Chapter 69

"However, such matters still depend on your brother's personal wishes." Qin Chuan didn't know how to say it.

"I'm just worried that my brother is too soft-hearted and might fall for that woman again. The last time he was almost killed because of her. If it happens again, who knows what will happen." Yao Hong said with concern.

"Actually, given your brother's current situation, what could Hu Yemei possibly have in mind? If she were truly cold-hearted towards your brother, why would she come to see him now? Think about it. Perhaps this could be a good thing for your brother. Don't you think so?" Qin Chuan knew that Yao Hong had a tendency to get stuck in a rut.

Yao Hong thought about it and realized that it was indeed true. In the past, when her brother Yao Sihai was strong and could work and earn money, it made sense for Hu Yemei to have some intentions. But now, logically, Hu Yemei should avoid him, so why would she come over?

Qin Chuan didn't want to interfere in other people's private affairs, so after checking on Yao Sihai, he left.

As soon as Qin Chuan left, Hu Yemei came over again, carrying two bags, which seemed to contain food. She went to Zhang Guishan's bed first.

"Guishan, how are you feeling today? I specially made the food you like. Eat more, and you'll recover faster." Hu Yemei opened one of the bags and took out the food.

"Mom, why did you make all this? You could have just bought something outside." Zhang Guishan glanced at the food.

"What nutrition does that food have? The food outside isn't hygienic. Now that you're injured, you need to eat well to recover faster." Hu Yemei said.

"What's in the other bag?" Zhang Guishan asked.

"Finish your meal. Don't worry about other things." Hu Yemei's face turned serious.

"Mom, about Uncle Yao, I think you should listen to my brother. Uncle Yao did help us in the past, but he's not our biological father. You're not married to him. His condition will affect my brother's image." Zhang Guishan said.

"Affect what image? Is being ungrateful not affecting the image?" Hu Yemei said unhappily.

"What do you plan to do?" Zhang Guishan, who had always been afraid of Hu Yemei, didn't dare to say more after being scolded.

"I plan to move back to our hometown. Now that Uncle Yao is in this state, it's all because of the three of us. Out of duty and conscience, I should take care of him. A person's heart is made of flesh. Doing something that hurts one's conscience will make people point fingers." Hu Yemei got up and walked out with the other bag.

"Mom, where are you going?" Zhang Guishan asked quickly.

"Finish your meal." Hu Yemei ignored Zhang Guishan and continued walking out the door.

This time, when Hu Yemei came, although Yao Hong didn't give her a good face, she didn't stop her as before. It seemed that Qin Chuan's words had some effect. But Yao Hong still felt awkward.

"Brother, I'll go buy you some food." Yao Hong said to Yao Sihai.

"Yao Hong, don't go. I brought food for your brother. Come and eat too; I brought some for you as well." Hu Yemei said quickly.

"I don't need your kindness." Yao Hong still walked out.

Hu Yemei sat down by Yao Sihai's bed, and they looked at each other, tears streaming down their faces.

"Sihai, I'm sorry to you." Hu Yemei cried on Yao Sihai's bed.

"Yemei, I don't blame you. I really don't blame you. Don't be sad." Yao Sihai, seeing Hu Yemei cry so much, was at a loss.

"That day, when I came to bring you food, I fell and broke my leg. Later, I asked Guiping and Guishan to bring you food. After a while, they said you had already been discharged and gone home. It took several months for my leg to get a little better, but I couldn't walk far. Guiping always said that after you got better, you went to Xingsha to work. I couldn't contact you, and I didn't know you were staying here all this time. I didn't know that Guiping had been hiding it from me. I didn't know you had suffered so much here. It seems that even heaven couldn't bear it, so Guishan was injured and sent to the central hospital. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known you were suffering here." Hu Yemei finally revealed the real reason.

Yao Sihai's hand trembled as he reached out from under the blanket. Hu Yemei quickly held his hand with both of hers.

"From now on, we won't be separated. After you get better, we'll go back to our hometown. The old house there, which you built brick by brick, will make me feel at ease." Hu Yemei said.

"I want to go back to Youzidong." Yao Sihai said.

"If you want to go back to Youzidong, we'll go together. We'll fix up your house and plant some land. We shouldn't worry about food and drink." Hu Yemei planned.

Yao Sihai smiled and nodded, "When I get better, I can still do some short-term work outside."

"Don't go out to work. Our home is so close to the city. Planting vegetables and selling them in the city is better than working. I'm good at growing vegetables." Hu Yemei said.

The two of them got more and more excited, and Yao Sihai's illness seemed to be completely cured.

