Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 981 - 794: Dog Eat Dog
"Yes, old man, you don’t just have two sons now, you have three. Don’t worry about the small matter of the house being robbed, my two elder brothers and I will handle it for you. You can just focus on recovering from your illness. Oh... by the way, I forgot to tell you, your wife, the old lady, got scared into illness by you, a serious lung issue, so severe that she can’t get out of bed this time."
"Shuqing, what’s wrong with your mom?" As expected, Chen Haichang’s words made Mr. Mei tense.
Mei Shuqing helplessly glanced at Chen Haichang, signaling him not to speak recklessly.
"Dad, mom’s fine, she’s doing well, you don’t have to worry."
The more Mei Shuqing said this, the more Mr. Mei felt something was wrong. He wanted to go and see his wife, but unfortunately, he couldn’t get out of bed because of his leg.
"Dad, I assure you, mom’s fine, just rest well and try to recover in the next couple of days." Mei Shuqing finished speaking and helplessly glanced at Chen Haichang, who seemed to find opportunities to disrupt the peace of the Mei Family.
After leaving the ward, Mei Shuqing took Chen Haichang to a corner in the hallway and said, "Haichang, can you stop stirring things up recently? No matter their faults, they are blood relatives, after all. You shouldn’t push things to mutual destruction."
"You’re wrong, second brother. In my game against the old man, I’ve always had the upper hand. Where’s the mutual destruction?" Chen Haichang said indifferently.
"As far as I know, you’re alone now, apart from us, the Chen Family doesn’t have many people left, right? If you really want to go against the Mei Family, you could end up being completely isolated. Haichang, you’re still young. Even though I’m your elder brother, there’s a generational gap between us. If not for our relation, you and Junzi, Xiao Yi, should be considered in the same generation. I see you get along well with them. You still don’t understand the importance of family to a person. It’s true, during his youth, he was a bastard, made many mistakes, but he’s still my father. How could we just watch him being stooged around by you? If you accept me as your brother, have a peaceful reunion in the Capital City this year. This year is the most complete for our family; everyone is here. In fact, you and Xiao Yi are similar, holding your grievances inside. Compared to Xiao Yi, perhaps you even hold a bit more hatred. But sometimes, life is like this; some things are undeniable no matter how much you wish to escape them, blood ties exist." Mei Shuqing said, patting Chen Haichang’s shoulder, meaningfully advising, "Take your brother’s advice; if you really anger him to death now, what would others think of you?"
Chen Haichang could feel that this second brother was genuinely considering his well-being, but there were certain things he simply didn’t care about. He felt they lived in different worlds and what mattered to him might not matter to others. Therefore, some things could never compromise.
For the sake of the usual kindness shown by the Mei Family, Chen Haichang didn’t argue, keeping a cold face as he turned and left.
Leaving Mei Shuqing alone, helplessly shaking his head.
The old man said this was Chen Haichang’s doing, but Mei Shuqing didn’t quite agree. If Chen Haichang wanted these things, he would ask the old man outright; he wouldn’t use such a clumsy method.
Moreover, last night, Chen Haichang was in the hospital all along during that timeframe.
...
Han Yi and Lin Wan, along with their little family of three, slept till late morning. Han Yi, rarely, got up to make a sumptuous brunch for the two little princesses at home.
Little Star’s throat was uncomfortable, so Han Yi didn’t let her eat anything too dry and specially made her some congee.
After eating, the family of three went out to buy groceries, stocking up on tens of kilograms of Chinese cabbage and radishes. At this time in winter, there really aren’t many vegetables, but in a few years, when logistics improve, some vegetables from the south will come, and there will be more varieties.
Moreover, it’s not far from New Year, they need to start preparing some New Year goods. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Seeing that Han Yi was rarely here today, they made a phone call to home, and specially called Grandma too.
Grandma was already discharged, her leg had regained sensation but lacked strength, making it hard to sustain even a few steps, so now she stayed in bed most of the time, rarely walking around.
These days, she’s been living in the old house, mostly looked after by Shen Rong, with her eldest and second aunt, as well as her mother-in-law, taking turns caring for her. This winter passed quite well.
Han Yi specially bought two fish, simmered them into tofu fish soup all afternoon, by three or four in the afternoon, he along with Little Star and Lin Wan went to the hospital.
