I wanted to say something, but I also knew that this was not the time to add fuel to the fire.
Grandpa seems to have something against my eldest cousin.
That's great.
With his cruel and ruthless character, my grandfather will definitely kick him out once he knows what he does after becoming the head of the family.
Mr. Shen snorted coldly and stopped talking. Mr. Lu quickly said, "Okay, you should rest for a while. You just woke up, so even if you are energetic, you can't overwork yourself."
Then he glanced at the delighted Shen Zheming and ordered bluntly, "Hurry up and have someone make some porridge. You don't need anything else."
Shen Zheming nodded happily and went out to find someone to cook porridge.
Mr. Lu arranged everything very quickly. Mr. Shen also felt very tired, so he followed Mr. Lu's arrangements. He thought he would not be able to sleep because he had already slept for a very long time. But unexpectedly, he fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.
Old Man Lu quickly asked Shen Hongxiu to go out. At this time, the Shen family members would come one after another, and the place would become lively again, so they must not disturb the old man.
Sure enough, not long after, Shen Hongxiu's second brother, third sister and youngest sister all hurried over.
His father had woken up, and his brothers and sisters were by his side. Although Shen Hongxiu was very happy, he was really too tired. After explaining everything, he took a car back home. He was also anxious to tell his wife that his father had woken up and asked her not to worry too much.
Because now, Afu's health is getting worse and worse, and she has aged a lot.
He always looks worried and like he has a lot on his mind.
After arriving home, Shen Hongxiu washed up and went quickly to the bedroom.
When he opened the door, he saw Luo Aofu sitting on the bed blankly, with a blank look in her eyes. He didn't know what she was thinking. Shen Hongxiu pulled himself together and walked a few steps to the bed. He sat beside her, took her hand, and said happily, "Afu, father is awake."
Luo Aofu came back to her senses, and finally a smile appeared on her worried face. "That's great, Hongxiu. You've been through a lot these days. Now that father has woken up, you'll be able to relax a lot."
"So you should get better soon, otherwise if I continue to take care of you, my old bones will have to bear the consequences." Shen Hongxiu was in a good mood and made a half-seriously funny joke.
Luo Aofu looked at her husband's face. He had aged a lot in recent days, but he was still handsome. For some reason, she didn't even dare to look at him. She lowered her head slightly and asked in a low voice, "Hong Xiu, did you find the old mountain ginseng?"
"Yes, it was a coincidence that this morning, someone said he had the roots of a century-old mountain ginseng. Old Lu happened to see it, and then I bought it. I didn't expect that after drinking half a bowl of the medicine, my father woke up. I didn't quite believe it before, but now I have to admit that sometimes this ancient recipe can really work miracles."
“That’s also my father’s luck.”
You have to know that after such a long time, no one has found a real old mountain ginseng that is more than a hundred years old.
So Mr. Shen is very blessed.
Shen Hongxiu was very happy. He didn't seem to notice Luo Aofu's depressed mood. He suddenly raised his eyebrows and said with a slightly amused voice, "Afu, the man who sold me the aged mountain ginseng today is about the same age as Zhehan, and looks a lot like me."
Luo Aofu was originally immersed in her own thoughts, but when she heard Shen Hongxiu's words, she suddenly raised her head and stared at Shen Hongxiu. Her face, which had already turned pale due to illness, was now even paler.
Her lips moved and her hands under the quilt clenched into fists.
Shen Hongxiu had said it jokingly, but he didn't expect Luo Aofu to react so strongly. He quickly stood up and waved his hands to explain, "Afu, don't let your imagination run wild. I, Shen Hongxiu, have lived a clean and honest life and have never done anything to let you down. Besides, I don't even know him, and he doesn't know me either. It was just by chance that he heard that there was a patient upstairs who needed old mountain ginseng, and he happened to have some, so he went to the ward and sold me the old mountain ginseng roots."
"I am clean and honest, and I have never done anything to let you down..."
Luo Aofu bit her lip for a long while before she said dryly, "I don't doubt you."
Shen Hongxiu breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at the bedside table and realized that the unfilial son had not visited his sick mother for several days.
He said in a bad tone, "Where's Zhehan?"
Luo Aofu's heart trembled and she frowned, "I don't know. I haven't seen him for many days."
"Hasn't his wife been here, too?"
"He came the day before yesterday, made me a bowl of porridge and then left."
Luo Aofu said in a calm tone.
Shen Hongxiu wanted to say something, but he held back and asked gently, "Afu, what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you now."
Luo Aofu couldn't help but shed tears.
Her best friends and sisters all envied her for being able to marry such a good man like Shen Hongxiu, who was true to her throughout his life and never had any other thoughts even though she could no longer have children.
But what about her? She was the one who felt the most sorry for him! Luo Aofu was filled with remorse, and even felt dizzy as if she were dead. If she died, would this secret be buried forever underground, and no one would know? Luo Aofu looked up, staring at her husband's face in a daze. Suddenly, her heart started beating, and she couldn't help but ask, "You said that person looks a lot like you, is that true?"
"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, you can ask Mr. Lu. He saw it too. I was shocked at the time. If he wasn't younger than me, I would have thought I saw myself." Shen Hongxiu's voice was filled with amusement and disbelief.
But I don't know why, I feel a little sad...
“Is it really that similar?”
Luo Aofu seemed to be talking to herself.
Shen Hongxiu hid his inexplicable thoughts, took a handkerchief, gently wiped the tears from his wife's face, and said with a smile, "Afu, it's nothing serious. There are many people in this world who look alike. Don't be sad. Father is well now. I will take care of you in the future. When you get better, we will go hiking together..."
Luo Aofu's tears flowed more and more.
Her heart could no longer remain calm and began to beat wildly. She could not hide it any longer. If she died before him, how could that evil son who already knew that they were not his biological parents be filial to Shen Hongxiu?
She could even imagine Shen Hongxiu's miserable old age.
It's her fault.
Because she was selfish and cowardly, she kept the secret from him all her life.
She can't keep it secret any longer!
