me, there's definitely no misunderstanding. You know, when I was hospitalized before, I even found someone who knew the whereabouts of my wife and child."
"As it turns out, Ruan Tian somehow found out and caused the person to lose their memory, and even stole the letter!"
Now Brother Ruan hesitated. He still believed that the fourth brother was not a person who would talk nonsense. As he was thinking, he suddenly saw a shadow flash by.
Judging from her figure, it should be Ruan Tian. His heart skipped a beat. Could Ruan Tian really be a vicious person?
Just as he was about to make a call to summon someone, Old Mrs. Ruan said gruffly, "Did you come here just to make a phone call? If you have nothing else to do, leave! Don't get in the way!"
When Brother Ruan saw that his mother was about to send him away, his heart skipped a beat: "Mom, Dad can't go on like this. I'll take him to the hospital for a checkup!"
"No!" Old Mrs. Ruan's voice was sharp and shrill, somewhat distorted!
Brother Ruan's heart sank. It seemed that Old Madam Ruan must know about Old Man Ruan's condition, otherwise she wouldn't be so reluctant to take him to the hospital for treatment.
"You said Dad has been in a coma for several days. This can't go on. I'll take him to get checked out!"
“I said no, and that means no. Why can’t you come once a month or so like before? It hasn’t even been a month since you last came to see us!”
"Dad's in this state, do you think I need to check the time before I can come to see you? I'm taking him away today!"
"If you insist on taking this person away, you'll have to step over my dead body!"
"Mom, tell me honestly, what's wrong with Dad? Why won't you take him to get checked out? Or is it your fault that Dad is like this?"
"How could I possibly harm your father? How dare you, you unfilial son, speak such nonsense! I would have been better off giving birth to a piece of barbecued pork than to you two! All you do is doubt me!"
Now Brother Ruan believed Ruan Shengpeng's words; there was something going on between the old lady and Ruan Tian. He stood up to go check on the old man, but Old Lady Ruan shooed him away: "You'd better leave!"
"Dad's already like this, why are you kicking me out? I'll stay here tonight!"
"You're not allowed to stay here! You're not allowed to stay here! Get out of here! Get out of here! I have Tian Tian to keep me company!"
"How long has Sweetie been staying here?"
"Sweetie can stay here to take care of the old man, as long as she wants!"
"Isn't Tian Tian staying with her mother? Let her go back, I'll take care of her!"
"Just leave when I tell you to! Stop talking nonsense! Get out of here!"
"Mom, I'm Dad's son, isn't it good for me to take care of him? Besides, can Tian Tian even wipe Grandpa's body? It's not as convenient as me!"
"Sweetie isn't available, but I am. I have her with me, so you can go!"
The more eager Old Lady Ruan became, the more reluctant Brother Ruan was to leave. He even called to ask for two days off and sent someone to tell his wife and children that he would stay at Old Lady Ruan's place.
Now Old Mrs. Ruan panicked: "You unfilial son, why are you going against me? I should have just drowned you back then, now you're just causing me trouble!"
"Mom, this is strange. I came to take care of Dad, and it's caused trouble? I've already called the doctor to see why Dad fell into a coma!"
"Who gave you permission to call a doctor?"
"Mom, this is so strange. Dad is unconscious, and you won't even call a doctor. Why is that?"
"Your dad is just unconscious. I'm feeding him on time. He's fine, don't see a doctor!"
"He's fine now. Even a healthy person like Mom can get sick from lying in bed all the time, let alone someone who's completely unconscious right now!"
"It's okay, Sweetie said it's just to let the old man get some sleep!"
"What do you mean? Did that brat feed Dad something?"
"Who are you calling a brat? She's so pitiful. When I was home, I never let her do any work. But that brat Shengzhi dared to make her do all the housework!"
"You didn't see how pitiful she looked. She worked so hard and ate so little. She looked so haggard. It broke my heart!"
"So you made my dad bedridden just so she could stay here in the nursing home? You kicked Uncle Hai out just to make room for her?"
Grandma Ruan felt a little uncomfortable when her thoughts were exposed, and turned her head away. But halfway through, she felt that as an elder, why should she back down? "That's what I think, so what? If the old man doesn't get sick, how will Tian Tian stay here?"
"Aren't you afraid that if my dad has another accident, none of you will be able to live here anymore!"
"It's just sleeping pills, what's there to be afraid of?"
"What? You gave my dad sleeping pills?"