Yao Hong didn't go far and was listening outside the door. She didn't expect Hu Yemei to have such a complicated past. She could only blame Hu Yemei's ungrateful sons. Yao Hong also knew she couldn't stop Yao Sihai from being with Hu Yemei. In her heart, she also wanted her brother to have a good future.

Zhang Guiping rushed to the hospital and ran into the emergency ward. Yao Hong didn't have time to stop him and was pushed aside by Zhang Guiping.

Yao Hong, who was already old, and Zhang Guiping, who was in his prime, fell to the ground immediately when pushed.

"Ouch!" Yao Hong let out a painful cry.

"Hey, how can you be so rude? You're young, how can you bully an old person?" Jiang Lingling, who was changing a patient's medicine, couldn't bear to see this and immediately ran over, shouting at Zhang Guiping.

"Mind your own business." Zhang Guiping glared at Jiang Lingling and said fiercely.

"How can you be so unreasonable? You bully an old person, and others can't say anything?" Jiang Lingling said.

"I told you to mind your own business! Or I'll make you pay!" Zhang Guiping stopped and turned around, pointing at Jiang Lingling angrily.

"How can you be so unreasonable? This is a hospital. You pushed an old person to the ground, and others can't say anything?" Fang Ping, seeing Zhang Guiping being so aggressive to Jiang Lingling, immediately came to help.

The patients and their families around also gathered to watch the commotion.

Zhang Guiping didn't dare to act rashly under everyone's watchful eyes. He glared at Fang Ping and Jiang Lingling for a while, then said fiercely, "You be careful!" and quickly rushed into the ward. Fang Ping and Jiang Lingling quickly helped Yao Hong up.

"Are you hurt?" Jiang Lingling asked.

"I'm fine, that beast went to my brother's ward." Yao Hong, worried that Zhang Guiping might harm Yao Sihai in a fit of anger, limped towards the ward.

Qin Chuan, hearing the commotion, immediately ran over.

Fang Ping and Jiang Lingling also quickly followed Yao Hong into the ward.

"Mom, come with me!" Zhang Guiping pulled Hu Yemei, trying to take her out.

"I won't go with you!" Hu Yemei tried to pull her hand away, but how could she match Zhang Guiping's strength?

Hu Yemei's hand tightly held Yao Sihai's hand. When Zhang Guiping pulled, he almost pulled Yao Sihai off the bed, nearly making him fall.

"Stop!" Jiang Lingling rushed forward to block Zhang Guiping.

Zhang Guiping raised his hand and hit Jiang Lingling's face.

Qin Chuan quickly rushed over and grabbed Zhang Guiping's hand, "Don't cause trouble in the hospital!"

Jiang Lingling had already closed her eyes in fear, thinking she would definitely be hit. But Qin Chuan came just in time to save her.

Fang Ping and Yao Hong quickly went over to support Yao Sihai.

"Guiping! Let me go!" Hu Yemei shouted hysterically.

"Mom, you have no shame, but I still have some! If you want to find someone, find someone decent. He's like a beggar. Won't it make us brothers look bad?" Zhang Guiping said angrily.

"Slap!" Hu Yemei let go of Yao Sihai and slapped Zhang Guiping's face, "You beast! If it weren't for Yao Sihai, would you have today? If it weren't for Yao Sihai, our family would have starved to death long ago! How could I have given birth to such an ungrateful beast?"

This slap stunned Zhang Guiping. Although the family was poor, Hu Yemei had always been very loving towards her two sons, never hitting or scolding them. This was the first time Zhang Guiping had been hit by Hu Yemei in his memory.

"You hit me for such a man?" Zhang Guiping said angrily.

After hitting Zhang Guiping in public, Hu Yemei was somewhat regretful, but hearing Zhang Guiping's words, she became even angrier, "You think I'm not decent enough? From now on, I'm no longer your mother, and you're no longer my son. We'll draw a line. I'll be with Yao Sihai, whether as a beggar or starving to death, I don't need you to care. You go be your official and live your decent life. Even if I die, I won't need you to care!"

"Fine! Fine! Fine!" Zhang Guiping said three "fines" and then let go of Hu Yemei's hand, "This is what you said. If you suffer in the future, don't come to me for help."

"Just consider me dead. Rest assured, even if I starve to death, I won't come to you, this official." Hu Yemei was truly disappointed in this son.

"And you! Be careful! I'll make you pay!" Zhang Guiping wanted to take out his anger on Qin Chuan and the others.

Qin Chuan pressed Zhang Guiping's hand down, "Be careful. There are cameras everywhere. Don't think being an official makes you so great. If the video gets online, you'll be in trouble!"

Zhang Guiping saw the camera in the corner and his face turned green. Looking around, he saw several people holding phones, filming the scene.
