Protagonist:
Li Xiulan
Huo Guoqiang couldn't target Wu Moli for the time being, because Zhang Sheng backed Wu Moli; to target Wu Moli, he could only wait until the Company had established a foothold in the City and its focus had completely shifted there.
So for now, he could only go after Wang Erhai.
Of course, he didn't want to destroy Wang Erhai completely, but to find a method to control Wang Erhai.
At least prevent Wang Erhai and Wu Moli from forming a united front.
A three-way split was still better than Wang Erhai and Wu Moli standing together.
Huo Guoqiang was currently conspiring with his Nephew Huo Zhihui to make trouble for Wang Erhai.
But Wang Erhai at this time was still completely unaware.
He felt things were improving, that everything would soon be past.
As for the Song and Dance Troupe's temptation, he seemed to have already gotten past that hurdle.
Niu Chunsheng was so right — this is a heart demon!
Once the heart passes that hurdle, that temptation is actually just that!
This day Wang Erhai was in the Company processing Documents when his Mobile Phone rang.
He took it out to look — it was surprisingly his mother Li Xiulan calling.
"Hello, Mom, what's up?"
Li Xiulan's voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Erhai, your dad's leg should be seven or eight parts healed by now — isn't it time to go get the steel pins removed?"
Wang Zhanggen's broken leg had steel pins inserted, so when it was mostly healed, not only did the plaster cast need cutting off, the steel pins also had to be taken out.
Wang Erhai had been busy with work matters this period and had actually forgotten this matter.
"Mom, how about this — tomorrow is Saturday, you bring him down, then Yueran and I will take him to the Hospital; Yueran knows that Orthopedics Department Doctor, with her there it'll be easier to talk!"
Li Xiulan said:
"Okay, then I'll bring him down tomorrow!"
Li Xiulan hung up the phone and told Wang Zhanggen they were going to the County Town for a re-examination tomorrow.
But Wang Zhanggen had a black face:
"Wang Erhai isn't driving back to pick us up?"
Li Xiulan said:
"We can just take the bus down ourselves, why would we need him to come up and get us!"
Wang Zhanggen didn't think so!
"I see he just doesn't want to come get me, finds me annoying, afraid I'll spend his money!"
Wang Zhanggen was huffing with anger; his words had no basis, yet he spoke with righteous confidence.
Li Xiulan was rendered speechless by him:
"What kind of talk is that — your broken leg's treatment costs were all paid by Erhai!"
But Wang Zhanggen said:
"How is it all paid by him? I used Rural Cooperative Medical Care to reimburse a part, okay!"
Li Xiulan couldn't be bothered to argue with him and said:
"Anyway tomorrow we'll take the bus ourselves, you stop with so much nonsense!"
"Don't you know my leg still isn't fully healed?"
"When you initially went to Guangzhou to see your Grandson, your leg was even less healed — how come you went prancing off then?"
Li Xiulan issued a soul-searching question.
But Wang Zhanggen said:
"How can that be the same?"
Li Xiulan really didn't want to speak to Wang Zhanggen anymore:
"Anyway I'm taking the bus tomorrow — you go if you want, don't if you don't!"
Finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the Living Room to go busy herself with her matters.
As for Wang Zhanggen, who knows what's gotten into him — recently his temper has truly become worse and worse.
So bad that even Li Xiulan finds it a bit hard to tolerate!
You must know Li Xiulan's endurance is extremely strong!
This lifetime so much suffering, so many hardships, she endured them all — yet now she can't quite endure Wang Zhanggen; this shows just how unreasonable Wang Zhanggen's temper has become!
However, no matter how stinking Wang Zhanggen's temper, he can only grumble verbally — fundamentally he can't do anything to Li Xiulan.
After all his body is one day worse than the last.
Recently he keeps coughing — don't know what's going on.
His complexion also seems much darker than before.
And the medicines he should take — for example, medicines controlling blood lipids to prevent Cerebral Infarction, for example Euthyrox controlling thyroid Hormone — he's been taking them all consistently.
Li Xiulan thought maybe Wang Zhanggen took too many of these medicines, produced side effects, and that's why his temper gets worse and worse.
But there's no choice — these medicines can't be stopped; stop them and his body will have trouble.
In a blink it was the next day; Li Xiulan rose early, finished the housework at Home, then ran to Yao Aina's Home and told Yao Aina she was going to the County Town today, so the Farm side today had to be worked by her alone.
Yao Aina was smiling broadly, and she had no objections to this.
There wasn't any work to do at the farm right now, just feeding the chickens, that's all.
When Li Xiulan was about to leave, she suddenly asked Li Xiulan:
"Xiulan, your Erhai contracted quite a lot of high-standard farmland, didn't he? When does planting start? If manual labor is needed, have him call me, I'm best at transplanting rice seedlings!"
Yao Aina's face wore a simple, honest smile.
Li Xiulan replied politely:
"When it's time to plant, I'll definitely let you know!"
Just then, a child came running over with quick little steps, calling "Grandmother, Grandmother."
That was Yao Aina's grandson, Zhang Jiajun.
"Jiajun, what's wrong?"
Yao Aina picked up her grandson.
Zhang Jiajun said in a bewildered way:
"Dad said he doesn't want to live anymore again, you go check on Dad!"
Zhang Jiajun's father, Zhang Zhiqiang, who was also Yao Aina and Zhang Zhongtian's only child, had stayed shut in at home ever since the car accident left him disabled, rarely going out to interact with people.
Everyone had nearly forgotten what he looked like.
"Alright, alright, I'll go check on him right now!"
Yao Aina turned back to Li Xiulan and said:
"Xiulan, you head back first, I'll go to the farm to work in a bit, I guarantee I won't let those chickens at the farm go hungry!"
Li Xiulan nodded:
"Fine, then I'm leaving!"
Li Xiulan walked out of the Zhang family compound.
From behind came the sound of Yao Aina weeping:
"My ancestor, can't you settle down? I have to take care of the child, do the work, and look after you all by myself, I'm this old already, I can't withstand this torment! Just spare me!"
Then came Zhang Zhiqiang's voice:
"Give me a bottle of pesticide, I'll drink pesticide and die, what's the point of living this life!... Dad, I'm sorry... Xiao He, I'm sorry... *sob sob sob*..."
Li Xiulan couldn't help but let out a sigh.
While sympathizing with the Wang family in her heart, she also found no small amount of consolation.
At least compared to Yao Aina's ordeal, her having to endure Wang Changgen's rotten temper every day really didn't count as anything major!
At least Wang Changgen could still take care of himself, she didn't have to wipe his shit and piss for him.
Li Xiulan returned home, packed up their things, and then took Wang Changgen with her to go catch the bus.
Wang Changgen still wore a sour face, muttering non-stop as they left the village entrance.
There were quite a few villagers waiting for the bus at the village entrance, and only then did Wang Changgen shut his mouth.
After all, he himself knew clearly that arguing with Li Xiulan in front of outsiders was a very shameful thing.
They got on the bus, arrived at the county town, and got off at the County People's Hospital stop.
Wang Changgen started muttering again:
"When I see Wang Erhai in a bit, I'm going to ask him why he wasn't willing to come pick me up, this bastard, does he still treat me as his birth father or not!"
