Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

In the blink of an eye, afternoon arrived. The anesthetic in Wang Changgen's body gradually wore off, and he began to feel pain — at first mild, but before long it turned into excruciating agony; every breath felt like his heart and lungs were being torn apart, to the point that he didn't even want to breathe anymore.

"Ah, it hurts, hurts so badly I can't take it."

Wang Changgen panted with difficulty, "What's going on here?"

He was in so much pain that cold sweat broke out all over his body, and his lips turned white.

Wang Dashan didn't know what was going on either.

Wang Xiaohua said:

"Now that the anesthetic has worn off, pain from the lung wound is normal. If you can't bear it, we can have the nurse give you a pain pump."

Wang Dashan said:

"I'll go call the nurse right now, get the pain pump started immediately. We're not short on that bit of money; we absolutely have to make Dad more comfortable!"

So he immediately went to call the nurse over.

The nurse soon brought the pain pump over and set it up for Wang Changgen.

The pain pump wasn't expensive either — several hundred yuan each, one lasts a day.

After the pain pump was set up, Wang Changgen's pain quickly subsided.

The nurse said, once he no longer feels pain, turn it off for a while; then when pain returns, turn the pain relief back on.

The drug in the pain pump contains morphine components; although it relieves pain, it has strong addictive properties, so use as little as possible.

If too much is used, withdrawal reactions might appear after surgery.

After Wang Changgen's pain disappeared, his mental state improved a lot.

By the time evening passed six o'clock, he was even able to drink some congee.

After finishing the congee, he said:

"Once I'm discharged, I must go find that white-eyed wolf Liang Xinghua and settle accounts!"

Wang Dashan said:

"Dad, don't you worry about these things. We'll keep this account in mind, and after a while we'll go help you settle accounts with him!"

Wang Changgen said again:

"Once I'm discharged, I also want to go see my grandson."

Wang Dashan said:

"If you want to see him, I can have my wife bring the child over for you to see anytime! No need to wait for discharge!"

Wang Changgen said:

"Then call Xiao Juan."

Wang Changgen very much wanted to see his precious grandson.

He needed to hear his precious grandson call him Grandpa with his own ears; that seemed to have become the only belief sustaining him.

Wang Xiaohua couldn't help but say:

"Dad, it's evening now. Why not have Eldest Sister-in-law bring the child over tomorrow instead?"

But Wang Dashan said:

"No need! I'll call her right now and have her bring the child over!"

Then he immediately turned around and went outside to call Du Xiaojuan.

"Hello, Dad's surgery is done. Bring the son over so the old man can have a look."

Du Xiaojuan's brows furrowed slightly:

"Was the surgery not successful?"

The meaning of her words was: is Wang Changgen about to die?

If he weren't about to die, she felt there was no need to bring the child to the hospital.

After all, the child is still small, with poor resistance.

Moreover, Wang Changgen isn't staying in an ordinary ward, but a ward where all kinds of lung disease patients are concentrated together!

There might be patients with various pulmonary infectious diseases, such as tuberculosis and the like.

The child is so small and hasn't received the relevant vaccines; bringing him over carries a risk of infection.

But Wang Dashan couldn't hear the implication in Du Xiaojuan's words, and only answered honestly:

"The surgery went very well. The doctor said, as long as he gets through the first three days post-op, it'll be safe after that."

Du Xiaojuan said:

"Then we're not in a rush for this moment. Wait until your dad is discharged, then bring him over here to see the child."

Wang Dashan became unhappy:

"Dad wants to see him right now. What's wrong with you bringing the child over for a bit? It's not like a piece of meat will fall off!"

Du Xiaojuan said:

"Is this about whether a piece of meat falls off or not? Right now the child drinks milk at a fixed 6:30 every night and falls asleep around 7:30. If we go over at this time, what about his milk? What about his sleep? The habit we finally managed to cultivate — are we just going to disrupt it? Besides, there are so many patients in the hospital; what if the child catches some disease?"

"Disrupt it then; we can just cultivate the habit again afterward! If he gets infected, take him to the hospital for a look! The child isn't as fragile as you imagine! Look, just bring him over for my dad to see. Why so many words? If you dislike my dad, just say it straight!"

Wang Dashan grew more and more agitated, more and more annoyed as he spoke.

Du Xiaojuan also grew increasingly annoyed:

"Wang Dashan, what kind of attitude is this? He's your son!"

Wang Dashan, however, said:

"But the one here in the hospital is my biological father! You stop with all that nonsense and just say it straight — are you bringing the child over or not? If you're not bringing him, I'll drive back right now and bring the child over myself!"

Du Xiaojuan was furious.

But she still forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart.

Because she knew, Wang Dashan really would do something like this.

The place she lived now was in Tianhe District, while the hospital where Wang Zhanggen was hospitalized for surgery was in Liwan District, with a drive of over forty minutes between them.

Wang Dashan running back, taking the child over, and sending him back again would obviously involve much more hassle than her sending the child over, letting Wang Zhanggen see him, and quickly bringing him back, and it would be even more unfavorable for the child!

So she forcibly endured it, making herself yield.

"Don't come over, I'll bring the child over right now!"

Then, carrying a whole body of anger, she packed up, brought the child, brought Kang Yi, put on a mask, and drove toward the hospital.

Arriving at the hospital, although Du Xiaojuan was wearing a mask, her iron-black complexion was plainly visible.

But Wang Dashan didn't see it.

He just came over, took the child into his arms, and showed him to Wang Zhanggen.

Wang Zhanggen looked a few times, teased the child with a laugh, and then couldn't help but cough violently.

The child was scared into wailing loudly.

Du Xiaojuan hurriedly said:

"Give the child back to me, I have to take him back to sleep."

Wang Dashan, however, said:

"It's still very early, no need to be in such a rush, wait a bit before leaving."

The child wailed loudly in his arms, and he didn't think anything of it.

Actually, he was just picking a fight with Du Xiaojuan, manipulating her in such a low-level and foolish way.

Du Xiaojuan clenched her fists, glaring fiercely at Wang Dashan, not saying a word.

She had already achieved extreme restraint.

Because she knew, if she quarreled with Wang Dashan now, and Wang Zhanggen happened to die in a few days, Wang Dashan would absolutely blame Wang Zhanggen's death on her!

She absolutely could not let Wang Dashan seize this handle!

But extreme restraint is often accompanied by extreme disappointment, extreme disgust, even extreme anger.

"Big Brother, just give the child back to Eldest Sister-in-law, the child crying nonstop isn't good, it'll disturb Father's rest."

Wang Erhai spoke this sentence at this time.

Only then did Wang Dashan give the child back to Du Xiaojuan.

Du Xiaojuan took the child and said coldly:

"I'm taking the child back to sleep."

Finishing these words, without waiting for Wang Dashan to agree, she turned around and left.

Seeing Du Xiaojuan like this, Wang Dashan felt very unhappy inside, feeling that Du Xiaojuan didn't give him a shred of face in front of his family!

He could only smile dryly and explain to Father, Mother, and his two younger brothers:

"This woman just has this dead temperament, not a bit of manners, don't mind her, I'll teach her a lesson when we get back!"
