Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"What nonsense are you thinking? You're perfectly fine, aren't you?"

Li Xiulan looked speechless.

"I'm just worried. Look, Liang Yuanchao died of liver cancer, and Liu Xiaoli has liver cancer now too. I reckon she's not far from death. If I got liver cancer too, I'm afraid I'd..."

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey, what nonsense are you spouting? Nothing but unlucky words!" Li Xiulan hurriedly stopped him from continuing, "Don't let your imagination run wild. If you're really worried, go to the hospital for a checkup another day!"

Wang Zhanggen trembled, feeling some fear inside:

"Forget it. It's no use even if you get checked."

It was only now that he deeply understood the fear Liu Xiaoli felt when she was in the hospital.

Li Xiulan said instead:

"It's good to get checked, so you don't keep worrying. You'll worry yourself sick even if you're fine! I'll call Erhai tomorrow and have him take you to the hospital when he has time."

Early the next morning, after breakfast, once Zhou Hongwei and the others had gone to the construction site to start work,

Li Xiulan called Wang Erhai:

"Erhai, do you have time?"

"Mom, what is it? Just tell me. Even if I'm busy, I'll make time to help!"

Wang Erhai had few strengths, but his greatest strength was filial piety.

"It's nothing big. Your father wants to get a physical. See if you have time to take him to the hospital."

Wang Erhai readily agreed:

"No problem. I'll come back to Shanggou Village tomorrow morning to pick you up."

Wang Erhai also said:

"Mom, why don't you get a checkup too? It won't cost much anyway."

Li Xiulan said instead:

"No need. I'm healthy as can be! Just have your father get checked. Especially his liver—he used to have small three yang, and now he's worried all the time."

"Why is he suddenly worried? I never saw him worried before."

"A coworker of his also had small three yang. He got checked yesterday and turned out to have liver cancer, and it's already late-stage. So your father started worrying too."

"Is that so..."

Wang Erhai nodded.

Speaking of which, small three yang is contagious, especially through shared utensils, which increases the chance of transmission.

It was only now that Wang Erhai worried whether he had been infected.

When Wang Zhanggen had thyroid surgery and tested positive for small three yang before, he hadn't worried.

He felt it didn't matter whether he got hepatitis B or not.

But now it was different.

Liu Mei Qi was pregnant now.

He didn't want his child to be infected with hepatitis B the moment they were born.

So he thought, why not have him and Liu Mei Qi get checked together as well?

That afternoon after work, when he got home, Wang Erhai told Liu Mei Qi about this.

If he hadn't said it, it would've been fine, but once he did, Liu Mei Qi exploded immediately.

"What? Your father has small three yang? Why didn't you tell me sooner? Are you trying to kill me? If I'd known your father had small three yang, I wouldn't have eaten at your house, and I wouldn't have let your family come to my place for New Year's Eve dinner!"

Liu Mei Qi had gone back to Shanggou Village with Wang Erhai several times and eaten several meals with Wang Zhanggen.

Thinking about it now, she couldn't help but feel afraid.

She didn't want to be infected with the hepatitis B virus!

"Can you not get so worked up? Lots of people have this disease, and not everyone drops dead right away."

Wang Erhai said coldly.

He felt Liu Mei Qi's reaction was too much.

Liu Mei Qi said instead:

"You say it so lightly. If I'd known your family had hepatitis B, I wouldn't have married you!"

Wang Erhai was angered by her brainless words:

"Then you can divorce me now."

"You say it so easily. If we divorce, what about the child in my belly?" Liu Mei Qi got even angrier.

Wang Zhanggen had a completely indifferent look on his face:

"If you want it, I'll give it to you. If you don't want it, I'll take it. Either way is fine."

Liu Mei Qi knew Wang Erhai was speaking the honest truth, and the honest truth often hurts the most and is hardest to accept.

Wang Erhai's indifferent attitude was a thorn she could never pull out of her heart.

"Don't talk to me about all this nonsense. The problem now is, if your father infects us with hepatitis B, what do we do?"

Liu Mei Qi hurriedly changed the subject, because she didn't want a divorce.

Before, when she hadn't conceived, she didn't want to divorce.

Now that she had conceived, she wanted it even less.

"Let's go get a physical examination together tomorrow, and we'll talk once the results come out."

Wang Erhai said so.

Liu Mei Qi knew this was the only way to make amends, but she was still very angry:

"Why didn't you tell me earlier that your father has Hepatitis B!"

Liu Mei Qi felt deceived by Wang Erhai, so she was very angry.

"You didn't ask me either!" Wang Erhai spread his hands.

Actually, he himself hadn't paid attention to it, so naturally he hadn't thought to tell Liu Mei Qi about this matter.

He was indeed wrong about this; it was equivalent to concealing a premarital family medical history.

Liu Mei Qi was infuriated by his attitude, gnashing her teeth, but in the end she could do nothing, so she warned sternly:

"Don't let your parents come to my home for meals anymore, and don't expect me to go to your home for meals either—I don't want to catch Hepatitis B!"

Wang Erhai exhaled a long breath of turbid air, feeling his heart was very tired:

"Suit yourself."

Liu Mei Qi was originally emotionally unstable.

Now that she was pregnant, under the effect of pregnancy hormones, her emotions were even more unstable.

If not for consideration of the child in her belly, after Liu Mei Qi shouted at him like this, he would have laid hands on Liu Mei Qi long ago.

This stinking woman, she deserves a beating!

If he doesn't beat her for a day, she gets itchy!

She just knows how to act up in all sorts of ways!

Wang Erhai had made physical examination appointments in advance for his parents, as well as for himself and his wife.

Early the next morning, he returned to Shanggou Village, picked up his parents, and headed to County Town.

On the County Town side, he met up with Liu Mei Qi, and then they went to the Hospital together for the examination.

After several tubes of blood were drawn, all they needed to do next was wait for the physical examination results.

Before everyone had eaten breakfast, Wang Erhai suggested going to a nearby noodle shop for breakfast.

Li Xiulan and Wang Zhanggen had no objections.

Liu Mei Qi said instead:

"I don't want to eat; you all eat, I'm going back first."

After speaking, without waiting for Wang Erhai's response, she left directly.

Seeing this, Wang Erhai was very angry.

Because he knew Liu Mei Qi was looking down on his parents and didn't want to eat with them, afraid of being infected by them.

But Wang Erhai didn't flare up on the spot.

After all, his parents were right in front of him; he didn't want his parents to see a picture of discord.

So he could only endure it.

In the blink of an eye it was afternoon.

The examination report came out.

Among the four people, only Wang Zhanggen had Hepatitis B. However, his Hepatitis B had not yet progressed to illness, and all liver function indicators were still normal.

Strangely enough, it was normal that Wang Erhai and Liu Mei Qi hadn't been infected since they didn't often eat with Wang Zhanggen, but unexpectedly Li Xiulan, who ate with Wang Zhanggen almost every day, hadn't been infected either.

After learning she didn't have Hepatitis B, Liu Mei Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But she warned Wang Erhai again:

"Don't let me eat with your father anymore; if I get infected with Hepatitis B by your father, I won't let you off!"
