"Yeah." Li He still hadn't gotten over Mu Yan's death. He took a sip of wine and picked up a peanut. "It's too sudden. Humans are too fragile."
"From what you said, his Old Madam is really amazing. Since ancient times, there have been three major misfortunes in life: losing one's father when one is young, losing one's spouse when one is middle-aged, and losing one's son when one is old. She had two of them." Liu Hai sighed. "It's not easy for this Old Madam to get through it."
Li He said, "Yeah, it's not easy for anyone to have one of them. The blow and pain she has to bear are huge. It's not easy for Old Madam. She's not an ordinary person. "
The Old Madam had been labeled as a 'widow' when she was in her thirties. Working in the countryside required physical labor. Plowing, harrowing, harvesting, all of which required heavy physical labor.
Without a man at home, one could imagine how much hardship she had to put in. Moreover, she had to take care of a child and send him to junior high school and high school.
This was completely different from his family. Although Li Zhaokun didn't do any proper work and Wang Yulan was busy, having a man at home was different from not having a man at home. Li Zhaokun was good at coaxing people.
To Wang Yulan, in terms of divorce, it was impossible for her to get a divorce. It was impossible for her to get a divorce in this lifetime.
She was mentally comforted, and on the surface, she had a complete family.
Liu Hai said, "Every family has its own difficulties. My old man is similar to your old man. It's all because of my mother."
Li He shook his head. "Your old man can take hardships. He's such a hardworking person. How can he be similar to my old man?"
Liu Hai smiled. "I've been working hard all my life. When I was young, I was restless and wanted to do something big. When I was in university, I started to learn how to do business and ended up with a huge debt. These two years, I've just paid off my debt, and now I'm borrowing money from everywhere to buy shoes. Tell me, if this isn't poverty, then what is?"
"He's refusing to accept his old age." Li He's depressed mood was instantly lifted.
Liu Hai said, "Look, I only have this little salary a month. My wife, children, and a big family are all under my care. Do you think my dad will help me or not? I'm so worried. And that brother of mine, he's so disappointing. He actually dares to go out and extort people just because of my little ability. Day after day, I'm really tired of living."
"Isn't there a saying? When a man achieves the Dao, his chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven," Li He teased. "Don't you guys have any benefits?"
Liu Hai's eyes narrowed. "Are you scolding me? Am I that kind of person? Although I don't have much future prospects, I'm not the kind of person who blinds at the sight of money. Say, isn't a person's life just a bed, a matter of eating, drinking, and sleeping?
Yes, I'm worried about money, but I'm not greedy. I just hope that my father's family can live in peace, and then my wife and children can live a good life. "
"Then we'll take it slow." Li He did not take his complaints seriously. No matter what, it was still a two-income family with a certain status. No matter how bad it was, it couldn't be that bad.
"I'm quite envious of you, kid." Liu Hai smiled and said, "You've quietly gone into the sea, quietly made a fortune, and kept us old classmates in the dark."
Li He clinked glasses with him and said, "Why don't you go into the sea too?"
Liu Hai waved his hand. "I'm almost forty years old. How can I still have that kind of energy? If I continue to do this, I'll be no different from my father."
Li He laughed loudly. "Don't go back tonight. Stay at the hotel and chat with me for the night?"
"No, no." Liu Hai shook his head like a rattle drum. "It's already late enough. Your sister-in-law might be muttering about it. If you don't come back at night, you'll definitely not have a good ending. Men, when they get married, everything is over. They can't find themselves anymore. They have to wholeheartedly be a slave to the family, and they can't make any mistakes."
After drinking, Li He said a few words to Liu Hai's driver and said goodbye to him.
When he returned to the hotel, he felt uncomfortable all over. He retched for a while, but nothing came out. Qi Hua saw this and gave Li He some glucose to drink. Only then did he manage to fall asleep. When he got up the next day to catch the plane, he was still groggy.
The winter snow was merciless.
As soon as he got off the plane, the cold wind poured into his neck. Li He felt cold to the bones. When he got home, his whole body was shaking and he couldn't help but shiver.
In the middle of the night, He Fang touched his forehead. It was frighteningly hot. She wanted to send him to the hospital, but he refused and only took a fever medicine.
In the morning, when he woke up, it was already ten o 'clock. His waist hurt, his shoulders hurt, and everywhere else hurt.
"Why is it still hot?" He Fang touched his forehead again and was shocked. Without hesitation, she dragged Li He to the hospital.
The hospital's outpatient hall and the registration office on the second floor were crowded. There was a 20-meter long queue at more than ten windows, all the way to the entrance of the hall. Everyone was waiting for the line to move forward bit by bit.
After Dong Hao queued for half an hour at the end of the line, he was told by the person in front of him, "I queued last night. Today, I registered for tomorrow's number, so I can only come tomorrow."
When people from all over the country encountered some difficult diseases or serious diseases, they all wanted to come to the hospitals in big cities to see a doctor, so it was crowded.
"Why don't we go back?" Li He didn't want to be entangled here, and he didn't want to use his connections to cut in line.
"Wait." He Fang gritted her teeth. She still went to find someone and used her connections.
Just like that, Li He was able to enter the specialist's clinic, draw blood, and do a CT scan.
Two hours later, the test results came out. Lung effusion, pneumonia.
Just like that, Li Lao Er was hospitalized.
"Don't tell anyone." Li He said to He Fang, "I'll just hide here for two days."
He was afraid that what was originally a small matter would be made known to everyone, and he wouldn't be able to have peace.
"Okay." He Fang put a towel on his arm and said with a smile, "Just rest well. Don't tell anyone. I don't want to be annoyed."
Li He continued, "Don't bring the child here. Although pneumonia is not contagious, the hospital is not clean. It's better to be safe than sorry."
"You don't need to say that." He Fang stuffed a piece of orange into his mouth, "You should take this opportunity to rest well. Maybe you're too tired at this stage, so don't worry about unnecessary things."
She could feel that Mu Yan's death was a big blow to her man.
"There's nothing for me to worry about." Li He suddenly asked, "What happened to He Juan? Why was she at our house yesterday?"
He Fang sighed, "How dare a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl have a boyfriend. Her father was so angry that he scolded her and wanted to run away from home. I dragged her here to stay for a few days."
"He Long can't control her?" Unknowingly, Li He found that the children were all grown up.
