Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

One must admit, Wang Zhanggen's intuition is still quite sharp; he could even sense something was off from this.

Seeing him like this, Li Xiulan coldly retorted:

"Even if there is a serious illness, what can you do about it?"

Wang Zhanggen was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer for a while.

Yeah, if there really is a serious illness, what can you do?

There are too many diseases in this world that cannot be cured, especially cancer.

"Then better not ask?"

Wang Zhanggen got a bit scared.

If he got cancer, he'd rather not know!

Additionally, the image of Liu Xiaoli involuntarily floated up in his mind.

During the last stretch of Liu Xiaoli's life, she was tortured by liver cancer until she was unrecognizable, suffering immensely.

He didn't want to experience that kind of pain like Liu Xiaoli.

If he really got cancer, just drinking Rotal and dying would be the end of it!

But then he thought, his precious grandson was just born, he hadn't even heard his precious grandson call him Grandpa once; if he just left like this, he would be unwilling!

The contradictions in his heart fluctuated up and down.

When it comes down to it, it's still caused by fear.

"Better ask then, saves you from having nothing to do all day and just indulging in wild thoughts!"

Li Xiulan took out her mobile phone and gave Wang Erhai a call.

"Hello, Erhai, are the physical examination results out?"

Li Xiulan asked.

"Mom, the physical examination reports are all out, your various indicators are all very good!"

At this time, Wang Erhai was at the hospital's vaccination department, getting the hepatitis B vaccine.

The hepatitis B vaccine requires three shots in total; after this shot, another one next month, and then one six months later.

"What about your dad's? How is he?"

Li Xiulan asked.

Wang Erhai's expression flickered slightly, but he tried his best to keep his tone calm:

"Overall it's also very good, just blood pressure and blood lipids are a bit high, told him to watch his diet, don't eat too much oily food."

Li Xiulan asked again:

"No other problems?"

Wang Erhai hurriedly said:

"No other problems."

Li Xiulan then said:

"When your dad was getting the B-ultrasound, the doctor went out and said a few words to you, and he thought something major was up; ever since he came back he's been indulging in wild thoughts!"

Wang Erhai gave a bitter laugh:

"Don't let him think too much, eat well, drink well, sleep well, living healthily to a hundred years old is no problem!"

"Alright, alright, hearing you say that, I'm reassured."

Li Xiulan hung up the phone, turned back to Wang Zhanggen and said:

"Erhai said your physical examination report has no issues, just high blood pressure, told you not to eat too much oily food!"

"No other problems?" Wang Zhanggen asked doubtfully.

"He said there aren't any!" Li Xiulan said impatiently: "What are you blindly worrying about? Being so suspicious, even if there's no problem, you'll create one!"

Wang Zhanggen let out a breath of relief, but then was puzzled again:

"Then what did the doctor mean by going out halfway through my B-ultrasound to talk to Wang Erhai?"

Li Xiulan didn't know whether to cry or laugh:

"Look at you, you're just too idle; later come with me to the farm to work!"

But Wang Zhanggen walked away with his hands behind his back:

"I'll go outside for a stroll, go to the farm in a bit."

This "in a bit" of his very obviously meant he wasn't going.

Li Xiulan knew his dead-set temperament, but didn't say anything about it either.

Counting on him to work, you might as well count on a sow climbing a tree!

Li Xiulan went to the farm by herself.

Yao Aina had arrived earlier than her, currently at the farm feeding vegetables to a large group of free-range chickens.

Yao Aina's grandson, Zhang Jiajun, was running around everywhere at the farm, laughing happily; children are just this simple, they don't feel it's hardship following Grandma here, but instead feel happy being by Grandma's side.

Li Xiulan asked with concern:

"Auntie Aina, is your son doing alright?"

Yao Aina chuckled:

"What's there to be good or bad about? Anyway, days just pass one by one."

Li Xiulan said:

"If you feel uneasy leaving him at home, why not bring him over to the farm? There's a shed there, just put him in the shed and that'll do."

Yao Aina, however, said:

"There are mosquitoes everywhere here, and there isn't even a TV. Better to leave him at home; at least there's a TV to watch."

And at this time, on the other side.

Wang Erhai had finished his vaccine shot, and today he had nothing to do.

So he planned to make a trip back to his hometown.

On one hand, to go see how Liang Xinghua was managing the New Era Restaurant.

On the other hand, those two hundred-plus acres of high-standard farmland he had contracted, it was also about time to plow and plant.

The rice seedlings, he had long ago had Li Xiulan help plant them properly. Two hundred-plus acres of land, even the seed money cost quite a bit.

But fortunately Wang Erhai didn't care about these things.

Now the New Era Restaurant had already been transferred to Liang Xinghua. If these two hundred-plus acres of land didn't yield a good harvest this year, then next year he definitely wouldn't plant anymore.

He wanted to support his hometown's agriculture, but he also couldn't do a losing business and be the unfair burden!

Wang Erhai drove back to town, heading straight for the New Era Restaurant!

As a result, when he arrived inside the restaurant, he was met with an unexpected scene.

Only to see the restaurant was cold and deserted.

The waiters hired before were all gone.

Such a huge restaurant, looking inside, there were only Liang Xinghua and Lan Menglian, as well as their daughter Liang Ailan.

"Xiong Hua Shu! Aunt Meng Lian!"

Wang Erhai gave a greeting.

"Erhai, you're here, come sit quick!"

Liang Xinghua was just smoking a cigarette with a worried frown. Seeing Wang Erhai arrive, he immediately stood up and welcomed him with a smile.

Wang Erhai saw the situation seemed a bit off, so he casually asked:

"Where are the restaurant's waiters?"

Liang Xinghua gave a dry laugh:

"My wife and I thought, save a bit on expenses, so we dismissed all the waiters. My wife can be the waiter; anyway business isn't very busy."

Hearing this, Wang Erhai was immediately greatly shocked:

"No, Xiong Hua Shu, such an important matter, why didn't you discuss it with me?"

Lan Menglian walked over and said faintly:

"It's just dismissing a few waiters, what's the big deal? I can clean up the restaurant spotlessly myself!"

Wang Erhai didn't know whether to cry or laugh:

"Aunt Meng Lian, this isn't a question of whether you can clean it clean. Those waiters, many are relatives of town government leaders. Keeping them, town government people would more or less come patronize the restaurant's business! This restaurant mainly does town government business!"

Wang Erhai's face was full of helplessness, he sighed.

Such an important matter, Liang Xinghua didn't discuss with him, just patted his head and made the decision.

Isn't this equivalent to laying off staff right down to the main artery?

Before, Wang Erhai had repeatedly instructed Liang Xinghua several times: the restaurant's personnel didn't need to change, just occasionally come back to check, and it could basically maintain break-even.

It's just a pity Liang Xinghua simply didn't listen.

He heard Lan Menglian say business wasn't good, save the waiters' wages and profits would increase. He also thought it made quite a bit of sense, so he patted his forehead and made this decision.

Hearing Wang Erhai say it like this, Liang Xinghua only then suddenly realized.

At the same time, he was somewhat dumbfounded:

"I was saying, how come business is getting colder and colder!"

Then hurriedly asked:

"Erhai, you say what can be done about this?"
